Chapter Text

It’s december 22nd, also known as the day of the Christmas party.
 
Everybody at school is talking about it, and you can’t walk anywhere in school without seeing the posters that the party committee hung up. It honestly makes Dahyun even more nervous when she’s in the cafeteria with her best friend, Chaeyoung . “I still can’t believe I’m going to the Christmas party with Minatozaki Sana”.

Chaeyoung scoffs. “It only took you like 2 years to finally ask her”. Dahyun laughs, and jokingly pushes her friend. Chaeyoung grins. “I’m proud of you though, and I hope you have lots of fun with her. She seems nice”. Dahyun nods. “She is more than just nice. She is incredibly caring, and a great friend”. Chaeyoung laughingly shakes her head. “Whatever”. She grabs her water bottle and takes a sip.
 
Dahyun smirks. “So..”, she starts. “Did you ask Mina out?”. Chaeyoung chokes on her water and coughs. Dahyun pats on her back while Chaeyoung tries to catch her breath. “I-I didn’t”. Dahyun pouts. “Why not? You two would be amazing together”. Chaeyoung blushes and hides her face from Dahyun. She doesn’t want to show that her best friend’s comment affected her. Mostly because there’s something she never told Dahyun.

She has been crushing on Mina for years already. And she never stopped loving the black haired girl.

Dahyun laughs when she sees Chaeyoung’s reaction. “Oh my god, is our tomboy Son Chaeyoung in love with Myoui Mina?” She asks teasingly while wiggling her eyebrows . Chaeyoung laughs nervously and hides her face with her hands again. Dahyun grabs her wrists and starts pulling at them.

“Alright alright! Will you stop if I confess?”. Dahyun lets go of her wrists and nods with a satisfied grin. Chaeyoung takes a deep breath. “Okay, I might have a small crush on Mina... for a few years already”. Dahyun stares at her with wide eyes. “And you never told me?”. Chaeyoung looks at her lap and shakes her head. It stays quite for a few seconds. Dahyun is obviously mad and offended because she kept this secret from her. Especially because Dahyun is so open to everybody about her crush on Sana. But Dahyun actually does the exact opposite and gives Chaeyoung a big hug. “I knew it”, she whispers.

dahyun > sana
december 22nd, 7:29 pm

dahyun: hi sana !!

dahyun: i’m omw to the party rn

dahyun: should i wait for you outside ??

sana: yeah sure !! i’m almost done with my makeup

sana: not to be that kind of girl but i look good

dahyun: i’m sure you do ;)

sana: ;)

—

It’s 7:41 pm when Dahyun and Sana meet in front of their school, and you can say that time seemed to stop for a few minutes.

Sana is wearing a crop top with a black skirt and fishnet tights. Dahyun thinks she looks hot. “Hi Dahyun!!”. Sana gives Dahyun a hug, and Dahyun feels like she’s going to faint soon. “H-Hi Sana”, she says shakily. Sana pulls away and inspects Dahyun’s outfit, but she doesn’t say anything. She just smiles.

Dahyun’s outfit is not as hot as Sana’s, and Dahyun curses at herself for not picking a better outfit. But those thoughts disappear when Sana finally speaks again. “I like your dress! You look adorable!”. Dahyun blushes and looks at her feet. “Thank you”, she mumbles. Sana laughs and grabs her hand. “Let’s go inside, I’m freezing!”.

—

Chaeyoung arrives at the party at 8:13 pm, but she immediately wants to leave again when she sees how crowded it is inside. “But let’s be honest, what else did you expect?”, Chaeyoung thinks. She takes a deep breathe and enters the school.

Go back. This place isn’t safe.

Chaeyoung shakes her head. She isn’t going to give in. She promised her friends that she would come, and Son Chaeyoung never breaks her promises.

Let’s go for a drink first.

Chaeyoung walks to the stand where you can order drinks, and orders a coke. She takes a sip, but chokes when she hears a familiar voice behind her. “Hi Chaeyoung!”. Chaeyoung coughs and turns around to face the girl.

Myoui Mina.

“Oh my god, I’m so sorry!”, she says with a shocked expression while she pats on Chaeyoung’s back. “I-It’s alright! I’m fine!””, Chaeyoung chokes out. Mina doesn’t believe her though, so she keeps patting the smaller girl’s back. “I didn’t mean to scare you like that! I just wanted to say hello..”.

Chaeyoung stops coughing after a few seconds and looks at the girl in front of her. “It’s okay, don’t feel guilty! I’m glad you came to say hello”, Chaeyoung says and she smiles at her crush. Mina smiles back. “Would you like to dance?”, she asks nervously.

Chaeyoung nods. She grabs Mina’s hand and drags her to the dance floor. Can this evening get any better?

Yes, yes it can.

The upbeat music changes to a slow tune. Mina wraps her arms around Chaeyoung’s neck, but Chaeyoung doesn’t move an inch. Mina notices it and giggles. “Have you never slow danced before?”. Chaeyoung shakes her head. She has never come this far with someone.

“It’s okay, you don’t have to be embarrassed! I only know how to slow dance because of my friends, who do it all the time. Let me guide you”. Mina grabs Chaeyoung’s arms and wraps them around her own waist. Then she wraps her own arms around Chaeyoung’s neck. They slowly start moving to the song, and Chaeyoung has never blushed this hard.

I wonder how Dahyun’s doing.

—

Dahyun starts feeling nervous when the current upbeat song changes to a slow song. Sana feels the sudden mood change, and hesitates. She’s normally very straightforward, and she’s used to dating people who’re straightforward and outgoing too. But Dahyun is different. She’s shy, and doesn’t often start a conversation first. She has to take things slow with Dahyun.

“Would you like to dance with me”, she asks. Dahyun grins and nods. Sana grabs her hand and drags her to an open spot on the dance floor. She wraps her arms around Dahyun’s waist. Dahyun wraps her arms around Sana’s neck and smiles. “Thank you for being my date for tonight”.

Sana smiles back. “You’re welcome! I hope you’re having fun with me”, she says and she wiggles her eyebrows. Dahyun laughs and nods. Sana wishes they could stay like this forever, slow dancing and looking at each other with smiles on their faces.

I think I fell for you, Kim Dahyun.
