Changes - Minsung

Part 26

Jisung's POV

I clearly feel the bass in my chest. Every single beat thunders through my body.
We shifted to the dance floor after a while because Jeongin really wanted to dance.

One drinking game later, I also think it's a really good idea. I don't care about it anymore. Just let the music guide me.
I dance over to Seungmin and then back to Changbin. Everyone is in a good mood and enjoying the moment.
More and more people join in. Even Hyunjin and Felix have placed themselves near us and are dancing together. Not only do they look so good together, but when they dance together, you almost can't look away. It looks so dynamic and charged, yet somehow intimate and familiar.

Watching them do it makes me think of dance rehearsals with Minoh. How we move together and our bodies touch. I feel redness rise to my cheeks. Stop Han... I think.
Distracted by the thought, I didn't notice at all how a circle has been drawn around me and Jeongin on the dance floor. "Dancebattle" some of the onlookers shout.
In the background on the wall, I see Minoh staring over at me. Well, now we'll see who doesn't know how to party Minoh.

I reach down next to me on one of the tables and take a shot, signaling that I'm ready. The crowd cheers and screams. Jeongin goes first and I continue smoothly.
I let myself fall completely into the music and beat and fade out everything else.
The alcohol tingles sweetly through my body and I feel my fears turn me off.
I am good and I can do it, I say to myself.

With more and more confidence my steps become more daring and better. I feel incredible and the crowd of spectators seems to like it, which makes me want to keep going.

Changbin and Chan stand at the edge of the circle and watch the scene."That's not our jisungi, is it?" Changbin can hardly believe his eyes.
"That little guy is really full of surprises... I've seen that side of him when he sings, too. It's incredible what presence and sex appeal he can have" Chan retorts in his direction.
Both laugh and continue to watch the spectacle.

The song is over and everyone starts dancing normally again. Jeongin hugs me and presses a kiss to my cheek. "Good battle," he purrs.

Seungmin comes over to us and reaches under Jeongin's arms. "Come on Innie. You did great but let's go find you some water."
They both walk towards the kitchen and I look around. My gaze catches the spot where I had last seen minoh. It triggers me that I automatically look for him.
I see him still leaning against the wall, only now surrounded again by a couple of girls who are ogling him.
For a moment I thought our eyes had crossed, but it doesn't matter... I'm just a no-good and a burden to him.
Let him have his fucking fun. What do I even care.

I grab a bottle from the table. My friends are nowhere to be seen, but I'm not feeling for company right now either.
Once again I cast an annoyed glance at Minoh, then shake my head and put the bottle on.
Fuck you Minoh. I make my way out through the people and disappear into the garden.
