Paper Hearts (Re-write)

Chapter 6: Dancing Dummy

I'm on the floor, panting. I just finished doing the 'If You Do' choreography for like the fifth time in a row. My lungs burn with each breath, so I limit myself taking only deep breaths. I look at the floor bringing my hand through my hair. I need to be sharper with my movements. I let the next song play out but an unfamiliar sound makes me look up at the door. It's Hoseok standing under the doorway with a Gatorade bottle in his hand. He's looking at me with a smile on his face. Weird.

Hoseok: hello y/n

Y/n: uh hi Hoseok

Hoseok: you consider me an acquaintance, correct? I hope you do because that's what I consider you.

He doesn't consider me a stranger. That's good, I think. But why is he here asking me if I consider us being acquaintances. I feel my cheeks start to grow pink.

Y/n: Y-yeah sure?

Hoseok: okay good. So I need a dancing dummy, and I've been watching you dance. You're definitely skilled.

Y/n: watching me dance?

Hoseok: That does sound creepy, doesn't it? It sounded better in my head. Sorry (awkwardly laughs) but yeah, I want you to be my dancing dummy.

Y/n: what exactly would I be doing?

Hoseok: excellent question! I need a female dancer to practice and coordinate some moves on. I want to do a choreography with my girlfriend. I want to teacher her it once I got it all figured it out. That's why I'm asking you to help me figure a few dance moves for my girlfriend and I. Does that make sense?

Girlfriend?

Y/n: but wouldn't it be more fun, if you just made it with her?

Hoseok: I suppose. But I wanted to impress her with the dance that I'm going to create for her. But it's okay if you don't want to help me. I figured since we're not that close.

Y/n: uh no, no it's fine I'll help I guess... (^_^;)

Hoseok: you're really the best, y/n.
Thank you! You're going to be here tomorrow, right?

Y/n: I wasn't going to be, but I can squeeze in time to come in.

Hoseok: are you sure that's fine? Because I feel like I'm already asking too much.

Y/n: no it's fine. What time is good for you tomorrow?

Hoseok: uh well would you be able to come at noon? And come to my room, 135.

Y/n: alright, I'll see you then.

Hoseok: yeah and oh, this is for you.
(Hands me the Gatorade bottle) I hope you like this flavor.

Y/n: (^ ^) thanks. I-

I feel a female figure walk up behind Hoseok.

Seul-gi: excuse me~~.(^-^)/

Hoseok: (jumps a little) oh! I-I'm sorry.
( moves to let Seul-gi in)

He stands beside me. We're both looking at Seul-gi, who is grinning widely while staring at Hoseok.

Seul-gi: hello! I'm seul-gi. Y/n mentioned a handsome face named Hoseok. So that must be you. (^_−)−☆
