The party continued on, music booming and lights swerving around. Jaehyun sat on a chair while his head was on his hands. He was regretting. He shouldn't have done that. Jungwoo pats his back, while Lucas tries to do same. Taeil tries comforting Jaehyun by telling him that it was just Taeyong's way of reacting, and to not take it seriously.

Jaehyun grabbed a fistful of his hair and gripped it tightly, he loosed his collar button and removed his bowtie. He kept chanting how stupid he was. His girlfriend, Hyojung, wasn't happy either. She kept shouting at him about how he cheated at her, her voice battling with the loud music. It was a good thing the music was winning.

Sooner or later, the music changed into a slow song once more, a different song again. Everything died down and Jaehyun wanted to run after the older. He told Jungwoo and Taeil, who were now being dragged by their date. He dashed towards the exit and ran through the halls, tracing Taeyong's tracks.

Taeyong kept running. His legs felt like giving up and the loud beating of his heart double, not only from the kiss. He stopped and leaned on the wall. He was holding his chest to catch his breath. The tears were brimming his doe eyes.

"Taeyong!" He turned around and saw a figure running towards him. He tried to run again but his wrist were caught.

"Why did you run away?!" He shouted at the frail boy. His body shaking from the mixed emotion.

"I'm sorry, I can't do this, I don't want this anymore" Taeyong hugged him, burying his head on his chest. Tears were running like an open faucet. The water would not stop.

"Let's go home" He moved Taeyong gently to his side, while his arms were still around him. They walked towards the exit, ignoring the loud music.

Jaehyun ran and ran. Good thing he was athletic and he was able to see a glimpse of Taeyong's blonde hair, bouncing around. But Jaehyun stopped, his heart cracked like penetrated ice. Taeyong had his arms around a boy,

Johnny.

He punched the wall and slid down to the floor. Exhausted and sorrow devoured him. He felt betrayed, how can Johnny do such a thing to him? Jaehyun has told Johnny that he was slowly liking Taeyong but Johnny didn't tell him that he already has the blonde boy's heart.

Jaehyun walked back to the gymnasium, his legs dragging his pathetic being back. His heart felt heavy and he just feel frustrated.

Taeil and Doyoung slow danced to the gentle music that played. Taeil saw Jaehyun walking back empty handed, his head hung low and legs creating friction with the floor. He stared at his boyfriend before signaling that Jaehyun's back.

Jaehyun sat back down on a chair and burying his face in his palms. He broke down and the tears soaked his face. Taeil and Doyoung patted his back. He sniffed and cried quietly, not wanting to cause a scene.

"Attention everyone! This will be the last song for the night, so grab your partner tightly and dance the night away. Have yourselves a lovely and romantic Valentine's Day!" Ten, the emcee sounded so melancholic with his announcement and he gave a weak smile before walking off the stage slowly and going to the restroom.

Many wondered why Ten sounded so heartbroken but eventually shifted their eyes to their beaux and belles. The song started to play and every couple on the dance floor looked at their partner and swayed to the song. Heads would be rested on their partner's neck, and some had their foreheads resting on one another.

"Give me reasons we should be complete
You should be with him, I can't compete
You looked at me like I was someone else, oh well
Can't you see? (Can't you see?)
I don't wanna slow dance (I don't wanna slow dance)
In the dark, dark"

Jaehyun lifted his head on the chorus, and saw the couples dancing to the music. His heart wrenched at the imagination of Johnny and Taeyong dancing to the song.

Jaehyun was sad that he doesn't have someone to hold right now, he's sad because he made Taeyong sad, he's sad because Taeyong didn't end up in his arms and slow danced with him under the gentle blue lights and surrounded with pink balloons.

SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK
