"Students, I have an announcement. We have a contest coming up in two months. It's a dancing contest. Any dance can be done. Since we have even numbers in the class I will be partnering you up. And for in advance; no you can't change you partner"

The class groaned in annoyance and the teacher started going the list. I hoped to be paired with someone nice and easy to work with and hopefully not Kim Seokjin. I liked Seokjin just people around him specially the girls hated that I even said 'hi' to him or helped picked something up that he dropped. They all claimed him as theirs and he didn't even know half of the girls.

"And lastly Y/N and Seokjin"

I could hear the girls in the class complain as a smiled. I lifted my head to look and Seokjin who was smiling at me.

"Oh before I forget. Whoever wins the contest gets a scholarship at SNU"

A scholarship at Seoul National University. That's a big deal. It's my dream university and it's a dream university for everyone else.

"Hi Y/N, did you want to discuss what dance you wanted to do?"

"Sure. We can arrange some times outside of our classes to discuss and practice"

We walked out of the class together and headed towards the dance studio within the school and started planning.

-One Month Later-

I arrived at the dance studio that was located by the mall. It's my cousin's dance studio and she let us borrow one of the studios until our practice is over with. As I opened the door I saw Seokjin already in the room doing is stretches.

"Morning Seokjin"

"Morning Y/N; I picked up some coffee on the way. Figured we would be needing it"

"You're a lifesaver. Are you ready for practice today?"

"Yes. I've been trying to memorise the steps at home and even in my sleep"

"Stop worrying. You're an great dancer, better than what I've seen before"

A small smile crept onto his face. I placed my bag on the floor alongside Seokjin's.

It was near 6pm when we finished practice for the day. My legs were jelly with how many time we had to go over, plus the new steps we added in. I sat on the floor next to Seokjin as I caught my breath back.

"You did good today Jin"

"You did better Y/N. Honestly, the way you move along with the song is admirable"

"I learned from my cousin. She taught me contemporary, ballroom and other dances"

"She taught you well"

"I'll let her know she's doing a good job, shall I?"

We gathered all of our stuff before heading out of the building.

"Do you need a lift home Y/N?"

"You drove here?"

"Yeah, how else did you think I got here?"

"Sorry; I didn't know you drove. But, yes please that would be really appreciated"

"No worries. Just tell me the directions"

We pulled up outside my house and all the lights are turned off; indicating that mum was not back from work yet.

"You'll be alright on your own?"

"Yeah. I'm used to my mum not being home most nights"

"I can stay and keep you company. We could go over the routine once more if you like to"

"I don't think my legs could handle any more dancing for the night. Also, you are welcome to keep me company if you don't have any plans"

"Let's go. I can pick out a movie for us whilst you shower"

"Perfect. I'll just head on up and be down as quick as I can"

"Don't rush. I don't mind waiting"

•••

As the movie played I couldn't help but notice how close we were sat. Our shoulders were touching. My legs were brought up to my chest as I rested my head on my knees. Seokjin had picked the movie Midnight Runners as our film to watch for the night. It felt nice to actually have someone here when mum wasn't around. It made me feel happy.

"Thanks again for staying with me. It feels nice to have company"

"Anytime. It must get lonely sometimes"

"It does but I manage to keep myself busy with studies"

"Let's make a deal. Whenever your mum is working a night shift, we will hang out whether it's to do studying or going out somewhere"

"DEAL!"

~ One Month Later ~

It was the day of the contest. Everyone participating was backstage getting themselves ready and going over their routines. I was in the far corner. My hands were shaking and I could feel them getting sweaty. I've performed in front of people so many time so why am I nervous?

"Hey, are you ok?"

"A little nervous, that's all"

"Please don't be nervous. Is it because there's judges from SNU out front?"

I nodded my head as a yes whilst holding my head down and looking a the floor.

"Pretend they are not there. Focus your eyes on me and only me. I'll be there with at all times"

"Ok."

"Y/N and Seokjin, you're up!"

•••

We stood in our positions just as the song started playing. I did exactly what Seokjin told me to do and kept my eyes on him as we moved around the stage. We did our lift perfectly and ended the dance whilst looking at each other. Our faces were so close to one another as the butterflies fluttered in my stomach. We walked backstage and sat down on the sofa in the dressing room.

"Told you that would be perfect"

"Thank you for being the perfect partner"

"Maybe I can be the perfect partner forever?"

"What?"

"I've fallen for you these past couple months we've spent together. Be my girlfriend Y/N?"

"Do you even have to ask. Of course I will"

We leaned in and kissed each other whilst we could hearing some whistling in the background. I pulled away and held my head down in a shy matter, only for it to be held up by Seokjin's hand. He smiled at me.

"Baby, we found love right where we are"
