Why can't you hold me on the street,

With the mellow music playing, the soft sounds of chairs scratching on the marble floor because of standing up were inaudible as all the attention were on the gentlemen making their way to their ladies; politely asking for a dance on a very fine night. Instead, heels clicking of the blushing females were noticible as they were led to the center of the hall.

It was a great opportunity to sway to the beat, hand in hand with whether  someone you're just interested with, forced to dance with or someone, let's say, you had absolutely fallen in love with.

But it's not always that easy. 

Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?

Their tables are just merely five meters away from each other. Other people had already gone to the center, but they stay put on their tables, staring at each other.

Kim Jongin could just grip on his wine glass tighter while gazing at her, wishing it's her that he holding with care instead.

Park Soojin could just crumple the white linen laid on her thighs, wishing it's his back she's carressing instead.

I wish that it could be like that,

Thick pulse of envy wash over them, as their sitting figures were getting drowned on the sea of carefree couples. She sent him a sad smile, having other people disappear as she just look at him. He reciprocated it, hoping nobody noticed.

If possible, she could stand up and be the one asking him to dance with her instead. But of course, Kim Jongin won't allow his girl to embarrass herself.

Why can't we be like that?

Or more so, the man beside her won't allow them; because even if Kim Jongin will kneel down beside her, fetch for the stars just to ask her for a dance instead, the one beside her who just stood up, asking for her permission to dance with him, won't let it happen.

She gave Jongin one last look before accepting the hand of the man.

Cause I'm yours

—She wanted to shout that to Kim Jongin so badly.

Yet here she is, guided to the dance floor by another man.
