Mistakes

Amazed is how I feel when Stray Kids finish their performance and leave the stage. I haven't been truly captured by music in that way because I make music myself, but at this moment I was deeply impressed by both their performance and the music.

Minho walks down the steps to come backstage and I unknowingly stare at him. He must have felt me staring because he looks up and stares back with a cocky smile on his face. I look away quickly hoping that he wasn't smiling at me (he was) and that he hadn't notices me at all. Afraid that he'll come to talk to me, being the introvert I am I quickly rush out of the venue and find our van in the parking lot. The reporters have now moved to the front of the venue thankfully and didn't catch me running to our van.

Our Manager is sitting inside already and I take a seat in the back.

"Where are the boys?" he asks turning around from the drivers seat

I let out a quiet gasp realizing I left them inside without saying anything. Right at that moment the van door opens and Hawon and Seungwon come in.

"Why'd you leave so quickly!?" Seungwon says

"Sorry" I reply feeling guilty that I left them without saying anything

We begin to drive away from the venue and I strangely begin to look out the window in search of a glance at Minho. I quickly catch myself and stop.

"Why would I try to sneak a glance at him?" I think to myself deeply

Reaching the dorms we get out and once inside I head straight to my room to practice for tomorrows dance practice with Minho. My manager had gotten the address to Stray Kids Dance Practice room and tomorrow the only thing on my schedule was to practice for the award ceremony.

I begin to dance in my room and before I know it a pain in my leg begins to hurt and I fall backwards on to my bed making a loud noise.

A few seconds later a frenzied knock on my door startles me and before I know it a worried Hawon enters my room and stands in front of my bed.

"You okay?" he asks worried

"Yeh" I answer sitting up

"Teach me the dance" he says suddenly "Then we can practice together"

"Okay" I say nervously getting up

"If I dance slowly then I shouldn't have a problem with any pain in my legs " I think quietly

I begin teaching him the different parts of the choreo and then we reach the dreaded part. Everything was going well until Hawon is supposed to push me back and I'm supposed to run back into his arms. Instead of explaining that part to him, I rush into his arms finding us both on the ground with me on top of him. I'm reminded of Minho and I begin to laugh pulling myself off of him. Hawon continues to lie on the ground as I sit beside him laughing. He stands up first and lends me a hand which I take and stand up.

"Sorry" I apologize while smiling

"You seem happy" he says looking down "Good memories with this dance?"

I shrug and smile again.

"I'm leaving" he says "Let's practice later"

He leaves the room with a strange look of disappointment but I don't notice as I go back to focusing on controlling my facial expressions when in pain. The sincerity in Hawon's eyes going unnoticed.
