Sungji loved ballet. She hated the outfits 50% of the time but she got over it. One frightful day though, the studio caught fire during her lesson. Thankfully, no one got hurt. Sadly no one wanted to attend the school after the fire due to worrisome parents. The studio closed down and there were no ballet classes that were as cheap as the one before. Her parents didn’t want her to give up dancing and pushed her to do other dance classes. Sungji was dropped off every day at her new studio but she never really went inside the studio. She usually walked around town, which of course wasn’t so safe. One day when walking around, she heard music and followed it. Sungji was soon presented with a group of two girls and four boys; all around her age and older. Sungji was only 12 at the time. These guys were break dancing but some were doing other types of dances and tried to incorporate those moves with break dancing. She was intrigued by them. After a week of watching from the distance, she decided to talk to them. Sungji thought they were going to be rude but when she told them about what she wanted to do, they gave her a chance. One of the boys decided to challenge her to see what she has. Sungji was rather scared of the boy because he was doing all these cool moves and was dancing so fluidly. Once it was her turn, Sungji used any moves that she saw the guy do and incorporated her ballet moves. They were impressed and she was with herself. She talked with them and they offered her to join their dance team. They explained that they were competitive and every two weeks there was a competition. Sungji said she would ask her parents but they told her that if she did, they would say no to her. They were to meet every day behind that studio to practice. Sungji agreed to join them. The name of the dance team was known as Blackout; at the time, they only consisted of seven people, including Sungji. Her parents always figured that she was out late due to her practicing after hours. They never knew it was because she was competing. Sungha was the only one that knew about her being in blackout because he caught her putting on black makeup on. He was concerned and stopped her from leaving. She told him everything but she made him swear that he wouldn’t tell their parents. This went on for five years. Her parents never found out.

Both were proud parents but couldn’t help to wonder if not being happy with each other was worth it. Hard to understand but Mr. and Mrs. Jung weren’t exactly very trusting of each other. Neither thought the other was faithful. They’ve had this trust issue since the beginning. It wasn’t getting any better so nothing could make the other believe that he/she wouldn’t cheat. This all dated back to when they first started dating. He once was caught cheating on her with another girl. It put a strain on the relationship but made sure the kids didn’t know they were having this trouble. Sungji always had her suspicions about the two staying together forever so she just figured it would happen until both were out of school.

Sungji knew about this strain because she had heard her mother talk on the phone for hours to someone who wasn’t her father. She was beginning to grow suspicious but her mom only denied it and made up excuses. She wanted to tell her father but she knew that it would only make things worse and she’d be the one to blame for all the mess to come.

Sungji was in her junior year of high school and Sungha was in middle school. Sungji got a scholarship to NYU. She told her parents that she wanted to go but she really wanted to stay with Blackout. She talked it over with them and said it really wouldn’t matter because she was in for good. Sungji never really knew this but apparently, once you’re in Blackout, you’re in for life. No matter how much you want to leave, you’ll always be in Blackout. Sungji knew that no matter how much she wanted to pursue her dreams, Blackout was her dream. She made new friends, enemies as well but it seemed to be her lifestyle. Competing was really her life.

Sungha was the star pupil in school and just started making his covers on the guitar. Parents couldn’t be more proud of their children. But what about their happiness as acouple. This was once again haunting them. Constant fights and days would go by without them even talking. What was next after Sungji left? What about Sungha? What impact would this have on him? All these questions were soon to be answered with one simple action. Abandonment. Yes, abandonment. They both decided to leave because both couldn't handle it anymore. They could handle each other, their kids were in their minds when thinking about this but knew that Sungji would take good care of Sungha. They figured that they would manage without them. Both just needed a break from their own lives. This little 'break' of theirs has been three years and no contact. They both left a letter saying that they would come back soon and not to report to the police because they had nothing to worry about and that they were just taking a break.

Not even a 'We love you' was on the note which made Sungji hate them forever. She was the last of the two to find out because Sungha had a half day. He came home and saw the note. All he did was cry. Nothing seemed to make him stop. Unlike Sungha, SungJi didn't say anything. She shut down. She was to blame, as she thought. She didn't say anything to anyone for days. The apartment was silent for months, SungJi pushed everyone away after this. the crew members wanted to help her but she just kept pushing them away. She once spent a whole day in the old dance studio just practicing. She and Sungha were alone. No one to really guide them....or provide a roof over their heads. The apartment ended up going into foreclosure and so they moved in with one of the Blackout members.SungJi and Sungha's relationship was also strained after the abandonment. Sungha thought that they would comeback and kept his hopes up about it while SungJi constantly told him that it would never happen. Both faught constantly afterwards but both loved each other. Sungha just had a different look on the future while Sungji did as well but a more depressing one. 

Sungji grew to hate her parents after a year passed and things didn't really get any better. Graduation. Her parents weren't there. Only Sungha. He cheered for her when her name was called. Since the abandonment, both have grown closer and have gone through so much. Each support one another. SungJi's social life though isn't the same. She doesn't trust people easily and is always pushing others away. Her crew members understand what she's been through and don't bother her about it....well some don't while others can be a little careless about it.

Okay, sorry if it's a little confusing but do you guys somewhat understand what I mean when I ask for you to explain about how you discovered and got into blackout? If not well then PM me and I can help you! Thanks guys and sorry if I've sounded mean or strict about this but any authors of apply fics can somewhat relate, right? Anyway, get back to your applications and make sure you understand and fix anything after reading this! :) good luck!
