wooyoung huffed, blowing a wayward strand of hair out of his face.

maybe he shouldn’t have agreed to take on this challenge.

but who was he to reject spending more time with his crush, especially if he was desperate to prove himself? 

he glanced at you, a frown forming at how easily you flowed. like a never-ending river of interconnected moves, wooyoung found himself lacking.

(he reasoned that he was just not as experienced as you were, having joined this dance crew just recently.)

you seemed to sense his stare and you flipped around, shooting him an innocent smile. 

“let’s try this again!” 

he couldn’t really say no to you, not while you were beaming at him like he was your whole world. tucking his hair back under his cap, he smacked his face a couple of times, “i got this.” 

“no, we got this.” you emphasized on the “we”, making eye contact with him through the mirror.

he nodded, gaining strength at your words. together, you two danced in unison, self-made choreography from weeks back coming along nicely. 

the studio was near silent, save for you counting the beats and his sneakers squeaking against the cool wooden floor. he caught himself pausing, trying to copy your moves instead and internally berated himself for not being able to remember. 

“damn it!” he cursed under his breath and you stood in front of him, your hands lightly touching his shoulders, “hey, hey. deep breaths. you with me?” your eyes were trained on him while explaining the steps again, using your own analogy to help him ease back into the steps. 

wooyoung stumbled yet again at a particularly difficult portion, and he flopped down while whining, “this is too hard!” he pulled off his hat and swung it to the side, using the back of his to wipe his sweat away. 

you loomed over him before squatting down, a wry smile on your face,  “i mean, i thought you really looked good!” he peeked up at you, and he pushed himself up, in disbelief that his crush was complimenting him. 

“wait, really?” 

you burst out laughing, “yeah! truthfully, if you had given up at the first practice, i’d have lost my respect for you as a dancer. we all have something that we’re better at, but to try something new is another way of showing appreciation too, you know.” 

you lightly hit his shoulders and sat yourself down, facing him. “you’re doing great, really. plus with such a nice dancing line like yours, contempt looks pretty coming from you.” his heart skipped a beat, pumping to a rhythm only his truest intentions knew. 

“o-h! thank you for that.” he felt zings shoot up his arms when you playfully grabbed his hands, “you usually pick up on things fast, so i know you can do it again!” you pulled him up to his feet, urging him to continue with you. 

soon enough, his heart was dancing like butterfly wings.
