Crooked

Chapter 4

*Listen to Love Scenario by Ikon while reading this chapter*

I wake up the next morning in a mood. A mood where I really don't want to talk to anyone. My best friends can't even help me with this one. After yesterday, being told to go practice after falling down once really hit my nerves. I decided last night that I am going to practice all day today by myself and the boys can practice on their own.

I get up out of bed and change into a pair of shorts and a simple t-shirt to wear to practice in. I brush my teeth and pull my hair into a ponytail. As I walk around my room, my hip throbs softly. I look down and can see bruises forming. I walk out of my room and into our small kitchen. I don't see anyone up yet, until I hear the floor behind me squeak.

"What are you doing up this early and where are you going?" I hear Yoongi ask. I turn around.

"I'm going to Bighit to practice.. All day." I tell him, trying to not sound annoyed.

"You're not practicing with us?"

"No, someone wants me to practice so I don't fall." I growl softly. Yoongi frowns.

"Tabby.. You don't have to. We know it was just a mistake." He says. I turn back around to make toast.

"I'm going Yoongi. I don't like falling." I grab my toast and walk towards the door.

"Tabby.. Wait." I open the door and walk out. I take a cab to Bighit. I sit in the back trying to calm myself down. I feel really bad for everything I said to Yoongi. He didn't need to be at the other end of my mood. The cab comes to a stop, bringing me back to what I'm doing today. I thank the cab driver and pay him. I get out and walk into Bighit.

I walk down the main hall and come to a practice room that is empty. I walk in and set my phone on the speakers. I'm going to practice as many songs as I can. I do want to practice some new ones too while I'm here.

I start the music and begin dancing to DNA first. All of it goes smoothly until I get to the same spot and my foot slips, causing me to fall on my already bruised hip. I groan and stand back up, getting back into the song. I finish the song and go onto Blood Sweat and Tears. Again something happens and my foot slips. I slowly get back up and keep going.

"What is wrong with me?" I ask myself. I never fall when we practice or are performing.

I practice more songs and at least one time in each I fall on my hip. I am becoming more and more frustrated with myself. I start on a new song, Airplane Part 2. I think I'm doing well with this song until my knee gives and I'm on the floor again. I roll into my back.

"WHY?!?!" I yell. Frustrated tears slowly roll down my cheeks. The practice room door opens and I look over. Jiyong walks in and looks at me on the floor.

"What are you doing here?" I ask him. He smiles.

"I remember you said you were coming back here. Plus I heard you yell." He tells me. I sigh. Jiyong looks around the room, then back at me on the floor.

"What are you doing down there?" He asks.

"I can't seem to dance anymore." I say softly and wipe my tears away. I slowly stand up. I wince when I put pressure on my foot. Jiyong looks down at my hip.

"You won't be able to dance if you keep hurting yourself."

"I have to keep practicing." He looks back up at me.

"Let me help you. I've seen you guys practice. I know what to do." He offers. I look at him suspiciously, then I sigh.

"Fine. I could use someone to dance with." I tell him. Jiyong comes to stand beside me. The next song comes on and we both dance to it in sync. This song goes perfectly. As it ends I smile to myself.
