"X-O X-O, Kiss me, Don't say no"
Eun Ae's dreams are coming true as she secures a scholarship to a prestigious dance academy in Seoul. Leaving her hometown behind, she steps into a world filled with promise and challenges. Her parents' approval and...
I watched Eun Ae leave the room, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. I couldn't help but chuckle softly to myself. After she left, I decided to take a shower to clear my head. As the hot water cascaded over me, I replayed the events of the morning. The memory of Eun Ae falling asleep on my shoulder made my heart race. I had tried to stay as still as possible, not wanting to wake her. She looked so peaceful and beautiful, and I couldn't stop thinking about it.
When we got back to the dorms last night, I gently carried her to her dorm and laid her on her bed. She looked so serene, and I couldn't help but watch her for a moment before leaving. Stepping out of the shower, I dried off and wrapped a towel around my waist, still lost in my thoughts.
As I stepped into Eun Ae's room, I saw her staring at my abs. I smirked and cleared my throat, "You like what you see, Eun Ae?" I teased.
She stuttered a denial, "No!" Her cheeks flushed a deeper shade of red as she quickly walked out. I laughed softly and changed into my clothes from yesterday. Checking the time, I saw it was already 7:50 AM. I had to get to my classes soon.
"I'm going to leave for my classes now," I told Eun Ae. "I'll see you at dance class."
"Okay, bye," she replied, still looking flustered.
I waved goodbye and left. As I arrived at my dorm, Jay was there, giving me a knowing look. "I think I know what you did," he said.
"No, nothing happened," I assured him, recounting how Eun Ae had fallen asleep on my shoulder and how I had carried her to her dorm, choosing to sleep on the couch so I wouldn't wake him up.
Jay nodded. "You'd better change. Class is about to start."
I changed into a navy blue sweater, a white undershirt, black wide-leg pants, white sneakers, and a black crossbody bag. Heading to my first class, Mr. Lee was talking about some math project, but my mind kept wandering back to Eun Ae. Math and chemistry classes ended in a blur, and soon it was lunchtime.

I saw Eun Ae talking to her friends and waved to her. She waved back, and I went to sit with Jay, Sunghoon, Sunoo, Jungwon, Jake, and Heeseung. Sunghoon was talking about the upcoming dance trip everyone was excited about.
"You guys should come too," Sunghoon said.
Jay looked at me. "Is Eun Ae coming too?"
Heeseung, Sunoo, Jake, and Jungwon all chimed in, hoping she would join. "It would be fun if she's coming," Heeseung added.
"Why don't you ask her, Niki? You have dance class with her next," Jay suggested.
I nodded. "I'll try to ask her."
After lunch, I went back to my dorm to change into my dance clothes: a navy blue and white loose windbreaker jacket, a white undershirt, black wide-leg pants, and Nike Dunks. I ran to the dance studio and found Eun Ae practicing.
