Jaemin wiped the sweat from his brow, his breath coming in shallow gasps as he took a moment to catch his breath. The dim lights of the practice room cast long shadows across the floor, reflecting the late hour. The rest of NCT Dream had gone home hours ago, but Jaemin had stayed behind, determined to nail the new choreography they were working on. The upcoming comeback was important, and he wanted everything to be perfect.
But there was another reason he was staying so late.
His mind flashed back to the conversation he'd had with one of the senior choreographers earlier that day.
"You should add something more... daring," the choreographer had suggested as they'd gone over the routine. "A sexy move, you know? Show your abs—tease the camera a bit. It'll drive the fans crazy."
Jaemin had laughed it off at the time, but the idea stuck with him. He wasn't particularly known for sexy concepts—he'd always been more of the boy-next-door type. But a part of him wanted to break out of that image, to show a different side of himself.
And who better to emulate than one of his idols, Kai from EXO? Kai was the embodiment of charisma and sensuality on stage, always exuding confidence with every move. Jaemin had looked up to him for years, admiring how effortlessly Kai could switch between charming and smoldering.
That's what Jaemin wanted to do. He wanted to show that he could be just as captivating.
He glanced at the mirror, taking in his reflection. His hair was damp with sweat, clinging to his forehead, and his shirt was plastered to his chest. He hesitated for a moment before pulling his shirt up slightly, exposing his toned abs. He wasn't used to showing off like this, but if he was going to commit to the move, he had to give it his all.
Jaemin took a deep breath and went through the routine again, this time adding the daring move near the end, pulling up his shirt in one swift motion. But as he did, the practice room door creaked open behind him.
He froze, his heart dropping into his stomach. Slowly, he turned around, hoping it was just one of the staff members or maybe a fellow member who had forgotten something.
But no.
Standing in the doorway was Kai.
Kai from EXO.
Jaemin's mind went blank.
Kai looked just as effortlessly cool as he always did, dressed casually in a hoodie and sweatpants, but there was no mistaking the aura that surrounded him. He had that same laid-back confidence that made him seem untouchable. Jaemin stared at him, his mouth going dry, as he realized that Kai had just witnessed him attempting to do a sexy move... and failing miserably.
Kai's expression was unreadable for a moment, and Jaemin felt like the floor had opened up beneath him. He could feel his face heating up in embarrassment as the silence stretched between them. Of all the times for one of his favorite artists to walk in, it had to be now?
Finally, Kai raised an eyebrow, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips. "Practicing late, huh?"
Jaemin swallowed hard, his throat suddenly dry. "Y-yeah," he stammered, lowering his shirt quickly. He felt like he was going to die from embarrassment. There was no way Kai hadn't seen what he'd just done.
Kai took a few steps into the room, casually leaning against the wall. "That move you just did... interesting choice," he said, his tone light and teasing.
Jaemin's face burned even more, and he wished he could disappear. "I was just... trying something new," he muttered, avoiding eye contact.
Kai chuckled softly. "You don't have to be so embarrassed. It's all part of the process, right? Trying new things."
