Tapping her chin with the top of her pen, Jiyoon sat there staring blankly at her homework lying in front of her. Nothing was processing in her head and she was too busy singing (mumbling) to the songs playing on her phone instead of studying like she was supposed to. Her eyes were closed, her head propped on her hand as she stared into space thinking.

Two weeks ago, she had come back from her trip to Gyeongju only jumping back into a pit of fire that was Luhan. He had started to take photos of her when she didn't realise and a few times she had caught him taking photos when she had made a weird face. Jiyoon would try and grab his phone to delete the photos except he'd run away while quickly saving the photos online. And she had also partaken in their gaming wars at the arcade for their one month anniversary of being together.

Except she secretly found it amusing that Luhan had taken an interest in photography, though she frowned about being the subject. Jiyoon let out a sigh and dropped her arm onto the desk, laying her head on top and proceeding to roll the pen under her fingers.

Luhan looked up hearing her sigh and saw Jiyoon looking deflated. He had been humming along, occasionally singing his own lines whenever an EXO song played and now he stood up, walking towards her. He leaned his backside against the desk, placing his hands on either side of him, gripping the edge and nudged Jiyoon lightly. "Hey, what's wrong?" he asked.

Jiyoon only hummed in response, tapping her fingers on the table to the beat of the song - Destiny by Infinite. She shrugged and pouted, glancing down at the sheets on her desk and grimacing. Jiyoon just did not want to do homework, feeling too tired to think or function at all.

Slipping his phone out of his pocket, Luhan took this chance to snap a photo of Jiyoon's tired face pouting cutely. He found it entertaining to see her so fed up with homework, preferring to listen to music instead. He patted her head, messing up her hair slightly much to Jiyoon's dismay and pushed away from the desk. "Seeing as you've run out of energy, let's have some fun!" Luhan chuckled, pulling on the back of Jiyoon's chair.

"Urgh, how about... no," she muttered, gripping the edge of her desk to keep from being pulled away.

"Aww, come on," Luhan whined and pulled instead on her arm, bringing her to a standing position. He drew her to the middle of the room and brought her hands to his neck, interlocking her fingers at his nape.

Jiyoon let him do whatever he was doing, too worn-out to resist like she normally would. "What are you doing?" she asked with a sigh.

"We're dancing. I'm going to teach you some ballroom," he replied in a chirpy voice, giving her a mega-watt smile. She only narrowed her eyes and pursed her lips, then looked over his shoulder at her phone. "Can I at least turn off the music and find something more ballroom-like?" she asked.

Luhan just shrugged and shook his head. Her phone was still playing music and when 'Angel' began playing; he placed his hands lightly on her waist, swaying to the beat. "So... what is this? I don't think this is ballroom..." Jiyoon muttered.

"First, we'll get you used to moving to the rhythm," Luhan replied, letting go and twirling her outwards then bringing her back.

"Err... sure. But the only music I have on there is -," Jiyoon began but she was cut off when the next song began to play. She scoffed when she heard that it was an upbeat indie-rock song - Hey You by CNBLUE; Luhan raised an eyebrow and smiled mischievously. She looked up at Luhan in exasperation, "See what I mean? All the music on shuffle right now is kpop."

Luhan just smiled and dropped his hands, stepping over to her phone and pausing the music. He looked over his shoulder at her standing in the middle of the floor with her arms crossed and a slight scowl on her face. He took up his previous dance position with her and twirled her around. "Come on, loosen up a bit! How else are you supposed to dance?"

"Well, I don't dance."

"Oh hush," he laughed and pulled her around the room. He guided her and she followed easily enough since he seemed to be good at leading her. Every now and then, she would step on his toes but luckily, they were barefooted so it didn't hurt him.

For the rest of the evening and the week for that matter, he taught her how to dance ballroom even when she protested. And every morning, Jiyoon woke up with pains in her legs and back. So she decided she was going to ask him why she was even learning ballroom anyways.

It had been almost eight days since she started learning from him and just as Luhan came out of the shower with his hair still damp, Jiyoon locked her arm around his elbow and dragged him with her back to her bedroom. She pushed him to sit in the swivel chair and confronted him. "Why are you even teaching me ballroom?"

"Oooh, getting straight to the point!" Luhan said, only to be glared at by her.

"Tell me."

"Why should I?" Luhan said, teasing her.

"Because I'm about this close to busting your phone," Jiyoon said with a smirk as she held up his phone in her hands. She had tried for the past few days to unlock his phone but to no success and resolved in getting rid of it instead.

Luhan's eyebrows rose up. He ran a hand through his wet hair and flicked the water at her with a chuckle, "I'll tell you, just put down the innocent phone okay?" He said, pointing at the ground in front of him.

"Tell me first," Jiyoon said with a pout.

"Fine, I'm taking you with me to the Christmas party."

"Christmas party?" Jiyoon repeated, eyebrows drawing together.

"Yup," he replied, standing from his seat. "Now let me dry my hair, and we can continue from yesterday!" Jiyoon just groaned in reply.
