Chapter 26: A win for all

The announcer began to introduce the dancers from different teams and everywhere heat up as the dancers began their performance.

I watched with rapid attention as the dancers heat the stage with different intensive dance moves.

It was truly an iconic moment that when the half runner up was announced my heart skipped a beat.

"Dance brought us together...one of the judges began "Dance made our relationship stronger and that is why we agreed to enter this competition as the TVVNT crew and let everyone experience that through us..." so for today's runner up are as fellow

Congratulations to all the talented groups and our host Dangan Crew... Let's meet tomorrow for the final and the Gold Award...is too early to conclude cause tomorrow is also a day for surprises you never can tell.

Cheers comes from different corners of the crowd when the GALAXY CREW gathered they embraced Jimin tightly even though Hoseok was not left out as Mr. Ham-Hyuk gave him a warmth handshake that comes along with an embrace as a sign of gratitude.

I watched as the students were jumping in jubilation and Jimin signaled to me to come forward for more Jubilation.

I joined the jubilation even though is not yet the final at least we made it to the Top 2, I believe we are almost there all we need is to brace up our dance.

The trip back to school was as noisy as a market square and everyone must say something to themselves.

They applaud, hug and cheer themselves repeatedly.

Sitting beside Jimin since we two decided to ride along with the students leaving Hoseok to ride the car. Seated beside Jimin my heart can't contain how happy I am and how happy Jimin is also.

"Congratulations"...I said flashing a smile which he return.

When the bus arrived, the students gathered as Jimin addresses them.

The 25 students partaking in the competition agreed to pull all-night practice which came as a surprise to both Jimin and me. This they said will help them get back the lost point and if possible bring them the Gold.

Since they all agreed, Jimin decide to dismiss them at least they need their strength back for the night.

So giving them enough breaks since it's all night is the best idea, they need to replenish their lost strength and energy.

"I am taking you home Bella"..he said immediately after we left the practice room walking down the car park.

"You don't need to worry...I can walk myself home..I reply with a smile

"I insist Bella..and you are not going to object he said as he opened the front door for me.

"won't Hoseok get angry if we leave with the car without his consent"?

"Do you think Hyung is a bad-tempered person? He said closing the door and leaning his back facing me with hands akimbo.

"You don't have to worry okay, Hyung is not really who you think he is and I hope you come to understand that." He said with a wink.

I just stood still I don't want to think or process what he said " Jimin I will like to pull the all-night practice with the students."

I said, changing the topic immediately. The least I wanted now is any discussion of that annoying Hoseok.

Jimin's face relaxes slightly, his eyes widening and his eyebrows furrowing at my statement.

"Will you be okay? He asked and I nodded.

"Okay then... I will have to take you home to pick up some stuff for yourself right".

We drove off to my residence, the ride home was fun as Jimin and I chats our hearts out,  about work and the dance. he couldn't hold his laughter the moment I told him I am going to challenge him one day in a dance.

"Till that day comes" he chuckled as he pull over to the garage.

I flash a smile to him as I get out promising him to be back as quickly as possible. As if chased by lightning I zoom out along the lane straight to my apartment.

I dash straight into my apartment as fast as I could without noticing a figure sitting comfortably in the living room.

"Hello"... I said running into my room. I need a warm bath banging inside the bathroom.

Soon I was done with my bath, towering myself I rush to my wardrobe I need plain and comfortable clothes for the night and against tomorrow the final day of the competition.

Since I don't have time, I clad in my normal jeans and a crop top usual, I scrambled around my room picking and stuffing things inside my bag since tomorrow is the final day, and I am not coming back till everything is over.

I added some touchings not too nerdy on my face, picking my bag I run out of the room only to meet her and her load of whatever.

"Hey!! Bella"...came his voice and I lost it.

I never liked this Heechul of a guy, what the heck is he doing here again?

"Hey!!!.. I waved back trying as hard as possible to maintain a calm expression.

walking towards the door I noticed the dining table is already set up like we are having some king-kind feast making me wonder how long he has been here.

"Hey!!! Bella won't you come over for dinner"... Becky said snapping me out of my trance.

"No thanks..I am sleeping over at the school Becky"...I said with a stoic expression.

"That's unlike you, Bella"...

"The students are pulling all night practice and I am staying with them...and besides Jimin is waiting for me outside I better start going"... I said trying as much as possible to excuse myself without being rude.

"Ji....min...then let him come inside for dinner then you guys can go"... Becky said even though her face widen at the mention of the name Jimin.

"No Bella..some other time and besides we don't even have much time". I said with my eyes still fixed on Heechul who wrapped himself very close to Becky like a child who don't want to let go of the mother.

He looks hot today, not that he is not hot before but today looks off. He was dressed in black pants and jeans with a white T-shirt no nerdy look.

He wasn't wearing his usual glasses not even his frequent cap and his blonde dyed hair, no more die-hard fan of golden hair and the headphone he always wears as if his life depended on them.

Whosoever advised him today let the person keep up with the good work.

"See y'all"...I said opening the door and letting it dangle as I walked out of it as fast as possible.

I quickly run out of the room and found my way to the car park.

Jimin must be tired of waiting for me I said stepping up my steps.

Upon making it to the car I saw Jimin just standing and squinting and admiring the environment .his face was filled with laughter I call out to him.

"Jiminah!!...I called out as I approached him.

He looked up and his lips curved up with a smile.

"Sorry..I am keeping you waiting"...

"Don't worry I was prepared to wait and besides we are not in a hurry"..he said with his two hands inside his side pocket...

"Shall we? He said making way as if he ushering a royal guest. I nodded leading the way to the car.
