Chapter 10

**Ye-Jin POV**

I was so pissed when she was degrading me, so I was so ready to fight her. I tell Jason to put me down and I hop over to Michelle with my good foot.

But when she started talking about my parents not being there for me during my childhood, I broke.

I dropped my head low and started to cry.

JK: ENOUGH

I got startled but I still held my head low and cried.

Michelle: Why did you yell babe??

One thing led to another and the last thing I heard was.

Jason:... Let's break up.

I got surprised and looked up at him in a whisper.

Ye-Jin: W-what are you doing Jason? Why are you doing this?

Jason looks down at me and whispers back.

Jason: I've had enough of her.

Michelle: What do you mean? You cannot break up with me like that, you love me!

Jason: I've never loved you, I only started dating you because you would always follow me around and the boys wanted me to date you but now I'm over it... so please never contact me.

Jason picks me up again and walks to the isolated room.

Michelle: Jason!

She calls him a few times but Jason just ignored her.

** Isolated Room**

Chris: So how long will it take for your ankle to feel better?

Ye-Jin: The nurse said at least a week...

Isabelle: But the comp is next week! will you get recovered by then?

Ye-Jin: I don't know... I'm so sorry this happened. I should've listened to you guys and taken a break.

Jordan: Hey it's fine, you just have to be careful and not use that foot so you can recover quickly and you can participate in the competition.

Mr.Soo barges in and runs to us.

Jason: Woah Mr.Soo calm down...

He was sweating and panting like crazy.

Mr.Soo: W-where is she, where is my little dancer?

Ye-Jin: Mr.Soo~ I'm not that short.

Mr.Soo: oh no! What happened!

Ye-Jin: I sprained my ankle, the nurse said that it will take at least a week to recover.

Mr.Soo: Ahh it's ok, just rest...

Ye-Jin: Will Jason and I still be able to do the duet?

Mr.Soo: Well it depends on your condition. How far did you guys get to?

Jason: Not far, we only have the first 8 counts down.

Ye-Jin: Yeah because apparently, modern dancing isn't Jason's forte.

Jason: Hey! At least I can breakdance better than you.

Mr.Soo: Guys, stop it...

Jason and I stopped arguing and looked at Mr.Soo.

Mr.Soo: Now because you guys are not far into the choreo, we can have two other people do it.

Jason: Let's have Jordan and Sophie do it, they know the choreo as well as us...

Ye-Jin: Plus, they are way better at ballet and modern dancing than us.

Jason: What do you mean, I can do a very good Shenae.

Ye-Jin: Flapping your arms in the air and running in circles doesn't really count as good Shenae's.

Jason: You think what you think, and I will think about what I think...

Ye-Jin: Fine, you do you boo...

**Time Skip**

**1 week Till Competition**

We have been practicing day and night for this competition.

I am finally off my crutches and on an ankle brace.

Ye-Jin: Now, Jordan, grab Sophie by the waist and lift her in the air.

Jason: A bit higher man, like this...

Jason surprisingly takes me by the waist and lifts me in the air.

He twirls me around twice and then slowly brings me back down.

We kept eye contact for a few seconds while he was putting me back on the ground.

Jordan: How is this Jason?

Jordan interrupts us and we break our hold.

Ye-Jin: C-can shows us again, remember this is the highlight of the routine.

Jordan tries it again but almost drops Sophie.

Jason: Hey are you guys ok?

Sophie: Yeah we are fine.

Jason: Jordan, use your core strength and hold her up, not your arm strength. It's easy to lose balance with your arms.

Jordan nods and tries again.

Jordan: Ok, Sophie let's give it one more try.

Chris: You can do it Jordan!

Isabelle: We all believe in you!

Jordan holds Sophie by .her waist

Jordan: One...Two...Three... and up!

He picks Sophie up with all his strength and spins her around and then brings her back down.

Ye-Jin: YAY, you did it!!

Jason: I knew you could do it!!

Jordan: Ok ok we can celebrate tomorrow once we win, but for now, let's continue the dance.

**time skip**

**competition day**

We were in the green room getting ready for the competition.

Chris: Here Ye-jin, drink this, you will feel relaxed.

Chris gives me some tea to keep me calm.

Ye-Jin: Mmmh, thank you, Christian.

Chris has been helping me a lot with my leg and comforting me in any way possible. I can tell that he is getting closer to me.

And I can tell that Jason is getting angrier day by day because whenever I hang out with Chris, Jason has this look on his face... it's kind of like he is bothered by Chris hangout out with me.

Mr.Soo: Ok guys we are next, is everyone ready?

Everyone: Yes sir!

Mr.Soo: Ye-jin, are you ready to perform? Does your ankle hurt? Will you be able to perform without the brace?

YJ: It hurts, but I can do it.

Mr.Soo: Are you sure? You can back out and Jordan can do the flip.

Ye-Jin: No, it's fine. Plus he needs to save his energy so he can do the spin for the duet.

Mr.Soo: Ok, the nurse and I will be backstage waiting for you so you can treat the ankle right away.

Ye-jin smiles slightly and nods.

Announcer: Now let's welcome **** high school!

We start dancing and I was getting ready for the flip

I was hiding behind Jason and Jordan waiting for my cue to do the flip.

Ye-Jin: Ok come on Ye-Jin, you can do it…you don't have any pain.

I run to start my flip... I'm up in the air...

And I land it.

But the thing is, I land on my sprained leg... I don't think I will be able to walk on it for another week now.

We finished the routine and go backstage.

I was sitting on the stairs because I was not able to stand up.

Chris: Here, climb on...

He bends down and gives me a piggyback.

The nurse rushes towards me with an ice pack and my brace.

Nurse: Christian, help me take her shoe off.

He slowly takes my shoes and socks off.

My ankle was so swollen that it turns blue. The nurse puts ointment on my ankle and puts a brace on it.

I try to get up to see Jordan's and Sophie's duet.

Ye-Jin: Ouch...

Nurse: We need to get you a wheelchair.

Ye-Jin: Oh no, it's fine, I can walk.

Chris: You can barely stand, Ye-Jin, I think it's best to stay off your foot.

Ye-Jin: I'm fine Chris, just carry me to the audience and I will be fine.

I say that while taking the brace off.

Chris: Are you sure?

I nod and he was about to pick me up.

Jason: Stop! Put her down!

I turn to Jason.

YJ: What why?

He makes Chris put me back down and takes my ankle brace from beside me and puts it back on.

Jason: You are so stubborn…

He puts the brace on but I try to take it out.

Ye-Jin: Yah... dude, it's my ankle, not yours and the brace is uncomfortable…

He grabs my hand and holds it.

Jason: Yeah but you hurt makes me feel uncomfortable.

Ye-Jin: Huh? What do you mean?

Jason: I cannot see you hurt... by someone or something. And I cannot see you with other guys anymore.

Ye-Jin: Huh..? Why are you saying this all of a sudden?

Jason: You don't get it, do you... I love you Ye-jin ah.

Ye-Jin: W-w-what?...What did you say?

Jason: I love you...
