sixth chapter

Smirking I continue to talk with Hyunjin and Mingi. Since Taehyun got angry and grabbed my arm, I can't stop smiling.
Even if he doesn't admit it, he was jealous, right?

Knowing well, that I take advantage of this situation, I don't pay him any attention. Don't judge me, but in a way, it just makes me so happy that he got furious. I know that it isn't necessary to provoke him even more, but I want to see this sight of him again. I just like the tingling feeling on my whole body and the blush appearing on my face when he looks at me like that or touches me.

And to be honest the sight of a jealous Tae was kinda hot.

Trying to follow the talk between Mingi and Hyunjin I get surprised when I suddenly feel a weight on my shoulder, which is surprisingly a beautiful head, and arms wrapping around my waist.

"Beomieee" a voice whispers deeply and a bit roughly right in my ear, "don't you want to show me your dance skills?"

Immediately, I blush and the heat shoots in my body. His hands still wrapped around me send shivers everywhere and because of his breath hitting my neck by every word I get goosebumps. It makes me feel shy, but safe at the same time and I feel the strong desire to lean against his body to feel more of this strange comfort.

I realize that I still didn't answer his question. I turn around to face him and nod slightly. We left Hyunjin and Mingi alone and I lead him the few steps back to the dance room.

What is with Taehyun today? First, he got super jealous or at least angry about the situation. And then he suddenly back hugged me just to get my attention and to see my dance? Or maybe time alone-

Wait- did I just say he wants to see my dance?

I definitely don't want to show him my dance! I mean, actually it is the thing I am the most confident about (besides my cuteness of course). Maybe I really should show him and impress him. But what if I would fail? I would be embarrassed for my whole life and never could come near him again. But why do I care so much, I mean it's not like he likes me t h a t way, anayways. Obviously not, right?

Back in the dance studio an awkward silence fills the air. I avoid his gaze and blush again. What's wrong with me? Why do I blush so often lately?

What are you doing to me, Taehyun?

I cough and shyly look at him. "Wha-what was tha-that e-e-earlier?" I stutter. Why do I stutter? Man, I am so shy right now.
Embarrassed I look down again.

"What do you mean?" he asks as if everything was normal, like he didn't just make me all flustered.

I shake my head. I don't want to mention it. "Never mind" If he can act like everything is totally normal, I can do the same. Getting new self-confidence, I look him straight in the eyes. "Why are we here?"

"For you to show me your dance" he answers right away. I look at him. Standing here in a dance room, where the walls are filled with mirrors, the light of the lamp reflects in his eyes and his outfit looking breath taking on him. But something bothers me. Something is very different.

I hold on a second to think about the difference. A moment before, when he back hugged me, I felt the warmth engulfing me, keeping me safe, but now he radiates coldness. His usual coldness surrounds him and it botheres me so much. What can I do to make it disappear? Maybe... making him smile? Yes, Beomgyu you are a genius! How can I make it happen?

"Beomgyu, show me your dance!"
And at that specific moment his eyes don't show only coldness but something very different to that too. I don't know exactly what it is, but it makes me to do as I'm told.

I grab my smart phone and scroll to the song "play with fire".

"So, you have to know that Hyunjin and Mingi created this piece of art. And I learn it to join a competition next month. The topic is something like 'crazy or psychopathic'. Uhm yeah, and I'm not finished yet so..."
He just nods.

(A/N: it's not the full dance of play with fire by Hyunjin, just till the music goes quiet in the middle... I know the dance don't fit Beomgyus personality in here but I wanted to show, that he has a different side, too. Bot of course he has different movements and facial expressions as in the original one sometimes. If you think it doesn't fit just imagine what ever you want :) )

I get in my starting position and let the music control over my body. I know every movement in this choreography as well as myself. I let my arms and legs move with the rhythm and play with my facial expression. Fast I don't know where I am or why I dance and I don't even care, the only thing that matters is the music. I get lost in the music. My senses only feel the music. Everything in me seems like to just live for this song, this moment, this dance. My movements get more powerful till the musics' volume goes down and with that, my movements.

I feel free and proud of myself. I really did it without any mistakes. I can talk to Mingi so that we can go further the next time. I smile at my sweating self in the mirror. And I start to jump and laugh because of excitement, that I did it.

My shitty dance of joy got interrupted by a quiet chuckle. OMG! I really forgot he is here too! What do I do?

Now he slowly starts to clap. I turn around to face him and see that he comes to me.

"You are really good! Like great!" I blush (for the tenth time today, I should be used to it by now) and smile at him. He, too, smiles and I can't believe my eyes. His smile is so beautiful, why does he hide it?

"Thanks" I mumble.

Suddenly an idea comes in my mind. "Do you dance too?" He shakes his head.

"I love to sing, even if I'm not that great but in the rest of my free time I either study or play basketball." He answers. "Did the arrogant Kang Taehyun just said he isn't good at something?" I asked.

"Hey, I'm not arrogant. I just don't underestimate myself like the most other people do!" We both start to laugh. While we talked, he came closer and closer. Right now, he stands right in front of me.

We look each other in the eyes and our laughter goes quiet. I get lost in his eyes-
"Beomgyu? Tae- oh, what are-" I hear Hyunjin voice. He looks at us after he opened the door. "Nothing, Beomgyu showed me the dance. It's good!" Tae interrupts Hyunjin and turn his face to me again, "I want to work out a bit, what about you?"

"Workout isn't something for me. I'll drink something and think about the choreo..." He nods.

"If you want, I-I can bring you to your apartment after that, I mean it's late already?" He stutters. I instantly smile and agree.

So, this is what we do. I go drink something and talk with the two dancers about the choreography. After half an hour Tae is back and heads with me to my apartment. It's not a long way cause the gym is next to the hotel, but he brings me right before my door. The way was silent, but it was a comfortable silence, which shocked me, because I'm never silent.
"Thank you!" I speak. "Thank you too!" He declines and smiles again.

With that he turns around, left me alone. He waves at me shortly, before he goes around the corner.

I go in my room and smile like an idiot the whole time. This was probably one of the most beautiful goodbyes I ever had. Hope I see his smile again soon.
