✯ Dance Studio

/peeks in and sees no one/
/went to the stereo and turns on music/
/dances to SNSD's I got A boy/

@Kim Jongin /shakes head
Nah, it's okay. /smiles
I mean, I don't own the place so you have every right
to be here too. /laughs lightly
/looks at you and smiles, seeing you comfortable in the dance studio

@Bae Joohyun /Shakes head and leaning my back against the mirror/
It's okay. This place... Feels like a home sometime.
Like a place for me to breakthrough my problem.
/Looks at you/ I should be the one to say sorry.
I disturb your morning routine.

@Kim Jongin Oh, I understand. /nods and smiles gently
/looks at you, thinking how dancing must've been a huge
part of the past that you have forgotten
Is it okay for you to be here? I mean, this is a
dance studio after all. Would you like to go somewhere else?

@Bae Joohyun Yes, I'm glad too.
Like it's been years since that accident happened.
/Nods/
Because just don't feel like dancing.
Whenever I started to dance, it makes me
feel weird...? I don't know how to explain it.
It just no for me.

@Kim Jongin /nods
That's good to hear /smiles
/looks at you
So that accident hindered you from dancing?
But what do you mean by 'kind of'?
You still dance, don't you? /grins a little

@Bae Joohyun Sometimes... Not every time though.
But since I'm good and healthy now,
I think it won't be a problem.
/Nods/ It caused me a permanent injury,
Uhm- So I don't do dance anymore.
Kind of.

@Kim Jongin /laughs
Those stories were sometimes based on facts too, you know.
/nods/ I think that's good though, that you're not being
held back by the past /smiles
/looks at you and tilts my head/ Why not?
Well, we are in a dance studio.

@Bae Joohyun Yah- /Laughs a bit/
Drama is a drama though.
I'm not sure whether I'll get my memories back or not.
I mean- It's been years so I'm not sure.
/Looks at you/ Used to. But not anymore.
Why?

@Kim Jongin You know some of those dramas or movies
where the lead loses his memories, but one day
It all just come back? Maybe that'll happen to you too. /nods
They say it depends whether you really want to remember or not. /shrugs
Oh /nods and looks at you
Do you dance? /grins

@Bae Joohyun I hope so-
It just... Sometimes I'm too lazy to remember them all.
/Looks at you/
Oh- I was on my way to the garden then I heard sound coming
from this room. So I kind of- wanting to know what happen inside.

@Kim Jongin /nods, trying to hide a small smile
Maybe your memories will come back
to you someday /smiles
What brings you here in the dance studio anyway? /looks at you

@Bae Joohyun Few things, like good, kind and pretty.
And both of us is a childhood friend.
But then she moved away, only later she
met my mom and the accident happened.
/Smiles/

@Kim Jongin Maybe I just assumed that your best friend was a girl. /chuckles softly
What did your mom say about...um...your best friend?
If you don't mind me asking. /looks at you
Oh, it's good you're fine now. /smiles

@Bae Joohyun She? I don't remember whether the person is a she or he.
But mom used to tell me lot about her.
It just, people grow up. I guess.
/Smiles and shakes head/
I'm fine now. So, it's okay.

@Kim Jongin /smiles lightly, the memory of how I used to call you Kai flashing in my mind
But you remember how she used to call you Kai. That's progress. /nods
Okay then, Kai. /smiles
/looks at you
Oh, I'm sorry. That must've been hard to recover from. /chews my lip

@Bae Joohyun /Nods and smiles/ Of course. It just happened so sudden.
Sure, actually- One of my best friends used to call me that.
But I remember nothing about that person.
/Sits on the floor/
Oh- Involved with an accident.

@Kim Jongin It's okay, it's not like you wanted to be sick, right? /smiles gently
Then I'll call you Kai. /nods and grins
Is that okay with you? /looks at you
And um.../chews my lip while thinking of the right words to say
I don't mean to pry, but do you know what happened to you?

@Bae Joohyun Not really- Sometimes I still feel sick... But not as worst as before. I'm sorry if we used to know each other before.
/Looks at you, biting my lower lips out of guiltiness/
And I'm Jongin. Kim Jongin.
I don't know- But people used to call me Kai.
But now, not anymore. And I don't even remember why.

@Kim Jongin /stares at you with worry, following you with my gaze as I gently close the door
You did? You're good now, right?
/returns to my sitting position earlier
/sighs a bit/ In that case, I'll introduce myself again. Let's start over. /smiles
Hi, my name is Joohyun, but people call me Irene. /smiles
And you are? /tilts my head questioningly, feigning ignorance

@Bae Joohyun Highlight the word 'used' to then.
/Walks into the dance studio/
Friends...? Uh- About that...
I did get sick and stayed in hospital for quite a long time.

@Kim Jongin /sighs; staring at you, looking for some sort of recognition/ Really?
We do know each other. /nods/ Well, we used to. /shrugs
We were...friends, I suppose. /looks at you while frowning a bit
You didn't get sick or anything, did you? I mean, something that could mess with your memories?

@Bae Joohyun Uhm- /Scratches the back of neck and looks
at you/ But I seriously don't
remember you. Have we ever met before?
As in... where? Do we like... know each other?

@Kim Jongin /frowns a bit
Am I that easy to forget? /pouts
We used to be close, Jongin-ah. /sighs
I'm Irene. /points to myself, smiling a bit

[post deleted by owner]

@Bae Joohyun Uh- /Raises eyebrows when you suddenly call out my name, although
I can't seem to remember well, but how did you know me/
What? Yes, my name is Jongin. I'm sorry.
But who are you? /Walking to the door and stands there,
not knowing what to say next/

@Kim Jongin /turns to the voice and sees you
/smiles and raises a hand to wave but I suddenly realize who you are
Jongin? Is that you? You're here too! /smiles; stands up immediately and heads towards the door
/opens the door and motions for you to come in

@Bae Joohyun /Standing beside the window while looking at you while leaning inward slowly/
Uhm- Hey there...
/Waves a hand and smiles/

@Kim Jongin /finishes the song and sits down on the floor with my phone in my hand and my water bottle in another, trying to find another song to dance to
Which dance should I learn next? /uncaps my water bottle, takes a gulp and places it on the floor

@Bae Joohyun /Is walking nearby and suddenly heard such a loud music coming from the dance studio/
It still early in the morning tho'
Did someone going to be an idol and start practicing this early?
