10. Rival
Lee Areum's Pov
Two weeks later...
"Areum are you done yet?" Taehyung shouted from outside the caravan, reminding me that it's time to go.
"Coming!" I shouted back while I tried to fix my hair. After taking one last look of my reflection in the mirror, ensuring that I am ready for school. I quickly took my school bag and ran out of the caravan where Taehyung, Jimin and Jungkook were waiting for me.
Since my fractured leg have fully recovered, the boys decided to reach school early so that I could start my training for the dance competition.
A~~~ da aneunde wae jakku sumgyeo
nega nal johahaneunge imi ne eolgure sseuyeoisseo
A~~~ nareul boda wae nuneul dollyeo
da aneunde A~ A~
My body was dancing to the beat happily with Jimin and Jungkook dancing behind me when suddenly the music stopped playing. Feeling surprised, my body freeze in place as I turned my head towards the music player, wondering why did it stop.
However, my gaze landed on a frowning Taehyung who is standing beside the music player with both of his arms crossed over his chest. His eyebrows were knitted together, lips were slightly pouting as he stared at me with an unsatisfied expression.
Wondering what's wrong with him, I dropped both of my arms down to my side while I stood properly before throwing him my confused look.
"Lee Areum." Taehyung coldly spoke, with a firm expression which unknowingly caused some goose bump to tingle down my spine.
"Yes?" I cautiously answered as I could feel how serious Taehyung is right now.
"What are you doing?" Taehyung asked.
"Me? Dancing of course." I immediately answered with a sheepish laughter while I rub my nape awkwardly.
"You are not planning to use this skill to join the competition are you?" Taehyung scoffed in disbelief after hearing my answer.
Ouch!
The smile on my face disappear after hearing what Taehyung had just say as a frown slowly made its way up to my face.
"My cast were just removed not long ago." I pouted as I raised my right leg, reminding him that I have just recovered not long ago and it should be understanding why I couldn't dance well.
"I know but its seems like your arms were in a cast too." Taehyung commented with a teasing smirk, causing my blood to boil as I glared at him.
"Everyone has to practice and learn when they are born!" I snapped at Taehyung before turning my body around to face Jimin and Jungkook.
"Is it possible that you guys were able to do well when you were born?!" I asked them, feeling unfair.
Without any paused, Jimin and Jungkook immediately nodded their head in unison.
"Yea!" Jimin and Jungkook respond with a proud smile which caught me by surprise.
My mouth opened yet not a single words came out as I was trying to find something to say.
I mean who in the world after they were born could immediately dance well?
I mean even if they really could dance so well once they were born, its not my fault that I couldn't dance well! Not everyone who born could dance so well.
I was so deep into my thoughts, I didn't realize Taehyung was laughing at how flustered I was.
"Yah Yah... It can't be like this. You won't be able to win the competition in this state." Taehyung spoke which brought me back from my reality. I turned my head to look at Taehyung. However, my eyebrows immediately furrowed in confusion when I saw Taehyung walking towards a chair and picking it up before walking towards me.
"From today onwards, you will have to practice everyday to improve your skill." Taehyung added as he placed the chair right beside me. My head slightly tilt to my right while I stared at the chair, wondering what is it for.
"Here, take a seat." Taehyung looked at me after dusting all the dust from the chair with his left hand.
Feeling confused, I followed his instruction and took a seat.
"Stretch your left leg." Taehyung instructed as he kneeled in front of me. I stretch up my right leg for him. Taehyung gently placed my right leg on his knee before wrapping my ankle with a rope that is connected with two heavy metals. After securing the rope around my ankle, Taehyung gently placed my right leg down.
"Hey, whats this? Its so heavy." I asked as I struggle to lift up my right leg due to the heavy weight that is pulling my right leg down.
"Okay, if you want to dance, your lower body have to be strong. So to train your leg, you have to lift this up and down 100 times per day. Got it?" Taehyung asked with a smile.
"What 100 times?!" I exclaimed as I looked at Taehyung in disbelief.
"Yes. Like this." Taehyung say as he hold my ankle before lifting it up and bringing it down.
"Got it? Now your turn."
I let out a frustrated groan as I couldn't believe that I have to do this.
'One..."
I half-heartedly lift up my leg and bring it back down.
"Two..."
"Cant you do it properly? Lift it higher. One..." Taehyung strictly say as he scrunched his eyebrow, slightly annoyed at how I am not putting much effort in this exercise.
"One! Two!" I loudly count while raising my leg higher.
I secretly turned my head back to look at Jimin and Jungkook who are standing behind me, looking at me in pity.
"Help me!" I mouthed the words, hopping that they would help me get out of this ridiculous training. However, Jungkook and Jimin remained standing still with their hands placed in front of them as they shook their head with an apologetic expression plastered on their face.
My expression fall when they couldn't help me.
"Do it properly!" Taehyung exclaimed causing my head to snap towards him.
"Yah! My cast just removed a few days ago. It really hurt." I raised my voice at Taehyung before slumping my body into the chair as I could feel my legs getting weak and tired.
"Thats why you have to do it. One..." Taehyung stubbornly count again without changing any of his expression.
"Jimin help me!" I loudly whispered as I stretch my arms out to Jimin. My desperate eyes piercing through his.
"I'm sorry I can't. It is for your own good." Jimin softly say before pushing my hand away.
Ugh!
I turned my head back to the front with a frown plastered on my face before looking at Taehyung with a glare.
"Lets continue until you did 100 times." Taehyung say as he tap my right leg for some encouragement.
I let out a sigh, knowing that today will be a long day.

Im JaeBum's Pov
"So JB, how's your life in campus?" The director interviewed me as we slowly head towards my class with the crew filming us.
Today, we are filming a Got3's documentary in the school.
"Erm, my life in campus? Well since I am busy, I don't really go to school very often. But I still like my school." I say as I looked at the director with a smile.
"Since being an idol is very busy, you don't have much time to make friends in school right?" The director asked again.
"Yeah we are really busy." I nodded my head in agreement.
However just as the director was about to ask some more questions, a brown hair boy who looks about our age interrupted him.
"Oh Mark! Long time no see!" He exclaimed, causing everyone of us to turn our head and look at him as he approach Mark with a bright smile.
"Oh hey Min Jun!" Mark halted his steps as he enthusiastically greeted him back with a hug.
"Have you been busy lately?" Mark asked.
"Yea I am a little busy, so I will go first now." Min Jun smiled as he pat Mark's shoulder.
"Oh sure! We shall meet next time. Bye!" Mark let out a warm smile while Min Jun wave his hand before walking away.
Just as we were about to walk, a short hair girl suddenly approach Youngjae.
"YoungJae, here's your notes for studying." The girl shyly say as she passed YoungJae the notes.
"Aww thanks for the notes! No wonder you are the class monitor." YoungJae smile brightly as he wrapped his arms around the girl shoulder, giving her a small squeeze before removing his arms. The girl immediately blushes at the contact as she happily walked away.
"Hey, you guys seems to have a lot of friend!" The director commented in surprised as we continued to make our way to the classroom.
"How about you,JB? What about your friends? Are you close with anyone?" The director suddenly asked as he looked at me with full of curiosity.
"Huh Me?" I stuttered in surprised while I point at myself causing the director to nod his head.
"Er... I..." I stumbled my words as my gaze shift right to left while I nervously think of what to reply.
"Oh my friend s-study really hard..." I let out an awkward laughter, hopping that he would change another topic. The director looked at me with furrowed eyebrows before letting out an awkward laughter too. The atmosphere soon become awkward.
Fortunately, it didn't last long when suddenly a girl with auburn hair interrupted us.
"Oh! Isn't she the terrorist girl from last time?"
The director and I stopped laughing as we turned our head towards the girl to see her pointing to a familiar girl who just came out from the building with a group of three boys following after her.

Lee Areum's Pov
So one and two... Three and four...
I count in my head as I practice the hand's movement while leaving the building.
"Oh! Isn't she the terrorist girl from last time?" A familiar voice exclaimed once I exited the building .
I could feel gazes on me. Feeling uncomfortable, I stopped what I was doing and halted my steps before lifting my head up to see a crowd of student, gathering around the camera crew and Got3, standing in front of me.
Everyone were staring at me, including JB while Mina was pointing at me with a smirk plastered on her face.
"PD-nim, that is Lee Areum, the notorious girl who keep disturbing JB. She is the world's greatest enemy." Mina complained to the director while pointing at me.
The crowd of students started to burst into laughter while I awkwardly stood in front of them, feeling humiliated.
"Oh you mean the recent case of JB?" The director asked as he turned his head to look at JB.
Everyone turned their head to look at JB, waiting for his response.
However to my surprise, JB's eyes grew wide as he shook his head before running towards me. My eyes immediately widen when I felt his arms placed around my shoulder, pulling me closer to his body.
"Oh no its a misunderstanding! She's my friend!" JB quickly answered to the director as he point at me which causing the crowd to whisper among themselves, shocked to hear the news.
"Areum can be clumsy at sometimes but that make her attractive right?" JB explained before turning his head to look at me with a smile.
"JB..." I softly say with a shy smile. My heart was fluttering at what he said earlier and how close we are right now.
"Oh and what were you guys doing just now? I saw you were doing this." JB asked as he removed his arms on my shoulder before showing the hand movement I was doing earlier.
"Oh haha... We are just practicing dancing." I let out a chuckle while rubbing my back of my neck.
"Oh are you joining the dance competition?" JB asked.
"Huh? What dance competition?" The director asked in confusion.
"It is our school tradition! Every year there will be a dance competition." JB explained with a smile causing the director to nod his head in understanding.
"So have you decided what song to dance?" JB asked as he shift his attention to me.
"Yea! We are going to dance A" I smiled.
"A? Oh good choice! A~~~ Should I teach you?" JB asked with a warm smile plastered on his face.
"Really?!" I exclaimed in surprise as my eyes lit up in excitement.
JB smile as he nod his head causing me to grin from ear to ear. The camera crew quickly rushes in front of us as they start to film us. Taehyung, Jimin and Jungkook stood beside me as they watch us in silence while Mina, Mark and Youngjae stood the other side.
"So first, you have to raise your knee up like this. Okay? Let do together. 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and." JB slowly count for me as I try my best to do the steps correctly.
"Woah... She suddenly seems to put so much effort practicing." Jungkook whisper to Jimin.
"Yeah~ This looks interesting." Jimin scoffed in disbelief.
"1 and 2 a- ..."
I accidentally stumble over my feet, causing JB to stop counting and turned his head to look at me.
"Sorry." I let out a sheepish smile.
"Its alright, no worries. Lets do again. Here look carefully. 1 and 2 -"
"Of course it's not like that. You are doing wrong." Taehyung suddenly spoke, cutting JB's sentence as he walked towards us and pushing me back a little.
"It should be like this. 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and." Taehyung simply say as he showed us the dance movement, but with an emphasis on his shoulder and chest.
"You have to show the highlight." Taehyung say in annoyance.
Oh no... I don't think I like where this is going...
"This is my choreography." JB let out a force smile as he turned his body to face towards Taehyung, anger was clearly evident in his expression.
"So what? Can't I dance in a different way?" Taehyung say with a smirk plastered on his face.
"Oh so you understand dancing that well is it?" JB gritted his teeth as he took a few steps closer to Taehyung with deadly daggers shooting out from his eyes.
"At least I am better than you." Taehyung coldly say as he also took a few steps forward causing Jimin and Jungkook to stand beside him in anger while Mark and Youngjae did the same thing.
JB scoffed in disbelief.
"Then try it! Show me!" JB exclaimed with his chin protruding outwards, eyes flashed in fiery flames.
The air was tense as they stood face to face; jaws clenched tight in anger while their eye bore with each other with intensity.
To be continue...
