Chapter 6

Life after the holiday was normal. Andee and Kibum spent the rest of their school holidays shopping and hanging out with their friends. Tomorrow, a new school year starts. And in fact, there will be more activities for Andee to look forward too. She also received new year messages from everyone she knew, and its a surprise to find those included text messages from the boys she met in Bali.

Andee’s POV

In early January..I entered the dance school with a slight nervousness but I’m really looking forward to the dance lessons. I approached the reception counter, addressing myself and my intentions. Then, I was given a pink registration form and sat comfortably in one of the seats. Bi Oppa said I should have just joined the school’s dance team. I told him that I just wanted to enjoy dancing and doesn’t want to get involve in competitions. Those in the school club are aspiring dancers and enjoy competitions. I prefer to do it for interest and relaxation. Today I was determined to join a young adult dance lessons for leisure. Omma was happy. It made her say, “Is my daughter going to be the next Hyori?”. My mom was being random.

I returned the completed registration form and waited for the response from the lovely girl behind the counter.

She gave me a smile and said,“Andee-shi, the young adult lessons will be commencing in an hour’s time. It’s a coincidence that the class you are joining for starts today. Would you like to start today or next week?”

“Oh unnie, today would be great! Thanks.”

“I’ll process your application in a few minutes and you can have a look around the building while waiting for class. The class will be on level 4, 2nd room from the left. Enjoy your day!”

“Thank you very much.”

I took my Gucci duffle bag and was about to head for the stairs. I was observing the environment of the building when I noticed that there was a small cafeteria. How nice. I entered the cafeteria and was greeted by a warm aroma of coffee. I got myself a mocha frappucino and was climbing the staircase to the 2nd floor.

There were a few lessons going on at that hour. I heard a familiar song, sang and danced by DBSK, “Rising sun”. My legs walked me to the room the song was coming from. The room was large, but there were only less than 10 occupants. Those were children actually, the oldest should by around 7 years old? Oh gawd these children were so skilful. The male adult in front of the class should be the instructor. He was wearing capris and had a cap on. I was mesmerized by the fast movements when the group danced in total harmony to the music. I do not know how long I was standing at the door but I was only brought back from the aweness when the music stopped.

“Ok that’s it for today. That was a great performance I must say. Continue practising and I’ll see all of u again next week.”

He was giving applause to the children and they flew to him, giving group hugs. Aww that’s so sweet.

“Annyeong kyeseyo, Teacher”

I watched as the students ran out of the room. They are so cute and playful.

“I couldn’t help but noticed that you were standing there”

I turned my head to the voice, which was coming from inside the room.

“Ya! Is that yunho-oppa?!!”

“Andeeshi? U finally recognized me huh? How are you?”

“Im fine I guess. U teach here?”

“Been teaching since I graduated from high school last November. What are u doing here?”

“Erm.. just checking out a certain hot teacher.”

“Huh?”

“Ya pabo. I’m here for a dance class. What else?”

“Here to join my class? There is still vacancy if you want.”

“Ya do I look like I’m 7 years old to you? I’m turning 17 ya yunho oppa. Hehehe”

“Haha I was just kidding.” Yunho grinned.

At that moment, someone in white beanies, white shirt and dark denim pants entered the room.

“Yunho hyung! I just finished teaching my class. Wanna grab….…Andeeshi?”

“Jaejoong???” I exclaimed.

“Hey jaejoong you look so shocked. Andee is just here for her dance lessons.”

“She’s here for your class? Ya but your class is for….”

I patted his cheeks…

“Yes I’m here for dance lessons but not from yunho oppa.”

“Oppa?”

“Hahha.. hey I am a year older then her.” Yunho answered for Andee.

“But why doesn’t she call me jaejoong oppa?” He pouted.

“Cause you don’t deserve it.”

“Ya you!”

The two ended up chasing each other in that large dance room.

“Will both of you stop?” Yunho was sitting near the front of the class crunching his knees.

“Yunho oppa help!! Jaejoong is a bad guy.”

I came running towards yunho oppa and sat at his side.

“Ya hyung leave her alone. She’s such a puppy.”

Jaejoong finally gave up chasing. He was panting heavily.

“I’ll get u someday.”

“Not if there’s yunho oppa to save me from the evil jaejoong.”

“Ya!”

“Oh it reminds me. What is evil jaejoong doing here? Teaching students too?”

“He teaches piano for beginners. U wanna join his class?”

“What? like I have nothing better to do!”

“Andeeshi! You are too much!!”

I looked at my watch.

“Oops..im gonna be late for class if I dun hurry. It’s nice to see you guys again.”

“Do you want me to accompany you?” Yunho was about to stand.

“Nah not important. I can find my way. Bye”

I ran out of the room and rushed to the 4th floor.

Jaejoong’s POV

“Hyung, do you like her? You know as in …”

I sat down next to yunho.

“Why?”

“Erm..i dunno.. it’s just that I’ve been thinking about her since we came back from the holidays. I’m just so happy to see her today. But.. she loves to bicker with me all the time.”

“Hey.. I treat her like my dongseng. I knew about her earlier than you think.”

“She used to like Micky hyung right?” I guessed.

“Huh? How did you know?” Yunho turned to me, alarmed.

“I figured. You and Micky hyung keep exchanging glances during the holiday. And since Micky was from her school, I guess such things are a possibility since she was so awkward when we met at the lobby on the first day. I mean, Micky hyung was one of the most good-looking guy in Seoul High.”

“Hahaha.. i didn’t mean to keep it from you. You know how close I am with Micky. Micky was feeling guilty about hurting her when he chose to date Lee Jung Eum. It’s not that he hates her though. She’s a nice girl. I hope she finds her prince soon. She deserved it, don’t you think?”

“ Am I good enough to be her prince??. Ya! what are you thinking about jaejoong?!”

I didn’t respond to Yunho’s question.

Instead I said.” I haven’t contacted Micky for the past few weeks. Did you?”

“Yeah I did. He has his own issues to settle. Jung Eum’s parents want them to separate. They think it isn’t appropriate for her to have relationships right now. Micky hyung is really upset. Furthermore, Jung Eum have no choice but to obey her parents. Micky is now forcing himself to get busy with his work to get away from it.”

“That’s not good to hear. I hope he’ll be okay. Let’s meet up soon. All the 5 of us. And hyung, does Andee know about this?”

“I have no idea.”
