A Dance to Remember

Sypnopsis:

Neighbors and lifelong friends Renjun and Jaemin confess their love on the last day of college, sharing a magical prom night that marks the start of their romantic relationship.

✦

Renjun and Jaemin had been neighbors for as long as they could remember. Their houses, standing side by side, witnessed their shared childhood-bike rides down the cul-de-sac, whispered secrets on summer nights, and endless homework sessions. Over the years, their friendship grew stronger, blooming into something deeper as they both navigated the trials and tribulations of high school and eventually, college.

✦

It was the final day of college, a day that hung heavy with bittersweet nostalgia. The campus buzzed with excitement, students milling about in their finest clothes, ready to celebrate their achievements at prom. Renjun, with his tousled hair and shy smile, tried to mask his nerves. He stole glances at Jaemin, who seemed more composed but equally anxious. For months, they'd danced around their feelings, each too scared to take the first step.

Jaemin had always been the more daring of the two, his bright eyes and infectious laughter drawing people to him effortlessly. Yet, when it came to Renjun, his confidence faltered. They had shared so much-memories, dreams, fears-but the words he longed to say seemed caught in his throat.

✦

Jaemin decided he could no longer wait. The thought of leaving college without confessing his feelings to Renjun was unbearable. He took a deep breath, feeling his heart pound against his ribs, and walked across the quad to where Renjun was standing, chatting with a group of friends.

❝Renjun,❞ he called, his voice steady despite the turmoil within. Renjun turned, his eyes widening slightly in surprise. ❝Can I talk to you for a moment?❞

Renjun nodded, excusing himself from the conversation. They moved to a quieter spot, away from the chatter and laughter. Jaemin looked at him, his heart swelling with affection and determination. ❝Renjun, we've been friends for so long. You've been there for me through everything, and I-❞ He paused, gathering his courage. ❝I have feelings for you. I don't want to end this chapter of our lives without telling you how much you mean to me. Will you go to prom with me?❞

Renjun's eyes softened, a smile spreading across his face. ❝Yes, Jaemin. I'd love to go to prom with you.❞ The words were simple, but they carried the weight of their unspoken feelings.

Around them, their friends erupted into cheers and applause, having watched the scene unfold from a distance. The outburst of joy and encouragement made Renjun blush, but he couldn't help but laugh along with them. Jaemin's relief was palpable, his grin widening as he pulled Renjun into a tight hug.

✦

The night of the prom was magical. The venue was adorned with twinkling lights and elegant decorations, a fitting backdrop for the emotions that filled the air. Renjun and Jaemin arrived together, hand in hand, feeling the shift in their relationship as they walked into the grand hall. Their friends greeted them with warm smiles and knowing looks, silently celebrating their newfound love.

As the music began to play, Jaemin led Renjun to the dance floor. The melody was slow and sweet, enveloping them in a bubble of intimacy. They moved together, swaying gently, their eyes locked. Every step felt like a confession, every touch a promise.

❝You look beautiful tonight,❞ Jaemin whispered, his breath warm against Renjun's ear. Renjun blushed, his heart fluttering.

❝So do you,❞ he replied softly, leaning into Jaemin's embrace. The world around them faded, leaving just the two of them lost in their own universe.

They danced the night away, their hearts beating in sync. Every moment was perfect, every second a cherished memory. As the final notes of the last song played, Jaemin leaned in, his lips brushing against Renjun's. It was a gentle, tentative kiss, but it spoke volumes. It was a promise of a future together, a declaration of love that had been years in the making.

When they finally pulled apart, Renjun's eyes shimmered with unshed tears of happiness. ❝I love you, Jaemin,❞ he said, his voice barely above a whisper.

❝I love you too, Renjun,❞ Jaemin replied, his voice filled with emotion. ❝Always have, always will.❞

Under the twinkling lights of the prom, amidst the laughter and joy of their friends, Renjun and Jaemin found their forever. It was a night they would never forget, the beginning of a beautiful new chapter in their lives.
