11. The Ball

With a nervous smile, Jungwon approached Jane. "Hello Jane." He said and she returned the greeting with a bright smile.
She was wearing a gorgeous turquoise off-shoulder dress, her hair was up in a bun.

"Let's go down. . .?" He asked, holding out his arm for her. Then quickly adding to his sentence he said, "I hope Ricky won't hex me for this, haha."

Jane chuckled. "He won't."

They went down in the Great Hall, arms locked with eachothers. Jungwon nervously stared at everyone. Tonight everyone looked different now that they weren't in their school robes. The whole place looked somewhat like a muggle birthday party.

The Ravenclaw looked around, scanning the area for his brothers and also, Kim Sunoo. When he found the said boy walking down the stairs in a black dress robe, arms interlocked with another boy, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his chest. Deciding to ignore the feeling, he smiled and walked towards them.

Sunoo smiled upon seeing Jungwon. "You look really handsome, Won!" He exclaimed with a giggle. "Who's your partner?" He asked then.

"Jennifer Reddrose. I suppose you don't ㅡ "

"Oh my goodness! She's brilliant in Wizard's Chess!" Sunoo exclaimed, interrupting Jungwon's sentence.

"Oh yeah. . .I guess ㅡ you know everyone." Said he with a laugh.

"Um ㅡ er ㅡ Sunoo?" A voice interrupted their talking. Sunoo immediately turned to the voice and smiled. "Yes? Oh, sorry ㅡ wait a minute."

Then he turned to Jungwon, smiling ever so beautifully. "I'm sorry Won, I've got to spend some time with my date too. . .have a nice evening! See ya!" Saying, he turned his heels and walked away with Ni-Ki.

Suddenly Jungwon felt as if he could hurt Ni-Ki. He felt a rage towards him as he glared at the said boy's back.

Jane placed a hand on his shoulder breaking Jungwon's trance. He immediately turned around. She smiled at him, "Are you alright?"

"I ㅡ I. . .yes. I'm OK."

"Are you up for a dance? Everyone's dancing, you know." Said Jane as she stared at the dance floor longingly. Jungwon followed her gaze and noticed that she wanted to dance so badly and as her date, he should be taking her to the dance.

"If we fall, it's on you." He said and extended his hand to her. Jane chuckled before taking it.

"Oh don't worry, I'll teach you."

"Now, place your hand on my waist ㅡ "

"What? "

"And this hand ㅡ here, right. Now, sway your body to the music."

Following the instructions, Jungwon tried to dance with Jane, given that she's taller than him, it was making the dance very uncomfortable.

They swayed their bodies to the slow music but Jungwon's eyes were focused on a certain someone who seemed to be enjoying alot. He isn't sure why he feels outraged with Ni-Ki so much today.

The music changed into an energetic tune and Jane let go of Jungwon, enjoying by herself. Taking the chance, Jungwon left the place and sat on a lone chair, thinking about what he felt at the moment.

Why am I feeling so violent towards someone who hasn't harmed me. He thought, his face scrunched up in annoyence as he stared down at his shoes.
