Dance teacher, I want to date, not dance.
Ep.2 First Encounter
The man turned around, either because he sensed my presence or because he heard what I said earlier.
박지민
...Chae Yeo-ju?
채여주
Oh...are you a teacher?
박지민
Oh, you're the heroine. Nice to meet you. It's Park Jimin.
Teacher Jimin, who is cute yet sharp-looking,
He is really handsome.
채여주
Ah... yes, it's Chae Yeo-ju. Please take good care of me.
박지민
Okay. Since it's the first class, let's warm up a little and then start the class.
After doing some more stretching that I had done since morning, class began.
박지민
What genre is your major?
채여주
I'm a little better at street dancing, but I'm also good at modern dance.
박지민
Well...then, try creating a street dance and a modern dance to the song I play.
Creative choreography was the field I loved and excelled in the most.
The song that had to be danced to on the street was a foreign hip-hop song.
Since I practiced a lot in this kind of atmosphere, I was able to do it easily.
And then a modern dance song came out.
The lyrics of the song were, "I'm okay, I'm telling myself I'm okay."
The choreography suddenly came to mind. My story. Yes, I just need to express my story through dance.
That's how I started choreographing modern dance.
I expressed my emotions and my story through various techniques, such as turning flexibly and spinning in the air.
채여주
...Ugh...Ugh...
When the song ended, all I could hear was my own heavy breathing.
And then, Teacher Jimin applauded me.
박지민
Wow... that's amazing? This is my first time seeing choreography like this.
[Jimin's perspective]
Yeoju's street dance was technically excellent. But, what should I say...it lacked emotion.
So, at that moment, I thought, "Oh, I guess I'm just a student."
Yeoju's modern dance began, and honestly, I was very surprised.
The female protagonist's dance line was soft yet powerful, flexible yet firm.
And... there was something in it that couldn't be described in words.
And I felt it.
'Ah, this kid is different.'
[Yeoju City Point]
The teacher gave me a word of praise and then became lost in thought.
The compliment was just meant to make me feel good, and I was wondering if maybe my dancing was a mess.
Then, Teacher Jimin brought up the subject.
박지민
Yes. It's excellent both technically and expressively. The real class begins next time. This class is over.
채여주
Ah... I see! Thank you for your hard work.
After a brief greeting, I opened the practice room door and went out.
I didn't feel like changing clothes so I just went out. Before I knew it, it was night and I felt cold all over my body.
Perhaps because it was night, it was even more creepy.
채여주
Ah... I should have changed my clothes...
박지민
What are you doing?
When I looked around, Teacher Jimin was looking at me affectionately.
채여주
Ah... I guess I should have changed my clothes. It's a bit cold.
박지민
Should I take you? It's cold at night, and it's dangerous.
채여주
No, you don't have to do that because of me.
박지민
Um...okay. But if anything comes up, just call me on my number.
The teacher saved my number on my phone and said hello, then we walked away from each other.
It was night so everything was dark, but the alley was especially dark.
As I was quietly walking home, an old man suddenly approached me.
"Hey, come over there, girl."
채여주
Me...?
"Yeah, you."
"Who else is here besides you?"
"You look in good shape. I'll give you money. Do whatever you want?"
The man said that and chuckled as if he found it funny.
채여주
Ah... I don't need money.
Then, as I was about to pass by,
widely.
"Where are you running off to? Come hang out with me."
채여주
Ah... please don't do this... please...
Although I was always cheerful and confident, I was very scared at this moment.
At that moment, when the man was about to harm me,
"Please stop."
민윤기
"It's ugly."
