"Ohh.. Jerry! It's so great to see you after so long", I exclaimed.
"It's Marjorie btw" .. She glanced at the man beside me and continued, "I was so worried about you-
Wait. Is that you Yunho?"
"oh heyy", he finally responded after identifying his sub-junior friend underneath tonnes of concealers.
"I'm assuming you guys are..... But...", she threw a questioning look at me
I know she's wondering how I just got dumped..and now am with another guy who just got dumped too.
"never mind... I'm starving can we get some food pleaseee", I took Jerry by the arm while looking up at Yunho who nodded with a soft smile directed at me.
Godddd controllll!!
We moved towards food as Yunho's eyes lit up seeing the huge variety of snacks at the long table.
"Whoaaa I love this one", the 6 year old inside him was showing as he clumsily ate the fries, pizza slice and then the muddy chocolate tart from my plate..
"Gosh Yunho people are gonna think all this is going into my stomach"
He laughed at my pouty-faced statement saying, "I thought you didn't care about people", and continued plopping another snack in his endless pit of a mouth.
The lights dimmed as everybody started moving in the direction of the elevated stage..and so did we.
"Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen...
Now is the time for the most awaited event, "The Last Dance", the titles of The King and The Queen of the prom will be awarded to the winners of this dance.
So Pick up your partners and get lost in the music of love.
LET THE BALL COMMENCE!! ", this statement led to an uproar of cheers from the crowd and an orchestra band was seen replacing the guitarists present on stage.
The vibe was totally Royal and I bet everyone could feel a spark of love between them and their partners even though there was nothing initially.
But in my case... I was stuck in an unusual condition.
I wish I had somebody to hold me close.. To look into my eyes just like all these people around. I want to feel happy too...
Just as I was becoming an unstable mess, a hand slipped on my waist, holding the other hand entwined with his other, as we slowly moved to the tune without any exchange of words.
I held onto his shoulder still not being able to look into his eyes which were probably away from mine too.
Thanks for the height difference between us, we got our privacy.
Awkward, but it somehow feels comforting. I could stay in his arms for now? i think... Is it a little selfish that I want him all to myself?
I want these hands to embrace me on a lonely night,
On a sunny day,
In the crowd while making way,
And right here right now.

I know it's wrong... But this feels so right. I want to hold her closer in my arms and tell her..
that this is exactly what I needed.
When she hugged me like this, I couldn't help but smile at her foolish grin because she was so small in my arms.
I wanted to squish her cheeks and kiss her and keep her forever.
I didn't realize that I drifted off wondering about Mina and woke up from my memories.. Only to find out..
I was currently hugging y/n intensely... tighter as my memories proceeded. There was no space between us.
Even she didn't struggle to get out.
My heart is beating so fast... I wanna know... what she is feeling too.
She looked up not expecting me to be looking down and for a flash second, or eyes met and averted away the other. All this happened at the speed of light and I couldn't fathom what to do... So I let go of her hand.. And her waist..
Until she looked up again with a changed look in her eyes.
I realized I broke off a precious moment for her.. Maybe for me too.
The tense moment between us was broken by the entrance of Mina, who, along with her two tag along friends, was expected to be late to the party as always.
She had a lot of makeup to be done which left me waiting for her for hours...though I didn't mind that because she looked extremely STUNNING in the results.
Right then I felt my companion drifting away from me and as I looked back at her she turned around without making eye contact, saying, "This is your chance.. Do your best"
I don't understand if I made a mistake or if that's her behavior after reaching our motive.. Like even God just guides you to the situation and leaves the rest upon you. She feels like that to me.
She soon disappeared in the crowd of couples.. Kissing or dancing to the music; leaving a worried me behind feeling lost as to whether I should follow her.. Or make use of the opportunity she created for me.
I chose the latter because I didn't want to regret and made my way through the crowd towards Mina, asking for her hand in dance without actually saying a word.
Thank god there is still enough understanding between us because
She definitely did not refuse.

It felt like the walls were closing in on me as i brushed past couples drunk or i may say.. Drugged in love.
The sinking feeling in my heart got the worst of me as I made my way to the open space.. I need some fresh air before I do something stupid.
Now outside, I couldn't help but inhale and exhale deep breaths to calm myself as a feeling of desolation took over me.
What am I doing... I will only end up being a bitch like this.. I should go home.. I wanna go home
But Yunho.. I can't tell him to drop me back.. He's finally got a chance.
Guess I'll just.. Walk
I set towards my home on foot, which was approximately 5-7 blocks away; with my head being burdened by a million thoughts with occasional, persuasive self debates and therapy mixed altogether.
It wasn't long until I was met with two male figures approaching me.. Walking nonsensically like they were drunk.
"Want me to drop you home babe?", one of them with a checked shirt around his waist said.
They reek of alcohol... I should get out of here, I decided.
But before I could move my body, he placed a hand in front of ME to which I didn't reply with anything other than a punch.
"THUD", he fell on the gritty floor in the cold night.
"YOU BITCHHHH", the other one made a run for me as I didn't waste any time in trying to evade.
I heard someone faintly calling my name as if they were making a run to reach me from the direction of the ballroom.
Yunho... Is that you?
No way..
Did you leave Mina to come to me?
I wandered in thoughts before turning around to continue running only to find a fist meet my face.
