whether this guy, junse, knows who ten is or not he’s come to the right guy. create a viral tiktok dance on the spot? easy, ten thinks. he’s got a tiktok, but he doesn’t post on it, he’s been meaning to, but his youtube comes first, and the community of teenagers on tiktok sort of scares him. but, if he’s doing it for someone else, then why the hell not, right?
but, ten knows he’s a pro at freestyling, so the request only makes him grin and stretch his arms out a little. “you ready?” he asks the guy with the camera, stretching his neck from left to right. he laughs, wondering what song the guy will have him freestyling to. hopefully it’s hip hop or pop, and not something contemporary since he’s more confident that he can create a catch, easy to follow but visually pleasing freestyle dance for hip hop.
the music starts and he vaguely recognises it. he smiles, knowing, pretty confidently, where the beats fall and the drop and shift. he starts to move to the music just a little, before he twists his hips, tapping his heels against the ground as his legs cross over his body. his hands raised up, palms facing the camera, he then snaps them in a criss cross over his chest and as one hand lifts up and out he closes a fist and snaps his head the opposite way, dropping into a half squat with his legs spread wide. his hands drop to the top of his thighs, gripping his sweats as he lens for side to side and lifts his feet to tap his heels on the ground each time he leans away from one foot. then he pops back into a standing position, and then with a hit to the side of his head on a beat he staggers out of frame with a cheeky grin.
“there. that good?” he asks the dude, junse, smiling at him. he was pretty pleased with what he’d done, and is sort of looking forward to see how it would do on this guys tiktok. “what’s ur tiktok username, so i can see it when you post?” he asks, then opens the app to go and find his account and follow him. he doesn’t really know what to expect from it, but he hopes people like it, since he doesn’t think he’s done too badly with the freestyle.
“i hope it gets you lots of followers, bro. can i see it?” he says with a light laugh, tucking his hands into his pants pocket and peering round at the camera screen. he watches the video back and hums with a single nod. “i hope you... tiktokers like it.”
