chapter nine

"Did you know? Did Kyu leave the group chat? And also, I can't message him! He blocked me" Tzuyu said as she hops backward-looking at me while I was just walking normally regretting what I've done at Junkyu
I stopped walking making her also stop from walking. She raised her eyebrows "Chami? What's wrong with you? You've been silent since we just started walking, why?" She questioned
With my lips pursed, I look into her eyes. "It's all my fault," I said as I was smacked in the head by my bag.
Tzuyu approached me and said, "What happened?" She was gazing at my body.
"Well, he confessed to me, but I rejected him, and I-I chose Soobin instead," I answered in one breath, then forced my lips into a line.
"You know? You're stupid," she reprimanded me.
I looked at my fingers "Yes, I am! I'm in love... with a boy... who already h-have a girlfriend and his girlfriend are my enemy" I started to feel bad for myself
She sighs "Do you love Soobin that much?" I just nod. "Okay then!" She simply said while smiling but, on the inside, I can saw her worry, so I pretend I don't know that she is worried about me
I widened my eyes at her "Really? Thank you Unnie!" I thanked her by hugging her
A few minutes later, I saw Yedam and Doyoung were walking at the school. I went at them then I cleared my throat "H-how's Junkyu?" I asked them
Yedam had a worried expression on his face. "He's not fine; he kept shouting at us to leave for reasons we don't understand," he shrugged.
Doyoung patted my shoulder, "He's stubborn now Cham," he said, shaking his head in worried.
I exhale a sigh. "Well, I was about to say s—," I attempted to apologize, but someone cut us off.
"Hi, Oppas!" I said as I watched Nancy welcome Yedam and Doyoung.
Doyoung rolled his eyes at her, saying, "Stop flirting with us, bijj! And you're older than us, so you can't call us Oppa" He said as he folded his arms across his chest.
"Babe!" I heard another voice. I looked at the person's face, and it was Soobin.
I tried to go, but Tzuyu grabbed my hand and said, "Stay if you want to get him."
Soobin noticed me and said, "Hi!" He greeted us with a broad smile. His dimple has reappeared, indicating that my attraction factor has returned.
Tzuyu prodded me, and I understood what she meant, so I immediately replied, "Hello!"
Nancy observed us smiling at each other and tried to break our silence by changing the subject. "Well, let's go? Before we're late," she said, and we just nodded.
"Tsk this girl " I rolled my eyes
"Today I'm going to divide each two of these classes. The project is all about Modern Dance Standards, and you will dance three types of modern dance which mean Slow Waltz, Tango, and Quick-Step. Ok the boys will pick only one paper inside my hat. I already wrote the girl's name. For example, Soobin picks this paper and it's Tzuyu then she will be his partner. Just for fair," the teacher explained.
Tzuyu raised her hand. "Sir! Kim Junkyu is absent because he had a headache" Tzuyu stated, as the teacher just nod.
Nancy rolled her eyes. "Soobin must be mine!" She shouted out of the blue that made us startled.
The teacher glared at her. "Relax Miss Mcdonie! Don't be too excited!" He snarled.
Then Nancy was just silent in embarrassment, as I sniggered at her. She glared at me and clenched her fist.
While the boys were picking, I remembered Junkyu, then Tzuyu noticed me. "You seem subdued today are you okay?" She patted my back.
I looked at her and pouted. "I'm worried about Junkyu" I said, as I cupped my cheeks.
She tapped my shoulders. "Soobin was there, right? You said you like Soobin more than him" She pointed Soobin by her lips.
I giggled. "Yeah— right" I answered.
"Ok let's listen now," She said. I just nod.
We waited and waited. Until Tzuyu founded her partner till... "Soobin it's your turn" The teacher said then he went in front to pick
Nervousness running around my body. 'I think I don't have a chance... I swear if I'm the one I will marry him' I taught to myself.
"Kim Chami" He said reading at the paper
I got gob smacked while blinking my eyes repeatedly. I mean I didn't expect him to be my partner though.
"Wait no!" Nancy shouted as she banged the table while looked at me with range. I just shrugged my shoulders by teasing.
Soobin went at me. "I'm going to your house after class" He reminded me and went back to his seats.
A couple of minutes later~
The bell rang. I rest my head and look at Soobin was preparing his stuff. 'Go get him!' I talked at myself.
I stand up and went at him. "Let's go to the cafe?" I requested him.
"Sure!" He immediately agreed.
Me and Soobin were finding seats. Until we found one, we seated
He smiles at me. "Thank you for being my friend Chami, you're the best!" He thumbs up.
"F-friend, yeah friend— you're well-come," I said dejectedly. My heart stabbed while hearing that. Then we continued eating our food
Timeskip after class~
The bell rings. I packed my stuff then Soobin went at me. "Let's go?" He waited at me.
"Okay!" I answered.
We arrived at my house, then Soobin entered. "Is there anybody inside your house except you?" He questioned.
I shook my head. "Nah! There's no one here. It's mine, I'm the owner of the house now" I answered.
He let out a big sigh. "Ok let's start?" He said as he started stretching his body
"Ok let's start the stretching first," I said as I tied my hair into a high ponytail and did a head rotation.
Soobin P.O.V.
I'm nervous when she said that she's the only one in her house. Then I look at her, the ponytail tied suits her especially the baby hairs behind her face. Then her sweat was falling while she was stretching her leg- 'Soobin what are you thinking? She's your friend! I think?' My side was talking then she noticed me.
"Why are you not stretching?" She asked.
I shook my head. "Nothing!" I simply answered while placing my hand in my waist pretending that I stretched my body all the time.
Gosh I'm having a hard time...

"Ok let's start from the slow waltz" I rub my forehead.
He rubbed his temple. "I haven't thought any choreography yet" He sounds stressed.
"Well, we wait after the brains will work" I sat down.
He snapped his fingers. "Aha! Let's watch the video that teacher gave us an example and just borrow a little choreography so--" He tried to finish but I cut him.
"No! It's cheating! There's no originality!" I shouted that made him flinched.
He sighs. "Well okay let's think," He said as he seated.
It's about 3 hours we practiced the slow waltz. I sit and stretch myself. "Gosh! I'm so tired!" I groan.
Soobin took out his phone. "It's almost 10 pm, I need to go now" As he stands up.
I nod. "Ok! We finished the slow waltz anyways. It's hard to squat and bend in 3 hours, especially added from your height, you're so tall" I replied that cause him embarrassed.
He rubs his neck. "Sorry for being tall" He apologized.
I chuckle. "It's ok haha! Let's eat first!" I said as I grabbed his wrist.
We reached the kitchen. I showed him his seat, and I went to the fridge, to grab my leftover donuts.
I gave it to him. "It's not that cold hehe"
"It's okay! I love donuts anyways" He said as he munches the food.
I snapped my fingers. "Oh right! I have vanilla ice cream left!" I went to the fridge and open the freezer and took the ice cream.
"Here you go!" I said as I handed the Ice cream.
"T-thanks!" He thanked me.
After that, we finished eating and Soobin packed his things to go home. "Bye! Ch--" He cut off by the thunderstorm by flinched.
"It's raining heavily— oh! I have an Umb--" I tried to finish my sentence, but he cut me.
"N-no Uhm my house is far from your home"
