Dance With Me - Hyun-Ah & Yunho

--
"Their gazes met and locked, sweeping her out of reality on a tidal wave of emotion, like always." Was that the only way to describe the feeling I get when I see him? --I ignored that feeling, for 3 months. This was a dance competition; and I know what I came here for.-I sat down on the chair and was surrounded by mirrors; I was in a dancing studio.Listening to my iPod, I started humming to the beat. I watched him dance, his feet merely jumping on the floor and yet he was one with the music.Another one joined in, a girl, older than me by a year, started jumping in the air with her toes pointed toward the ground.The whole song was free-style; I stood up and danced to my iPod, not caring whether it matched the music anyone else was dancing to.
I looked into the mirror the whole time. For the reflection of myself was who I really was. A dancer. A performer.

The list of semi-finalists was very short; only three people: me, Jung Yunho, and Jessica Jung. Don't think that Jessica and Yunho are related, because that would not be allowed in the contest; it'd be against the rules.
"Kim Hyun-Ah! Jung Yunho! Jessica Jung!", a harsh tone came into the music, not matching the beat at all, throwing all things out of perfections. A man in a suit and tie stood at the door way of the dance studio. "Congratulations, semi-finalists. You've made it this far, let's see how far you will really go tomorrow! One dancer will be going home and two will head toward the Dance Championships!"
Just the idea of going home, gave me an empty and dark feeling in the area of my heart; my soul. Disappointed at myself already, I had a low self-esteem toward the quality of my dancing. Others knew the strengths of my dancing, I only knew that it made me happy.
I smiled as Yunho and Jessica cheered at the news. I want it so bad, I want the championship, I want to win.
"Well have a good week making up your routines for your own dances everyone! I will see you next week!", the man said, waved good-bye, and left.
Yunho kept a happy smile on and said, "Well good luck everyone! I will be sleeping early tonight! Bye bye!"
Jessica grabbed her work-out bag and also pitched it, "I will be leaving too! See you tomorrow Hyun-Ah!"
We all leave in the same place, the place the Dance Competition gave us, that way we would not cheat our dance routines. There were three rooms in this order: Jessica's room, my room, and then Yunho's room.
I gave a weak wave good bye. They left and I blared up my songs from my iPod to the stereo as loud as I could. I danced. I breathed, yet I was breathless.
Then.. a song came up. The song that started it all; the dancings, the passion, and the singing. I put the stereo on surrond sound, even though my ears hurt just to get near the stereo. Each movement, was a strike of air. The dance routine I made for this song, each motion was different, it had the feeling I loved. It was a private session with my and my heart. Sweat beads were collecting on my forehead, my chest, my whole body. The salty taste fell through my face, but I didn't care.; for no one was looking.
God, I was so excited, afraid that my heart would beat right out of my chest.
I turned around for my water bottle, instead I saw Yunho staring at me. I gasped at the sight of him.
My eyes widened in amazement of his face. It was something different, something I had never seen before.
*His face was more mature, more shuttered than ever before, and it was... impossibly handsome. His dark eyes that seemed to hold all the mysteries in the universe; the features of his face seemed to be carved from stone.
My body tightened up at the sight of him. He moved forward as I stepped backwards. I grabbed my towel and wiped my face, my arms. The music was still playing... but I didn't hear the loud blaring music....
"Your dance...", he whispered silently.
I grabbed my workout bag and walked out. With a swift movement, Yunho's hand was wrapped around my arm.
"**I just want to let you know.... I've been fighting to let you go. Some days I make it through and then there's nights that never end.", Yunho continued to say.
I turned my head , our gazes met and locked, my heart stopped fighting the power to ignore, and started beating harder than ever.
Whether I was breathing or not, my eyes searched in his eyes. I stayed silent. His grip on my arm, was locked onto it but gentle.
"Hyun-Ah, I remember, looking at you from when we first met, you gave me a smile I could never forget."
His gripped slipped into my hand, he leaned forward...and kissed me on the lips. I closed my eyes, just for a seconds or was it more than that...
He breathed in my mouth, his essence surrounded me. The deep warth wrapped around my body, my mind lost in a sea of hope.
It felt so right, but it felt so wrong.
I backed away. He stood there looking confused.
"Yunho... No... I'm not here to fall in love."
He smiled at me, although I was confused. Weren't men suppose to be disappointed when he gets rejected?
"Hyun-Ah, Dance With Me. Just this night. and maybe, if we were meant to be, fate will bring us together."
He gripped onto my hand as a slow song played.
My arms around his neck, and his arms around my waist.
His physical touch my heart endured; a shock that electrified me back to life.
We danced, as I remember, always and forever, that if we were meant to be, fate would bring us together.
