——🥀🥀🥀——Tae rubbed his toes with tooth numbing gel, just so he didn't have to feel the aching pain. He had done this many times, so dancing on numb toes was natural now.
Him and James were about to practice their pas de deux. They started goin over the steps, adjusting minor details they missed in the rehearsal.
Once act 1 was over Tae and James started getting ready. Doing last minute touch ups to their make up and outfits.
Tae felt his stomach churn with anxiety as he waited next to the big red curtain, knowing Jungkook would be sitting in the audience.
"What's wrong? You look terrified." James patted Tae's back catching his attention.
"Just a lil nervous," Tae chuckled.
"Let your feet guide you and your heart will follow." James smiled, "you'll be fine Tae, you're one of the best Ballerinas in the industry right now." Tae nodded, letting the words soak into his tan skin.
"Thank you." Tae breathed out, looking up at his dance partner with a small smile.
Then the lights cut, the ballerinas ran off stage, clapping echoing throughout the auditorium. James ran on stage, placing himself in his starting position until the lights came up. James gracefully wandered around stage, looking lost.
Tae slowly tip toed on stage, his feet memorizing the dance. James turned towards Tae, slowly making their way towards each other. Until Tae changed directions, taking a larger step away from him while his arms waved through the air like a swan.
Jungkook was sitting in the audience, suit and tie still on, as he came straight from work. He watched Tae make his way on stage, sucking in air almost audibly.
He looked so beautiful, his all white outfit twinkling with rhinestones. He moved gracefully on stage, catching everyones attention.
As they started dancing Jungkook felt a little awkward watching Tae get man handled with another man. But he soon let it go, wanting to focus fully on how ethereal Tae looked.
As the dance ended, clapping roared throughout the place, louder than ever before. Jungkook felt himself let out a breath he was holding. His heart was beating fast and he felt butterflies in his stomach.
The only other time he felt this way was the last time he saw Taehyung dance.
