Joshua's calm nature contrasts Hoshi's energetic personality, but as they spend more time together choreographing for a special stage, they find balance and an unexpected romantic spark.

The practice room buzzed with the soft hum of background music, its beats providing a steady rhythm for the dance.
Joshua stood in front of the mirror, his movements fluid but precise, his calm demeanor grounding the entire room.
He glanced over at Hoshi, who was practicing in the opposite corner.
His energy radiated with every sharp turn and leap, a flurry of movement that seemed to fill the space around him.
They had been paired up for this special stage, something neither of them had seen coming.
Joshua, always collected, with a natural grace to his steps, and Hoshi, with his boundless energy, seemed like two pieces of a puzzle that didn't quite fit.
Yet as the days passed, something unexpected began to shift between them.
"Shua hyung, loosen up a little!"
Hoshi called out, smiling as he spun toward him, landing with a burst of excitement.
"This is supposed to be fun!"
Joshua chuckled softly, shaking his head.
"If I loosen up any more, I'll be falling over."
"You won't!"
Hoshi insisted, moving over to stand beside him.
"Here, just -"
He reached out, placing a hand on Joshua's arm, adjusting his posture.
The touch lingered for a moment longer than necessary, their eyes meeting briefly in the mirror.
For a second, the music faded into the background. Hoshi's usual bright energy softened, his gaze focused as if he were seeing Joshua differently for the first time.
"Like this?"
Joshua asked, his voice low, suddenly aware of the shift between them.
"Yeah,"
Hoshi said quietly, stepping back.
"Exactly like that."
They resumed practicing, but something had changed. Each time their hands brushed during the choreography, the tension between them grew, charged with something unspoken.
It was subtle at first, just a spark, but as they moved through the dance together, they found a rhythm that was all their own, a balance between Joshua's calm and Hoshi's fire.
And with it came something neither had anticipated; a warmth, a connection that made the dance feel less like a performance and more like something real.
