RM x S: A Lyrical Story

Inspirational song(s) for this story:

Where U At? – by RM (Pre-debut)


Year: 2018

"1, 2 pa pa pa. 3, 4 down and turn - side step 1 and 2, elbow lock on 3 and stand on 4. You got that?"

RM nodded in the direction of J-Hope's voice. His head was bent, eyes locked on the parquet floor, forcefully willing his brain to commit the earlier demonstration to memory.

The new choreography was proving difficult to grasp and they were on a short practice schedule for the upcoming comeback. His part was complicated and he kept messing it up. In other words, RM was freaking out.

He felt a brisk pat on his arm. "Don't worry namjoon-ah, you've got this", said J-hope in a cheery voice.

RM forced a smile. Somehow, on days like this, Hobi's encouragement only made him more frustrated at himself.

Facing the practice mirror once more, RM tried to go through the motions as demonstrated.

"1, 2 pa pa pa. Okay. 3, 4 down and turn - okay, now side step 1 and 2...and what was it again? Aish!"

Clenching his fists in exasperation, RM turned his back to the mirror in annoyance.

Old lines surfaced and came back to haunt him.

"Oh, there isn't one thing that I'm good at
Does this world need somebody like me?"

RM closed his eyes and took a deep breath. This routine was really starting to get to him. Maybe he needed a time out.

Wandering to the back of the practice room, he rummaged through his visvim bag for his water bottle. His hand found his phone instead.

There was a notification for an unread text message.

S: "Where u at?"

RM couldn't help but smile at the irony. She had saved the day and didn't even know it.

With a quick swig from his water bottle, he grabbed his things and waved goodbye to a surprised-looking Hobi from across the room.

Bounding down a flight of steps, hummimg to himself, RM quickly texted back.

"I'm on my way."
