Ni-Ki - i need you

Y/n's Point of View 

"Ughhhh, what am i going to do?" I groaned as i plopped down on my chair as soon as i got back to class from the dance studio. I put my head down on the desk lazily as i heaved a heavy sigh.

Minji patted my back in a supportive manner as if she can feel the same burden and stress i'm feeling.

"You'll do great, Y/n, don't worry!" She exclaimed.

"But my partner is going to be Ni-Ki! You know how annoying he is to me, and how he just enjoys getting under my skin." I rolled my eyes at the thought of my fellow 'friend' from dance class who finds his happiness in my suffering.

"I'm sure he finds this project important as much as you do and maybe he'll cooperate for once and spend less time trying too tease you."

"I hope so, thanks Minji." I smiled softly, thanking her for her supportive affirmation. Even so, i just couldn't shake off the nervous and uneasy feeling i have.

Later after school was over, i decided to practice on my own first so i'd be one step ahead of Ni-Ki. I went to the dance studio where no one else was there, i clicked on the light switch and turned on the air conditioning before doing some stretches. After that i started to go over the dance steps, listening to the music over and over again to get the groove. It was going smooth sailing, but however i came to face a challenge where i couldn't get a dance step right, it seems that my body was just not catching the feeling. I repeated it again and again but it was no use, i was so close on bursting out.

"Need some help?"

"AAAHH!!" I screamed when i heard someone's voice behind me, i turned around to see Ni-Ki, laughing his head off as he saw how scared i was just now.

"Why did you sneak up on me like that?!" I punch his shoulder for payback but it seems that it doesn't have much power to it as he was still laughing while holding his stomache. After that his laughter died down, wiping the tears that had escaped his eye from all the laughter. While i was there, lowkey frowning with both of my arms crossed.

"Well that was hilarious, anyways as i was saying, do you need any help?" He asked.

"No thanks." I shook my head, and gestured him to go before turning back to face the mirror.

"Of course, i forgot how stubborn you are." Upon seeing my struggled figure, Ni-KI insisted on helping me to get the dance step right, so i had no choice than to let him do it. Surprisingly, he taught me so easily that i could catch up real quick, i was shocked to see myself doing the step perfectly in just a few minutes.

"I did it! I did it!" I jumped up and down in excitement seeing i could do the step nicely this time. Unconsciously i held both of Ni-Ki's hand and he jumped along with me, it's safe to say that he passed the vibe check. But after i realized what i was doing, i quickly let go of his hands and turned away a little.

"Uh.. I meant to say thanks." Ni-Ki chuckled seeing my change of behavior, making him pinch my cheek out of nowhere. I widened my eyes as i was flustered at the sudden gesture, but i quickly change it so i side eyed him instead.

"Let my cheek go, or else." I threatened with a playful manner but in a serious tone, making Ni-Ki grin even wider.

"Or else what, hm? You're gonna do something about it?" This time Ni-ki took a step closer facing me fully, now both of his hands are cupping my cheeks as they squished them like it was some kind of toy. I furrowed my eyebrows at the unexpected interaction but somehow couldn't do anything about it.

"Aish, stop squishing my cheeks!" I stretched out my hand and tickle his side instead as a payback, he jumped at the sudden ticklish feeling making him stop squishing my cheeks.

"Ow okay okay!" He forfeit. Then his gaze fell to his wrist watch, checking the time that was shown through it.

"Oof, i gotta go. See you tomorrow." He grabbed his backpack that he left on the floor and ruffled my hair before he ran out of the dance studio leaving me speechless. My hand found its way to my chest as i feel my heart thumping loudly.

"No way, nope, no no no, you're definitely not falling for him Y/n, nope." I shook my head severous time as i slapped myself mentally. After convincing myself that it was just a moment of where my feelings were carried away, i continued to focus back on practicing.

It was the day of the dance competition, i was pacing back and forth in the backstage with my phone beside my ear, calling Ni-Ki as he was nowhere to be found.

"Where is he??" I mumbled frustratedly. I was panicking inside as it was about to be our turn for the competition.

"Looking for me?" I turned around when i heard a voice that i've been wanting to hear, he was there standing ever so calmly on the wall. I quickly went up to him and gave him a light hit on his shoulder.

"Where were you?? Don't you know how worried i am that you might not show up??" My arms were crossed as i wait for his answer. In return he just smiled cheekily.

"It's our turn now! Let's go!" Ni-Ki grabbed my hand and drag me to the stage. We greet the juries first and the audience before taking our position. A few seconds later, the music starts as we started performing. I was really nervous that i might not pull the dance off, but looking at Ni-Ki's reassuring look everytime we made eye contact, i began to perform confidently. 

Without realizing it, the music had come to an end. We strike our ending pose, a satisfied was drawn on my face as i hear the crowds cheering. Suddenly, all the lights went off, except the one that was above me, making me shine alone in the spotlight, i was confused, and so was everyone else. I turn to look at Ni-Ki but he wasn't there. I looked back at the crowd, froze on the spot not knowing what to do, until i heard someone who started singing the song that we used for the performance. 

"Girl, I need a girl mwolhaedo ippeun,"

"Mommaedo ippeun,"

"Girl, I need a girl, Baby I need you,"

"Girl you need me too."

I turned around in shock as i see Ni-Ki singing 'I Need A Girl' by Taeyang while holding a bouquet of flowers. The crowd goes wild but all i can hear is his sweet voice and my thumping heart. Ni-Ki handed me the flowers before asking something that i never expect.

"Will you be my girl?" 

The crowd cheered when i finally answer the question with a simple nod, yet it made Ni-Ki the happiest guy on earth. And so the room was filled with happy cheers and excitement for the new couple.

 I know i said that he was annoying, but hey, how can anyone say no to the Nishimura Riki?
