Try My Luck

@ Bam.Bam
Jongup was walking down the hallway toward the practice room with a cola can and a sandwich when he bumped into somebody, making him drop his soda which spilled all over the floor and his sandwich, which fell apart, ‘shit I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to bump into you. I was just lost in my own head,’ he told the person he bumped into. His eyes widened when he saw who he bumped into, ‘Jia?’

@ Ian.Eastwood

Jia didnt bother looking at the person who had bumped into her. She was trying to wipe up the soda that splashed onto her legs. However, she froze when she heard his voice, knowing it belongs to her ex. Why was he here? Shouldnt he be in the practice room that his agency provides in their building? She thought to herself. Sighing, Jia looked up at Jongup and as soon they made eye contact, there stomach flutters with butterflies as it always did when she saw him. She hated that her body still reacted like that, especially since they havent seen nor had any contact with each other since the breakup and that was over two years ago. "Yes, Jongup, it's me." She said in a bored tone.

@ Bam.Bam
‘I’m sorry about spilling all that on you. I wasn’t looking. I was lost in my own head thinking about my comeback. I’ll go get some napkins,’ he disappeared and came back with a stack of napkins to clean it off of her and the floor. When the mess was cleaned up, he apologized again, ‘I’m sorry Jia...so um how are you?’

@ Ian.Eastwood

"It's fine...I'm fine." Jia answered, not wanting to talk to him. She had spent those two years since the breakup trying to get over him, and now that she was finally over their relationship and over him, he decides to show up back into her life? Does God hate her? "I'm fine, just living my life." She answered shortly. "What are you doing here? Your agency already have their own dance studio. Besides, you and your group mates are already talented enough to come up with your own choreography." She asked. She wasnt aware that B.A.P have disbanded and were now in different agency, but when her and Jongup broke up, she stop paying attention to Jongup, his group, and anything else regarding him.

@ Bam.Bam
‘My group disbanded. We all moved to different agencies and now I’m here. Youngjae is here with me but everybody else went somewhere else. Look Jia I’m sorry for cheating on you and you have no reason to want to talk to me or be near me and I get that. I just wanted to say I’m sorry,’ he told her before walking around her and off down the hallway.

@ Ian.Eastwood

Jia was surprised to hear about B.A.P's disbandment and to know that he and Youngjae were now a part of the same label as her. Jia worked at the agency as the head dance coach and as a producer. Every once in a while, she'll release a single or an EP, but rarely did shows. Her main job was to help with the artists and groups choreographies and help with their music production. Shaking her head, she sighed and went to her practice room, while she waited for the artist that she will be working with for their comeback, not knowing that she was assigned to help out Jongup.

@ Bam.Bam
A few minutes later when he threw away the trash that he had from the mess, he walked into the room assigned to him to practice his song try my luck. He saw his choreographer in the room on her phone. He walked over, ‘hey you must be...Jia? Your my choreographer?’

@ Ian.Eastwood

Jia sighed, but nodded. "Yeah I guess, I am." She said, mentally cursing out whatever higher power is torturing her. "I'm sure that you don't want to be in this situation any more than I do. So let's just make this easier on the both of us. We're only here to work on your choreography in time for your comeback. So all I ask is for you to be here on time or at least let me know in advance if you are going to be late or need to reschedule, and just focus on the dance. We'll leave our history out, so this time spent together is strictly professional." She said and then walked over to the stereo. "I haven't listened to the song yet. So I'm going to play it so I can come up with some ideas, but if you already have some ideas do share so even show me what you got."

@ Bam.Bam
He nodded. His heart hurt when she spoke to him like that but he understood why so he just nodded, ‘I’ve been working on something in my house. Do you want to listen to the song first then I show you what I came up with or do you want me to show you to the music? I can do either.’

@ Ian.Eastwood

"I want to listen to the song first, and then you can show me what you have afterwards." She said and then pressed play and listened to the music play through the speakers. She leaned against the wall as she listened to the music play. "This is more of his style." She thought to herself, trying to prevent herself from smiling as she remembered when he told her how he wanted to make more music in the R&B style, when they were dating. The song was very sensual and she already had some ideas.

After the song finished playing, Jia pushed herself off the wall and paused the song before it played again. "The song is good. Definitely more of your style." She commented. "Its definitely a sensual song, so I have a few ideas, but I wanna see yours first."

@ Bam.Bam
‘Yeah being with the group was nice but our company didn’t give me much room to be myself with my music,’ he told her before he walked over to the stereo, ‘do you want me to show with or without the music?’ He asked without looking at her. He felt horrible for cheating on her and for her not knowing he’s with the woman he cheated on her with.

@ Ian.Eastwood

"Show me with the music. That way it will give me something to work with." She suggested, noticing that he wasnt making eye contact with her, but she didnt care. He was the one that hurt her, so if he feels guilty about it well then that's on him. Jia pressed play on the stereo and watched him danced.

@ Bam.Bam
He made up a dance to the main part of the song so he pressed play and showed her what he had to certain parts. He had nothing to do last night and he wanted his comeback to be good. Plus his girlfriend was out with her friends for the night and hadn’t returned home till he was leaving to come here. She looked high and drunk but he made sure she got to bed okay before leaving.

@ Ian.Eastwood

Jia watched him dance, she liked a lot of what he had. The parts that seemed weak and that he had nothing for, was where Jia could step in with her expertise. She stopped the music and walked over to her ex. "I like what you have for the main part of the song, it just needs to be polished and then I can help with the parts that you dont have." She said. "Now are you going to have back up dancers to perform this song with you?"

@ Bam.Bam
‘Yes. I have a few women and a few men coming in to dance with me. They should be here shortly. I figured they should meet you today too so they can be involved right away and not wait. Until they get here, would you want to help me polish what I already have?’

@ Ian.Eastwood

Jia nodded, "Sure that's fine with me. Is there a lead female dancer? I feel like the song calls for one" she asked but then stood next to him. She played the song again and began dancing with him, tweaking the parts that were weak. After going over the dance and fixing the tweaks, Jia had them go over the dance once more time, but this time she was facing him.

@ Bam.Bam
‘There is. Her name is Hyerin. She’s coming shortly as well,’ he told her before they started working in silence. He missed being around her like this, touching her like this, hearing her voice and seeing her smile but he fucked that up and now he has a girlfriend so he can’t think those thoughts anymore.

Jia nodded, but deep down, she was jealous of this Hyerin girl. However, she didnt let that get to her. She continued to dance with him to the song, dancing the role for the lead female just to make sure that he was in sync with her dancing, but ignoring the feeling it gave her when she felt him touch her. Once the music ended, Jia quickly removed herself from him. "Looks like you got it all down. I dont expect your dancer to get it all today, but we'll just do a brief introduction and maybe start off with the first part of the dance."
