BTS 8th Member Scenarios // [slow updates]

Dancing with Taemin

[the female dancer in the video above is Milo]

--

*circa 2016*

Since you had been choreographing for other idols, you've been able to gain new acquaintances here and there. One of those acquaintances was the one and only LEE TAEMIN!

You first started working with him a few months ago in preparation for his upcoming solo album. You choreographed for his single 'Sayonara Hitori' and from there, a nice friendship was formed.

The cool thing was that his manager contacted your company and requested your assistance. That was a first! You would usually have to contact the artists' company and ask them if they'd be interested in working with you (you did this with Red Velvet & rookie group BlackPink), but to have an artist make the first move? It was a dream come true.

Your group had history with SHINee. You guys had met them countless times at award shows or what-not, and a few of the members even formed close relationships with them. SHINee sunbaes respected you so much. But honestly, you weren't too close to any of them. Until Taemin came along...

During the weeks you spent together choreographing for him, you slowly learned you had a few things in common other than your love for dance. For example, you both learned to play the piano at a young age, you both are influenced by Michael Jackson, you hate bugs, and you enjoy animated movies.

Anyway, as you were preparing for Taemin's album, he offered you another opportunity to dance with him on a TV show. You said yes, and that's when things really took a turn... for the best and the worst. 

When people saw you two together, they instantly shipped your chemistry onstage. As usual, the internet would automatically think you two were dating or something, which was normal in this business. Fans loved to over-examine every little detail: every smile, every touch, every moment of eye contact. 

What shouldn't be normal, however, was the amount of hate and death threats you received just from interacting with a music legend.
