Burnout (K.Sn) [Sequel]

| 13 |

The cameras around the dorm had finally been taken down, now that we were to debut in just a week. Most of the boys had gone around and gotten constantly restless and nervous by now, meanwhile I felt oddly calm about the whole ordeal.

"And switch," Sunghoon called out and clapped his hands, making us all change to another stretching position.

I let out a small huff before glancing over at the camera that was filming our last dance jam.  I had wanted to go and talk with Bang PD before the debut, but so far I hadn't had the chance. I wanted to know for how much longer I would be under the restricktions I was under. Especially because I had begun feeling myself getting dizzy by just going over the choreography once. Not even dancing it fully, just marking it whilst we counted it together. The birth control that had been chosen for me was also constantly making me icky, which I'm sure it's not supposed to.

"Li... Li!" Sunghoon called out making me look over at him, "switch," he reminded and I silently nodded before doing so.

"Wah... noona is so flexible," Niki cooed out making me let out a small laugh.

"Yah... I'm more flexible," Sunoo commented.

"Prove it sunbeam," I challenged making him proudly stretch further out in the stretching position.

"Pathetic," I snorted at him.

"Oh yeah? You do it better!" he retorted and I arched a brow at him as I looked over at him.

"Just watch me," I smirked before casually letting my feet slide apart and down into a front split, making him silently widen his eyes and I casually went back into the stretching position again.

"I'll just shut up," Sunoo nodded at me.

"That's what I thought," I hummed.

"How are you that flexible? I didn't think you did contemporary types of dances," Heeseung pointed out and I simply shrugged.

"I did do it for quite a while a few years back," I muttered, "but I have hypermobile joints in my legs," I shrugged.

"You do?" Jake gasped at me and I hummed, "prove it," he challenged with a wide smile.

"Come," I waved him up and he immediately stood up and walked over to me, "try and pull your pant leg up," I urged and he hesitantly did so, "up over the knee."

"Okay..." he hesitantly did so before I knelt down beside his leg.

"You see how your knee is when your leg is straight?" I questioned him and he hesitantly nodded at me in the mirror, "your kneecap is actually bulging out."

"Isn't that... isn't that normal?" he hesitantly asked me making me let out a small laugh.

"It is," I nodded at him, "perfectly normal knee," I assured him, "but if you look at my leg," I stated and stood up and pulled up the leg on my pants up above my knee, "and I stretch it," I stated and stretched my legs, looking into the mirror as my knee overstretched and my kneecap became a less visible bump on my leg, "it overstretches and you can't really see it."

"That's insane," Jake cooed before stepping over beside me and looking down at my leg in shock, "you see this?" he questioned as he pointed to my knee in disbelief and looked over at the boys.

"We do," Jay nodded at him, "doesn't there come a lot of injuries with that?"

"Uh... so far, not injuries, only weird things I can do," I shrugged, "I did have a dance teacher who would hit me at the back of the knees, to make sure I didn't overstretch them."

"So... what can you do?" Jungwon questioned and I pulled down the leg of my pants once again.

"Uh... If I lift my leg and turn it slightly I can dislocate my hip," I shrugged, "I can actually do it by just standing and pushing my hip enough to the side so it just locks in place. Uhm... sometimes my kneejoints lock too, by accident, so I have trouble moving them."

"It sounds painful," Niki frowned at me.

"Not really," I shook my head and waved it off, "it's probably not exactly healthy, but I've been told it wears off with the years, so I have to enjoy the flexibility while it lasts."

"Please don't hurt yourself," Sunoo scrunched his nose up at me.

"But it's fun!" I cooed at him, "and it doesn't hurt... yet."

"Have you ever done that thing... where you do a high kick and knock yourself down?" Jay questioned.

"Oh yeah... plenty of times," I hummed at him, "I forget how far up the leg can come and forget to stop it before it's too late."

"Sounds plausible, considering it's Lin we're talking about," Heeseung nodded in agreement.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I complained towards him, as he just proudly laughed at his own remark.

As we finished the small stetching session we began the usual of just playing around and having our own fun. Some of the boys actually doing some proper dancing, the rest of us just goofing around.

After having goofed around with Jungwon and Heeseung for quite a while, I had disconnected myself from our little weirdo trio before catching Sunoo in the mirror, doing a quite familiar choreography. However, he was frowning and trying hard to remember as he kept repeating the same move, or just marking it. He was trying to learn 'A Little Sweet' from when I competed on my first survival show.

"Lin!" Sunoo complained and turned to me as I just let out a small laugh, "teach me!"

"You really want to learn it?" I questioned in amusement and he immediately nodded, "Okay," I nodded and walked over beside him, "what do you want to learn?"

"Just the chorus," he waved it off.

"Okay... so you start with..." I trailed off as I frowned, "ah... you hold your hand in fists," I explained and he nodded, holding up his two fists, "lean a bit forward, fists to cheeks... uh... how do I explain without laughing," I let out a small laugh, "but it's... wiggle back and forth the whole time, with your hips," I explained before he let out a  laugh at me as well, "stop it! That's how it is!" I complained and reached out and hit his shoulder.

"Sorry, sorry," he waved it off and pulled himself together.

"So it goes, cheeks," I explained and did the moves as he followed along, "chin," I continued and gathered my elbows together in front of me, "down," I stated and held my arms down straight, whilst he still followed me, "gather to left, hands on hip," I slowly showed, "Up, switch to right, aesthetic grab."

"Aesthetic grab?" Sunoo laughed as he paused in the middle of the move.

"Yes, aesthetic grab," I nodded at him, "it's not a laughing matter. It is very serious!" I claimed before letting out a small laugh myself, "right... aesthetic grab. Repeat from cheeks. Skip with arms. Bounce with fists under chin. Big sun. Cutesy step forward, close, pull in, open up, heart, and repeat from cheeks, but move to the sides instead of wiggling your hips. Uh yeah... pretty much it. You got it?"

"I don't know... but I tried," Sunoo shrugged.

"No! Show me!" I urged and nudged his shoulder making him let out an embarrassed laugh as he shook his head at me, "yah! Kim Sunoo!" I complained and grabbed his shoulders, shaking him back and forth, "I did not just teach you for you to not even give it a try."

"Niki got it, Niki got it!" Sunoo exclaimed and I immediately turned and looked into the mirror, to see Niki at the back of the room, marking the movements I had just taught Sunoo,

"Wah! Riki is cute!" I cooed out, making the younger boy snap out of his trance and immediately act like nothing happened, "I saw you~"

"No you didn't!" he yelled back before running to the other side of the room, and casually hiding beside Jay.
