the studio mirrors reflect a room thick with exhaustion — hoodies tied haphazardly around waists, stray bobby pins littering the floor, hair pulled into messy buns that have long since surrendered to the hours of rehearsal. the air smells like sweat and the sharp citrus of energy drinks, the kind of atmosphere where determination clings to every breath.
you’re mid-stretch, fingers brushing the polished hardwood, when the choreographer’s sharp clap cuts through the low hum of chatter.
"alright, listen up!" her voice carries over the thumping bass still echoing from the speakers. "for the bridge, we’re adding a duet section — y/n and giselle, you’ll be paired."
your head snaps up so fast your neck protests. across the room, aeri grins, already sauntering toward you with that effortless grace of hers. the overhead lights catch the sheen of sweat on her collarbones as she nudges your shoulder with hers.
"lucky me," she teases, voice dripping with playful arrogance. her fingers toy with the hem of her cropped tank top, and you don’t miss the way her eyes flicker down to your lips for half a second.
you roll your eyes, willing your cheeks not to betray you. "try not to step on my feet this time," you shoot back, though there’s no real bite to it.
aeri gasps, clutching her chest like you’ve wounded her. "excuse you? i’m a delicate artist," she declares, tossing her hair over one shoulder. the other dancers snicker, but your laughter dies in your throat when you catch a flicker of movement in the mirror.
she leans against the far mirror, arms crossed, one eyebrow arched. her water bottle dangles from her fingertips, half-crushed. the set of her jaw is tight, lips slightly parted as her dark eyes track the way aeri’s fingers linger on your wrist — a second too long, a touch too deliberate.
then the choreographer starts demonstrating the moves, and your stomach drops.
it’s sensual, to say the least.
a slow, winding sequence where your bodies press close, chest to chest, hands sliding from waists to shoulders with agonizing precision. hips roll in sync, a deliberate grind that makes your pulse stutter just thinking about performing it. the choreographer demonstrates with her assistant, their movements fluid and intimate, and your mouth goes dry.
aeri leans in, her breath warm against your ear. "well," she murmurs, voice laced with amusement, "this just got interesting."
you swallow hard, forcing yourself to focus on the steps, but out of the corner of your eye, jimin's grip tightens around her water bottle. the plastic crumples with a sharp crack, water sloshing over her fingers. she doesn’t even flinch.
and when the music starts, and aeri’s hands settle on your waist, you swear you see jimin's eyes darken.
her hands are confident, her movements fluid — every brush of her fingertips against your waist, every slow drag of her palm up your arm, sends a traitorous shiver down your spine. the choreography demands closeness, but the way she looks at you, like she’s memorizing the way your breath hitches when she pulls you in — makes it feel like something else entirely.
it’s just dancing, you remind yourself for the tenth time. just work.
a half-full water bottle slams between your feet, sending both you and aeri stumbling apart. the sound echoes sharply in the studio, and the music cuts off as everyone turns.
you already know who it is before you even look.
she’s crouched on the floor, one hand outstretched like she’s just attempted to catch the bottle, but the smirk playing on her lips betrays her.
“oops,” jimin says, blinking up at you with faux innocence, her voice dripping with saccharine sweetness. “my hand slipped.”
minjeong, leaning against the stereo, snorts into her palm. “yeah, sure it did.”
jimin ignores her, straightening up and stepping so close you have to tilt your head back to meet her gaze. the scent of her perfume wraps around you, and your pulse stutters.
“y/n,” she murmurs, voice low and honeyed, fingers brushing against yours in a touch so light it could be accidental. if you didn’t know better. “i need your help with my part.”
you blink. “but… you know your part.”
she always knows her part. yu jimin is perfect — every step, every angle, every breath calculated. she’s the one who corrects others, not the one who asks for help.
her thumb traces the inside of your wrist, slow and deliberate. “do i?”
aeri lets out an exaggerated sigh, rolling her shoulders. “just go,” she mutters, waving a hand, “before she combusts.”
jimin shoots her a glare sharp enough to cut glass, but she doesn’t deny it. instead, her fingers tighten around yours, tugging you toward the empty practice room down the hall.
the smaller practice room is quiet, the only sound the muffled bass from the main studio bleeding through the walls. the air is cooler here, the lights dimmer — more intimate. your pulse kicks up as jimin locks the door behind her with a soft click, the sound final.
not that you’re complaining.
she turns, leaning back against the door, arms crossed. the sharp line of her collarbones glistens with sweat, her tank top clinging to her torso. her gaze is heavy, unreadable.
"show me the duet," she says, voice low.
you swallow. "rina, you don’t need—"
you guide her through the steps, careful to keep space between you — professional distance, just like you did with aeri. but jimin?
on the first turn, instead of the light brush of fingertips the choreography calls for, she pulls you in until your chests press together, her hands sliding down your back, possessive.
"closer," she murmurs, lips skimming the curve of your ear.
your breath hitches. "that’s not how the choreo—"
her thigh slots between yours, her fingers tracing the line of your jaw, tilting your face toward hers. every point of contact burns—her hips rolling against yours in a slow, deliberate grind, her breath fanning over your skin as she guides you through the next move.
"aeri didn’t do it like this," she whispers, voice dripping with satisfaction.
you shiver. "n-no, she didn’t."
jimin smirks, spinning you until your back hits the mirror, her body caging you in. the glass is cool against your overheated skin, a sharp contrast to the heat of her.
her lips crash into yours.
she doesn't rush. instead, she lingers just inches away, her dark eyes tracing your face like she's committing every detail to memory. you can feel her breath, warm and uneven, ghosting over your lips.
"jimin…" your voice comes out barely above a whisper, fingers trembling where they rest against her shoulders.
her thumb brushes your lower lip, slow and deliberate.
"you looked so good with her," she murmurs, voice thick with something unspoken. "too good." the pad of her thumb presses gently, parting your lips. "i didn't like it."
then she's closing the distance. not crashing, but melting against you. the first brush of her lips is feather-light, testing, giving you every chance to pull away.
when you don't, when you sigh into the kiss instead, she deepens it with a quiet sound that might be relief.
her hands cradle your face like you're something precious, fingertips tracing the curve of your jaw as her mouth moves against yours with aching slowness. there's no urgency, just the gradual give-and-take of lips learning each other, the occasional catch of breath when she nips gently at your lower lip.
"you taste like mint," she murmurs between kisses, nose brushing against yours. "and that strawberry balm you always use." another soft press of lips. "i've been thinking about this all day."
one of her hands slides into your hair, not gripping but carding through the strands with unbearable tenderness even as her other arm wraps around your waist to pull you flush against her. the contrast — the firmness of her body against yours versus the gentleness of her kiss — makes your knees weak.
when she finally pulls back, it's just far enough to rest her forehead against yours. her breathing is uneven, lips slightly swollen, and the look in her eyes makes your stomach flip.
"now," she whispers, thumb stroking your cheekbone, "let's try that duet again. properly."
when you finally return to the group — hair disheveled, lips swollen, jimin’s fingers laced tightly with yours — the girls take one look at you and burst into knowing smirks.
ningning nearly chokes on her water. "took you long enough," she coughs, shaking her head.
minjeong just sighs, rubbing her temples. "we were taking bets, you know. i had money on jimin snapping by wednesday."
aeri, leaning against the stereo, arches a brow. "told you she’d combust," she says, grinning when jimin flips her off.
but jimin doesn’t rise to the bait. instead, she tugs you against her side, her smile smug as she presses a kiss to your knuckles.
"mine," she whispers, just for you.
you wouldn’t have it any other way.
