It was late afternoon, you had gotten home after practice and decided to take it slow for the rest of the day. You turned on your television ready to turn to your favorite drama but stayed on the channel your television turned on to when you saw a familiar face...Kim Hanbin.
Your eyes were glued to the screen as you sat down feeling a sharp pain in your chest. There he was, your boyfriend Kim Hanbin with a smile on his face as he applied makeup to Lee Seyoung. His eyes looked fixated on hers with their faces only inches apart you thought a love line would be forced by the hostesses.
Dating an idol was hard. Relationships had to be secretive and left room for misunderstandings to happen. Sometimes you felt you would be better off single rather than watching your boyfriend blush as he pretended to be interested in another woman.
Your eyes widened as you passed Hanbin in the halls of the YG building. He was laughing and smiling as he walked with two of your fellow backup dancers.
His eyes met yours in a passing glance but he said nothing.
"Oh Y/N" one of the girls stayed behind to talk to you but you couldn't concentrate on her words. You were deep in thought about the situation you were in. Were you allowed to be jealous? Was this something you should tolerate given that he was technically single to the rest of the world?
"Did you hear me Y/N?"
"What? I'm sorry" you shook your head to get rid of the dazed look on your face. "I didn't get much sleep last night so I zone out every once in a while."
"Will you be okay today? We have a pretty tight schedule."
"We do?" Your brow furrowed in confusion. As you recalled, your schedule was open practice all day.
She nodded, "We have to switch with IKON's backup dancers for today's Inkigayo performance."
"What! Why?"
She shrugged, "they never tell us the reason. It was just us three that got switched." It was just your luck. You were a WInner backup dancer, not an IKON one. Why did you have to be picked for the switch? "We have to go to IKON's practice room immediately so we can know where we stand in the formation. I was looking for you when Hanbin came to tell us that we should get going."
That explained why they were with Hanbin but not why he was avoiding you. "Thanks, it's a good thing I ran into you then."
When you entered IKON's practice room you were surprised to see all eyes on you. "Hello" you greeted with a bow of your head.
You ended up dancing alongside Hanbin which complicated things. Ther were much more opportunities for fights.
"Hanbin you are a step behind. Listen to the beat and make sure your foot reaches the other side at the same time as your right hand."
"I'm not a step behind, you are just doing it too fast."
"I am not." You stopped the music. It was only you two in the practice room. After having practiced with the others you realized there were still some errors on Hanbin's part so you decided to stay behind and help him till he got it right. "I'll show you."
Hanbin crossed his arms and rolled his eyes as you went through the dance once more. He was annoyed, this was the first time he had seen you be so bossy and he didn't like it. Your words, intended to be full of helpful intentions, came across to him as nagging. "You are a step ahead of the beat" he shouted over the music.
"This is the correct timing." Maybe you weren't some famous idol but you were good enough to be one. You didn't sing, rap, or have the best visuals but your dancing skills were above and beyond. His annoyance grew as you kept trying to prove your way was the right way that he blurted something out with the intention of hurting you. "I never had this problem with the other dancer."
