Can I Have This Dance?
Only In My DreamThe casts gathered backstage, and the music teacher said that they could all go home to be with their families.
"Merry Christmas, everyone," everyone greeted everybody.
Tae Kyung waited for the casts to clear the room, and when He Yi passed him by, he motioned her to come and follow him. And she did.

They were in the rooftop, feeling the fresh air.
"The play is really good," Tae Kyung told He Yi.
"Ah, but it is all because of me," she bragged.
He was not one to bow down, but he congratulated her, and she thanked him. Suddenly, she caught sight of her watch.
"Omo, time for me to go home," she said. "I gotta go."
For the first time, he saw that she was apologetic that she had to go.
"Wait," he said.
She turned to him and told him to make it fast. And without any hesitation, he asked her to dance with him.
"To what?" she asked in disbelief.
"Can I have this dance?" he asked her.
He held out his hand for her to hold. She allowed him to lead, and all the while, she realized that they were dancing the tango.
"Wow, you dance better than Mi Nam-ah," she said.
"Geurae, coz I am the best," he bragged.
They danced in silence, just listening to their own hearts beat. Finally, Tae Kyung confessed.
"I like you."
He Yi stopped dancing and looked at him. He could see that there was a bit of happiness in her eyes.
"Since when?"
He explained when, and she had to smirk that at last, he had fallen for her.
"No wonder you would fight with Mi Nam during group study," she chuckled.
"Ne."
Slowly, he leaned forward to her, and he gave her a sweet and innocent kiss. She had been dreaming this since the day she first saw him, so she also gave him her kiss. After sharing sweet kisses, they smiled at each other, and admitted to be each other's first kiss.
"Wow, this is my best Christmas ever!" He Yi squealed.
"Ne. Me too," Tae Kyung said.
He genuflected in front of her, held her hand, and asked if she's willing to be his girlfriend.
"Stand up, Hwang Tae Kyung," she . "Of course, I like to!"
He stood up as instructed and hugged her.
"Saranghae...." he told her.
Tears began falling down her eyes when he said it.
"Saranghae...." she told him too.
Finally, her phone rang, and from the other line, her eomma had been looking for her and ordered her to come down. When she hung up, she smiled at him as she held his hand.
"Gaja," she whispered. "I'll introduce you to my parents."
Tae Kyung nodded with a smile. He was very willing to meet them.
