coming after all others in time or order

"I was looking for you."

Minnie pulled Shuhua close to her, bodies following the rhythm of the music. Her mind is in full chaos but still remained composed in front of Shuhua. She just can't forget how Shuhua's expression earlier irks her.

She used to be the one who has the most impact on Shuhua but guess she have competition now.

It irritates her so much yet it excites her.

But nonetheless she'll try to win Shuhua's heart again.

"You look dazzling tonight." Shuhua smiled hearing Minnie's compliment. Somehow Shuhya doesn't feel uncomfortable to be around Minnie. "I've been meaning to say this to you." Shuhua looks up as she looks at Minnie with anticipation.

"This feelings of mine has been growing since I left and I took you for granted when I could've cherished you. I know you haven't agreed about me courting you so I'm going ask again and I hope to get an answer from you." Minnie paused, pulling the latter even closer to her.

She's more like hugging the younger now.

"Will you let me properly court you?" Shuhua was silent for a moment, Minnie has been good to her ever since then well except the fact that the thai broke het heart the last time. Is her heart gonna be okay this time?

"Oh?" Miyeon turned to look at her sister. "Minnie kissed her." she mumbles while watching Soojin leaving the main hall. Sipping on her glass of wine, being a spectator is a lot more stressful.

She continues to watch Minnie and Shuhua dance not really worried about Soojin right now.

"I need another refill." she said to herself as she went to get another glass of wine.

On the other hand, Soojin decided to walk along the seashore not forgetting to take her heels off. It was pretty dark and no one would actually notice that someone is taking a walk along the beach right now.

She said she didn't want to be selfish.

She wanted to be fair for once.

Why does she want to be fair with Minnie? It's not like she likes Shuhua, she admits that the Taiwanese interests her but not to the extent where romantic feelings are involved.

"I want a drink." Soojin whispered through the breeze. She decided to enter the hut that Shuhua was in this morning. And to her opinion it was much better this way.

Dark and Quiet

She comfortably sits on the wooden bench inside the hut, placing her heels down on the sand.

It's been a long time since she felt such a calm night like this.

"I'll wait for you tomorrow at the lobby." Minnie cheerfully said as she finally let go of Shuhua's hand. "I'll be there, I promise." Shuhua looks around trying to find the person who's supposed to dance with her now.

But it seems like Soojin isn't around.

She decided to go back to their table first to check on her father, not wanting to take care of someone drunk tonight.

And fortunately her father is keeping his tolerance in check. "I saw Soojin awhile ago, have you two met?" Mr. Yeh asks, keeping the pack of cigarettes inside his pocket. He went out for a smoke not while ago.

He's decent enough not to smoke inside the hall.

"Ah yeah but it was just for a brief moment. Where did you see her?" Shuhua was ready to go, just waiting her father to answer. She doesn't know why she's itching to see Soojin now.

"I saw her outside I think she was headed towards the beach. It's pretty dark there, only a few lights were on." Mr. Yeh was amused to her how fast Shuhua exited the hall after hearing what he just said.

"She should take care of her heart while feeling the happiness." Mr. Yeh whispered, leaning his back on his seat. Enjoying the party.

It was pretty dark for Shuhua and the wind was much colder now. The only light that's guiding her tonight was the moon.

She thought of checking the nearby falls that they went to this morning but she doubt that Soojin would go that far.

"Where the hell is she? Did she go back to her suite? I don't even know her room number." Shuhua started talking to herself and as she walks on the sand she just realized that it was hard walking on sand when you're wearing heels so she decided to take it off.

The cool feeling of the sand against her feet tickles but it's a nice feeling.

For now she appreciates how calming it is to be here at night.

Her eyes caught the sight of the huts, although it was quite impossible for Soojin to be there. There's still this possiblity and Shuhua is holding onto that.

She slowly walks towards the hut that she was in this morning, she peek inside and a smile appeared on her face seeing Soojin peacefully sleeping inside. She have to thank the moon for letting her see Soojin here.

Quietly as possible, she is sits beside Soojin not wanting to wake the latter up.

"What are you doing here?" Soojin opened her eyes, not glancing at Shuhua. She couldn't be mistaken, the feminine scent that's filling her senses  can only be Shuhua.

The Taiwanese was flabbergasted to know that Soojin was actually awake.

"I was looking for you." Shuhua honestly said what was on her mind. Soojin just hummed, she knows that Shuhua isn't a forgetful person.

Both of them are aware that it's supposed to be them dancing together now.

"I don't want you to hate me." Soojin utters as she looks at Shuhua with a warm gaze. "I really hope you won't slap me for this." Soojin added before holding both of Shuhua's hands above her head, restraining the younger.

The next thing that Shuhua knew was that her lips were dancing at the same unknown yet familiar rhythm against Soojin's known, she slowly closed her eyes and give in to the older.

But much to her liking Soojin stopped.

Soojin made sure she wasn't gripping on Shuhua's hands that hard, she slowly let go before resting her chin on Shuhua's shoulder.

"Can I have a dance with you?" Soojin whispered.

"Yes you may." Shuhua just couldn't help but smile.
