Chapter 5: Waiting for the Perfect Moment

*TAEHYUNG's POV*

"Honey. Aren't you going to the prom? It's already 7:37 in the evening." Mom said as I was stirring my cold soup.

"Nah. What's the use? No partner, no prom." I said.

"Very well then." She said, snorting.

A complete silence sorrounded our little wooden house.

*~~*

I have finally made up my mind.

I will confess to her no matter what.

And I have made my decision that it will be after the prom.

So I waited...

And waited...

And waited...

Why does the time become more slower when you're waiting for it to pass?

I looked at our old wall clock. It's 10:45 already? But when I looked at its little arms, they weren't moving.

I looked my wristwatch, it's just 8:56.

Our old clock really needs some fixing.

Tiring day I had.

Maybe I should get some rest first.

*~~*

*NAEUN's POV*

Exept for us, everyone's so drunk, specially Haha.

"Whoohoo!!! Chong majeun gotcheoreom! Bang bang bang!" She said, making a gun with her fingers.

I'm getting anxious.

"You look worried my dear. What's the problem? Aren't you having a great time?" Asked the man dancing me.

I looked at him. He looked like the dream guy of every girl.

I thought I was happy.

But something's missing.

What is it? I really can't tell.

I really can't enjoy this prom right now.

"Please excuse me. I-I have to go to the restroom." I said excusing myself and ran quickly towards the restroom and away from him.

I went in.

Locked the door.

And looked at the mirror.

"What's missing? It feels like something's not right. Something has changed." I said to myself.

"Naeun? Naeun, are you okay in there?" He worryingly asked.

I didn't answer.

I looked at my watch.

"It's already 11:00. The prom should be done by now."

I went out of the restroom, finding him waiting for me.

"This is the last song you guys. After this, we're gonna choose the King and Queen of Hearts of the night." The DJ announced.

"May I have this last dance?" He said as he offered his hand to me.

*TAEHYUNG's POV*

I looked at my watch, seeing the numbers '11:00'.

It's time.

I took out my best and only formal suit.
