Jimin's pov

I couldn't help but blush furiously in front of Tyler who's looking at me like he saw me for the first time.

Was something wrong with me?

Do I look that bad?

Did I exaggerate my look?

I looked away from his staring blue eyes to the far corner where Hobi was sitting, with his sunshine smile and thumbs up from both of his hands. I smiled softly at him, trying hard not to expose anything and turned once again to face a still stunned Tyler who was walking closer to me.

"What's wrong?" I asked shyly looking down at my feet. He slowly placed his slender index finger on my chin and tilted my head up to face him.

"You look amazing" he whispered the words and smiled as the blush darkened on my cheeks.

"T-Thank y-you" I stutterd and he only hummed, leading me to our table then he gently nudged my shoulders from behind, telling me to give him my coat and I did just that, hanging it at the back of my seat.

What a gentle man.

We sat down in an awkward atmosphere, and ordered our drinks and as the waiter disappeared, the awkwardness seemed a little light.

"I'm glad we have this chance again" He spoke still smiling.

"Yeah, I'm sorry for last time" I apologized feeling slightly embarrassed.

"No, you shouldn't apologize at all. What happened to Hobi tho?". The waiter showed up with our drinks and placed it on our table respectively.

"Uh, its nothing serious. I just didn't notify him that I would be late and he got worried" I said while swirilling my drink by the straw absent mindedly.

"Oh well then, it isn't the same as before now, right?" he asked a little bit worried.

"Oh, no no no, I wouldn't want to miss this karaoke night" I said in a silly tone while he chuckled.

And now I was relieved that the tense awkward atmosphere was gone. I was actually enjoying myself in his company and being myself as well and of course I was happy since this doesn't happen to me often. And I think it's safe to say its the same for him as well.

As we talked and laughed, I would steal glances over at Hobi and at the other guys from time to time. Hobi is having a drink and glued to his phone and he too steals glances at me while the others were talking and also having their drinks as well. But....

WHY IN THE HELL IS HE HERE?!?!?!?

I thought my talking back and all would have offended him and he would stay put but I guess he's a man of his words then. I snorted and rolled my eyes mentally at that statement.

WHAT A JERK HE IS!!!!

As I kept thinking about it the more I felt myself tensing up in anger. I don't want this night to be ruined in a any kind for I was loving and enjoying the situation here, so I calmed myself down.

The area is really relaxing and calming. The place was warm under the orange-yellow-ish dim lights and also it was filled with low chattering, laughters and of course, people were dancing and singing on the small stage in the middle of the place that lightened up the mood even more.

"Do you have a time limit?" he asked suddenly.

"A what?" I asked confused.

"I mean did Hobi tell to you go home at a certain time limit?" he explained and I found myself giggling at his silly concern.

"No and he doesn't need to. Its not like I need his permission or anything I just need to notify him and thats all. You don't need to be worried" I again finished my sentence with my giggles.

"Well good then cause I wasn't planing to end the night just yet" he grinned and took my hand getting up from his seat, slowly leading me to a group of people standing in the space in the middle of the bar in front of the stage.

"What's happening?" I asked looking around at the people who were in pairs as well, standing in between them, my hand still in his.

Suddenly, a loud voice echoed through out the bar through the speakers which I assumed was the DJ or the MC, I really don't know.

"Ladies and gentleman, once again Friday came around for our special karaoke night. And as always we have a different theme and music for every week and tonight's is....."

Please I beg of you, don't be a romantic theme and embarrass me in front of everyone specially my work colleagues and MY BOSS.

"......Hip Hop, CONVERSE HIGH!" the MC annoncced and the bar was filled with excitement claps and I sighed in relief but wait....I CAN'T DANCE. I DON'T WANT TO. Its not that I'm bad at it specially in this kind of theme. When I didn't have anything to do, Hobi has thought me well enough about dance skills since he's in that field and the song is really famous so as the dance moves but even so, I've never danced I front of people. It even took me a while with Hobi and now look at me.

"Ready to dance?" Tyler asked, looking down at me still grinning.

"What?! No! I can't!" I protested.

"Ow c'mon, you're brother is a dance teacher. I'm pretty sure you know a move or two and besides this is a famous song, I'm sure you know the moves" he lightly squeezed my hand which was still in his grasp.

"But-but-" I was about to protest again but the MC cut me off.

"Well, couples here of friday karaoke night will enjoy and dance to the famous music Converse high~" he stated as the other people were at their spots, excited and chatting.

There was no way to back down from this now and...WAIT!!!!!

"He said couples!" I looked at him in surprise waiting for some denile or anything but he was still quiet and only got much closer to me and smiled lightly squeezing my hand.

My heart just dropped. I couldn't catch the tail of the situation that was unfolding before my eyes and my mind just froze.

Does this mean anything?

Are we now a....

The intro of the music was loud now, snapping me out of my spacing out. All the other people were in their places, talking and smiling to their partners, women and men. I was glad we weren't the only gays there. But still I'm so so nervous about everything.

My eyes eventually landed on Hobi, which was now on his feet, clapping with his bright smile and when he looked at me back he mouthed me

"Its gonna be fine"

I, then nervously smiled at him and somehow felt assured of myself, maybe because he taught me very well and I was really good at it.

I inhaled deep and turned back to Tye who was still smiling and looking at me with fond in his eyes. I, again blushed when I caught his gaze on me.

"Ready?" he asked as the beat started. I nodded and started to move according to the music like everyone else who was with us. I was surprised for a moment to find Tye really good at it and I also caught his surprised face at me as well.

My eyes were locked with his. I didn't glance at the others nor anybody. It felt as if time has slowed down, nothing crossed my mind whatsoever.

As the beat increased, so did our moves and the fun in it as well. I felt so happy dancing with him and the nervousness was long gone and I found myself laughing and singing the song with the other pairs.

"Converse high

I really really want ya

Converse high

I really really need ya

Converse high

I really like ya

Converse high, nah Converse high...."

We danced and danced to the music mixed with all the laughters, the cheers and the claps from all the people that were in the bar and I couldn't have any happier.

As the last hook of the song was playing, Tye twirled me and pulled me by my waist. I leaned to his touch and we were so close, our chest pressed together as he stared deep into my eyes. My heart's pace was fast and it flutter every time I felt his hot breath over my face. He slowly moved his one hand and rested on my face cupping my side while the other was still on my small waist and me, both my hands were rested on to the lower part of his chest, as I still stared into his eyes with my tomato face.

I felt his soft, thin lips on my plump ones suddenly, making my breath stop abruptly. There it happened. It finally came true. My crave for his lips, touch and for his love was all full filled on this particular night. I closed my eyes in the action. My mind went blank and my heart seemed to stop its fast beating. This was my very first kiss and I was happy that it was no one but him who took it.

I couldn't help but smile in the middle and he pulled back, our foreheads still connected and our eyes still closed.

"I'm happy I got to do this" he whispered as he sighed out, eyes still closed and with a smile.

"Me too" I replied smiling. He parted from me chuckling, then hugged me tight as I mirrored the same, burying my face in the crook of his neck.

The place roared with loud cheers, and claps as the music has ended and to my surprise it was for us. I looked around smiling, still in his hands and found out Hobi was one of the loudest cheering there and I giggled at his action and that made Tye to look towards my gaze. I, then saw Hobi slightly blowing his head while clapping and Tye did the same thing, laughing.

"Seems like you needed a wing man huh?" he said looking down at me, his smile never leaving.

"Well, who knew it will end up as a success" I chuckled as he kissed the crown of my head and we slowly walked to our table since everyone was going to there places as well and the crowed was calming down.

But before I was seated, I turned to see the other wing guys that were at the opposite corner. The all were standing, wide smiles on their faces as they were clapping. I saw Lu winking at me who was followed by Jin that did the same. This guys are really something. I chuckled to myself at the thought.

But one particular person was still in his seat. I don't know why HE was still here. His face held no expression, maybe he was surprised that this drama was going to be a different story and he didn't enjoy it as he expected. One way or another, I really don't care right now but still his presence annoyed me but I brushed it off, because this moment that I, so longed for and my happiness weighed more than my rude boss and he was to be dealt with on another day but not tonight.
