"You made it! I knew you would!" Jungkook praises once I make my way off of the stage and walk to him.

"I can't stop shaking." I say honestly and he laughs a little before giving me a cute bunny smile.

"Let's go. I'll buy you some food to celebrate." he says and we head for the exit.

"Yah! Wait up!" I hear and turn my head to see Hoseok running towards us.

My eyebrows raise as I stop and wait for him to catch up.

"Congratulations on making it in. I told you I saw real potential in you. You did amazing. My parents never praise anyone's dancing but they were praising yours like crazy. I knew you were talented." Hoseok says with a bright smile.

"Yeah, thanks." I say a bit awkwardly.

"Where are you guys off too? Don't you want to look around the school for a little?" He asks and I look over at Jungkook and shake my head.

"No. I'll have plenty of other time to do that, don't ya think?" I say and Hoseok laughs a little.

"Yeah I guess that's true." he says and then a guy comes up and attacks him in a back hug.

"Yo Hyung, what are you doing?" A guy with blonde hair asks.

"I was just talking to one of our new students." he says and the guy looks at me and smiles.

"Nice to meet you, Y/n right? I'm Jimin." the guy says and I pull my lips in a little and nod.

"I mean we're about to go out to eat. You can come if you want." Jungkook says and I took over at him, taken back.

"Really? We'd love to!" Hoseok says as he gives Jungkook a smile then wraps an arm around his shoulder.

"Well let's go!" he says and pulls him along, leaving me to trail alone behind them.

When we get to the restaurant Jungkook sits down beside me as the two others sit down beside one another.

"So Y/n! How long have you been dancing?" Jimin asks as he leans back against the seat and rests his arm on the arm rest behind Hoseok's head.

"Actually I don't." I say and both of their faces became covered in confusion.

"What do you mean you don't?" Jimin asks.

"I mean I don't dance. Not really anyway." I say and Jimin is silent for a minute before he laughs.

"Good one! You expect me to believe that after seeing you dance and get accepted into the most expensive dance school in the country? You're funny." he laughs but neither Jungkook nor I laugh.

"Wait, you're serious?" He asks.

"Yeah. I haven't even given thought to dancing as a career. Not since I was little" I say.

"Why not? Did something happen?" He asks.

"I'd rather not talk about that." I say and Jungkook rests a hand on my shoulder.

"So then why did you audition if you don't see a future career in dancing?" Jimin asks.

"Well this guy kept trying to get me to audition." I say as I throw my thumb in Hoseok's direction.

"Then Jungkook made me go." I say and Jimin's mouth makes an O shape.

"Wahhh! Amazing. Well now that you're accepted into the school are you going to take this seriously?" He asks and I bite my lip.

"Of course she will." Jungkook says and from the corner of my eye I see Hoseok staring at me with an intensive look that I didn't understand.

"Well we're glad to have someone as talented as you there!" Jimin says with a friendly smile.

"Thank you." I say then look out the window and become lost in thought.

Tomorrow I'd really be joining the best dance school in the country.

The only bad part is how could I do this when dancing was something I loved yet was something that hurt me.

Not physically but emotionally.

I never thought I'd be dancing again after my parents died yet here I am.

My parents would be so proud of me so why is it that I don't feel happy?
-
"We'll see you tomorrow!" Jimin calls out as he and Hoseok seperate ways from us.

"Come on, I'll walk you home." Jungkook says and I nod and grab my bag before following him in the direction of my apartment.

"I know this is all very overwhelming but I'm proud of you Y/n and I know your parents would be too." Jungkook says as we walk.

"I'll be by your side to support you till the end." he then says and I glance over at him and smile a little bit.

"Thank you Jungkook. This really means a lot to me. Thank you for coming with me today and for always being right here when I need you." I say.

"What are best friends for." he says and I nudge him a bit before looping my arm with his.

If anything was ever going to make me feel happier it would definitely be Jungkook.

He always knew just what to say to make me feel better.

He really was an amazing friend.

When we get to my apartment he smiles and speaks.

"Text me tomorrow and let me know how your first day went."

"Yeah yeah." I say and he smiles and waves goodbye before walking away from my apartment.

I let out a breath and head inside.

I instantly go to my bed and plop down face first.

I was exhausted and overwhelmed from today and I needed a good night's rest.

I need to mentally prepare myself for what was to come tomorrow.

I didn't think I was ready to dance again but another part of me was telling me I was.

I was born to dance.

Dance was all I had ever known.

Even when I was trying to get into the animation business I'd still always ask myself why I gave up on my dream to be a dancer.

This dream wasn't just mine.

My parents were dancers and they wanted me to become a dancer too but when I lost them I just couldn't.

It was too hard for me.

I love dancing so much but it also hurts me so badly.

Now here I am about to go to a dance school tomorrow for as long as I can actually keep this going.

I let out a breath and turn over.

I will do this, for my parents.

A/n: Since I wrote this story such a long time ago it really shows me how much I've improved. I find all the mistakes I had made and while editing this I fix it to what I know now. I really have come far and I'm so proud of myself. ((':
