私はあなたを渇望するhe had been working at the bar for three weeks. after each performance, people would gather around him and ask for his information. he gladly handed out his business card.
tonight was just like any other night. the crowd swayed along to his beats. some already knew the words to his songs.
he was in the middle of singing when a bob of short brown hair caught his attention.
his eyes never left her. she was seated at the bar, drinking what looked like a martini.
she would occasionally look up at the stage, but she would immediately look away.
if only he could reach out to her. he was halfway through his setlist. suddenly he had an idea.
he took the microphone and dismounted the stage. he walked through the crowded dance floor. everyone had their eyes in him.
as he made his way to the bar, the people moved out of the way, clearing the way.
the path led straight to her.
she turned her head and met his gaze. as soon as their eyes connected, everything moved in slow motion.
the music drowned in the background. he knew he was still singing, but he heard nothing.
her stare pulled him in.
before he knew it, he was standing in front of the girl of his dreams.
literally.
she looked up at him, a small blush crawling up to her cheeks.
his heart fluttered.
suddenly, all noise returned, and everything moved at regular speed.
microphone still in hand, he offered his arm and she took it. they walked to the center of the dance floor.
she stood there, admiring him as his enchanting voice sang to her.
he knew the song was coming to an end, so he slowly moved towards her.
he sang the last note.
he was standing directly in front of her. he towered over her.
he didnt care if his setlist wasnt done. he was willing to grab her hand and run away with her.
he grabbed her hand.
"so we meet again."
she smiled.
"need me to light your stick again?"
his deep chuckle resonated in her ears.
"i never got your name."
"ryu suji."
"nice to meet you ryu suji, my name is kwon hyuk."
'kwon hyuk'
she liked the way his name rolled off her tongue.
she had finally learned his name.
the man at appeared in her dreams every night for a month.
'i finally met you kwon hyuk.'
