The vibrant buzz of the Wild West-themed bar filled the air, and Misty navigated through the crowd, enjoying the lively atmosphere. The wooden floors creaked beneath her boots as she made her way to the bar, where she planned to grab a drink and take a break from the dance floor.

Suddenly, someone jostled her from behind. Misty stumbled, nearly losing her balance. Her heart raced as she flailed to steady herself, but before she could hit the floor, a strong pair of arms reached out and caught her.

She looked up to find Jaemin, his eyes filled with concern. "Are you okay?" he asked, his tone soft yet urgent.

Misty blinked, still a bit disoriented. "Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks for catching me." She looked around to see who had bumped into her, but the culprit had already vanished into the crowd, barely sparing a glance back.

Jaemin gave her a reassuring smile. "No problem. You almost took a tumble there. It's a bit chaotic in here."

Misty laughed, relieved. "I guess I was so caught up in the fun that I didn't notice how packed it was."

Jaemin gently set her back on her feet and kept his hand on her arm, ensuring she was steady. "Maybe you should stick close to the bar. It's safer."

Misty nodded, appreciating the gesture. "Good idea. Thanks again. I owe you one."

Jaemin's eyes twinkled with a hint of flirtation. "How about you let me buy you that drink as a thank you?"

Misty smirked, enjoying the attention. "I think I can accept that. Lead the way."

As they walked to the bar together, Jaemin and Misty fell into easy conversation, the earlier scare fading into the background. The night continued with laughter and lighthearted banter, the unexpected catch turning into a promising new connection.
