I watched her.

The way her body moved to the beat of the music, the way the sweat glistened in the strobe lights as it fell to the ground below, and the way her slim fingers ran though her sweat damp hair trying to keep it out of her face. Yes, I watched her. My eyes on her went unnoticed but then again she probably wouldn't have noticed me even if I was right next to her. The music had taken her hostage and she was lost in its captivity. If anyone saw me right now they would probably call me a stalker with the way I stared at this girl. Maybe I was at this moment but honestly I didn't care because this girl had captured me and I didn't even want to escape.

Your POV

As the music came to a stop you finally opened your eyes to the world around you. The strobe lights burned bright as you fought to readjust them to your surroundings. The sweat was starting to pour off you like a collection of your own personal rain droplets.

You had fought against your friend when she suggested kidnapping you and bringing you to the town rave tonight. Oddly enough you found you were having fun. You hated when she was right. The music and atmosphere had certainly healed you of your worries like she said it would.

"Y/N!" Your friend yelled over the sound of the DJ trying to hype everyone up with his words.

You moved your ear towards her mouth when she motioned for you to come close to her. "Bathroom?" She said a bit quieter this time.

You nod your head and run your hand through your hair one last time before she grabs your hand and starts leading you through the crowd of ravers clad in their skimpy black clothes and various light up accessories. Once you were out of the hot dance area and into the hall leading to the exits and restrooms you shivered a bit from the now cool air hitting your overheated body. Your friend led you down the hall to the women's restroom and you let out a sigh of relief upon noticing the line wasn't long for once.

You hurried to the end of the line before anyone else could jump in front of you. "Why is there always a line at the women's but men can just waltz right in?" Your friend said pointing down the hall to the men's restroom entrance.

"One of the many unanswered questions." You said giving her a smile as she laughed at your response.

"It's just another curse given to the female species." She joked. You laughed slightly. Your friend was always the feminist type but fortunately for you not one to the extreme of most. It was a quality you always admired about her even since middle school. When you were the new kid fresh to South Korea thanks to your step father's new job offer.

You had been in school a whole week without being noticed by anyone other than the school bullies. Krystal was the only one to stick up for you when everyone else laughed at the popular girls picking on the new girl. She gave school meaning after that. Being from different areas made school pretty much the only place you saw each other unless over breaks you actually got permission to see each other. Because of her school actually became the best place for you. Better than being at home.

You were pulled out of your thoughts when your friend brought you forward in line. "Stop spacing out." She teased you.

Standing still in the line did nothing but make the sweat on your face way more noticeable. "Do you have a tissue?" You asked your friend.

She immediately started rummaging through the oversize bag you got her for her birthday last year. Actually it was a re-gift but she loved it so much you just didn't have the heart to tell her as such. You stood watching her shifting all her many items around the bottom when a tissue was shoved into your field of vision. Without thinking you took the tissue and started patting yourself dry of the sweat." Thank you."

"You're welcome." The person said. You suddenly jump around startled because even muffled you could tell the voice was male. He stood still as you looked him over while you tightened your grip slightly on your friends arm making her wince from the pain you were now causing.

He was wearing a face mask which explained the muffled voice but with the bucket hat he wore on his head you couldn't make out any other features. His eyes were even covered. His clothes were like the rest of the other ravers, all black. A shiver ran down your spine before you pulled yourself together and finally spoke "you scared me."

He held both his hands in front of him and took a step back. "I am sorry. I was passing by when you asked for a tissue so I just handed you one of mine." He explained while waving another tissue back and forth slowly in the air.

Your friend quickly detached your hands from her arm and moved in front of the man. "Don't be sorry. Y/N just scares easily." She said obviously flirting. Which brought a small smile to your face and you couldn't stop the chuckle that escaped.

The man bent slightly to look over your friends shoulder completely ignoring her which shocked you because you had never seen any man ignore Krystal. "Still I am sorry none the less." He stated before passing by your friend to move right in front of you.

With him being right in front of your face you can finally see his eyes. It was like they were dancing in the lights in the dimmed hallway. You found yourself getting lost in them. "So forgive me?" He asked and you could tell he was saying it jokingly but his voice seemed like a song which sent shivers down your spine. He stood there staring at you.

Finally you came out of your trance to slowly nod your head yes to him. Which made him stand back up straight and say "was that a yes?"

You gave a shaky response back to him confirming what he thought was right before he stepped back and said "Good!" You both stood a distance apart just looking at each other until your friend grabbed your arm and said "if we don't move now we will miss our turn."

She started pulling you toward the bathroom door but you managed to look back towards where the man was. You wanted to say goodbye but as you looked you realized he was gone. You stared for a second more before letting your friend pull you into the bathroom and shrugging off the weird experience.

His POV

I ran as fast as I could to the exit. Too close. I was too close. I pushed the front door open and ran into the dark alleyway. The cool night air helped to cool me down for what felt like the first time in ages. I wiped the sweat that had gathered underneath my hat. I could feel my heart pounding in my rib cage. The sound was so loud in my ears. I leaned myself up against the cold brick wall behind me and tried to control my breathing. Did she notice? Did she react this way?

I closed my eyes trying to clear all the questions my mind was asking. All it did was remind me of her eyes. Her beautiful E/C haunted eyes. They looked like a summer storm raging. "Some things never change huh, Y/N?" I said before pulling my hat back down, putting my sweaty palms inside my pockets, and finally making my way back home.
