Can you Sing for Me? (MiMo)

Chapter 13 [2/2]

"Carefully with your step. Yes, keep it up, good, that's great...slow down a bit Haru, you're fast."

Momo slowed down her step a little. She released Nayeon, spinning her around before once again catching the girl's hand. They were doing dance practice for the forthcoming Classical Dance final. She only had a week left but still couldn't master the dance. Classical dance was more difficult than she thought. It had more delicate move than hip-hop dance. She stepped forward and spun their bodies but accidentally stepped on Nayeon's foot. She quickly caught the girl as she stumbled.

"Sorry!"

"You did it again." Mina who was teaching the pair classic dance approached them. "Concentrate Haru. Once again."

Momo mouthed 'sorry' and got smile from the girl. She asked Nayeon to be her partner, the girl was better than her other classmate girls. Luckily Jeongyeon chose hip-hop, although the class was about Classical Dance but Jinyoung allowed hip-hop, so she could partner with Nayeon. She took Nayeon's hand and the girl put her other hand on her shoulder, they then started to do stepping.

"Maybe I should choose hip-hop instead," she whispered to Nayeon and the girl chuckled before clearing her throat.

Mina noticed the boy was talking to his partner. "Haru! focus. You're getting late with your tempo. She's taking lead."

"It's difficult," Momo said in a little annoyance. However the next second Mina hit her forearm with a wooden stick.

"Ouch! What?"

Mina narrowed her eyes at the blonde boy. "Keep focus, you're supposed to take the lead. And keep your back straight."

This time the stick landed on her back. Momo let out small hiss, although it wasn't really hurt. She straightened her back, pulling Nayeon, taking the lead. But once again she felt the stick on her arm.

"I said take the lead not dragging your partner. And keep your partner closer to you so you can lead her." Mina walked around the dancing pair, giving instruction. While the girl was doing her part well, Haru on the other hand forgot his role in some parts.

Momo rolled her eyes slightly and Nayeon pressed lips together to hold back a laugh. Unfortunately for her Mina noticed it. And again the stick landed on her thigh. "Mina!" she groaned and released Nayeon. "I can't do this sort of dance," she muttered, frustrated.

"Your final is next week, and you still can't remember your part," Mina said to the blonde boy.

"Then I'll fail the class," Momo said curtly, crossing arms before chest.

Mina let out small sigh. She turned to the girl and gave small nod. The girl bowed her head before taking her bag and leaving the room. She looked at Haru and saw the boy still avoiding her gaze. She leaned the stick against wall and approached him.

"Partner dance is different from individual, if you fail so does your partner."

"I know, but it's difficult. I love dance but never done this type before," Momo said. She looked down brushing non-existed dirt from her running pants.

Mina looked at Haru. She could understand if he felt frustrated. She moved to stand before him. "Dance is like sing, it also needs feeling." She brought hands to touch his. She held his right hand and lifted it beside them. "Before you move, you must feel it first."

"Feel what?" Momo frowned.

Mina moved her gaze from their joined hands to him. "What you feel when you sing." She then lifted his left hand and placed it on her upper arm. "This type of dance has leader and follower," she added, putting her right hand on his shoulder-blade. "You are the leader, you lead your partner." She then pulled him against her. "I will show you how to lead."
