Jisoo's POV

"Kim Jisoo-ssi stop staring at the window and keep stretching!" Madam BoA yells from across the room.

I completely dozed off, looking at the calm trees that are visible from the large window surrounding our dance studio.

"Yes, madam." I quickly spread the width of my legs, closing the distance from the ground, reaching as far as I can.

I stood up afterwards and standing on my pointe shoes alternating between each of my foot.

"Are you ready?" Madam asks me, leaning towards one of the ballet barre near the grand piano.

I stretch the remaining part of my limbs and nodded. Madam signalled the pianist to begin playing.

Claude Debussy – Claire de Lune ♫

That was when I decided to let go. Let my worries, thoughts, and pain go. Right here at this moment, I am living. Nothing else mattered but the connection I had with the music who is now in full control of my body.

My feet swiftly moving in sync like raging waters of a waterfall, constant, vibrant, and full of energy.

Stretching my arms above my head in full control as leap and rise filling up the whole studio with my presence.

Strength and calmness from my center, showing impeccable discipline and mastery in the art of piqué manège.

I gracefully bowed ending the song with confidence assured that I had done better today than I did yesterday. 

"Jisoo your boureé still needs some work. I want to be able see you as if you're skimming the floor and floating." Madam critiques.

The private class went on for another hour, constant replay of the same steps over and over again until Madam was satisfied with my performance.

"Good work today Jisoo, but don't get too comfortable you still have a long way to go if you want to get into New York City Ballet"

"Ne Madam." I said bowing before she left with the pianist, leaving me behind all alone in the studio.

I quickly changed out of my pointe shoes and slid my leg warmers wrapping around my sore calves.

As I exited my class, I was greeted by my one and only friend, Rosé.

"Omg finally what took you so long!" She nags while holding my arm.

"I didn't know you were waiting for me, mianhe (sorry)" I replied.

Rosé is practically a sister I never had. We've been friends since we were kids due to our parents being high school friends. We practically did everything together, to the point we even went to the same university, Korea National University of Arts. I majored in dance, specifically ballet and Rosé majors in music.

After following Rosé's lead, we ended up in front my favourite food stand.

"My treat today!" Rosé beamed in excitement.

I raised my eyebrows in response. This girl is surprisingly acting suspicious I thought. She never pays for my food unless she needed something.

After receiving our food and  finding a table to eat, "okay spill it, what do you need?" I asked disinterested.

"Aish you caught me... Well you know my favourite local band BTS right..." Rosé starts.

I just nod while eating our chicken, my favourite.

"Okay so... they're having a concert tonight and you know that I already missed it last time because of my mom... so... I was wondering if you can come with me tonight. I promise I'll buy you ten more chicken in the future if you say yes!"

"So, you're practically just using me is what you're trying to say?" I spat.

"Oh, come on Jisoo don't put it that way! It's just you know my mom would never let me go to these things unless you come with me." Rosé pouts.

"Just tell your mom I'm going, there problem solved!" I suggested.

"Ugh Jisoo you know that doesn't work. Remember when I did that, she ended up calling your mom to confirm! I was grounded for a month because of that! No thanks to you."

"Okay so now you're blaming me?" I quickly replied back, my mouth full of chicken.

"Jisoo please!! Just this once I promise!" Rosé grabs my hand rubbing it as if she was trying to cast a spell on me to say yes.

I eventually gave in, "Ugh fine but you owe me FIFTEEN chicken orders."

"Yes! Yayy! I'll pick you up at nine tonight!"

"Wait NINE pm?! Isn't that too late?" I protested.

"Jisoo the concert starts at ten, and no it's not too late. It's called living your life." Rosé rebuttals.

Aish what kind of mess did I get myself into this time.

Third Person POV

"Rosé I don't think this will be a good idea. Look how crowded it is!" Jisoo tried to plead after seeing the amount of people gathered in such a small venue.

The atmosphere reeked in cigars and alcohol.

This was definitely not Jisoo's type of scene and it was evident on her face she wanted to bolt out of there as fast as she can.

"You're already here Jisoo. So, try to have some fun!" Rosé yells loudly, so that Jisoo can hear her over the loud music playing in the background.

Just then the lights dimmed as a cue that the concert was starting. Rosé immediately grabbed Jisoo by the arms dragging her and pushing others away so they can get close to the stage.

"Rosé I think I prefer standing at the back, it's less crowded there." Jisoo states.

"Huh?? I CAN'T HERE YOU!!" Rosé leans in.

Jisoo sighs in defeat. 'Just get through this night. Think about all the chickens you're going to eat after this.' like a broken recorded, repeating in her mind to calm her down.

A loud strum of an electric guitar echoed the room catching everyone's attention, including Jisoo's.

The band slowly went on stage and the crowd went wild. Jisoo never paid attention on the hype surrounding the rising band called BTS, so she had no idea who they were or their songs.

She scanned the stage noticing that it consisted of four people, a lead singer/guitarist, a drummer, a pianist, and a bass player.

"How's my lovely ladies AND gents doing tonight." The man holding an electric guitar flirtatiously asks the crowd, making everyone chant 'V' in response.

'Hm the lead singer must be called V then' Jisoo thought immediately rolling her eyes. She hated guys exactly like that.

☆☆☆

Six songs in the show, V noticed an odd individual among the crowd.

The girl had her arms crossed and had a permanent crease on her forehead. She definitely looked like she was not having fun at all, he thought.

V smirks and found the girl amusing. He fixed his gaze at that unknown woman standing near the stage.

He kept staring at her, not backing down waiting for the girl to glance back. To his disappointment the girl never did.

The song ended with V still fixed at the girl who caught his attention.

Jisoo clueless about the man staring at her, had enough.

'This is disgusting, all these sweaty bodies near me. Nope I can't take it anymore' Jisoo lastly thought before squeezing her way out from the crowd and headed towards the back where there was less people.

Rosé was too busy cheering, hadn't realized her friend left.

V was witnessing all of this as he continued to stare at the girl for the rest of the show.

Jisoo sighed in relief when the concert was finally over.

Due to the large volume of people in the venue, it was difficult for Jisoo to look for Rosé. Jisoo decided to stand by the exit and wait for Rosé to meet her there instead.

'Hm I should text her I'm waiting for her at the exit' Jisoo thought grabbing her phone from her pocket.

Jisoo who was completely minding her business was approached by an unfamiliar figure.

"Excuse me miss, V's asking for you backstage."

A/N:
