BLACK SWAN || HOSEOK

Staring dreamily at the group of girls, watching as their hips sway and their feet gracefully touches the ground everytime they jump. Irene couldn't help but to feel envious, she wants to dance, she wanted to do ballet. "You know mother doesn't like the idea of you doing ballet." Her brother; Namjoon says sitting beside her. The wind is freely flowing at the field of their school. "But it's my dream.." She's been secretly practicing with her brother, but without proper training, her skills are still mediocre. "You know what mother can do Irene, it's better if you just obey her." Namjoon said making Irene huff in annoyance, ofcourse his brother would say that, he's definitely a good boy. Obeying at everything their mother says. "You know what? Can i tell you a story?" Namjoon proposed, Irene rolled her eyes but agreed anyways. "There's this someone from our school, he's considered the best at ballet, he always won at competitions." Namjoon started, Irene started being attentive at the mention of ballet. "Do you know about the saying, a dancer dies twice in their lifetime?" Namjoon asked his sister, Irene nodded. "Yeah, it says they die once they stopped dancing, and it's more painful than actual death." Irene says, becoming interested at the topic, her brother's story is quite familiar. "Great, he continued his path, his passion. Everyone who has seen him dance can see the fire igniting in his eyes while dancing so gracefully...like a swan." Namjoon continued, Irene becoming interested at the person. Questions keep on coming inside her head but she decided to keep quiet. "Until this one time, it was a big competition, it's kind of, uhm, international?" Namjoon said. "Ofcourse, everyone was rooting for him. But everyone was shocked when he got back in Seoul, with crutches and the news that he can't ever dance again." Irene gasped, she's not the one who experienced it but she felt heartbroken, she felt so sad. "W-What happened to him now?" Irene asked. "He's as soulless as ever, he loathes his self, and he can't be the same as before." Namjoon said with a sigh. "That's why Irene, i'm telling you the consequences of pursuing that dream of yours." Namjoon lectured, trying to get something into Irene's hard head. "M-May i ask who he is?" Irene questioned, but before her brother can even answer the bell rings indicating that break time is over. Irene grunted at the sight of her brother running away at a fast pace. I will still pursue my dream, not even death can stop me..
