Painful happiness

Jimin's POV

Our classes started next day. I sat with Taetae in arts class. Our interest in art differ. He is interested in pencil sketch and photography whereas i am interested in painting and charcoal art. I love when my hands are covered with paint or charcoal dust. It gives me a feeling that i am creating master pieces. First few classes were filled with self introductions and a theoritical explanation about historcal and modern art.

Taetae being a social butterfly he is made few friends. Ofcourse he introduced me to them. I shyly waved at them and got back to stay silent. Hours passed and it was time for our dance and vocal classes. Taetae and i parted ways to our classes. We had self introductions here as well. Our choreo teacher Mr.Wong looked like a nice man. His smile eased me a bit. We had self introductions again. Cons of being new.

We are not separated by our academic years here. We will have classes for first year separately but we mingle with our seniors on giving performances. It seems our seniors will choose whichever junior they like to have with them. I saw Hobi hyung in a corner practicing. As soon as he saw me he waved at me and flashed his sunshine smile.

Mr.Wong inteoduced few of our seniors who are best in dancing to us. Ofcourse Hobi hyng was included. We also had Taemin Sunbaenim, Lisa Sunbaenim and Chaneyol Sunbaenim. They were all at their final years. Our teacher said every first year student should show others a small piece of their dancing style. My classmates started dancing one by one. I got quite nervous because most of them were good. When my turn came Hobi hyung mouthed a "All the best" with thumbs up sign. My style of dancing is ballet so i played a musical piece of a ballet tune and started to dance. I flowed along with music. My body loosened by the movements. I jumped, spinned and swirled flexing and twisting my body. It was a 3 minute piece of music. I ended my performance by holding one of leg upwards and let it down gracefully with a bow. Clapping sounds pulled me out of my trance. I always get drowned in dance. I just forget about the environment around me. I bowed again and went to sit in my place. Hobi hyung sat next to me and whispered "Minnie you dance like an angel and your movements were like you flow of a leaf in wind" i smiled at him. Rest others performed. I learned that most of my classmates are into hiphop and street dance. I would like to learn them too. Only me and two other girls are in comtemporary dancing.

Mr. Wong dismissed our classes saying we would start our practices from tomorrow. Here we will learn on movement perfection and choreo making. This is going to be good. In future i want to open a ballet school myself and teach kids.

Things with Kookie hyung is still same today. I was a stuttering mess around him. I also noticed Taetae got close with Kookie hyung. Its only a day but knowing Taetae he can make anyone close with him in a hour. No wonder. When all of use catched up before going to our own places, Taetae and Kookie hying seemed to be in deep conversation about their vocal lessons. We had coffee together. Everyone was speaking and i just sat there smiling.

Weeks passed. Its already been a month we came here. I am still shy around people but i started speaking with few of my classmates. Taemin hyung approached me before two weeks asking me to dance with him together on upcoming arts fest. We have been practicing eversince.

Kookie hyung and Taetae seemed to spend more time together. He was helping Taetae with his vocal lessons and photography. Lucky Taetae to share same interest as Kookie hyung. Taetae and is spent less time together. I had my own practice and Taetae had his vocal practice for the song Kookie hyung and him gonna sing together. I am really excited to hear it. He often had sleepovers with Kookie hyung because of their late night practices. He seems to like Kookie hyung because he always speaks high of him.

I am now walking back to dorm from my practice. The event is on day after tomorrow. Tomorrow we are having a rest day to relax ourselves. Taetae texted me that he will stay at Kookie hyungs for last time preparations. I got myself a protein shake on my way back for dinner.
