The man opened the door to the room. "Hello, can I help you?" He asked, sweaty and breathing heavily from all the dancing. "Well..."

"I came for the dance lesson that start in like 30 minutes... but i arrived a bit early, so I thought maybe I could watch some other students dance" Felix explained nervously. "Oh, I'm done dancing for now, so you can go warm up if you want?" The man smiled. "Oh, are you sure I'm allowed to?" Felix had to make sure. "Yeah! I own the studio, and I'll be training you today!" He winked. "I'll take a quick shower than be back, alright?" The man answered. "Oh.. okay" Felix replied dumbfounded.

The man left and Felix was left blushing. 'No wonder he's so good, he owns the studio!!' Felix thought and went into the practice room, taking off his jacket, starting to stretch a bit, doing different exercises to warm up.

He couldn't get that man out of his head, he didn't even know his name.. why didn't he ask? He should've asked. He was just so- so hot. Felix was even surprised by his own thoughts, he had never found someone he didn't even know, this interesting before. He wondered if the man would be his teacher every lesson, or if it'd be a one time thing. If not, Felix wanted to come early regularly, so he could watch him dance. To learn of course, I mean.

In the middle of a stretching pose, the door suddenly flew open, Felix thought maybe the man from before was back. But no, when he turned around he was met with a girl that he'd never seen before. "Hi!" Felix said to her cheerfully. No answer, weird. Maybe she didn't hear him. Felix went back to stretching, and the girl did the same.

The room slowly started filling up and after 15 minutes, the man from before came back. Now wearing something else than before, his hair slightly damped. "Hello everyone! Gather around in a circle please." He said and everyone went over to him, standing around him in a circle. "Today we have a new student!" He looked at Felix and smiled gently. "Want to come up and introduce yourself?" "Okay.." Felix answered nervously and walked over to him. "Well, I'm Felix and I'm looking forward to dancing with you all" Felix smiled softly. "Welcome Felix! Im Hyunjin, we're all excited to dance with you too!" The man, Hyunjin answered.

The lesson started and Felix learned that the girl from before was named Yeji, the best dancer in the group. She seemed like a bit of a bitch, but he hadn't talked to her yet, so maybe he's wrong. Felix did talk to some other people though, a girl named Soojin and some guy named Niki. Niki actually looked quite similar to Hyunjin, maybe they were brothers? No probably not, that'd be kinda weird.

Now they were practicing a dance, they had worked with it a couple of times before, so Felix hung a bit behind since he started today. So naturally he needed more time to learn everything, but he tried his best to follow along.

Felix couldn't take his eyes off Hyunjin, there was just something about him that.. intrigued Felix. The way he danced, or looked over every part of Felix's body when he danced to make sure he got the moves right. And if he didn't, he would stop him, and go through the steps again while focusing on just him, even helping him move right by moving my limbs around himself.

Even when Hyunjin helped other students, Felix's eyes were still on him, following his every move. Occasionally Hyunjin would look back at him and Felix quickly looked away each time, feeling embarrassed and flustered.

Eventually they're almost done with the lesson, about to go through the dance one last time before finishing. Hyunjin stood in the front, monitoring the students through the big mirror on the wall. Felix tried his best to do everything right, but sometimes he messed up. He noticed Yeji giving him dirty looks each time he did something wrong, weird.

Sometimes Felix and Hyunjin's eyes would meet through the mirror, Hyunjin would softly smile at him and Felix would look away flustered. He found it hard keeping eye contact with Hyunjin.

The song ended and everyone said goodbye quickly before gathering their things and leaving. When Felix reached the door, Hyunjin shouted his name. He turned around and looked at him, everyone else had left so there were only them left in the room. Hyunjin came over to him. "I just wanted to know if you liked todays lesson" he smiled. "O-oh, yeah I did. Although I had some trouble with the dance." Felix answered. "Yes, of course. You'll have to practice a little extra to learn it, I can help you if you want. I do lessons on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 6-8PM, other than that I'm mostly free!" Hyunjin said happily. "I'll take you up on that offer, how about Monday around 5?" Felix asked. "Sure! I'll meet you here then" Hyunjin smiled. They bid farewell and Felix left.

When he got home he talked to his parents about how the lesson went, then he decided to take a shower, and he did his skincare and then went to bed, texting Jisung and Jeongin about the celebration tomorrow, making sure they could still come. Before he eventually fell asleep.
