my feet sloshed in the pool as i watched the eight men in front of me tackle each other like they were football players trying to win the super bowl. i tapped away on my phone- sending out emails for work. that was my whole life now- work. my #2 priority were my friends though- and being a kpop stan..duh. i made sure to call my group chat every friday night to keep up with them. abi and lena complained about college and told me the gruesome details of the students. kiki and aira usually chanted about their parents or highschool- mostly kiki. aira just talks about ateez all the time. finally, beck- her and i are as just as good of friends as if nothing ever happened. of course things were different because she was so far away but she was still my best friend.

"jae put your phone down!" chris yelled from across the pool. i groaned in annoyance- pressing the power button and shooting him a death glare. he laughed loudly before dipping under the water, swimming towards me. all of a sudden- his pale hands grabbed my ankles, pulling me under the water. i gasped quietly- pinching my nose as my body hit the cool water. the towel that was previously covering my swimsuit slipped off. i panicked, rushing to come up from under the surface. when i opened my eyes to look- i was met face to face with the man behind it all. he had a smile plastered on his now very red face. we stared at each other, flustered, like we were lovers in a movie or something.

i cleared my throat- distracting myself from looking down at his toned stomach and vascular arms. his eyes felt like they were burning into my body- but not in an objectifying or ridiculing way. but a- i don't even know. this was the first time in my life that it felt like i didn't have anything to say- no snarky comment or joking comeback. nothing- i was literally speechless, just standing there staring at his stupidly hot self.

he hummed at my almost frozen stature. his eyebrows raised and his lips formed into a small smile. "you like what you see?" he whisper-chuckled.

i could not move- seriously. if someone put a gun to my head and said "move literally at all" i would've been dead right then and there. as if almost a god send- my phone rang. "i- i gotta grab that." i spoke, pointing to the edge of the pool. quickly- i swam over to check the number. it was work- great.

"hello?" i answered in korean. "yes- yes i can be there no problem. thank you." i hung up and grabbed a dry towel from the side of the pool- drying off my now soaking body.

"nuna!" jeongin called out, "where are you going?" the boy's pout was obvious. i couldn't help but feel quite guilty for leaving quite this early.

"ah- work." i sighed. the boys all broke out into fake cries- whining at the sight of me leaving. "i'm sorry, i'm sorry! i'll text you all later okay?" i proposed. they nodded hesitantly, sending their goodbyes as i walked to my car.

those previous events were replaying over and over in my mind as i pulled out of the parking lot all the way to the jyp building. i switched back into my work clothes and made my way inside the tall, air-conditioned architecture. for some reason, my mind wouldn't shut the hell up as i scanned my badge and made my way into the office.

i was called into a meeting- but what i was not aware of was that it was going to last two hours. my stomach was growling, i was tired, and they hadn't even addressed why i was there yet. i was about to practically fall out of my chair when my name was called- jerking me up from whatever sleeping haze i was put into. "yes?" i asked alertly.

the woman began to finally address my presence. something along the lines of, "you will be given the track and two weeks to complete the full dance registry." i nodded mindlessly along at her voice until i began to realize what she was saying. "ahn jaehyun." she spoke again- genuinely grasping my attention. "you've been selected as the main choreographer for this group..you realize that right?"

"y-yes ma'am." i spewed out. she nodded in approval- going into more thorough details, but i was still stuck attempting wrap my head around this. i was going to be the sole choreographer for this group? all by myself? i've been here for like a month and a half, how-

she snapped me out of my thinking once again. "the group in question is stray kids by the way, ms. ahn."

now that was a game changer.
