···At that moment, the whole world just simply freezed. As much as scientists deny the existence of such insane phenomenon, I swear I could prove them wrong. I couldn't even feel my heart beating. I wondered if I was still alive. My whole body became completely numb, from head to toe.
The small movement of his slightly chapped lips against mine, brought my dazed mind back down on earth···

~earlier that day~

"Jump at two and land with your left foot, leaving your right foot bent in mid air, which you will then stretch out and land like this" Jimin was explaining while demonstrating the rest of the choreography that we shared. My long desired contemporary dance "class" had finally begun. Even so, I was too absent minded to even show any sign understanding or give any other sort of reaction to him.

"Ayyysh enough for today" he huffed.
"All your little brain can think of right now is your boyfriend and the lovely time you're gonna have together on your date today" Jimin passed by me and started packing his water bottle and his unused towel in in his brand new black puma backpack. He looked grumpy and upset.

"Stop with the boyfriend thing!" I got irritated.
Me and Jungkook had been getting closer for the past couple of weeks and we decided that it would be a nice idea to hangout sometime out of the studio, to get to know eachother better.
"And it's not a date" I repeated myself for the hundredth time since I told Jimin about it.

"Fine,fine" he rolled his eyes sarcastically and placed one strap over his right shoulder.

Why was he acting like that? Even if it was an actual date, why would it bother him? Jungkook was really nice and he looked capable of taking good care of me. I wouldn't mind actually dating him. It would be a good chance for me to try and throw my unrequited love away, getting rid of the feeling of guilt which felt like a parasite stuck on me everyday.
Although I tried dating a couple of other guys before, in an attempt to fall in love with someone different, they weren't able to change my heart.
Jungkook, on the other hand, had something special in his eyes that made mine sparkle.

"Let's go home so you can get ready for your date" Jimin said leaving the room.

Letting out a sigh of exasperation,I followed my brother out of the practice room, down the wide hallway, which leaded to many other rooms occupied by dancers and we finally exited the big building,entering the parking lot.

"Jimiiiiiiin oh my gosh thank god you're here!Aaa perfect! Hailey is here as well" a familiar voice almost screamed behind us, Hoseok I assumed. Hoseok was the owner of the studio and he managed it with Jimin since they were good friends. They taught classes and made choreographies, entering various of competitions and having many victories. It was promised to me that I'd work there once I got my dance degree and I really couldn't wait.

Jimin and I turned around to find Hoseok oppa carrying a petite figure that was resting its head on his shoulder. It was his niece, Yoona which we occasionally took care of when there was no one to do so,since her parents were really busy.

"Can you take care of little Yoona for a few hours?" he pleaded us getting straight to the point.

"Hyung...i don't know..." Jimin sounded tired.

"My sister left her in my care because she had an important fashion show to attend to. Despite telling her that I was busy as well, she still instisted! I'd take her to class with me but she seems sick. I know that Saturday is your day off but please guys,take care of her until I finish work" he said desperately.

"Fine" Jimin agreed. "But you owe me big time"

"Thanks bro" he followed us to Jimin's old navy blue car, and gently put the five year old on the back seat, avoiding waking her up.

"I'll be there in ten"

I finished applying a thin layer of mascara and looked at my full reflection in the mirror. I looked a little bit too girly for my own taste, but I wanted to impress Jungkook. I wore a short pleated black skirt, with a silky baby pink blouse that matched with my same coloured short heels. Finishing my look with some simple accessories and a small hairclip to hold my straight black hair away from my face, I went to the living room to ask my brother if I looked ok.

"How do I look?" I asked walking in.
His eyes averted away from the video game that he was playing with Yoona and they widened in surprise.

"Woaaahhh unnie you look amazing!" the little girl jolted up and came to hug me.

"Thank you my little baby" I brushed her hazel strands away from her small face and clipped them back with my hairclip, deciding that she needed it more than I did. As I did that, I could feel her fever rising and looked at Jimin worried. He was still carefully scanning each part of my body, as if he was going to eat me up.

"Jimin"

His gaze shot back at mine making me feel uncomfortable as he looked emotionless, or maybe crossed, I couldn't quite tell.

"Are you sure you're going to be ok with Yoona? She's getting worse" I let the little girl go since she said that she needed to use the rest room.

"Yeah" he answered back harshly. "Since when do you own such short skirts?"

"Since when do you care?" My blood started boiling with his attitude. An attitude that I never came across with.

"Since I didn't want my baby sister's ass to be visible to the public" he got up from the sofa and came closer to me, placing his hand just above my bum and pulling me closer to him, leaving no space between our bodies. Our eyes were almost at the same level, since I was wearing heels and his warm breath could just reach my upper lip. My eyes dropped down to his pinkish lips while his fell onto mine and we both looked back into eachothers eyes in sync. Do I really need to explain how my stomach made a hundred back flips when his tongue glided across his perfect lips? The lips that I always envied and wanted to have as mine? He brought his free hand up to cup my face and lifted my chin up.
