Love In Disguise

Chapter 14 : Dance With Me

Jennie and Jisoo were strolling down the long, empty corridor of the school, their footsteps echoing off the rows of lockers. The fluorescent lights above hummed softly, casting a warm glow over the scene.

They were approaching a room with large windows that allowed natural light to pour in and illuminate the polished wooden floors. The sign on the door read "Dance Studio" in bold letters.

"Hey, Jennie, let's go in here for a sec," Jisoo said, her eyes sparkling with mischief.

"What's up, Unnie? I don't want to be late," Jennie replied, but before she could react, Jisoo pushed her inside and locked the door from outside.

"Jisoo! Open the door! What are you doing?" Jennie shouted, banging on the door, she heard Jisoo's voice from outside, "Don't worry, Jennie! I'll let you out...when you perform the chicken dance for me!" Jennie's response was a loud "NO WAY!" followed by the sound of her attempting to escape...but really just tripping over her own feet.

"Jennie" a familiar soft voice called her name, breaking the silence. The room was dimly lit, with only a few rays of sunlight peeking through the blinds. Jennie turned to see Lisa standing looking at her with a confused expression.

"What are you doing here?" Lisa asked, her voice gentle.

"Ahmm....actually Jisoo Unnie suddenly pushed me inside and locked the door," Jennie replied, pouting.

Lisa's eyes sparkled with amusement as she took in Jennie's pouting face. "Cute!" she said, her voice barely above a whisper. Jennie's eyes narrowed, but she couldn't help smiling. The studio's mirrors reflected their images, making it seem like they were surrounded by multiple versions of themselves.

"By the way, why are you here?" Jennie asked, looking around the room. It was the same room where she first saw Lisa dancing with Hanbin, their bodies moving in perfect sync. The memory still lingered, and Jennie felt a pang of... something. She mentally scoffed, pushing the feeling aside. The room was filled with the scent of old dance shoes and the faint hint of perfume.

Lisa followed Jennie's gaze, noticing the direction of her attention. "Oh, I was just practicing for my dance competition," she said, her voice filled with excitement. Her eyes shone with passion, and her hair was tied up in a messy bun, revealing her focused expression.

Jennie raised an eyebrow, feigning surprise. "Didn't know you had potential in dancing," she teased, trying to sound nonchalant. The sound of distant music and laughter filtered through the door, but inside the room, it was quiet, except for the sound of their conversation.

Lisa's face flushed, and she looked down, her hair falling around her like a curtain. The studio's windows allowed natural light to pour in, illuminating the scene, and highlighting Lisa's embarrassment.

Jennie's eyes sparkled with excitement as she asked, "So now that you know, can I have a dance with you?" Lisa's face lit up with a smile, and she nodded, holding out her hands. Jennie took them, her touch sending shivers down Lisa's spine. The studio's speakers filled the room with a romantic melody, and Jennie swayed to the music, her eyes locked on Lisa's.

As they danced, the soft light of the setting sun filtered through the windows, casting a warm glow on their entwined figures. The room was quiet, except for the sound of their gentle breathing and the music. Lisa's giggles filled the air as Jennie spun her around, their hands still clasped together.

After a few moments of dancing, Jennie's gaze turned intense, her eyes searching Lisa's face. "Lili?" she whispered, using the nickname she had given Lisa in high school. Lisa's eyes widened in surprise, and she felt a flutter in her chest.

Jennie's voice was soft and gentle as she asked, "I thought you were escaping to your hometown for a break. What changed your mind?" The music swirled around them, but Lisa's mind was focused on Jennie's question. She hesitated, unsure of how much to reveal.

Sensing Lisa's nervousness, Jennie didn't press the issue, and an comfortable silence fell between them. They stood there, swaying gently to the music, their eyes locked on each other's.

Lisa's eyes locked onto Jennie's, her mind racing with how much to share. "Honestly? I was running away from something, but I realized I needed to face it instead."

Jennie's expression turned curious. "What were you running from?"

Lisa's pause was brief before she replied, "Myself, I guess. And some unresolved feelings."

Jennie's gaze held a deep understanding. "And now?"

Lisa's voice barely rose above the music. "Now I'm trying to find my way back to myself."

As they stood there, the tension between them grew, and the air was filled with anticipation. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Jennie whispered, "I miss you." Lisa's eyes widened in surprise, and she felt a flutter in her chest. She didn't say anything, just looked at Jennie, her heart racing with emotions.

They both were slowly leaning in, their faces inches apart, their lips almost touching. The music swirled around them, and the studio's windows reflected the vibrant colors of the sunset outside. The room was filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers, and the soft hum of the music created a sense of intimacy.

Just as their lips were about to touch, the door burst open....
