Y/n's POV..

We've been dancing for more than an hour now..

Jungkook danced a little more than i did but he still looked the same as when he started teaching me.

Me, on the other hand, i looked like i got ran over by a truck.. twice.

We stopped for a minute, i stood aside as he showed me the next move in the chorus which involves a jump and a turn at the same time.

And i can barely lift my leg right now.

I admired him as he danced so amazingly well.

He jumped so effortlessly but he landed a little unstably this time, and the little wince that didn't go unnoticed.

He stopped suddenly and I paused the song as he sat on the floor with a thud.

"You know what? Let's take a break, I'm tired" he said out of the blue.

"Are you okay?" I asked him as i walked towards him and sat cross legged facing him.

"Yeah" he said in a matter-of-fact tone making me uncertain if the wince i saw was just my eyes deceiving me.

"Are you sure?" I asked like i knew that his answer wasn't the truth.

He took out his phone and I shouldn't have but i saw the reflection of his phone screen on the mirror behind him, he's got a google page open but I can't see what he's searching.

"Yeah" he said in the same tone without looking up from his phone.

Definitely wasn't convinced with his answers at all.

My brain kept coming up with reasons why he would grimace like he was in pain while dancing.

It could be that his limbs are stiff and aching like mine are.

Or it could be that he didn't feel like teaching me anymore.

Maybe he noticed how pathetic i looked and decided to take a break.

The last one was the most convincing to be honest.

I sat there quietly engulfed in my own thoughts.

Until i saw in my peripheral vision, jungkook pressing his lips together anxiously as his eyes were focused on his phone screen.

I couldn't help but look at the mirror behind him to see his phone's reflection.

All i see are lines and lines of words.

He suddenly tried standing up but kept wincing as he did so.

I looked at him like i was asking him with my eyes.

"I'm fine it's just my legs are stiff" he said as he kept tripping and wincing in pain as he made his way to a chair in the corner.

He sat on it and lifted his right foot to his lap.

He took his shoe off his right foot followed by the sock.

I did a double glance at his foot and couldn't help but gasp when I noticed it.

The skin around his ankle was red and irritated, it was swollen a little too.

He inspected it calmly as i jumped off the floor and almost ran to him.

"Omg does it hurt?!" I asked the dumbest question in panic.

He glanced up at me and then back at his foot "well.. it's bearable.. i guess" he said in a breathy voice and mumbled the last part to himself.
