Steve started going to the gym the day after Eddie dumped him.

Technically, the two events were unrelated. Eddie avoided the gym like the plague so it wasn’t like Steve was going out of his way to meet him and they had a 30% membership discount the month of April, so really he was just taking advantage of a good deal.

Honestly, Steve worked out when he was stressed and he really needed that adrenaline hit to stop himself from crawling into the fridge and never coming out again.

He’d gotten up at 6AM, made sure that he looked semi presentable to be out in public and was just settling onto the running machine when the sound of Metallica started blasting from the Pilates room just opposite the regular gym.

After Steve recovered from his almost panic attack thinking that Eddie was actually getting fit, and the confusion at the instructor using fucking Metallica for 6AM Pilates, Steve decided in a bored, sad, slightly horny way, to check out the class.

Well, the instructor definitely wasn’t Eddie.

Eddie didn’t have those muscles.

Eddie didn’t have bleach blonde hair.

Eddie didn’t have a fucking tongue piercing.

Steve quickly decided he was in way over his head and frantically started to back away from the door but it was too late. The guy had already seen him and was gesturing him over.

Fucking shit.

The instructor was called Billy. Which was fun. He’d just moved to Hawkins from Los Angeles (why???????) and he was always up for new students so why didn’t Steve give it a go, he promised the Metallica was just a joke since it never failed to wake everyone up.

Steve was not a Pilates guy. That was all he learned from the hour long session. Well, that and when Billy’s tongue flicked out and did a little corkscrew, he looked like he’d be really good at eating- no Steve. Bad thoughts. No rebound.

Billy clapped a firm hand on Steve’s shoulder on the way out and Steve swore he started developing a semi.

This was not going to work.

He did what he always did when considering bad horny decisions and called Carol. The conversation was short and to the point.

“Babe didn’t Munson dump you literally like yesterday?”

She was popping her gum across the line. It was infuriating. Steve took a deep breath before responding.

“Well yeah but-“

Carol cut him off. She had a habit of doing that.

“Yeah but nothing babe.” Her voice trailed out of his phone like cigarette smoke, dancing across his room. “Either you let me key his dumbass weed van or you give up any dreams you’ve ever had about bouncing on blondie muscleface’s dick. Kay babe?”

Then she hung up.

Steve decided to go to Pilates class every day for the following two weeks. It kind of grew on him. Heather, the assistant instructor was bitchy and fun in a way he liked and her long acrylics reminded him of Carol. He made a mental note to himself to introduce her to Robin.

Things on the Billy side of things had not improved however. They’d gotten significantly worse. He was getting boners in public like a teenager, couldn’t speak in full sentences and his heart started doing that gooey mushy thing, especially when Billy told him he’d done a good job.

It’s a rebound not a crush had become his new mantra. Unfortunately, it wasn’t exactly true.

It was definitely a crush. A big one. Even bigger than the ones he’d had on Jonathan or Nancy or Eddie. And it was a problem.

He didn’t do a Clueless and start wearing revealing athletics wear or anything but he did start flirting just a little. To test out if what he thought had been completely made up in his brain or if something was actually happening.

Billy consistently responded with innuendos so intense, they would make Tommy ask him to cool it.

Ok. So Billy seemed to like him back. All Steve needed to do was ask him to dinner or something. No biggie.

He walked into next Mondays class with a mission which was immediately shattered by Billy wearing a signed Corroded Coffin t shirt. And Corroded Coffin was still small as shit, if Billy had it signed, he was friends with Eddie no doubt.

Running out of the class may not have been the most dignified option but it was the only one his dumbass brain could think of at the time.

He ran all the way back to his apartment onto his bed then cried. After half an hour he decided to check his phone only to be faced with a text from a number Steve must have just thought he’d blocked.

Eddie 💖🖤☺️

Can we talk?

Steve messaged back telling him to go away but five seconds later relented and said sure.

The phone started ringing immediately.

“Hey Steve. Why’d you run out of Billy’s Pilates class?”

Steve wanted to laugh. Or cry. Or both. He decided to keep his tone on the cooler side of polite.

“Did he tell you about that?”

There was a long silence for about five minutes before Eddie answered.

“Look Steve……….I know I wasn’t a gentleman when I dumped you. I shouldn’t have just run from the restaurant. That was a dick move. But I really do like Jason and I know for a fact Billy likes you. And you deserve each other. Really.”

Steve sniffled but didn’t answer

“Friends again?” Eddie’s voice was uncharacteristically quiet.

“Friends.”

Billy looked slightly frantic the next Pilates class. His hair was a mess and he was wearing a hat with a food stain on it somehow. His face visibly relaxed when he saw Steve.

Billy wasn’t a rebound. He was kind and friendly and opened the door to people who were struggling to get out. His hair was a stupid 80s mullet in 2024, his tattoos were atrocious and Steve thought it might be too soon to say it but he was pretty sure he was in love with him.

Dinner was a good start though, Steve thought as Billy laced their fingers together after the class. Dinner was good.

How to find a man.

Hinge is the best dating app; avoid Tinder, Bumble, Seeking, and any of the sugar sites. Spend minimal time looking for a date online (way too much Splenda). I’ve met a lot of great men on Hinge but I think that the algorithm is fucked and too many men delete the app due to privacy concerns. It’s easier to meet men IRL.

Look up conferences and make an effort to either be in the area or actually go to them if they’re in your field of interest. I met some of my best at medical conferences and CME events; Google conventions and get going. I went to a conference of orthopedic surgeons last year, met so many people and got so many numbers, and got my summer job here in New York by going to another conference. You will 100% meet people but it’s up to you to deepen the connection and make friends.

Dress the part but don’t overdo it. I found that I had less interest when I was wearing Chanel or super leveled up outfits and much more interest when I was dressed in the aesthetic that I created and suits me. I can go more into this topic and talk about what worked for me as a dark skinned woman/what I think works best. Having an aesthetic will help you meet people.

Know how to do your makeup and hair so that you can do touch ups on the go. Also, it’s in your best interests to get your nails done simply. If you look fresh and good, you’ll get more interest from women who want to befriend you and men who want to know you. You can’t meet people if you don’t look good and you don’t want to put yourself in a position where you look like a joke. Black women have to be the best to succeed at times but being the best doesn’t always mean looking like you have money, sometimes you need to be casual.

If you want a man to be willing to invest in you, you have to be willing to invest in yourself. This is even more important if you have no plans to do the whole online thing and only plan to freestyle and meet people in person. Your appearance has to be top tier if you want a man to pour thousands into leveling you up and you want to live the true spoiled girlfriend soft wife life.

Don’t discount freestyling or meeting men at a casual job. I’m in the process of becoming a yoga instructor and I’ve met so many wealthy men who want to enjoy my company and my classes. If you have an office job, don’t do it but if you’re working at a cafe or at a yoga/Pilates studio then I’d recommend meeting people.

If you’re in a major city, the young and wealthy tech guys, finance bros, and entrepreneurs are going to be at places like SoHo House. If you’re looking for new money rich, no older than 35-40, and single then this is the sort of place you’ll want to go to. Meghan met Harry at SoHo, Snapchat used to go to SoHo before he met Miranda Kerr on a yacht, and Alexis Ohanion was a member before he met Serena Williams. Go where it’s been proven the men are and you will meet someone.

Introduce yourself. I met my whale at a restaurant. He was sitting at a bar and paid for our whole meal, I went up and introduced myself, and the rest is history. Some of the most well known spoiled women have met their marks by making a move and introducing themselves. Even if he’s with friends (mine was), just go up and don’t be shy. It’s forward but the forward woman wins.

(my new years resolution was to be more brave, and to prioritize wellness, so here are a few things i did this year:

tried a candlelight yoga class (ended up only doing this for about a month because there was one class someone fell asleep in and was full blown snoring and THAT threw off my vibe and the class wasn't even at cap and could've squeezed another 25 people into the room nope).

started a consistent workout routine, and now (schedule permitting) i full work out three times a week, and have become genuine friends with my climb and pilates instructors (also, for a girl with massive tummy issues, pilates is the bravest thing you can do iykyk).

also as a caveat to the workout routine, and regularly attending classes. something i realized that helped tremendously is you can literally just leave. i went to a few classes where i did not like the instructor and they'd be there YELLING at 7am, and go SO HARD for no reason, and say things like "yeah work off that easter candy" which like--no, absolutely not,-- and i got off my reformer/climber and LEFT. no harm no foul. bye. you dont like it? you can leave.

after spending YEARS traveling over an hour to get my hair done, i went to a new stylist 15 minutes from me in February and it was the best decision.

investing in getting my eyebrows done. again, was really brave. had never let anyone else touch my eyebrows but was tired of doing them myself. and now i can literally wake up and go about my life and i love it

traveled to some new states and new islands

was offered a position to teach art at a college and said yes and it has literally been the biggest, most unexpected joy. i never saw myself teaching (and to be honest, still not interested in doing it full time) let alone teaching art, but it has be so wonderful.

experimented with new art forms

this is very niche, but i went to Canada and walked across a swinging suspension bridge and it was terrifying but i was so brave

in lieu of prioritizing wellness, i started bullet journalling, and i get it. I'm not insane (yet) with my millions of markers but, i get it

what they don't tell you about moving in with a partner is this like...subtle shift in brain ideas that like...you need to eat the same things/at the same time. Idk--at least i felt pressure for this-- which resulted in a lot more takeout and a lot less cooking because i have a less...finicky palette than my partner. but 2024, i (kindly) stopped caring, and made what i wanted to make and eat. if he ate it, great, if not, not my problem. and that was a huge shift for me.

heading into 2025 with a commitment to prioritize creativity and more art, more art, more art.)

jasper becomes a pilates instructor when Steven leaves to compensate her need to fight. Physical endurance and training and yelling at people to do things the right way for several hours on end seems something up her alley. Violent yoga to work out her issues.

Dirty, Dirty Dancing Pt. 6

A Dirty Dancing AU

Pairing: Yunho X Female Reader X Hyunjin (polyamorous relationship)

Word Count: 5.3K

Synopsis: The college campus where boyfriend, Yunho, is a visiting dance instructor seems like every other university you’ve visited until a secret party reveals it’s anything but. After a drunken mishap, promising dance student, Hyunjin, is left without a dance partner. Enlisted in helping him before a big audition, you begin to catch feelings for him. Can you help him and maintain a relationship with your boyfriend?

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5

~Admin V

             It was just you and Hyunjin in the studio since Yunho had ballet and pilates to teach for the morning.

             You were still feeling a little uneasy about everything but kept repeating the mantra of ‘it’s just a job’ over and over again in your head.

             The first move to work on was wrapping your arm behind you and around Hyunjin’s neck. At first, you thought the problem would be that you’d be all blushy because of how sensual it was. However, it quickly became an issue that you were ticklish and kept giggling as his fingertips brushed down your arm.

             Once you were able to do it without squirming and keep a mostly straight face, it was spinning out then back into his grip. That part was fun and something you enjoyed. Hyunjin encouraged you to show your emotions on your face, as the facial expressions were part of the dance.

             The following move required some trust, as he held onto you and dipped you backward in a circular motion.

             All of these movements ended with you looking into Hyunjin’s eyes, which was becoming trouble for you. The old routine had zero eye contact and you were now very aware of your allure towards Hyunjin. It’s just a job. It’s just a job.

             Of course, you had to be reminded about keeping your shoulders down and posture straight, along with other things he told you before. But when you felt lost or confused this time, instead of being strict about it, Hyunjin reminded you that dancing was a heartbeat, and the two of you would take a moment to find it together, each time with your hand on his chest while he held it in place, stepping to the rhythm.

             When you weren’t looking into Hyunjin’s gaze, your back was pressed against him, your bodies swaying in unison, his hands on your arms, or waist, or thighs, his scent invading your nose.

             As you felt a pang in your belly, which you were definitely choosing to ignore, you continued chanting, it’s just a job. It’s just a job.

             Yunho and Felix came into the studio as 11:00 rolled around. You’d worked on half the routine by then and showed the boys what you knew so far.

             “It looks much better than the other routine,” Felix smiled.

             “Yes,” Yunho agreed. “The chemistry is much more visible, and you look so much more comfortable, baby.”

             Covering your face as your blush filled your cheeks, you said small thank-yous for the compliments.

             Hyunjin and Felix had to leave for class, leaving you and Yunho like the first day of your dance-life.

             “Do you want to practice it a little with me before we eat lunch?”

             “Okay,” you nodded.

             Both of you laughed when you tried to reach behind for his neck. He had to spread his legs until he was Hyunjin’s height so you could reach more securely. As you continued with the dance, it felt easier with Yunho, like you could breathe as you were doing the movements. Was it because your connection with him was stronger?

             The two of you did the parts of the routine you knew about four times, feeling good about remembering the motions, before taking a break to eat.

             You’d packed sandwiches for the two of you. Curled up in a chair in the offices, you focused on chewing the different textures in your mouth so you didn’t have to think.

             “What’s wrong, baby?”

             You looked up at Yunho. “What?”

             “You’re spaced out over there. Are you okay?”

             Shaking your head quickly, you set your sandwich down. “Just giving my brain a rest from counting steps and remembering positions.” Or thinking about why it felt so different dancing the same routine with each man.

             He stared at you for a while then grinned. “Okay.”

             When you were finished eating, Yunho helped you with different stretches. He then had an idea to play music and just dance freely to help you loosen up. He held your hands as he spun you and pulled you in and out from him. He would also spin. When you were both laughing, he lifted you and twirled around. Soon you forgot about all the worry of whatever it was you were feeling when you danced with Hyunjin.

             Finally, Yunho went back to working on Hyunjin’s routine with you. Since he helped to choreograph it, he started showing you the next moves you hadn’t learned yet. After learning a new step, you would do it a few times, then do the whole dance from the beginning with music.

             Before you knew it, it was 2:00. When Hyunjin returned, he was piggy-back-carrying Yeji. Felix walked in with them.

             Yunho ran to get a chair for Yeji and helped Hyunjin set her down. He then looked to Hyunjin. “We’ve been practicing and I taught her the next part.”

             Yeji, Felix, and Hyunjin said encouragements to see the dance so far.

             There was a little bit of pressure to dance in front of Yeji and Felix, but as Yunho reached for your wrist and pulled your arm around him, you focused on him and the movements of your bodies.

             At the last part you knew, you stopped dancing and looked to the others expectantly.

             Hyunjin looked very pleased and clapped his hands. “It looks good, like you actually know the steps and aren’t struggling to remember.”

             Your attention then went to Yeji and Felix. Though Felix saw some of it earlier, it was clear he hadn’t expected it to get so sexy. You could see it in Yeji’s eyes that she understood why you freaked out to her yesterday.

                  “Well,” Felix started. “I can see why you no longer want Changbin to fill in.”

                  Yunho and Hyunjin laughed, and even dared to look a little shy, since they were the ones who came up with the dance.

                  Felix looked to Hyunjin. “Can you do it for us, too?”

                  Anxiety was back. It’s just a job. Exhaling, you were ready and did the same moves with Hyunjin. Being so close and touching in certain ways brought the butterflies back to your stomach, but you ignored them and just pushed through the steps until you were out of moves.

                  “Huh,” Felix scratched his head.

                  All eyes were on him.

                  “What?” Hyunjin brushed his hair back.

                  “When dancing with Yunho,” Felix was talking directly to you, “you seemed more relaxed. When dancing with Hyunjin, it seems like you’re holding back, like you’re scared to let go.”

                  Well fuck. That’s why it felt like you could finally breathe when dancing with Yunho; you were holding back with Hyunjin.

                  “It’s probably just because of your relationship with Yunho,” Felix continued. “You probably didn’t even realize you were doing it.”

                  You weren’t sure of what to say.

                  “Ah, you’re probably right,” Yunho spoke up. He was smiling and didn’t look at all bothered. “Baby, come here for a second.”

                  Yunho pulled you into a corner away from the others and spoke so only you could hear. “You’re holding back because of last night, right?”

                  Exhaling, you nodded.

                  He rubbed your shoulder. “You’re still my girl, right?”

                  You nodded again.

                  “You don’t have to hold back. It’s a few days and it’s over. I trust you. You can trust yourself too, right?”

                  The problem was, yourself was telling you that you might have feelings for both of them and want a relationship with both of them and them with each other.

                  Yunho kissed your forehead and pulled you back to the others.

                  “Felix, you and I should head over to the other studio for our class.” Yunho then bowed his head towards Hyunjin. “You two, good luck practicing. Yeji,” he turned on his heel, “nice seeing you.”

                  Yeji, Hyunjin, and you all waved good-byes to them as they left, then Yeji turned sharply towards Hyunjin. “Hyunnie, could you get me a bottle of water?”

                  He huffed at Yeji. “Felix asked you when we came in if you wanted anything and you declined.”

                  “Well I wasn’t thirsty then and I am now.” She lifted her casted leg. “Are you really going to make me go and get it?”

                  Sighing in defeat, he brushed his hands through his hair.

                  Yeji quickly dug through her bag then threw her wallet at him. “You should get some drinks for y’all, too.”

                  “Fine,” he waved her off then left the room.

                  When he was surely out of earshot, Yeji turned to you. “Holy shit!”

                  “I know,” you nodded.

                  “When you came to me yesterday, I thought maybe there was some exaggeration, but this!”

                  “Yup,” you nodded again.

                  “We should’ve drank more,” she shook her head. She looked you over carefully. “How are you doing with all this? Did you talk to Yunho?”

                  “Not doing as well as I thought according to Felix’s assessment. But yeah, we kinda talked.”

                  “Kinda?”

                  “Polyamory never came up, and when I remembered to bring it up, it no longer seemed like the right time to talk about it.”

                  “Ugh.”

                  “Yeah,” you played with your fingers as you agreed.

                  “Can I ask what he said to you just now?”

                  “He knows I’m purposely holding back. He told me to think of this as a job, which I’ve been doing, but to relax, and let go of the fears I’m having. At the end of the day, I’m his girl and to just remember that.”

                  “Woof,” she pulled her face.

                  Sighing, you couldn’t help but pace. “I know.”

                  “He is right though. Thinking of it as a job is smart. It is a job, just like acting or being a musician.”

                  You just nodded as you agreed with her.

                  “Is there anything I can do?”

                  “Like what?”

                  She shook her head. “Truthfully, I don’t know.”

                  “What don’t you know?” Hyunjin walked back in holding three bottles of water and Yeji’s wallet.

                  “Do you mind going back out for like two minutes?” Yeji glared at him.

                  “Why?” He looked between the two of you. “What are you talking about?”

                  Continuing to glare, Yeji straightened in her seat. “Girl talk.”

                  “Girl talk?” A smirk formed on his lips.

                  You were at a loss of words. You knew he knew something was up, but you yourself weren’t really sure what it was or how to explain it.

                  “I have a crush on Changbin and we’re discussing it. So can we have two fucking minutes or what?”

                  Both yours and Hyunjin’s mouth fell open. Hyunjin’s opened and closed like a fish for a few seconds, then he quickly turned and left again.

                  Staring at Yeji in surprise, you shook your head as you tried to recover. “Thank you for not outing me. I’m sorry you outed yourself.”

                  She waved her hand. “If Hyun says anything, it could be a nudge that dumbass needs to finally make a move.” Her gaze was now serious. “What do you need from me?”

                  Sighing, you shook your head. “I guess, just be honest with what you see. You’re here to help with the routine, right? Tell me when I’m being stiff, or doing something wrong. Help me to help him with the audition. Anything else, I guess we’ll just deal with it when we come across it.”

                  “Okay,” she nodded. After you both took a deep breath, she called out to Hyunjin.

                  He came in looking a little awkward, but didn’t say anything as he handed you both water bottles.

                  “So, back to learning the routine?” You smiled.

                  Exhaling and looking grateful, Hyunjin took you to the middle of the floor.

                  You went over all of what you knew one more time for Yeji.

                  As you were learning new steps to the dance, she didn’t hold back to tell you and Hyunjin about her opinions. As she watched the two of you, she decided at some points to get up and hobble to you, repositioning the movements or explaining how certain actions should feel to give a specific look. She made Hyunjin sit and watch as she showed you how to play with your hair or move your arms for some steps, and facial expressions to use at others. She also gave some critique to Hyunjin, which was comforting in that it wasn’t just you who needed help.

                  Before long it was dinner time. Yunho brought food for all of you. Instead of going to the instructor offices you all ate at the edge of the room where Yeji was sitting. 

                  A little while after, Changbin came to collect Yeji and take her back to her dorm. It was clear he was hurt as he avoided eye contact with you or Hyunjin. You’d have to make him cookies or something when you apologized to him.

                  Out of habit, when you were all finished eating, you started cleaning up plates. Hyunjin followed and wrapped up any leftovers while Yunho ran to the offices for wet-wipes to clean any crumbs left on the floor.

                  Yunho asked Hyunjin if he wanted to continue practicing, but Hyunjin explained he had other classwork he’d been neglecting.

                  The three of you parted. You’d been thankful he declined. Dancing and catering were two different animals and your body was still trying to get used to it. There were new places where you were sore, including your feet, and overall, you just felt really exhausted.

                  The next morning, Yunho had a little time before he had promised to go to the theater to help start preparations and watch performances for the senior showcase. He stretched with you and Hyunjin. The three of you went over the parts of the routine so far. Yunho stood behind you, his hands holding your hips as you moved. When you spun against Hyunjin, you were facing Yunho, and he continued to step with you.

                  You expected to feel stressed, dancing with Yunho as he knew you were feeling some kind of way for Hyunjin. But you didn’t. It was comfortable with both of them. There wasn’t any tension. Even though Yunho knew about the sex daydream, you didn’t sense any jealousy coming from him as Hyunjin touched you and held you in his arms while dancing. You weren’t sure of Hyunjin’s feelings, but he also seemed relaxed with Yunho there.

                  Soon, Yunho had to head out, leaving Hyunjin to finish teaching you the dance. He wanted to try a lift in the routine, but it made you nervous, once again feeling too heavy for that. He then suggested ending the dance in more of the ballroom fashion, holding you at a deep angle for a long dip.

                  The first attempt in trying it, despite his hand on your back, you felt like you were falling, let out a shriek, and grappled at his shoulders. Your reaction made him laugh, and then your embarrassment made you laugh.

                  “Why are you so afraid of falling?”

                  “What do you mean?”

                  “Our first dance, when you were sitting on my leg and we started spinning, you stuck to me like glue because you were scared you were going to fall. Same thing just now.”

                  “I don’t know.” You tucked loose hair behind your ear. “I just don’t like the feeling, I guess. Have you ever fallen in front of people?”

                  “In dance, of course.”

                  “What about falling in front of strangers?”

                  Hyunjin mulled it over but didn’t answer.

                  “I was pretty clumsy when I was younger. I fell down stairs and tripped going up them. I stumbled on uneven sidewalks. I’ve slipped on ice in winter while walking on the sidewalk. It’s unnerving to even fall, but then to have people witness it; to see them stare and smile or laugh, with maybe one person out of a group of many to check if you’re okay. I hate that feeling. Then of course if they’re related to you or pretending to be your friend, they constantly tease you about it.”

                 ��Any trace of a smile was gone from his face. “I’m sorry they made you feel like that.” Hyunjin mimicked a move from the routine as his hand traced the frame of your hair then cupped your cheek. “I won’t ever let you fall.”

                  The two of you stared at each other. You believed him; as long as you were in his arms, he’d keep you from looking like a fool.

                  There was that comfort again. Even without Yunho, you liked being around Hyunjin. And that’s when the pang of feeling more for him came back to you.

                  Suddenly realizing where his hands were, Hyunjin stepped back and cleared his throat. “So, this is why you never danced before?”

                  Looking at the floor and away from him, you nodded. “It’s the perfect breeding ground to trip and fall on your ass.”

                  Smiling, he straightened his stance. “Well, since we’ve established that I won’t let that happen, do you want to try the dip again?”

                  He talked you through the movements slowly first to go over what was happening. The next attempt at the dip, he only dropped you halfway. After checking how you felt and if you were ready to go lower, you started the step over, ending in the full drop. After practicing it a few times, you felt assured that his hold was secure and you could do it.

                  Finally, you’d finished learning the whole of the routine. Now you had to make sure you really knew it and to fine-tune it.

                  “Remember,” Hyunjin walked over to the stereo system to start the music. “Not just the steps. You need to feel the music.”

                  Feeling this music to this song and dance was a little different than doing the line dances. Sure, the line dances had a set formula of movement, but there were certain liberties that could be taken. With Hyunjin’s structured routine, there was less room to make it your own.

                  It sometimes got confusing to feel the music and follow the steps, which caused you to make mistakes and blunders. Unlike the first day dancing, Hyunjin didn’t get frustrated with you. He gave you suggestions and helped you run through the movements again. His new softness pulled on your heart. It’s just a job.

                  You both danced through the routine a few times with the music and without stopping. In the middle of dancing, another dance student walked in the spare studio.

                  “Hey guys, sorry to bother.” From their expression it was clear they bothered Hyunjin previously and it didn’t end so well. “The main studio is filled with people setting up for their final routines or the senior showcase. Would it be okay if a few of us took up a corner of the room?”

                  Peering from the doorway were quite a few students who needed a dance space.

                  Hyunjin looked down at his watch. “Damn, it’s past three.” He looked back to you. We missed lunch. Are you hungry?”

                  Not having eaten since around 8:00, you were definitely ready for food and nodded.

                  “The whole studio is yours,” he said to the other students.

                  They all looked relieved and piled in as the two of you left.

                  “The dining hall is closed after 1:30,” you exhaled as you walked outside.

                  “I have some ramen in the art studio, if that’s okay.”

                  “Sure.” You didn’t particularly care about ramen, having lived on the ramen diet more than a few times when you and Yunho were first starting out, but you were curious to see more of Hyunjin’s art.

                  Where the dance building was up a hill, the art building was down one. The studio room he took you to was on the first floor, but the building was set into the hill, giving you a dropped off view from the full wall of windows.

                  “Wow,” was all you could think as you walked towards the glass.

                  “Yeah. Natural light is better than the florescent lights when you’re working on art. So, this entire side of the building is one giant window.”

                  The view from the window showed a little bit of the lake and other surrounding buildings of the school.

                  “Explains why the price of food is so much in the dining hall.”

                  When you didn’t hear Hyunjin with a response, you turned to see his eyebrows scrunched together, not understanding your train of thought.

                  You smiled. “Tuition must be expensive as hell to pay for the upkeep of all the stuff this school has.”

                  “Ah,” he smiled back. “Yeah. Lucky for me, I got some scholarships.” He banged around a few cabinets and shuffled through some art supplies until he found where he stored his bowls of ramen.

                  There was a water dispenser in the corner. He opened each ramen bowl then filled them with hot water, setting them on the table and covering each with the thin paper lid.

                  “Should be a few minutes,” he said, coming to stand next to you.

                  You’d started looking at all the art in the room. You found the piece he was painting of the lake. There were several still lifes of flowers, some in vases, others just existing in space. Some of the art were side profiles of people and some were faces. The colors were always different and drastic, but all the edges were the same abstract, cloudy looking finish.

                  “Are all of these yours?”

                  “Yeah,” he gave a shy smile and ran his fingers though his hair.

                  Looking them over to take in more details, you couldn’t help yourself from exhaling another, “wow.”

                  “Thank you.” His voice was small. “It’s all for my senior portfolio. It will be displayed in a campus gallery until the end of summer.”

                  Shaking your head in disbelief, you stared at him. “You’re so talented, Hyunjin. In dance and art, it doesn’t matter what you choose to do, it’s going to be amazing.”

                  He had no reply, but just gazed back at you.

                  There was a large, tall empty canvas against the wall. “Any plans for this?”

                  A smile formed on his lips. “Well, ideally, I’d like to go a little Yves Klein on it. I just haven’t had the time or motivation for it.”

                  You’d never heard of Yves Klein, and he could see it in your eyes.

                  “Yves Klein is known for using naked woman and painting the front of their bodies, then pressing them against the canvas.”

                  You couldn’t help but grin. “What, no volunteers?”

                  He laughed a little. “In truth, you’re the first person I’ve told about it.”

                  Looking at the canvas, you started to imagine what it might look like. Were there models at the school he could use? What shape would their body be? If Yves Klein was the inspiration, would he actually paint a person, or just make the imprint by hand?

                  “Ramen’s ready.”

                  Neither of you realized just how hungry you were until that moment. Dancing had really taken up the better part of your thoughts. The two of you practically inhaled the ramen, despite the hot broth.

                  Taking a moment to breath, you looked at Hyunjin. “So, what’s the game plan for the rest of the day, Captain?”

                  “I guess see how full the studio is. We might have to find another place to practice. I just want to be sure we both feel good about the steps and following the music. Tomorrow can be a bit of a dress rehearsal. Yeji said she’d come and help us for the day.”

                  “Dress rehearsal?”

                  “Yeah. Wear what we’ll wear for the audition, see if it messes with any of the movements, fix things from there.”

                  You didn’t realize you’d need something to wear. In movies like Flashdance and Save the Last Dance, Alex and Sarah just wore a leotard and some kind of sweat-wear. What did you even have to wear for an audition? Could you just wear whatever Yunho had laying around?

                  Realization washed over Hyunjin. “Of course you don’t have any dance clothes.” Shaking his head he mumbled an apology. A smirk then formed on his lips. “But, I have an idea.” He motioned to your mostly empty ramen bowl. “Finished?”

             When you nodded, he cleaned up your meals, then the two of you left heading to a building you’d not been to yet. It was close to a main road and to the dining hall. Walking in, on the left side of a hall were three rows of wide doors. It was an auditorium. Inside, it was crowded with dance and music students, and a few professors and instructors. There were theater crew high up fixing light fixtures or moving them to face areas on the stage. Others were painting sets. You saw Yunho and Seonghwa talking on stage with a student about their routine you assumed.

             Hyunjin led you past all of it to a door going out of the theater and into a hallway behind the stage. Music was playing from an open doorway. As you walked in, you were surrounded by various colored fabrics every which way. Any table and countertop were buried under them, unless there was a sewing machine on the table. Then it had some space, but just barely.

             “Wooyoung, you in here?”

             A head popped out behind a rack of hanging outfits.

             “Hyunjin! I half expected to see you sooner.” He walked towards you both, a swatch of pink sequined fabric in his hands. “I’m sorry to hear about what happened with Yeji and your audition. Though rumor has it you got yourself a new dance partner.”

             “That would be me,” you lifted your hand and gave a small smile.

             “Ah,” he mirrored your grin, set down everything he was holding, and offered you his hand to shake. “Wooyoung.”

             Taking his hand, you shared your name with him.

             “The audition is in two days, and she doesn’t have anything to wear. Think you can help us out?” Hyunjin gave him his most pathetic looking expression.

             Wooyoung had definitely seen it before and wasn’t having any of it. “You’re coming to me the week of senior showcases for both dance and theater kids, and you think I have time to whip up costumes for you?”

             “I’m good on my costume. And it doesn’t have to be something new, just something no one else is using.”

             He narrowed his eyes as he stared at Hyunjin. Then his face softened with a playful smile. “Yeah, alright.” Grabbing your wrist Wooyoung pulled you with him behind another clothing rack. “What do you have in mind?” he yelled to Hyunjin.

             “There are a few spins, so it might look nice if there was a skirt or dress that fanned out.”

             Looking you over for your size, Wooyoung moved to another clothing rack then flipped through hangers until finding a very pink dress. He held it above the rack for Hyunjin to see the color.

             “Yeah, that should be fine. I’m just in black and white.”

             “Alright,” he handed the dress to you. “Let’s try it on.”

             “Okay. Where are the dressing rooms?”

             “There aren’t any, just put it on here.”

             A blush filled your cheeks.

             “Please, you don’t have anything I haven’t seen before.”

             “Come on, dude.” Hyunjin grabbed Wooyoung and pulled him away from the racks. “Just give her some privacy.”

             When it was just you and the clothing, you quickly slipped out of your t-shirt and shorts and pulled the dress overhead. The low cut of it allowed your sports bra to stick out, but there was no way you were taking that off.

             “Okay,” you said when you were finished.

             Looking a little sheepish, Wooyoung walked back towards you, then came at you with pins. He folded and pinned the dress until it fit perfectly on you. “You can’t wear a bra with this.”

             “What?” you panicked.

             “Don’t worry.” He reached in front of the dress and showed you a white line of material. This will stick to your skin and stay in place. And by the time I’m done with it, everything should be fitting snuggly anyway.” He continued pinning and fitting the dress to your size. “Alright, this should do it.” He looked over to Hyunjin. “Do you need it right away or do I have time to fuss with it?”

             “Sooner would be better.”

             Wooyoung sighed. “You’re gonna owe me one, Hyunjin.”

     ��       Hyunjin smiled and thanked him. He then led the two of you back outside. It hadn’t been too long since other students asked for the studio, so it was safe to assume it was still occupied.

             You remembered when you were exploring the campus that there was a gazebo big enough to hold several musicians. Maybe it could work for just two of you to dance.

             Pointing it out to Hyunjin, it was easy to see from across the lawn, and it looked empty. Smiling at the idea, Hyunjin agreed and you trekked to the open space.

             Once in the gazebo, Hyunjin placed his phone on a bench inside, and had it so the speaker was against the wooden frame so it might echo louder.

             Setting up the dance, new butterflies of excitement coursed through your veins. It was different from dancing in the studio where you knew you were completely alone. Here, it was out in the open. Anyone could see you. With how sensual the routine was, the chance of people seeing it made it feel risky, like if you were having sex in public.

             Aware of this, as the music began and Hyunjin lifted your arm around his neck, goosebumps rose as Hyunjin’s hand brushed down your arm and past your tummy. When he spun you out, you felt a sudden rush of adrenaline. Coming back into his embrace, you felt confident. Your mantra was still in the back of your mind, but you were also supposed to feel the music. Yunho said he trusted you. It would be better for everyone if you just gave into it, right?

             You’d done these moves dozens of times. But this time, as you pressed against Hyunjin, felt him caress you to the beat, it seemed different. You fed off this new energy until you were at the end and needed to prepare for the ending drop. Looking into his eyes to find the trust in each other before letting go, there was something else in his stare.

             You could hear your heartbeat pounding in your ears as you recognized it; desire. Caught up in looking in his eyes, you forgot about the drop until it happened. Your small yelp caused Hyunjin to quickly lift you up.

             “Are you okay?”

             “Yeah, sorry, I guess I got lost in the moment and then forgot about the drop.”

             He chuckled. “I see.” Resting his hands on his hips he took a deep breath. “Well, other than the dip, this was probably the best we’ve done the routine so far.”

             “Maybe it’s being outside. Being with nature.” You knew that wasn’t entirely true, but you weren’t going to admit anything to him.

             “Yeah, maybe. Should we go again?”

             The two of you danced and danced until you were both covered in sweat and panting.

             The sun was beginning to set.

             “Well, whatever this energy is, I hope we can keep it for the audition.” Hyunjin wiped his brow with the bottom of his shirt.

             The audition. That suddenly made you feel nervous. You’d almost forgotten you were supposed to dance in front of others so Hyunjin could get into their company. Other than learning the routine, it wasn’t a main focus for you. You were too busy trying to learn everything, keep your posture correct, and not think about the mess of feelings you were having.

             “Why don’t we call it a night? Hopefully Wooyoung will have the dress ready by morning and tomorrow we will make sure everything is perfect.”

             “Okay,” you nodded.

             He reached for your shoulder. “Get some rest. Eat yummy food.” He smiled and slowly let his hand slide down your shoulder and then arm.

             Your nerves were starting to get the better of you, but you nodded again. “You too. See you tomorrow.”

What about famous h + pilates princess YN?

1)she gets a gym benefit from work and chooses this fancy pilates place in london near her work and sometimes harry shows up at the same class as her!! 😱 it starts to become a joke when them and the instructors notice they somehow how show up in the same colour palette every time. Plus both of them giggling when the other is struggling with an exercise

2) option two yn is one of his favourite instructors at the studio and he loves when he books her classes because she is always soft and looking out for his posture or pais but also loves to torture him a bit

In both options he often shamelessly checks her out and they gradually start chatting more and more at the smoothie bar after classes

omg wait I kind of love the idea of her being an instructor!!!!! like so kind and nice nad he asked her questions after the classes sometimes and when hes in town and books her class hes always so excited and everything but im super invested in the idea of them always accidentally matching in :(((( like thats so cute I do love this ALOTTTTTT

ummm im not saying this out loud ok. this is my e diary??? ok. but.....................................i am going to become a certified pilates instructor

[just-dreaming-marvel]

This is random but what do you think if Y/N ever did Pilates, what would Logan think and would he join??

Lol is random but I love it completely!

I'm assuming that you are talking about Logan from the Love That Burns universe.

I feel like this answer depends on which Logan we are talking about.

Ending 1 Logan: for sure. As we saw, especially in those last two chapters, he is whipped and would do anything she asked. He may laugh and struggle a lot at first but then really enjoy it because he gets to spend time with her.

Ending 2 OG!Logan: not at all. He would not join her, even if she begged. He would definitely watch and check her out the entire time though.

Ending 2 Worst!Logan: he would like she she did something for herself. She would casually ask a few times if he wanted to come but he would always turn her down. Eventually, he asked if he could come, just to watch. He would watch a few sessions before the instructor said that he needed to join in or he couldn't come back. The next time Y/N would go without him but would be shocked when he comes in, dressed to participate and asking her why she left without him. He would struggle a lot at first and get flustered, especially when Y/N would help him. But he would start to enjoy it. It would become their routine: go to pilates and then for smoothies.

can you tell me about the history of pilates now. im curious

Basically it was invented by this guy joseph pilates who, after being in the circus, was put in a british internment camp during world war 1 and invented a bunch of weirdo machines for exercise and muscle health and basically started whats now known as pilates (at the time he called it contrology.) after fleeing to the usa after the war he opened the first real gym which was right next to his wife's(who was a ballet instructor) ballet studio, which caused pilates to become popular among dancers 👍 theres more and that might not be fully accurate but its kinda neat
