The next Sunday

“Gosh I hate this thing”
She explained in irritation and he laughed so loudly seeing she worked up on a little thing which was arranging her cupboard.
“Listen baby; keep those expensive ones in another drawer”
He tried to calm her down through video call.
“Huh expensive, my expensive clothes are cheaper than your inners also”
She taunted and he chuckled awkwardly. He never compared her status with his. Nothing mattered to him until his heart belongs to her, and indeed he was in love with her. He saw she was again busy setting her clothes in different drawers. He noticed a particular dress which she was attempting to fold; he would never forget that certain moment when she was wearing that dress. A dress which was floral printed in white shade
“Baby, remember that dress’
She noticed and scanned the dress in her hands and a shy smile brushed against her lips. She nodded while looking back at him properly while he got up from his bed from lying.
“How can I forget when we first had met while I was wearing this dress? You ordered beef cheese burger with fries and I ordered with veggies in the food court of the movie theatre but our orders got replaced to each other and we ended up at my table returning each other’s orders”
He smiled remembering their meet
“And and, you had said, you do not know BTS, I mean can anyone believe it?”
She blushed in embarrassment.
“You didn’t recognized me and kept talking to me thinking I was an ordinary person”
He laughed and she said
“Yahhh stop it, then I noticed most of the girls were drooling towards you seeing you, and I was like he was indeed handsome but why are you guys overreacting?”
She said and they both laughed
“Aghhh I need you”
He said and as she locked her gaze with his
“I need you too”

1 week later

“Tell me na?”

He looked at her with annoyed expression whose eyes were brightening more than the moonlight in excitement and confusion was plastered on her face because of not finding any perfect outfit for the party. Her eye pupils were trailing from Taehyung’s video self and her dresses in the cupboard. She was hell excited to go to her university pre-graduation celebration party held by dean’s son. Her cheeks were tinted, lips were reddened with lipstick and a light brush of blue tinted mascara into her long eye patels and reddish hairs were waved at the edge.
“Why do you want me to tell you which dress you should wear? It is you who is attending not me, especially with that dean’s son.”
She chuckled seeing him getting jealous so early. She wanted to tease him more.
“yahhh why are you getting mad huh? It is not my fault that dean’s son asked me to be his dance partner for today. now come on cheer up? Red or black?”
She chimed like a bird and his heart was definitely exploding seeing her decked up happy self but a pout was spread across his lips. He didn’t want anyone to dance with her. He was feeling hurt without her knowing.
“The black one”
She clapped her hands adorably and a beautiful smile was escaped her lips. She found him staring at her fondly. A blush was spread her cheeks as she looked nowhere but him.
“Okay, I am going to change. Stay in the line. Don’t cut.”
“okay”
After a while she came outside wearing that dress. A jet black sheik embroidered short dress was perfectly hugging her curves as it had glittering patterns all over the dress. She was looking ethereal only in Taehyung’s eyes. Taehyung’s admiring and desiring eyes never left her figure. She noticed he was staring at her for a long time as she looked down getting flustered by his stares. Taehyung’s mouth parted a little as she was getting so much reddened in blushing. She coughed a little to gain his attention.
“How am I looking?”
He never felt so helpless for not being close to her. he so wanted to embrace her, show her his love passionately, express his desires and needs but he could only watch her from afar.
“You look perfect”
She smiled getting flattered and nodded before taking out her purse and said while seeing herself in the mirror for the last time.
“I will be late so let’s skip today’s sleep conversation. You need rest”
She said as he shook his head in denial
“I need you”
He said as she looked back at her and said
“I need you too”
He smiled but a tear still fell his eye as she noticed
“Come fast. And don’t let that guy touch you so closely, never hold his hands, nor hug her, if he tries then push him away”
She smiled and nodded before saying her last sentence
“Taehyung, have we ever danced together?”
Taehyung got frozen remembering if they danced or not but they didn’t. How could not they dance at least once? Besides she never wore anything special like today because he never took her to any of the ball dances nor any party nor candle light dinners, nor any parks or beaches holding hands, nor any dates. But she was dancing for the first time but with someone else not him. she will be doing all her firsts but what if all those firsts are not with him but with someone else. What if someone does, he never did. What if someone else gives her everything a girl expects from their partners? Is he that much undeserving to her? Will she leave him if someone else treats her the way he never treats her.
