➱Dance Studio

@† Yunxi hyuk barely made it out to the door and he didn't make it at all past the end of the street. he rounded the corner and in the little sliver of space that recessed into a closed storefront, the sub found some refuge. his breath was fast and the beat of his heart raced even harder. his hands shook and the brick wall behind him became his support. what had he just done? his cheeks were wet and when they'd gotten to thay state he wasn't sure. he looked down, watching the salty rain taint the frozen concrete below him. he wanted to go back, apologize, take back what he'd said but he forced himself still. he'd shown his care, his love for the other man. he was done. done feeling pathetic. he wanted his big boi back, but he'd gotten his answer and he wasn't going to beg for the other man. he was pathetic, but not that pathetic.

@‡ Hyuk [H] he had to draw in a breath. had to stop himself before he broke apart then and there as hyuk's fingers caressed over yunxi's cheek and his warmth seemed to linger upon the master's skin. warmth that had seared it's way into yunxi's heart and warmed the ice that surrounded the master.
and with a meek nod, yunxi watched hyuk leave. seconds of silence had dispersed into minutes, til yunxi finally turned away. facing the mirror and collapsed onto his knees as quiet sobs raked and tore through the master's body.
he'll be fine. it was a cry he had needed. a cry and a result that he should've expected from so long ago.

@† Yunxi the kiss caught him off guard but he didn't react much, much too little too late; he smiled a bit and caressed yunxi's cheek gently for a moment
also... i'm sorry about the other day. i should've gone to check up on you. if you ever need anything still you know where to find me. i'll never say no if you need me.
nods and kisses your forehead before detangling myself fully and making my way away from the dance studio

@‡ Hyuk [H] watching the sub, the master drew in a shaky breath. he had to do something, say anything before he reached out. pulled hyuk in to then press a soft kiss against hyuk's lips. a soft kiss of thank you and farewell.
i'll... still see you around, yes?
the master asked, hope still twinkling in the master's eyes.

@† Yunxi hyuk smiled and settled into the master's embrace for a moment, to enjoy it for a bit; he bit back the tears stinging at his eyes and then made himself to shrug away from the hug, a nod of understanding at his head
i see... that's alright. thank you, yunxi. enjoy the rest of your day. i hope your rehearsals and performances go well. they will. you're a beautiful dancer. take care.

@‡ Hyuk [H] his eyes softened, watching the submissive before he then moved to pull the sub in. arms tightening around the sub as he pressed his cheek against the crown of the sub's head with a quiet whisper.
i'm sorry... i don't mean to make you sad. i just- there's really no excuse for acting the way that i've been acting. i won't stop you.

@† Yunxi the sub looked back at the master for a few moments and then looked down, tentative and nervous; he bit his lip and shrugged some, tired
i don't-- i don't want to feel like i'm chasing you anymore. it just feels pathetic. because i love being your friend and i love you, but the feeling of mostly being the one chasing you down to be my friend makes me sad.

@‡ Hyuk [H] pulled to the dance studio with the sub in hand, the master then stopped once the two were fully inside. fingers grasped at the sub's hands with a squeeze.
what's wrong...? tell me? please?

@† Yunxi [H] i have a feeling... that i'm getting more than i bargained for and that's a very good thing, isn't it?
the Sub followed after the Master, appreciative of the layers that formed a warm barrier between him and the chill of the evening; once in the studio he too removed the jackets that coated his slight frame and took a look around, the wall of mirrors adding a twinge of excitement to what he imagined would come; his eyes took to the Master and his lips twitched, head to one side
care to lead me through a stretch then, master? you are meant to be the teacher, after all, are you not?

@‡ Hyuk [H] hmm... very well then. so long as you understand what it is you're getting into, hyuk.
standing up, his fingers entwined with the submissive's own before he moved along to begin heading to the dance studio as planned. lips pressed together while he wrapped hyuk in his jackets to keep him warm before he too had slipped on his jacket whilst guiding the submissive to the dance studio.
once arrived, yunxi's lips pulled into a slight smile before he moved to pull off his jacket to rest against the wall furthest from the mirrors. the danseur and the submissive being the only two in the studio.
i'd recommend you stretch, hyuk.

@‡ Hoshi () I swear I made sure to change it fhkgdf >A< and I don't mind unless you'd like to drop any of them? I gave it open and was in the middle of replying to that one but my brain has halted lmao the remainder of my brainpower has gone into this lmao

I try not to but it might be too late.
*chuckles softly and nods*
He's too confident already. But at least he /can/ be humble about it
*hums a little and nods again, smiling softly at the way you seem to light up at my words*
Then it's settled, whenever you'd like and when we both have the time... we can have one on one sessions.
*smiles a little more at your compliment and shakes my head, laughing a bit*
Thanks, I'm glad you like it. Though if you keep complimenting me, I'm afraid it's just going to inflate my head.
Let's go grab our things and head out for lunch then.
I know a few places but, is there anything you're craving in particular?

@‡ Hoshi () that's a whole mood- LOL but no worries about your replies to me, alright? You can take your time on them if you'd like^^ also rip my reply- I should be asleep hours ago sooo uhhh excuse the lack of sense if there are any lmaoo

I'll do that, Hoshi. St. Van will be glad to know that you enjoyed your experience.
You're welcome to come back more often and if anything, I pretty much have permission to be here when Kwon's not in so if you want, I'll be down to open up the studios for you anytime you can't make it to the actual session.
*chuckles softly and nods a bit as I shuffle over to the wall, leaning lightly against it*
And thank you for saying that. Though I'm nothing too special.
Just lots of practice and the perks of being Kwon's guinea pig
*laughs a little and pushes myself up off the wall*
Ready to get some food in you, Hosh? I wouldn't want you passing out from exerting past the energy you didn't have from your lack of a breakfast.

@‡ Hoshi () Don't be sorry!! It's no worries, really^^ You've probably noticed I'm horrible with keeping up with replies by now lol just take your time!

*carefully watches you at the beginning, just a little worried that you'd trip and hurt yourself or something but relaxes as you get the hang of it, smiling a bit and relaxing completely myself*
*hums softly as I let the music partially take over me, letting my body move along to the music in correspondence to the steps of the choreography as we repeat it a few times throughout the session though I'm still looking back at you to make sure you're okay every now and then, smiling when I don't see anything wrong*
*notices your tiny hiccup in the movements from my peripheral vision but lets it go since we're nearly done with the session anyway, panting lightly as we stop and Kwon ends the class*
*turns to you with a little smile as I tilt my head slightly, stepping over to the side to grab us two water bottles, handing one to you as I catch my breath*
What'd you think of your first session, love?

[post deleted by owner]

@‡ Hoshi *leads you in and spends a few minutes setting up before starting to stretch*
You don't have to hide over there you know.
You can come and be social

@‡ Hoshi () haha I was wondering whether or not you forgot. Should we time skip the dance portion or like a section of it? lmao

*smiles a bit and shrugs slightly as we get into our spots*
We can decide on food after, hm?
Besides, I'm not picky so it's up to you, hun.
*hums a little as I face the mirror, smiling a little more, turning back to glance at you once more, sending a little wink, turning back to face the mirror again once Kwon starts the session*
Then I hope you keep up my dear~
*follows Kwon's moves somewhat effortlessly having helped him plan some choreography out every now and then but makes sure that you're doing okay every so often*

@‡ Hoshi *chuckles lowly and shakes my head at your little joke*
Hmm seems like a thought doesn't it?
Though if we were somewhere else I wouldn't mind taking that offer
*winks playfully before nodding a bit*
Then it's set then. Lunch after.
*looks up as the last few people come in and music starts playing*
Oup- it looks like we're starting, I hope you're ready?

@‡ Hoshi () kghdf I'm sorry this took me so long ;;

There's no need to thank me, love. And it's okay to be "not good" with people.
*smiles softly and nods a bit, chuckling again at your words, nodding to Kwon as he goes to finish setting things up*
Don't worry about that. None of us here are anywhere near pro-level, well except Kwon so-
*laughs a little and shrugs a bit, shaking my head slightly*
Well, I guess you can say that but yeah, it'd be more like our reward after today's session because honestly, Kown likes to try to make us sweat-
But other than that- you do need to eat as well so I'd like to make sure of that
*smiles a bit, leaning back against the wall as you start stretching, glancing around to see if anyone else has arrived*

@‡ Hoshi I'm sure they'll tolerate you just fine.
*chuckles softly and shakes my head a bit*
I'm sure you'll do great. But we'll try not to clown you too much, love
*winks playfully and hums softly, glancing at my watch*
Well, we still have a bit of time before we start so let's get you stretched before others either arrive or Kwon gets tired of waiting and just starts yeah?
And feel free to the snacks on the table at any time, should you need a break.
And since you didn't eat breakfast-
Would you like to join me for lunch after?

@‡ Hoshi *grabs myself a water bottle as you go put your things down, smiling a bit when you come back over, glancing around as you ask your question, quickly counting through people already here counting 6 people including us*
There are supposed to be 8 other people not including us.
I think a few of them are coming late from work but they should be here soon.
If they're not here soon, we'll probably just start without them and then I can introduce you to them later-
*goes through introducing you to everyone starting with the owner of the studio, "Kwon" (please don't @ me, I cba to think of 7 other people atm lmaoo soz), humming a bit when I'm done*
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me or Kwon
Uh- have you stretched yet?

@‡ Hoshi *spends most of my time-stretching my muscles as the group prepares to set up for the meet of the week*
*hums a little bit as I look at my watch, wondering if you would come as St.Van had said, groaning softly in satisfaction once I've felt relaxed enough from the stretches*
*gets up from the ground and heads over to the 'snacks and water' area, helping to set up the small table for the ones who always forget to bring their own water or who haven't eaten for the day, conversing with one of my friends as others start arriving*
*looks over at you when you come over to me and smiles warmly as I nod and offer my hand out to you for a handshake*
Hey, yeah, I'm Yunho. You're Hoshi, correct?
I'm glad you could've made it and it's really nice to meet you!
Here, why don't you put your things down and I'll introduce you to everyone?
*tilts my head as I gesture to the corner of the room where my things are*

@‡ Yeosang I agree.
*chuckles softly and nods a little bit*
I'll probably introduce you to them some time this week then.
*smiles softly and hums a little, handing you back the camera before picking up my water to take a sip, getting up while checking my watch*
Uhm- okay so I can do a few more songs or something and maybe we can find a place to eat at for a late lunch?
How does that sound to you?
And is there anything in particular that you'd like to have?

@‡ Yeosang Honestly, both?
*laughs a little bit and shrugs a little*
And I know you'll be fine.
But like I said, I want to make sure they're at least somewhat on their best behaviors.
*shakes my head a bit*
I love them but they can tend to not have boundaries

@‡ Yeosang You're so sweet
*chuckles softly and shakes my head a bit*
You can bring your camera if you want, Sanggie.
And you don't need to promise to be quiet or anything.
It'll just be us for a little bit until I can make sure they don't make complete fools of themselves in front of you.
And when you meet everyone, I'm hoping you guys would all get along and stuff

@‡ Yeosang *smiles softly and nods a bit*
Of course, anything that you need.
And I'd love to have you here and accompany me while I dance.
I suppose my friends will love you already
I'll probably need to come to one of the two dance meetings every week again if I'm bringing you here more often.
*chuckles softly and nods a little bit*

@‡ Yeosang *laughs softly and shakes my head a little bit*
I won't force you to dance, Sanggie, no worries.
*glances up at you, pausing a bit in looking at the pictures to flash you a happy smile before turning back to them*
You said they aren't perfect "technically" but I think they're perfect.
It's perfect as long as we love them, right?

@‡ Yeosang *smiles softly as I nod a little bit, moving over to sit beside you, uncapping a water bottle to drink quickly before putting them both down*
Thank you~
*carefully takes the camera and flips through the photos, a brighter smile forming on my face with each photo, loving how they all came out*
Wow-
I love them. I think they're amazing, Sanggie

@‡ Yeosang *smiles softly and nods a bit*
Okay, I'll be right back-
And then show me the pictures.
*goes to my bag, grabbing my wallet before heading out to find the vending machine, buying 2 water bottles before heading back*
Alright, show me, please~

@‡ Yeosang *smiles softly and nods, happy that you're at least satisfied with your pictures, loving the happy smile on your face*
I'm really glad that you like the pictures, Sanggie
Can I see them?
*tilts my head slightly before swallowing a little bit, remembering that I should drink some water during breaks*
After I get some water-
Do you want one?
