in love with the moon (chapter 11)

Chapter 111

***2

The woman on the desk looked at me while I was working. I guessed that she noticed something different about me. She called me to go and talk to her who was standing at the front desk where the cashier was. I walked to her and she spoke. 3

“Kwan.. You told me that you are from country side. How come you don’t looked like one? You are more to like dancing and singing. Mostly when I first saw you, you wear something more like hip-hip dancer would wear.” she asked me. I didn’t know how to answer. I was from a village. And she called my name wrong.4

"Umh my name is Chan... ma'am." I said slowly.5

"Well... from now on Kwan will be your name." she told me. I nodded because I was afraid that she'll fire me if I talk back to her. I need money to pay the hospital bill.6

“I was umh… practicing to become a break dancer.” I replied to her first question. I knew I just lied to her. I do like dancing, but my dream wasn't to became a hip-hop dancer, but a painter. I only dress like that so I can be fit in with the people in the city. 7

“Oh… really? You can dance hip-hop?” 8

“Yes… a little.” I said slowly. 9

The lady studied my face for a long moment and her hand was holding her chin up in the air like she was thinking. She was thinking of something. I hoped that she didn’t think of something that involve with me. The lady snapped her hand and two waitress came out of the room with red curtain. 10

"Kwan! We’ve been waiting for you a long time ago.” She said finally. 11

“Huh? What? Waiting for me?” I asked in confuse.12

“Yes! Once there was an old prophet told me that I will build a business as a club owner. It go on good, but something went wrong on the way… so a girl that said she is a villager girl or country girl will come, but she look like a hip-hop dancer. She will be the one who can save this club from going into bankrupt.”13

“Oh you’re saying that… you’re believed in that old prophet?” I asked in shock. She smiled and lifted her eyes brown up.14

“I think we’ll have a show today.” she said with a curved on her mouth. I couldn’t believe what I’ve heard. Was she going to let me dance or something? I didn’t know how to dance. I only paint and draw and that’s it. Omg! Where on earth did I put myself into? 15

The two ladies took me into the room which I think it was a dressing room and make up room. I went into the room and the two ladies threw me into the dressing cabinet and threw my clothes in there. I changed into the clothes. I like this cloth better than the uniform for the waitress. 16

I wore a black hip-hop pants. And a white tank over the black long shirt. And a white big zipper hood over it. I wore a black tennis hat and the hood hid my face with it. Wow I looked nice! I looked in the mirror of myself smiling and blushing of myself in the mirror. I never see myself wearing like this. While I was thinking of the cloths, I remembered that I had to make up some hip-hop moves. 17

I tried to remember some of the moves that my brother used to teach to me. Yea, Thrit loved Break dance. He and Joe like hip-hop dancing since they were so young! I tried really hard on how to dance like them.. The only move I remember was the Break Claw. That was the name of my brother move that he made it up. He taught me that move a long time ago. I still remembered it. Then I heard a lady said out side of the room.18

“Hello everyone! Today is a special day, and we have a surprise for ya’ll. We call it the…..drummer roll please…. The Country Hip-Hop girl!” the lady said in a microphone. I could hear it from my dressing room. And a lot of people started to cheer and screamed. Dang!19

I went outside when I heard the music started. The music was good. It was singing by the Korean Pop star DBSK. I just knew it when I heard them singing. But I couldn’t do anything when I got outside. The people were staring at me like owls. I couldn’t do it… I was doomed. Then I remember my brother did a break dance when he was watching me paint. He dance while painting a picture. But I didn’t really know if I could do it. 20

I looked out in the audience when my hands were shaking. I bowed my head and walked back to the dressing room slowly. What can I do brother? I prayed to him... 21
