Kill This Love - BLACKPINK
(Dancing as: Jennie)

For you to dance in front of your boyfriend and his friends took a lot of courage.

It was a very rare occurrence for the you to accompany the boys to the studio when they needed to rehearse choreography. However, today was that rare occurrence, which was exciting for you and the boys. They were very excited for you to sit in and watch their rehearsal. Seonghwa was the most excited; he wanted to show you how hard everyone had been working.

All 9 of you piled into the studio, dressed for dance practice. The boys did their stretches, before arguing over what song they should warm up with.

You raised an eyebrow at Seonghwa. "You guys have a warm up dance?"

Your boyfriend nodded. "We warm up with different songs, love. But we can never agree on what song we want to use to warm up with."

The arguing continued among the other boys, until you had enough. "If none of you can pick a song, I will!"

Every member of ATEEZ grew quiet at your outburst.

You grabbed Hongjoong's phone when he handed it to you, scrolling through his song selections. You set your eyes on a certain BLACKPINK song, 'Kill This Love.' It had been all the rage recently, and you happened to learn the choreography.

"Let's do 'Kill This Love,'" you decided.

"But who will dance as who?" Mingi questioned.

You smiled, "Mingi, you and Hongjoong are Lisa. Wooyoung and Yeosang are Jisoo. Yunho and Jongho are Rosé, which leaves San and Hwa as Jennie. Any questions?"

Jongho raised his hand. "Can you show us the choreography, Y/N?"

"Of course I can, Jongho," you agreed. "Hongjoong, Yeosang, Yunho — let's dance."

The three aforementioned boys stood up and took their positions as their respective BLACKPINK members. Mingi hooked up Hongjoong's phone to a Bluetooth speaker, and pressed play on the song.

Once the song started, it was like another side of you was emerging from your body. You embodied Jennie, and you took the others by surprise... but none more so than Seonghwa.

Watching you dance, he felt so much pride and joy in his heart. Seonghwa had no idea you were so agile and graceful, yet powerful and intimidating with your dance moves.

When the song was over, the boys cheered loudly. All of the cheers from every member of ATEEZ was for you.

You blushed as you received high praises from your friends for your dance moves. However, you blushed even darker when you were face-to-face with Seonghwa.

The oldest member smiled proudly at you. "You have surprised me yet again, my love. I had no idea you could dance like that."

"I've always loved dancing; it's just something that I enjoy doing," you tell him.

Seonghwa pulled you into his arms, kissing your head. "You should dance with us more often; you're a beautiful dancer, Y/N."

DDU-DU DDU-DU - BLACKPINK
(Dancing as: Rosé)

You've always been musically inclined — dancing was as natural as breathing for you.

You were in the empty dance studio at KQ, seeing as the boys were recording some new music right now. You thought there was no shame in doing some choreography while the others weren't around. Heaven knows that you'd have a heart attack if anyone caught you dancing.

You scrolled through your playlist, looking for something in particular to dance to. A smile formed when you found what you were looking for: 'DDU-DU DDU-DU' by BLACKPINK.

You were a huge Blink, and you'd been studying a lot of their choreography since 2016. This song was one of your absolute favorites, and your favorite member to dance as for this song was Rosé.

You plugged your phone into the speaker via aux cord and hit play. You ran to your spot on the floor, ready to dance.

Hongjoong and the others had finished recording early, and were on their way to the dance studio to practice a bit of choreography.

Hongjoong opened the door to the studio, and he stood frozen when he saw you dancing to BLACKPINK.

The way you moved, the power behind each step... it was breathtaking. Hongjoong never knew that you could dance, and it was honestly the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen — second to you, of course.

You finished the dance, and heard a lot of excited chatter behind you. You whipped around to see that your boyfriend and his friends were cheering you on!

"Ah! What the bloody hell is going on?"

"Aww, don't be mad, darling. We just saw you dancing your heart out. It was adorable and sexy!" Hongjoong praised.

You gave your boyfriend a kiss, smiling at him. "Thank you; I appreciate it. However, the next time you want to watch me dance, just give me a heads up next time."

Hongjoong smiled and kissed your cheek. "Anything you say, Y/N."

IDOL - BTS
(Dancing as: Jimin)

What happens when you think you're all alone in the house? You do some BTS choreography.

You didn't listen to a lot of BTS, but you did like the song 'IDOL.' You had been practicing this dance for weeks, and you finally mastered it. Luckily, Yunho and the boys were out grocery shopping, so they wouldn't be home for a while... or so you thought.

You were in the main room, prepping for the dance you were about to perform. You had memorized the choreography for Jimin, and that's what you were prepared to dance.

Yunho and the others had entered the house through the backdoor, which led to the kitchen. They'd put up the groceries in time to hear the opening bars of 'IDOL' play in the main room.

"Y/N must be blasting her music. Let's go scare her," Wooyoung suggested.

"She's not going to like that, Wooyoung-ah," Yunho warned. "You know she doesn't like prank scares."

Though Wooyoung's idea was shot down, everyone decided to go and check on you. Yunho was in the most shock when he saw you dancing in the main room.

The movements were fluid and graceful. The way you commanded the room with your precise and sharp turns made Yunho smile. He was falling in love with you all over again.

You finished the dance and turned around to see the guys, each and every one of them looking at you in a form of shock or awe.

"Um... hey."

Yunho walked over to you, pulled you into his arms, and spun you around. "My awesome girlfriend has awesome dance moves. You should come and rehearse with us, babe!"

You blushed and hid your pink face in Yunho's shoulder, and he kissed your cheek. "You are extremely talented, my love. And I love you and your talents."

Pirate King - ATEEZ
(Dancing as: San)

You'd always been a naturally gifted person, and you always excelled when it came to dance.

You had been sitting in rehearsal with the boys, watching them rehearse 'Pirate King.' It was, by far, one of your most favorite songs from their TREASURE EP.1:  All to Zero album. Watching them practice for weeks on end meant that you had memorized the choreography in your mind. But none of the boys, including your boyfriend Yeosang, knew that you were paying close attention to their rehearsals.

You got up when San collapsed, knowing he must've been exhausted from continuous rehearsal. "San-ah... you need to rest," you scolded gently. "You know when you overwork yourself that you get dizzy."

San nodded quietly. "I'm sorry, Y/N. I thought I could push through it."

You were a motherly figure to most of the group, and you brought some balance to their crazy lives.

"It's okay," you told him, "but you are not dancing anymore today; you've tired yourself out."

"Yes noona," San replied respectively. "But who will dance for me in my place today? No one else knows my choreography."

Yeosang, who had been listening to the conversation out of concern for his friend, suddenly got an idea. "Y/N... you could dance as San today!"

You looked up at your boyfriend, confusion in your eyes. "Me?"

"Yes, you! You've watched us dance to this a few times — I'm sure you'd do great! What do you think, San-ah?"

San gave a nod. "Only if she wants to."

Yeosang gave you a cute puppy dog pout. "Please, baby? For Sannie?"

You laughed and kissed his pout. "Just know I'm only doing this for San."

Yeosang jumped up and down with glee, kissing you all over your face. "Baby, you are the best!"

You chuckled as you took San's position for the opening formation.

Throughout the number, you performed perfectly. You knew all of San's moves and his mannerisms — it was like you were a female San.

When you finished, Yeosang lifted you into his arms, kissing your lips feverishly.

"You were so amazing, darling. Where did you learn to dance like that?"

You blushed. "I pay a lot of attention to you guys when you practice. Plus... I've always had a knack for dancing as a child."

"You should keep dancing," Yeosang said softly. "You know how to make my heart melt over and over again when you dance."
