Dancing in the Rain

Description

"It's not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about dancing in the rain."

Minho and Taecyeon are best friends, and they are both second-year performing arts students at the Korea National University of Arts (KNUA). The two of them are popular and talented and they know their lives are perfect. Then, one day, a freshman dance student arrives at school; Krystal Jung. She catches the eyes of both friends, as well as the school kingka, senior performing arts student, Kim Hyun Joong.  As a result, she earns an enemy: popular performing arts second-year Hyosung. The students' lives become intertwined as love triangles are formed, musicals are planned and troubles approach. 

Foreword

KNUA Campus- 9:30 a.m.

"Hey Minho!" Taecyeon called as he jogged over to his friend, "are you still upset about last night?" Minho turned around quickly. 

"What? No,...of course not.." Minho replied, nonchalantly, "I mean, it's one play that everyone didn't like, but I liked it fine. It doesn't matter to me if they don't like it because I actually thought we all did our best!"

Taecyeon knew his best friend too well to believe him, but he knew he should keep his mouth shut. Last night had been the night to the play that a group of theater and performing arts students had put on: it was a short play and everyone had done their best, but many mistakes had been made and because the story itself wasn't an interesting one, few people enjoyed it. To say it shortly, it was a failure. 

Taecyeon quickly changed the subject to keep his friend from becoming upset again. When Minho got mad, things got broken: cellphones, glasses,..and relationships. 

"Minho~~~" Both guys recognized the shrill, whiny voice. It was Hyosung, Minho's ex-girlfriend. (This relationship too, was something that had been broken due to Minho's eruption of anger). Although her relationship with Minho had ended, she still chased after him and flirted with him. 

"So, Minho, you wanna go to the movies today? When do your classes end? Mine end at around three-ish..." Hyosung walked beside Minho, her face all sweet and innocent. Taecyeon sighed. He had had a minor crush on Hyosung when they were freshmen, now that he knew what she was really like, he knew it was a front she put up for Minho, and he knew she was far smarter (and meaner) than she presented herself to be. 

"Yah, Choi Minho!" Taecyeon shouted, "I'm going to class! Have fun with Hyosung!" He watched Minho turn around, dazed, as if he didn't know what had just happened and why he was with Hyosung. Taec laughed. He knew he would see Minho in a couple of minutes- they had their first class together- dance. He was just about to turn around and head for class when he bumped into someone. He turned. It was Kim Hyun Joong- the biggest 'star' at KNUA. Because he was talented in singing and dancing, (though mostly because he was good-looking) he was crazy popular at KNUA; he flirted with many girls but never actually dated any.

"Oh hey, Taecyeon!" Hyun Joong greeted him warmly, "I came to the show last night! Listen, don't get so discouraged no matter what people say."

Taecyeon smiled, "thanks hyung. You brought my mood up alot." Hyun Joong shrugged. "No problem. I didn't say much. But hey, I have theatre- I'll see you later!" he called as he ran down the hall, leaving girls swooning behind him. When he had gone, a few girls approached Taecyeon as well, but Taecyeon was used to it and knew how to deal. He quickly checked his phone. 9:59!!! 

He ran down the wide hallway at full speed, barely missing the wall as he turned. But as he turned the hallway, he ran full speed into..a girl. They both crashed on the floor. Taecyeon looked up. The girl was holding black running shoes and a sweatsuit, both of which were sprawled out on the  hall. When she looked up, he saw that she had a cut on the left side of her forehead from the crash. He felt his right cheekbone, there was a cut there as well. But the girl was obviously in a rush as she stood up qiuckly. 

"You don't have to apologize, it's okay," she said quickly as she gathered her things, "I'm in a rush, so bye!"

"what?! Aren't you the one who's supposed to be saying sor-" The girl was already off at full-speed, hair flying, skidding down the hallway in socks. 

 

~*~*~*~*~*~

"Why were you so late?" MInho nudged Taecyeon as they laced up their running shoes. 

"i was coming then this girl-" Professor Yeon clapped her hands loudly. 

"Okay, so we have some dance majors with us today to partner up with you! They're only freshmen, but they're good! Learn something from them. Okay so this is Park Eun-mi, Chung Li-ah, Kim-" Someone suddenly burst through the tall glass doors of the studio. Taecyeon's eyes widened in surprise. 

"Sorry I'm late Professor Yeon!" the girl said, cheeks flushed pink, eyes wide and shining. Taecyeon noticed she was very pretty. Instinctively, he looked beside him to Minho. Minho was also looking at the girl, her messy, dark waves, her slender and beautiful figure, her charming smile. In fact, as Taecyeon turned around, everyone in the class was staring at her, awed like Minho, or jealous like Hyosung, friendly like Eunmi, or curious, like him.
