Chapter 3   One Step Closer       TOP Cloud Hotel Shilla, Seoul    

Yuri takes a seat near the window that overlooks the city of Seoul. She is dress in a simple blue long sleeves collared shirt with 2 buttons opened, white short shorts that shows her tan thighs and a closed white pumps. She's looking around the restaurant when she spotted a familiar brown haired girl walking to her table. The girl is sporting a very classy and yet y look. A high waist black skinny pants that accentuate her bottom, red sleeveless fitted crop top, ankle boot heels and a black leather jacket.

  "Hey Yul.", the girl greets her and takes a seat in front of her. "Oh my neck is kind of stiffed."    "I told you to practice yoga.", she smirk at the girl who's currently doing a head exercise. The girl stops at what her doing and glares at her.   "You know I hate physical works.", the girl rolls her eyes and then looks at her phone."Seungri is late."   "You know him Fany. He's not the type of person who would come exactly at time. For all we know he's still on bed with some random girl.", Yuri laughs at her own words but stops when someone slaps the back of her head. "Who the heck!"   She turns around and sees the center of their talks, or rather the center of her jokes, scowling at her. He takes a seat beside Tiffany after giving a quick exchange of greetings. "Stop with those erted joke Yuri. I'm not in a good  mood."   "Ooh what happened to our panda?", Tiffany tries to ease his bad mood.    Seungri sit up straight and slams his fist at the table which startles the two ladies.    "Oh my heart.", Yuri mutters as she throws a spiteful glare at the guy.   Seungri ignores her little act and went ahead to tell them his story. "There was this freaking stranger girl earlier who called me a ert."   "Well you are a ert.", Yuri rolls her eyes at the hypocrisy of their friend.   "Shut up Yuri.", Seungri hiss at her. Tiffany tries to stop the two and tells Seungri to continue his story. "What did you do to be called ert by a stranger?"   "She is walking out of my cafe when I bump into her. The iced coffee that she's holding poured in her white top and as a gentleman I pulled out my handkerchief and wipes it out. That flat board chested girl slaps me on the face and throws her coffee.", he grits his teeth in frustration.   "But that's a wrong move Seungri. You should just have given the handkerchief and apologized.", Tiffany scolds him in which Yuri nods her head in agreement.   "Yuri you look like the dog bob head in Hyung's car.", Seungri ignores Tiffany and teases Yuri in which she answers with grabbing his collar making him choke.   "Yah you little brats stop that.", Tiffany slaps Yuri's hand lightly. She let go of Seungri and glares at him.   "Well, let's not talk about that okay. The dinner is on me so order up.", Tiffany waves her hand up to call the attention of the waiter.   The trio are having their sumptuous dinner when Seungri remember the thing that happened to Tiffany earlier.    "By the way Tiffany congratulations!", Seungri raise his glass wine. "Let's cheers for your successful first step!"   Tiffany and Yuri smiles and simultaneously raise their glass. "Cheers to that!"   "We should continue our celebration at the bar. Seungri invite our other friends.", Tiffany orders the younger guy.   "Same place?", Yuri knowingly smirks at her.    "Of course. It's my new favorite place.", Tiffany smirk back at her. Seungri just shakes his head at the two devious ladies.      Club Octagon Gangnam, South Korea     Another night of glittering lights and bombastic sounds are hyping up the crowd.There are enough people in the club, but not enough to the point that's it crowded. A few partygoers are already starting to dirty dance to the music while others are chugging down their liquor like water.   A group of friends are comfortably seating in one of the couch in the bar. Seungri and Jiyong are busy making out with some girl, Yoona is cuddling with her boyfriend, Seunggi, while the single ladies - Tiffany, Hyoyeon and Yuri are busy drinking some alcoholic drinks.   "Girl he's back.", Hyoyeon whispers to Tiffany's ear. She raise her eyebrow and search the club for the familiar guy.   "Wrong side Tiff. He's by the counter.", Yuri informs her while casually sipping her drink.   Tiffany looks at the counter and true to what Yuri and Hyoyeon said, he's sitting in one of the bar stool with a shot glass in his one hand while the other is resting comfortably on the blond Caucasian waist.   "It's showtime.", Tiffany flirtatiously her bottom lip before standing up. Hyoyeon grab her wrist and hand her a tequila shot.   "Drink first for additional confidence.", Tiffany gladly accepts the drink at gulps it in one shot.   She carefully maneuvers over the making out couples in the couch when Jiyong grabs her wrist.   "Where are you going?", he stops kissing the girl in his arms and sternly looks at her. The girl in his arm is glaring at Tiffany for interrupting their make out session.   "I'm going to dance Oppa. Continue what you're doing. She look pissed off.", Tiffany smirk at the flaring girl.   "Be careful Tiff. Don't do something reckless.", Jiyong let go of her wrist and smile at her. But Tiffany being in her playful self kiss him in the cheek before moving to the dance floor.   The girl groan at the scandalous scene of the two best friends in front of her. She's about to pull Tiffany's hair from kissing Jiyong but stop by the magical lips and hands of the guy. "Don't you even dare lay a finger or think of something bad about Tiffany. You'll never know what I'll do to you.", he says in between their kisses which made the girl shiver in fright.   Loud cheers and hoots echoes throughout the room. The once partially filled dance floor is now jam pack with people. The club is playing one of the hottest EDM song 'Catch Me If You Can' but it wasn't song that the people are cheering on. It's the girl in red and black that's seductively dancing in the stage beside the DJ that they are cheering. The boys pants are getting tight while the girls are jealous but at the same time admiring the y and beautiful girl dancing.     Siwon POV     The loud cheers and hoots is pissing me off. It's my first time hearing the people of the club this practically noisy. I let go of my hold from the y Caucasian girl who's name is Natalie? Natalia? Nancy? Whatever her name is.   I turn my head towards the dance floor and my eyes almost pop out from the socket. There in stage with the DJ is the girl that is making me frustrated since last night. She's y dancing in front of this riffraff people. I can feel myself getting hotter with every move that she's making. The music changes to another song and she sway her head to my side.    'Did she just wink at me?', I don't know if my eyes are just playing at me or she did really wink at me.   My eyes follows her moves from giving the DJ a peck in the cheek, which makes me want to punch him, and from carefully moving away from the crowd. I stretches my neck to watch her but just like last night I can't find her. I stand up from my seat when I bump into someone.   "Sorry.", we both say in choruses. I look down at the girl whom I bump with and my heart starts beating fast. 'Luck is on my side.', I inwardly smirk.    "It's good to see you again.", I wrap my arm on her small waist and use my free hand to lift her chin. I am starting to get mesmerize by her beautiful brown eyes that's shows confusion.   "Excuse me? Can you please let me go?", her voice that I wanted to hear sounds melodious to my ear.   I pull her closer to my body and caresses her cheek. I felt her freeze from my touch which makes me happy. "Don't you remember me?", I whisper seductively at her ear.   She relaxes at my hold and wraps her hand on my nape. I can feel her breath in my ear which makes me shiver in excitement. "Aren't you the guy last night? Didn't get laid aren't we?", she whisper back at my ear.   "It's because of you my lady. You didn't give me a chance.", I kiss the crook of her neck. I don't care if we are doing some PDA right now. Nobody will care since everyone is doing it.   She use her right hand to push me away from her. I groan at the lost warmth of her hand on my nape.She sits at the bar stool where I previously seated and beckons me to come near her. I hate it that this girl is making me follow her move but I can't stop myself from following her. She wraps her arms around my neck and made me stand in between her thighs. I place my hands in her hips and I start caressing her sides.   She leans her head on my neck and gives it some butterfly kisses. I shiver at the thought of this girl that's giving me the kisses. She lifts her head from my neck and kiss me by my lip side.   "This is enough for the night.", she push herself away from me and jumps up from the stool. For the second time around I stood frozen on my place. I can't hardly process at what happened between us. I look around the crowd and for the second night she disappeared right in front of my eye.   'Dang it. I didn't even get her name.', I curse some more in my head. This night shouldn't end without me knowing her name.     Fitness Gold's Gym Gangnam, South Korea     It's been 3 days since I last saw her. The people in the gym's cafe told me that they haven't seen her also for the past few days. I'm getting frustrated with what's happening right now. I've never act like this for a girl. This must be really what they call love at first sight.   I got out of the shower room and heads to the cafe. I'm silently praying and hoping to see her today. Just a glimpse will do for now. I peek at the cafe and become disappointed once I didn't see her inside. I slowly drag my feet to the counter an order something to eat.   The cafe is unusually full today as most of the tables are occupied except for the table that is specially reserve for me. I take my food in the table and starts eating. I'm busy listening to my newly compose song that I didn't realize someone is in front of me.   Knock knock   I furiously look up to see who's this strange person that's disturbing me but my angry feelings subsided once I see her smiling face. I take my headphones out of my ear and smiles at her.    "What can I do for you?", I nervously asks her. 'I hope I don't look stupid.'   "Uhm I'm sorry to disturb but is this seat taken?  Cause uh- all of the tables are taken.", she sheepishly smiles at me which made my heart flutter.    "O-of course. Here take a seat.", I bit my lip in nervousness.    "I'm Kwon Yuri. How about you? You're a regular here right?", she introduce herself while munching on her sandwich.   "Uhm- I'm Dong YoungBae. I-I Uhm yes I'm a regular here.", I'm not feeling good right now. My heart is thumping too much blood that it reaches u
