It was a typical busy Monday morning for Tae. He got out of the cold empty bed and walked the luxurious walk-in closet.
He then threw on an oversized t-shirt that reached mid thigh then a pair of blue jeans; folded at the bottom. He slipped on a pair of white converse before going to pack his dance bag.
He made sure everything was in there before putting his bangs into a tiny ponytail and slipping through the front door.
As he walked the busy streets of New York, he checked the time on his phone. It was 8:30 and he had class at 10:30, meaning he could grab a quick cup of coffee and breakfast.
Once he arrived at New York City's ballet, he walked inside, chewing on his breakfast sandwich. He was one of the few young principal dancers, so everyone knew him, either from dancing with him or hearing about him.
He walked inside he changing room and placed his bag on the ground. He looked through a cabinet, containing his many pairs of leotards and tights. He slipped on a tan leotard with light pink tights. He put on a pain of black dance shorts and his slip on sandals he kept in his room.
Before going to his morning class he walked to a bored filled with everyone's schedule. He noted down his schedule for the day. Class from 10:30 to 12, rehearsals for swan lake and sleeping beauty until 7.
He went to morning class, most people would call it warm up because of the repetition. Tae walked inside the dance studio and set down his bag next to a couple of bags on the side.
He took out his regular ballet shoes and slipped them on quickly. about 5 minutes later everyone was on the bars, doing the basics.
Ya know, first position, second position, third position, and so on. After, all the girls (and Tae) put on their pointe shoes. They then started doing across the floor routines.
The ballet master showed them a couple counts before having everyone on the class go through it in groups at least twice.
Some struggled a bit, while others like Tae, were dancing beautifully in sync with the music and other dancers.
Once class was over Tae felt warmed up for his pas de deux(a two person dance) in Sawn Lake. Tae was playing as Princess Odette, also known as the White Swan.
He went to another studio after, squirting water in his mouth as he walked through the big doors.
His partner, James who was playing Prince Siegfried, was getting his shoes on as Tae set his bag on the ground.
"Hey Taehyung!" James greeted as he spotted him breaking in his new pair of pointe shoes. Tae liked to have a new pair of pointe shoes for every two days of rehearsal. Meaning he had about three or four pairs a week.
"Hi James, how was your weekend?" Tae questioned while quickly sowing his straps and sliding his foot inside, not forgetting to cover his toes in tape and a no show sock.
He looked through his bag and pulled out the practice skirt he wore, most dancers did this to get used to the feeling of dancing with the skirt they will have for the performance.
Tae slid on his light blue classic tutu, it rested on his hips, going straight out from there, making him look pose worthy at any angle.
"Ah, it was good. I rested all day on Sunday." James laughed as he stood up, cracking his ankles with a simple slow flick of the foot.
"Sounds calming." Tae smiled while standing up, going into first position and lifting himself on his pointe shoes.
Then the door burst open, and in walked their master dancer that was going to teach them how to dance this specific act.
"Sorry I'm late!" She chuckled light heartedly, setting down her items with her old frail hands.
"Seems like you guys are ready?" She asked, Tae and James nodded in response. "Let's run through what you know then,"
She started the music as Tae and James ran off what they named as the stage. James went on the so called "stage" first, walking out and going to every corner. Soon Tae slowly tip toed onto stage, arms gracefully above his head.
James ran to Tae, as he dodged him smoothly, arms moving in the air representing a beautiful swan.
The master dancer watched as they moved in sync, looking lovely together. She noticed the smile on Tae's face. He was good at making his smile believable, but today it seemed so much brighter, like he wasn't just thinking about the dance, but something or someone that makes him happy.
