Opposites attract, they said. [SeKai]

Three

Sehun was casually walking towards the cafeteria when a heavy arm was suddenly draped over his shoulders. Looking to his side, he saw Jongin grinning at him.

"Hi!"

Sehun stared at him in disbelief.

"Hey, what do you think about skipping book club today and sitting with us during lunch?"

Sehun furrowed his eyebrows, "Book club?"

"Yeah whatever you guys do during lunch." Jongin rolled his eyes, "Come on!"

He didn't even wait for a reply and began leading Sehun to the cafeteria. The latter, however, was way too shocked and weirded out to even react. He could feel everyone's eyes on them since Jongin was basically the most popular guy in school and Sehun was always known for being a loner. Before he knew it, they were at the booth where all of Jongin's friends sat (who were all gaping at Jongin when they saw the two).

"You guys remember Sehun, right?" Jongin said.

"Uh, the guy you beat the shit out of a few weeks ago?" Baekhyun stated blankly, making Jongin shoot him glare.

"Well I guess you could say we sorted out our differences and I thought I'd invite him over to our lunch table."

"No we didn't," Sehun muttered, more to himself but loud enough for Jongin to hear. The latter simply ignored him and pushed him down to take a seat before sitting next to him.

Cue awkward silence.

Sehun looked over to his booth and saw Luhan sitting there as usual, and right now he wanted nothing more than to go sit there.

"Your arm's heavy." Sehun said through gritted teeth and Jongin quickly retracted it, muttering a tiny "sorry".

"Well this was lovely. Can I go now?" The blonde said sarcastically, standing up from his seat. The rest of the guys just looked around awkwardly.

"Of course!" Jongin stood up too, "Let's go get some food." He began pulling him towards the canteen but by then Sehun's had enough. He pulled his arm away from Jongin's grasp and the latter stopped and turned around to face the glaring boy.

"I know why you're doing this. I already told you I'm not gonna be your stupid dance partner, so quit the act."

Jongin slightly widened his eyes, wondering how the hell Sehun figured it out. Looks like he's not the first in their grade for no reason.

He sighed frustratedly, "Why not?!"

"I have my reasons. And if you think this whole 'nice guy' act is gonna cut it, let me just tell you now that it's not gonna work. So don't bother yourself anymore. Just go find another partner and don't waste your time on me."

"Then it'll just end up like every other time! I'll work my ass off day and night and in the end..." Jongin looked at Sehun in the eyes, "I'll just end up second place."

"Winning is not everything you know? And what makes you think it will be any different if you partner with me?"

"Because you dance like you were born to do it."

This took Sehun slightly by surprise.

"Dancing is not just about showing people a bunch of cool moves. It's more than that. It's about telling people a story. It's about making people feel something through your dancing. We work day and night to try and achieve that but you, Sehun, you did that so naturally and effortlessly that night that I'm almost fucking jealous of you."

Sehun was speechless. He didn't expect words like these to come out of Jongin's mouth. In that moment he sounded so mature, like dance was something he was truly passionate about, like it meant the world to him.
