It was 19:33 and the dance practice room was all free. Just for Marlin. She didn't have long to finish off the choreography for a new rap Jacky was coming up with. Luckily she had a firm idea and had sketched it all out in her mind, she just needed it set in stone. Marlin turned on the lights of the practice room and looked around, just seeing herself in the mirror. She was dressed in baggy, grey sweats and a black tank top. She placed her 'BOY' snapback next to the speakers and began wiring her Ipod up to the system. Before she danced, Marlin needed to warm up. She began doing light fitness to stretch her muscles to the sound of 'Beatsale' by Vicelow - One of her favourite songs.
It didn't take her long to get into practice dances. Marlin worked on getting her B-Girl moves right. She freestyled for a long time, almost forgetting about the choreography she had to do. In a month, Marlin was going to participate in another dance battle. It was an annual thing and she had won twice in a row, until last year, and she had full intention of regaining her crown.

"Oh hyung, stop it!" Yukwon leaned over to slap Zico's arm. He hadn't stopped teasing him about Yuna. Apparently he was getting all silly-faced over her when they watched one of their MV's. But he couldn't help it, everytime he saw her he got a little silly. It was probably because she was just cute. He did it a lot. "Oh but you like her!" Zico poked. He and a few other members sat around the dinner table as they ate their meal. A couple other rookies and idols sat around the room in their groups.
He had chosen a pretty lousy meal today, he wasn't even thinking when he picked it out. Yukwon pouted as he shoveled some ramen into his mouth, frowning at Zico who purposely was trying to get at him. And he was being all moody because he was tired. Block B just had their come back and that was hard work and he had spent so much time performing he didn't know if he could keep himself awake much longer.
Letting a light giggle pass through her lips, Yuna tucked a strand of her multi-coloured hair behind her ear, a tire breath passing through her lips. She, along with the other five members of her group, and been rather busy lately. With a mini-album set to come out in just a few short months, there was much work to be done. Songs had been written, and most rehearsal had been done, but that still left recording, and planning for future music videos - and that was just for preparation. It still didn't include interviews and appearances that were being made to promote the album. All in all, their schedule was exhausting, though it was kind of exciting too.
Yuna was suddenly snapped out of her thoughts by the rumbling of her stomach. Placing one hand on it, Yuna felt her face heat up, embarrassment staining her usually pale features. Looking up at her group rather timidly, the shy girl was pleased to find that no one seemed to notice. Of course, that was short lived, Yuna's satisfaction quickly shattered by Gee as she spoke up, laughing as she did.
"Was that your stomach? Ha, looks like Yuna's starving! Guess we could break for lunch huh - we can reherse for tomrrows recording later!" Though the rest of her group agreed passively, Yuna felt a little mortified. She didn't say a word as she followed her fellow greoup members to the dining hall, heading up to grab something to eat.
Minhyuk had finished supper early, and, eventually growing bored of just sitting around, he'd opted to get a little work done. Of course, he did love being around the rest of his group, just relaxing with his beloved hyungs, but he had started getting a little antsy. Besides, they had an awful lot to do, and he couldn't afford to unprepared for anything. Having just come around the corner from their comeback, they had to be better than ever. Doing so much, Minhyuk didn't always have enough energy to push himself harder than he needed to, but he tried to get extra practice in when he could. Right now, he was on his way to the nearest open dance practice rooms. He had to make sure he knew all his moves, after all!
Finally reaching the room, Minhyuk pushed open the door. He was about to get to work, but paused, finally noticing another figure in the room after he had entered. They didn't seem to notice him, but had definitely noticed her. It was Marlin, someone he had been seeing around quite a bit lately. Minhyuk didn't mean to stare, but he found himself doing just that, watching the dark-haired girl dance. Though Minhyuk wasn't really all that shy, he found himself at a loss for words when he was around Marlin. Right now, that left him in a slight predicament - on one hand, he could just leave, pretend he hadn't inturrupted and go somewhere else; but on the other hand, a part of him wanted to stay, talk to the young woman. She did seem kind of busy right now, though...
Marlin started doing it again. She could feel the pain in her legs and she was breathing heavily. This time it wasn't half as bad as she had done before. It's just because she had an epic dance solo in their next MV. Soo-Jin wanted them all to showcase their best talents. So she had Marlin with an epic dance breakdown, a super fast rap verse for Jacky and a bunch of high notes for herself. and it Was going to be hard work.
The dance was damn good though, Marlin thought. So many twists in. Once she had finished, she panted as the music changed. When she leaned over to get her water bottle, she notified a figure in the mirror. It made her jump. "Jesus!" She shouted before turning to Minhyuk. "How long have you been lurking there?" Marlin rubbed her face, hopefully he didn't just witness her attack the floor like a maniac. "I thought I had some alone time.." She laughed awkwardly, trying to keep it cool.

"Where did Minhyuk go?" Yukon questioned as he got back from the bathroom. He used that excuse a lot to avoid Zico's teasing. It's not like he got upset over it, it was just nice to get a little quiet at east Kyung wasn't there, he was the worst. Sometimes he felt like a hypocrite because they all took the piss out of eachother constantly. But at least he didn't embarrass his friends in front of a girl. It wasn't like he even eexplicitlytold them he liked her, because he only talked to her a couple of times. But still, they could chill out a little. Apparently Minhyuk ditched them for the dance room, which just left him, Taeil and Zico.
Which was no good when Yukwon turned around to see Yuna. Oh man, she really is just so pretty. Just smile and look cool, he told himself. He could feel the grins behind him from Zico as he gave her a smile. Yukwon tried to look cool, but he was pretty dorky compared to people like Minhyuk or Zico. "Oooooh!" Zico cooed behind him. Yukwon snapped his head around and glared at the both of them, "Stop making me look like an idiot, I was just smiling!" He hissed, trying to make it look less obvious.
Focus downturned, directed towards the tiled floor of the dining hall, Yuna hardly noticed the smile being sent her way as she entered the room. She may not have at all if it weren't for Mia, and more specifically, the elbow that the group's visual had shoved into Yuna's rib cage, earning an instant response. Yuna looked up at the taller girl as she felt a spike of pain, her glare evident and irritated. However, that look melted into one of confusion as Mia shifted her gaze elsewhere, an indicative gesture. It took a Yuna a moment to realize what her friend was doing, but when she finally did, she was quick to follow Mia's gaze, wondering what she possibly could have wanted Yuna to notice.
That something became very clear as soon as soon as Yuna spotted it - or them, rather. A fairly familiar face stood out from the rest of the small crowd, one she'd seen around a few times, belonging to someone whom with the young idol had spoken with a handful of times. It was Yukwon, someone who had been on Yuna's mind much more than she'd be willing to admit as of late. When Yuna first realized that he was smiling at her, she panicked a little, unsure how to respond. However, forcing herself to regain her wits as quickly as she could, the petite rapper settled for responding with a shy smile, and a small, timid wave. It was a shot lived response, though, Yuna's attention quickly pulled away as Gee began to chuckle, ruffling the shorter girl's hair mockingly.
"Ah, sorry." Minhyuk began awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck. This was not one of his proudest moments, and the awkwardness that had suddenly poured into the room, filling every inch of it like water in a glass, was beginning to display it's self in him. The idol really hadn't meant to intrude, but he felt guilty anyways, and the look he was getting from Marlin wasn't easing his raised nerves any.
"I just got here. I'm sorry, I thought the room was empty." Minhyuk explained with an awkward smile, hoping she wasn't too upset with him. Of course, she did have reason to be, with him having barged in on her and then apparently having scared her half to death. A short moment passed as Minhyuk tried to decide what to do next. A part of him just wanted to excuse himself and leave before proceeding to try and pretend that this never happened; but at the same time, part of him wanted to stay. Perhaps he could salvage whatever was left of the moment, try and smooth things over.
"If I may, though, you're dancing looked really good!" Deciding to stay, Minhyuk spoke up again, hoping to spur a conversation. However, as soon as the words came out of his mouth, the idol almost wished he had just left. He suppoed he would just have to hope that that hadn't sounded as lame as he felt like it had.
"Oh no, it's okay." She smiled, picking up the water bottle and taking a large sip as she panted heavily. The music made it awkward as Marlin paced around the hall a little bit, unsure what to say. She kind of wanted to leave him to it and excuse herself from the awkwardness. Her eyes ran over to him, damn he was just so, attractive. Not to mention so talented and nice and.. Marlin stopped herself from internally flustering. "Oh.. Thank you! Soo-Jin wants me to up my game for our next comeback." She smiled.
"Uh well.." She quickly walked over to to speakers and shut off the loud rap music. It silenced the room even more. "Well, I need to take a break, my shoulder is killing me so, you're more than welcome to bust some moves!" bust some moves? Seriously? She cringed a little as she went to sit at the bench which faced the mirror. Marlin really wanted to see Minhyuk, there was no way she was loosing the chance to be with him, without anybody else. Even if she was at like, her most unattractive state.
♪ ♭♫♪ ♭♫♪ ♭♫♪ ♭♫
She waved, Yukwon thought. He couldn't believe somebody who looked so tough in videos could be so adorable in person. But then again, everybody had their mask on when they performed. He definitely did. Except she managed to be adorable as heck and he didn't. Yukwon turned back to her to grin again, only to see her bandmembers were getting the same way Zico and Taeil were.
"Wow, the tall one is really pretty." Taeil said as Yukwon watched Yuna. He turned back and smiled, "Yeah T, choose the girl who towers over you." Yukwon poked fun at Taeil. Serves him right. When Zico had done, he decided it was time for him to go and have one more attempt at writing some songs. Taeil also excused himself to go and find the rest of the band members. Yukwon also felt like he should disappear too since he had finished. But he wanted to go and talk to Yuna. Damn it, why did he have to be such a dork. If he was smoother, he could just go up to her and start a conversation. Instead, he just sat there, poking his chopstick at the bowl as he kept trying to think of a way to get her attention.
Eventually the teasing of the others in her group died down, with the aid of their leader, Light's, assistance. Still, the subtle glances and smirks of Yuna's friends didn't go over her head. At least they hadn't done anything too embarrassing... yet, at least. So, followed by the teasing gazes and occasional poke, Yuna grabbed herself a plate worth of lunch. Not particularly pick about what, but more so just wanting to eat, the idol just scooped herself a plate of food that looked tasty.
Now that her first priority was taken care of, it was time for her to find somewhere to sit. Turning around and joining the rest of her group members, she began to scan the room, looking for somewhere to sit. Evidently though, this was going to be a harder task than it seemed. While the six girls had been getting lunch, it seemed many other had developed the same idea. By the time they all had their food, the room had become rather crowded. Hopefully they would be able to find a seat.
"Oh, sure." On the outside, Minhyuk had managed to relax a little, returning to a more relaxed state - at least, he hoped he was coming across that way. Of course, how he was feeling on the inside was a very different story. He felt a variety of different things. Marlin's expression of pain made him a little worried. He hoped that she wasn't pushing herself too hard, though he knew as well as anyone that that was an easy -and sometimes necessary- thing in this line of work. Though he didn't know the girl well, and hadn't known her for all that long, he really didn't like the idea of her hurting herself.
At Marlin's mention of him dancing, Minhyuk suddenly felt a little nervous. It wasn't that he was particularly shy about performing in front of others -it would be hard to be, considering the fact that it was his job- so much as practicing in front of Marlin in particular. He always got a little awkward when he attempted to interact with the younger girl, often wanting to catch her eye and impress her. Right now he was given an oppertunity to do just that, and though he wasn't about to give it up, he couldn't afford any mistakes. It would make him look like an idiot, and if what he had just seen a few moments ago was any indication, Marlin would definitely be able to tell if he messed up. Taking a breath, and stretching a little, Minhyuk put in the song he had to practice and got ready to begin.
As Minhyuk walked over to plug his music in, Marlin slid across the bench to give him more space. She cringed a bit when she moved, her shoulder hurt. Maybe that jump-drop was a bad idea this late. Marlin rubbed her shoulder as she watched Minhyuks reflection. She didn't want to stare at him, but she was excited to watch him dance, she had seen him dance a lot, but as a group. Block B had always cheered her up with their goofy dances, but she suspected Minyhuk was more talented than that.
When he began to warm up, she definitely was staring. She put her hand on her lips as she watched, Marlin wasn't going to deny she was getting all blushy over watching him stretch himself up. Marlin slid over to the corner of the room and pulled her knees up as she watched the back of the dancer. Maybe if he began doing some choreography she knew, she'd jump in and join him.
Yukwon pouted when she didn't notice him. He sighed and turned around, he better stop wasting his time. Jaehyo stopped him when he walked back into the hall; he had left his phone on the table. "Come on.." Jaehyo tugged on Yukwon's arm to attempt to move him from the empty table. It was enough to get Yukwon to move out. Well, he was just going to have to find another time for them to talk.
When Jaehyo had pulled him out of the canteen, Yukwon decided he wanted to go and sit in the lounge room before he went up to their dorm. If it was anything like last night, Taeil hadn't had time to tidy up after the rest of them and Yukwon did not feel like sitting in a room full of their crap. Plus, he wanted to avoid the relentless bullying of his hyungs, which was more than likely if he went up there before they went asleep. Maybe he'd have a quick nap on the couch before he went up there, it probably was safer if Taeil hadn't cleaned the room.. Who know's what the band had left about.
In a stroke of irony, Yukwon finally managed to catch Yuna's attention as he stood to leave, exiting the crowding dining area with one of his friends. A small smile pulled Yuna's lips down as she silently cursed herself for not having made more of an effort. Whenever she saw the older idol, Yuna would exchange a smile with him, perhaps a small wave or other similar gesture. Though it wasn't much, the short girl had managed to form a bit of an attachment to Yukwon, a crush even. However, even in the handful of times a good opportunity had presented it's self, Yuna had never been able to work up the courage to speak to him.
Snapped out of her thoughts for the moment by the movement of her friends, Yuna followed the to the freshly abandoned table that Yukwon had just walked away from, taking a seat in the middle between Light and Mia, with Honey sitting across from her, Gee and Sunni filling in the spaces beside their makane. Despite the chatter the picked up between the friends that surrounded her, Yuna quickly found her thoughts drifting again.
Minhyuk couldn't help but to risk a few glances at Marin from the mirror, just hoping that she wouldn't notice the backwards glances or the nerves that jittered about inside of him, bouncing about his stomach. Taking a short breath through his nose and letting it out of his mouth as he finished with his stretching, the song he had wanted to practice to beginning to play through the practice room. Alright, this was it. It was nothing special, or particular fancy. He had decided to start off a little slower with something that would show his talents, but wouldn't be so difficult as to trip him up.
Waiting for the correct moment, the cue in the music, Minhyuk began to dance. His focus had soon shifted from the girl behind him and his will to impress her to the moves he was making. His nervousness lessened, and a small smile made it's way to his handsome face as he continued, one that he was hardly aware of himself.
Minhyuk was so looking at her. So looking. Marlin grinned to herself as she watched his eyes glance over to her, attempting to make it look like she didn't notice. but she totally did. It made her blushy. But still. Her eyes went back to watching him dance as the music changed. And he was so much better than she thought. Not like she expected him to be bad, but Block B were always choreographed to be silly and fun.
But he was amazing. Marlin watched him with awe. Sure, Marlin knew so many moves and could pull of some crazy BBoy moves, but she never looked at neat and tight as Minhyuk did right now. When the music finally stopped, Marlin stood up quickly. "Wow." She said, before realizing what she just blurted out. "I mean.. That was amazing. You're amazing.." She whispered the last sentence, not wanting to sound too creepy. "I thought the only dances you knew were the choreography to Block B, Y'know." Marlin began doing the Nalina dance jokingly, giggling.
"Hey... Sup, hey!" Yukwon paced around the lounge. It was decorated with album covers and posters, there was a large space in the middle of a surrounding of seats. He probably looked stupid. "Hey.." Why was he even practicing the way he would say hello to her? He had talked to her before, but that was always with the band's surrounding them.
Yukwon gave up, deeming himself as just being dumb now. Whatever, he pouted as he flopped onto one of the couches. He was gonna go and speak to her, sooner or later. Whenever they were alone together and were forced to talk... Yeah. Yukwon pouted - He needed the face of Zico and the confidence of Jaehyo to initiate conversation with somebody like Yuna. He curled up on the couch, sighing as he slowly closed his eyes. Hopefully nobody would come in as he napped.
Though Yuna had been nearly famished when she'd first come in here, having worked up quite the appetite with all the work and practice she'd put in today, now that a meal was right in front of the idol she did little more than pick at it. Her mind was elsewhere, stuck on other things - or, more accurately, it was stuck on another person. "Thinking about something, Yun~?" Gee grinned, leaning towards the younger rapper as she took notice of her current state. Such teasing only earned a glare from Yuna, said girl snapping back into the present once again. "Hush." Was her simple retort, looking back and beginning to eat her food as Gee began to chuckle again.
"Yah, you two." Light spoke up, cautioning both of her friends, hoping to avoid another spat between the two. Of course, she couldn't resist the urge to tease her timid friend either, adding a playful "If you tease her anymore, she might just explode!" accompanied by a playful wink. Yuna glared at their leader as well, feeling the heat in her cheeks more than ever once attention had been drawn to them. Fortunately for the young woman, the rest of lunch went by fairly quietly, without any more taunts or playful mockery from her fellow idols. It didn't take long for the group to finish eating, now headed off to take a bit of a break, going to do whatever it was they they felt like doing for the next few hours.
Minhyuk had ended up getting more into his dance than he thought he would, just allowing himself to flow with the music and allow it to move him the way he knew he was aiming to move. Minhyuk had gotten so into it, in fact, that when the music finally ended and Marlin stood to give her praise it almost startled the idol, snapping his deepened concentration.
Turning around to face her, Minhyuk grinned a little, both flattered and happy that he hadn't made a fool of himself. Smiling at Marlin's next comment, accompanied even by a small, playful imitation of one of the dances Block B had done in a part video, Minhyuk couldn't help but chuckle a little. The girl was just too cute. "Well thanks. You're not so bad yourself." The young man praised with a kind smirk, crossing his arms. Though he did want to keep the conversation rolling, and he wanted to be friendly as well, Minhyuk did mean his compliment earnestly. She was incredibly talented, judging only by what he had seen during his earlier intrusion. That was only practice as well. Minhyuk couldn't help but allow himself to wonder just how good Marlin could be when she was at her best, and when things came right down to it.
As Minhyuk complimented her, she found her cheeks were going red. She decided to divert it by pretending to be shocked with a fake gasp, "Excuse me, B-Girl champion twice in a row here." Marlin raised an eyebrow before another song came on. She walked over and turned it down. "So, uh..." Marlin turned back to Minhyuk, trying to think of something to say. She didn't want him to leave, that's for sure.
"Do you want to challenge me? If you think I'm 'not too bad'?" Marlin chuckled, she tried to keep it from getting awkward. That was the worst. "C'mon, I bet I can beat you!" Marlin changed the song to something she really could go for. Plus, if Minhyuk was going to be awkward, she may as well keep things fun. "I'll start, yeah? Free-style, like.." Marlin rolled her shoulders. The pain she had before had kind of gone away. She'd just stay away from drops. As the song began, Marlin jumped a little, waiting for the beat to drop. As soon as it did, so did she. Marlin started with typical street moves, before moving on to something more difficult. After about 45 seconds of dancing she stopped, and nodded to Minhyuk to begin.
As Yukwon napped, he shifted around a bit, trying to get and keep comfy. When he woke up, about 20 minutes later, he thought he heard a noise from the door behind him. "Oh Zico if that's you again to come and chuck water over my face - I'm not sleeping. That wasn't even funny!" Yukwon complained. His friends had a habit of sneaking up on him as he slept. And he assumed this was no different. But when he rolled off the bed, he saw a different face. "Oh!" He stood up and looked around, quickly flattening his hair. "Ah, I'm so sorry Yuna... I thought it was Zico.." Yukwon went red. This was awkward, and he just shouted at her like a lunatic.
"Sorry..." He mumbled again, straightening out his shirt. This wasn't exactly how he planned on talking to her, but he guessed it was better than nothing at all. "So uh... How're you?" Yukwon asked, trying to keep the conversation going.
It didn't take Yuna very long to finish her lunch, opting to wander around once she had. The idol had a little extra time on her hands before she was to return to practice, and she wanted to spend some time alone - or at least away from the teasing glances and remarks of her friends. It would give her some time to think, time to relax. That was something that Yuna didn't have often, and she planned to relish it while she still could.
Eventually, the short young woman ended up at the lounge. Deciding to enter, thinking it wasn't all that likely that anyone else would be here at this time. Of course, hearing a voice seemingly aimed at her way, laced with irritation, rather surprised Yuna. Taken aback, the shocked idol found no words until the other party in the room spoke. Laughing kindly, Yuna shook her head at his apology. "No, no, it's OK. I'm fine, how are you?" Yuna found herself giggling before she spoke, not because she found the awkwardness of the situation amusing or cute, but because she was nervous. Though they were quiet, barely audible sounds, Yuna still found it rather humiliating. "Um... did that actually happen? The water thing?" Yuna asked as a silence lulled between them, hoping to keep up the conversation though not knowing quite how to.
"Ah, sorry. Of course." Minhyuk spoke, laughter in his voice and a grin on his face as he raised his hands in a gesture of playful surrender. Stepping back from the center of the room, Minhyuk crossed his arms. He'd taken his turn, and Marlin was there to practice too, after all. So long as she didn't mind him here he planned to stick around, but he wouldn't hog the room, nor the spotlight on her. "Is that your way of challenging me?" The smirk on Minhyuk's face was nearly as smug as his tone when he responded to her question. However, on the inside he wasn't nearly so cocky. There was no way he was going to let her win, but he wasn't sure if that would even matter. Though Minhyuk did want to see her dance again -the fact that she'd offered this time and he hadn't just barged in was also a major upside- he didn't want to make a fool of himself this time. Sighing a little, silently, Minhyuk tried to relax himself. He had done just fine before. There was no reason he had to be nervous now.
Minhyuk's attention moved from his thoughts to Marlin. As she started, she had his full attention. Though Minhyuk had planned to try and think something up for his turn, he found himself far too distracted once the time to put that plan into action actually arrived. Marlin was indeed incredibly talented. It was obvious she worked really hard. By the time Marlin had finished, Minhyuk was both filled with a great deal of respect and a bit of worry. It wasn't going to be easy to top that. But he wasn't about to back down, so with a smirk the main dancer of Block B stood, readying for his turn.
Even though it was only for a minute or so, Marlin was out of breath. She paced as she got her breath back, her hands on her hips. She watched Minhyuk prepare. And just as he started dancing, Marlin began grinning. He was just so amazing. It looked like she had real competition after all. It was going to be so hard for her to top herself than him. Compared to what he did in Block B, this was amazing.
"That all you got, huh?" She mocked playfully, waiting for Minhyuk to stop his dance. In her mind she had already prepared what moves she was going to do. Marlin took competition so seriously, even if it was against a cute guy in the practice room. It was still competition. Plus, it was good practice for next month. As he finished Marlin nodded with a huge grin. As she began, she started off with quick moves. She did flips and spun on her hands, landing on her back quickly. When she danced, everything else around her blurred, like nothing else was happening.
"I'm fine." Yukwon said quickly after, his face red. No he wasn't, he was so embarrassed and felt awkward. He also gave her a light giggle of discomfort. As she asked about the water thing, Yukwon cringed a little, "Ah, Yeah... Zico thought it was hilarious. In fact, it happened twice! You'd think I'd know better than to sleep in the same room as him." He muttered the end bit to himself, frowning a little in thought.
"So.." He noticed it went quiet again, "You working on a new album?" He asked a question he already knew the answer to. Robotic Hearts were releasing a new mini-album. It wasn't because he was crazy stalking her, he just happened to overhear that. Yukwon had watched their MVs with other members, and remembered enjoying it greatly. Robotic Hearts were rather unique. He looked at Yuna, she was nothing like the badass character she was in all her performances. Then again, nobody was the same on camera.
Yuna brightened almost instantly at the mention of her upcoming album, smile lighting up her previously timid features, a spark igniting in her eyes as excitement over the topic raised them to meet Yukwon's own pair. "Yeah! We are! There are only a few months left before everything gets released, so it's a lot of work right now, but it's kind of fun, you know? Hyeong-unni's thought up a lot of interesting tracks this time, and we have some interesting concepts lined up." Yuna rambled on, passion for her work outweighing even her shy nature.
Of course, that being said, as soon as the wave of excitement had passed her timidity took over. Realizing that she had begun to ramble on Yuna felt embarrassment stain her cheeks, heat of her fluster tinting her cheeks an uncomfortable shade of red. Beginning to fidget with her over-sized shirt, gaze retreating to fake focus on what she was doing, the shorter girl let out a light giggle of embarrassment. "Oh, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to rant like that. I should have... I'm sorry." Scratching the back of her head sheepishly, Yuna dared to look up at Yukwon again. "Um... are you guys working on anything lately?"
It was an understatement to say that Minhyuk was impressed as Merlin spun and flipped about, all of her moves flowing together with the last as well as the beat that thumped throughout the small room, sending light vibrations along the walls and through the idol's bodies as it thumped through the speakers. Minhyuk found his head nodding in approval despite himself when her routine finally finished. He had watched some of Flare's music videos, and their dancing -especially Marlin's- was doubtlessly impressive. Still, there was something about seeing her do it in person, without the cuts or the edits that stood on it's own.
"Are you practicing for anything specific?" Of course, idols always had to keep on top of their game, no matter what they were doing in their career, so practice was a constant in their lives. Still, when Minhyuk had first come in Marlin had seemed to have been there for a while, and was obviously working hard. Though he knew the two were competing, he couldn't pass up the chance he had now to get to know Marlin at least a little. With schedules as busy as the two had, it wasn't as though another chance would present it's self to freely.
Yukwon nodded happily as Yuna spoke, not really noticing his much she was talking until she pointed it out herself. He chuckled as she apologised. Personally he thought it was adorable. She was really sweet, he smiled, "It's okay! Ah - I understand! I get excited over our new releases all the time!" He reassured her quickly. Yukwon definitely didn't want her to feel like she shouldn't talk because, she most definitely should. Yukwon was pretty back at conversing. Especially with pretty girls.
"Well, we did just have our comeback. But I hear Zico is already brainstorming on another idea already. I'd wish he'd slow down.." Yukwon sighed, Zico was hardworking. Almost too much so, everybody had to run to keep up, "You know how tiring comebacks are." He smiled, looking up at her.
When the music finally stopped, Marlin was breathless. Dancing was more effort than it looked. She walked slowly over to the stereo with her hands on her hips, puffing out breaths to get it back. "With Flare?" She tilted her head. "Nothing specific... I am practicing for the annual B-Boy battles. I've won twice in a row but last year someone out did me." Marlin frowned, she hated loosing. Especially when it as what she was the best at.
"How about you? Any new dance videos?" She enquired. Online, She had been Minhyuk in various non-block B things, just dances with other choreographers. Seeing him in person dancing was probably the best, because he really was amazing. "Or are Block B coming back again?" She grinned.
