"He... He Just..."
~~~~~~~~
Ellie walked back up to her room the moment her Mother walked in. She had a hangover and Ellie wasn't at all willing to listen to her nagging about how much her head hurts.
She flopped down on her bed onto her stomach and smiled, seeing nothing but black. The scene of Yoongi being there with her playing in her mind over and over again.
She smiled and sat up straight with a soft squeal in happiness and excitement for the next day. The day the two had planned to meet up and have a dance lesson.
"I don't think I can wait until tomorrow..." Ellie whispered to herself with a sigh. She looked down at her phone and then her bedroom door, praying that her mother wouldn't come in.
The girl dialled Yoongi's number and waited for the latter to pick up his phone. Two rings later, Yoongi's soft and, seemingly embarrassed and awkward, voice sounded from the other line.
"Hello?" He asked, despite knowing who was calling. Ellie blushed at the thought of the, now, awkward and embarrassed boy that had so much confidence only moments before.
"Hi. I was wondering if you wanted to have the dance lesson now?" She asked, fidgeting with her thumbs, a little nervous.
Yoongi's voice was cut off by the sudden opening of Ellie's bedroom door. Ellie looked up and her Mother was standing there with her arms crossed across her chest.
Ellie raised an eyebrow, secretly telling the woman to continue what she actually wanted to say.
"Who are you talking to?" Her Mother asked. The one question she didn't want to be asked.
"A friend," Ellie replied shortly. Her Mother scoffed and nodded. "Why?" Ellie pried. Her Mother rolled her eyes.
"It's that boy again, isn't it." She said, making it sound more like a statement other than a question.
"Mum! I can talk to boys if I want to! I can even date someone if I want to! I'm not five!" Ellie groaned, knowing that Yoongi was probably trying so hard not to laugh. Her Mother pursed her lips tightly.
"Okay." Was all she said before walking out and closing the door softly behind her. Ellie sighed and came back to Yoongi, who was listening in to the whole conversation.
"So... What was I saying?" Ellie asked, a little awkwardly. Yoongi chuckled and hummed as if deep in thought.
"Hmm... Let me see... You want to teach me how to dance today instead of tomorrow." Yoongi stated. Ellie bit her lip.
"How about I teach you today and tomorrow?" Ellie suggested, hope evident in her voice and her eyes glistening eagerly. Yoongi paused for a moment before humming in approval.
"Sure. That sounds good. How about I pick you up in five?" He proposed. Ellie nodded in approval.
"Yeah. See you then." Ellie said and hung up, immediately after springing up from her bed and straight up to her wardrobe, grabbing some dancing clothes.
Her clothes consisted of a black sports bra, a pair of navy blue shorts and a pair of beige air max Nikes.
When she was dressed, she grabbed a small-ish gym bag and walked downstairs.
"Mum! I'm going to dance class with a friend, I'll be back later!" Ellie called from the hall, as she checked that she had her Bluetooth speakers, her phone, a two-litre bottle of water and a towel.
When she was sure, she grabbed the keys and shoved them into her shorts pocket. She leaned against the wall as she waited for the doorbell to ring. Meanwhile, her Mother still hadn't replied.
Ellie, a little worried, spun around, planning to go into the kitchen to say goodbye, but her Mother was right behind her.
"Can I meet the boy?" She asked softly. Ellie nodded and smiled a little, just as the doorbell rang.
"It's him," Ellie said, opening the door, revealing Yoongi in his sportswear.
He had a tight-fitting gym t-shirt on, a pair of black and white quarter-length gym trousers and a pair of black Nikes.
Ellie stared at the boy in front of her for a good five minutes, before shaking her head and blinking up at the boy who smiled a soft smile. Ellie naturally smiled right back.
She looked behind her and noticed her Mother trying to get a sneak peek of the boy. Ellie rolled her eyes jokingly and stepped aside.
"Yoongi, meet my Mother. Mother, meet Yoongi." She introduced them as Yoongi bowed politely, confusing the older woman in front of him.
"It's manners in Korea," Ellie explained. Her Mother nodded and mustered up a sincere smile.
"Have fun, you two." She said before going back inside and farther into the house. Ellie sighed in contentment and smiled, taking Yoongi's hand and intertwining their fingers.
Yoongi, a little startled by the sudden action, didn't know what to do so his hand became as stiff as a rock. Ellie noticed and smile, tightening her grip, refusing to let go.
"Calm down," Ellie reassured. "I'm only holding your hand, Yoonges." She smiled as she continued to walk towards a nearby dance practice studio, dragging the boy behind her.
Once they got there, after a ten-minute walk, they registered and picked a fairly big practice room. Ellie walked to the back wall and set up her Bluetooth speaker, her phone and her water.
Yoongi, being the absolute genius he was, forgot to bring a bottle of water and a towel. He facepalmed himself as he began to stretch himself a little. Ellie smiled at the boy and nodded.
"Okay. You're stretched now, aren't you?" She asked, Yoongi nodded and smiled at the girl before him, only now noticing the gym outfit she had on. It fit her form perfectly.
"Yeah... Let's get... Let's get started." Yoongi stuttered as he tried not to stare. Ellie giggled and nodded.
"How about we start with one of my own songs?" Ellie suggested. Yoongi nodded and Ellie pressed play. "It's called Fake Love." Yoongi nodded again and tried to listen to the song's lyrics at the same time watching the girl dance the choreography she had already made herself. She was very talented.
"Okay. I think I'm ready."
