" in this moment , gathered as one same reflection , our new exchange . " ⊹˚₊
An arranged marriage of convenience...
"If she had the choice now, she would choose to marry her anyways."
A fake couple...
""If it's only for one day...""
Two girls forc...
DAHYUN WALKED THROUGH THE DANCE DEPARTMENT of her university, nervously looking through the windows of each studio's door, hoping to find a certain japanese girl.
As she approached the last room, she peeked through the glass and she stopped, watching the girl inside dance so smoothly and so effortlessly to a hip-hop-style song with a laid back beat, but lots of groove.
Just as she was about to knock on the door, a pair of hands blocked her way, "What are you doing?" A girl asked, looking down at Dahyun with a slight glare. There were two others, a boy and a girl, who looked at her in the same way, their arms crossed.
Dahyun furrowed her eyebrows, staring at them with her mouth slightly agape.
Then she realised; The fan club that Yubin had mentioned. Wow... She was being serious.
"Uh...?" Dahyun's voice trailed off as she looked at the three infront of her.
"What's your business with our Kaede-san, huh?" The boy asked, his arms folded infront of him.
Our Kaede-san? She questioned in her mind.
Dahyun chuckled nervously and awkwardly, her eyes darting between them and the practice room door. "Uh... I just wanted to speak with her." She explained quietly.
"About what?" One of them asked.
Another one took a step closer, "Why do you wanna speak to her?"
With her mind spiralling and her heart pounding in her chest, she reaches for the door and opens it, stepping inside the practice room. She quickly shuts the door behind her, ignoring their shouts in protest.
She sighs in relief, her head resting against the door, not noticing the the music stopping and Kaede glancing up at her through the mirror.
As Dahyun turns around, she looks up, a small blush on her face. The girl infront of her is dressed in a t-shirt that's wrapped tightly around her torso and baggy jeans with a pair of old converse. Her hair was let down, a little messy, and slightly sweaty, sticking to her skin.
"Um, Dahyun-ssi?" She asks, her arms flopping at her sides as she catches her breath from dancing.
Dahyun's heart flutters just at the sound of her voice. "Holy shit." She whispers to herself, before snapping out of her daze and shaking her head. "U- Uh, i'm so sorry, um, these people... They stopped me by the door. I've never met them before, but they kind of scared me so i... Came in here to escape from them. They were asking me what my business was, and why wanted to speak with you." She spewed out her words all at once.
She swallowed the lump in her throat before taking in a breath, avoiding the Japanese girl's eyes, "I- I mean, i'm sorry that i just barged in here. I meant to knock, but those people really..." She trailed off, beginning to feel the embarassment creep up on her.
The room was silent for a moment, which kind of made Dahyun feel anxious. So, as she looked up, she felt relieved, and slightly embarassed, to see that Kaede had now turned to look at her, standing with a small smile on her face.
The younger girl held back her smile as best as she could, but she let out a quiet laugh. Cute, she thought. Kaede looked up at Dahyun, "It's okay."
Dahyun swallowed again, nodding nervously, her fingers fiddling with each other as she looked at Kaede.
"I'm... Really sorry about them." Kaede said eventually, "I really don't know why they like me so much." She blushed embarassedly, "They shouldn't have bothered you like that, though. I'll tell them off later."
Dahyun's eyes widened slightly as she shook her head, "A- Ah no, you don't have to do that." She said, "I'm scared they'll come and find me again." She mumbled to herself.
Kaede just smiled at her, before clearing her throat quietly, "U- Um, so, you said that you wanted to speak with me?"
"Oh, yeah," Dahyun blinked and breathed in, "Uh..." She trailed off, looking over at Kaede, who stood across the room, "I... Never really thought this through, i-" She cut herself off, a hand covering her face slightly.
Kaede walked over to the mirrored wall and picked up a bottle of water, "Come over here." She said quietly before taking a sip from the bottle.
Dahyun pursed her lips and walked over, watching as Kaede drank water. "I'm sorry, i should've thought about this before..." She said, her voice just above a whisper.
"It's okay." Kaede reassured her, as she looked up, just noticing that the Korean girl is a few inches taller, "Was there a reason, or...?"
Dahyun nodded, swallowing the small lump in her throat, "I just... Wanted to ask you... If you maybe wanted to..." She took in a deep breath and sighed, "Um, i'm really sorry, this is a terrible attempt at trying to become your friend." She whispered, her hands covering her face in embarrassment.
Kaede blushed, still looking up at Dahyun, "Friend?" She laughed quietly, "You came here to ask me to be your friend, Dahyun-ssi?"
Dahyun pursed her lips and dropped her hands from her face, nodding slightly.
"Hm, that's perfect." Kaede said softly, "I was just wondering how i'd become your friend, Dahyun-ssi."
"Really?" Dahyun asked, her eyes slightly wide. She tried to hide her smile, "That's great then." She said quietly, "Wh... Are you free any time this week?"
Kaede's eyes travelled to the side in thought, before looking back at Dahyun, "Yes. Friday."
Dahyun smiled, "Okay. Would you like to come with me on friday?"
"Come with you?" Kaede asked, "Do you have somewhere in mind already?"
"Uh..." Dahyun chuckled nervously, "No."
Kaede just smiled, "Okay. I'll come with you. What time does your classes end?"
"2pm." Dahyun answered, her hands fiddling with the hem of her hoodie absent mindedly.
"Okay. I'll meet you by the main blossom tree. Is that okay?" Kaede asked, her head tilted upwards as she stared at Dahyun's eyes.
Dahyun nodded, taking a step backwards from the wall, "Yeah. I'll see you then."
As Dahyun was about to open the door to leave, she looked back, raising her voice slightly, "Oh, uh, is it alright if we speak comfortably?"
Kaede looked a little surprised, but she nodded her head anyways. "Um, yeah, sure," She replied, a light blush coating her cheeks, "Dahyun... Unnie."
Dahyun gave her a sweet smile as she opened the door, "I'll see you on friday, Kaede."
