"be my partner!" she exclaims, eyes sparkling underneath the dim studio lights.

my heart skips a beat and my mouth dries.

"m-me? for what?" i end up stuttering. damn it, why did i have to be so bad at socializing with girls?

"the annual dance-off! this is our last year in college, we should do it together!" my palms start to sweat, and i panic at her words and expectations.

"but i'm not a dancer," i say, words faltering into silence.

kim jisoo. a well-known, out-going contemporary dancer. we've barely talked before.

she smiles. "yes you are. i saw you." i blush, avoiding her playful gaze as it was too much for me to handle in a day.

"but i can't-"

"walk me home! it's late." she gestures at the clock; 7 o'clock, it says. i remain, confused and in shock at her sudden words.

she looks at me with pleading puppy eyes, and i sigh. i look at her for a few good seconds before nodding. her lips curve into a sweet, delighted smile.

"i'll wait for you downstairs!" she hurries away like a little kid, excitement evident in her small yet quick footsteps.

i blink before proceeding to fix my things. random thoughts enter my mind.

what am i getting myself into?
