The clock struck twelve but unlike Cinderella, you grabbed your worn out converse, your bluetooth speaker and your phone before it could make any noise for you to sneak out successfully.

Not that you hadn't done this before. Precisely you've been doing this for the past three weeks. Dancing untill the sunrise in your brother's dance studio and the feeling wasn't just amazing, it keep the blood rushing through your body and kept you alive.

Starting by stretching out and cracking all those air bubbles in the various edges of your body, you put your hair into a top bun and knotted you top ready to master the choreography in front of you.

But it isn't as easy as it seems. The mirror in front of you has been telling you way too many times that you couldn't do that one twirl without a partner. But who would want to dance with you? A nobody who couldn't even get the confidence to enroll in a dance academy.

" You need some help over there? "

Now usually people are relieved when they find their prince charming but when your prince charming arrives without announcing his presence that too at midnight your first instinct is to close your eyes and scream.

Oh and scream you did.

" AHHHHHHHHHHHHH "

" Shhh quiet down." The figure said from behind as he was closing your mouth. You were taken aback by the deep voice almost tickling your earlobe as you squinted your eyes to see who it was in your reflection in the mirror.

" Mhmsjm? "

" I'm sorry I don't speak muffled. " He said with a smirk and you immediately removed his hand from your mouth.

" Lee know? " You asked both him and yourself again. Why was the academy's prized possession standing behind you, looking at you catching your breath. What? Screaming takes up a part of your lung capacity as well you know?

" Not surprised that you know my name. Now who may you be princess?"

" Y/n. Lee y/n. " You said gulping as if you were guilty. But then you realised,

" Wait what are you doing here at this hour? "

" I could be asking you the same question princess. "

You squinted your eyes at him again. Two could play at this game.

" First of all stop calling me princess. Secondly, I don't know why you are here but I won't ask if you won't. Thirdly when are you leaving? "

" Ooooh. Fiesty. But sorry I'm not leaving any soon. I have to practice as well and I don't think I need to follow your rules, princess. "

You clicked your tongue on the roof of your mouth in annoyance. You knew you had lost your freedom over the practice room and you didn't like the feeling.

" Just-just mind your own business. "

" Exactly what I was doing before you squealed. " He scoffed.

" I didn't- " Then you realised he had put his airpods on and you decided not to waste your breath.

But you did indeed lose your breath, trying out that partner-less twirl the next few nights. Math was running out angles of you trying to ace the twirl and you know that twirl would complete your performance. You tried to set it aside and learn the rest of your choreography or even start a new one but your stubborn mind couldn't focus.

And yes, Lee know did offer to help but not in a way that wouldn't help but hurt your pride. For example he would be like,

" These twirls were made for princesses with princes. You want me to be your prince? "

" Have fun practicing with your imaginary partner, princess. "

" I'm sure you can't resist me that much princess. Even your twirl says so. "

Every time he said something with his darned smirk and his stupid nickname of yours, you wanted rip his throat out.

And yes, you could give up on the twirl but you hated giving up. You were searching for motivation and you couldn't help but admit that the person practicing next to you was exactly giving you what you needed.

Lost in his own world connecting by his airpods there he was, practicing the right amount of control he needed to perform every step, his eyes focused on his reflection and thankfully not your own in the corner staring at him. His flirty smirks did bring some flush to your cheeks but it was this image of him that brought you to awe. It annoyed you at how precise he was and that made you stand up once again.

" One two three and-

There you were staring into another pair of eyes which were now keeping a close watch onto the way your silhouette moved. It made you nervous that someone was watching you, which was why you were here, dancing in the moonlight.

But you kept that bubble of nervousness folded inside your body as you got ready for the twirl once again. This time your moves were slowly joined by his own moves. You were confused, your eyes meeting his in the mirror as if you were asking what he was doing but he just picked you up and helped you twirl as if it was nothing.

The moment didn't end there , your eyes were now locked into each other's as you completed the choreography from there. It was as if he memorized it by heart and you couldn't help but feel the tension. The teasing distance between you two caused hysteria inside of you but you were more focused on the way you both moved to think about anything else.

With the last beat you ended up in his arms the moment still strong to last a lifetime. Nobody moved, not like you wanted him to move, no sound was heard, yet the silence was so loud.

His eyes, hypnotizing your own as you both were caught up in the moment in each other's arms scanning each other's faces not really taking the heavy environment around into consideration.

Finally blinking you realised what was happening you shifted your stance almost losing your balance. Almost, because his hands were now tightly secured around your waist his eyes never leaving yours.

" Can I kiss you? " He whispered as if he revealed his darkest secret. Your eyes searched for his for any humor, but when you realised he was serious you'd didn't think twice to attach your lips to his.

Maybe you were too passionate because he started stroking your cheek as if he were asking you to calm down. His other free hand roaming around, fiddling with your bare midriff while your fingers were tangled in his hair. It was both of your own performance which you felt you had performed perfectly untill you both were interrupted.

" REALLY?!? MY SISTER?!? "

You were greeted by the furious face of your brother, Lee Felix.

" He's your brother?!? " He asked you with wide eyes to which you couldn't help but answer with a slight nod as you still haven't calmed down from the recent past.

" AND YOU LEE Y/N, This  is where you have been escaping to every night? "

" Umm I can explain- " Lee know said but that was enough for your brother to pounce on him.

" OH YOU BETTER EXPLAIN BEFORE I CATCH YOU-

And that started them to run around the room with Felix trying to throw punches at Lee know while he was trying to grab your attention to help him.

What were you doing? Ahhh you were sitting down in the middle touching your now swollen lips and smiling, finally achieving the twirl, both thanks to
Lee know.
