jaemin's eyes moved along the dancing couples in the ballroom as he was intrigued by the scene unfolding in front of him.

even though not all their steps matched to the sound of the slow, romantic song, their affectionate looks and genuine smiles on their faces matched the love they felt for each other.

the pink haired boy cracked a little smile, finding the dancing couples utterly wholesome. his grin grew wider when he spotted his best friend chatting bubbly and giggling with the prom king while messing up the beat to the song they danced to.

"they are so cute", jaemin thought to himself before catching mark accidentally stepping on hyuck's feet and making the younger one yelp in pain, "... and silly."

"hey cotton candy boy", someone called out, making the pink haired boy snap out of his thoughts.

jaemin's head perked up as his gaze shifted to his younger friend standing in front of him.

an amused grin adorned yejoon's lips as he started to wiggle his brows. "wanna be my yee to my haw?", the latter asked charmingly, tilting his head.

the pink haired boy furrowed his brows as confusion was written on his face. "what?", jaemin questioned irritatedly, seeing the younger one laugh at his reaction.

"wanna dance with me?", yejoon asked him again, this time making it clearer. jaemin's confusion faded as a lightbulb lit up inside his head.

"that's a weird way to ask for a dance", the pink haired boy teased, laughing at his silly words.

"i wanted to be different than the other girls or boys", the sophomore declared jokingly, flipping back his imaginative long hair, "so, is it a yes or no?"

"sure, let's dance", jaemin agreed grinning and took gently his hand in his, pulling him to the dance floor.

yejoon's heart skipped a beat when the older one took the initiative and grabbed his hand. the simple touch and action left a tingling sensation on him, making him feel overwhelmed. he was truly taken aback, nonetheless, managed to follow his steps.

the pink haired boy came to a halt when he found the perfect spot for them to dance. his eyes locked with his as a warm smile adorned his lips.

"let's dance, shall we?", jaemin suggested joyfully, holding gently his hand and interwining his fingers with his.

"sure", yejoon breathed, feeling butterflies fluttering in his stomach at the action. he was internally freaking out — in a good way tho, he's just a flustered gay panic — and his loud, racing heartbeat didn't make things better.

jaemin didn't make things better either. the pink haired boy placed his free hand on his back, pulling him gently closer to him and making the younger one feel even more flustered.

heat shot up yejoon's face as the proximity drove him crazy. jaemin, on the other head, managed to be calm and giggled softly when noticing his blush. "he's so cute."

a new slow song started to play, reminding jaemin to finally get started.

the pink haired boy took the lead and took the first steps. yejoon followed suit, moving along with him.

everything around them seemed to slowly blur out while the two of them were dancing under the magnificent light.

the people's chattering and music in the background faded with each second passing by. the only music that played was the melody of their heartbeats.

yejoon's heart was pounding quickly, making it hard for him to stay calm. it was a mutual feeling as jaemin felt the same way.

strange feelings twisted his stomach. the pink haired boy felt all dizzy and giddy while dancing with him.
