Broken Wings

DANCING DREAMS

     Class ended, and I bolted out and sprinted to the dance studio. I didn't care about what the other students thought, but I wanted to get out of that blonde idiot's sight. That psycho case was a creep. His eyes turned red every five minutes, and it's so freakishly scary. I didn't even bother to ask him why his eyes changed like raging fire. He just randomly finds opportunities to shove "baby" or "honey or "Jiminie" in every damn conversation. I swear I had just met the guy today, but he talked to me as if we were a cute couple in a 10-year long relationship. My life is hard. And to think I'm going to be sitting beside this idiot for the next of the semester is already freaking me out. It's only been the first day and he's squeezing my thighs for no good reason. God knows what's going to happen next.

      Well, I knew that I had a certain sunshine to look forward to in my dance class. Just glancing at his face would make anyone's day ten times better. I ran into the studio and stumbled into someone's chest.

     "Jimin-ah! Be careful! You should be happy that I was here! You could've fallen!" Hoseok scolded.

      "God, Hoseok hyung I've had a really long day. Biology was a total wre-" I panted looking up from Hoseok's chest.

      "Class we are going to run a quick practice of I Need U. After that you guys can go work with your partner and continue working on the choreography for your paired routines!" said our dance instructor.

     I was paired with Hoseok for this dance assignment. Hoseok hyung really inspires me to strive higher in terms of dance. The way he gets into the feel of the beat is indescribable. When he dances, he doesn't express the song just through his body but also through his facial expressions. My aim is to dance like Hoseok hyung. To express my feelings with even the smallest movements.

     I quickly changed into my dance shoes and rushed into my assigned position for our formation for I Need U. I waited until the beat started, and I was taken away.

      My body moved unconsciously. Immediately my face turned solemn as the song advanced. I didn't need to recall or have to try to remember the steps. Whenever I listened to the song by myself, I'd feel the urge to cry. In dance class, I'd express my sad feelings through my facial expressions and through the dance.

     The climax came and I moved to the front and performed my part. I glanced slightly at Hoseok hyung who was entirely engulfed in his own feels. The song slowly came to the end and we ended with our separate poses. I panted slightly, while my sweat trickled down my silver bangs.

     "That was an amazing run through class! The dance is really coming along! Before you go off to your assigned partners, just a small reminder about the Dance Duo Showoffs. The auditions are going to be held in the school's auditorium starting next week. I'll be looking forward to seeing the performances of those who try out!"

     "Jimin-ah, how's your routine for the auditions going? I'm really starting to think that my own routine is lacking something. I just don't know what it is." Hoseok lamented.

     "Are you serious hyung?! I've seen your dance routine for the auditions and trust me, you'll get in. Come on give me that heart-shaped smile for Jiminie...."

      "Really? You think so? Ah, Jimin you always manage to make me feel better." Hoseok said and gave his 1000 watt smile.

      "Anything for my hyungie!  If we do manage to get chosen, I'm really praying that I'd get paired with you."

      "Jimin-ah there's so many people who will be chosen for the Showoffs. What are the chances that you and I would be put together? It's so dumb how they don't give us the option to pick our own partner for the Showoffs."

      "True...but forget it. Let's focus on our assignment's choreography for now." I said.

      "Oh yeah! Wait a second Jimin, I forgot to tell you something!" Hoseok suddenly alerted me, quickly grasping onto my shoulders.

      "What?  What did you forget to tell me?" I tilted my head, looking at him confused.

      "Jin hyung's cousin just joined our school. I didn't get to see him in the morning, but he's probably going to be sitting with us during lunch. You'll get to meet him and probably become friends with him. I remember Jin hyung telling me what his name was. I think it was Taeyong or Taeyan-"

      "Is it Taehyung?" I interrupted.

      "Wait! How do you know? I swear Jin hyung told me to tell you because he didn't tell you yet."

     "This Taehyung dude is Jin's cousin?! God, I have him in my stupid Biology class. Personally, I think he's kind of intimidating and annoying as hell. I'm not sure Hoseok hyung, but I think I'm getting some bad vibes off of him. There's just something about him that doesn't seem quite right." I scowled, furrowing my eyebrows.

     "Come on, he can't be that bad." Hoseok hyung smiled, calming my nerves down slightly.

    "He's the reason why I was so rushed when I came into the studio! I wanted to leave him as soon as possible. Now you are saying that this idiot is going to be sitting with us lunch?! I am going to puke half of my lunch out when I see his horrendous face. I might as well not eat my lunch!"

     "Why do you hate him so much? You're supposed to be the happy, friendly one, in all of our squad. Taehyung must have really put on a show in your Biology class, for you to speak like this." Hoseok hyung looked at me concerned.

     "Never mind hyung. Forget it." I rushed.

     "Okay then? Let's continue with practicing our routine."
