“Jeongyeon!! You look beautiful.” Nayeon commented, twirling a lock of Jeongyeon’s long, silver hair around her finger. She brushed her strands carefully back into a ponytail, tucking a few strays behind Jeonyeon’s ear.

 

     “You think so?” She stared hesitantly at herself in the mirror, mainly at the tight dress she was wearing. “Like, are you just trying to make me feel better?”

 

    She wanted nothing more than to be feminine, even if only for a little while. She had always been portrayed as the girl crush. But she wanted to be something more than just that. Her only fear was not being able to pull it off.

 

    “Its a fact. I’m not just saying it.” Nayeon reassured her. She hugged her tightly from behind and Jeongyeon smiled, giving her arm a squeeze. “Now lets go. Dayhun promised to cover for us if Jihyo got suspicious.”

 

    They had planned to do this for a long time now, sneak out one night on tour and visit a club, but they did have a promise between them. 

 

    We stick together the entire time, no drinking, no leaving with random strangers. Behave and make sure we don’t regret this. 

 

    It was going to be simple and fun, a bit of reckless energy and rushed adrenaline. They needed it. Nayeon pulled her along, Jeongyeon stumbling in her high heels that she was still getting used to.

 

    “We’re going to have so much fun. I can feel it.”

 

————————————————————————-

 

    “Wow… Theres-“

    

    “A lot of people here? I know.” Nayeon interrupted. She turned and smiled, fighting her amusement. “Are you nervous to be here?” She asked, pinching Jeonyeon’s cheek playfully.

 

    “No! I mean… not really.” Nayeon just pulled her along, into the purple lights and drunken people. “You look amazing. Stop doubting yourself.” Jeongyeon nodded bravely. 

 

    I’ve got this, I’ve got this, I’ve got this. 

 

    “Let’s dance, that should loosen you up a little bit.” They slipped into the crowd of moving bodies, staying close to each other. 

 

    Luckily, they both knew a little something about dancing and were able to pull it off together. Jeongyeon leaned in to whisper in Nayeon’s ear. “What if someone recognizes us?”

 

    “They shouldn’t.” She replied. “Most are too drunk to tell left from right.” Jeongyeon pressed her pink lips together. “You’re right..” They watched as an intoxicated man began to dance wildly, making an idiot of himself.

 

    Nayeon began to laugh at him, attempting to copy his ridiculous dance moves. Jeongyeon jokingly began to dance with her, holding Nayeon’s shoulder so she didn’t fall in her shoes. She was actually beginning to enjoy this.

 

    They froze in their steps as the next song came on. Cheer up by Twice blasted through the speakers and the club went wild. Jeongyeon looked around her at all of the smiling faces.

 

    A few people even began to do their dance when the chorus came on, including Nayeon. “Do it with me!” She called. Jeongyeon smiled, quickly joining in.

 

    The night progressed into something Jeongyeon felt was truly wonderful. It was everything she had hoped for and for once, she felt truly beautiful. 

 

    She danced in close proximity with Nayeon, growing quite an audience. Nayeon smiled at her, looked at her as if she were admiring art. “You’ve finally grown into yourself.” She said, as if it were a promise.

 

    She took a quick look around at all the people. “Come here.” Jeongyeon clasped her hands around Nayeon’s waist and they were pulled into each other.

 

    “Ive always wanted to do this.”

 

    “Do what?”

 

Nayeon just smiled and brought her lips closer until they were connected with Jeongyeon’s. It seemed as if the entire world had been set on fire in that very moment/

 

    Her lips, god, her lips. They were perfect, she was perfect, it was all so perfect. She wanted to take this moment and keep it forever. Just her and Nayeon. 

 

                      Just the two of them.
