Ballerina | JISUNG

Chapter 19

"Hyung, I don't understand this." Jisung whined as he passed Renjun his notebook. The elder boy shot him a look.

"I hate that you only call me hyung for favours." Renjun mumbled as he took the notebook from Jisung's hands, looking at the questions.

Renjun sighed before proceeding to explain the solution.

Jisung was in NSA's library with Renjun, who basically lived there. When Renjun wasn't painting, he was either studying or going out with some of the other juniors in their friend group. This made Renjun the perfect tutor for Jisung.

"Aren't you focusing too much time on school, though?" Renjun asked him. "You've been in the library with me for the past two weeks, what about your duet?"

"Well," Jisung said, looking away. "We're just choreographing on our own and then learning it by ourselves."

"That doesn't sound like a duet." Jisung heard Renjun mumble before adding, "but what do I know, I'm a visual art major."

Jisung couldn't help but agree with Renjun's words.

Maybe we can rehearse tomorrow.

Jisung slid his phone out of his pocket, typing up a quick text to ask Dahye if she wanted to rehearse tomorrow.

"Ugh." Jisung looked up at the sound of Renjun's groan to see his eyes on a table on the side of the library. "Why does she have to be in here?"

Jisung couldn't help but smile as he realized that Renjun was referring to his younger sister and his friends. His smile soon faded once he saw Dahye.

The girl was leaning close to Byungho, a huge grin on her face. It seemed as though the two of them were looking at the same notebook, as if they were working together.

Maybe she's too busy with Byungho, Jisung thought as he quickly erased his text.

Jisung turned back to his notes, going over the question Renjun had helped him with.

But the poor boy could barely focus, especially while knowing Dahye was sitting across the room with another male breathing down her neck.

...

"Wow, how did we finish this so fast?" Dahye asked the male beside her. Byungho chuckled.

"You're a fast worker." Byungho told her. "And we make a good team."

Dahye couldn't help but smile at the compliment. The moment was soon ruined by Hyunjae's groan, reminding the two that they weren't alone.

"What is it this time?" Renxiang asked, looking up from her notebook.

"Jihoon just reminded up that we have a costume check at the end of this week." Hyunjae said, putting down his phone before meeting Dahye's eyes. "Did you forget about it too?"

Dahye nodded her head, pulling her own phone out. "Yeah, and Jisung probably did too. Let me remind him."

"If you need help, just let me know." Byungho told her. "Always down for a shopping trip."

Dahye gave the boy a smile as she finished texting Jisung.

"Thanks Byungho, I'll probably take you up on that offer."

...

"Ugh this is so early." Donghyuck groaned once he parked his car in the school parking lot.

"You could have made me bus." Dahye mumbled but Donghyuck simply shot his sister a look.

"Keep talking and next time I will."

Dahye smirked as she got out of the car, sticking her tongue out. Donghyuck rolled his eyes, shoving his hands in the pockets of his blazer as he walked with his sister to the entrance of NSA.
