CH 1
The studio entryway is lined with old photographs. As you enter you walk slow, admiring the moments frozen in time. A grainy group photo catches your eye. A 20 year old version of yourself stares back at you accompanied by your fellow dancers with a pre-debut BIGBANG at the center. Seeing their oversized clothes and toothy grins transports you back to a chilly night in 2006âŠ
âšâšâšâšâšâšâšâšâš
âMind if I bum a cigarette off you?â He asks as a boyish grin spreads across his face. His hair is dark and shaggy, covering one eye.
âSure.â You say, passing one to him, lighting it.
âIâm Seunghyun by the way.â Smoke billows from his nostrils as he exhales.
âY/Nâ you reply with a slight blush. Heâs cute, in an emo kind of way, innocent. âHave you been a trainee long?â
âAbout 3 months. You?â
âThree years.â You exhale, defeated, leaning against the brick wall. âI fear Iâm destined to stay one.â
âYou never know, things could turn out differently.â
You shake your head. âNot when YG tells you itâs over.â You say before taking a long drag of your cigarette. âIâm too eccentric, leaving me to be, hmm letâs see how he put itâŠabrasive and unapproachable. Iâve been demoted to back up dancer for the next boy group out of pityâŠif Iâm lucky.â
Seunghyun frowns. âI get it. I was denied at first. So I proved him wrong and he gave me a chance.â He says encouragingly.
âGood for you earning back his good graces. You must really want to be an idol.â
âA rapper. I want to be a rapper.â
You can see the determination in his eyes. âHmmm, you have a cool rap name? Or is Seunghyun all you have to offer?â You tease.
He smirks. âTempo. I went by Tempo for a while doing small stages here and there in the underground scene. I write my own lyrics and make my own beatsâŠjust gotta prove myself.â
âWell, I hope you get your wish, Tempo.â You smile, dropping your cigarette butt to the ground. âIâll see you around.â
âââââââââ
Six months later, you find yourself in the YG studio while your choreographer barks orders at you and your fellow dancemates .
âAlright, the debut performance is on the 19th. This performance will either make or break this group so everyone has to be at their best. We donât need any of you fucking this up or YG will have my head. Y/N are you listening?â She asks, pointing at you directly.
You snap out of your daydream and face your choreographer. âUh, yeahâŠbig debut, got it.â
âBIGBANG has the potential to completely change things around here. Thereâs a possibility for permanent employment as part of their touring dance team if this works out. So do your best when the boys arrive.â
You roll your eyes. For the past 6 months youâve been introduced to countless acts, each one reportedly more promising than the last only to have them fizzle out before making a debut. You had just turned 20 and were seriously considering waitressing the rest of your life if this group didnât pan out. You just wanted to dance and get paid so you could work towards your goal of owning your own studio.
When the door opens, Hyun-Suk himself enters, giving a pitch about the importance of the debut and how BIGBANG would change the history of K Pop moving forward.
âBlah blah blah.â You say under your breath. âItâs not like we havenât heard this twenty times over the last few months.â
âNo, this oneâs legit. Kwon Jiyong is a part of it. Heâs been here for six years and is practically YGâs star child.â A fellow dancer shares.
Kwon Jiyong had welcomed you to YG when you initially became a trainee. He was talented but a little too cocky for your taste. You had a few interactions here and there but usually steered clear of one another. Truthfully, you didnât run into many of the exclusive trainees anymore since being demoted. You were now lackluster and replaceable at any moment. If this partnership panned out, it could be beneficial for you.
Once the speech is over, BIGBANG enters. Four gangly boys under the age of 20 appear in front of you and your colleagues. They introduce themselves one by one. G-Dragon, Sol, D-Lite, andâŠTempo? Seunghyun comes in last with his dimples on full display. Heâs awkward, as always, but now thereâs a confidence in him you hadnât seen before. He actually made itâŠ
âIâm TOP.â Seunghyun says, shyly.
You take note of the name change and blend in with everyone as you begin learning the choreography. TOP is by no means a strong dancer often standing still as if recalibrating in an attempt to join back in with the boys. You laugh to yourself thinking about him debuting. He's going to need all the help he can get in the dance departmentâŠ
After what feels like hours of dancing to prove yourself, you line up in front of the mirrored wall waiting to be chosenâŠor declined. BIGBANG gathers in a corner deliberating. Girls are pointed at one by one and asked to leave. Then Jiyong asks you and four other girls to step forward.
This is it, Iâm either in or outâŠyou think as your heart begins thumping in your ears.
Jiyong asks your friend Sora to join him, long time dancer Ye-jin is instructed to join Youngbae, and a new girl named Yuna is placed with Daesung. You and Eun-Jin, an older dancer and fellow idol reject, remain.
Jiyong goes into a discussion about how you both show great potential but partnering with TOP will be a challenge as he doesnât dance as well as his peers. You lock eyes with Seunghyun, recognition flashes across his face and he smiles at you. You feel a flutter in your chest.
âEun-Jin, thank you for your time, you can go.â
You watch in disbelief as she leaves the room.
âY/N you are clearly the best choice.â Jiyong says. âSeunghyun canât dance to save his life. Your technique and energy will be more than enough to push him forward. Welcome to the team.â
You walk over, joining him. âWell, well, wellâŠTempo gets to be a rapper.â You say poking his chest, which is surprisingly toned.
âAnd you get to be part of a debut after all.â He grins.
âââââââââ
You have your work cut out for you as you learn choreo and do your best to push Tempo in the right direction. Heâs stiff and uncoordinated but with practice, lots of it, youâre able to hide the worst parts. Itâs when youâre off stage that things really crumble.
One night, after a grueling rehearsal and a stern talk from Hyun-Suk, you find Seunghyun practicing well past midnight. His shirt wet with sweat, his cheeks pink from exertion.
âTempo? What are you still doing here? We have a show tomorrow.â You say, startling him.
âI could ask you the same question.â He says breathlessly, grinning at the use of his old stage name. You still refused to refer to him as TOP. It had become almost a pet name between the two of you.
âIf you really want to know, I was in the other studio dancing for my own enjoyment.â You smile, taking a seat on the floor, leaning against the mirrored wall. âIâm just a back up dancer. I can afford to look sleepy on stageâŠyouâre the face card. They need you looking fresh.â You chuckle, making spirit fingers.
âIâm trying to get my shit together. My face alone wonât save me from Hyun-suk if I donât start memorizing this choreography.â He sighs, taking a seat beside you.
âHmmm, I don't know. I bet there will come a day where you can just stand onstage and that will be enough.â You smile, passing him your water bottle.
Seunghyun takes a long drink. âNot according to the boss.â
You bite your lip as he takes the hem of his shirt to wipe the sweat from his face. You note his incredibly toned stomachâŠCarefulâŠ
He leans his head back against the wall and looks at you. âThis face will never be enoughâŠâ he frowns.
Without thinking, you reach your hand out, brushing his shaggy dark hair away from his face. âOh, I donât know. Your boyish features are fading into that of a male idol. Youâll be a sex symbol in no time.â
Thereâs a moment of quiet before Seunghyun grabs your wrist and pulls you into a kiss.
You freeze.
âShit, I am sorryâŠI donât know why I did that.â His words tumble from his mouth in a panic. âI should go, I donât want to make this weird.â
You grab his shirt before he stands, pulling him back to the spot beside you. âStop. Talkingâ You say as you straddle him, pulling him back into a kiss.
One of his hands makes its way to your waist while the other slides up the back of your neck.
You shift just right in his lap causing a quiet groan to escape his lips. You smile to yourself, as you deepen the kiss, taking control.
âFuck, Y/N. You donât know how bad I have wanted this.â
âHmmm, I think I have a pretty good idea.â You grin, feeling him harden as you grind slowly in his lap.
Just as his hand begins to slide under your shirt, a door slams in the distance causing you both to scramble to your feet, walking in opposite directions of one another.
You run your hands through your hair. âFuck, that was close.â
âIt wonât happen again.â Seunghyun says quickly, adjusting his pants, clearly hiding his erection.
You look back at him, a sly smile spreading across your face. âOr we could be discrete.â
He raises a brow. âHide it?â
âI donât mind keeping a secret.â You say before placing a kiss on his cheek and heading out the door.
_______________________
A secret is exactly what your relationship became. The 2007 âWant You Tourâ lasted only a few months through five cities in Korea but it was the perfect amount of time for Seunghyun to fall for youâŠand for you, much to your dismay, to fall for him as well.
It began as casual make-outs in the abandoned YG break room, accelerated into grinding on each other in one of the recording booths after hours, and then blossomed into you taking his virginity one night on the road in your hotel room.
He had been so quiet, so reserved, soâŠSeugnhuyn.
You recall the exceptionally heavy make out session on your bed. You reaching down to unbutton his pants and him immediately taking control, rolling you over onto your back, his arms bracketing your body.
âYouâre sure?â Heâd asked you, with so much consideration in his voice.
âOf course Iâm sure.â You replied, rolling your eyes playfully. âIâve been waiting for thisâŠâ
âI-Iâve neverâŠâ
You remember looking into his dark eyes, seeing both excitement and hesitancy all wrapped up into one.
âDonât worry, Iâve got you.â You smiled, shimmying off your own pants and underwear.
His hands had a slight tremble as he pulled the condom from his pocket and removed his own pants.
He was much bigger than you had initially anticipated and he caught the surprise that registered on your face.
âWhat?â
âJustâŠa lot to take in.â
At that moment, you both blushed.
When he entered you the feeling was overwhelming, your plan to keep your cool lost in a single thrust. Sure, he had been a virgin but Choi Seunghyun didnât perform like one. That night, he got to know your body, your wants, your needs, and from that point forward, he never failed to deliver.
âšâšâšâšâšâšâšâšâšâšâš
You snap out of your daydream when you hear someone call your name. Looking up, you spot one of Seunghyunâs childhood friends.
âHey.â You smile, embracing them in a hug.
âDidnât think Iâd see you here. Itâs been years.â He says, glancing around the hallway. âItâs like a museum out here.â
âMakes it easy to relive the past.â You say as you gesture to the photos.
âWell, it's good to see you here supporting him. Iâll see you inside later?â He asks.
âOf course, I wouldnât miss it.â You watch as he turns and walks away.
You continue looking at some of the older pictures featuring the early tours where your relationship with Seunghyun took root.
You laugh to yourself thinking about it. Once the initial jitters of the âfirst timeâ was out of the way, sex became a game of âwhen and where can we make this happen?â The YG rehearsal room closet, the back seat of a car, a utility closet in Japan, and then countless hotel rooms in between, no place was off limits.
Times were simpler thenâŠYou say quietly to yourself, as you head down the hallway towards the main studio.
