Unknown to many, dancing is not just an art. It’s a form of sports, too and it can be dangerous at times. Believe it or not I learned it the hard way.

Being the future president of the dance squad, I wanted to show off an awfully difficult break dance routine for the year-end graduation concert of my seniors. I decided to break into the university’s auditorium to try one of the known “suicide” moves wherein I had to do a front head flip and pretend to fall down and lose control of myself. I had to make it look really painful but in truth it shouldn’t do any damage to myself.

Supposedly.

However, as I was flipping on air, from the springboard taller than me, I chickened out. I just suddenly out while I was on air and seconds away from my floor landing I was choosing which body part I can use to cushion my body’s weight.  If I use my hand, I may break my arm and won’t be able to write for a few months. If I use my feet I won’t be able to walk and dance for quite some time. Arms have weaker muscles compared to legs which can handle more weight and greater impact. I’ll land on foot then. Again, it was an ill decision as I ended up screaming in pain with no other people in the auditorium to come and help.

I was beginning to feel hopeless when a student appeared at the audience entrance. Finally, my knight in shining armor. I sighed in relief but as he was getting closer, I wished I just remained alone. He was the least popular, the nerdiest, the most laugh at person in campus, Jung Yunho. I don’t know and I don’t even care how I knew his name but he is the last person I would seek help from. I just don’t like him! That’s all.
