Kailani looked at him, raising her eyebrow. She was somewhat nervous about what he was going to say.

"The plan was to go to Millennium but I forgot that they're having workshops all day today.." he says.

"What about immaSPACE?" she asks.

"All booked up." he sighs. "So.. I was just thinking we could go to my house..?" he says, questioningly like he wasn't sure how Kailani would react.

She laughs at the idea. "Why would we go to your house to dance?"

He smirks. "You clearly have not seen my #garagesseries videos."

Kaiani looks at him in confusion. "What?"

"I have a mini studio in my garage. Nothing like Millennium but it's big enough for us to practice in." he explains. "It's where I come up with my choreography."

"Oh.." she says, not finding it surprising that he has his own little dance studio at his house. She felt a bit uneasy about going to his house because it wasn't a place she was familiar with and it felt a bit weird to her but she tried not to think about it and focus on the dancing. "Okay, well, what are you waiting for? Let's go." she grins, putting on her seatbelt.

Sean leads Kailani into the garage and quickly tries to clean up some of the mess by pushing it off to the side and off the dance floor. The garage was always a damn mess and it frustrated him to no end that his family didn't respect his sanctuary, especially at times like this.

"Wow.. I've never met someone who had their own studio.." Kailani says, staring at herself in the mirror.

"Yeah, that's just what happens when you have extraordinary talent." he smirks. "It's a necessity to keep being the best." he shrugs.

She rolls her eyes. "Yeah, ok, Lew."

He takes note of her expression and wishes he just kept his mouth shut. "My sister, Serris, and I.. we're both dancers." he explains. "We had this little space built for us so we could both practice without having to constantly go to the studio."

She nods and gives a small laugh. "See, now, that explanation I would've liked to hear more."

He gives a half smile and continues to throw stuff to the side. "So.. this choreo is something I've been working on for BABE this year."

Kailani looks at Sean questioningly. "BABE?"

"Oh, shit, I forgot.." he says, momentarily forgetting that Kailani has been in immaBEAST for only a couple weeks. "BABE is Build-A-Beast Experience.. it's a 4-day dance thing filled with workshops, panels, showcases, etc." he explains. "This is my first year I'm going to be teaching a workshop there and I just want it to be perfect."

"Wow.. That's actually so cool." she says. "I didn't realize you were that incredible."

"Are you admitting that I have talent?" he asks, giving her a cheeky smile.

She scoffs. "Like I'd need to admit it for you to know it, Mr. I'm kinda a hip hop superstar." she laughs.

He rolls his eyes and sets up his laptop to the speaker while Kailani began stretching.

Sean had no idea what his intentions were anymore when it came to spending time with Kailani. At first, it was just about trying to further his relationship with her to win this bet, but now he found himself genuinely enjoying being around her.

He plays a song as they began to warm up. "So this is the song I'm planning to use. I've come up with some stuff but it's not finished yet."

Kailani bops her head to the beat, having never heard it before. "I like it.. It's different."
