A/n: Omg I’m so glad he debuted!! He has been my #1 pick since the beginning hehe~ Anyway, I’m sorry this took so long, but I hope you enjoy it ^^
Approaching the practice room, you heard the low, pounding bass from behind the closed door. You could feel the thumping from underneath you and you cautiously open the door, peeking in. You smiled at the sight.
You crept your way in, making sure the dancer didn’t see you and sat in one of the chairs in the corner of the room. You watch happily, swaying your feet back and forth as you watched your boyfriend, Jia Yi, dance to “Baby Don’t Stop”. You admired each of his sharp, precise movements and couldn’t help but swoon at the sight of him dancing so passionately.
The music stopped and you’re pulled out of your trance. Jia Yi didn’t seem to notice you yet so you decided to sneak up behind him. Just as he bent down to put his water bottle back, you leaped into the air and attached yourself to his broad back, wrapping all four of your limbs around him.
You giggled as he let out a loud, high-pitched scream, stumbling around a little. You held on tight to prevent yourself from crashing into the floor. Finally, he steadied himself and peeled off your limbs. You pouted a little before he crushed you in a suffocating hug.
“Ugh, stop scaring me! How long have you been in here?” you hear a slight whine in his voice.
“I came in about a minute ago,” you chuckle, trying to pull yourself out of his death grip, “I saw you dancing.”
“What? That’s so embarrassing,” he huffs.
“Aww, why? You were really good, baby,” you comfort him while still trying to escape his sweaty arms.
“You just say that because you’re my girlfriend! You kinda have to say it,” Jia Yi cries, finally letting you go.
You frown, “No, you really are good...definitely better than me.”
“But you don’t dance,” Jia Yi raises an eyebrow.
“Well, you could teach me,” you happily suggest, “The best way to learn is to teach.”
Jia Yi looks at you a little suspiciously before agreeing, “Fine, don’t come whining at me when it gets too hard.”
“I won’t,” you beam up at your boyfriend and you giggle at the sight of his blushing cheeks.
The two of you started off with some stretches. You silently followed whatever Jia Yi did, watching him carefully through the mirror. His gaze meets yours and the two of you fell into a fit of giggles before settling back into a comfortable silence as you stretched. You couldn’t help but admire your boyfriend as he easily bends down and touches his toes with ease.
You finish stretching quickly and Jia Yi stretches one last time before standing up fully. He turns around to face you and cocks his head, thinking about how to start. He gently pulls you along with him so that both of you are closer to the mirror.
“Alright, just follow whatever I’m doing. I’ll go slow,” he looks at you through the mirror and you give him a determined nod.
Not even five minutes in, you began to realize just how difficult it actually was. You’ve watched Jia Yi dance to “Baby Don’t Stop” and he makes it look like a walk in the park. You’ve also seen the whole group dance to their songs and they make it seem effortless. A giant pout made its way onto your face and Jia Yi chuckles a little.
“You’re doing good,” he encourages.
“I’m not and you know it!” you whine, “This is hard.”
“Hey, you said you wouldn’t whine. You’re actually doing great though, considering that you’ve never danced before,” Jia Yi moves closer to you.
“Ugh, you guys are amazing though. You always make the dances seem so easy,” you sigh.
“Here, let’s try this instead,” Jia Yi steps behind you and you watch him through the mirror.
He rests one hand on your waist, stabilizing you as you nearly tipped over by his sudden closeness. He gently grabs your wrist and angles it down a little. He makes sure you’re watching and when you nod, he proceeds to swiftly help you move from one position to the next. With his hands resting softly on you, he moves you back and forth a few times.
“Just like that, okay?” Jia Yi hums. His voice is almost a whisper next to your ears and you shiver slightly.
“Okay, let’s piece the beginning together,” he happily skips towards his phone and the music began playing.
He quickly jumps back next to you and the two of you complete the part of the dance that you know. Of course, he was much more graceful than you, but both of you had a good laugh when you nearly tripped over your own foot when transitioning from one position to the other.
“Yes! That’s it! You’re doing amazing, baby~” Jia Yi coos, attacking you with kisses.
“Ah, we literally did like ten seconds of the song!” you squeal, feigning annoyance.
“Still, you’re getting the hang of it pretty quickly. Let’s try that again,” he excitedly encourages, bouncing back towards his phone to replay the first part of the song.
The two of you danced and danced, forgetting about all your worries. You enjoyed being able to spend this time with your busy boyfriend. Surprisingly, you got the hang of the dance pretty quickly, but it was mostly due to Jia Yi’s wonderous teaching technique.
“Yes! You got the whole song without tripping!” Jia Yi claps loudly as you bow repeatedly.
“Haha! It’s all thanks to you,” you laugh, wrapping your arms around him, giving him a quick kiss, “You’re the best teacher in the world.”
“And you’re the best student in the world,” he winks, brushing a few sweaty strands of hair away from your face.
You peek at the clock behind him and your eyebrows shoot up, “Oh, it’s already eight. I didn’t realize it had gotten so late.”
“Oh, wow. Yeah,” Jia Yi turns and gapes at the clock.
“Let’s go get dinner,” you suggest, “I’m hungry.”
“Me too,” Jia Yi nods in agreement, “But let’s do this choreo one last time.”
You nod and Jia Yi skips off to turn the music back on. Both of you get in position and you watch him carefully, waiting for the starting cue. Luckily, you completed the routine without messing up and you got excited...a little too excited. Before the song ended, you jumped up and turned to your boyfriend, but you didn’t notice his foot as you skipped over, causing you to trip.
You let out a noise of surprise, flailing your arms to try to get your balance back. A pair of strong arms wrap around your waist, preventing you from falling over. However, your momentum was too strong and Jia Yi, who was still holding you close, fell over as well. You hear him groan underneath you and you groan as well, rubbing your knees that have hit the ground.
“Oh my gosh, Jia Yi, I’m so sorry! Are you okay?” you panic when you see his pain-filled expression.
“Y/n! We almost got it~” Jia Yi whines from underneath you.
“I’m sorry,” you pout, “I got too excited that I forgot there was one last step.”
“Hmph, you’re lucky I love you. Otherwise, you’d be paying for all my medical fees,” Jia Yi huffs.
“You love me?” your eyes widen. You didn’t hear a single word he had said after he told you he loved you.
Jia Yi’s face turns completely red and he begins stuttering, “I-I mean of c-course! You’re my g-girlfriend and I’ve realized that I-I can’t live without you...haha....”
You couldn’t help but tear up at his words. You sat on top of him, sniffling, unable to move. Jia Yi notices the tears and begins to fret, but before he could say anything, you leaned down and closed the gap between the two of you. Your lips landed perfectly onto your boyfriend’s and you melt into the kiss.
You feel Jia Yi relax and he sits up, cradling you in his arms. Unfortunately, both of you need to breathe and you reluctantly pull away. You look into Jia Yi’s soft eyes as he uses his thumbs to gently wipe the tears away.
“I love you too,” you hiccup, giving him another quick kiss.
Jia Yi chuckles, “Good, you had me worried there for a second. Now let’s get dinner, yeah? I’m starving.”
You laugh, nodding and getting off of Jia Yi’s lap. The two of you walked hand-in-hand out of the studio and headed out. As the two of you walked, you leaned your head against his shoulder, your hands tightly holding onto his. Your heart fluttered as you kept repeating Jia Yi’s “I love you” in your head. You smiled to yourself. You could definitely practice getting used to this feeling.
omg pls, i love this gif sm! Jia Yi is a lucky man...pretend you’re Jolin lmao
