Chasing After The Wind [P.JM]

KIM YUN-SEO'S POV

오후 7시 30 분

Today felt extra special, I was ecstatic during the whole day. And now, class was finally over. Yeoji, Soo, and I had parted ways on the street I walked past, so I was now heading to the direction I often head to. The same lady greeted me at the lobby, while I could not stop reading the sign that reminded me of only one person, "Park Dance Academy."

"Is he done?" I asked the lady, and she replied with, "By now, he should be preparing to go home." I thanked her and sat back down, seeing a small swarm of students pass me by. I'm assuming they were his students. Some of them looked really familiar too. Upon getting permission from the lady, I explored the place and found his practice room. It was empty except for the rummaging sounds in the tight locker compartment on one corner. I scanned the room while making my way to Jimin who had just worn a new shirt.

"Hmm, you must earn a lot huh? Should we have children now?" I muttered, eyes still looking around the room. Jimin took a step back, startled to see me. "Too bad, I missed the show," I placed a hand on his chest, sliding it down to his abdomen.

"H-Hey, don't just enter without a word. You're not supposed to be here," He stuttered, pushing my hand away. I chuckled at his reaction and stepped closer - closer until his back hit the wall. "Why? You agreed to this. You're backing out?" My intimidating gaze was fixated on him as I spoke in more of a whispering manner. I leaned closer while staring at his lips, Jimin staying terrified.

"Jimin Hyungnim—" The main door opened, though the guy ceased talking, "I'm so sorry! Did I interrupt something?" We both turned to him, Jimin looking even more flustered. I glared at the guy who looked only a little bit younger than me. "You sure did, you son of a—" Jimin placed his hand over my mouth and said, "Let's talk over the phone later, alright? Go." He forced a smile at the astounded boy, who went off with a bow. He looked just as terrified as Jimin.

"What's up with you?" Jimin asked, finally able to step away from me. I grinned and said, "I just missed you." My response made him chuckle. I went out into the spacious practice room and told him, "Can you teach me how to dance?"

He just stared at me with a 'seriously?' face without a word. I remembered what I found from stalking him everyday. "Like this?" I performed a body roll, "You know, the sexy one you posted on your SNS?"

"Why do you even watch those..." Jimin laughed, eyes smiling shyly. He picked up his backpack and opened one of his arms out while facing my way, "Let's go?" I couldn't explain how nice it felt to see him initiate even the littlest things, knowing it's no longer so one-sided. Unable to contain my smile, I ran over to him and hugged his side, his arm wrapped around my shoulder securely.

"Hey, can I stay over at your house?" I said as we walked closely together. It was a random thought but that's what I was, I say anything in my head. "Suddenly? Are we married or something?" He replied.

"Do you want to?" I teased, causing both of us to break into laughter. It was so beautiful to see how he softened up to me and I could see through him so well, not because he was transparent, but because he was letting me see.

I think it's right
to say that it's
happiness
if you can smile
without having
to force it.
