Dancing With A Stranger 《JHS》✓

10 Dancing On My Own

Days passed. The suffocating nights without him passed. Weeks passed. Months passed and I finally gather myself once again. I'm not sure how long it has been but I came back to this place again, the place where I first met him, as a stranger.

Yeah, Jung Hoseok.

He completely turns back to a stranger to me again. After that night, he disappears like the cold wind. Left me all cold and lonely but as the time passed, I gained the warmth back. I don't know what got into me tonight but I feel like drinking and dancing again like I used to -like we used to- and this place is still the best choice.

Yoongi and Chaewon are still dating. I still catch the glimpse of them in social media which makes me sometime wondering about Hoseok. How is he doing now? Is he doing fine?

Another time, I regret for leaving him dramatically that night. I could've talk about it better and if both of us have to go on our own way, we could've remain as good friend. Who know our path might cross once again? But now, it's all impossible for us. Even if we bump into each other again, it will be just too awkward and I'm not ready.

Yeah, even after all this time collecting myself, I ain't ready to meet him yet. Maybe I still love him? I'm not sure. Maybe I'm just scared about the way he would makes me feel again.

I drink away all of those crazy thoughts in the corner of the room by myself. I feel much better at the taste of alcohol hitting my taste buds. It's been awhile. It's all feel good until I catch a glimpse of familiar figure on the dance floor. The way he moves, the way he smile, it's still the same.

I almost choke on my drink before I put it down and pay attention to them. Slowly, his dance partner detached herself from him and heading to somewhere else while flashing him a seductive smile. He just gave her a slight nod before walk closer to the bar, close to where I was. He asked for a drink and I bite my lips, deciding if I should do it or not.

Before I know, I gulped down my drink and approach him like a warrior.

"Did she dump you or something?" I asked sarcastically, slow but loud enough for him who sat right beside me.

"J-Jiwoo?" He was surprised at my figure, I guess. Yeah, after that incident. I locked myself and distance myself from anyone. I barely going out and maybe he notices that. "Y-You're here? It's been awhile since I saw you." I can tell he was still recovering from my sudden appearance, maybe he never expects that I'll come back here and even more, approach him first.

"Yeah, somebody said you got a new friend. Does she love you better than I can?" maybe it's the alcohol I took but I don't know where I gained that confident from.

"Huh? She's just a friend." He tried to laugh it off and avoid my eyes but why did I notice something different?

"Still a bad liar, huh? I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her. I'm right over here, why can't you see me?" I asked and he turned to me as soon as I asked the last question. His eyes were searching something in mine. Somehow, I miss drowning in those pair of eyes.

"Because I'm still a bad liar for you, Jiwoo and I still don't deserve you." still, the same Hoseok who dumped me.

"Guess I'm still gonna dancing on my own for tonight."

Maybe he's right all this time, we just don't mean for each other.

Maybe not this time.

Maybe we just have to dance on our own for now.

Right?

The End

P.S Finally come to the ending scene. I'm sorry if it's not enough >o< this is another short story for Jung Hoseok and I got the ideas from the thought of how "Dancing With A Stranger" and "Dancing On My Own" have the same first word. In the middle of the process, I found out that DOMO wasn't originally by Calum Scott but it was by Robyn. So I watch the Music Video that inspiring this last chapter.
To be very honest, Dancing On My Own was supposed to be the second book but I changed my mind because I'm not sure if I could write it yet. For now, I hope you enjoy this! Don't forget to vote and drop some comments that will help me improve! Love yall, stay safe, stay at home!💜
