Nine Kids Room

The Deciding Match Pt. 2

Wherein Hyunjin and Jisung just can't seem to get along. 

Here's Pt. 2 from the perspective of Jisung (and a little Chan thrown in at the end to wrap things up nicely)! All warnings from Pt. 1 still apply here (mentions of spanking, lots of cussing). 

Enjoy~! ^^

"Focus more on your dance!"

"Focus more on your rap!"

"That's enough!"

Jisung turned so fast he felt a twinge in his neck. Their choreographer did not sound happy. Oops.

"All of you, front and centre. Line up."

Jisung allowed himself to be pulled further down the line away from Hyunjin. He was now stood between Woojin and Changbin, who were both giving him weird looks.

"Stop fighting and get your act together," the teacher scolded. "Your chemistry is all wrong and it's bleeding into your dance. You're in a competitive field, you can't afford to let petty fights and differences affect you like that."

Yikes. Okay, that was pretty true. But this wasn't his fault.

"You all need to get everything off your chests. One at a time, you're going to step out and if you have any grievances, bring them up now so we can get back to the dance and you can stop wasting my time and your own."

     "I'll start," Chan said, like the leader he was. "I think that as a team we need to be more patient with each other- myself included. We are all going through hard times, and I think we all need to remember that everyone around us has troubles too. And I think we all need to remember that we're on the same team."

     He stepped back in line, and Hyunjin stepped out. "I'm sorry everyone for interrupting dance practice and for letting my emotions get the best of me. Jisung, I'm sorry I fought with you. I will try to be better about not taking my frustration out on you. Please be patient with me," he said, looking down and fidgeting with his fingers. He stepped back in line and looked hesitantly up at Chan, who smiled encouragingly in return. Why was Chan smiling at Hyunjin? This was Hyunjin's fault!

"Jisung, you next," The dance teacher ordered. He stepped forward sullenly. If they thought he was going to apologize when Hyunjin had started the fight, they were crazy.

     "There's one member in our group that really gets on my nerves," he started. "I wish he would stop thinking he knows better than me and telling me what to do all the time. That member should mind his own business and see his own faults before he looks at the ones he thinks are mine."He stepped back in line, feeling a smug sense satisfaction, only to have it quashed seconds later as Hyunjin ran from the room.

"Han Jisung!" The eldest scolded beside him, and it mixed with Chan's concerned calls in the direction of Hyunjin's retreating form. "What was that?!"

"Jisung, that was really rude," Chan joined in the scolding. "Hyunjin didn't deserve that."

Jisung looked up nervously, and winced when he caught the choreographer's disapproving gaze.

"Go apologize," she ordered. "You're not welcome back in practice until you've made things right with him."

     He nodded and shuffled out the door. He didn't know where Hyunjin was, exactly, but he figured the bathroom was as good a place to start his search as any. He was right. 

"Hey," he said, leaning against the door in a way he hoped appeared nonchalant.

"Piss off."

"I would if I could but choreographer-nim made me come and see you."
