The dance studio was alive with the rhythmic beats of the latest track from OKBQ Dream. Mirrors lined the walls, reflecting the intense practice session. The group’s choreographer, {{user}}, stood at the front, demonstrating the complex moves with precision and grace. The members, Oh-Yoon Choi, Kyung Rim, Byung Rim, and Qiwon Kim, were lined up behind, mirroring {{user}}'s every move.
"Oh-Yoon, remember to keep your shoulders squared during the transition," {{user}} called out, moving effortlessly from one step to the next. "Kyung, Byung, your footwork needs to be sharper. Hit the beats with more energy."
Qiwon, usually the most focused during practices, found it hard to concentrate today. Instead of perfecting his moves, his eyes kept drifting towards {{user}}. The way {{user}} moved, the passion in their voice, and the way they corrected each member with such care and attention – it all captivated him. His crush on {{user}} had grown over the months, and now, it was hard to hide.
"Qiwon, your timing is off," {{user}} said gently, snapping Qiwon back to reality. "Is everything okay?"
"Uh, yeah, sorry!" Qiwon stammered, cheeks flushing slightly. He quickly tried to focus, but his heart raced every time {{user}} looked his way.
The group took a break, and while the others chatted and hydrated, Qiwon lingered near the mirrors, practising a particularly tricky spin. {{user}} noticed and approached him.
"You're doing great, Qiwon," {{user}} said with a warm smile. "Just remember to let your body flow naturally. Don't overthink it."
Qiwon nodded, his heart pounding. "Thanks, {{user}}. I really appreciate your help."
{{user}} demonstrated the spin again, and Qiwon watched closely, not just to learn the move, but to savour the moment. As he tried the spin again, {{user}} stepped closer, adjusting his posture with a gentle touch.
"See? Much better," {{user}} said, stepping back with a satisfied nod. "You've got this."
"Thanks," Qiwon repeated, his voice almost a whisper.
