"Breakfast?" 

 

"Tae how could you not wake me up?!" 

 

 

7: 23 says his clock on his bedside table. 

 

 

Monday morning came and so is the responsibility of going to university early for early practices and other stuff to carefully mind with. Yet Jimin started his week waking up late. He just happened to have some strange dream that he managed to wake himself up, rather from Taehyung's early blaring kiddy songs on his Bluetooth speakers while singing along with it. What a day.  

 

 

This is not right. He reflects. Jimin was known for being married with practice rooms from their university and even when he has time, he two timed too the one they have at their apartment. Jimin vowed to be a known professional among contemporary and ballet dancers in the near future. After all, it's his sole dream, to be a known dancer and choreographer, where his talents can be appreciated by many and will give him credits for what choreography he'd impart with. But if he missed a single practice and be this late, he'll definitely be far from reaching that. Well that's what he'd always punched to remember in his mind. Taehyung constantly telling him otherwise though, saying that he should at least not be so hard with himself and of course, Jimin took them lightly or rather, not even considering on doing such at all.  

 

"You're serine. I was mesmer—" 

 

"Okay okay fine. Just because I didn't ask you to wake me last night doesn't mean you wont especially when you know I have an early practice." 

 

"Whoa whoa whoa dickhead. I kept on wrestling the hell of sleep out of you but you were like so dead that I gave up and just... watch you drool." 

 

Jimin eyes him that only screams, 'What the but whatever' " Anyways, aren't you gonna prepare too? Don't you have class?" 

 

 "My class will be after lunch till 5. And since I got a lot of time I'll fetch Yeontan at vet."  

 

". I'm so jealous on that." 

 

"Don't be. Anyway your eyes Jiminie is puffy like jiggly."  

 

 

Jimin facepalm, he knew this will be the outcome but he needs to be up and must now hurry for practice. "So...lunch?" Taehyung interrupts his friend's inner curses who's speeding up preparing a change of clothes as if doing so will change the fact that he's already late. 

 

"I still might be practicing during that time, Tae." Jimin said, now had decided on what to wear and headed straight to bathroom. He might not or might've been stumbling on his feet by trying his best on finishing his bath as fast as he can.  

 

"Dinner then?" Taehyung ask him again, now balancing plates on his hands. Jimin, upon opening the bathroom door, was welcomed by the smell of bacon and eggs, Tae made them breakfast. Jimin smiles, touched. How sweet. 

 

"Hmm...Yeah, sounds good! I'll call you." He said energetically while drying his hair. He gets a pair of toast from Taehyung's prepared plate of breakfast, munching the one with an egg and holding with his fingers the other loaf with bacon, and opted to go out when he's deemed to be done and ready to go.  

 

"I'll wait for it then. Have fun Jiminie, see you at dinner." Taehyung bid then sprawled back again on Jimin's bed. Phone in hand, searching a number, determined to give someone a call.  

 

"Okay! I'll see you and Yeontan later. Love you two." Jimin replies back from their doorsteps. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Taeminie!" Jimin shouted, running closer to his friend catching up fast since his idiot friend is not that bothered that they're late.  

 

 

8:37—Late, meaning absolute late when you have a scheduled practice quarter to eight. 

 

 

"Hey Chim! Morning." Taemin greated not batting an eyelash from his book. 

 

 Jimin snatched it from him just to shove it back to his chest. "We're late . Move!" He runs, Taemin follows and takes note to ask why Jimin's eyes were puffy like that.  

 

 

Running to the said building, going in, signing up for the attendance and reaching the studio they'll be using is more harder than entering the class itself. At least for Taemin, even tho they're that late. 

 

 

"Follow steps like this and you'll get the hang of it. It's much easier when you do this. You should immerse yourselves with confidence but not too much like those two idiots that came in just now later than my given grace." 

 

"H-hi hyung." Jimin shyly greeted, ashamed enough.  

  

"Good morning hyung!" is Taemin's contradicting tone. Coolly uses his book to salute his mentor. Unbothered.  

 

"What's so good in the morning you two? Come here in front." Youngbae, their instructor and sunbae, directed.  

 

 

Jimin timidly walks behind the overly confident Taemin. They stand straight in front, awaiting for what's next. Jimin expected a great sermon from their sunbae with all these juniors as audiences but was met by a brief introduction of them both from Youngbae instead. "Let me introduce you these students of mine, Lee Taemin and Park Jimin." The two introduced themselves too, just their names, and Youngbae continue the rest. "They're talented and won several awards from in and outside the country. These two along with a friend will be your guide and will going to help you out to choreograph."  

 

 

Students all gasped by that revelation. A long "Woaaahh..." and wows were their pure reactions to it. They're so amazed by what the two guys have come and achieved.  

 

 

Jimin was glad it didn't turned out as what he thought it could be. Along with his hoobaes, he too has the same shocked reaction as them with that introduction but he's mostly curious on who's this 'friend' is. "Don't be so amaze. They're still students just like you. They'll be graduating this year and you guys will be their trainees per se. Both of you will be benefiting onto this. This is their project and you'll gonna learn from them." He points out. "And we'll be judging you all on the final program. So I hope you guys will help each other out." He ended it with some reminders attached. "You guys may continue what we were doing and practice what I taught you. I'll get back to you all. I'll just handle these two first." 

 

"Youngbae hyung who's this friend your talking about?" 

 

"Jiyong hyung?" 

 

"Seungri hyung?"  

 

"No. Those two were busy on their own works. This friend of mine... well I actually met him on LA during my travel as I was invited to judge a competition. There, I learned that he's one of the members that'll be competing to one of the shows around LA too. Not gonna lie they do deserved the winning title. I was late to realized it was him and his team that I'm judging and that we ended up attending the same show." 

 

"Wow...wow. He really must be a great dancer then." Jimin beams. Totally amazed by his hyung's friend.  

 

"He is. The fact that he's the leader of their crew, there's no doubt to that." 

 

"Cool. I wanna meet him soon. I'm so curious." Taemin stated nonchalantly. 

 

"Yah you two don't distract me and tell me why you guys were late?" 

 

"We're that obvious?" 

  

Youngbae gave them a stern look. "Now tell me." 

 

"I was up late because Tae was not successful on waking me up early." 

 

"I'm late because I was waiting for Jimin." 

 

"What?! You assh--" 

 

"Okay enough. Stop starting a bicker fight now." 

 

"You don't believe this idiot hyung, right?" 

 

"As much as I don't believe that Taehyung should be included on your reasons, yes I don't believe him. Now go catch up and do something productive." 

 

 

Jimin unconsciously pouted on that. "Yeah hyung we got it, sorry." Both of them bowed, saying "Sorry hyung." one last time and then move to start stretching. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Jongin says he'll visit us here later so we can grab dinner together." Taemin informs, panting.  

 

"But I made plans wit--" 

  

"He also said he'll be bringing Namjoon along. But if you have plans..." 

 

Jimin took back what he said earlier. Although he's not confidently sure about it he still says, "I mean I can invite Tae over."  

 

"Great. Should I tell it to Jongin ahead?" 

  

"No. I'll call Tae first before you do that." 

 

 Taemin nodded in agreement. He stares at Jimin a bit longer to which the younger senses his curiosity all over the place. "What is it? Ask away." Jimin permitted, opening a bottled water and drinking them straight without a pause.  

 

"What happened? Did you cry overnight?" 

 

 Jimin almost choke from the water he's drinking due to sudden reminder of his Sunday happenings. "I- I... I had a memorable weekend, s-so memorable it made me cry my eyes out." Coughing throughout his reasons.  

 

 How memorable could it be? Taemin thinks. "Anyways invite Taehyungie okay? It would be awesome if he joins, I miss him too." Jimin agrees. They continue their extreme dance practice to perfection after some short minutes of water break.  

 

 

20:00 shots the clock and Youngbae announces the end of their practice.  

 

 

He gave them several remarks and other pointers to look out for. He also reminded everyone to look forward on their next upcoming practices and to enjoy them while doing so, but not to take them too lightly as it may cost them their final grades. He then let Jimin and Taemin speak to everyone in class, to give them encouragements and things to expect on their future encounters.  

 

 

The two stood in front yet again, facing them. Not so timid like this morning but oozing with authority and confidence. Jimin have told them to show the passion they have whenever opportunities just like what they'll be experiencing comes and said that if they do that, "It definitely will pay off. Success will eventually come when you always attached hard work with efforts." He warmly shares them his beautiful smile after. Friendly and approachable. Taemin also shared his thoughts with a brief, "Always look for your goals, your passion and don't lose it." as a serious note.  

 

 

"Don't be late on practices too, don't do what we'd done this morning 'cause we'll never repeat that again. And let's all get along well everyone and enjoy this project together." Jimin ended. 

 

"We're not as easy as what our looks could give away. So on being late? Just don't." was Taemin's final note with a faint smirk on his face yet still there, intimidating, which gave off scary chills to everyone. Silence fills them afterwards.  Jimin just scoffs. 

 

 

Close to crack a cackle, Youngbae claps and everyone slowly follow suit. The two in front then bowed, marking the end of their speech. Youngbae's proud of those two. They'd mature much to his surprise. 

 

 

Everyone made their way out, some were still packing their belongings and some of them had ought to have a quick shower first before heading home. Jongin's been down the lobby, waiting, much earlier to what him and Taemin had planned. Many students were now walking down the lobby. He saw Jimin who's on his phone while Taemin's nowhere to be seen.  

 

 

"Taehyungie..." 

 

"Hey how's the practice?" 

  

"It just ended. We'll be having our own trainees. We'll train them together with another mentor for a project." 

 

"Cool. I know you'll do fine." 

 

"Thanks, Tae. How's your class? How's Yeontannie?" 

 

"Class was good. Tantan and I were good. Were home now, actually. So dinner?" 

 

"Yeah. Tae that..." Jimin cuts off his sentence seeing Jongin approaching him, waving. "Jonggin's with us..." He says eventually.   

  

"Kai? Yah! Me against that guy?!" Jongin could totally hear Taehyung's blaring from Jimin's phone. 

  

"Of course not!" Jimin spat back. Jongin looked defeated, sighing, out of strength to defend himself.  

 

"Then why?" 

 

"He's here to pick us up for a dinner."   

 

"And so? We'll be having one here at home too."  

 

"They invited Namjoon hyung and I'm guessing he'll be bringing Yoongi hyung with him too?" Jongin quirk a brow hearing the name.  

 

"Now its me against Yoongi hyung." 

 

"Tae it's not like that. I called you because I want to invite you too and have a dinner together. With them. They want to see you too, don't you miss them?" 

 

"I do. But I made a surprise for you that's why I asked for this but yeah... I mean.... whatever you're not even sure if Yoongi hyung will be there." 

 

 Jimin felt the need to slap himself. How could I be so selfish thinking Tae would agree on this too just because I told him that I needed Yoongi hyung's help. "I-I..." Of course he'll be mad because I promise him a dinner in the first place. Just the two of us. I'm so bad. "Your right Tae. I'm sorry. Don't worry I'll be home in 30 the least. I missed you and Tannie anyway." 

  

"Jiminie... I'm sorry. I know you just wanted to grab this opportunity to ask for his help yet I snapped." Taehyung recollected too.  

  

"Hey Tae don't be sorry, I'm the one who's in wrong here. And besides I'll be getting a surprise from you." He cheekily said to bring his friend some assurance that he's fine and he's all right. "Although it's kinda random and rare but why should I complain?" Jimin said to cheer his soulmate up. But when he heard nothing, even a grimace, he worriedly ask him, "Is everything alright Taehyungie? Are you guys alright?" 

 

"Y-yeah yeah. I was just... just come back home fast after okay?" Taehyung's tone was back to its normal nagging one. 

 

"So you're not be joining us?" Jimin urging for some confirmation, eyes on Jongin as if he's the one he's asking. Jongin's look can't be painted due to so much sadness he's giving upon knowing Taehyung wouldn't make it. Long sigh is all he could just do. He badly wants to see him. Actually it was the sole reason
