Dance Your Way Out (Open to Yeonseok and Ha-joon) COMPLETED

It had been exactly four days since Yeon had gotten back into Evermore city, he was really glad to be home and finally have a chance to catch up on everything here in the office, after going to the cafe and meeting Ha-joon that afternoon he had really thrown himself into all the work he had been putting off while traveling. Did that mean he was still running on barely any sleep and making himself cranky, it certainly did, but did all of the things he needed to do get done? Yes. He was sitting at his desk going through some papers this afternoon, there was a sandwich on the plate beside him which he took a few bites of every so often. He was only really eating it because his assistant had decided he needed intervention because he kept forgetting to eat meals at proper times but admittedly, it was a really good tasting sandwich.

Finishing up signing one of the contracts he’d been mulling over for the past few hours he tidied away the paperwork ready for filing and sending which he would get Katia to sort later. Yeon was dressed nicely today, wearing an embroidered jacket paired with black dress pants and a plain white button up because he knew what the afternoon would entail. Yeon didn’t normally get too far involved in the audition process until the end, he trusted his directors to only let through the best of the best to that stage. They had been a little annoyed with him for making a last-minute addition to the list in the form of Ha-joon but it wasn’t like the could argue with him, he owned this place, after all, it was his empire that he had built from nothing and he hadn’t done so without having an eye for talent.

Now that his desk was neat and tidy he headed down towards the studio, waving hello to a few of the trainers and a physician he passed on the way until he eventually pushed open the double doors to his favorite place in the whole world. The place was decorated the exact way he wanted it to be, with art decorating the walls which he had handpicked out from many of his favorite artists. Already sitting at the table across the room was Joseph, his lead trainer and dance troop direction, who was in charge of the group dynamics of any of their group performances and Lisa, head of talent acquisition for the company, it was her job to attend all of the local colleges and bring in people.

He greeted them both before taking the middle seat between them and preparing himself to see the talent they had decided to bring in for him, he trusted both of them to do their jobs well so he had no concerns that he was going to be disappointed today but he was seriously hoping to find someone who truly excelled today, someone who could be the next star of the Amare dance company now that some of their most talented dancers had taken permanent leases and residency in California. The three of them settled into professional banter as the auditions got underway and they watched through about 10 full routines from different dancers of all different age ranges and professional experience. He definitely saw potential, but he was still yet to see his star in the making. They were nearing the end of the sessions now and had seen nearly everyone but then he heard the caller speak out a name he recognized and his interest suddenly returned “Ha-joon Sae” she called out loudly as Yeon leaned back in his chair hoping this guy was going to prove his instincts right.

Friday, The day of the closed addition. Ha-Joon has been dancing from dusk to dawn. Yesterday everyone at his work given him good luck. That morning, he arrived at the studio to dance one last time. Having the song play in his headphones as he danced to make sure everything he prepared for is perfect. Ever since he met Mirae, he had been more motivated, wondering when the time was and if she will make it. He took his time to practice but not overdo himself before 3 pm. There was one line he thought about that went along with his mood. Today nothing was holding him back. He will give it all and hope everyone can see who he is.

As he saw it was 1:30, he told himself one more time. Watching himself closely as he stopped when he finished and smiled. " Am ready, Don't mess this up Ha-Joon," he told himself in the mirror as get walked to go home to shower and get ready. By the time he got to the building, it was 2:30. Still a lot of time, as one of the workers, came to ask if he was here for the additions, he nodded and told him his name. She smiled telling him to take a sit. Ha-Joon watched and listened to the people that were either waiting to be called in or their results. It felt like he just got there when he heard his name. He took a second to take a deep breath as he walked into the room. His dark brown hues looked around the room when they found Yeokseok. He-Joon went up to one of them to give them a flash drive.

Ha-Joon walked to the middle of the empty pace, closing his eyes putting himself in his dance mode. Here goes nothing, Ha-Joon said in his mind, waiting for the song came to his ears. When the beginning of the song started, he cleared out everything in his head, focused his dancing. Ha-Joon often looked at everyone watching him, getting very happy he didn't miss anything. Before Ha-Joon knew it ended as he stopped taking deep breathe standing still for a moment before he looked up at everyone. He couldn't read any of them, Ha-Joon hoped he give it his best.

Yeon had sat through a lot of these audition sessions, they were pretty much always looking to expand and grow their ranks, whenever they got new contracts they needed more talent and business really felt like it was booming lately. He was glad because it meant he got to work with some really great and hardworking people, he’d seen several of his early recruits go through the full process and really make it. One of them was a lead choreographer in California now and others had regular work in Broadway productions. He was proud to be able to do what he did and see people blossom. Today he was looking for that, they didn’t need to be perfect or get every move right but they needed to show him they were worth the risk he was putting on them, once he invested in someone he didn’t give up on them, he was steadfast with his support and commitment to those he trained.

When they called Ha-joon’s name he took a long breath, he had already seen this guy dance and he already knew he had talent and energy, he was hoping what he saw that first day in the cafe would translate over into a real audition but he wasn’t putting his hopes too high because he knew this was a high-pressure situation and the younger male had much less time to prepare than most of the others. Regardless he found himself biting his tongue as their final candidate entered the room. The blond valkyr have him an encouraging nod and even a half-smile as he waited for the performance to begin. He held his breath as the music started to echo over the speakers and then the male figure came to life.

Once again, it wasn’t perfect or polished to the point it would be a showpiece but the way the male moved with such fluidity and energy was really captivating, his eyes drifted over to the other two judges who were watching with approving looks on their face before returning his eyes back to the dark haired male who was dancing his heart out. He could see the way he put his everything into every movement and the way the piece was choreographed to the music was clever, not the generic routine he had seen 100 times over. By the time he was done and standing there a little breathless he was utterly blown away by the performance he had seen. He cleared his throat and smile “Thank you, if you could wait outside for a few minutes, we’ll let you know our decision shortly”.

Once he left the room the three of them began talking loudly about all the performers they had watched that afternoon and organized their notes and lists comparing their thoughts. They’d been talking between the auditions so he was pretty much on the same page as the other two but they definitely had a lot to say about Ha-joon’s performance. He had a smug look on his face as they raved about his raw talent and chuckled softly as he looked between them “Guess we’re agreed then” he admitted as he wrote out two lists to pass out to the caller. The first list was the people they didn’t need to see further and would receive their results via email, the second were the people they wanted to keep in the studio a little longer. Just two names, one of the most experienced dancers from the first round and their prodigy. He waited for them to call them back into the room.

After all, the preparing for the addition was finally here. Ha-Joon looked at the judges before hearing Yeokseok said to step out as he nodded walking over to get his flash drive. As he stepped out, went to get some water. Now to wait, to hear who passed, who was very close and who didn't make it. Ha-Joon didn't know where to place himself if he is going to judge himself. The atmosphere became intense since he came out of the room. Looked like he is the last. It very fair, he didn't work hard like everyone. Things just happened to play out at the right place at the right time. Luck or destiny? He does not know for sure.

He did wonder what they are saying, the very thing that e kept in the back on his mind crawled up. Did he fail Yeonseok? He took a lot to get him in so if he did this would be a slap in the face. There was no need to panic. Ha-Joon's flashbacks from his old group came to him. That's why he is feeling the way he is. He closed his eyes as he brought himself into a calm state of mind. He is confident in what he did and worked hard from then to now. As Ha-Joon noticed someone walk up to him asking if she can have some water as she showed her paper up. He smiled and poured some for her. "Thank you, good luck at the results." the women said with a bright smile as Ha-Joon given her one back. "Thank you."

He might not know a lot of people but the kind one always the ones he will never forget. Speaking of kind people, Ha-Joon looked around again wondering were Mirae is. If he remembered she does have an addition. "I wonder how she did. The way she danced looks like she got a better chance." He smiled remembering that day. Ha-Joon got out of his mind when he heard they all can go back into the room for the results. Speaking of nervousness here we go. He got up and walked with everyone into the room. It's now or nothing. He came ready to hear he had to try again or come back another day. Everyone was like him, nervous, questioning how they did, wondering who passed, was there more they had to do?

Ha-Joon became happy to know his choice to tell his sister about what happened today to wait. Hana was good at telling something made him more active and dancing more then he was before. Ha-Joon thinks she already knows but not sure. He got a chance to look at the judges who watched everyone. Among them saw him dance before everyone. Yeokseok already knew if he failed or not, Ha-Joon pressed his hands together behind his body. What are the results? Ha-Joon asked himself in his mind.

Overall, Yeon was pretty pleased with how the afternoon had turned out and in his mind he had about 4 different attendees he intended to take through the training programme because while they were good they were not at the level he needed them to be just yet but he was impressed enough to invest some times and money into their progression. Then there were a few that didn’t make the cut, unfortunately not everyone showed him the promise he needed to be able to take that risk and both of his directors agreed with him on that decision. He didn’t feel great about that part as he hated letting people down but this was a business and he had to make smart investments, he invested in people.

They assigned everyone numbers at the start of the audition, not because they saw people as numbers but it was much easier than trying to remember a lot of people at the end when they discussed the different auditions. That also made reading the results out much easier, there were 12 candidates total. When they called into the room he read off the numbers of the people they didn’t see anything further from “3, 4, 7, 9, 10 and 11, thank you very much for your time but unfortunately at this time we will not be taking your process any further” he pursed his lips feeling his heart clench a little as he saw the disappointment on their faces though he did follow it up “We’ll email each of you with our notes about your performance to help with future auditions” he assured as he pressed his lips together. Once the room emptied there were 6 people left.

“1, 2, 6 and 8, you did very well and we would like to offer you a place on our trainee programme, you will get information about it via email in the next few days so please keep your schedule free” he nodded softly seeing the excitement on the faces of each of them, yes they did have to let some people down but the others would now begin their dance careers, it was a huge day for each of the four he had named and he was excited to see where they went. There was a lot of excited chatter as the four of them made their way outside of the studio which made only left two. Standing on the left was number 5, possibly the best and most trained dancer they had seen that day. Lisa had asked for him to be held behind because she had concerns about his professional commitments so she got to her feet and went to greet him before taking him off to one of the side offices.

Which just left the two of them and number 12, Ha-joon Sae. Yeon gave Joseph a look before he got to his feet and made his way over to Ha-joon with a gentle smile, he offered out his hand for a handshake with the other male before he also started to lead him towards the side offices too “Good to see you again” she spoke gently, he could see the other male had worked up quite the sweat but was probably calmer now that he knew he wasn’t immediately rejected “If you’ll come with me we’ll just have a little chat about your performance” he spoke softly as he headed into one of the offices and took a seat behind the desk. After a moment Yeon smirked a little “Wow, just wow” he complimented with a chuckle “Well, first of all, I should thank you for proving me right, I have to admit I was not expecting that in 3 days notice” he chuckled.

“I’ve brought you in here because I wanna get a better understanding of where I could place you so” he pursed his lips a little “I know I asked you before but this time I’m going to need to slightly more specific answer from you, if you were to get into this company today, what is the dream, what job role would you love to be doing in 5 years time?” this time he wanted a more concrete answer than just making people happy because if he was going to put a plan in place to get him to that future he wanted, he needed to know the vision.

When in entered the room, Ha-Joon got handed a number, 12 how fitting for him. In a surprise, that is his lucky number. As he watches and listens, feeling bad for the people who didn't make it in hopes next time would be better. Six people in total, it was not a surprise to him see too many people. He is hopeful they will be successful next time.

As they called out more numbers, four had all there work paid off. Ha-Joon smiled as he looked at the others and said congratulations to them. Everything for him stopped, where did that leave him. Did he pass? He looked at the other person who still in the room with him. He smiled at the other going into another room. Ha-Joon calmed himself can't believe he made it?

Just as he was going to go into his mind, Ha-Joon noticed Yeokseok walking up to him with a gentle smile as he took the offer to shake the other's hand. Ha-Joon smiled at the blonde and nodded walking with the other to another room."Of course." he replied as Ha-Joon took a sit ready to hear anything. As the other started to speak, Ha-Joon could not help but smile. "Thank you. I was hoping it will please everyone." Three days, hard practicing, it all became worth it.

"I worked hard and started the same day we meet. Mainly, you have to thank the dance studio for what you saw today. " Only can practice one day for two hours the two days for six hours and this morning for three hours. As Yeonseok talked to him about the question he asked a few days ago, Ha-Joon understood. For the past few days, Ha-Joon did think about his answer and how he could've thought of it more before answering without thinking. " Am going, to be honest with you, I have been thinking about that question along with my answer. Putting people before me throughout my life and never given time to think about what I want. Being glad I got a second chance to answer it again. My dream, I want to be a dancer that no one will ever challenge. Not to look down upon or think I can't do the impossible. For five years, I would like to be seen by the world. I want to be an inspiration to many for those who want to chase their dream. Being one of the top dancers would be my dream big goal." Ha-Joon said with a smile as he is more confident in his answer than the first.

Yeon heard Ha-joon’s words and smiled softly, he had to admit the other male’s commitment and practice had paid off. Of course, his assistant had offered the studio space out for anyone who needed a place to practice. He was generally reasonable with that kind of stuff, if no one was using the space at the time then it seemed like a waste to just have the room empty in the day. He’d seen a few of the new recruits showing up over the last week or so, sharing the space sometimes because there was a major production going on which meant lots of group practices were happening “You certainly got the other two talking” he commented with a chuckle, mostly debating where he would be best placed to reach his full potential.

“Well from today the practice space is yours to use, when you need, once your contract is through I will ensure it has studio rental included” he nodded a little “You’ll be given the instructions needed to book the room at appropriate times for you so you won’t need to show up to the desk every time you need to rehearse” the blond valkyr sat back as he waited for the other male to speak, he was very interested to hear his take on his own future. Every dancer he met had a different journey they went through, some wanted to be part of productions, others wanted the spotlight, a couple even went on to take a business approach and now ran the studios in the other two respective cities that the Amare dance company worked.

A wry smile appeared on his lips as the other male gave him a more honest and aspirational answer to the question this time “See that’s a picture I can get behind” he smiled softly as he ran a hand through his locks and nodded “Well it goes without saying that we’d like to offer you a place in the company” he picked up a pen as he started jotting down details the other male would need to know “I am going to put you forward for our solo performers catalog, this means you will get invitations to any work that is selected for you that we think you can pass an audition for” he pursed his lips “Any work you get the company will get a share of the contract which will be agreed with you in more formal talks” he wrote down the email of their admissions director who would be able to help with that.

“We will lease our instructors and practice space out to you free of charge, I’d advise you use it, you’re very talented but with additional training you’ll be landing more work regularly, we cover travel expenses as most auditions and work are in either New York or California” he paused for a moment and smiled realizing that might be quite overwhelming “It’s all very flexible around you, we invest our time and resources in your work, you decide how much of it you use, though we will assign you one of our agents to advise you” the valkyr smiled softly.

“Questions?” he asked with raised brows as he realized this was a very big offer, his company had very strong connections with the leading music video producers as well as Broadway, they also supported many different solo showcases and leased talent to movies “Sorry I realize this must be very overwhelming for you” he gave an apologetic smile as he fell quiet to let the other male take it all in and ask any questions he might have.

Ha-Joon could not help but smile to the other's comment that two could not stop talking about him. He accepted he made it, Ha-Joon has a lot to improve and learn, this is only the beginning. He pushed his sweaty hair back as he sighed knowing a shower after this will be heaven. He listened to everything that will be changing in his life. How will he tell this to his sister Hana, knowing she will be mad for not telling her sooner.

When he became more honest with himself and what he wanted, Ha-Joon did felt good after what he always dreamed. It was only then he realized that is all he ever wanted when he got into the dance world. He wanted to become a senior in the dance group. To train, help people became better dancers. That was Ha-Joon's old dream. Right now in front of Yeokseok, this is now his dream as he plans to see it thought and never back out. Nothing is stopping him now.

As the other's dark brown hues watched the other pick up a pen to write things down as he listened he knew once he signs everything changes. He is ready for the changes. The Solo program was something the blonde told him in the cafe days ago. He is glad to be part of the program and looks forward to what is going to be in store for him. The moment he wonders if he did want to get more professional help on his dancing since it's been 7 or 8 years from dancing, the other male answered it before he asked. Ha-Joon nodded knowing he will take advantage of the help. "Everything sounds very fair. I will take ever offer. There are still things I need to learn and grow as a dancer so I will glade take them." Ha-Joon commented with a smile. Everything sounds very promising and fair he is glad he took the offer for the addition.

He has heard anything about companies and who works at them. Not like he was putting Yeokseok's company in the comparison. He can't wait to get started and meet new people who will be going along his journey. When Yeokseok asked if he had any questions, Ha-Joon shooked his head no. "The only question, I had. You already answered before I could ask. " Ha-Joon said as he kept up with what the other is talking about. "It is, but I kept up with you. I do want to thank you again for giving me this opportunity I will make sure to work very hard and become better then what you have seen.."

Yeon nodded a little at the other male spoke his eagerness to accept the offer, he pulled up his phone and booked him a meeting with his contract negotiators “Do you have a preferred date for the meeting? It’ll probably take about three hours total” he didn’t need to be there for that part, he told his people the offers he wanted to make and they worked with the talent to negotiate a percentage of payment. He tried to be as fair as possible and ensure the studio wasn’t taking more than their fair share and offered services and facilities in return for the money they took. Most of the time he was making a loss on most people for the first few years until they really found their feet and started getting regular work. A lot of his money was made from his own personal ventures which he, of course, got the full payment for. He invested most of his money back into the business though he did ensure to live his life at the same time and enjoy the hard work he had put in.

He was pretty proud of the company he had built, he was pretty set in his morals and refused to bend them, if any member of his staff began encouraging or suggesting otherwise then he would quickly kill that behavior. This company was about people first, not money. It was about bringing the best talent in, cultivating it and then turning it into something the world got to see. He was proud of the works they had put together and the performances they had put on, it had taken a lot of hard work to get his company recognized, especially in Hollywood, because it was so new compared with his competition but he had made some good contacts along the way and in the end, hard work had truly paid off. Yeon laughed when Ha-joon said he answered his question before he asked it “Sorry when I get into business mode it’s kinda hard to stop me” he admitted with a shrug.

He nodded his head at the thanks and smiled brightly “I always tell people who get this far to thank me by exceeding even your own expectations” he chuckled softly “I really look forward to seeing where you go within our company and while we won’t be working closely for at least a while yet, know my door is always open if you want to talk about your goals or aren’t happy with any part of the program” he folded his arms over his chest “We encourage an open policy here which means no person is beyond having personal meetings” he clicked his tongue and then held his hand out to the other male “Welcome to the Amare dance company” he spoke boldly as he looked the other male in his eyes.

“Alright I’m going to give you some time to let it all sink in and get a shower because I know the feeling of giving a performance like that” he winked as he pulled his hand away “Normally we have an initiation party in the evening after acceptance, go out to this little dance bar down in the city center and get a bit of a dance battle going on, you up for it?” he asked, Yeon mostly used it as an excuse to have a few drinks and to see the dynamics between the trainees but he figured it would be interesting to get to know Ha-joon outside the professional setting.

Ha-Joon laid back in his chair as he got comfort watching the other with his dark brown hues. "Anytime would be fine," he said with a smile. He didn't know what way he is tired, mental or physical. Ha-Joon did make sure not to leave sweat mark from him. Knowing the other is now busy with work getting him in, this was like a dream. Ha-Joon knew how important it is to be part of a company. Wanting to be in the eyes of people or to gain fame, either way, is around the same. It's the same in Korea, most people go to try to be an idol, but at what cost. Ha-Joon was not the type to be an idol. He wants to know for his dancing not sing or rapping like idols.

When Ha-Joon to the other thanks to you along with the blonde saying his comment Ha-Joon smile along with a chuckled. "it's just my way of being grateful. Am being too humble ain't I?" Ha-Joon said knowing he was at the moment. Ha-Joon didn't think he would make it. He proves himself wrong, Ha-Joon can indeed do the impossible, what a story to tell one day. "I understand, am sure there won't be a problem like I said am pretty workable. Am perfectly fine where you place me. I will work hard." He answered the other, as he sits up talking the other's hand with his dry hand. "Thank you, glad to be apart of the company," he said with a smile he never wore before. Ha-Joon is overjoyed, a dream to take his dancing further is now part of his life.

When the other told him to take a shower, Ha-Joon chuckled and nodded. " Dance battle, how that is a term I have not heard in a long time. I look forward to it. I would love to get to know everyone I will be working with." Ha-Joon smiled as he stood up and went out of the out room and walk to the sitting room as he sat down again. Taking out his phone to see a photo of him and his older sister Hana as he called her waiting for the call to be picked up. Looking at the time, she could be out of class, "여보세요?, Ha-Joon? What is wrong, You never call me at this time before." Ha-Joon smiled brightening hearing her voice. "Nothing is wrong Noona. I do have something to tell you. You might need to sit down" Ha-Joon told her about everything as he is now part of Amare dance company. " 정말로, 당신을 자랑스럽게 생각합니다. 무엇을해야합니까? 내 형제가 지금 유명 할거야?" Hana said joking around very proud of Ha-Joon. "Noona, I had to go. You have class soon, text me when you are having lunch. Talk to you then. Bye Noona." Ha-Joon smiled, he made his sister proud. he hopes his Mother and father will be too.

Ha-Joon went home to freshen up and also to go to the cafe to tell him what happen as he will miss everyone but will come around to get his coffee. He had a new more hours before going out with his company for drinks and dancing. he ordered himself his Iced Coffee before leaving the cafe knowing how the part of his life is now closed as a new chapter is now starting.

Yeon nodded and added an appointment to call him tomorrow into the calendar for the negotiators and he trusted they would handle it from there, he trusted the process and it had worked for a lot of people before. He had still been writing the whole time they were talking, numbers of different people the other male might need to contact. Of course, they would still need him to do a physical with their inhouse physicians before a contract would be signed but he had been watching him as he danced and there were no clear signs of any injury or imbalance which would affect his fitness.

Being humble isn’t a bad thing, Yeon admitted with a laugh, he’d rather deal with someone who couldn’t take a compliment than an inflated ego, that was for sure. He slid the paper finished with all the numbers he’d need, important dates he could think of for the next month, instructions on how to book a studio and an address and date for the party they were holding tonight for acceptances. “Great, then I will see you later, hopefully in slightly less of a professional air” he chuckled, Yeon did enjoy having a drink or two and letting the music take him where it wanted to that was for sure, he didn’t often go out with others but the company inductions were a tradition he never missed, not for a single person who joined the company.

Yeon spent most of the rest of the afternoon on paperwork for the company and arranging his next trip over to California because he hadn’t visited that studio in a few months and he wanted to check up on everything, plus he quite liked the weather out there and could use a break from the rain and gloom of NYC. He fixed himself up some food, he always cooked his own meals nowadays, enjoyed taking the time out to do it and to be conscious about what he ate. Today was chicken and rice with vegetables. He did his usual hour workout and showered before he changed into his outfit for the evening.

It was about 7 pm by the time he had finished everything and was ready to head out to the club, it was one of his favorite nightlife scenes in Evermore city, bright lights, loud music, lots of talented and energetic dancers, nice drinks. He ordered a car and once it arrived got inside letting it take him across the city to the location. When he climbed out he headed to the front of the line to get in, smiling at the bouncer who knew him by name “Hey I need you to add a few names for the private box tonight” he spoke to the other male before handing him a list of the new recruit’s names and a $100 bill, the male agreed before Yeon headed inside.

His company had close relations with this club so they had full access to a private area which was slightly quieter than the rest of the floor, as usual, they led him through the place until he reached the staircase and climbed up, it was a balcony of sorts where you could look out over the dance floor and it had an additional private bar. Plenty of space to sit and talk to people and get to know the recruits. Yeon had gone a little flashy with his outfit this evening, a shimmering silver shirt that caught all the colors in the lights. A few people from the company were already gathered in their corner so he sat himself down in one of the plush chairs and smiled “Good evening” he greeted them with a chuckle.

After getting freshened up, Ha-Joon visits the cafe to finish up things. The manager knew the other's calling is now fate and he must follow it. All his coworkers give him hugs, as well as good luck. Ha-Joon promise to still visit along with getting his coffee there. When Ha-Joon walked out, feeling a shift in his life already when he got a call from Hana. She wanted to have lunch with him which he could not turn down. It was not long as time went by fast to see it was six thirty pm.

While he was out with his older sister, she wanted to go shopping for him since he didn't have any fashion already for a club. He put on a black shirt, belt, pants and along with shoes, oh top of all the black he put on a color sleeve jacket that he just happened to like. In his shock, the outfit just looked good. Black did give him so much confidence in appearance. Hana was also impressed by telling him he looked cool. It was very comfortable, not too tight as there was plenty of room for him to dance in. "Noona, I would be home late. Don't wait for me," he said putting his phone, wallet, and apartment key. "Alright, Don't look for any fights and don't get drunk alright. Be mindful." Ha-Joon smiled brightly, shutting the door starting to walk to the club.

As it reached three past seven, he got to the club walking up to the guys who asked for his name. "Ha-Joon?" he asked questioning his name as the man looked at the list and let him in. "Have a great night sir." Ha-Joon walked into the building as he soon looked around with his eyes. "I must say Yeonseok does have a good tease in things," Ha-Joon said as he soon found the blonde hair male. He got nervous by the minute, finding the stairs he begins to go up. As he went up, Ha-Joon did get a chance to look at everything. He hoped he would not stand out much for never being in a club before. "Hello." Ha-Joon Heard a male from behind as he smiled and greeted him back. Must be one of the company workers or one of the new trainees that passed.

As he found the top of the stirs, he put his phone on vibrate preparing to calm down. He noticed people who he has not seen yet, already gathered sitting waiting for more people to come. Guess people are slowly coming? Ha-Joon smiled at the few who noticed him as he walked toward Yeokseok. "I do have to say I never expect this." He said with a smile. Ha-Joon didn't know where he should be sitting.

Yeon went to this club often and knew the place like the back of his hand, being a regular had its perks because the staff recognized him and the fact he was a good tipper and usually let him bring in whoever he wanted as long as he paid for the privilege. He enjoyed having a few drinks and winding down in the evenings after work or on a Friday or Saturday night. Sometimes he even came here alone to dance the night away, moving to the music and getting lost in the lights was one of his favorite ways to wind down.

The blond valkyr was busy chatting away with a couple of the directors of the company, not typically the kinda people who got involved in the dancing but they were always up for a few drinks and pleasant conversation. Yeon liked chatting with anyone really, he was easy, making his way through different tables and jumping in on lots of different topics. By the time any of the new recruits had shown up he’d already done a few shots, talked with pretty much everyone he knew up here already and even jumped in on a stranger’s conversation because it sounded pretty interesting.

Hearing Ha-joon as he greeted Yeon the valkyr chuckled softly looking up at him “Well if it isn’t my new prodigy” he teased with a chuckle “Grab a seat, order whatever you want from the bar we have a tab open” only seemed that he welcomed the newbies to the fold the right way after all. “So how you feeling, better now you’ve got a shower I’ll bet” he hated feeling sweaty after a performance and would normally jump in the shower the moment he got the chance. Yeon was quite talkative once you got a couple of drinks in him which was probably a good thing in this situation as tonight was about getting to know the people working for his company as people rather than assets. He found it important to get to know them and what interested them and sparked their passion.

He leaned one hand against his cheek as he waited for the other male to speak, curious what he had to say about everything that was happening in his life right now “So did you tell your sister?” he asked with a quirk of his brow, he remembered Ha-joon bringing her up in their first conversation and it sounded like they were very close. It must have been a little crazy for the younger male considering he went from a single audition to part of the company, others had been through many rounds before they got that far. Not that he didn’t deserve the role but Yeon could see it being overwhelming so he was doing his best to ease him into everything.
