Dance Connection (Eunhyuk x Reader)

Chapter 30

The sun was slowly coming up, and Eunhyuk's eyes opened. They were still sitting in the cottage. The fire had calmed down, and the coolness of the breeze had taken its place. He slightly shifted and looked at Seoyeon. She had been sleeping with her head on his shoulder and his jacket on her legs to keep her warm. She still had his shirt on, which had softly shifted to the side on her tiny frame. Looking at her, he smiled and brought his palm to her face. "Seoyeonaa..." he softly said. Seoyeon shifted in her place and opened her eyes. The cottage came into view, and she raised her head to look at him. "Hmm?" she hummed with a smile. Eunhyuk smiled in return.

"It is almost dawn, and the rain has stopped. Let's go back." Seoyeon looked around, "yeah, it seems so. Let's go." Seoyeon moved her hand away from his embrace in an effort to get up. "Wait!" Eunhyuk jumped. "Huh? What happened?" she asked as they got up. "you are really sleepy, aren't you?" "Not really, why?" "Look at yourself." Eunhyuk smiled and said. Seoyeon looked at herself, and her ears turned red. She had completely forgotten about the shirt. "Umm... yeah, this will be wayyy too controversial," they looked at each other and chuckled. "Let me do one thing - I will wear the dress on top of the shirt so I don't catch a cold. Is that okay with you?" Eunhyuk gave a side-eye and said, "Go." Seoyeon got up, leaving Eunhyuk to check on the weather. He picked up his jacket from the floor and walked to the gate as he dusted it.

"All done. Let's go." Seoyeon called for him, and he turned. She had indeed managed to make a fashion statement out of a gents shirt and a very sensual dress. He smiled and walked towards her. "Nicely done." "Well," she smirked cheekily, "I have style in my blood," and started laughing at her joke. Eunhyuk laughed with her as they walked back to the resort.

Eunhyuk and Seoyeon drove back in his car to her apartment. The windows were open, and Seoyeon was looking outside, feeling the cool early morning breeze on her face. Eunhyuk was driving in the meanwhile, stealing a few glances at her now and then. The recording of the same song was playing in the car stereo, making the atmosphere sweeter and gentler. The car ride was filled with silence and contentment in both their hearts.

An hour later...Like before, 

Eunhyuk stopped the car a little ahead of her apartment. "By the way," he said, removing his seatbelt and turning to face her. "Did you open my gift, or is it still in the purse?" A sudden realisation hit Seoyeon, and she felt somewhat guilty. "Sorry, in all that happened and the rain, and the..." she trailed off, realising she was about to mention their kiss, "uh hmm, I just safely kept it in the purse." "Will you get it, please?" Seoyeon looked at him, slightly confused, "Okay..." she picked up her purse from the backseat and took out the gift box. She looked at him, "should I open it now?" "Um hmm" "Okay..." again, concluding with the same word, she delicately removed the wrapping and kept it in her purse. She opened the small wooden box, and inside was a thin golden chain with a pendant of some characters. Her eyes glistened. "This is so beautiful! I really love it! Thank you so much!" she kept looking at it with happy eyes. "What does the pendant mean?" Eunhyuk smiled, "it is my name in Japanese." He took the chain from her hand and put it around her neck. Getting the direction, Seoyeon shifted a little and lifted her hair. Eunhyuk closed the lock of the chain and placed a soft kiss on her shoulder. "This is just to tell you that I love you." "It is beautiful. Thank you." She looked at him, "I will wear it every day." "Are you sure?" "Yeah, even if someone spots it, they don't understand what the pendant reads." "Uh, Donghae can." "Huh? How?" "He is part Japanese" "Oh! Well, Donghae is not getting any sights to spot it, so..." Seoyeon's words were cut short by Eunhyuk's lips on hers. "No one else can till I am around." Seoyeon's cheeks turned red. "Well... I should go. I will see you on Monday." "Yeah... day after tomorrow... okay." Silence for a second. "Umm... okay then, bye." "Bye, Seoyeonaa." Eunhyuk smiled at her, and Seoyeon walked to her apartment as Eunhyuk drove off. Her phone beeped, and Seoyeon opened the screen lock to read the message - "Sleep tight. I love you."
