scoups; him as your blind best friend

Chapter 6

You immediately turned away, stumbling and falling on the ground.
"Y/n, is everything okay?" His mother came to you immediately.
You nodded slightly. "Yeah, everything is okay. I was just... surprised."
Seungcheol stood there, not moving an inch. He just looked completely shocked. His mother helped you up. You patted your dress, smiling st her.
"Thank you."
She turned to Seungcheol. "Don't turn around that quickly, Seungcheol."
"Sorry." He murmured.
"I think we have enough-" His dad started but got interrupted by the doorbell. "Oh that must be Joshua and Seungkwan."
His dad went to open the door. You were still in shock. You wouldn't have thought that your lips would meet when you turned towards him. It was only one second, a little touch, just a tiny moment between you two. But looking at him, standing there, you knew that he was shocked too. And not in a good way.

Joshua and Seungkwan were coming in. Smiling at the two of you.
"Here we are!" Joshua said, coming to hug you. You hugged him back.
"Hey guys."
"You ready to party?" Seungkwan asked, checking Seungcheol up. "If only you know, how good you look. Every girl would be happy to have a dance with you."
Seungcheol smiled slightly. "Well, but I don't wanna dance with every girl."
Seungkwan laughed and turned towards you.
"Wow y/n, you look... perfect."
You laughed. "Oh c'mon. Don't exaggerate."
"Trust me, I'm not. Sad that our friend here can't see this beauty." Seungkwan hit Seungcheol in his side.
"Hey!"
Seungkwan laughed.

"C'mon, let's take some pictures before you go!"
The four of you were standing together, posing for the pictures Seungcheols mom took of you. After that, you left the house, where Joshuas dad was waiting in his car for you. You all got in, driving the party location. While you were driving there, Joshua, Seungkwan and Seungcheol were talking about going on a trip the next weekend, celebrating your graduation.
All you worried about was the kiss, or almost kiss. You hoped that Seungcheol wouldn't be too mad about it and that his plans for tonight wouldn't be in risk of getting canceled. On the other side you hoped that he would feel good about it and talked to you about it later. But deep down you know that wouldn't happen.

You arrived at the party location, going in.
"Let's have fun tonight, guys. This is our night. We did it, we finally did it. So dance and have fun like there is no tomorrow. Got it?" Joshua looked at all of us.
You smiled at him, nodding.
"Got it." Seungkwan said.
Seungcheol nodded too. "Let's rock this."
Joshua smiled. "Okay, let's go!"
You went into the big dance area. Many students were already there, dancing like there's no tomorrow. Everyone looked incredible but decent. You felt too overdressed.
"Guys I'm too overdressed." You said, looking down at yourself.
"Absolutely not, don't think about it!" Seungkwan said, taking your hand. "Let's dance!"
He pulled you into the dance mob. You looked back at Joshua and Seungcheol, who were laughing while talking to each other. Seungkwan and you started to dance and sang along to the songs. You had fun, really. And you even forgot about Seungcheol for some minutes. After a few songs, Seungkwan decided to get you something to drink. You danced by your own, looking around.

You found Seungcheol standing on the side, being alone. He had his sunglasses on and was looking here and there, like he was searching for something or someone. You were about to go to him, when you saw Min Jae approaching him. You stood still, watching them. She looked pretty. She wore a black satin dress, almost looking like your dress but only in black. They looked like they belong to each other. And you hated that. She said something to him which made him laugh, letting him show off his dimples. You were feeling sick, feeling like throwing up.
"Everything okay?"
You flinched, looking on your left. "Jesus, Seungkwan. Don't scare me like that."
He laughed and handed you your drink. "Sorry. Where are you looking at?"
You took a sip from your drink. That god it wasn't something alcoholic. "Oh nothing."
Seungkwan saw Seungcheol and Min Jae talking. "Why is he talking to Min Jae?"
You shrugged your shoulders. "I don't know."
"Weird. He doesn't even like here."
You looked at him. "What?"

Seungkwan looked at you. "He doesn't like her. They had this partner project a long time ago and she was talking non stop about her horses and even showed him pictures of them."
You raised an eyebrow. "Really?"
Seungkwan nodded. "Yeah."
You looked back at them. Why would he tell you something else? That he likes her? Did he lie to you? Did he lie to Seungkwan about her, to hide is feelings for her? You didn't know what to think about it.
"Anyway, let's keep dancing. Joshua is doing a breakdance if we don't stop him!"
Seungkwan pulled you in the middle again, where Joshua was already going crazy. You are always surprised about how crazy your friends were. But that is one of the reasons why you love them so much. The three of you were dancing for a while.

After some time, you decided to leave the dance floor, to get some fresh air. You were going outside, taking a deep breath once the cold air hit you. You looked around. Some little groups of people were standing outside, along with some couple who were talking or kissing. Your eyes landed on Min Jae, who was talking to one of her friends. You hesitated. Should you ask her about Seungcheol? If she likes him or something? Or maybe if he confessed to her?
Taking a step into her direction, you heard something shouting your name. You turned around, looking at Seungcheol, who was stumbling outside, searching for you.
"I'm here." You said louder.
He looked into the direction where your voice was coming from, slowly approaching you.
"We were worried about you." He said when he stopped right in front of you.
"We?"
"Seungkwan came up to me and said that you were going outside. He asked me to look for you. I thought something happened. Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm okay. Just taking some fresh air."
He nodded. "Oh I see."
You looked at him. "Min Jae is standing some meters away from us, talking to a friend. Should I get her here?"
He raised an eyebrow. "What? No."
"C'mon, Cheol. You have to confess to her!"
He shook his head. "No, y/n. I don't have to"

"But why not?"
He hesitated. "I... I already talked to her and she said, that she is dating someone."
"What? Who?"
He shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know, I didn't asked. Can we go in now?"
"How are you now? Are you sad? I'm so sorry, Cheol.."
You placed a hand on his arm. He flinched at the touch of your hand. He shook his head.
"I'm okay, y/n. Let's go in and dance together."
"Are you-"
"Yes, y/n."
You looked at him concerned. You didn't know what to say or to think. You were sad for him. You wanted him to be happy, to have someone he likes and likes him too. Someone who would do everything to make him happy, someone like you. Why does she have to like someone else than him?
"Seungcheol I-"
"Y/n, I swear to god, please just go in together and talk about this sometime else."
You sighed. "Okay. But tell me when you want to talk."
He nodded "I will."

The two of you were going in together, heading to the dance floor.
"Since when are you dancing?" You asked him, once you were on the dance floor.
He shrugged his shoulders. "Trying something new I guess."
You smiled slightly. "I see."
You were dancing along to the songs together. Seungcheol was stiff in the beginning but got more relaxed and flexible after some time. The next song playing was safe inside by James Arthur. You looked around - everyone was pairing up with another, or more like their dates. You looked at Seungcheol.
"Cheol-"
"Can I ask for this dance?"
He offered you his hand. You looked at his hand, at his face, and his hand again.
"Do you know how to dance like that?"
He shrugged his shoulders. "Can't be that hard."
You chuckled. "Okay."
You took his hand, placing the other one on his shoulder. He placed his free hand on your waist. You got goosebumps all over your body and your cheeks turned red. You were happy he couldn't see that now.
You two danced together smoothly, not going too fast, so Seungcheol could keep up with you.

"About the kiss earlier-"
You cut him off. "That was no kiss... our lips just met for a second."
"Did you feel something?"
You looked away. "Why are you asking that?"
"Just answer my question. Did you feel something, when our lips met? Even though it was only a second."
"Cheol..."
"Y/n, answer."
You sighed. "I did feel something, yes."
"And what?"
"Cheol, please."
"What? I wanna know."
"But why? Do you want to ruin our friendship?"
"No, of course not. That's why I am asking you what you felt. If you felt the same as me."
You looked up at him. "What did you feel?"
He shook his head. "Ladies first."
You sighed. "Cheol, you're getting on my nerves."
He grinned. "I love teasing you."
"I know. And I hate you."
"I bet you don't."
"You don't-"

He shut you up by kissing you real this time.
