Twenty Four

"Alright everyone listen up. I have an announcement to make." Mr. Lee clapped to get everyone's attention in the room, Jongin included. He was being sort of moody that day as Sehun hadn't come to school. He'd never felt so lonely at school ever before even though all his friends were there to keep him company. Crossing his arms, he listened to whatever their insutructor had to say.

"I'm sure you all must have heard of the dance tryouts that are going to be held for the Nationals. You all are free to try out if you want to. I'm gonna be picking out the six best dancers for the final crew."

Everyone nodded their heads in understanding, slowly murmuring amongst each other.

"But." He continued, making the room go silent again, "These tryouts are going to be... slightly different."

Jongin furrowed his eyebrows in confusion as he crossed his arms, waiting for Mr. Lee to continue.

"You'll have to do dance covers."

Everyone in the room seemed fine with that and already started discussing amongst each other what song they would cover.

"The guys will do covers for girl groups and the girls will do covers for boy groups."

"Wait, what?" Jongin exclaimed.

"You heard me. You see, as dancers, you need to learn to be able to step out of your comfort zone, and still excel. That is the goal behind this decision. Now I want no complaining because I've already made up my mind."

"Are you serious?"

"This is ridiculous!"

Several other whines were heard from the room, and unsurprisingly it was mostly the guys who were complaining about the fact that doing girl group covers was too emasculating.

"You can choose whether to try out solo or in pairs. However, being in a pair doesn't necessarily mean you both will get picked," Mr. Lee continued nonchalantly, ignoring their complaints. Jongin sighed. He knew that once Mr. Lee had his mind set on something, changing his mind was close to impossible. And he was obviously not going to give up on Nationals for something petty like this. If he had to sway his hips and twerk a little to get into the crew, he was going to do it. It was his chance to go abroad.

Fuck it. He thought, might as well.

He briefly wondered how Sehun would react to the news. Once dance class was over, he filed out of the room and took a quick shower before making his way out of the school building while dialing his boyfriend. After a few rings, he answered the call.

"Hello?"

"Hey. Why didn't you come to school today?" Jongin asked as he got into his car and turned on the ignition.

"Ah, I had something to do."

"And what is that thing something supposed to be?"

"Hm... I'll tell you. Let's meet up somewhere?"

"Okay. My house, then? I also have some news."

"I'll be there in fifteen."

Jongin was blankly flipping through the channels when the intercom buzzed and he literally jumped out of the couch. He hadn't seen his boyfriend for the entire day and weirdly enough, he kind of missed him. Jogging to the front door, he unlocked it and was about to let Sehun hear it for not telling him that he wasn't coming to school but instead his eyes widened and his jaw dropped open when he took in the sight in front of him.

Sehun was dressed in a pair of washed jeans and a white full sleeved shirt that was rolled up halfway. Sure, he looked great as usual but that wasn't what surprised him.
