My Sky
Episode 2: Oh Boy
Definitely not this again...
Minho
Who's she?
Han
Hyunjin's sister
Felix
Yeah, I guess I do see the resemblance
Hyunjin
She wouldn't have been born if my parents had a little more self control.
Ok, that's enough for one day. I walked up to him and flicked his forehead.
Hyunjin
OW, mum said stop doing that!
Y/N
Ugh, you're such a mommy's boy
Hyunjin
I think I smell jealousy
Y/N
Nope,it's just your ego feeding you lies
Bangchan
Um...guys practice started three minutes ago.
Y/N
"See what you did." I shoved past him as I made my way to the others.
Hyunjin
Don't blame me
I took a spot beside Ryujin and tried to follow the dance steps.
Minho
Ok, so when you do this step, you might want to lean back. It gives you easy balance so that you don't fall. Let's try it out.
I slid to the side and leaned back trying to make sure I maintained my balance. Well, long story short, I failed and bumped into Ryujin.
Ryujin
Ouch, watch it.
Y/N
Sorry
Felix
Don't worry, Seungmin used to be a bad dancer too, but look at him now.
We both turned to look at Seungmin who was happily playing with a- was that a dolphin bubble wand stick. Nevermind, he broke it. He turned.
Seungmin
What?
Felix
Nothing
I.N
Just try it again. You might get it
He placed a hand on my shoulder and gave me a comforting smile
Y/N
Sure
Minho
Try to make sure your feet are straight when you lean back, it might help
I tried it again, taking Minho 's advice. A big grin spread out on my face when I managed to hold my balance and do the move.
Bangchan
That wasn't hard now , was it?
Hyunjin
I was hoping you'd fall
Y/N
"Well, sorry to disappoint you then." I tried. to stop myself from rolling my eyes.
Hyunjin
Don't worry, you've disappointed me enough times already. I'm used to it by now
Y/N
I want to kick you so bad, but I won't
Han
Because , you'd hurt one of our main dancers?
Y/N
"Nope, because I just got these sneakers and I don't want any Hyunjin germs on it." I smirked waiting for the scoff.
Hyunjin
You'd be lucky to have my germs
Minho
But then she'd get sick
Hyunjin's mouth hang agape while Minho and I high fived. We continued practice after that.
11:44 PM
Felix
Well, I think that ends practice for today. It was fun practicing with you guys
Seungmin
Ugh, I feel sore in fifteen different places
Changbin
I feel sore in sixteen different places
I.N
Well, I feel sore in seventeen different places
Felix
I feel sore in eighteen different places
Han
Nineteen different places. I repeat, I feel sore in nineteen different places.
Bangchan
Well, I feel sore in twenty different places and that's the number of parts my body has.
Minho
Stop trying to compete with each other. It's obvious, I've already won.
Minho
You guys get on my nerve. It means, I feel sore in twenty one different places.
I tuned them out as I lay on the ground, trying to recollect my thoughts and my breath of course.
Dami
Hey
I lifted my head as she landed on the ground beside me and handed me a bottle of water
Y/N
A lot, right?
Dami
Yeah, you okay? You don't seem okay.
Y/N
Just a slight breathing problem
Lisa
You should take breaks often.
I turned my head to face her wondering when she arrived.
Y/N
"Don't worry, I'll be okay." I shrugged, assuring her.
My attention shifted as my eyes landed on another person who was on the floor. She ran her hand through her hair before facing me.
Y/N
"Sorry, for bumping into you" I fiddled uncomfortably with the bottle.
She stared at me for a long time before a smile broke out on her face.
Ryujin
No biggie, it was a mistake after all.
Hyunjin
y/n, we're heading out. You should too, it's late.
Y/N
I'm staying a little bit. I've got some dancing to work on.
Hyunjin
But it's late and-
Y/N
"And I've got to work on my dancing."
Hyunjin
You can't be here alone
Bangchan
Don't worry, I'll be around. I've got to check on something.
He looked uncertain but relaxed after sometime.
Hyunjin
Just stay safe, okay?
Y/N
"Aww, you're worried about me." I cooed.
Hyunjin
Nope, mum's going to have my head if anything happens to you.
I.N
Wow, smooth save, Hyunjin.
I chuckled when Hyunjin glared at him. They later left the studio while having an argument about who was taller.
Ryujin
Y/N
I turned to her when she called my name.
Ryujin
We're going. Don't stay late okay.
Dami
Or, I'll come here and drag you to the dorm by your ear.
I winced when I realised how painful that was
Y/N
"Don't worry, I won't." I waved them as they exited.
Bangchan
I've got to do some stuff in the vocal room so I'll be there if you need anything.
Y/N
"Sure" I waved him off.
I made my way towards the speaker and turned it on, filling the room with music as I tried to remember the dance steps.
Smile.....nail your expressions.....maintain balance......be perfect......
I kept on practicing for who knows how long that I didn't see someone open the door.
Bangchan
y/n
Shocked and startled, I turned to face the door. Only, I turned too fast and ended up falling down and twisting my ankle.
Y/N
"Ow" I winced as I tried to stand up, hurting my ankle more.
Bangchan
I'm so sorry
He made his way towards me and tried to lift me off my feet.
Bangchan
I was just coming to check up on you.
Y/N
it's okay
He placed one hand around my waist and the other on my shoulder as he tried to help me to the nearest seat.
Bangchan
There should be an ice pack around here. Be careful.
He left and returned minutes later, with an ice pack, a bottle of water and a medicine, I'm guessing was a pain killer.
Bangchan
Take this.
He handed the bottle of water and pain killer over to me, before kneeling down and taking off my shoes.
Y/N
"What the heck are you doing?" I flinched the moment his finger made contact with my leg
Bangchan
Helping you, now stay still.
He iced my ankle before reaching for a bandage in his pocket and covering my feet in bandage.
Bangchan
The pain should subside by tomorrow. I'll try to talk to the trainer and explain stuff.
He gave me a comforting smile in an attempt to cheer me up exposing his dimples.
Bangchan
Let's get you to the dorms, shall we?
He squatted down and patted his back. My eyes widened in horror when I realised what he was trying to imply.
Y/N
"Yeah, no. I think I'm fine walking." I rejected his offer.
Bangchan
Come on, I'm trying to help you here. Just think of it as a piggy back ride. I bet Hyunjin used to give you a lot of those.
Y/N
"Well, I do remember getting onto his back once and shouting 'carry me servant'. But I'm not doing that with you." I tried to back away.
Bangchan
Look, it's getting late, you need to get home.
I was lost in thought, weighing the pros and cons until I finally agreed.
Y/N
"I guess so." I responded before climbing onto his back. I hooked my hands around his neck and he tightened his hold on me.
I buried my face in his back as I took in his cologne which smelt like tropical fruit. I shut my eyes, feeling exhausted as we exited.
I felt a drop of water splash against my cheek causing me to look up. I realised it was drizzling and was increasing by the second.
Y/N
"Chan." I mumbled, feeling exhausted.
Bangchan
I don't have an umbrella. Sorry
Y/N
It's increasing. It'll be a full downpour soon.
Bangchan
Should we wait under a shade till it stops
Y/N
We don't have time.
Bangchan
So you want me to.....
Y/N
"Run, Chan, run." I yelled as the full downpour began.
And just like that he sped off, making sure to cling tighter to me.
