dαncє studíσ

@kím jσngín yeah, it does get a little crazy at times but since we’ve lived together for so long, we’ve gotten used to each other and have a routine. plus, it’ll be nice to have a real adult with us. maybe the younger ones will finally listen.
/scrunches my nose a little.
they will probably be in awe at first but then get used to you and probably begin to play around. those kids just can’t seem to stay serious all the time.
/chuckles softly and looks over to where you’re pointing before nodding my head eagerly.
mhm! it is!
/widens my eyes and lets go of your hand to wave both of mind in front of me.
oh no no, that’s fine hyung! thank you for the offer but that’ll be too much of a bother for you and plus! we have lots of snacks at our dorm. I just want you to be comfortable and get some rest.

@huαng rєnjun oh no i didn't think all of nct were in one dorm- i don't think there's a dorm big enough for that
but i know even just a handful of people can feel like too much sometimes
if you're sure you're alright with it though i'll take you up on that offer. i hope the others wouldn't mind either though
/murmurs as i walk with you, feeling you look at me and i glance over, smiling softly in return as i do so
i'm sure i could handle the noise
i'm hoping you guys aren't... awkward around me. i know because i'm older it tends to be a little too formal sometimes
/smiles a little apologetically before i motion down a street, pointing towards it and a tall building before i speak again
that's your dorm building right?
should i bring some snacks before we go in? as a small thanks at least

@kím jσngín /shakes my head furiously with wide eyes.
we are all split in our units and the dreamies' dorm has the least people. there would be room for you, I promise! and if there isn't, I'll make room.
/smiles at you and swings our arms before pursing my lips a little at your yawn and tilts my head.
of course, hyung. you look very sleepy but that's probably because it's late.
/looks up at the dark sky before looking back at you, smiling softly.
you won't cramp up the room. you might get annoyed though cause the dreamies tend to be loud when together...

@huαng rєnjun /smiles to myself when you come in closer, my hand wrapping around your own carefully before i step out with you, shutting off the light and closing the door behind us
aren't there already too many of you in just one dorm though? won't you dislike having yet another person in there?
/glances down at you as i ask, leading you out of the building and off to your dorm, squeezing your hand back in return for your own earlier
i wouldn't want to cramp any of your members' space any more than it might already be
/glances down the street before crossing to the other side with you, yawning behind my free hand for a moment before i excuse myself and glance down at you again
are you that worried that much about me?

@kím jσngín /smiles and wiggles my body excitedly at your words.
it would be a great honour if you did that for me, hyung. so thank you!
/gets up as well and grabs my backpack that I set down before showing you my dance and puts it on before beaming and running towards you, reaching out to hold your hand.
hyung, you can stay with me in the nct dorm if you want. there's plenty of space in the dream dorm and I think it's far more comfortable than sleeping here in the studio.
/waves my hand around the studio and squeeze your hand with my other one, looking over at you with a hopeful smile.
I mean, only if you want to of course!

@huαng rєnjun its no bother. these days i'm not as busy anyway. i'd appreciate the compaany so if anything you'd be doing me a favour
/when you assume i stay here because of my dancing i debate correcting you for a moment but just shrug after a moment
something like that
/already getting up, i pack my things into my bag tug on my hoody, zipping it up before i turn back to you and nod
of course. i'd feel better knowing you got home safe anyway
come on
/standing by the door now i hold out one of my hands to you, offering for you to hold as i also give you a small smile

@kím jσngín /beams and nods my head.
will do! and thank you, hyung. I really don't want to bother you though since I know you are busy and all.
/frowns upon hearing your words and looks around the dance studio, finding it way to uncomfortable to even take a nap in here and looks back at you, pursing my lips a little.
it doesn't look very comfortable to sleep here. you must really like dancing, don't you hyung?
/chuckles softly and brightens upon hearing your suggestion.
would you really walk me back?

@huαng rєnjun you'll keep me updated when you work on it more right? i'd like to see how it progresses for you
and if i can help at all you just have to ask and i'll try my best
/smiles back at you before i pause when you ask me about how long i was intending on spending here, glancing down before i pressing my lips together
i don't know... i was maybe going to fall asleep here or something
i don't particularly like going back to the dorm at the moment so i tend to sleep here when i can or couch surge when i don't feel too bad about it
/avoids your gaze as i explain, not saying what it is that stops me from going home, just knowing that i feel uncomfortable
but if you want to go home i can walk you to your dorm if you like?

@kím jσngín /holds my breath as I wait for your reaction and releases it upon seeing your reaction, smiling widely at your praise as my cheeks go pink as well.
ah, thank you, hyung! that makes me really happy to hear. I know it still needs some more work on but I'm happy you found it nice. and yes! I hope to make it longer and perform it for my fans eventually.
/beams and takes the water bottle, bowing in thanks before sitting back down in front of you and drinks from the water, humming in delight before tilting my head.
how long do you plan on staying here, hyung?

@huαng rєnjun /nods as i hear you explain, waiting for your go ahead before i press play on the music and watch you dancing to the music
/folds my arms over my knees again as i watch you, my eyes darting along your body as i keenly follow your movements around
/when you finish i turn the music down before i begin clapping for you, smiling from ear to ear as i look very proud indeed
that's such a great piece, renjun! you should totally make it longer and perform it at some point. like on a big stage. maybe even an end of year performance?
ah but you should really be proud. i know i am and i was just watching!
/offers you my water bottle now you've finished dancing, sure that you might want at least a sip after the routine you did

@kím jσngín /smiles at your words, feeling my cheeks go pink at the compliment and looks down shyly.
thank you, hyung. that really means a lot to me.
/looks up at you again and nods my head eagerly while beaming.
okay! and actually I performed a very small solo piece to ‘beauty and the beat’ with my members but I added some more moves to it.
/looks down at your phone and searches it up, making a soft “ah ha!” when I find it and smiles at you before handing over your phone and getting up, taking off my shoes and socks and sets them aside; walks to the centre of the room and quickly stretches my body before taking a deep breath and smiling at you through the mirror.
It’s not much. I don’t even think I made enough for half of the song and it’s more like contemporary ballet but you may start it.
/once’s the music begins, my body automatically moves to the beat of the song with light, fleeting moves; continues to spin and twirl with light hops on my feet with some added modern dance moves and ends with a pose as the rest of music continues to play in the background.

@huαng rєnjun hey don't say that. you wouldn't have made it this far if you weren't as talented as him
/shakes my head softly, giving you an encouraging smile to try and rid you of your little pout
i'll ask the managers about it and i'll see what i can do, okay?
i'd love to see what you have, renjun. is there a classical piece of music you'd prefer or would you like to do it without music?
/asks as i gesture to my phone, signalling for you to pick whatever you'd like

@kím jσngín /scrunches my nose and rubs my nape sheepishly.
yeah, but sungie is a better dancer anyways so I get why. I just don't want you to waste your time dancing with me when you could be with someone better.
/giggles as you ruffle my hair and leaves it messy on top of my head.
hmm, I have been doing some ballet. nothing too special really but I really enjoy it. I hope I can perform it for my fans one day. do you want to see what I have so far?

@huαng rєnjun /smiles again, brushing my forearm over my eyes before i push my damp hair back from my face, looking at you when you sit down again
yeah why not?
i mean i danced with jisung right? i'm not special, renjun. i just ike to dance and if i can dance with you and make you happy then of course i'm sure
/reaches over to gently ruffle your hair, laughing under my breath as i do so
do you have anything you've been working on lately? i'd love to see you dance

@kím jσngín /smiles brightly and bounces on my spot a little.
you're very welcome, jongin hyung!
/tilts my head and blinks before pursing my lips and smiling some more.
you did make me very happy. no matter how many times I see you dance, I am always so memorized.
/sits down after you and crosses my legs before leaning my elbows against my knees, freezing upon hearing your suggestion and widens my eyes.
you... you really mean that? I mean, I'll love that for sure! but with me? are you sure?

@huαng rєnjun /when you seem to stare at me for a while i smile again, wondering what's making you look like that still and it makes me a little nervous
/ends up laughing when you spring up so suddenly and show your appreciation, holding up my hands to show you its okay
thank you, renjun
/i always feel happier when someone enjoys my dancing, making me smile a little gratefully as i even bow my head towards you
at least i could make you happy with my dance, hmm?
/sits down properly, leaning back a bit as i pick up my water bottle and sip from it slowly, fiddling with the cap for a while
maybe, if you'd like, at some point we could do a performance together
would you like that...?

@kím jσngín /smiles and nods my head to your words, my expression showing clear signs that I’m a huge fan of you.
I’m glad he bribed you too.
/leans against the wall more comfortably and holds up your phone, waiting for you signal before pressing play.
/watches you with wide, bright eyes as you dance, completely memorized by your movements and expression, my eyes never leaving your body for a second as you continue to dance; even just watching you dance, I can feel the emotions through your dance moves and your expression.
that was-
/looks up at you for a moment before springing up from my sitting position and claps my hands furiously.
that was amazing, jongin hyung! I mean I knew it was going to be but wow- it was so much lovelier in person! I loved it, hyung. it was so beautiful.

@huαng rєnjun /smiles as you seem to compliment me so easily, though i appreciate how it sounds genuine and doesn't seem fake in the slightest
mhm its true. i had no interest in being an idol, just to do ballet but i'm glad my father bribed me to audition
/ruffles your hair gently when you praise my dancing, laughing softly before i nod my head several times at your question
of course renjun. just give me a moment and then press play, okay?
/straightening up i slide off my shoes and socks, leaving them to the side and i seem more comfortable in bare feet as i always am
/moving to the centre of the room i nod to you, the familiar music beginning to play over the speakers when you hit play, dancing as if i might be on one of the concert stages i'm used to rather than just a dance practice room
/even singing along to the song i make the same emotion fueled expressions i do for the fans, following through with the dance as i sweep across the floor, the song over only too soon as i'm left with my back to you
/in an instant i'm smiling though, turning to face you properly and come over, sliding down to my knees as i look over your face to gauge an expression from you
so? what'd you think?

@kím jσngín /blinks up at you before pursing my lips and nodding my head.
yeah, you’re right hyung. we can all improve. and yes, you have gotten even more amazing than you already were.
/widens my eyes slightly, my mouth gaping slightly and shakes my head.
I knew you did ballet but I didn’t know to that extent! that’s why your dance moves are always so fluid no matter what type you’e doing.
/glances down at the song and nods my head excitedly.
I have! and if that’s okay with you? I would really love to see it but o-only if you’re okay with it and it doesn’t bother you!

@huαng rєnjun /finishes warming myself up, crouching in front of where you sit and folding my arms over the tops of my knees as you looking through the music i have
i can always improve, renjun. we all can. hmm... like, don't you think i'm a better dancer now than i was when i first debuted?
maybe i wasn't bad but i've changed right?
/offers you a soft smile, my slight dimple appearing as i do so, eyes lighting up when you mention the ballet though and i'm happy to hear it
ah ballet? for real? you know this hyung used to do ballet when he was a kid right?
if i wasn't in exo i would have been a ballerino because its what i wanted to do until my father convinced me to audition
/scrunches my nose up when i realise i'm getting distracted, waving it off before i reach a hand out, scrolling and pointing to the song called 'i see you'
i still do some ballet and its in my solo, this song. have you seen it, renjun?
i can perform it now if you'd like

@kím jσngín yeah, exactly! all the hyungs who like to choreograph stay up a lot to perfect their moves.
/lets you tug me in with a beam and shuffles to the corner of the room, settling down on the floor with my legs crossed and tilts my head, carefully taking your phone.
hyung is a much better dancer than I am- I don't think I could tell you anything to improve on.
/giggles softly and scrolls through your songs before looking up at you with a purse of my lips.
well... I have been practicing my ballet skills. I haven't gotten a chance to showcase much of it yet but I like to practice it whenever I get a chance and I'm still learning.

@huαng rєnjun oh? why hyungs do that, renjun? i can imagine maybe taeyong being a little like that. am i right?
/murmurs before i smile a little when you pout and worry about trivial things, gently tugging you in a little more before i softly shut the door behind you
you won't be disturbing me, i promise
/motions for you to sit where you like, placing my water bottle back down with my things before i pick up my phone, holding it out for you to pick a song you'd like to see me dance to
i think you might help me a lot, renjun. you can tell this hyung where he needs to improve if you like
/suggests as i roll my shoulders, warming them up again after my little break, thankfully still feeling relative limber from my dancing so far
is there something you'd like to see me dance to in particular?

@kím jσngín /tilts my head, blinking a couple of times before pursing my lips and nodding my head.
I see. some of my nct hyungs do that too.
/my eyes lit up at your offer and nods my head excitedly before I can stop myself, smiling brightly.
really? you'll let me stay and watch you? ah, I don't want to disturb you though...
/pouts a little and rubs the back of my nape, my body deflating.

@huαng rєnjun ah, i see
/nods as i glance at your earbuds you point to, giving you a small smile before i notice you looking behind me and i glance over my shoulder too
/turning back to you and seeing your widened eyes i slowly nod my head, wondering how odd it must be to see an exo member on their own, like some wild animal
i am yeah
i wanted to practice on my own for a bit. not really to practice actually... ah, you know dancing is a stress reliever for me right? i thought i'd enjoy doing just that for a while
did you want me to walk you back to your dorm, renjun? you're welcome to hang out with me here for a bit if you like

@kím jσngín /straightens up when you walk over, beaming brightly at running into one of my exo hyungs and shakes my head before pointing to my ear buds.
I forgot my ear buds in the practice room. I could’ve gotten it tomorrow morning but I like to listen to music at night so I came here by myself to get them.
/smiles brightly and tilts my head in curiosity, peeking behind you to see if anyone else is there before looking back at you with slightly wide eyes.
is hyung by himself too?

[post deleted by owner]

@huαng rєnjun /looks up when i hear someone's voice, screwing the cap back on the top of my water bottle before i push my tired body up
hello renjun
/smiles a little as i greet you, walking over before i stop just a little in front of you, gazing down at you thanks to our sizable height difference
you're here late. is something wrong?
/asks as i almost immediately worry about you rather than myself, forgetting how tired i feel for the moment in case i'm needed by you
/glancing over your head i tip to one side a little, craning to see if any of the other members are with you but i don't see any
you're here alone?

@kím jσngín /wanders down the corridor of the dance studio, humming along to the song that is playing through my earbuds and walking with a little bounce in my step as I make my way to the exit of the building, having returned late at night when I realized I had forgotten my ear buds.
/all of the rooms I pass are dark saved for the one on the very end, which sparks my curiosity and causes me to pause mid-step before changing my direction and heading towards the studio, wondering who could be here so late at night.
/pauses my music and carefully peeks into the room through the glass room, my gaze falling upon you alone and brightens upon recognizing who you were and gently knocks on the door before opening it slowly.
jongin hyung?

@huαng rєnjun /with too many things on my mind i find myself unable to really focus on anything and it frustrates me, especially when it begins to affect my work
/so i turn to the one thing i know i can rely on at times like this, dance, slipping into one of the dance studio rooms its quiet thanks to the late time of night
/who knows how long i dance for, from songs of old albums of exo, to newer ones, to other groups and even ballet when i find myself missing that part of my life now gone
/the nostalgia and pushing myself a little too hard has me panting and half collapsing on the floor, curling up a little on myself before i grab the small bag i brought, dragging it over and using the towel inside to hide my face in, wiping at the sweat
/draping it around my neck i sip at my bottle of water whilst i sit there, exhausted but looking like the kind of tired a few nights of good rest doesn't really fix
/folding my arms over the tops of my knees i catch my breath slowly but surely, my fingers curling up over my own arms as my head bows gently to my forearms and i sit in silence
