Our seats were up in the rafters, but it made sense. There were other trainees here, a few I had seen wandering around JYP before, and some from other companies.
There were also a few idols up here, too, I noticed, which made me assume that below us was where all the fans sat, and we were just sectioned off.
For safety, I suppose.

The show started not too long afterwards, as I watched on excitedly, Kyrin taking notes beside me on.. something, and as Stray Kids came out I smiled, noticing Felix's eyes dart up to lock with mine.

It looked exhilarating, being on stage. I couldn't wait for the day, with the music ticking in my ears, adrenaline pumping through me as I perform in front of more than just company heads and other trainees...

When their performance finished, screams erupted in the building, as they rushed off.
That's when I realise they had been the last performance from our company, ITZY having been one of the first few.
I hadn't spoken to any of the girls, since they had been on tour.

Kyrin took my backstage, as Felix came rushing up to me.

"Were we amazing? That would be your first time seeing us live, yeah?" He asked, as I nodded.
"Yes, it was! You guys did awesome. Maybe your new dance isn't that hard - well, you made it look easy." I laughed lightly, as Felix grinned.

"Dance with us then. Is that alright, Manager Kyrin?" Felix asked, turning to the lady beside me.

She nodded. "Yes, that's alright. JYP's quite fond of her, so I'm sure he'll be alright with her posting with you guys. Check with your manager as well, though. I'll be back."
With that she rushed off, as I just turned back to Felix.

He looked nervous, before he planted his smile back on his face.

"Alright, come with me! I'll show you how to do it and then we'll film, yeah?" Felix grinned, grabbing my hand to take me into the hallways.

They were quite empty, most artists having already been here, and he didn't have the last interview for another ten minutes, so we danced, as he showed me how to do everything.
"Look at you! A natural! Alright, I'll set up my phone- ah, yes okay I'll post on the Stray Kids account for you. It'll keep the nasty comments there." Felix mumbled, setting his phone up.

Han came wandering over on accident, laughing.
"Oh wow okay, she's double posting already. Impressive." He said, as Felix just glared at him.

"She's a celebrity, so, of course." Felix laughed lightly back, as Han picked up Felix's phone.

"Let me be the camera man, I'll add more to your little duo performance, hm?" Han asked, as I nodded.

"That would be awesome, Han, thank you." I smiled, as he grinned back.

Then the music started playing, as me and Felix danced.
At the end, Felix ruffled my hair, finishing beside me.

Han gave the phone back, winking at me before he started to walk off.

"Oh, Felix, we have an interview now. So come along." He said quickly, as if the realisation only suddenly hit him.
Felix nodded, leaving his phone with me.

"Watch it and see if you like it. I'll be back." He said, smiling gently as he rushed off.

I watched the video and gasped. Firstly, Felix looked so gorgeous next to me, I would have to save this video myself...
Secondly, he was actually not that tall.
Thirdly, why do we dance so well together?

It was always important in dance to find people who click together, as it adds to a performance, and I knew this was just a silly video for instagram, but still we just... clicked.
I didn't look half bad, either.

Whilst I was waiting in the hall, Kyrin came wandering back, except she was chatting to five girls.

"Oh, Y/N! This is who I wanted you to meet. I used to work with ITZY in their trainee days, so.." Kyrin smiled, stepping away.

The five of them were gorgeous, as they all introduced themselves.

"We saw your cover by the way, you're doing great! Do you want to dance with us? You may as well make the most out of being here, it's not often JYP let's trainees come." Ryujin smiled, as I nodded.

"Sure, that'd be fun!" I smiled, as she grabbed my hand, passing her phone to Kyrin.
We danced, Yeji joining us as well, and as I watched it back they gasped.

"You blend in with us so well, Y/N, I'm amazed, truly. You're doing well for a trainee. Were you training somewhere else before?" Yeji asked, as I nodded.

"I was with YG for a bit, but they told me I wouldn't even make it as a back up dancer. Then I just trained myself." I said, as Lia just frowned.

"That man couldn't even dance if he wanted to, I don't think he should be saying that." Lia mumbled, as everyone burst out laughing.

"Definitely." Yuna laughed, and then all five of them piled onto the stairs for photos.

I just stood back, watching, and as they took photos one by one, Chaeryeong came and stood beside me.

"You remind me a lot of an old friend, Y/N. I think the others agree." She said quietly, as she pulled out her phone.

"So let's stay friends. Can I have your number, Y/N?" She asked, as I nodded, typing it in.
"You girls are all so kind, truly, thank you for this." I bowed, as she laughed gently.

"I'm glad you're being formal, but it's unnecessary. We're friends, yeah?" She grinned, pulling me into a small hug.
I nodded. "Yeah, we are now."

Felix came back, waving to the girls of ITZY.

"Y/N, I need my phone back- I almost left without it, that would've been bad..." He sighed, holding his hand out.

I gave it back to him, as he smiled, passing it to his own manager to post the video.
I knew he had, because the minute it was uploaded my phone buzzed.

"I'll see you around, yes?" He smiled, as I nodded.

"Yes you will! Welcome back, and congrats on winning today!" I grinned, as he smiled back, before wandering off.

"Oh, you two are close." Yeji noted, nodding.
I nodded briefly. "Yeah, we are... accidentally, though, and that's why those rumours appeared all that time ago. But it's alright, he's really nice."

"They always are to the trainees." Yuna smiled, before they were whisked away by their original manager, having finished her conversation with Kyrin.

"Alright, let's go now, superstar." Kyrin said, grabbing my arm gently as we left the building.

My phone buzzed again.

New Number: hi Y/N, it's me, Chaeryeong!

I love your skills, it's super impressive!

Feel free to come dance with me anytime x <3
