You're a freshman who dreams of dancing but is terrified of the stage and your own clumsiness. Fourth-year student Hoseok is a local legend who opened a hip-hop studio at the university. His energy is infectious, and his moves seem supernatural. She's convinced that people like him have no place among "mere mortals," so she only sneaks a peek through the perpetually open door of the dance hall after class.

One evening, hoping to catch another glimpse of his training, she pauses at the threshold. The gym is unusually quiet, the music is silent, and the mirrors reflect only the empty floor. Disappointed, she's about to leave when a quiet, hoarse voice suddenly sounds right behind her: "Ahem, ahem."

The girl flinches, almost dropping her bag. Hoseok is standing right next to her, leaning against the doorframe. He looks tired, his T-shirt soaked with sweat, and a knowing smile plays on his lips.

"I've seen you popping in here a few times this week," he steps forward, studying her face closely. "Do you want to go dancing? Or do you just like keeping watch over an empty office?"

She begins to make a halting defense, blushing to the tips of her ears: she says she has no talent and will definitely embarrass herself. Hoseok gently interrupts her, turning on a calm, rhythmic beat on the speaker.

"Fear is a bad partner," he says, gesturing her to the center of the room. "Let's do it this way: you try it once. If you don't like it, I won't ask again. But I can see your fingers tapping a rhythm on your bag. Your body already wants to dance, all you have to do is let it."
