Paper Hearts (Re-write)

Chapter 4: Meeting him

(Two days later)

[seulgi- 11:26am]-  rain check sorry y/n.

Are you kidding me? The second "rain-check" since the day she walked out on Myungsoo and me. I asked her about it but she told me not to worry. How does she expect me not to worry? She's my friend and I care about her. What kind of friend would I be if I didn't care? It makes me wonder if she has feelings for Myungsoo. Maybe she's jealous? I want to ask her, but I'd rather do it face to face. I was planning on asking her today if she showed, but here I am alone, with a cold coffee. It's eleven in the morning so it's still too early to head down to the dance studio. I unlock my phone and go through my emails. Spam as usual and a couple emails from my professors, saying that there is work due soon. I really need to finish it. On the other hand, the bakery, oddly enough, has been doing good since I've read the book Myungsoo bought. As I'm scrolling down, I find an email from a professor that caught my eye.

-Dear Y/n,
The essay you submitted has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it did not exceed expectations, therefore, you are not eligible to graduate early-

What? No- I know I've been slacking about my homework but the essay was the only thing I took my time and worked hard on! (Sigh) I really wanted this. To cheer myself up, I tell myself that I'm still going to graduate. I hope... I realize after, being on some of my social media apps that it was already 11:38 pm. I get up from my table and grab my bookbag that has my dance clothes and water and head to the dance studio. Since the studio wasn't far from the cafe that I was at, it didn't take me that long to make it there. I walk into the dance studio and checked the time on my phone. 11:58pm. I walk up to the reception desk and check in.

Y/n: Hello I'm miss. Y/l/n. I'm here to check in for my 12:00 dance room.

Receptionist: ah, yes there you are. Head to room 153. The door should be open and ready for you (she says with a wide smile)

I slightly bow and thank her. I start walking towards the direction that the receptionist pointed me to walk. I see the women's locker room and go in. I should change into my dance clothes. When I finished changing into my dance clothes I headed to my room. I was wearing a blue and black designed sports bra and a pair of black leggings that stopped at my calves and a pair of baby blue Nike sneakers. As I'm walking down the hallway, I hear muffled music from some of the doors. I make my way to the rooms that were above 130 and then I realized that I forgot my room number. Shit! I tried to remember and I believe the receptionist said 135. Should I go back and ask her. Oh, that's too embarrassing, who forgets their room number. I walked into the room 135, hoping it's the right one. The door is wide open and empty. So I'm pretty sure this is the room. There are mirror walls right across from the door entrance. There is a barre, long pole fixed along the mirrors horizontally and the floor is a nice honey colored wood. The other two mirrorless walls were painted a bright orange and one of them included a large stereo. Typical, I thought. There is also a bathroom in the corner of the room. Or what I think is a bathroom. I walk to the center of the room facing the mirrors. I should stretch first. But then what? I haven't danced in a while. What if I lost my rhythm? I do the usual stretches. I walk over to the stereo and plug in the aux cord into my phone. I scroll down my song collection. Should I just do 4minute choreography? I mean, nothing else is coming to mind. But which song should I dance? Actually, how about Exo's love me right? I've been watching their dance practices a lot. Let's see what I can remember from it or, at least , the chorus. I play love me right and stand in the center of the room, I start tapping my foot with the beat. I must admit as I was watching myself in the mirror, I was bit rusty. I was too stiff.
Loosen up, have fun. This song is about having fun right?
Once the chorus came on, I pictured the dance practice video in my head and I started to move. I moved my body with the beat.
