Dancing Hope (J-Hope) (Part 1)

Every time I walk down the stairs onto the first floor, I come across a large transparent window which gives a clear view inside of the room. That room being the dance room. Each time I pass it by at that very same hour there is a boy dancing in the room with the music baring loudly. The sound of squeaks whenever he moves his feet loudly echo outside of the room.

I'm fascinated with the way he dances. The lines his body makes with each move captivates me and always stops me in my track, often making me late for my class. Not that many people use this hallway during this time so i'm the only one who stands there in awe in front of the window which blocks me. A few times he's turned around and our eyes met, causing me to quickly look away and run to my class.

I've been watching his dancing for nearly three months like this.

I walked down those familiar stairs once more as the annoying elevator music which played in between classes got on my nerves. I walked towards the familiar window of the room and looked inside, only to be surprised that the boy was not there. The dance room was completely dark and it seemed like forever since I remembered it last looking like this.

I slyly looked around and scanned the empty hallway making sure no-one was there. Luckily the only thing around was a restroom and a few unused classrooms. I opened the door and went inside the dance room for the very first time. The lights flickered on and I now stood in the same room of the boy I admired for so long. It was a pretty small room with a large mirror facing parallel to me in which I remember the boy always dancing in front of, trying to master even the slightest of movements.

I was simply looking around when a tap on my shoulder made me let out a voice so high that it would surprise the likes of Mariah Carey. I turned slowly hoping that it wasn't a teacher who was going to yell at me for no apparent reason. But it wasn't, instead in front of me stood the boy who I had watched for long.

He wore a hoodie with the hood covering his beautiful coffee colored hair with only parts of the fringe being visibly shown. He had on dark skinny sweatpants and white converse to top it all off. It was simple yet effective. He had a small smile which showcased a bit of his beautifully sculpted teeth.

"You're the girl that always stands out here and watches." He stated this pretty nonchalantly and all the heat rose to my cheeks as I instantly looked down, too embarrassed to even face him. He probably thought I was a crazed stalker. I definitely hope that wasn't the case.

"I was a bit late today because I had some recording to do. If you want, you can sit and watch."

I was surprised by how he was talking to me as if he had knew me for a long time. Well at least he didn't think I was a crazed stalker.

I finally looked up to him and he sported a gorgeous smile which made my stomach turn as though it was at the olympics. He stuck his hand out in front of me.

"By the way, I'm J-Hope, but you can call me Hoseok."

I shook his hand and shyly introduced myself before quickly beam lining to the chair at the corner of the room. He took off his sweater revealing a tank top with his developed muscles catching my attention. He connected his phone to a speaker and the music bursted out loud. He looked back at me and smiled.

"It's We Are Bulletproof Pt. 2. Sit back and be amazed."

Well sir, for the past few months i've been standing outside of this room, as you know, and have been seeing something amazing every time. This'll be nothing new.

He began to dance and I only sat back and admired him before the lines "The name is Jungkook" played and that name sounded very familiar. And thats when everything added up. I can't believe I had missed this before, but not being interested in idols and having no friends to gossip with made me like this. I had completely missed the obvious. He's J-Hope. He's always dancing. He's really good looking. He has a bandmate named Jungkook. He was recording before coming here.

He's a member of BTS. He has to be. One of the most popular idol groups in this school and he's in it.

My eyes widened as I looked on at Hoseok even though my mind was somewhere else. How'd I befriend this guy who was in a behemoth of an idol group? Me, who has no friends am now on friendly terms with the dancing hope. 

That's life for ya.
