Chapter 8
I swear my grave will be dug right here and now. Claude just burst in here and basically yelled that I'm a stalker to EXO, one of the most well-known k-pop groups in Korea. I was just there dying eternally waiting for security to arrest me, to take me away to rot in a jail cell. I may be overreacting a bit, just a bit. By this point I could feel my soul leaving my body as the tension in the air grew so thick it could be sliced by a butter knife. "I'm joking this is Kate Castagnola and she is a choreographer. Your manager requested that you meet her," explains Claude and I fall backward in shock.
"Hello I'm Wu Yifan, the leader, nice to meet you," says Yifan in English helping me up and I reply in English.
"Thank you and nice to meet you as well," I say smiling and I turn to the other members who were clueless as to what we were saying.
"How do we know she can even dance?" asks a member I have not met yet. Before I even knew what was happening they were all seated on the floor munching away at popcorn watching a TV that had my dance that I did earlier. Who? What When? How? Who took this video? HOW DID THEY GET POPCORN SO FAST! It came out of literally thin air! I scream in my head as three of them get nosebleeds from my hip movement I guess. The video ends and the video disappears as fast as it came, like are they ninjas or something? "You're really good, but I want to see it in person. I'm Oh Sehun," said another member with a slight lisp. I open in close my mouth like a weirdo and then smile unsure what to say. "Yeah she can fill in for someone and she can dance to Growl, I'm Zhang Yixing by the way," said another member wiping away his nose bleed. Minseok hands me a phone and I watch the video once through and start dancing.
[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]
(You can fill in for anyone you want) "Wow, that was amazing! You watched the video once and mastered the dance!" compliments Luhan. (Introductions were done while you watched the video) "You sure have moves kitten," smiles Minseok.
"Thanks," I blush slightly from the praise.
"Why does BTS get first dibs on the hot choreographer?" Chanyeol asks and I turn away to blush but run into Minseok and my blush grows even deeper. Kyungsoo comes over and touches my forehead, "you guys are making her really red," he says slyly and I smile nervously. I turn on my heel trying to escape all these boys when I crash into Jongin and we both fall over. "Watch where you're going!" he yells angrily and I get up and back away right away. "I-I'm sorry," I apologize still shaken from being yelled at. "I think I should go now," I say dodging under Minseok's arm as he tries to hugs me and calm me down. I sprint down the hall my legs still shaking and I take a left and then a right and I get totally lost. Geeze, this is a cliche deja vu. I climb up onto a high arch and sit on a ledge that had a window over looking Seoul, I guess I'm living up to my nickname from Minseok. I can hear their faint hollers and shouts as they search for me. I hold my knees to my chest and lean my cheek on the cool glass and to make things more plot worthy a light rain starts. the shaking finally stops and my heartbeat slows down. I get a text from Claude asking where I was but I ignore it, if anything I will leave by myself.
I probably shouldn't have run away from them but I have dealt with being yelled at and I can't handle it very well. I mean I have pretty much been yelled at my whole life and I guess that sort of mental abuse is getting to me right now. I mean I don't have a problem with people yelling at me if they're happy or loud noises but when they're mad I shatter and break. Everyone one has issues, some people just hide it better than others. "Hey," a voice makes me jump and almost lose my balance but the voice steadies me. I turn and look to see Jongin sitting up on the ledge with me. "Hey," I answer my voice a bit dry even though I have shed no tears.
"Look about earlier, I shouldn't have yelled," he admits biting his lower lip, "I have trouble controlling my temper and I'm sorry that I took it out on you," he says looking at me with puppy dog eyes. I couldn't help but smile, these boys are probably all older than me and yet they are adorable. "It's fine," I smile, "everyone has issues and sometimes they get the better of us. I shouldn't have run away like that either," I smile more and he holds out his hand and I shake it signaling that we were cool.
"Hey Romeo and Juliet come down from there, don't make us call the fire department," yells Yifan as the rest of the group shows up looking relieved that I had not run out of the building and into the freezing rain. We both climb down and then Minseok embraces me and whispers, "don't do that Kate I was only joking about the whole kitten thing." I laugh and he backs away confused.
"I didn't climb up there to live up to your little nickname. Anyway, sorry Claude I think I threw your schedule off," I say turning to said person.
"I'm just glad you are okay but we do have to go to the Bangtan state merit exams, we might be able to see the end of it," he says tapping his wrist with his finger on an invisible wrist watch. "Thanks for having me I hope to see you soon!" I say as we head off to the Bangtan state merit exams whatever those are. We get to this kind of temple/little village place only to see the boys in all white and Yoongi and Hoseok with plastic bows. "Ah, Kate is here now to witness the exams, well part of them. She is now part of the prize for the bachelor who wins, the bachelor who wins will get a kiss on the cheek from her," announces the guy who I'm guessing is running this whole exam thing. My jaw drops to the ground again and Yoongi out of all people starts to make a trumpet noise like at those horse races and he wasn't that far off the bulls eye. Hoseok's was closer but his bounces off the target. Things got more intense after that and Yoongi passes on to the next round. Jimin starts smack talking right off the bat. "Who won't win with a friend like that?" I hold in my laughter because honestly, Taehyung could be in a zombie apocalypse but care more about the butterfly that flies by. Or maybe a bomb goes off somewhere and Taehyung would be like, "FIREWORKS!!" Karma kind of smacks Jimin back because Taehyung actually moved on to the next round. "And now it's a fight between dumb and dumber," smiles Yoongi, out of everyone he is the most savage.
"Isn't Namjoon the one with the highest IQ?" questions Claude as they both fire multiple shots failing miserably, one almost beheading Claude.
"Yeah, but right now it is kind of the battle between dumb and dumber because they both have no aim and the board is like five feet away," I answer. By this point, it is whatever Bachelor can stick the arrow to the blue circle considering the struggle to get on the target. After the sun goes down a bit Namjoon finally manages to get an arrow to stick and moves on to the next round. Since Jungkook pulled a certain stick earlier he's facing off against Namjoon after Yooni and Taehyung duke it out. Yoongi claims that the East winds are helping him, I actually think it's because he is giving a bit of moisture to the tip of the arrow before he puts his finger in the air. Taehuyng catches on and tries it but it just bounces off again. "Jungkook is good at everything but not archery," says Namjoon kind of complimenting and dissing him at the same time. Jungkook goes and then looks so confused as to why his arrow didn't stick to the board. It was like the greatest mystery to him. He continues to be confused, and since they still had things to do for the exams they make the red line rule again. Jungkook eventually tests the East winds and ends up being betrayed, for the East winds only work for Yoongi! "And now 100 out of 100 Jumong's archery; Bachelor Suga vs the Korean version of Legolas; Rap monster," says the dude running the exam. Ah good old Lord of the Rings references. I laugh even harder after Namjoon fails twice and it was Yoongi's turn and he unintentionally does a Fairy Tail sign by putting his finger in the air. "He has the talent for archery, why did you choose to rap?" asks Jungkook.
"Finally he's showing his true colors!" I manage to say as I attempt to hold back laughter.
It is night time now and time for horse racing, when the horse was brought out they looked disappointed considering the horses were toys. I should totally be in this! I'm pretty short and it can't be that hard right? I ask myself as Hoseok reads my mind.
"Jimin-ah it's an advantage for short people!" Jimin just tells him to quietly sit down. I laugh as Hoseok starts making random noises halfway through the race and at the end, Jimin just got up and ran the horse in hand. "And the winner is J-horse!" I yell and they all look at me laughing as Hoseok's cheeks fill with color. Seokjin gave up halfway through and Yoongi went on, Namjoon threw his horse across the finish line and Taehyung kisses his horse as he goes on. J-horse returns beating Yoongi at amazing speeds and after that Jungkook who got the free pass again beat Taehyung. Now it was Centaur bachelor J-hope vs fiery horse thighs bachelor Jungkook. These names were the best! I watch the last horse race and Jungkook was left in the dust, J-horse can not be beaten, J-horse is the champion of this exam.
Next was the chicken fight that somehow ended up as a Pokemon battle but in the end, the God of Destruction took it. They were all going to be so sore tomorrow from all this falling. The exams end and scores got tallied and it turns out that Namjoon had the top score. He goes and changes and when he comes back Taehyung and Jimin are carrying him, these boys I can't handle them sometimes. Yoongi was pretending to be security while Jungkook and Seokjin were throwing flower petals.
"And now the winning bachelor Rap monster will get a kiss from the fair princess Kate!" says the dude and I totally forgot about that. I start to run away when security chases after me and Yoongi picks me up bridal style like I weigh nothing, trust me I weigh a lot. I blush as they set down Namjoon and then he puts me down. "Don't be a party pooper!" teases Claude and I mumble incoherent curses at him as I get closer, I go for the cheek when Namjoon steps on my shoe lace and I fall forward into his lips! I back away turning fifty shades of red and then trip because he is still on my shoelaces and I was going to fall backwards when Hoseok catches me and straightens me back up. "Careful an injury is a choreographers worst nightmare," he smiles and J-horse comes back into my head and I burst out laughing forgetting about my embarrassment. "J-horse!" I say when they look at me like I have a screw lose, "let's go home, it's late and I have had enough crashing into people today," I yawn as we head for the bus.
"If Rap mon ever gets a girlfriend he'll surly accidentally break her," jokes Seokjin as I get on the bus. The only seat was next to Jungkook because Jimin and Taehyung took a seat together leaving him out. "Is it okay if I sit here?" I ask politely and he nods tensing up.
"Calm down its not good for you to be that tense," I say taking a seat. The bus leaves and the chatter dies down as everyone either starts to sleep or listen to music. I was cold on the bus, so I ask, "J-horse can I please have your mighty coat?" and a coat came flying in my direction as fast as J-horse. I was a nice and warm coat and I was dozing off with my head kind of leaning forward and then I would jolt awake. I would try to fall asleep again but the same jerking awake thing happened. "Lean on me," mumbles Jungkook and I thought my ears were playing tricks on me when he gently guides my head to his shoulder. I curl my legs up to the side of me and snuggle into his shoulder falling into a deep sleep.
J- hope's P.O.V:
I threw my jacket over to Kate, I like the name she has given me but knowing her she will be back to Hoseok by tomorrow. There is something very special about her, the way she smiles, the way she moves when she dances is just amazing. She is my hope, I mean I may be other peoples hope but I also need a hope! We are now back at the apartment. "Don't wake her Jungkookie," whispers V, see this is what I mean, she can make V whisper without being conscious! "I'll carry her in," I volunteer but V cuts me off.
"I got her!" he goes to pick her up only to do so with so much power that he ends up throwing her in the air. We all gasp because she was going to hit the ground when Jungkook caught her gently, so gently that she is still asleep. "V she is not a rag doll!" scolds Jin as all the members either glare at him or let a breath out that hadn't realized they had been holding. She snuggles slightly into Jungkook's chest and a part of me wishes I was holding her. "Just get her back to her room in one piece and that should not be a problem as long as we don't let Rap mon touch her," hisses Suga in a voice that says you just woke me up, or at least I think that's why he's mad. We manage to get through the door without any issues when Rap mon breaks a glass that was sitting on the counter and we all look over to see if Kate woke up to see her still wrapped up in her blanket/my jacket. "You are a very lucky man," whispers Jimin as we finally get her to bed and close her door. I think back there it was kind of this unspoken rule, we keep her asleep because of our own somewhat selfish desire to see her cute peaceful sleeping form. J-horse out, see you next chapter~
This was a bit of a slower chapter but I hope you enjoyed~Kate
