---- [april 13] ----

you sighed tiredly as you plopped down onto the floor, your chest heaving with every deep breath you took. you and your group had been practicing hard lately. seeing as your group was a newly debuted group under bighit entertainment, there were unspoken high expectations. your leader was a great leader. she was always encouraging everyone to do their best and to practice hard. sure, it was challenging and hard on your body, but you knew it was for the best. it was lunchtime, which meant a break for everyone.

your group followed your actions, sitting on the floor while two of the four members found spots on the bench. "ah, i'm so hungry." a member, penny, groaned tiredly.

you nodded, wiping your forehead with the back of your hand. other members all mumbled "me too". you sighed at a sudden feeling, as you sat on the floor. your body was just calming down, but now you had to stand up and use the restroom. "i'll be right back guys."

the members remained silent as you stood up and walked out of the practice room. a bathroom was just down the hall. you slowly made your way there. but your walk was interrupted. a door opened halfway between your practice room and the bathrooms. you stopped just as a blue-haired young man stepped outside, he too breathing heavily. you recognized him as kim taehyung, a member of the infamous group bts. you blushed slightly and immediately bowed out of respect. he turned to you with a wide smile, bowing in return. "oh, hey." he hadn't noticed you standing there.

you smiled, feeling a bit nervous.

"did you just get done with practice?" he asked, walking to you.

you nodded. "you?"

he nodded as well, wiping his forehead with his hand. his blue-raspberry-colored hair was sticking to the perspiration underneath, and was messy. he must of ran his hand through his hair multiple times while dancing hard in order for his hair to look like that.

you knew you would be seeing kim taehyung around, since you were under the same agency and therefore were labelmates. but you still felt nervous around him. you have met all the members before, lots of times as a matter of fact. but never have you been with one alone, without any of the members. taehyung stared at you a bit, as if he was studying your features. you blushed as his eyes were on you, but luckily it wasn't noticeable as your face was already red and hot from dancing all morning. you sighed in order to break the silence between you and taehyung, "well, i was heading to the restrooms."

taehyung's eyes widened slightly. "oh yeah! sorry, go ahead." he gestured down the hall, stepping aside for you. he laughed shyly.

you smiled and bowed once more before hurrying down the hall and fleeing into the bathroom. you released a heavy breath, one that you unknowingly held, as you turned around and locked the door. your heart was beating fast. you shook your head as you recalled the encounter you had just now. "no," you reminded yourself quietly, "you can't. you shouldn't."

you finally used the restroom. after washing your hands, you splashed some water onto your face and the back of your neck. you were finally cooled down and calm again, although your arms and legs felt like large anvils were hanging off of them. you dried your hands on a towel next to you and left the bathroom, making your way down to your practice room.

while walking, you subconsciously slowed your pace. out of curiosity, you peeked into bts' practice room through the windows in the doors. instantly, you spotted the blue-haired man that you conversed with earlier. you sighed and looked away, forcing any thoughts that formed in your head to go away.
