          how exactly hyeri had gotten to this point, cross-legged and listening intently to the trainer explaining the fine mechanics of choreography, hyeri wouldn’t be able to tell someone so easily. when the girl had entered kt almost two years prior, dancing at that time had been little more than a convenient passion she’d happened to do well.  a past-time built up only by her mother’s insistence that ‘every little girl needs to learn ballet’ in order to be somebody. but hyeri’s mother had always been the old-fashioned type-- an aristocrat dressed to the nines in twenty-first century clothing-- and hyeri cared little for what girls should and shouldn’t do. if she wanted to dance, it’d be her own decision to make and no one else’s.

          and boy, it was amazing to discover what competition could do. hyeri’s pride isn’t that she’s a natural talent but that she works hard at every little thing to improve herself, this workshop included. attending beginner’s choreography is optional but hyeri remembers the words of her skeptical trainer at last month’s evaluation-- ‘if she wants to be main dancer, she has to contribute more than just returning steps she’s given.’  and so, ever the obedient student, hyeri finds herself in this place, eyes and ears attuned to the instructions given out to the group. they’ll be making their own dances, no surprise, and judged for it accordingly.

          when the spiel is over, hyeri’s eyes slide over to her class partner. cracking a grin, the dancer bestows upon heeo her full attention. “ready to do this?” she asks pointedly and fishes out her phone to bring up the naver app. “we need to pick a song.”

it’d been a week since he’d moved back and he’d been putting this off - he was nervous, if he was being honest with himself. they’d talked since he’d moved away, but not enough to stop that gnawing in his chest. he missed that warmth that spread through him like a trickling stream of honey smoothing through his veins and heating him from the inside out; that familiar feeling he always got when looking at her. god, it’d be embarrassing if anyone were to go through his phone and see all the pictures he’d kept from the times they’d spent together. he’d stopped counting the times he’d scrolled through his phone gallery and beamed at the pictures they’d taken together - even the blurry ones from that one crazy party.

he’d spent the week settling into his apartment, sorting things out and getting his job back. he’d missed being a prince, it was where he belonged, until he made his way into the spotlight of course. but now that everything was settled and he was back to the life he loved he needed to find the person who he’d wished to see since the day he’d left. it felt like someone had taken a shotgun and blown a hole through him when he’d been ripped from his comfortable, enjoyable life among friends and loved ones. of course being with the family that needed him was a priority but it wasn’t the only part of his life that he cared about.

so now he stood outside the building he was so familiar with from all the times he’d visited before. he remembered the last time he’d been there, the scent of pancakes and syrup, the music that got them dancing. he smiled as he remembered the feeling of her small figure held close as they laughed and danced - he missed it, yet he was scared that things wouldn’t be the same, that they would have changed for the worse.

all he could do was wait. hearing of the contract she’d received, giving her that stepping stone to dream he knew they both craved, he knew she’d be in training, or just finishing it. it prompted the mental reminder to ask her timetable, and memorise it. but for now he was happy to wait in the dark, hoodie hugged tight around him to keep out the chill of the night air. his excitement, and anxiousness kept him warm, as he shifted his weight from one foot to another restlessly.

Taeyeon was quite happy to hear that there were going to be some new people joining the KT Family soon, as word had gotten around that there were going to be some auditions.  She was surprised though, to find out that the one person that had been invited to join them was someone that caused whispers around the corridors of KT about who it was.  She had remembered the girl Heeo from the MGAs, though she was never on her team.  There had been some nasty rumors going around about her, and she wasn’t sure if there was truth to anything she had heard, or if it was just that, rumors.

Taeyeon was never one to judge a book by it’s cover.

“sorry!” woohyun smiles awkwardly at the people that stare back at him, bowing quickly before shutting the door to the practice room. his smile falters as he sighs, shakes his head and continues to the next room—only receiving the same results. an apologetic grin and a smile, woohyun feels quite unsuccessful.

especially after the fourth room he encounters is occupied. he just wants a place to practice without bothering someone else.

he rubs a hand over his face and sighs, a long drawn out breath—moving his hand to scratch the side of his head, he yawns loud, eyes falling shut as he moves down the hallway slowly. he drags his feet, feeling a bit disappointed at the lack of success in finding a room.  “there’s bound to be one…kt is a big enough place.” he mumbles to himself.

coming across another door, he opens it quietly and peeks his head in, blinking and frowning for a moment as he glances at the girl inside. another unlucky door, he thinks, offering a small smile at they turn—but the shock that settles in for a moment at the face he recognizes, mind going blank for a long few moments. one blink, then two—and then he’s gaping, pushing the door open wide as he extends his arm and points.

“you’re—from the mgas!” he yells bluntly, eyes wide as he begins recalling everything he can about the girl. it comes in vague flashes—as his mind during the mgas had been filled with mainly mijoo and her performances, but he doesn’t forget her face at all.

heeo? had that been it.
