Chapter 7
[Tanime’s POV]
The next day
After the pole was delivered I went to school. Hoon decided to focus on his career so he won’t be coming to school anymore. Which means that I have no one to talk to at school.
“Pff”, I bury my head in my hands.
“Alright, everyone. I want you to pair up and prepare a presentation.” the teacher said. I looked up.
“I want you to hold a presentation about any given subject in Korean. Pretend that your audience will be middle aged people. So please pay special attention to your speech level.”
A presentation about any given subject. Hmm that sounds interesting, I thought to myself.
“Each person has to speak for at least 25 minutes.”
Wait… WHAT?! Is he insane?
“I know it will be difficult so I will give you 5 weeks to prepare. Please make your own pairs. That’s it for now.”
I let out a big sigh and look at my table. I have to find someone to pair up with. Suddenly I feel someone tapping my shoulder. I turn my head to see who it is.
“Hey, do you want to be my partner?”
It was one of my girl classmates. But I didn’t know her name.
“Yeah, sure.” I said with a smile. “I’m sorry for not knowing this, but what is your name?”
“My name is Ravana.” she answered.
“Ah okay. My name is Tanime.” I said. “What do you want to do for the presentation?”
“Well, since we are both foreigners let’s tell about our countries and then describe the differences and similarities.”
“Ah that sounds nice.” I said. “Let’s exchange phone numbers”. I took out my phone and saved her number. Then I saw that it was already 1PM.
“Ah shit, I have to go. Ravana, I will text you later about our presentation okay!” I said while running out of the classroom.
I arrived at the Big Hit building out of breath. I enter the building and walk straight to the dance studio. Hoon was already warming up. When he saw me he smiled and stopped.
“Hey, you’re here! How was school?” he asked.
“School was alright. I have to pre-” Sue teacher cut me off.
“Okay, guys. For today we will dance to EXO’s Growl. Let’s start quickly”
For the next five hours Sue teacher taught us the whole choreography and let us dance to it multiple time. It was really tiring.
“Pff Hoon. I don’t think I can stand anymore. My knees are dead.” I said while sitting against the wall completely exhausted.
“When you’ve managed to stand up, please help your friend to get up” He replied while lying on the ground. I never thought dancing could be so exhausting. I managed to get up and helped Hoon.
“Let’s go”
At home I immediately threw myself on the bed after I had showered. I fell asleep and woke up at 12AM. After failing to fall asleep again I decided to get up. What shall I do? I thought to myself. As I walked to the living room my eyes fell on the pole. “Hihi” I giggled, “Let’s try this baby out.” After I did a couple of spins I stopped. I didn’t warm up. I grabbed my phone to put on some music. Maybe the neighbours will hear, I suddenly realised. I was so bored I decided to go to Big Hit to practice on my ‘No More Dream’ choreo. Luckily there’s always someone in the building.
There was only one dance studio open, but I was the only one there so it didn’t really matter. I didn’t really thought about the choreo yet so I decided to just freestyle to it. After dancing to it two times I stopped the music. I want to have a good evaluation so the choreo has to be good.
I took out my phone to watch the music video. Woahh, was this their debut song? I thought. They are so good. Then ab guy, I mean Jimin’s part came up. I love that part. Wait, didn’t Sue teacher said we could use parts of their choreo? then I smiled.
Alright, let’s do this. I walked to the stereo. Hmm, this time let’s try to combine fierceness and agility. The music started to play. I started with some hip hop moves. In the second verse I started to add some agility.
‘See me see me ya neon wiseonjaya’ I did a pirouette and then swung from left to right.
‘La la la la la’ Oh, this is Jimin’s part. I pull up my shirt to show my belly while I spin around. This is so much fun. I can’t help but giggle a little.
‘La la la la la’ The last one. I pull up my shirt again and spin in the other direction. Suddenly my heart skipped a beat as my eyes met with two eyes staring through the window.
"Jimin!?"
