Who: Kai

What/ Where: SM Dance Practice Room

A broadcast station (SBS) is filming the whole process with interviews.

When: Random day.

How: He, my friends Daebong and Minsoo were childhood friends. We dance tgt since young so we're good in dancing. After his debut, we didn’t have time to meet.  Me, daebong and minsoo won a exo/ shinee / BAP dance cover as was invited to SM ent but didn’t know exo / shinee / BAP was coming and was super shocked so they reunite and danced together.

 

 

 

 

“Bella! Your friends are waiting!”  Mom yelled.

 “I’m almost done!” I shouted back.

 

In fact, I’ve only just come out of the shower.

After getting dressed, I looked at the mirror.

 

“Hwaiting!” I said, to my reflection.

 

I went downstairs and hugged my mum.

“Bye~”

 

“You’re not eating?” Mum looked at me and I waved it off.

“I’ll be fine; I’ll just grab some food on the way.”

 

I kissed my mum on the cheek and left with my friends, Dae Bong and Min Soo.

 

“Took you long enough.” Dae Bong gave me an irritated look.

“Mianhae…” I stuck out my tongue.

“Girls…You have to understand, Dae Bong.” Min Soo patted Dae Bong on the shoulder.

 

Dae Bong shook his head and sighed.

“My heart is beating so fast…” I placed my hand on my bosom.

“Relax kiddo.” Dae Bong patted my head.

 

Dae Bong and Min Soo are my childhood besties…We loved dancing and our coordination was really daebak. (Said by our fans. Yes, we HAVE fans.)

 

We are heading to SM Entertainment right now because we’ve won a dance cover.

Finally, we’ve reach the SM building.

 

Will we see him? I wonder.

 

“Hi, this is SM. Do you have any appointments?” The SM staff unnie asked.

“We are the winners from the dance cover contest.” Min Soo replied, and gave a half-smile.

 

 “Please, follow my colleague.” The unnie motioned us.

 

The three of us gave a small bow and followed.

“There will be a small interview, you do know that right?” The staff said, while walking.

“Yes.” Min Soo and Dae Bong replied.

 

What?! How come I didn’t know it!?

 

I glared at Dae Bong and Min Soo.

They looked to the front, avoiding my eyes.

 

“The reporters will be here shortly, if there’s anything else you can look for me.” The staff led us to a room and then left.

 

“Min Soo, interview? Dae Bong? Why didn’t you guys tell me?” I pouted.

 

“Min Soo said he wanted to give you a surprise…”Dae Bong took a glace of me and looked at the floor.

I turned to my left and shot Min Soo a death glare.

“Min Soo oppa.”

“…I was afraid that if we told you, you might not go to SM with us!”

 

“Tch. Babo.” I flicked his forehead.

“Ouch.” Min Soo rubbed his forehead.

 

“Good Morning!”

The door opened.

 

“We the reporters from the SBS, the interview wouldn’t take long and….we would be filming the whole process.”

“Miss Song!” Her colleague nudged her.

 

“Oops. Haha. Let’s start shall we?” She sat down and took off her coat.

“How old are you guys?”

“We’re all of the same age. 18.” Min Soo replied, he seems to not have any problem.

 

“How long have you guys danced together for?”

“Well…that’s a hard question…we’ve danced for a pretty long time together…from…elementary school till now.”

“Wow. That’s amazing! This explains why there’s such a strong chemistry between you guys!”

 

Then, I thought of him.

We managed to answer all the questions but we never mentioned him.

 

He was also there.

Dancing with us.

But he was the lucky one that got picked by SM and got to debut.

 

My chest tightens.

“I’ll like to go to the washroom.” I said, and excused myself.

 

I was finally out of that room.

I walked a few steps but noticed that the floor was exceptionally shaky.

 

I fell forwards.

 

“Oh my god!” A guy exclaimed.

Someone caught me.

 

“You okay there?”

This voice.

These hands…the feeling of them…

It can only belong to…

“Jong In! Is the girl okay?”

 

I looked up but I closed my eyes afterwards because a headache came my way.

“Ah…”I rubbed my temples.

 

“Bella. You didn’t eat in the morning again?”

“Jong In…”

“Kai, you know this girl?” I hear a guy with a deep voice asking Jong In.

 

“Yeah, she’s my friend.”

“…is she alright?” Another voice said.

 

“I’m alright.” I forced myself to stand up straight but failed pathetically because my legs wobbled.

 

“Guys, do you have sweets?” Jong In asked his friends.

“Here.”

 

“Bella, you ought to take care of yourself.” Jong In put a piece of mentos into my mouth.

“Feeling better?” He asked.

 

“Yeah.” I regained my energy but I was still weak.

“Take this.”

Jong In placed a burger on my hand.

 

“Eat.”

“Gomawo…”

“Bella, come.” He pulled me to a nearby bench and sat with me.

 

“I will catch up with you later.” Jong In motioned his friends to leave.

 

“Thank you…” I said to him, while munching on the burger.

“You should get rid of that damned habit of yours...” He looked at me worriedly, and patted my head.

I took a bite of my burger and looked at him.

 

Why do I feel this strange new emotion that I never had before…

 

“How’s the guys?” He asked.

 

After his debut, we can’t even meet up anymore...he couldn’t do anything about it as well.

As Exo’s popularity grows, we go further away from him.

It’s sad.

 

“They are doing well…everything’s fine except that…”

“What?”

“You’re not there.” I replied.

 

“Mianhae. I should be happy for you. Congrats on your debut. ” I added on, to not make him feel guilty.

“I miss you guys.” He said

I turned to look at Jong In.

He looks at the floor for a long time.

 

“Me too.” I said.

 

“Bella.”

He looks at me.

 

“Hmm?” I slightly tilted my head to my right.

“I’m doing the right thing, right? But…I feel empty…coz’ you guys are not here with me.”

 

He’s talking about his debut.

“Gwenchana…don’t think too much.” I squeezed his shoulder lightly.

 

He nodded and his gaze landed on my face again.

“I missed you.”

“Jong in…”

 

He looks down at his watch and he sprung up from the bench.

“I have to go.”

“Oh, bye.” I waved at him, and forced a smile.

“Bye.”

 

I went back to the room.

“Sorry for the delay.” I said upon entering the room.

 

“It’s alright.” The female reporter said and gave me a smile.

 

“Back to the topic. Exo-K’s member, Kai was your acquaintance. Am I right?”

I looked at Dae Bong and Min Soo.

 

They were shocked as well.

“Well, I did my research. So it’s alright to discuss it freely.”

 

“Ne. He is our friend.” I replied and sat between Min Soo and Dae Bong.

“Did you guys go to the audition together?”

 

I took a quick look at Min Soo.

His vein appeared…at his neck…

I held his hand and lightly squeezed it.

 

“Yeah, we went to the auditions together. But Kai was the lucky one to get selected.” I replied, because Dae Bong and Min Soo went all silent on me.

 

“What did you feel when Kai was selected?” The question was asked by the male reporter.

I felt the tension in the air; I reached for Dae Bong’s hand too.

 

“Honestly, we all felt happy for him.” I replied the male reporter with a smile.

“Really-”

The female reporter shot him a look and he stopped.

 

“Moving on, what plans after you making after this?” The female reporter asked.

“Currently, we’re gonna keep going for the auditions until we get in.” I replied.

“Your perseverance’s strong.”

 

“Call me stubborn but I still wanna get into SM ent.” Min Soo finally spoke.

“Oh? Why is that so?” The female reporter asked.

“Because, it’s our dream.” Dae Song also begun to speak.

 

The guys looked at me and gave me a smile.

“Gomawo.” Dae Bong mouthed.

Min Soo gave me a nod.

 

I smile right back at them.

 

“Okay, so now we’re supposed to wait for the staff to give further instructions.” The female reporter said.

Then, the door opens.

“The rooms are ready. Please follow us.” A staff pointed to a direction.

 

“Rooms?”

 

“We’ll tell you more when you get there.”

“Okay…”

 

The three of us each went inside a room.

It was like any other SM’s practice rooms.

Curtains designed with cloud patterns.

 

“Erm…” I looked at the staff, she tells me to wait.

 

Something feels strange.

 

*bell rings*

“Winners of the cover dance right? One question, do you want to get into SM ent?”

The voice was broadcasted into each of the three rooms.

 

“Yes.”

The three of us answered.

 

“Good. Let the trials begin!”

 

Trials? Hopefully it’s based on dancing otherwise I wouldn’t know what to do.

 

*music starts playing*

Careless, Careless, Shoot anonymous, anonoymous.

Heartless, Mindless, No one who care about me…

 

I started dancing to the music.

 

I believed the guys are doing the same.

We loved the song.

 

*music stops*

“Please continue to dance.”

 

It didn’t give me any problems.

 

*music changed to SHINee’s Sherlock*

 

I danced according to my memory of it.

 

*Music stops*

“You three have done well. Now…your final test.”

 

*music plays: Rocketeer by Far East Movement*

 

Freestyle? No problem. My favourite!

 

Suddenly, a guy was behind me.

“Just dance.” He whispered.

 

I adjusted myself.

So that OUR dance has flow.

 

He held my wrist and pulled me to him.

“Good.” He smirks.

 

I can’t really see who the dancer is because he wore a mask, but his dancing…

There’s a familiar touch and feeling.

 

He dances pretty well too.

We were able to dance together well and it was impressive because I don’t get used to just ANYONE.

Actually, I hate people who I don’t know touching me and dancing with me.

 

*music stops*

 

“All of you have done well. You’ll prepare everything you need and start your training next week.”

 

I was shocked. Does this mean…

 

The door flung open.

Dae Bong and Min Soo ran to me and hugged me tightly.

“Bella!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

 

“Oxygen…need oxygen!” I said, and they released me.

“Congratulations~” The guy that was dancing with me said.

 

“Thanks, Jong In.” I’m not sure whether it’s Jong In but my gut says so.

“You knew?” He took out his mask.

“Yay~ I was right!”

 

Just then, the reporters from just now went inside the room.

(What we didn’t know…they recorded down everything…)

“How do you feel now?” The male reporter said.

 

“So fly like a G6!” Min Soo said; he was always saying these kinds of lame jokes.

 

Min Soo held my hand.

Dae Bong held the other one.

 

Awkwardly, Jong In was leaving the room.

 

“KIM JONG IN, GET YOUR BACK IN HERE! HYUNG SAYS SO!” Min Soo shouted.

Jong In came back.

Min Soo grabbed his hand and Dae Bong did the same.

 

“Group hug!” Minsoo said.

“ARGH, NOOO~” I pretended to not like it.

 

We hugged. It was like the old times.

“Bella...”

Tears formed in Jong In’s eyes.

 

“Don’t cry…” I was tearing up too.

“Aish!” Min Soo was desperately wiping his tears away.

“You guys…Stop crying…”

 

Even Dae Bong…

 

“Let’s dance together. I missed dancing so much.” Jong In said.

We all nodded in agreement and danced.

 

It’s been a long time…But our friendship never did end. Even though we were not with each other, our hearts were always…ALWAYS beating as one.

 

“Bella.”

“Hmm?” I looked at Jong In.

 

He grabbed my wrist and pulled me to a place where there was no one else but us.

“Jong in? The guys…”

“Min Soo and Dae Bong will be fine.” He said.

 

“Bella.” His face got all serious.

“What?”

 

“Be my girlfriend.”

“…huh?!”

He pulled me into a hug.

 

“Only you. Only you can make me feel that way when I dance with you.  You’re so perfect in my eyes, nothing else can be compared to you.”

 

His hot breath…was tickling my neck.

I…

 

“Jong In…”

I tightened the embrace.

 

“This…means yes right?” Jong In asked.

“Yeap.”

 

“Great. From now onwards…neon naekkeoya.” He smiles.

(Trans: Neon naekkeoya= You’re Mine)

 

He cupped my cheeks.

And kissed me gently…
