A Dance to Remember

-J-Hope POV-

All of us arrived at our dorm tired and sleepy, Yoongi and Namjoon went straight to their bed. Meanwhile Jin hyung headed to the kitchen for a drink and the other three followed me to my room.

"What?!" I asked in annoyance.

Tae and Jungkook sat at my bed, Jimin stayed by the door.

Taehyung: You and Mai~

Jungkook: Don't listen to Namjoon and date the girl!

Jimin: I object.

Everyone looked at him.

Jimin: You know the consequences.

"Will you just lay off?" I told him, "I don't know what your deal is. Mai and I aren't dating. We're just friends."

Jimin: Eventually you'll end up dating.

"How do you know for sure?"

Taehyung: By the way you two look at each other.

Jungkook: *starts to imitate Mai* omg Hobi.. *blushing*

Taehyung: *starts to imitate Hoseok* saranghae..

I chuckled, "You guys are weird."

Jimin: *rolls eyes* all I'm saying is...you should know better.

"And I do. But what's your problem?"

Jimin: *groans* nothing! *walks away*

Jungkook: Somethings bothering him..

Taehyung: Who cares? Anyway! Back to you and Mai~

I sighed, "Guys..no matter how bad I want her..the guys are right. I can't date her? I'll be putting her life at risk. I'd hate to do that to her."

-SLAP-

!!

I held my cheek, "You slapped me!" I exclaimed.

Jungkook: Get your shit together.

Taehyung: Yeah. What he said!

"You just slapped me!" I retaliated.

Jungkook: I will do it again!

I rubbed my cheek, "It hurt.."

Taehyung: Have you forgotten that we're a team? We have your back!

Jungkook: If Mai is what you want..then go for it! Who's stopping you?

"Everyone." I muttered.

Taehyung: Not us.

Jungkook: I know you care about her more than just a friend. It's too obvious.

Taehyung: I mean the way your eyes light up when you see her. It gives it all away.

I smiled just thinking of Mai.

Jungkook: See? You're thinking of her aren't ya!

Taehyung: Aww this is too cute.

I rolled my eyes, "Shut up."

Taehyung: Hey if you aren't gonna make a move..don't mind if I do.

I hit him, "Don't you dare! Mai isn't some toy. She's a human being with feelings! And I care about those feelings!"

They both smiled like idiots.

"What?" I asked in annoyance.

Taehyung: You're in love..

"No I'm not! I just genuinely care about her as a human being."

Jungkook: Mhm. Suree~

I scoffed, "You guys don't know her like I do, she's beautiful and down to earth and just- ugh. I don't know what to do. Sometimes I wish she wasn't a fan..but then other times I wish I wasn't famous..." I frowned.

Jungkook put his hand on my shoulder.

Jungkook: You'll be alright. *smiles*

Taehyung: I'm not sure about that but I hope for the best.

"Thanks guys.." I mumbled. "But..I want to ask her out. I know it's crazy, I'm aware of ALL the risks, I could careless. Now tell me..how should I do it..and when?"

Jungkook: Well that private party is coming up soon.

Taehyung: Oh! I got the perfect idea!

I smiled.

-Days Later-

-Mai POV-

"Mai you have to go!" Lena encouraged.

"Lena, I just told you-"

"Do you realize how freaking lucky you are?! Any fan, and I mean ANY fan wouldn't give up this GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY for THE WORLD. Now listen to me, you are going to suck it up, dress up, and show up. He's expecting you!"

"Did you even listen to a word I just said?" I asked her.

"Obviously you didn't hear what I just said." She groaned, "Mai please. It scares me you don't realize how truly lucky you are."

I frowned, "Of course I know but.."

"No buts. I have to go to bed now, I think my mom's coming to check on me. Stay safe and please..listen to me."

-click-

She says it like it's nothing! Something's are easier said than done.

So I injured myself -_-

Tripped while I was walking and now my ankel is sprained and tonights the private party.

Oh and Hoseok doesn't even know.

We haven't talked for days.

How am I going to tell him that I can't go? I'm not about to walk in heels.

I'm going to feel so bad for backing out.

Although, Lena is basically forcing me to go but my ankel. It hurts, a lot. I haven't even gone to work, they gave me some days off, which is coming out of my pay.

Sigh.

-phone rings-

That's definitely Hobi, I don't even have to look at my phone to know. I just know. I snatched my phone and took a deep breath.

Here we go!

I answered, "Hey.."

"Have you received your package yet~" he asked happily.

Package?

"No- but listen-"

*ding dong*

"Was that your bell?" He asked.

"You heard that?" I asked.

"Answer!" He demanded.

In pain, I went ahead and answered the door only to find a tall delivery guy with a white box.

"Mai?" He said.

I nodded, "De.."

He had me sign off and handed me my package then walked off.

What the hell?

"Now did you receive your package?" He asked again.

"Yeah. But-"

"Open it!" He cheered.

I sighed and went to grab a knife and opened it minutes later.

I gasped.

"I want you to be my Miss. Right, tonight." He said ever so sweetly.

Tears welled up at the corner of my eyes.

He got me a beautiful eggplant colored tight evening dress with breathtaking silver heels. Along with a gorgeous set of jewelry.

"Hoseok.." my voice cracked.

"Please come out tonight.."

"I-I...I-"

"I'll be waiting for you."

"Wait!"

-click-

My ankle!

I dialed back instantly but he didn't answer after several calls.

I cried my eyes out.

Hoseok deserves way better than me.

Where did my luck go?! Aigo!

As I sat there balling my eyes out, I felt like my heart was being ripped out alive.

》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》

-J-Hope POV-

Damn it where's Mai? I tapped my fingers on the table impatiently.

Is she blowing me off? I can't even call her, the staff has my phone. Unless I ask for it, but I usually don't do that at events like this nor do I want to look suspicious.

It's been hours though.

The thought ran through my mind as I kept checking to see if she had arrived or not. Unfortunately she still hasn't. Now I'm worried, what if something happened?

"Just take it easy, Hobi." Jungkook cautioned, he seemed like he knew what was going through my mind. Perhaps my facial expression said it all

"Yeah I know, but this isn't like Mai." I stated.

"Maybe she's running a little late." He assumed.

"You call 2 hours late?"

He sighed, "Please calm down."

I got up from my seat, "I'm gonna go see if she's having trouble getting in."

He shook his head.

Or just sneak out and head to her place, either way I have to know if she's ok.

》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》

-Hwayoung POV-

I arrived at the venue and all eyes were on me, it made feel a bit uncomfortable. Only because the dress I'm wearing is very short and revealing, but regardless beautiful. Jimin had prepared it just for me, so I'm gladly wearing it just for him.

As I walked in searching my surroundings, I spotted him.

There he was, walking towards me with that sweet delicate smile. My lips formed a big grin as I got close to him as well.

"You made it." He whispered.

"Here I am." I said cheerfully.

He smiles, I looked at his plumped lips, wanting to kiss them and never stop. But if I do that, I can expose myself and our relationship would be open to everyone. Which is something I worked hard and long for to not happen.

Thankfully he never holds a grudge on me nor can I ever stay mad at him.

"Damn babe, to know that you're mine is..." he smiles ever so happily, "I feel accomplished."

I blushed at his compliment.

"Where are the others?" I asked referring to his members.

His smile faded slowly as he looked around, almost like he's worried we might be seen, "See the thing is-"

"Jimin!"

I gasped as Jimin grabbed me and put me behind him as Hoseok approached us.

Jimin: What do you want?

J-Hope: Do you have your phone on you?

He asked anxiously.

Jimin: No why?

Hoseok sighed in frustration.

Jimin: What's the matter hyung?

J-Hope: Nothing. I'm leaving.

!!

I took a step forward, "Wha-"

Jimin grabbed Hoseok.

Jimin: Whoa wait..why?

J-Hope: Mai hasn't arrived, I'm worried something happen. This isn't like her, cover for me. Ok?

And he runs off without noticing me, I was literally just standing right in front of him. Aside from that, I'm just as worried. What is going on with Mai? I trust that she would've told me at least something. I mean we text like all the time, now all of a sudden this?

Maybe something did happen..

"Aish..what the hell!" Jimin exclaimed. "This wasn't supposed to happen! It's always Mai! I swear ever since she walked into his life she's interfered in a lot!"

"Babe..calm down." I looked around, "Don't cause a scene!"

"Aishh! That girl needs to stop!"

"Why are you getting upset?" I asked.

He turned and faced me, his eyes full of sorrow, "I was going to announce our relationship tonight."

My heart stopped.

He held my hand, "I don't want to hide you anymore, don't think you're the only one tired of hiding. I am too."

"Jimin..we can't-"

"I know I know. That's what holds me back, I wish it wasn't so complicated, you know?"

"Of course I know baby." I sighed, "But there's also no need to rush. Ok? I can wait until the time is right."

He looked at me and I gave him a reassuring smile, in response he winks at me.

"Can I at least introduce you to my members?" He asked.

I thought for a moment, then suddenly thought of Mai. Something tells me she isn't ok and that I should make sure she is.

"Jimin, I'm sorry." I said.

"Huh?"

I bit my lip, "I have to go check on, Mai."

He suddenly grew a very cold and devious facial expression. Goosebumps creeped up on my body.

"You're fucking joking right?" He asked so coldly and bluntly. In all honesty, he never spoke to me in that form/tone.

I glared at him, "What a nice way to talk to me." I scoffed and stumbled away.

》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》

-Mai POV-

Can I please die now?

I feel disgusting for what I've done tonight, I blew him off! All because my damn ankel doesn't allow me to walk properly.

This is going to end bad and I know it, what if he never talks to me again? I'm sure that's what'll happen.

I'm not worth stressing over, his career should be and is his first priority, not some foreigner like me who wastes his time.

Damn if only I had super powers.

*ding dong*

A sudden sharp pain stung in my chest once I heard that bell. Who could it be?

It's pouring rain too, I doubt it's who I think it is. Highly doubt it.

I grabbed my crutches and slowly made my way to my door. The bell rang one more time until I opened.

\ (' ･ Д ･ ) 」

"What are you doing here?!" I immediately asked and looked up and down, "You're all wet oh my gosh!" I exclaimed.

His eyes slightly widen at the site of my injured ankel, "Why didn't you tell me you were hurt?" He asked, "I sat for nearly 3 hours worried that you stood me up or if something had happened. Now I see why...." he frowned, "Why didn't you say anything?"

"I tried to..but.."

He walked inside and closed the door then helped me to the couch and carefully sat me down.

"How did this happen?" He asked.

I took a deep breath then slowly started to explain how I escalated into this situation -.-

He shook his head, "You need to be careful!" He slapped my arm playfully, "Stop being clumsy."

I giggled, "I can't help it when you're around." I said.

"What?" He asked a bit surprised.

Oh shit..

I literally just blurted out what I thought.

"Hey do you want a towel?" I asked changing the subject, "You look like you could use one. They're in the closet over there." I pointed, "Please dry up. You're wet hair makes you look too smoken hot."

His eyes lit up, "Wow.."

!!

Once again I said it out loud! I covered my mouth and looked away shyly which only made him smile widely at my cute acts.

"Where did you say the towels were?" He asked as he got up and made his way to the closet I had pointed to.

I avoided staring at him as he dried himself up. Rage of thoughts flooding my mind. Just when I thought my luck was running out, I was wrong.

"Did you really think I wasn't gonna come looking for you?" He asked from a far.

"Uhm..sorta? Yeah. I kinda did."

I heard him chuckle, "Oh Mai, when are you ever going to get it?" He asked.

"Get what?" I asked and looked up.

\ (' ･ Д ･ ) 」

My eyes laid on his bare chest, his hard 6 pack abs, cut up arms. I had never ever thought I'd get to see Jung Hoseok shirtless. In person.

He had that damn seductive smile on his face with his hair still pretty wet, and the towel that hung from his shoulders.

"What?" He asked seductively, as if trying to lure me into his world.

My throat felt dry as I swallowed hard, "H-Hobi..-"

He shutted me up as he slowly walked towards my stereo, I was confused at first, but then a slow song played. Hoseok turned to face me and smiled warmly, then slowly made his way towards me.

I wanted to back away and tell him to stop but I couldn't. My eyes were glued to his beautiful body.

He stretched his arm out to me, "May I have this dance?" He asked.

IS HE KIDDING ME?! HE EXPECTS ME TO DANCE WITH HIM WHILE HE'S SHIRTLESS AND LOOKING SEXY AS EVER?!

"No!" I rejected and covered my face.

He giggled, "I take that as a yes, c'mon." He grabbed my hand and pulled me up carefully as I still covered my face.

"Mai.." he frowned.

"I said no!" I reminded.

He held me up firmly anyways, I didn't notice I had put my arms around him and balanced myself on my good foot.

He slowly started to slowly sway us back and forth, being gentle as possible to prevent hurting me. It made me feel so special and want to hold on to him like this forever.

Its almost like our hearts are in sync with each other. I can feel his heart beat and for sure he can feel mine.

I smiled instantly as I held on to him for as long as I can. I had to appreciate the fact he came all the way down here just for me. To see if I was ok, to make sure I wasn't in any trouble. Once he found out the truth he wasn't even mad. Not the slightest bit, instead he was worried and now look.

He's giving me a dance to remember.

Why did I ever doubt him so much when I should clearly know by now...

Jung Hoseok likes me.

"Mai.." he whispered and pulled away, I looked into his eyes almost too fast.

"Yes?" I asked softly.

He looked at my lips then back at my eyes, "This is gonna sound..maybe cliche but.. I don't know what you're doing to me. I see you, and I smile. I don't think of you as my fan, nor do I sometimes remember you are one. Whenever I'm with you, I forget who J-Hope is and act like me. Jung Hoseok. I forget that I have millions of fans, I forget about the fame, the luxury, the accomplishments. All I really do is live in the moment, with you." He paused as he started into my eyes, meanwhile I tried to process everything he just said, "What I'm trying to say is..I think I'm falling for you...and...I don't even care about the consequences."

At that moment, I wanted to cry.

Cry because no one has ever said something that meaningful and deep to me. Ever. J-Hope saying that to my face was making it even more unreal to me.

On top of that, I wanted to say 'fuck it' and just be with him. Love him, care for him, support him. But deep down I knew all I could do, is support him.

I wasn't stupid, I knew exactly what I was getting myself into since the beginning. This whole time I was trying to avoid one thing which was this, because I'm afraid of the outcome.

Aside from getting caught and suffering major consequences, I also thought about what I wasn't able to provide for him since I knew so little about his culture. Plus, I'm not Korean, but clearly he doesn't care.

But I still do.

No matter how much it breaks me to say it..

"I can't do this anymore."

A/N: I think I just made myself cry.
