Scenes To Beyond: episode 2 The poisoned dancer

backstage

Eventually the show ends and the seven are the only ones clapping till the end. lady with short pixie hair with curls, a cigarette holder in one hand, gown and bright red lipstick smiles brightly "ah! I see you boys have gotten the stage pass"Jin crawls out of his seat hops to the stage "that was amazing! how do they do the moves like that? moves like those would take eons to learn, but it says on the pass the girls were admitted only a few days ago? crazy!"

"well you see, we have a secret and I'm glad you're interested, follow me" The lady turned around without waiting to see if the others were following her. It was a move that, for reasons, made them think she was someone who was straightforward. Jungkook exchanged glances with Jimin, who returned a look that had a little fear in it but was mostly full of curiosity. An eagerness to move on. The lady leads them to a door that leads behind, backstage "ah by the way, I've been so excited to introduce you to this I never told you my name! nice to meet you, I'm Dianne" she gives her hand and Jin shakes it "what's your name?"

"oh! I'm Yun- i mean......Jin... wow!" he blinks harshly as if he'd just awoken from a trance "I'm Jin nice to meet you!" he shakes her hand and watches fondly as everyone else introduces themselves"alright! now!" she opens a door to reveal a ballroom with a fountain in the middle. A large fountain sticks in the middle and water runs from a long pipe out the other side, the water is a pretty clear blue and shimmers. It looks like liquid jewel. Makeup desks, chairs and mirrors with lights line the side room"oh! I'm assuming this is the dressing room?" he watches as ladies in costume pass him, all holding water bottles "And they're drinking that stuff? what is it?"

"we call it Zircon! it's liquid energy for my girls. With a cup of this they won't need to sleep, get tired, or even sweat! That way they can have practice for days on end and they're completely fine" 

"hi" the big group of girls wave in unison before resuming their activity.

 "this water runs continuously, from the rivers below Zirconia" "wow..they're very uh...in sync" Namjoon states Jin pointed at the water. His pen had magically appeared in his hands "amazing! the water is more stable and pure than the ones on earth.....this is earth right?" he squinted his eyes suspiciously- The woman looks at him in bewilderment "yes?"

The elder whispers to Namjoon "alternate version of France, one where water runs from Zirconium, and no not the periodic table equivalent but space equivalent" "ah......just one question....what's periodic table?" "oh man you've got a lot to learn" he bonks Namjoon's head with the back of his brochure

When the boys had finished the tour of the stage, Jin decided to reward them "alright, heres my wallet or at least the one containing French money. Knock yourself out! although not literally, learnt my lesson from last time and got you guys a reservation first. This location, be there by five and have fun!" He speaks in quick sentences that barely connect. He tosses his wallet and of course, Jungkook is the one to catch it. He immediately runs off with it forcing the rest of the members to trail after him.

"O Namjoon, you're not going?""nah, I figured I'd have more fun with you" he says confidentally Jin wrinkles his brow in confusion before instantly turning smug "aaaah Namjoooon! I see what you mean""what""smart" he takes out the rest of the money "psssh you knew I kept most the money to myself"the man looks at him in disbelief "that's not what I....... sigh "

Jin hooks his arm to Namjoons "come with me, through the streets of Paris" 

"Paris? I thought we were in France?" 

"oh i'm gonna love this" he says with a radiant smile. They wander through the streets happily and purchase souvenirs to their hearts content "oh my Jin look! a romance movie!" He points to a poster of a movie that quite literally translates to "A romantic movie"The elder only smiles at this. He knows Namjoon isn't aware of the millions of galaxies and planets in which romance is legal The man is like a child admiring toys as he points out every little thing he sees, Jin loves itWhen they pass one shop that plays a particular melodic tune, Jin begins to bop his head to the beat and snap. What a wonderful song it is, he strolls a round joyful. Namjoon smiles a little as Jin enjoys the music and the world around him.
