Classmates | Chanyeol x Nayeon

Tenerife Sea • Special

You look so wonderful in your dress
I love your hair like that

This is the first time I get to look at her closely, 2 years since we've been classmates, we aren't really that close but we often talk, she's a bit shy but she's talkative to her close friends. I was lost in my own thoughts and obviously she noticed it so she gaped at me, her small hands still at my shoulders.

"Chanyeol? There's a new step"

"Ah sorry"

"It's okay I'll show you" Nayeon said smiling, she takes my hand, pulls it so my arm is against her stomach, it's like I'm hugging her.

"Then" She puts my hand on her waist while she holds my the other hand, "Let's practice from the start."

After practicing we went back to our classroom, her hair naturally falls to the side of her neck, and her smile became infectious suddenly. I noticed something was different, I can't quite figure that out but somehow it felt like something has really changed, and since that moment my eyes keep following her wherever she goes.

The way it falls on the side of your neck
Down your shoulders and back

Practice went for weeks, today we'll be practicing at the hotel, on the way to the venue, I made her sit beside me and hand her the other half of my earphones, we enjoyed listening to the songs. While practicing we laugh and laugh because of our mistakes, she's not a good dancer and she admits it so I just guide her, pulling and pushing her gently. She took off her high heels because she's having difficulty walking and dancing.

"Nayeon you're so small"

She laughs, "Yah, you giant why so arrogant?"

And our silly conversation just teasing each other went on and on until the instructor reprimanded us.

"Stop chattering and go back to practice" The instructor said looking at us.

This is the part where we will form a circle and carry our partners, she sits on my linked arm with the other arm of Wonwoo, then she jumps, I thought she'll fall on the ground but I catched her.

"That step is so hard." Nayeon said flustered.

"Everything that is hard, and everything that you put a big effort on is beautiful and precious."

"Is that your way of telling me to just keep on practicing because it'll be worth it?" She asked

I just ruffled her hair, "It's up to you how you will take what I've said."

Nayeon just glared at me playfully.

This is the first time I got a closer look of her, the first time I watch her laugh, smile, the first time we got a chance to talk longer that we have ever imagined, exchanging jokes and everything, she makes me laugh and makes my heart do a somersault whenever she gives me a grin. This feeling is so new to me.

We are surrounded by all of these lies and people that talk too much
You got the kind of look in your eyes as if no one knows anything but us

Prom came and I was so ready to confess, at first she tried to dance with me but I refused because I was so nervous, and I'm looking for the right time to confess, but she is now dancing with the high school playboy, Sehun, luckily the Lord above must have heard my prayers and the song stopped and he returned her to the table. I quickly get to her, I don't want to lose this chance. She looks at me, and I froze.

"Can we dance Nayeon?"

She laughs, "Of course Chanyeol"

She stands up and I took her hand, and helped her get to the dance floor, why am I being so awkward? We dance and dance and laugh at the people around us.
