Dancing Between Hearts

~~*Chapter II*~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Eun-hana felt relieved returning back to her dorm room after 35 minutes of walking around the entire school looking for the main office to get their schedule. She walked in to find that Ha-ri had already left for the main hall. She changed and was just grabbing her phone to leave when she heard a soft knock on the door, she opened it to find In-sik standing there smiling down at her.
"Sunbae, what are you doing here?"
"Ha-ri walked into the hall alone and told me you had to go to the main office, that you might not know how to get to here and I should come get you."
"Oh..." she looked down, her faced flushed, of course Ha-ri did that, if only In-sik knew what she really was up to.
"Well lets go, come on."
"Okay.."

The main hall for assembly at the dance academy was a grand spectacle of elegance and artistry. Tall arched windows adorned with delicate lace curtains allowed natural light to flood the spacious room, casting a warm glow over the polished wooden floors. Ornate chandeliers hung from the high ceiling, illuminating the space with a soft, golden light that danced off the mirrored walls. Adorned with intricate murals depicting scenes of grace and movement, the hall exuded an atmosphere of creativity and inspiration, setting the stage for the passionate pursuit of dance excellence. As soon as the two walked in In-sik disappeared to go back stage.

Eun-hana then spotted Ha-ri with an empty seat next to her and when to go sit by her friend. The boy who Eun-hana had seen before was just a few rows behind them, the crowed was full of talking and Eun-hana could hear many different languages from every side of the hall, English, Korean, Japanese, which she also understood thanks to her mother, Thai, Chinese, Congolese and a few other languages she couldn't identify.
"So..." Ha-ri turned to Eun-hana grinning, "How was your time was with In-sik Sunbae?"
"Decent... but don't ever try that again."
Ha-ri laughed and the two turned to the front two see the curtains opening and Principal Cha with his son, In-sik standing on the dimly-lit stage.

"Good evening everyone, I am Principal Cha Do-im, but just call me Principal Cha or Mr Cha," Principal Cha started, "It is an honor to have all you amazing dancers all in one hall, each of you have an equal potential to be among the best of the best, to be the best of the best."

As he carried on speaking, In-sik used his eyes to scan the audience for Eun-hana and when he finally found her, he smiled warmly but had to put back on a nonchalant face so nobody in the crowed noticed his sudden happiness, the speech went on and he kept sneaking glances at her, but Eun-hana was two focused on Principal Cha to even give him a smile or anything.
When the speech was over, everyone had scattered to socialize with everyone, In-sik then walked up to Eun-hana and grabbed her hand in which Eun-hana grabbed Ha-ri's hand pulling her as well until In-sik stopped in front of a group of people.

"What was that about?" Eun-hana said before turning to look at the group of people, there were 4, not including In-sik, among those people she spotted the jerk from before who had rudely walked away from her apology, he was talking to a boy in Korean?

"I thought you didn't understand Korean?" Eun-hana folded her arms, the whole groups attention turned to them, "Suddenly you are fluent?"
"Are you stalking me or something?" He said raising his eye-brows.
"Do you guys know each other?" In-sik interrupted looking at the two in confusion.
"Sort of.." Eun-hana replied stepping away from the boy.
"Who are your friends, In-sik?" One of the group members asked putting their arm on In-sik's shoulder.
"This is Kim Eun-hana, she is a hip-hop major like me. And this is Yu Ha-ri, lyrical major. I gave them a tour earlier today around the school." Then he turned to the girls, "This is Lim Tae-sung, he's a jazz major, Beak Ha-jun, he's a ballet major, Seo Ra-im, she's also a ballet major, and finally.." He turned to the boy that Eun-hana was talking to, "Lee Jun-ho, my bestfriend, jazz major."

Everybody said their hellos, and Eun-hana and Ha-ri returned everyone one of theirs with their own. Suddenly with no warning, a girl's voice called out from behind Eun-hana, "Move." Eun-hana quickly turned to the girl, she had striking dyed pink hair approached them, "I said move." Eun-hana moved straight out of the way. Her dark brown eyes sparkled with curiosity she glanced at Jun-ho, seductively. She wore a fashionable ensemble that highlighted her vibrant personality, and it was clear from the way she bit her lip, nervously tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and batted her eye lashes, she had a crush on Jun-ho, but Jun-ho payed no attention to her what so ever, it had always been like that since they were kids.

"Ah, yes how can we forget Hwang Su-ae." Ra-im sighed and turned to Eun-hana and Ha-ri, "She's had a crush on Jun-ho since they were kids, it's pretty bad.."
"Shut up." Su-ae snapped at her angrily and turned back to the annoyed looking Jun-ho, then she slid her arm through his, which quickly resulted into him pulling his hand away from hers.
"If I'm not mistaken, the only second years here are Jun-ho sunbae and In-sik sunbae, right?" Ha-ri asked.
"Yes, you are correct." Ha-jun replied, smiling warmly at her.
"Then how do you all know each other?" Ha-ri continued.
"We were a friend group back in high school, they mixed our classrooms with seniors, so thats how we met Jun-ho and In-sik." Tae-sung answered before Ha-jun could.
"Oh, I see..." Ha-ri said before turning to Eun-hana, "So how do you know Jun-ho sunbae?"
"I bumped into him in the hallway and he pretended to not speak English just to get out of accepting my apology." Eun-hana explained.
But then Jun-ho quickly interrupted her, "I wasn't doing that just to not accept your apology. I just didn't want to talk to you."
Suddenly Su-ae laughed out loud, "You are so funny, oppa!" She tried to link arms with him again but just like before, she failed.
"Whatever, I'm going to leave first.." Eun-hana turned to leave but In-sik stopped her before she could go.
"Let me escort you back," He started to walk with her back to her dorm room.
As the two walked out of the hall, Jun-ho's intense gaze remained on Eun-hana, until he couldn't see her anymore..
