The beams of light in the big hall roamed around, flowing all over the place. These lights were as dazzling and resplendent as diamonds. The surrounding lights had been dimmed. Only the dance floor was enveloped in halos of light.

After Mayor Zhou and Madam Zhou had taken the lead on the dance floor, one after another, men invited the women around them to step onto the dance floor and elegantly dance to the melodious music.

Ye Lisa was practically hanging onto Jungkook. He was tightly holding her waist as her feet leaned on his. The front of her high heels were on his shoes. Her right hand was tightly clasped with his hand while she gripped Jungkook’s shoulder with her other hand. Her nerves were tense as he led her move by move and spun her around.

“Don’t be so nervous. Follow my rhythm. Trust me.” Jungkook intimately leaned next to Ye Lisa’s ear. Those quiet words entered her ear and were accompanied by warm breath that lingered at the tip of her ear. Ye Lisa’s ear felt itchy. She suddenly flushed.

Ye Lisa could feel everyone looking at her, making her feel nervous and shy.

Her right hand squeezed Jungkook’s hand, and she decreased the distance between them.

A satisfied smile flashed through Jungkook’s lips. Step by step, he calmly led Ye Lisa to dance in the crowd.

“Turn.”

Ye Lisa only had a smattering of formal dancing. She had only learned the first half of how to waltz. Now that Jungkook had brought her onto the dance floor, she had been pushed to do something way beyond her ability. Her dancing was somewhat shaky and not fully proficient. The surrounding gazes made her muscles tense up. All her energy was put on following Jungkook’s steps. Thus, she didn’t hear Jungkook’s instruction and was caught off guard when Jungkook let go of her hand.

Ye Lisa instinctively tried to grab his hand when he let go, but she was met with empty air. An unprecedented sense of crisis surged up. Ye Lisa fiercely trembled. She incredulously looked at Jungkook for pushing her away. He followed that with spinning her around a few times.

Ye Lisa’s dress fluttered up because of her spinning; it bloomed like a flower underneath the light and shadow.

After three spins, Jungkook pulled Ye Lisa back with his right hand. He used more force than before. Ye Lisa almost smashed into Jungkook’s chest. She raised her head to look at Jungkook. Her heart was beating as loudly as thunder. For a while, she couldn’t calm down.

Jungkook ardently stared into Ye Lisa’s eyes. He said, “I won’t let go.”

Ye Lisa’s palms were sweaty.

In that moment when she was stunned because Jungkook had pushed her away, Ye Lisa truly thought he was going to push her away because he didn't want her anymore.

But now...

She looked up and saw the reflection of herself in Jungkook’s eyes. Under the situation where the music was so mellifluous and the passionate mood was running high in everyone present, she felt as if she could hear the sound of her heartbeat. It sounded extremely vigorous. Ye Lisa was in great turmoil.

As more and more people joined the dance floor, Ye Lisa eventually got it down to a fine art when Jungkook spun her around. Outside the dance circle, a pair of eyes were staring at Jungkook and Ye Lisa.

It was Shen Eunha.

There was someone behind Shen Eunha. His teasing gaze moved from watching Jungkook and Ye Lisa to Shen Eunha. The owner of those eyes was exercising his restraint to the utmost, but he was pretending to light and frivolous like clouds. He swirled the wine in his wine glass. There was a hint of a mocking smile at his lips. After finishing off the wine in his hand in one gulp, he placed the wine glass on the tray of a passing waiter and walked over to Shen Eunha.

“Miss Shen, may I have this dance?”

Shen Eunha looked up at this guest who had suddenly appeared in front of her. “You’re…?”

“Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jeon Yoongi.” There was a faint smile at the corners of his mouth and a light-hearted look on his face. He stretched his hand out towards Shen Eunha in a gentlemanly manner and asked, “How could a woman as beautiful as yourself not have a dance partner?”
