He had just arrived at the party, a little earlier than Jiyong and Yoona. He roamed the room and not surprisingly, was already the attention of the ladies. He picked out a suitable date from the group of girls (who were all over him) and flirted openly with her with the intent of distracting himself.

What still boggled with his mind was why he acted the way he did with Yoona. That was definitely not the Seunghyun he knew and reassured himself that it was a one time thing that will never happen again. Tonight, he was the arrogant, rude Seunghyun.

Suddenly, the loud dance music quieted down since it became a slower and calmer song, This caused the room to be able to take note of who entered when the large doors opened. A creak was heard, and not a moment later, Jiyong and Yoona stepped in. All heads turned towards the door, as the clicking of heels on the marble floor became less distant, the more silent it became in the room as people gaped at the couple.

Why... does she... look .. so ... GOOD?!  he cursed to himself as he froze when his eyes finally adjusted to the figure standing there. He frowned, knowing that he couldn't think straight.

Then, their eyes met.

She lowered her eyes immediately, wondering why he was looking at her with such an intense stare that made her knees go weak.

He let out a frustrated groan and looked over to his left, wanting to make use of his distraction. He pulled her in closer and complimented on how pretty she was, when she (who was envying Yoona at the moment) fell for it, he nuzzled his nose against her cheek and then to her neck. He took in the scent of her perfume which never failed to make him want a person even more. It was always pleasant. She giggled as he . He smirked.

She gazed over in his direction again, and when she saw the intimate act, she quickly averted her eyes and met Jiyiong's eyes instead. He never failed to be a comforter as he gave her a warm smile and a slight nod signaling them to not stand awkwardly by the doors. She got the hint and took unsteady steps forward, which was the result of her not-fully healed ankle and her nervousness combined.

She took silent deep breaths as gazes still lingered when she walked past, but soon most had snapped back to reality where they had their own dates to worry about.

She wanted to pull back when she noticed that he was leading them to Seunghyun, but they were best friends after all, she shouldn't stop them. Although he stopped the whole snuggling thing, his arm was becoming very friendly with her waist. She greeted them politely since she didn't want to make much of an interaction, then let Jiyong do the rest of the small talk.

He stayed collected when Yoona was right in front of him now, and decided not to pay too much attention to her. He turned to Jiyong instead.

"You usually have terrible taste when it comes to picking out ties, this one... it's rather decent" he smirked as he flicked Jiyong's tie out of his suit jacket.

Jiyong laughed as he tucked it back in it's spot. "Yoona picked it out" he said proudly, glancing over to her.

She pulled on his arm "I told you oppa. I have good taste!" she bragged at his comment.

Seunghyun couldn't help but feel a little pang of jealously hit him.

"I can give you something better" the girl beside him interrupted his thoughts as she whispered seductively in his ear. Only other women can suspect a man's jealousy. The usual smirk appeared on his face as he leaned down, and caught her lips in his.

Yoona couldn't believe she actually just heard that. "Umm, we should leave these two alone" she said to Jiyong. He saw the pleading look in her eyes, and immediately gave in to her pulling him towards the crowd of people.

He quickly pulled away from the girl he was plainly kissing, and wiped the gloss that was left on his lips with his thumb. The girl beside him stared desperately at him in his change of behavior. She tried to get his attention but he shook her off coldly. His eyes never left Yoona though as she disappeared into the crowd with Jiyong.

He was a little hesitant as he thought about her comfort zone but saw that she was waiting awkwardly for him to do something so he slowly and carefully wrapped his arms around her waist. She in turn reached up, and placed her arms around his neck. Since it was a slow song, there was no other choice but to slow dance. She looked at her feet the whole time from her shyness at how close they were.

"It's okay to look up at me Yoona" he chuckled. "I don't want to just stare at the crown of your head you know" he lowered his head down so that he could see her face.

"There, you can see my face now right?" she stuck out her tongue but slowly lifted her head up anyways in which he moved his head up as well, tightening his arms around her so that she would have to move even closer.

She moved her eyes to meet his. "Thank you oppa." she took a nice breath of air in. "Today, had been so much fun... one of the best actually" she said the last part more quietly to herself than to him.

"Glad one of us enjoyed it" he joked.

The upper part of her body leaned away from him, taking back her earlier words. "Oh, I'll leave now then!" she said sarcastically and broke free of his arms.

"Yoona!" he laughed

"No!" she said pouting.

He immediately grabbed her wrist and spun her into him again making her laugh, but stopped when she ended up closer to him than before. She blinked a couple of times.

There was a moment of silence between the two. He couldn't help but slowly linger his eyes onto her lips, feeling like he had lost control over them. She noticed this when he brought his eyes back to her again. She swallowed.

They were both startled when his phone started to ring, and immediately let go of each other, both taking a step away. He picked it up and his face stiffened to whatever news was being said on the other side.

"I'm coming right now" he said urgently, quickly hanging up.

"Is everything okay?" her eyebrows furrowed together as she looked at him worriedly.

He looked at her for a second, regretful that his night with her had to end. "I'm so sorry Yoona, but i have to go" and then almost immediately turned around to make his way out.

She grabbed onto his arm.

"You will tell me about it right?" she wanted to be there for him

He hesitated, he hasn't really told anyone about it, but then slowly nodded and smiled. She returned it with a small smile, and slowly let her hand slip off his arm.

When she thought he was going to leave already, he turned around. "I had a great time too yoona... one of the best days of my life" he returned the lines to her then left.

A smile crept onto her face, as she thought about his sentence. When she turned around, she was left there not knowing what to do. Whether she should just go home since Seunghyun already had company or to stay here and do nothing. She looked towards the doorway where Jiyong had already left.

He slid his hand around her waist and pulled her into him. She flinched in surprise when she felt a pair of hands aorund her and got herself ready to punch whoever the ert was.

She came face to face with him.

She had a confused look on her face, but was changed into anger when he rubbed his hands around her back, and then placed them on her waist.

"Do you work out yoona? You have a firm body" he said, his deep voice trailed down her neck.

She gave him a disgusted look. She didn't like the way he was touching her, he could do that with all those other girls but absolutely not her.

She reached down to his his arms, trying to remove them from her.

"Let go" she said seriously as she looked into his eyes, still trying to pry his arms open.

He didn't let go,

"Seunghyun!!" she shrieked. "Let go!" she struggled in his strong arms trying to break free.

He leaned closer to her. "People are looking Yoona ah" and then looked up to show her. She followed his sight and she hated that he was right. She clenched her teeth together, and gave a forced smile. She just had to withstand it a while longer.

"What about your date?"

"You're my date now" he said nonchalantly

"I don't want to be" she said, clearly annoyed.

He laughed. "Everyone wants to be. In fact, you should be thanking me for giving you an opportunity like this"

The song changed from a slow dance to a waltz, which she was thankful for. He took her hand in his, and reached the other hand that was on her waist towards the small of her back. She had no choice but to move her hands away from his chest that helped her from getting too close to him, and lazily placed them on his arm. That was when the idea popped into her head.

"Ouch!"

"Oh I'm sorry"

"Ow!"

"Sorry!... I just don't know how to dance the waltz" she said innocently, but as soon as he looked down to check his shoes, she smirked. It was his fault for being so full of himself.

She stepped on him a few more times for her satisfaction and much to his endurance.

"Ah chinja. why don't you just stand on my feet?" he said sarcastically.

"Oh? Thank you so much!" she became obedient and immediately climbed onto his feet.

He was speechless, but found it a little funny as a chuckle escaped his lips. He soon groaned once all her weight added to her heels were on his feet. She giggled at his pain. He took the hand that was placed incorrectly on his arm, carefully, since he remembered that it was injured, and correctly positioned it on his shoulder.

"If you're going to stand on my feet, we at least have to do this properly right?"

What he said had made sense and so she nodded in agreement.

Her feet became his as he continued the waltz, and actually found it fun to be moving and dancing around without her actually having to do anything.

People occasionally glanced at them and laughed in which Seunghyun would hide his face

"I can't believe I'm doing this" he said quietly to her.

"Are you embarrassed?" she teased

He didn't answer, which was proof that he was. She stepped down from his feet which made him feel the emptiness right away, and somehow he didn't like it.

"It's good enough for me that you got embarrassed" she said proudly and started to waltz perfectly.

"What is this? You can dance!" he then realized he had been deceived.

"That's what you get" she stuck her tongue out.

They started dancing together properly after she explained that she knew the basics to ballroom dancing. She tried not to put so much weight on her injured ankle though, but to her surprise, it wasn't bothering her all that much tonight. There wasn't a big pain as she moved around.

"But you know..." she broke the silence. "You're not as good as a dancer as Ji-oppa" she coolly said

"Bwoh?" he stopped dancing for a moment, and then in one swift move, he twirled her under his arm and then dipped her.

She laughed from surprise and continued to even when he brought her back up in which she stumbled a little, regaining her balance as she rested her forehead on the side of his neck. She could feel his neck pulsing as he laughed along with her.

"I wasn't ready for that!" she said in between her laughs as she lightly hit his chest, moving away from him pouting.

"That's that you get for saying that he was better than me" he defended

"You're so childish. And! Its only the truth" she said playfully

"Did you just call me childish?" he joked, pretending to dip her again, which made her laugh again. "And that's cause the waltz isn't my thing. I like more passionate dances, like the tango"

"Lies... The tango is much harder" she simply stated. Of course she didn't believe him.

He then let go of her as he moved through the rest of the crowd towards the DJs corner. He whispered something and with the dj's nod, he turned back.

She heard the music change to a tango which then had everyone's attention, as heads turned to look at Seunghyun who was making his way back to Yoona. Space was made in the middle for the two of them.

Yoona was unsure if he could really dance the tango as she eyed him carefully. He only smirked as he came closer to her.

He took his proper position as she got ready by warming up as she swayed her hips. Suddenly, as the music really began, he pulled her close, their faces only inches away that she had to get on her tippy toes to meet his height. He then stepped back, in which she slid her foot behind her, and then got back up, and fell into him again. She was surprised that he was the one leading her, but still, her steps were perfectly in sync. She leaned against him while he swept her across the floor, they went backwards, then sideways, he kept swiftly changing directions causing a whipping action from her legs. They walked forward a few steps when he suddenly picked her up by her waist, she wrapped her legs around his body instinctively, and then swung them out, landing carefully. He then bent his knee which was almost a challenge from him for her to improvise.

She smirked at him, because of this, she was able to execute her favorite move. She wrapped her leg around his lap, and used it as her support, sitting on it as she lifted her other leg straight up. He was surprised at her flexibility and unknowingly smiled to himself. He liked it. The dance ended after he extended his arm out which flung her out, and then she twirled back into him.

He felt her breathing on his neck, and after a round of thunderous applause from their audience, they both laughed out of enjoyment of their little competition. They were now back to just casually dancing and talking ot each other.

"Not bad Seunghyun shi" she praised him, but he wasn't satisfied.

"I'll take that as a compliment" he paused. "But can I ask you something?"

she nodded slowly, hesitant to what he was going to ask her.

"Why do you called Jiyong 'oppa' and not me?"

She was stunned at his question and couldn't help but wonder if he was jealous or if such a simple matter bothered him. She shook those thoughts away and told herself that it was because every girl called him 'oppa' and so it was weird not hearing it from her.

"You don't deserve it yet" she finally answered after a brief pause.

"When would i deserve it then?" he then chuckled. "When you're drunk?" he said, jokingly hinting that she would never call him that if she was in her right mind.

"Hmm.. Probably" she readily agreed and laughed. "When I'm drunk.. and you're the one taking care of me.. then you might hear and 'oppa' from me"

He just accepted her commented and told himself that he didn't need to hear it anyways.

Since they were on the topic, it got her thinking. "Just once in my life I want to be careless. Just tonight..." she trailed off, not meaning to say her thoughts out loud.

He was confused what she had meant and she had noticed that he had heard what she said.

The damage had already been done she thought to herself.

"Seunghyun" she began... "What does alcohol taste like?"

At first he was surprised at what she said but after a moment, a smirk appeared on his face which made her regret her decision immediately.

"Let's find out"
