Jimin's Head Injury

Jimin's POV -

"Five, six, seven, eight!"

Hoseok calls out the rhythm, watching us all with sharp eyes. The dancing instructor left a few hours ago, but, since this is a new dance we're learning, none of us are ready to leave until all of us have some grasp of it. Like usual, Hoseok and I picked it up straight away, and Jungkook is not far behind. Since Hoseok likes to teach, he's taken the role to teach the others. I follow the dance, to get myself perfect. At the dance break, I climb up onto Jungkook's shoulders, and flip. Despite it only being the first day, we've learnt each other's steps, learnt our strengths, and recognised the exact millisecond where I push off him and turn, landing perfectly each time. We've kept the mat on the floor just in case, but, I've only fallen once, and that was the first time we tried it.

We all know it's a risky move. Right now, I'm alert, and ready to learn, but there will be times where I'm tired, and my body will be sore and worn out, especially on stage, so I need to get it right now, and get it in my muscle memory, so accidents won't happen on stage.

Hoseok finally stops the music, letting us take a break. I stay by the mat, turning my hips, trying to figure out the best way to land to prevent any accidents. Jungkook pats my arm, out of breath, trying to get me to go over to our bags, but I ignore him, starting to turn somersaults on my hands to keep my strength up.

"Come on, Jimin. Let's go," Hoseok calls, taking my arm and forcing me to stop. "You'll wear yourself out faster if you keep doing that."

I finally go and sit with the others, taking long sips of water, feeling the sweat drip down my back. I start to feel just how breathless I am, and there's definitely a blister forming on my heel. I push my fringe off my sticky forehead, stretching my legs so they won't stiffen.

"Is the somersault too much for you?" Namjoon asks, using a towel to wipe his face. The Dionysus tumbling caused a lot of accidents as it was, and this is much more extreme. This is your chance now to tell us if you have any doubts about it."

I shake my head no, then look at Jungkook, who also shakes his head. "It's not too hard. It feels the same as the one in No More Dream. If Jungkook is sure he can do it, then I'll be just fine."

Jungkook nods. "Jimin weighs nothing. It's not a big deal to me at all. Even if I were tired, it scares me so much that I wouldn't let myself slip up."

"Remember when you landed on my face?" Hoseok asks.

"That was one time, and that's because you put me off!"

"Yeah, well, don't get too far ahead of yourself. If you slip up just once, you could get really seriously injured. It's a good seven foot drop once you spring off Jungkook's shoulder."

I huff a little. "Please. I've been doing flips since I was a little kid. It's the biggest part of contemporary dance. I could do it with my eyes shut."

"Don't get upset! I just don't want you to get hurt. It's a risky move, and you know it. It's not just yourself you have to rely on, it's Jungkook too. If either of you miss a step, even by a millisecond, you will get hurt."

Jungkook frowns. "I told you, I can do it. If we have a concert, and I feel that I can't do it, then I'll say something. I'd never let Jimin get hurt. I know my own limits, hyung."

Hoseok hums softly. "Alright ... As long as you two are confident that you can pull it off. But we'll make up an alternative part, right? So that, if, for some reason, one of you can't do it, then we have a plan to fall back on."

We spend the next few hours just focusing on the dance break. We try all sorts of different things. We make a new alternative just in case, where Jungkook kneels down and I jump over him - toddler stuff - then go back to the flip. We try it where everyone is more space apart, so that we have to run faster, and get into formation faster, so that the flip is done right as the bass changes. We try another where we're all much closer together, so I can practice not accidentally knocking into someone. We even try one with Jungkook kneeling on the floor, just so that we can make sure I can get the ground clearance I need if my weight is ever too much for Jungkook. I start to feel cocky with confidence.
