Secrets
The Dancer Next DoorIt was a peaceful afternoon, Christine spends this time being alone in the condo doing of course office work. Hoon left to support one of his students for voice competition. Christine was listening to the radio while doing her work. She puts all of the work that she has done into the suitcase, sits on the couch and enjoys the silent atmosphere. She got really bored since Hoon left. Christine called Aron to see if he is available and maybe take her out on a date but he is in America visiting his family. Well she doesn't really have anything to do so might as well just do something that she hasn't done for a long time.
She changes into her dance outfit that she wore when she was a teenager.
She gets her radio, pops in a CD and starts dancing in the wide space of the living room. She pours all of her feelings that she has been holding dancing within the music from when she graduated from high school to the past 2 months. Peniel was on his way to Christine's condo to drop things off but the door was opened a little . He heard loud music from the condo also. He peeked through the door, he couldn't believe his eyes of what he is seeing. He was seeing Christine dancing hip hop and various styles of dances. Peniel leans closer to the door but he fell over and fell flat on the floor. Christine was startled
"What are you doing here?!" she threw stuff that she can find at Peniel.
"Christine stop! I was here to drop things off until I saw you dancing through the door." Peniel was dodging the objects that Christine throws at him.
"How long have you been watching me?!" Christine shouted.
"For 2 minutes anyways I didn't know you're that good at dancing. When I asked you to be my dance partner, you said you can't dance but actually you can!" Peniel said.
"Shut up!" She was denying what Peniel said.
"How come you didn't tell me this?" Peniel asked.
"It's because I stopped dancing when I graduated from high school."
"What made you stop?"
"Is this 21 questions?" Peniel chuckled.
"Have a seat" They both sat on the couch. Christine takes a deep breath and starts telling him her past.
"As a child, I loved dancing so much that I took dance lessons at a young age. My mom is a voice teacher and my dad is a lawyer. My parents and Hoon's parents are really good friends that Hoon takes voice lessons from my mom every week or so. We've known eachother since we were in diapers. My dad is one of the top lawyers in the country. When I was in high school, I was in a dance crew and I would always compete. My parents are very supportive and that was when I realized that I wanted to become a professional dancer. Until my senior year, my dad suddenly passed away from a car accident. I always looked up to my dad for the work that he has done. I spent 4 weeks grieving over his death but then my mom gave me his will. In the will, it said that he wanted me to follow his path of being a lawyer. I had to make the biggest decision of my life which is either quit dancing and be a lawyer or being a disgrace to my father. I don't want to let my father down and I also wanted to fufill his wishes. So I quit dancing and decided to go to law school to become a lawyer like my father."
Peniel puts his arm around her shoulder. For Peniel, it was the first time that she opened up besides Hoon and Ailee.
"You know what Christine whenever we practice the routines, I want you to show me what you are feeling inside while you dance that way in the competiton the judges will see the passion we put in our routines."
"I don't know Peniel, it's been 3 years and I'm not sure if I am able to pull this through." Peniel puts his hands on each side of Christine's arms and looked her in the eye.
"Christine, you can do it. We have like 3 months to learn our routines. Hoon, Ailee and Aron believe in you. I believe in you. Even though we end up not winning the competition, there is always next year. You are the strongest, young beautiful lady that I ever met" Christine starts tearing up because of what Peniel said to her moved her. Peniel hugs her as thoughts are circling around his head.
This is scary but Ailee is right, I am falling for her and we are meant to be but I don't think she'll fall for me.
