Dancing On Thin Ice // KTH

Chapter 49

(WOW we're almost at 3K guys!! Thank you so much for your love and nonstop support!! P.s. Austin, this one's for you bro♡♡ -Roo)

That couldn't be him... could it?

The young red headed man did look a little different than Jackson, like maybe older or something, but Carmela just stared in shock at his slightly bearded face. He shook Namjoon's and Roxana's hands and the girl beside him did the same.

Carmela felt someone nudge her in the arm and turned to see Tae scowling down at her.

"What're you gawking at?" He grumbled in a whisper.

"Nothing. Tae, doesn't he seem familiar to you?" Carmela replied, crossing her arms.

"That instructor? Nah, why?" Tae replied.

"But you met--" Right, but he was seriously drunk that night. "Nevermind." Carmela finished with a sigh.

"Kay then. Better not be one of your exes or something." Tae narrowed his eyes at the smiling man who was now hugging Jimin.

Then he and the girl turned to Tae and Carmela whispering in the back.

"Hey, why're you two hiding back there? We don't bite!" The girl grinned widely and shuffled towards them. She flicked her slick black hair away from her face.

"Oh, sorry!" Carmela laughed quickly shaking the girl's hand. "My name's Carmela Lee. I'm one of the choreographers. This is Taehyung; he's a member of TSB."

"Hey." Tae gave a small smile and shook the instructor's hand too.

"Nice to meet you! I'm Zaraa, and this guy here--" Zaraa gestured for the man to come forward and Carmela's stomach twisted.

"-- is AJ."

HUH? AJ? Wait what, hold up--

"WHAZZUP? Excited to start?" AJ grinned, holding a hand out in front of her and Tae.

"Hahaha, yeah!" Carmela sighed in relief, and shook AJ's hand. Tae didn't; he just coughed into his elbow loudly, so AJ put his hand down.

"Alright, come on, everyone! Follow me to the stage back there." Zaraa signalled everyone and she and AJ led them to the back of the room.

"This is gonna be fun!" JK squealed to Jimin as they all stood together on the wooden floor.

AJ and Zaraa stepped up onto the stage.

"So, we're here today to give you some tips on how to improve your performance skills. I believe you guys have never done an actual concert performance right?" Zaraa spoke, and Namjoon and Roxana nodded.

"That's even better actually, because we can start fresh. So the first thing that you wanna keep in mind is, stay at least 3 feet away from the edge of the stage when you're dancing." Zaraa spoke.

"If you have chicken legs like me, you can easily wobble off and fall!" AJ said and soft giggles erupted through the room.

The two instructors explained various tips to them and Carmela intently listened.

She glanced over at Tae and smirked. He still had an upset look over his face every time AJ would talk. Carmela mentally noted to explain later to Tae about why she was nervous when she saw AJ.

But it was still strange. AJ... he looked almost identical to Jackson. Carmela couldn't wrap her finger around how there was this much of a similarity. Were they related? Didn't hurt to ask.

"Alright, let's do a quick demonstration. I know we haven't taught you anything but that's the point: we wanna see where you guys are at. Any volunteers?" Zaraa said, looking around the room.
