Trouble

Seulgi has a secret.

A secret so deep that not even her close friend- Jisoo knew about it despite treating her like her own family. She wanted for it to stay that way as long as she could.

Seulgi eyed the person infront of her who was slightly panting from the work she exerted. A small sheen of sweat covered her exposed face, neck, arms and abdomen. The crop top fell below her sports bra, exposing the tone stomach and abs, moving up and down while the woman took deep gulps of breath.

The person infront of her was sexy, alluring and mysterious. Her half-lidded eyes were also studying her, looking at her as if she was a a specimen to be studied. A stranger in her eyes.

But they were far from being one. She knew the woman infront of her too well. At the same time she doesn't.

She was just dancing when she appeared infront her. She was fierce, sexy and confident. A smirk was playing on her lips while moving to the rhythm of the song.

It was weird because Seulgi knows her. In fact she sees her everyday when she goes to the bathroom to wash her face and stare at her self for a long time. Her reflection looks back at her with the same monolid eyes but it was different when she's dancing.

Once she closes her eyes as the first beat or sound comes through the speakers, she becomes different. Every quirks and traits that normal Seulgi wasn't became who she is while moving to the beat.

The moment the first note resonates inside the room, it's euphoria. And she basks in its full glory. She becomes momentarily happy of who she was and what she could offer, forgetting that awkward and boring Seulgi outside these walls.

It may be shortlived and fleeting but gods, she cherish those moments with her heart. She tucks them deep and holds them close. That when she's sad and lost, she knew there'll be a place safe for her to return where she's free to express who she was and what she's feeling.

That sensation of being free and fierce may be limited for her but it makes her giddy and grin like a child who got praised for being good the first time.

Dancing makes her happy and free. And that's all what matters to her. That momentary happiness.

Seulgi closed her eyes for a moment and breathed deep. When her chest started to hurt, she exhaled through her mouth and smiled at the feeling of contentment coursing through her.

She just took some steam off inside the dance studio before returning to the plain and awkward Seulgi outside this room.

She averted her gaze from her reflection and went to the side, picking up her water bottle and gulping the cold liquid, soothing her parched lips and dry throat. She was still slightly panting from the moves she did. Her routine for today was more complex in order for her to remove her thoughts that's been gnawing on her and nerves.

She discarded the crop top and jogger pants and stuffing them inside her bag rather clumsily while changing back to her usual clothes. Seulgi with her baggy clothes and denim pants with her converse sneakers. Her usual get up when going to school or everywhere she goes.

She looked at her reflection again. Seulgi saw no trace of the fierce woman awhile ago nor her sexy attitude.

Just as she appeared when the music started, she vanished when the music stopped.

She sadly smiled while staring at herself.

The quiet one.

The shy one.

The boring one.

The wallflower.

Seulgi Kang, a fourth year architecture major with no special traits that would make her stand out and or wasn't pretty to be noticed.
