"What's up with you?" Chenle asked as Jisung took his seat beside his best friend in their homeroom class.

"I just saw who my partner is for the dance competition." Jisung told him as he began taking out his books.

"Oh, who is it? I heard Hyunjae the freshman is really good." Chenle asked eagerly.

Jisung nodded his head. "Hyunjae is really good. I wish I got him. I got Dahye."

Chenle's eyes immediately furrowed. "Don't you have a massive crush on her? Why is that a bad thing?"

"First of all, I don't have a crush on her." Jisung clarified as he stuck a finger up. "Second of all, she's an amazing dancer but our styles don't get along. I'm a hip hop dancer, I don't do ballet."

Chenle shrugged. "Mash up?"

Jisung shook his head. "It doesn't really work like that in dance."

Chenle's lips were pressed together in a thin line. It was clear that he was trying to help Jisung come up with a solution. "Can you switch partners?"

"Probably not but I guess it's worth trying." Jisung said with a deep sigh.

...

"I don't know why you're so upset. You're partnered with the best dancer in the school." Renxiang said as they ate their terrible lunch in the cafeteria.

"Yeah but I'm a ballerina. And he does hip hop. And we're under Hoya, the hip hop teacher." Dahye pointed out. "This is just as bad as being with Hyunjae."

"Hey!" Hyunjae exclaimed before everything began registering in his head. "Hmph, I wouldn't want to be put with a ballerina like you anyways."

"See what I mean." Dahye said, glaring at her friends.

"At least Jisung won't drop you." Byungho said, making the two girls of the group chuckle. Hyunjae didn't seem too impressed with the comment.

"I can lift girls! Watch the open house piece, I lift Hyelim for a good amount of time!" Hyunjae argued defensively.

"Okay okay, we get it, you're not weak." Renxiang said, holding her hand up. "But this doesn't solve Dahye's crisis."

"There has to be some mistake." Dahye muttered. "Maybe I'll ask Ms. Kim about it after rehearsal tomorrow."

"Good luck." Byungho simply said to the girl, eyes down at his food the entire time.

...

"Gather around everyone." Ms. Kim called as she brought out a rack of dance costumes. They had just finished the dance, only needing to clean up the details now. "Quick, find the one with your name on it and go try them on."
