Eunhee’s POV

Dance class; my least favorite subject here at WAA. The reason? Simple, I can’t dance. Well it’s not that I can’t move to the groove at all, it’s just that I’m stiff like a log and it hasn’t been improving that much.

You may’ve been thinking what I’ve been doing this past 2 years not being able to progress at all. Well I’ve been practicing alright, but to tell you the truth I only practice when exams were near or when there’s a class project. Actually, I’m not like this when I first came to WAA, dance class used to be one of the subjects that I liked and it was all because of that particular teacher.

I’ve been introduced to music at a really young age, my mother’s a music teacher at a local school and my father was a well-known composer. But unfortunately he passed away because of brain cancer when I was still in grade school. Even though I was young, I still remember those last words he said to me. He told me that I was a talented girl; that I’m able to play any instruments I lay my hands on and my voice was beautiful. He really wanted to see me become a famous singer one day and that he’ll write songs for me. I held his hand tightly and told him that he will but then he smiled and told me he was sorry. The next thing I knew, he was gone…

From that day on I’ve made up my mind that one day I’ll become a famous composer like my father and maybe a singer too along the way. This dream of mine drove me to apply here at WAA.

During the last stage of the audition, I nearly got rejected because I don’t have any dancing skills at all. But then a teacher stood up for me, she told the other judges that I have potential. She told them to give me a chance and that she’ll take full responsibility of me. Hasn’t she been WAA’s finest dance teacher back then, the other judges surely wouldn’t agree.

She was my most favorite teacher; she really took me under her wings and never gave up on me. I was never late for dance classes and she would always give me extra lessons during the weekend. Whenever I was feeling down, she would encourage and motivate me to get back up again. Little by little I improved. But sadly, it only last for one semester.

One day when I walked into the dance studio, she wasn’t there getting ready for class or doing stretches like she always do. But instead, sitting at her desk was a young man around his late 20s. I walked over to him & asked where Ms. Kim was. He told me that he’s the new dance teacher replacing Ms. Kim who had been sent overseas to become a choreographer for a famous Broadway. Upon hearing the news from him my world suddenly crashed, I was devastated. How could she just leave me and without even saying goodbye…?

From then on, dance class never felt the same. Mr. Lee, our current dance teacher never gave me a slight interest. He doesn’t really care whether I can keep up with each lesson or not. I once asked him if he can give me extra lessons, but without even looking at me he said that he was busy and it wouldn’t be fair for the other students either.

My motivation to improve my dancing skills dropped to zero and I’m back to square one. I used to skip class too whenever I got the chance and spent most of the time in the music room writing songs. I was caught a few times and got punished for it, but it’s still a miracle that I haven’t been kicked out yet. So the least I could do was to improve my grades on the other subjects and try to not fail dancing.

I changed into my sweatshirt and pants and slowly entered the dance studio, it felt like entering a gladiator ring unarmed. I noticed that the studio was still empty so I just made my way to my usual spot which is at the back far corner, and sat down on the wooden floor with my legs crossed. As minutes passed, gradually the room was filled. E-Young & Injoon sat beside me, while Sungyeol and Myungsoo were the last ones to arrive and they took their place near the front.

The class started with the usual warm ups and recap of our last lesson. Then Mr. Lee moved on to the next topic, which was hip hop dancing. I faintly heard him talk about break dancing, crip walking and a bunch of other moves; I wasn’t really listening since my attention was somewhere else.

Myungsoo was listening and watching Mr. Lee with intense eyes, I can really see that he has passion for dancing. I rested my chin on my hand and continued on to gaze at him, his figure and looks were so perfect. Looking back at the duet we did together earlier made me all giddy inside, somehow behind that poker face I’m seeing another side of him. He makes me curious and whenever I’m near him; my heart will beat faster than usual, even right at this moment. Am I falling for him…?

My daydreaming was suddenly cut off when everyone began to stand up and started spreading themselves. I bewilderedly followed; I saw Mr. Lee walked towards the stereo to turn on some music. It seemed that we’ll be practicing some of the dance moves now.

At first I tried to follow the dance steps like what everybody else was doing, but soon enough the steps were getting harder. I couldn’t catch up so I decided to just stand there and watch them dance. E-Young gave me an encouraging look, telling me to keep on dancing but I just shook my head and smiled at her. I admit both E-Young and Injoon were pretty good at dancing, but not as perfect as Myungsoo and Sungyeol who were dancing their heart out with perfect steps and synchronization. I deeply inhaled as I watched them dance, I was fascinatied but at the same time felt envious.

Then Mr. Lee turned the music off and clapped his hands to get the students’ attention.

“Alright class! Before we wrap this up, I’m going to announce your project for this semester.”

Upon hearing about the project most of us groaned.

“Now, now, as you all know this will be your last project and I will evaluate them at the end of year examination. This project is pretty simple, find a partner and do a boy group or girl group dance of your choice. I really hope everyone’ll practice hard and give their best since it’s a fairly simple project, that includes you Eunhee,” Mr. Lee was staring right at me as he explained.

I heard some of my classmates sneered. I solemnly stare at the ground trying to hide the embarrassment.

When class was over and everyone was heading for the door, I looked over at E-Young and Injoon. As if on cue, they looked at me with an ‘I’m sorry’ look and their hands were pointing at each other. Well I guess they’ll be partnering up again this time.

I frowned an sighed in frustration, almost everyone here knows about my lack of talent in dancing… Will I ever find someone who’s willing to become my dance partner…?

Myungsoo’s POV

Dance class was enjoyable like always but I kind of felt sorry for Eunhee, Mr. Lee shouldn’t have embarrassed her in front of the whole class like that. She maybe lacking in dancing skills but she’s musically talented, more than anyone else here at WAA.

I really hope that she was alright, she may look strong on the outside but who knows what’s going on inside that head of hers…

After changing into our uniform, Sungyeol and I immediately set off for acting class, not wanting to be late. Mr. Kang is well known by students for his discipline. I already have detention after class today; I don’t want another one next week.

“Yeollie-ah, whose turn is it this time?” I asked as we walked down the hall.

“Yah, how could you forget? It’s me and Eunnhee… Hmm I wonder what scene we’ll be getting today…” he said, drifting off in his own thoughts.

Even though Mr. Kang doesn’t like students who are late and likes to give detention, his classes are always interestingly fun. Every student will get a chance to perform and act in front of the class before lessons start, but the scene will totally be made by Mr. Kang himself. So we don’t know what kind of character we’ll be playing. It’s spontaneous and kind of gives the element of surprise. Mine was last week and I got to play someone who’s mentally ill, it was totally a new experience for me.

So today will be Sungyeol and Eunhee’s turn huh? Looking forward to it… I guess?
