"I'm disappointed." Wooyoung sulked in such manner. "I'm so disappointed."
"They're disappointed." Yeri reiterated, checking her nails.
I ignored them since we are just like this for half an hour. We are wasting such precious time!
"C-can't we just start to dance?" Yunho suggested. I know his name since Wooyoung cannot stop his mouth from shouting his name.
I looked at him and said, "Thank you. Oh god."
He smiled sheepishly at me, making Wooyoung frown, "Yunho~"
He's acting like a kid with his lollipop getting taken away. He's sulking, I repeat, he's sulking for such a long time.
"Don't mind him." The leader told me who is just standing beside me. "I'm so sorry."
"It's okay." I assured, holding a laughter inside my body and soul.
Mingi stood up and whistled, "Pirate queen, show us your moves."
Pirate queen? What the h-
"I thought it's say my name that I only know of?" I asked, raising my eyebrows.
"Oh!" Wooyoung blurted out. "Then you knew our other songs! Pirate king!"
I ignored him and faced Mingi, "Let's just start."
"Yeri-ssi!" Mingi shouted, getting into his position. "Cue the music!"
Yeri scoffed and just turned on the music player. I looked at them, not knowing where to start or how to join in since I'm too shy for this. I thought it was just the four of us.
"Yeri, why are y-you just standing there?" Wooyoung asked while dancing.
Dance now, embarrass later. Okay. It's time.
So, I suddenly went in and started to dance. I heard Yeri cheered and clapped her hands like a seal.
As I was dancing, I felt like I am alone in a stage, giving my all in. Spotlight is pointed at me and loud music is blasting throughout the area. I am indulged to happiness. I felt so happy.
"Jisoo, wake up."
I didn't stop dancing, but I was looking around me, searching who just said that.
"Our dream!"
This time, a louder one. It is neither Wooyoung nor the other guys' voice. That voice made me stop dancing and gasping for breath since I just realized I went too hard on dancing.
I heard the guys clapping at me and Yeri's cheering, but it felt like I am in this big dark hallway or room with sounds and noise echoing, piercing my ears. I felt like I was...lost.
"Woah! You danced well, Jisoo!" Wooyoung cheered, making me snap out of trance. I looked at him and he looked so much happy and here I am, feeling like I have something that is taken away from me.
I smiled a bit at him and looked down, so they don't have to see me looking like a lost kid.
"We cannot teach you." San stated out, crossing his arms. "You are already better than us! How come we are teaching you? You should teach us!"
"Yes, San's right. You stand out already, has charisma, stage-presence. A real performer!" Hongjoong said. Welp.
So, this is the feeling. The feeling of getting praises from other people except for Mom and Lucas, of course.
I started to get flustered and looked down again, suddenly admiring the floor.
"Our Jisoo is flustered!" Wooyoung announced and laughed.
This kid.
"Let's eat!" Yeri shouted and clapped her hands again vigorously.
We all cheered and went to her spot, where all the snacks are.
~~~
"My back hurts." I blurted out loud as I saw the guys dancing and Yeri and Mingi fooling around. "I must have danced abruptly. My whole body is destroyed."
"Turn around." He demanded as I look at him in confusion.
"But why?"
"Just turn around before I force you and make your back hurts even more." Wooyoung 'threatened' me, making me obey his little command. "Good."
He started to massage my shoulder and back, "It hurts!"
"How come your back is already hurting? Isn't it always like when you wake up and started to feel like your bones are destroyed within your body, so it makes it harder for you to walk or even move?"
"I don't know." I responded, closing my eyes in satisfaction. "Google it."
"Oh!"
"What?" He panicked and stopped what he is currently doing. "Did something happened?! Did I hurt you? Did I break-"
"Stop panicking. You just hit, uhm, the spot where it hurts so much."
"Oh." He stopped for a bit and hesitantly started massaging my back again. "Doesn't this seem weird for you?"
"What? A human massaging a human's back? No, of course. It's health! It's science!" I stated the obvious. "Don't mind them if they like they own you."
"Getting philosophical, aren't we?" I swear I heard him smirk behind me. "You know, you are so different today compared when I first met you."
"I am not different. It was just me. Should I become crazier already when I just met someone? No! There is time and I must adjust first."
He chuckled, "You know what? You're cute."
I swear I am not blushing.
"Y-you don't have to point it out. I-i mean, it's obvious." I said, hoping the subject to change. Thank god, he can't see my face.
He laughed even louder. We stopped talking for a while and closed my eyes.
As my eyes are closed, I started to hear muffled voices that I don't understand. I heard cries and sobs. I felt like someone is touching me except for the fact that Wooyoung is behind me. I felt cold. The same feeling before.
'What is that?' I thought to myself, still my eyes are closed.
"Are you okay?"
I opened my eyes and flinched when I saw Wooyoung's face in front of me, "You scared me!"
"I was saying something and you didn't respond, so I have to look at you and I see your eyes are closed."
"I was just...thinking something." I said and his face looked like he is not buying it. "It is true!"
He chuckled and ruffled my hair, "Okay, okay."
Oh, I should ask you about that restaurant!
"Wooyoung," I said. "Can I ask you a question?"
He nodded and looked at me, "What is it?"
"Did you eat last Sunday at a Korean restaurant?" I asked, not minding the sudden question I have for him.
He looked surprised, "Oh! Why did you know that? Wait- is that you that I bump into?"
"Yes. One thing that led me in asking this to you is because of that maniacal high-pitched devilish laughter from you." I said with a serious tone, trying not to laugh.
He tilted his head, "Is that a...compiment or what?"
"Both."
We both laugh and he even hit my shoulders. I got surprised and looked at him in disbelief.
"This kid." I mumbled as I saw the guys walking towards us.
"Let's go home! It's late." Yeri said, looking at her phone. "Jisoo, come with us. My driver will drove us home."
"How nice to be rich." I stated, making them laugh. Yeri came beside me.
She whispered, "I'm not that rich. My parents are."
"It's okay. As long as you are not using it for bad intentions." I whispered back, making her smile.
"I know my limitations." Then, she suddenly put her arm around my shoulders. "Let's go!"
~~~
"So, what do you think of them?"
I looked at her and smiled, "They're fun."
"You know, I'm so glad that I met you." She blurted out.
"Is this already sad hours or time for serious things?" I chuckled and she just shake her head, smiling.
"You know what, we're here!"
I looked outside and saw our house. I looker back at Yeri and thanked her, "Thank you! See you tomorrow!"
"Bye! Sleep well. Dream of Wooyoung!"
"Shut up." I am always dreaming of him, though.
I waved at her and stared at her car going off and vanished as it turn to a corner.
"I'm home!" I shouted as soon as I enter the house. "Mom!"
"Don't shout, I'm just in front of you!"
I chuckled and walked towards her, but I suddenly stopped. She looked...transparent? Is that even-
"You look weird, mom." I asked, shaking my head. Then, she came back to normal. Maybe I'm just tired.
"If I am weird just now, then you are born and raised weird." She told me, of course, with glares coming out from her eyes.
I chuckled, "I'm your daughter, so I don't need somebody to ask where did I get it from. I mean, it's quite obvious."
"Shut up and just go to bed." I smiled cheekily and was going to go upstairs, but stopped.
"Oh and Mom!" I said. "I don't need dancing classes. I am quite happy right now with my friends. Fortunately, I am friends with dancers and maybe as long as I bond with them, I'll improve my skills, I guess?"
"I knew it. You don't need to take a class, you were born a dancer. I mean, your father is a dancer. I am a beautiful dancer-"
"Cut this out, mom." I cut her off. "If only you didn't say that word 'beautiful'.
She chuckled, "Just go to sleep!" I nodded and smiled and went upstairs, straight to my bedroom.
I was just laying on my bed, feeling tired as always, when I felt my phone vibrate. I opened my phone and saw it was from Lucas.
