she stared at me with those brown eyes, jumping to the music like a little kid. chaeyeon dragged me to the school dance which i didn't want to go to in the first place. chaeyeon grinned at me,
"c'mon, y/n, dance with me." my heart thumped. chaeyeon and i were childhood friends and i grew a crush on the girl.
"uh, i don't know, chae." i say, scratching my head awkwardly.
there was people around us who were pushing up against each other and dancing like there was no tomorrow. man, i'm probably so out of place. i felt a hand grab mine and before i knew it, i was in the middle of the dance floor. did she just drag me here?
"y/n, i didn't drag you here to stand around awkwardly. c'mon, dance with me." chaeyeon, as the stubborn girl she is, says. she will literally not drop this. i opened my mouth slightly to say something, but i noticed she was still holding my hand.
"u-um, your hand.." i pointed out. chaeyeon's eyes widened and let go immediantly before blushing mad red. i chuckle, my face slowly heating up as well.
"y/n.. please.. dance with me.." chaeyeon begged as i release a sigh. chaeyeon starts dancing in front of me, twirling and jumping around. god, why does she have to be so cute?
"f-fine." i give in and i awkwardly start dancing, flailing my arms around as if i was some sort of octopus. chaeyeon makes it look so easy!
chaeyeon smiles and claps wildly as she dances along with me. she and i face each other, dancing crazily. i knew we were getting looks from other people but we coud care less.
both of our gazes were fixed on each other, neither of us wanting to look away as we sway in sync. we danced in silence, not breaking eye contact. after three grueling minutes of the silence, chaeyeon pursed her lips to say something,
"y/n, I really like you." She blurted out, my eyes widening as soon as i heard those words. what did I just hear?
"w-what?" i asked, shocked. i stopped dancing and chaeyeon was walking towards me.
"i really like you." chaeyeon says it again, but a bit slower. our faces were inches away, i stared at everything, from her eyes to her nose. soon, my eyes landed on her lips and i knew chaeyeon was staring at mine. we slowly leaned in and everything around us seemed to disappear. the music that was playing drown out and all i could see was her.
our lips intertwine and it felt like fireworks were blowing all around us. chaeyeon snakes her arms around my neck as i place my hands on her hips. we kissed until we ran out of breathe and forced to pull away.
"me too." i spoke, my voice being hoarsed. chaeyeon grinned, turning red.
"hey, chae." I say, catching her attention.
"hm?"
"dance with me." i smile, offering my hand for her to take which she gladly accepts. chaeyeon and i dance to the music, excitement running through our bones.
this is probably my best night ever- no, a life changing event i had gotten to experience.

"ugh.." i groan, slamming my hand on the loud alarm that had woken up my slumber. my eyes adjusting to the light.
"man, i just had the best dream ever.. and this stupid thing interrupted it." i groan, bummed out it ended.
"yah! its always dreams with you. you got school now get up." my sister, y/sn (your sister name), says.
"hey! i told you to knock before entering!"
...
"dude, the school dance is coming up, who are you going to ask out?" my best friend, y/bfn (your bestfriend name), asks me as we walk to class.
"well, you know who i'd love to ask out, but she's way out of my league and i cant dance to even save my life." i say. lee chaeyeon has been my crush since elementary and we knew each others' presence but we never really talk much. i doubt she even remembers me from elementary and im a senior and shes only a junior.
"-and i even had this awesome dream about her last night about the school dance too, but i guess that dream is all i have of the school dance." i rant. y/bfn sighs,
"just try asking her out. you'll regret it in the future." they say, but i honestly didnt know what to do.
then the night i dreaded to come, came. and here i was, dragged along by y/bfn to go, even my whole family kicked me out of my house to get some "social interaction"- whatever that was.
everyone wore formal attire and all looked handsome and beautiful. and i spent all the money i saved to buy a new game to rent this suit because y/bfn forced me too. its like as if ill ask my long term crush to dance, which never happened. ive been sitting down in our groups' table which wasn't too far from chaeyeon's.
chaeyeon looked like a goddess in that red-laced dress she wore. and she was busy dancing with every boy that asked her to dance. which were a lot, the second she sat down, another boy would ask her to dance and she was too nice to turn his request down.
"y/n, stop sulking around and enjoy the night." y/bfn says.
"i didnt want to come tonight, you know that.." i sigh.
"i know, but- holy shit, chaeyeon is walking towards our table." y/bfn says, clearly surprised but i didnt fell for it. it was probably some excuse to get my mood to lift up a little.
"im not falling for it." i mumble, my eyes still fixated on the food i was playing with.
"im serious, look up!" y/bfn exclaimed, stabbing the side of my stomach with his elbow, making me groan in pain, and so i did what he said and my eyes met chaeyeon's, greeting me with a warm smile.
"hi, sunbaenim.." she started off, shyly.
"do you mind if.. if you dance with me?" she asked, her hands fiddling.
"uh..." i spoke, surprised as my heart started to pump faster and my hands dripping with sweat.
"i cant dance-" i yelp as a sting of pain came from my foot, which i knew y/bfn stomped on.
"yes! i mean yes! yes.. ill dance with you." i stood up from the table and walked chaeyeon to the dance floor.
"im not the best at dancing so im sorry in advance if i step on your foot." i say, as i put on of my hands on her waist.
"aha, its okay." chaeyeon giggled, placing her hands on my neck. i swear her laugh is music to my ears. the two of us started to sway to the music, staring into each others eyes. this felt like deja vu.
"sunbaenim.." chaeyeon says, catching my attention.
"hm?" i respond.
"um.. i like you.. a lot.. ever since elementary."
she. likes. me. and. remembers. me. from. elementary.

"what?" i asked, my movements stopped. chaeyeon eyes widened,
"ah, sunbaenim, sorry if that was out of line, um.. its okay if you dont-"
"no no! i do.. i like you a lot too. its just.. surprising that you like me too." i say. chaeyeon blushed and smiled, as we continued to dance.
then it clicked, my dream actually came true.
