I wasn't able to sleep due to my 7 hour nap. I tossed and turned in my bed but it only made me more awake. My digital clock showed now 1.07 am. I groaned and got up.
It's no use. I can't sleep.
I decided to have a little walk. Some fresh air would be nice, I have been indoors the whole day. I put on socks and a hoodie, grabbed my phone, earphones and my keys and went downstairs. The whole house was dark and I could hear Jackson's faint snore through his door when I walked by. It was pretty adorable.
Snap out of it, Mark!
I put on my trusty nikes and went outside. Now it's still winter but hey, it's not even that cold so I can go around in a hoodie and nikes. My hoodie is warm anyway.
I took a deep breath and plugged in my earphones. Where should I go?
I decided to go through the park and maybe dance a little. Yeah it sounded nice. I loved dancing but I was too afraid to do it at home because Jackson would hear all the noises my feet make and he would come and check. I'm not so good at dancing and the thought of Jackson seeing me dance is terrifying.
The streets were silent. Well, one or two cars drove by but whatever. The silence was calming and I loved it. Our town is quite noisy on daytime so this is super nice. I always preferred the town like this, dark and silent. I was always a bit of a night owl so I had night walks quite often.
I got to the park and looked around. No one was there. It was silent. I put on music through my earphones and started dancing.
I danced a while, but I had to stop since I started feeling hot and I couldn't really take my hoodie off because of the cool weather.
I heard clapping behind me.
I quickly turned around and saw a man there, clapping with a smile on his face.
"Wow you're really good at dancing"
I felt my cheeks burn. How embarrassing.
"Err t-thanks. Who are you?"
"I'm Park Jimin."
"Nice to meet you. My name is Mark Tuan." I stuck my hand out and he grabbed it. We shook hands and he smiled.
"So..." He started "Your dancing is really good, do you want to join my dance group? It doesn't have a name yet because we are quite new."
"Y-you want me to join? How many people are there in already?"
"Well including me there's three. So you would be the fourth. We plan on having five people. So what do you say?"
"Uhm... I don't know, maybe?"
"I'll give you my number. You don't have to join, but it'd be amazing if you would. We'll start practising next Monday so I want to know before that, okay?" He smiled. I nodded.
He wrote something on a paper and then gave it to me.
"You know it's quite strange to do this at 1 am." I chuckled.
"I know, but I just needed to have a walk." He smiled and gave the paper to me.
"Thanks." I smiled and we parted ways.
I guess this is a thing now, getting asked to join some shit at 1 am.
Well.
