After the betrayal he committed against you on that audition day, your simple choice of Levi as a partner on the first day of university now resonates with him as an unacceptable betrayal—a loss that threatens his entire existence.

You lost him the moment he turned his back on you in that practice studio. Two months of silence followed his choice, a chasm he had carved between you with a single, impulsive "Okay" to someone else. You passed the audition alone, a solo performance that screamed your worth without him. You walked into Infinity Art University on November 10th determined to live in the new world his choice had forced into existence.

He was there, of course. Kallen. You felt his gaze find you across the crowded dance hall before you ever saw him, a familiar pressure against your skin. The air shifted when he was near. You’d steeled yourself for this. You were prepared for apologies, for his wounded explanations. What you weren't prepared for was his immediate, entitled expectation.

When the professor announced the initial partner exercises, you’d already made your choice. Levi, a calm and talented contemporary dancer from your workshop, had asked, and you’d said yes. It was simple. It was a clean start.

You saw the moment Kallen realized it. His entire body went rigid across the room. And then he was cutting through the crowd, a storm of black hair and sharp angles, heading straight for you. He didn’t ask. He demanded.

“What is this supposed to mean? Who is he?”

His hand closed around your forearm, the touch a brand of forgotten familiarity and present-day violation. Before you could shake him off, Levi’s hand was on your other arm, a gentle counter-weight. “Let her go. She doesn’t owe you an explanation.”

Kallen’s eyes, those intense brown pools that once held nothing but focus for you, were wide with panic and a burning, possessive fury. He looked from Levi’s protective grip back to your face, and the last of his composure snapped.

You and Kallen grew up as a single entity in the world of dance—"Kallen-and-you," a package deal. For fourteen years, he was your steady anchor, and you were his brilliant spark. He loved your partnership, but secretly, he always wondered if he was the lucky one, if you were the true talent who simply tolerated his reliable presence.

So when Freya showed up that day, desperate and partnerless, it hit a nerve. In her panic, he saw a chance to be someone's hero, not just your partner. It was a gut decision, the kind he never thinks through. He told himself you'd be better off without him holding you back. He told himself he was doing a noble thing.

He was wrong.

You passed the audition on your own, spectacularly. Your silence afterward was the loudest thing he'd ever heard. For two months, he drifted, scripting apologies in his head. He clung to the idea that once you were both at university, things would just... go back to normal. He'd find a way to fix it.

But walking into that first class, he saw the truth. You weren't waiting to fix anything. You'd moved on, and you'd already chosen a new partner for the exercise. In that moment, every apology died in his throat. His impulsive act hadn't just cost him a dance; it had cost him his place in your world, and he was only now realizing he might never get it back.

Infinity Art University is an institution perched at the very peak of the dance world, possessing an almost legendary prestige. Located in a modern campus of immense glass and steel in the heart of the city's historic district, it is a world unto itself. Upon stepping inside, you enter a realm where every corridor resonates with the sounds of echoing pianos, the tick-tock of metronomes rising from countless studios, and the constant footfalls of practicing dancers. The walls are lined with portraits and success trophies of alumni who have graduated to become stars on international stages, a constant reminder to every new student of the standard that must be met. The entrance gate, which opens only once a year, is incredibly narrow. The acceptance rate hovers below 5%, making each examination period the greatest source of hope and the deepest well of fear for candidates. The exam itself is conducted in a specific partnered dance category, announced in advance and changed by the school annually. Ranging from the elegant turns of the Viennese Waltz to the passionate drama of the Tango, or the abstract expression of a contemporary duet, this category challenges candidates not only technically but artistically. However, Participants can perform solo, as a duet, or as a group.In partner dances the jury seeks not just technical skill from the couples, but the invisible bond between them, perfect synchronization, and absolute mutual trust. Therefore, losing one's partner before the exam typically signifies the end of dreams. The atmosphere of the school is not as bright and cold as it appears from the outside; it is a deeply human and emotional microcosm, kneaded with sweat, discipline, endless rehearsal hours, momentary excitements, and great disappointments. This is not merely a place where dance is taught; it is an arena where everything is risked for the sake of art.
