The next morning, the dance studio was bubbly as soft laughters and chatters echoed in the room. Nora felt tired but satisfied, her heart felt light and her smiles could finally reach her eyes. Getting to know the dancers wasn't a hard task, they all had vibrant personalities that she never felt left out despite their diverse backgrounds. There were no language issues, most of them spoke English anyway. Thankfully, Yeonjun was absent as he was the only stiff one among them.
Walking towards the door to get a little bathroom break. Nora walked forward not noticing the tall figure that stood before her. She only noticed when she collided gently with something solid and warm. Nora staggered back a step, blinking up in surprise. She looked up to see a pair of eyes staring down at her like she was an insignificant figure. She couldn't help but to take two steps back.
Nora thought it could have been someone else why did it have to be Yoongi.
"Yoongi-ah" Seo joon called out, walking towards them.
His smile spread slowly, lighting up his face like the sunset. "Hyung".
Nora was in disbelieve.
Wait he could smile?. With all the attitude he had given her, he could smile so brightly.
"Seems like you got a free schedule today, i didn't expect to see you here". Seo joon said while giving him a brotherly hug.
Yoongi smirked "I'm almost done with my promotions, i can take a rest now".
Seo Joon glanced at Nora. "You both met already?"
Nora looked at Yoongi biting her lips as tension lurked in the air, she hoped he doesn't say a thing about last night. Her pleading eyes was stuck on him.
Yoongi looked back at her, the corner of his lips tilting up with just enough mischief to keep her curious.
Was he playing with her right now. Nora thought, already thinking of ways to defend herself. She shouldn't trust him.
"Who is she?" Yoongi suddenly said, his eyes still on Nora. His statement earned him a look of surprise from her.
"She just joined the company from Oslo" Seo joon replied.
Yoongi muttered an ohh, his tone nonchalant as ever. "So..... I'm supposed to say 'Nice to meet you' right?".
"Seo Joon can you come over?" One of the staffs called out.
"Yoongi behave" Seo Joon said, shooting him a look before walking away.
Nora sighed in relief "Thank you".
Nora was expecting a reply but there was none just deep stares scanning her face like he wanted to suck in her soul. She glanced around, making sure there weren't curious eyes lurking around.
"What are you doing, is there something on my face?" Nora whispered while touching her face.
"You owe me one" Yoongi suddenly said, his voice low as he walked away.
Nora frowned, watching his back as he walked further away.
Owe him? Let's see what this poor girl can do for you.
She turned, walking out of the room.
.....
Lunch time was almost over, Nora had eaten in the company cafeteria and was currently in the dance studio, she needed some alone time. It was empty, people took their time during lunch. At this point, Nora thought of Freya and Alva, she missed them but she couldn't call them. Maybe till after some months, she would give it a try.
Nora laid on her back, face up in the dance studio. It was clear of all kinds of noise, not till someone barged in startling Nora as she stood up, her eyes alert.
"You found her?" Yoongi said on the phone, his voice low and distant, as though the words themselves were delicate.
The next moment, his face turned pale like it was drained of all the blood. His shivering hands brushed through his hair, leaning his back on the wall.
" No, i will get back to you". He said immediately before hanging up.
Nora stood, confused at what to do. Suddenly; as if he had been alerted, his eyes found her. The silence became eeire and suffocating as if she had just eavesdropped in something she shouldn't know. His stare seeping into her soul, devoid of emotions causing Nora to step back unknowingly.
"I.. I was here.." Nora sturted, the sound of the door cutting her off.
He left..
He just left...
Nora sighed in relief, what was all that tension about. She swore she saw a tinge of sadness in his eyes.
