You were in your dance practice room with your members. It was already 9.30 pm and all of you were only half way done with the choreo. Your choreographer allowed a 10 mins break. You quickly took your bottle from the side of the room and drank it. Your sweat were dripping down your neck and you were breathing heavily due to the long hours of practice.

"Eonni, you okay?" your youngest member asked. "You look a little pale today." She added. You turned to her, nodding. You were hoping that none of the members realised that it was the first day of your red sea. But apparently, mission failed.

"Alright! Back to practice, guys!" you shouted, gathering all your members back to positions. Your choreographer pressed the play button on the audio device and started dancing. From head to toe, you were focused on the dance steps. You tried to not make any mistakes. You watched yourself in the mirror and followed your title track from the speaker.

An hour has passed, you and your members were dead tired. You could go on much longer but you couldn't make it happen. Your cramps were starting to develop. By looking at your face, you needed more plain water than ever. Your older member came towards you and passed you a bottle of water.

"Hey, you shouldn't be pushing yourself too hard this week." she said as she watched you drink. "This week is the week you need more rest. You have to tell our choreo eonni." Your head turned towards your older member and you shook your head. "No, your comeback stage is coming soon. I need to practice." You said.

"I'm worried that you'll faint again, Y/N-ah." She reminded you of the incident that happened a month ago. "Don't worry, I'll be fine. More water this time and I'm all good." You smiled and showed your thumbs up as you walked towards your bag. You tried to reassure her that you'll be okay but she doesn't seem to be convinced. In the end, she sighed and allowed you to do whatever you think was best.

It was almost 11 pm. The members were starting to pack up and leave the room. You, on the other hand, was on the floor and leaning onto the wall, facing the mirror.

"You coming?" your members looked at you. "I'll be home soon, don't worry." you reassured them before they left the room. One of them waved to you before leaving the room. Your head leaned onto the wall and you sighed in relief. Funny how you loved the silence of the room. No one with you. No sound from the speaker. Just sounds from the air conditioner. You breathed in deeply and exhaled. You loved the atmosphere. You could relax peacefully. 

"I should really take care of my health." you thought to yourself. "I shouldn't add the burden anymore. Not after the fainting incident." You sighed again and closed your eyes to rest. 

Moments later, you suddenly hear music. Your eyes shot open and looked at your surroundings. There wasn't anyone here with you. You decided to open the door and stuck your head out. Your ears caught the sound from the last room on the other side of the level. Without hesitation, you took your bag and walked out of the room. Your feet wanted to leave the place but curiosity wanted you to find out what was in the room. You ended up walking towards the room. Unknowingly, you felt scared. As you came nearer and nearer to the door, your hands trembled. The music became much louder. Your heart beat started to speed up. You didn't know what was going to happen. 

You were right in front of the room, your right hand instinctively held the doorknob but still trembling. You exhaled to calm yourself down. You turned the knob, letting the door to be opened ajar. Your eyes looked inside the room and they widened. 

"Oh?" You opened the door wide. A man was dancing, following the beats of his group's title track. It was MONSTA X' leader, Shownu. His back was wide, his legs were moving sharply and his expression was on point. You were not just amazed by his dancing, you were also attracted to how good looking he was. You walked towards the couch near the door and sat. You were still watching him until he stopped dancing. 

"Oh! You were watching me?" he asked, breathing heavily then walking towards his water bottle. 

"I'm sorry! I shouldn't be disturbing you practicing." you looked down, wanting to walk off. 

"No no, it's okay. You're the new girl group leader right?" your eyelids lit up as he asked. You didn't know he would recognise you. not just a new girl group but also a leader! You turned your back from him and said, "Yes, I am." Now, you were looking at him. You were mesmerised with his features. His eyes, his lips and his nose. They were perfect. You couldn't compare him with any other male idols. 

He chuckled. "Better do well, okay?" he came closer to you and patted your head, smiling. "Aren't you suppose to be home by now? Your members must have been worried about you being alone."  He walked to his bag as he asked. 

"True, I should. But I wanted to relax for a while." you naturally replied him. He turned to you when he picked up his bag. 

"You should have relaxed at home. You look a little pale, Y/N-ah." he stated, he passed you an extra water bottle that he had. "You need more water in your body before you faint....... again." 

"You knew about that incident...?" you were shocked when he said that. You couldn't hide how embarrassed you were. 

"Of course, I know. If you weren't my favourite person in your group, I wouldn't be worried." his face came closer to yours and grinned. "Let's go home." He took your hand and walked out of the room, switching off the lights. You followed him without saying anything, blushing.

As you both walked home, you kept looking at him then looked the front. You couldn't help yourself. He was that attractive.

Suddenly, his face turned, facing you. "Why? Am I that handsome?" He asked while smiling. You couldn't say anything as you were speechless. "Uh- well-- yeah, you are, to be honest. Must be why girls go crazy over you." He grinned then chuckled.

"Same as you. Boys want you to be with them as their girlfriend. So, we're even." You laughed at his statement. You couldn't deny that fact either. You both didn't realise the time and eventually reached your apartment.

"Well, nice meeting you, sunbae-nim. And thank you for walking with me back home. I really appreciate it!" You smiled and bowed to him, showing your appreciation.

"No worries. By any chance, are you free tomorrow?" He asked a question out of the blue. You looked at the ceiling, thinking hard if you had any schedule.

"I do have practice tmr. May I ask why?"

"Would you go for lunch with me?" He proposed. His eyes showed that he was hoping that you were able to make it.

You laughed at his question and answered, "I'll be honoured to!"

"Tomorrow is officially our first date, okay?" He patted your head. "No going back now." He whispered then pecked your cheek. You couldn't believe that he, MONSTA X' leader asked you on a date! As he walked away, you held the cheeks that he pecked on. It was the best night you couldn't even imagine!
