Zhang hao third person POV

Once the dance instructors had finished their speeches, Zhang hao pried himself off of Hanbin's chest, placing down is coffee cup in the corner of the room and following the others to the center. As he did so, he pushed down the urge to look at Hanbin who trailed behind him, the others eyes remaining fixated on the older. Zhang hao could feel them on his back, almost making him shiver.

Zhang hao wasn't sure as to whether Hanbin was behaving in such a way out of concern for his health or through shock at Zhang hao pecking his chin. Sure, Hanbin had pecked the older's cheek just days prior, in the bathroom, alone at midnight, though the action felt more intimate this time.

Zhang hao immediately felt reminiscent to how he had done similar when they were announced as P01 and P02, kissing the back of the others neck to calm his tears. Though this was different, Zhang hao had felt his eyes linger on the curve of the others jaw for a second too long and noticed the way Hanbin's heart beat faster once Zhang hao returned his head to the others chest.

Zhang hao shook his head before he could further lose himself to his own thoughts as he redirected his focus to the dance instructors that were carefully positioned them. Zhang hao was immediately dragged to the center, his eyes moving to the wall mirror that stood in front of them. When his eyes finally met the youngers, he noticed the faint pink colour on Hanbin's cheeks and how he bit his lip once their eyes met, Zhang hao knew Hanbin's bottom lip would be swollen after. Zhang hao gulped and forced his eyes back to the instructors.

Luckily for Zhang hao, the coffee and small adrenaline rushes he had gotten from Hanbin had woken him up. He did make mistakes every now and then but they seems to go easy on him, likely having been told how tired Zhang hao was.

After about an hour they were eventually told to have a break, and by that point Zhang hao's bangs were drenched with sweat, his cheeks slightly flushed and breathe heavy. He hadn't expected it to be so intense, particularly due to his center role meaning he had to perform harder.

Without looking at or even acknowledging his members, Zhang hao treaded over to where he had left his coffee, sitting down with his back pressed against the wall. The ice cubes had melted but he didn't really care as at least it meant the drink was still cold. As he took a sip, he heard rustles from beside him, glancing over to see Matthew and Jiwoong sitting to his right, feeling a little awkward as he was not use to being alone with either of them.

Though that hesitance dissipated when Zhang hao realised the two were too consumed in their private conversation to even notice Zhang hao's eyes on them. As Matthew playfully hit Jiwoong's chest, laughing at something he had said, Zhang hao couldn't help but to smile at the interactions.

He admired Matthew's ability to be close with almost anyone he wanted, compared to Zhang hao's introverted behaviour and hesitancy towards intimacy to those he hadn't know for long. Zhang hao had only held Hanbin's hand for the first time once the younger had inched their hands close, holding onto the tips of Zhang hao's fingers until the older caved.

Zhang hao shyly smiled at the thought before glancing around, in search for Hanbin, spotting him in the center of the practice room. There stood the Korean, next to Ricky as they faced towards eachother, Ricky saying something to Hanbin as the older nodded and the two turned to see themselves in the mirror.

Zhang hao furrowed an eyebrow in confusion as he gently placed the nearly empty drink down, directing his full attention onto the two when he faintly heard Hanbin count down from three and once they did, the two began to do some sort of performance.

Zhang hao watched the boys closely as they began to dance, it didn't take long for him to realise they were performing over me. Zhang hao's eyes trailing Hanbin's movements as the other did a small turn, his hand resting on his thigh for a few seconds before he brought it up to his chest, doing a small gesture as if he was calling for someone to get closer.

Zhang hao felt himself enchanted by the others serious gaze, as if Hanbin was looking into his soul. He gulped and reached for his drink, his eyes still stuck to the younger as they continued to perform Zhang hao's center part.

He took a sip as Hanbin got off of his knee and back to his feet, tilting his head up and taking small steps backwards. As Hanbin's eyes turned back to the mirror and his steps halted, the younger finally made eye contact with Zhang hao who had his mouth agape, eying the Korean. The same passionate look in his narrowed eyes as he smirked at Zhang hao, repeating the same gesture to call someone over but this time he was directly calling Zhang hao.

Zhang hao's cheeks went a bright crimson, as he tried to take a shaky breath, instead causing him to choke. A loud cough escaping his lips.
