"I'm so full!" Hyung-min pats his stomach proudly. "Yah, lucky that you get to eat alot while Kate and I ate only soup and salad." Madeleine-unnie sneers. Hyung-min smiles and we sat down in the lobby.


"Kate," Madeleine sat down and looked at me, kinda worried.

"Yes?" I asked. 

"So um, your birthday is coming up on the 21st, is there something you want?"

"Nothing much, unnie. You giving me alot of opportunities and experiences in this K-Pop community is enough for me." I smiled at her.

"I'll buy a cake!" Hyung-min smiles. "You're broke." Madeleine sneers. "Yah! I'm not THAT broke, at least I can afford Kate a cake!" Hyung-min scrunches his face at Madeleine.

"Then, can you do me a favor?" Madeleine smiles at me. I can't say no to her, she's too cute to be denied. "Hmm, depends, what is it?" I asked.

"A former trainee from Starship wasn't able to be in the weekly presentation earlier, that's why there were three of them, can you fill in her space for a week, please?" She pouted. "I'll let one of the BTS members be your coach if I have to! Special training!"

My eyes widened. "Did.. did you just say, BTS members as a coach?" I said. "Yep! Can you start next week, then?" Madeleine-unnie bounced on the couch like a kid.

"Alright, just only this week." I answered.

=:NEXT DAY:=

Ri-ring! Ri-ring! My phone goes off. What time is i-- IT'S 6AM. I answered the call. "Yeobuseyo?"

"Katie!" It's Madeleine. "Time to go train! Head to Bighit's training center, Ppali! I'm waiting in the lobby." she said, and ended the call. I dressed up into my plain white t-shirt and black jogging pants, with a black baseball cap and a mask. I get out of my apartment and headed for the lobby. I see the Malibu and quickly entered the car, without any paparazzi.

"Alrighty!" Madeleine drives the car and we head to Bighit. "Taehyung will be your coach today, because the others have individual promotions going on, and Taehyung is the only one available. He even volunteered to coach you."

Oh shoot. The times him and I were together. I remembered it all. "Unnie, there's no other coach? It's okay if I get trained by a music teacher instead.." I said. "Hm? What's wrong?" Madeleine-unnie asks.

"It's just.. I've been feeling this emotion.. It hurts my chest, and I can't control it.." I said, clasping my chest. Madeleine immediately stops the car and turned around to me. "Are you okay?! Did you eat something bad? I knew we shouldn't have eaten the food the ajumma gave us yesterday.."

"No no! It's okay! It's just, every time I see Taehyung, my heart hurts, and I get dizzy.." I said.

"Oh." Madeleine turns back and starts driving the car. "I know whats up!" She said.

"You do?" I asked.

"Yep! You're not used to Taehyung's foolish face!" She jokingly said.

"Unnie! I'm serious~" I laughed. "It's something I haven't felt like when I used to like Suga."

"It's love, honey." Madeleine smiles. "I know what that feels like. Like me and Wonho- kya~" Madeleine squeals. "That's something you should take care of." She continued. "I know it sounds like 'Hey, I heard a sound from the dark basement, I should check it out!'- kind of thing, but if you feel something as exceptional as what you're feeling at the moment towards the person you like, go for it." She smiles. "My Katie's all grown up!" Madeleine starts crying.

"U-unnie! Don't cry! It's okay!" I stuttered, comforting Madeleine-unnie. "Watch where you're driving!"

We arrived at Bighit, and we entered through the back of the building.

"Kate!" Taehyung called out to me as I entered. I bowed and smiled, "Oppa!" Taehyung blushed so hard and regained his composure. Madeleine comes in and Taehyung bowed. "Good morning, ma'am." Madeleine smiled and headed for the elevator. "Train downstairs now, you guys have a lot to do today." We nodded and headed downstairs.

"Arasseo, first of all, you should do stretching." Taehyung walks into the dance room and sits down. "Y'know, you should've worn shorts.." He said. "No." I said, while stretching. 

"You'll sweat alot later-" 

"No."

"Okay."

"..You won't be able to move a lo-" 

"No."

"Okay."

After the stretches Taehyung stood up and walked towards the piano across the room. "Come here, time to do vocal lessons. When I press a piano key here, you should imitate the same sound with your voice. Arasseo?" I nodded and he pressed a key. Do.. It was a very low tone so I imitated it perfectly* (*A/N: I don't study piano notes so I don't know much about their names LOL) "Good." He said.

The more keys he pressed the higher it goes, and the more I have trouble on each note.

Re, "Re.." I imitated.
"Good." He said.

Mi,  "Mi.."
"Good."

Fa, "Fah.."
"Good."

So, "Soh.."
"Good."

La, "Lah.."
"Good."

Ti, "Ti.."
"Good."

Do, "Do--" My voice cracked, and I immediately stopped. I bit my lips and looked away. Taehyung lets go of the piano keys and he also looks away, covering his mouth.

"T-Taehyung?" I asked. "Are you okay?-" I turn him around and I see him in tears, trying to hold in his laugh. "Yah! What are you doing?!" I punched his shoulder. He starts to burst into laughter and I blushed from embarrassment. "Mian, mianhae" He chuckled as he wipes of his tears. "We'll improve that later" He smiles and stood up. "Time for dance class!"

Taehyung stood up and went to the center of the dance room. "Stand here."  He pointed at the red 'X' mark on the center. I stood on the mark and Taehyung went behind me and raised both of my arms, reaching from side to side. His body so close behind me.. Wait.. This reminds me of something. (A/N: "JACK~ I'M FLYING~" -ROSE HAHAHAHAH)

"You're.. t-too close, Taehyung." I whispered. He immediately lets go of me and looks away. "Sorry." He said. 

"When dancing, depending on the song's style, it should be either snappy, tough, or smooth." He explained. "Make sure every part of your body is moving most of the time, and make sure there are no lazy parts." He explains more, as he demonstrates each type of dance steps. He's dreamy, I can't stop looking at him..
