I could hear the music coming from inside the brick building as Seyoon and I approached the doors. It wasn’t so loud to disrupt the neighbors, but loud enough to get engulfed by the music, even just at the door.

Seyoon lets go of my hand to open the door for me, smiling  fondly as I thank him and walk through the doorway. I hear the door creak as it slowly closes, Seyoon grabbing my hand once again as we both walk through the small hallway leading to a room where bright lights were leaking into the hallway. As soon as we stand in the doorway, we can see almost everybody on the dance floor, dancing as the lights change colors with the beats of the music playing. Further in the corner was the food and drinks table, where a few people resided as they sipped on their beverages.

Seyoon tugs my hand slightly, making me follow his steps as he finds the table the rest of the boys were placed. Only Donghun and Chan were seated there, eating food and watching Jun and Byeongkwan dance to the point of exhaustion.

“Why aren’t you guys out there?” I joke, noticing the sweat from their previous dancing they had been doing throughout the night.

“I don’t know how they aren’t passing out.” Donghun shakes his head with a small smile gracing his face as he looks at the two dancers.

Seyoon and I sit in the empty seats around the table, sitting across from the two boys also seated at the table.

“How come you guys are so late?” Donghun asks with curiosity sparkling in his eyes.

“We’re just slow.” Seyoon smiles as he looks at me, squeezing my hand that was resting on his knee.

The song ends, causing everyone to cheer out of excitement. This is when the two members on the dance floor finally come to sit next to Seyoon and I.

“You guys made it!” Jun exclaims with heavy breaths due to his energy being expended through dancing.

“Did you guys have fun?” I laugh as I was the sweat drip from their hair.

“They’re playing great songs!” Byeongkwan shouts over the loud music. “Are you guys going to dance?”

“Absolutely!” I smile, standing to smooth out my dress before hitting the dance floor. I look down at Seyoon, leaning closer to his ear so I didn’t have to shout. “Are you coming?”

He shakes his head with a smile. “You go on ahead.”

I nod, smiling as I walk out to the dance floor. Byeongkwan and Jun show up on either side of me, also joining the other dancing bodies.

They stay close to me, just close enough to ward off any prowling dancers that saw me alone. Occasionally spinning me and doing silly dances in the process.

My attention wasn’t fully on dancing as I kept glancing over to Seyoon to see if he was going to join the dance floor. However he stayed seated, even when Donghun and Chan got up to dance, Seyoon just watched the rest of us.

Of course, many other men came up to ask for a dance, which made me thankful I had Byeongkwan and Jun near me to use them as an excuse. As each song passed, the dance floor began to wind down as more people opted out to take breaks. This prompted the selection of a slow song.

I look to Seyoon to see him still seated, not making any movements to join the floor. I bid the boys a goodbye, making my way over to him. I sit right next to him, resting my head on his shoulder as I pant heavily from the extensive energy I had just used.
