club ; 01

Neon lights, loud music, weird scent and drunk people dancing the night away filled in the club - what else would be in a club other than these? Her boyfriend invited her to a club in a hotel she stayed in.

She hated clubs. She really did, but she tried to like going there after that one night - that night when she got her first confession.

It was a typical cliché confession that anyone can see from those films and normal people as well, it was an overused method of confessing but she liked it even though she got tired of watching it but experiencing it? Different.

That night was no joke, a memorable night she has ever experienced. And that's why she started liking the club, because she would get reminded of him.

The spotlight shone to her way and there, kneeled a man holding a bouquet of aromatic flowers, "Kwon Nayoung, I don't have much to say but.. do you want to be in here?" he confessed, pointing to his heart.

She could hear the crowd shouting 'Date him!' She almost accepted him.

But her mind was somewhere else before she was going to say that. Someone from the crowd caught her sparkling eyes, even when he was afar, how could she still see him shining?

It was her guy best friend from her university. When she eyed his familiar eyes, all she could think was he was rooting for her, and finally delighted as she has found someone who could be her significant other.

Before she said yes, she thought of rejecting this guy to wait for her guy best friend; to be with him instead. But could it be possible? She knew she wouldn't be accepted. Johnny and her... are way different yet, they read each other's souls... as friends but as his love? Heck no, it was disappointing but she believed Johnny only looked at her as nothing else but just a close friend.

"Take this chance." She could see Johnny mouthing from a distance.

'Okay' she thought. But doesn't it mean that she's throwing away her imagines to be with him? Why would she think of being with him? When there was never a chance.

But that was what her pessimistic thought told her.

"I-I.." she loudly stuttered, the whole crowd shut themselves off, waiting for her answer.

"I don't have much to say as well but, I'd love to be there..." She answered, and the cheers from the crowd grew to the loudest.

He placed her smooth hands to his heart. "You were already in here... ever since I met you." He sweetly whispered to her right ear, heating up her rosy cheeks.

The crowd started throwing felicitations and roses, congratulating the new lovebirds.

She smiled. But it faded, when Johnny strode to her route, eye-smiling to simply congratulate her with pure contentment.

"Take care of her," Johnny said to her current boyfriend who grasped his arms around her waist. She felt her heart flinch, to see the guy she wanted to love.

"Kwon Nayoung!" Her boyfriend snapped his fingers to stop her from spacing out. She went back, only to see her already drunk boyfriend snapping his fingers for her to wake up from a flashback. "Kwon Nayoung, you are in here." He repeated his confession.

"You're drunk, really." she said as she placed his head that was laying in her shoulder to the desk in front of them.

Didn't know you were thinking of that as well. She wanted to say, but ignored it when he was already sleeping in fantasy.
