Bitten: Thirsted by Desire

Fireworks

Naomi's pov:

Looking myself in the mirror, I see the little still red shining wounds on my neck. It's only been a whole day since the party, and yet it feels as if it's been years.

It's crazy how fast life can change and turn everything you thought you knew upside down leaving anxiety, fear, pain and destruction behind.

I'm still sure we heard the name Wooyoung, from the brown haired guy that asked if we're okay after the concert. I'm sure Ruby heard it too, but she didn't mention anything. I think just like me she didn't see anyone there looked like the infamous Jung Wooyoung during the battle.

My eyes were for some reason glued to the mysterious guy that came crashing in with the other guy and fought his soul out with insane precision, he must have fought many times or was trained very well that's for sure. And he protected us.

Shaking my head to get rid of the recent events, I tighten my ponytail and leave my room.

"Ruby? Are you ready? We don't have much time until the lesson Starts." I ask her looking around the living room for any sign of my best friend.

"Just one more minute!" I hear her call out from her room.

Seconds later she arrives in the living room too in full gear. Her eyes focus on me with a warm smile. "Good to go?" She asks me in a good mood.

She's right, we need to keep on with our normal life and forget about this crazy and eventful day.

Nodding my head yes, we put on our shoes and leave the apartment. Neither one of us speaks for a while, listening to our songs trough our earphones quietly.

Half way there Ruby taps my shoulder, and I remove my headphones and look at their expectantly. "What's up?" I ask her curious.

She takes a deep breath. "Do you think they will come after us again?" She asks me with a quiet voice looking around her a little to see if anyone could hear us, but this early in the morning the streets were usually quiet around this neighborhood.

I advert my eyes forward, thinking about her question for a few moments. "It seemed like they caught them, so we should be safe now." I tell her in thoughts.

"Maybe you're right, I shouldn't worry too much." She says quietly.

"I mean those boys protected us, I think when we would be in danger they'd probably protect us again." I say in thoughts.

"But why us? What did we do to get attacked over and over again?" I can hear that she's getting a little emotional just thinking about what we went trough.

"I don't know." I stated with a heavy sigh.

After a few more minutes of quietly walking down the streets we arrived in front of the dance studio, and Ruby unlocked the doors while greeting the students.

"Hey guys! Did you arrive here good?" She asked the handful of smiling boys and girls that seemed to already practice the new choreography we would start to practice today.

"Yes, we did! What about you?" Yeon one of the boys asks both of us, to which we nod our heads smiling.

Seeing the group again makes me realize that In fact the world didn't change, just Ruby and I changed. For everyone else it's as it always was.

After turning the lights on and letting everyone set down their bags, I turn to the group.

"So guys, do you remember the choreography we're about to start today?" I ask with a big smile on my lips, curious to see if they would remember what we decided on in the last meeting.

Soyeon a raises her hand in a hurry. "Fireworks by Ateez!" I smile at her nodding.

"Someone payed attention, well done." Ruby says approvingly.

Clapping my hands to get the attention of everyone I start speaking. "So! Let's get started shall we?"

After showing them the basic moves until the first main chorus, we go though the routine again and again till everyone gets a hang of it.

A little out of breath I wipe my forehead. "Let's do it all together one more time with music, what do you guys think?" I ask the group.

Some are laying on the floor breathing heavy, some are stretching to stay warmed up and some drink from their bottles as if they would die from dehydration.

They all nod enthusiastically and we get started. It works better than we expected and soon enough we call it a day.

"Keep on practicing the steps a little at home to not forget the most of it until the next lesson, and have a good rest day guys!" Ruby says as we wave the group goodbye.

After the door closed Ruby turns to me and lets herself fall down on the big sofa next to the mirror. "They did well today." She said with a happy smile.

I returned the smile and took a sip of my water. "I'm proud of them and of us."

She Full on smiled now, her eyes beaming with happiness. "After all we did the right choice coming here." She said looking around what we build up here in Seoul.

And honestly? Right here, in this moment, I couldn't agree more.
