After his apology, things had been quieter. The air between you was no longer charged with constant tension. You and J-Hope didn't fight or argue as before, but minor conflicts still arose during practice sessions. Despite these occasional disputes, you had managed to choreograph your routine. Now, the focus is solely on practicing as much as possible until your sweat is enough to fill a bucket. The dedication and effort were visible in every movement, with each step becoming more precise with each passing hour.
After three hours of continuous practice, you decided to take a break. Your muscles ached, and your breath came in short gasps. You sat down in a corner, scrolling through YouTube, seeking a momentary escape from the relentless training. The cool floor beneath you was a small comfort as you tried to relax your tired body. Meanwhile, J-Hope had gone to get drinks, his absence giving you a brief moment of solitude.
You got a call from Sir. Why is he calling me now? It's 3 in the afternoon... so suddenly? A feeling of unease crept up your spine as you answered the call.
Y/N: Hello, Sir.
TEACHER: Hi, Y/N, did you reach Incheon?
Huh? What is Sir talking about? Why do I need to go to Incheon?
Y/N: (confused) Sir, I'm not sure what you are talking about.
Teacher: You and Hoseok are not in Incheon right now?!
Y/N: No, sir...
TEACHER: Registration for the competition starts tomorrow! You guys have to register yourselves! Where are you?!
Y/N: WHAT?! We didn't know about this! Sir, I'm at J-Hope's house.
Teacher: Pack your stuff and quickly leave for Incheon!
Y/N: Yes, sir!
You cut the call and rushed to find Hoseok in the kitchen, your heart pounding with urgency.
Y/N: (panicked) Hoseok! Incheon... re-registration... we have to leave!
J-Hope, holding two cans of Sprite, came towards you, his brow furrowed in concern.

HOSEOK: What's the matter, Y/N?
Y/N: (stammering) Re-registration—we have to go.
HOSEOK: (holding your hand) Calm down, Y/N. Deep breath. Now tell me.
Y/N: (deep breath) Sir, I called a few minutes ago. He said we had to leave for Incheon immediately. The competition will be held there, and we have to register ourselves.
HOSEOK: Huh?!
Y/N: We have to leave. Pack your stuff. I'll go home now. Give me a call when you're ready! (Leaves as fast as lightning.)

Thanks to your mom's speedy driving, you and J-Hope quickly reached the train station. The cityscape blurred past as your mom expertly navigated the streets, her focus and urgency matching yours.
MOM: Stay together, and no wandering around at night!
Y/N: Yes, Mom. We won't.
You took your luggage and walked inside, the hustle and bustle of the train station surrounding you.
Y/N: J-Hope, will you walk faster, or should I carry you?
J-HOPE: Don't ever try that.
Y/N: Then Walk fast!
You got on the right train at the right time. The relief of making it on time washed over you as you stored your luggage and sank into your respective seats.
J-HOPE: Let's go, Incheon.
Y/N: (relieved) Thank God, this problem is solved.
INCHEON, STAY IN
You were lucky that the participants got to stay in a hotel paid for by the organizers. The hotel loomed before you, an elegant structure with sleek glass windows reflecting the late afternoon sun. The lobby was grand, with marble floors and a chandelier that sparkled like a cluster of stars. After checking in, you took your room key and headed towards your room.

The room was stunning and more luxurious than you had imagined. The walls were painted in soothing pastel colors and adorned with tasteful art. The king-sized bed was draped with plush, white linens that looked inviting and soft. The large windows offered a breathtaking view of the cityscape, with the horizon stretching out to meet the sky. A cozy sitting area with a loveseat and a small table was tucked into one corner, perfect for relaxing after a long day. The bathroom was equally impressive, with a deep soaking tub, a spacious shower, and polished chrome fixtures that gleamed under the lights.
Y/N: Whoa! This room is amazing!
J-HOPE: Yeah, let's check out the bathroom.
Y/N: Wow, if it's like this, I'll participate in a dance competition every time!
You were talking about how good the room was when you noticed something.
