𐚁 ݁. . .         she  had  long  noticed  hyunsoo's  softness  toward  her,  and  she  wasn't  oblivious  to  the  lingering  glances  he'd  cast  whenever  she  was  around.  though  the  ever  watchful  presence  of  his  little  sister  acted  as  a  reliable  buffer.  now,  with  said  sister  out  of  the  picture  and  her  own  judgment  thoroughly  clouded  by  liquor,  she  knew  full  well  they  were  toeing  a  very  fine  line.  her  gaze  flicked  from  his  hand  to  his  face,  a  grin  tugging  at  her  lips  as  she  brazenly  parted  her  thighs,  subtly  giving  him  more  space  should  he  want  it,  "  really  ?  more  fun  than  a  sleepover  huh  ?  "  one  brow  arched  playfully,  she  could  already  tell  this  night  was  shaping  up  to  be  far  more  eventful  than  anticipated.  and  maybe,  just  maybe,  sending  that  message  to  the  wrong  hyun  had  been  the  universe  doing  her  a  favor.  "  what  should  we  do  ?  "

          when  millie  was  giving  green  light  to  him,  all  he  could  do  was  just  nod  his  head  and  smile,  knowing  he  was  gonna  have  her  with  him,  without  the  sister  being  around  and  yelling  at  him  to  leave  millie  alone.  hyunsoo  knows  that  hanna  was  really  protective  over  her  friends,  especially  millie  and  maybe  it  was  for  the  best,  but  -  hyunsoo  would  never  back  down,  he  always  went  after  what  he  wanted  and  in  this  situation  it  happened  to  be  her  ;  millie.  ❛  you  can  call  it  a  sleepover,  i  think  we  are  too  old  for  that  now,  no  ?  ❜  teasing  her  as  he  takes  a  quick  peek  at  her.  ❛  we  are  gonna  have  so  much  more  fun  than  just  a  sleepover.  ❜  his  hand  moves,  casually  placed  on  her  thigh  to  pat  at  it,  wanting  to  squeeze  but,  that  was  for  much  later.

[milinight]

𐚁 ݁. . .         the  excitement  still  hummed  beneath  her  skin  as  millie  opened  the  door  to  her  usual  bedroom.  "  i  really  should  unpack  .  .  "  she  mumbled  to  herself,  fully  aware  that  if  she  didn't  do  it  now,  she'd  procrastinate  until  it  became  a  chaotic  mess.  so  immersed  in  folding  and  sorting,  she  didn't  even  notice  jisung's  quiet  entrance,  "  oh  !  god,  you  scared  me  .  .  "  her  surprise  melted  the  second  his  scent  wrapped  around  her,  grounding  her  in  a  way  only  he  could.  she  tilted  her  head,  welcoming  his  kisses  with  a  dreamy  sigh,  a  smile  appearing  on  her  face,  "  it  was  an  invitation,  baby.  i'm  glad  you  caught  onto  it.  "  resuming  her  task  of  unloading  shirts  from  her  carry-on  to  the  dresser.  "  are  you  done  unpacking  ?  "  she  asked,  glancing  back  to  face  him,  fingers  squeezing  around  his  hand  before  she  turns  around  fully,  her  arms  lazily  looping  around  his  neck,  gaze  soft  and  full  of  that  same  wonder  she  always  had  when  she  looked  at  him.

 "  i  do  want  to  take  a  drive  out  and  watch  the  sunset  and  maybe  the  sunrise  ?  doesn't  have  to  be  on  the  same  day,  of  course.  "  she  murmured,  fingers  playing  with  his  hair  as  she  pressed  close,  already  molded  against  him  like  she  belonged  there.  the  magnetic  pull  between  them  hadn't  lessened.  in  fact,  that  one  fateful  night  had  only  made  it  stronger.  "  orrrr  we  can  go  skinny  dipping  at  some  point  ?  "  she  added,  eyes  gleaming  with  mischief,  her  grin  matching  the  bold  suggestion.  "  i  don't  think  i've  ever  done  that—  ooh  !  and  we  can  go  in  the  hot  tub,  but  maybe  when  everyone  is  asleep  ?  when  they're  all  awake,  it'll  be  boring.  "  she  pouted,  lips  pursed  dramatically  as  her  hand  slid  up  to  gently  sweep  his  dark  hair  back  from  his  forehead.  "  what  about  you  ?  is  there  anything  you'd  like  to  do  while  we're  here  ?  i  really  want  to  make  the  most  out  of  our  time  away  from  a  lot  of  people.  "  after  all,  this  trip  wasn't  just  hers  to  enjoy,  she  wanted  to  check  every  box  on  his  secret  wishlist  too.

       the  cheekiness  of  millie  never  failed  to  baffle  him,  loving  how  easily  she  was  catching  the  ball  he  threw  in  the  air  for  her,  always  a  comeback  in  her  bag  for  him.   "  i  don't  doubt  that  one  bit,  millie  ...  you've  already  proven  that.  "   responding  as  the  last  words  they  exchange  as  the  pilot  are  announcing  their  landing  time  and  the  route  to  the  summerhouse  is  giving  them  no  time  to  touch  each  other,  as  a  moving  hand  would  probably  be  caught  by  piercing  eyes  of  their  family  members   ;   cursing  at  himself  mentally  for  not  ensuring  a  rental  car  for  the  two  of  them,  instead  making  a  note  to  perhaps  get  that  for  them  later  on,  just  so  they  could  go  wherever,  whenever,  they  wished  to.  arriving  at  their  beloved  summerhouse,  the  one  where  the  two  families  had  met  since  they  were  children,  but  the  vibe  was  so  much  more  different  this  time   ;   jisung  locking  eyes  with  millie  and  it's  like  there's  a  smirk  instantaneously  finding  place  on  his  lips  at  her  small  information.  any  other  summer  jisung  hadn't  paid  attention  to  it  but,  this  time  it  was  an  opening  for  the  two  of  them.

watching  the  femme  leave  the  group,  whereas  jisung  had  been  instructed  in  at  least  helping  jiwon  with  her  luggage  before  unpacking.   "  i'll  meet you  at  the  dinner  later,  i  might  just  cool  off  a  bit  in  my  room  after  the  plane  ride.  "   luckily  having  the  excuse  that  his  job  consisted  of  editing  videos  so,  his  disappearance  never  rose  many  question  marks  around  the  dining  table  if  he  was  late   —-   millie,  on  the  other  hand,  there  would  be  questions.  after  helping  his  little  sister,  he's  only  placing  his  luggage  inside  his  side  room  before  making  his  way  to  the  women's  room   ;   not  even  knocking  on  the  door  as  he's  pushing  it  open  and  eyes  find  her  silhouette  busily  unpacking  her  carrier  and  he  then  closes  the  door  behind  him  and  makes  a  playful  whistling  sound  toward  her.   "  i  hope  that  was  a  silent  invitation  ~  "   striding  closer  to  his  girlfriend  and  arms  slide  around  her  middle  from  behind,  gently  pulling  her  into  his  embrace  to  allow  her  back  flushed  with  his  front   ;   chin  nestling  at  the  top  of  her  shoulder,  angling  face  enough  to  start  a  trail  of  kisses  along  length  of  shoulder  to  her  nape.   "  anything  in  particular  you  wanna  do  this  summer,  baby  ?  "   voice  is  low  as  lips  were  leveled  near  her  ear,  fingers  gliding  between  gaps  of  her  own  where  their  hands  fit  perfectly  together.

𐚁 ݁. . .         millie  was  indeed  racking  her  brain  on  what  excuse  to  give  hanna,  so  hyunsoo's  suggestion,  joking  or  not,  actually  sounded  like  a  decent  plan.  "  if  you're  fine  with  her  not  knowing,  i'm  alright  with  it  too.  "  and  it  wasn't  like  the  lee  residence  was  cramped  .  .  if  her  place  was  a  mansion,  theirs  was  practically  a  palace.  his  comment  sent  the  butterflies  in  her  stomach  into  a  frenzy,  was  this  how  he  usually  charmed  people  ?  "  i  suppose  i  can  just  stay  with  you,  if  that's  alright  .  .  besides,  she  didn't  want  to  go  out  tonight  with  us  because  she  said  she  was  going  to  bed  early.  "  a  convenient  truth,  but  still  the  truth.  surely,  not  disturbing  her  best  friend  was  a  noble  enough  reason  to  spend  the  night  in  hyunsoo's  company.  "  are ��we  having  an  impromptu  sleepover,  then  ?  "  she  teases,  tilting  her  head  with  a  mischievous  smile  in  his  direction.

          when  she  comes  to  ask  him  a  question,  something  warm  flutters  in  his  chest,  which  causes  him  to  smile  from  ear  to  ear,  thankfully  the  car  was  dark  and  the  night  above  them,  so  it  wasn't  easy  to  be  seen.  even  now  looking  at  her  now  and  then.  ❛  elsewhere  ?  ❜  he  repeats  her  question,  chuckling  away.  ❛  how  about  you  stay  in  my  room  instead,  she  doesn't  need  to  know.  ❜  throwing  it  as  a  joke,  always  wanting  and  needing  to  get  some  kind  of  a  reaction  from  millie,  like  he  was  craving  for  it.  ❛  my  place  it  is,  nowhere  else  to  be.  ❜  stepping  on  the  pedal  to  make  sure  he  was  speeding  a  little,  after  all  he  was  driving  a  sports  car  and  wanted  to  show  off  a  little,  but  it  was  fine  if  she  didn't  care.  ❛  spend  the  night  with  me.  ❜  and  that  was  for  millie  to  take  it  any  way  she  wanted  to.

[milinight]

𐚁 ݁. . .         even  without  a  direct  yes  or  no,  millie  understood  his  answer  well,  "  mmm,  i  suppose  so.  "  he  had  always  been  kind  to  her,  dangerously  so,  which  made  it  all  the  more  difficult  not  to  find  him  attractive.  but  hanna's  warning  against  that  echoed  loud  and  clear  in  her  head,  and  millie  had  every  intention  of  honoring  it.  "  thank  you.  "  still,  being  this  close  to  him  wasn't  exactly  helping  her  appeal  to  the  logical  part  of  her  brain.  offering  a  small,  sheepish  smile,  she  turned  her  gaze  out  the  window  as  the  car  pulled  away,  doing  her  best  to  avoid  looking  directly  at  hyunsoo.  "  well,  actually,  i  was  going  to  ask  if  we  can  hang  out  elsewhere  first  ?  i  can't  go  back  home  yet,  i  just  snuck  out.  "  she  explains  simply,  before  turning  to  face  him  with  hopeful  eyes,  "  maybe  to  yours  first  ?  i  can  stay  with  your  sister,  or  something  ?  "  

          closing  the  door  behind  her  when  she  was  seated  in  the  car,  then  sitting  there  himself  as  he  looks  over  at  millie,  just  smiling.  ❛  she  doesn't  need  to  know  everything  i  do.  ❜  which  was  a  clear  sign,  he  had  not  told  her  anything  that  he  was  picking  her  up.  leaning  forward  suddenly,  pulling  the  seatbelt  to  let  it  hug  around  her  frame,  just  to  keep  her  safe.  ❛  you  forgot  to  put  the  seatbelt.  ❜  he  says,  looking  at  her,  that  same  stupid  crooked  smirk  on  his  features  and  then  pulls  away.  ❛  i  should  take  you  to  our  place  instead,  i  think  she  would  like  to  know  you  are  all  safe.  ❜  his  smirk  soon  a  big  grin  on  his  features  when  he  starts  to  drive.  of  course  he  wanted  millie  to  come  over,  or  even  better.  if  he  could  actually  go  to  her  place.  ❛  choose,  mine  or  yours  ?  ❜

[milinight]

𐚁 ݁. . .         seeing  her  drunken  messages  lighting  up  his  screen,  millie  does  what  anyone  else  would  do  .  .  she  tries  to  play  it  cool,  even  if  her  cheeks  are  already  burning  with  shame. "  y  .  .  es.  that's  me  !  s-sorry,  must  be  super  drunk  that  i  forgot  already.  "  laughing  it  off,  this  was  definitely  better  than  admitting  she  meant  to  text  her  ex  flame.  clearing  her  throat  with  false  composure,  she  musters  a  sweet  smile  in  his  direction,  "  thank  you,  that'll  be  great.  "  after  all,  her  best  friend  would  probably  rather  see  her  safely  escape  a  party  than  end  up  on  the  news.  plus,  this  was  the  first  time  she  was  getting  one-on-one  time  with  hyunsoo  outside  of  third-wheeling  sibling  hangouts.  "  oh,  did  you  tell  hanna  that  you  were  going  to  pick  me  up  ?  "  she  asks,  sliding  into  his  car  with  his  gentlemanly  assist,  already  bracing  herself  if  the  answer  was  anything  but  no.

           head  turning  when  he  hears  the  familiar  voice  saying  his  name.  confused  as  ever,  just  like  she  was.  ❛  you  texted  me.  ❜  he  says,  walking  towards  the  wobbling  female,  she  was  clearly  drunk  out  of  her  mind.  ❛  you  asked  me  to  pick  you  up,  no  ?  ❜  fishing  th  device  out  of  his  pocket  and  showing  the  messages  she  has  sent.  ❛  this  is  you,  right  ?  your  number  and  all  ?  ❜  brows  raising  as  he  looks  at  her,  eyes  shamelessly  scanning  her.  even  in  the  drunken  stage,  she  was  stunning  as  ever.  stupid  smirk  of  a  smile  tugs  at  the  corner  of  his  lips.  ❛  were  you  expecting  someone  else  ?  ❜  licking  over  his  lips  before  teeth  press  against  the  soft  of  his  lower  lip,  biting  on  it.  ❛  get  in  the  car,  i'll  take  you  home.  ❜  his  hand  moves,  pressing  against  the  small  of  her  back  so  he  could  guide  her.

[milinight]

𐚁 ݁. . .         staring  down  at  her  phone,  millie  still  hadn't  pieced  together  that  she'd  messaged  the  wrong  person,  though  the  radio  silence  should've  been  clue  enough.  hyunmin  typically  replied  in  0.2  seconds,  especially  when  alcohol  was  involved.  "  tsk,  i'm  just  going  to  go  down  and  wait  in  front  for  him.  "  excusing  herself  with  the  unsteady  poise  of  someone  who  thinks  they're  walking  in  a  straight  line.  she  wobbles  her  way  down  the  stairs  of  the  club,  navigating  through  the  sweaty  bodies  like  a  drunk  pinball,  "  ew,  get  off  me.  "  she  snaps  when  one  overly  eager  partygoer  tries  to  tug  her  in,  shoving  him  off  with  surprising  strength  before  finally  emerging  into  the  fresher  air  outside.  her  tequila-blurred  eyes  scan  the  area,  steps  uneven,  until  they  land  on  a  familiar  car—  though  not  that  familiar.  "  h-hyunsoo  ?  "  she  squints  at  the  tall  figure  by  the  vehicle,  eyes  narrowing.  "  w-what  are  you  doing  here  ?  "  drunk millie  asks,  blinking  hard  at  her  best  friend's  older  brother  like  she  could  will  the  night  into  making  more  sense.  

          laying  on  his  bed  as  flood  of  messages  come  to  ping  his  phone  up,  one  after  another.  head  turning  to  look  at  the  phone  vibrating  next  to  him.  pushing  himself  up  enough  to  lean  against  his  elbow,  body  turned  and  unlocking  the  screen.  ❛  huh  ?  ❜  confusion  hits  him  at  first,  then  a  smile  forming.  ❛  she  wants  me  to  pick  her  up  ?  ❜  to  him,  it  was  weird  that  millie  was  texting  him  like  this,  she  never  did  so.  getting  off  the  bed  finally  just  to  put  on  a  hoodie  and  picking  keys.  before  he  knew  he  was  already  on  his  way  to  the  location  she  had  shared.  ❛  drunk  she  said  ?  this  is  gonna  be  interesting.  ❜  pulling  up  to  the  parking  lot  and  turning  the  car  off,  he  steps  out  of  the  vehicle  and  looks  around,  where  was  she  ?

𐚁 ݁. . .         "  i'm  gonna  .  .  "  she  hiccups,  "  text  hyunmin  to  come  pick  me  up.  "  and  with  that  declaration,  millie,  blissfully  drunk  and  draped  across  the  shoulder  of  a  university  friend  in  the  VIP  booth  of  the  club,  begins  her  mission.  her  glassy  eyes  squint  at  the  screen,  thumbs  fumbling  as  her  friend  desperately  tries  to  pry  the  phone  from  her  grip,  murmuring  that  texting  her  most  toxic  ex  was  possibly  the  worst  idea  of  the  night.  but  millie  was  past  the  point  of  caring,  as  she  just  wanted  to  go  home.  launching  the  messaging  app  with  determination,  she  scrolls  through  her  contacts,  zeroing  in  on  the  name  she  assumes  is  hyunmin  and  begins  typing  furiously.  a  string  of  messages  fired  off  in  rapid,  tipsy  succession  before  she  slumps  backward  in  exhaustion.  except,  as  fate  (  and  a  few  too  many  tequila  shots  )  would  have  it,  she  hadn't  messaged  hyunmin  at  all.  nope.  because  those  texts  went  straight  to  another  one  of  her  '  banned  '  numbers  .  .  they  were  sent  to  hyunsoo  instead.

𐚁 ݁. . .         playfully  swerving  the  attempted  kiss  with  a  mock  gasp,  millie  breaks  into  laughter.  a  much-needed  release  after  the  chaos  they'd  just  lived  through.  not  that  she'd  mind  kissing  her  best  friend  of  course,  who  would  ?  "  i  could  tell  .  .  i've  never  seen  you  go  full  feral  like  that  before  !  i  mean,  i've  seen  you  wild,  sure,  but  that  .  .  that  was  next-level  spicy.  you  were  unhinged  in  the  best  way  possible  !  "  she  points  out,  unable  to  hide  her  admiration  for  the  spectacle  she'd  just  witnessed.

 wriggling  out  of  her  constrictive  top  and  the  micro  skirt,  she  exhales  like  someone  who's  just  escaped  a  very  fashionable  prison,  slipping  into  something  far  more  forgiving  and  much  closer  to  adriana's  current  outfit  as  well.  she  shoves  her  club  clothes  into  her  gym  bag  without  a  second  thought.  "  let's  just  take  a  walk,  you're  totally  right  !  might  as  well,  since  we  did  not  get  to  dance  much  tonight.  aaaand  also,  we  have  to  work  up  a  proper  appetite.  ramen's  a  sacred  ritual,  after  all  !  "

 as  they  meander  toward  the  restaurant,  adriana's  question  lands  like  a  sucker  punch  to  the  gut.  as  much  as  millie  wanted  to  call  the  cops,  the  risk  was  too  high.  "  no,  really,  it's  fine.  i'm  sure  he's  sufficiently  scarred  for  life  now  after  that.  "  she  replies  breezily,  masking  the  weight  of  what  she  didn’t  say—  like  how  her  carefully  curated  double  life  could  crumble  if  word  ever  got  back  to  her  parents.

 that  lingering  thought  gnaws  at  her.  maybe  it  was  time  to  tell  adriana  the  truth  ?  that  she  wasn't  a  struggling  dancer  making  ends  meet,  but  someone  who  wore  a  different  mask  once  the  sun  comes  out.  an  academic-achieving,  trust  fund  baby.  she'd  been  meaning  to  open  up  anyway,  just  never  sure  how.  "  riri,  what  made  you  want  to  start  dancing  at  the  club  ?  "  the  question  leaves  her  lips  gently,  a  subtle  nudge  toward  vulnerability,  eyes  glinting  with  curiosity  and  hope  that  this  might  swing  the  doorway  to  something  deeper.

༊⋆｡˚                       as soon as she noted millie walking through the doors —- she felt a sigh of relief as she ran over to her and embraced her ; their skin clammy from the sweat ridden routines under the piercing hot lights . ❛ anything for you , baby girl ! ❜ shrill giggles escaping as she puckered her lips for a teasing ( mock ) kiss . the only person in the world adriana felt truly comfortable with . didn’t know what she’d do without her .

❛ i was eager to cause a scene anyway but the second i saw his damned camera —- i may have seen red ! ❜ smirk curving against her pout as she nudged the femme and started slipping on her sweats . felt good to be in the comfort of cotton joggers & a oversized hoodie —- high tops cushioning aching feet from heels . ❛ ugh yes , screw this shift ! that security guard held my arm so tightly .. i’m totally gonna bruise ! ❜

the game plan sounded wonderful —- she was just eager to get out of this damned vicinity . as they wandered out arm in arm , riri pointed towards a taxi , ❛ are we wanting to take a taxi or walk ? ❜ the nights air was fresh —- but oh did it feel amazing from being cooped up inside for hours on end .

❛ maybe we should walk actually .. burn the calories off before we eat them ! ❜ cheeky expression ‘pon features as she listened to the hustle and bustle of the nightlife . enjoyed it if she was being perfectly honest . but there were dangers of the job . ❛ hey , mills .. ❜ gaze flickering towards her bestie , genuine concern in her eyes , ❛ are you sure you're okay with what just happened in there ? we can contact the police if so —- ❜

𐚁 ݁. . .         walking with the confidence of a woman on a mission, millie effortlessly weaves her way through the party crowd, tailing the pair just within earshot. brows arching as she eavesdrops, and oh, what a delightful serving of tea she's getting within minutes, too. when they finally stop by the kitchen island, she casually lingers nearby, grabbing whatever bottle's in reach and mixing a chaotic blend of hard liquor and soda. once isaac appears, she flashes him a bright grin, " hey ! nice of you to join me on my . . mission. " a playful wink follows as she surveys the scene again, eyes flicking toward the couple who judging by their faces, are deep in a not-so-pleasant exchange. " well, apparently, there's a third party. one of them's already claimed. " she murmurs, leaning back against the counter while keeping close to her best friend, " he's dating someone else from another school. but he promised to end it real soon. " she raises a skeptical brow, the pulsing music conveniently covering their low conversation, " what do you think ? is she getting played ? "

there were actually plenty of responses that isaac could've given in that moment but at the mention of movement, he decides it's best to just continue their conversation at the watering hole. eyes glance up and every which way as he tucks his phone back into his pocket and although he would do anything to keep his warm seat for the night, isaac knows better than to leave his best friend hanging once summoned. even the hallways are thick with the smell of booze and sweat, his body shuffling between bodies of people along the way until he sees millie trying her best to keep nonchalant by the tub of beer floating in ice. "hey!" a wave and he calls out, then immediately drops a hand to his mouth in quick regret since they were supposed to be spying. "hear anything good so far?"

𐚁 ݁. . .         millie  wonders  then  just  how  many  close  calls  were  lying  in  wait  for  them  during  the  rest  of  their  stay  at  the  beach  house,  fully  aware  that  they  were  still  teetering  at  the  edge  of  this  new  dynamic,  one  where  love  and  adoration  were  no  longer  secrets  between  each  other.  "  no  regrets,  honestly.  and  i'm  probably  going  to  keep  testing  your  patience  for  the  entirety  of  this  vacay,  "  she  says  with  a  self-satisfied  lilt,  tapping  the  tip  of  his  nose  with  her  finger  in  a  playful  little  gesture,  the  other  hand  still  laced  in  his.  "  me  too,  how  i  wish.  "  unfortunately,  they  don't  get  another  moment  for  a  proper  redo  in  the  air,  as  the  rest  of  their  group  starts  to  wake  up  as  the  flight  comes  to  a  close.  a  tragedy  .  .  but  not  really—  because  to  her,  it  just  meant  they  were  one  step  closer  to  long,  lazy  summer  days  and  the  joy  of  each  other's  company.

 with  the  number  of  summers  they've  spent  at  this  beach  house  tucked  in  one  of  jeju-do's  more  secluded  areas,  millie  has  a  strong  feeling  that  this  one  would  be  the  best  of  them  all,  undoubtedly  thanks  to  jisung.  seatmates  both  on  the  flight  and  in  the  car  ride  over,  though  the  proximity  of  their  family  members  kept  their  exchanges  at  surface-level  chatter,  she  had  no  complaints.  once  they  arrived,  she  stretches  dramatically  as  she  steps  out  of  the  car,  yawning  as  if  she'd  just  run  a  marathon.  her  mom  instructs  them  all  to  get  some  rest  before  the  big  poolside  dinner  she's  planned.  complete  with  ocean  views  and  candlelit  ambiance.  jisung  earning  a  knowing  glance  from  millie  when  the  mention  of  '  free  time  '  is  dropped,  she  speaks  up,  "  okay,  perfect,  i'll  be  in  my  room  unpacking  and  resting  if  anyone  needs  me.  "  she  announces  with  casual  ease,  claiming  her  usual  suite  in  the  expansive  villa.  also,  not-so-subtly  letting  her  boyfriend  know  exactly  where  to  find  her.  tossing  a  cheeky  wink  to  him  over  her  shoulder,  she  ascends  the  staircase,  heading  left  toward  her  wing  of  the  house,  heart  already  beating  faster  at  the  thought  of  everything  that  awaits  her  and  jisung.

       acting  like  two  teenagers  who  was  trying  to  hide  away  from  everybody's  eye  sight,  a  couple  who  weren't  meant  to  happen  when  in  fact,  many  had  expected  this  from  them   —-   numerous  times  in  fact.  it  had  only  been  jisung  and  millie  alone,  who  hadn't  ever  pursued  those  fleeing  emotions  for  one  another.  however,  now  that  they  have,  it  was  like  they  had  to  catch  up  on  years  of  missing  out,  exploring  new  sides  of  each  other  they  were  still  to  witness   ;   which  wasn't  a  lot  considering  their  long  time  friendship  but,  the  more  sensual  and  loving  sides  were  still  to  be  discovered.  senses  were  heightened  due  to  the  location  they  were  currently  making  out  in,  even  if  his  mind  often  would  drift  into  a  cloudy  state   ;   wanting  to  primarily  focus  on  enjoying  this  kiss  without  a  worry  in  the  world.  especially  since  the  minor  sounds  she  made,  as  always,  woke  something  up  within  him.  tongues  were  playing  a  dangerous  game  as  the  kiss  deepened,  his  hand  gliding  down  the  curved  side  of  femme,  eventually  reaching  her  rear  and  with  a  tug  it  was  only  the  stupid  arm  rest  stopping  them  from  act  out  on  the  urges  both  seemed  to  have.

luckily  millie  hears  the  click  in  front  of  them,  as  jisung's  mind  had  already  drifted  into  another  world  where  all  his  focus  were  on  the  femme  next  to  him.  leaning  back  in  his  chair,  eyes  catching  gaze  of  her  father  and  he  smiled  at  him,  doing  a  subtle  bow  of  his  head  out  of  respect   ;   a  trait  that  jisung  always  had.  a  bow  never  hurt  anyone.   "  it's  good  that  you  heard  ...  "   murmuring  silently,  head  tipping  into  her  direction  and  tongue  is  seen  tracing  out  over  his  pair  of  lips,  gaze  dropping  down  to  her  plumb  ones  and  it's  making  a  skip  of  his  heartbeat  happen  inside  his  chest.   "  you  almost  made  me  do  something  bad,  millie-ah.  "   a  snort,  hand  then  moving  to  the  gap  beneath  arm  rest,  hand  held  of  for  her  to  take  where  it  was  masked  under  materials  of  the  plane  and  at  least  allowing  him  a  small  touch  of  her,  even  if  subtle.   "  i'd  wish  i  could  hold  your  hand  in  public  ...  "   words  are  laced  with  love  while  eyes  lock  on  hers,  thumb  running  along  side  of  her  hand  when  their  hands  were  clasped  together   ;   truly  hoping  they'd  reach  ground  soon  so  he  could  just  have  a  moment  alone  with  her.  not  necessarily  to  only  kiss  but,  just  to  hang  out  with  her  too   —-   she  was,  after  all,  still  his  closest  friend.

𐚁 ݁. . .        everything  happened  lightning  fast  and  though  millie's  initial  reaction  was  to  stand  there  like  a  damn  standing  emoji,  processing  what  was  happening,  soon  as  the  mobile  device  collided  with  the  technicolor  tiles  of  the  dance  floor,  she  knew  it  was  because  adriana  had  seen  someone  do  the  one  thing  they're  forbidden  to  do.  

 a  big  wave  of  appreciation  and  warmth  spreads  through  her  chest,  knowing  that  she  was  only  protecting  her.  and  so,  allowing  security  to  do  what  they  were  supposed  to  be  doing  in  the  first  place,  millie  followed  adriana  off  the  stage-  screw  the  routine,  it  was  already  doomed  from  the  very  beginning.

 "  god,  why  are  they  such  animals  today  ?  it's  never  been  this  bad.  "  sure,  there  were  creeps  and  weirdos  out  there  every  night  who  would  do  anything  for  the  dancers  just  to  be  given  the  time  of  day,  but  they  at  least  respected  the  club's  rules  and  regulations  for  the  most  part.  "  i  bet  that  felt  good,  didn't  it  ?  "  nudging  her  bestie  on  the  elbow  with  a  delighted  grin,  keeping  the  mood  light  as  much  as  possible,  "  let's  just  hope  those  bozos  don't  come  back  anymore.  "  

 eyes  brightening  as  a  lightbulb  switches  in  her  head,  "  you  know  what-  i  say  let's  just  ditch  the  rest  of  the  shift,  surely  we  deserve  it.  "  millie  suggests,  walking  arm  in  arm  with  her,  back  to  the  dressing  rooms.  "  let's  go  to  that  24-hour  ramen  place  or  something,  get  drunk  and  pass  out  somewhere.  "  anywhere  but  there,  that  was  the  gameplan  for  the  rest  of  the  night,  especially  after  that  traumatizing  encounter.  

༊⋆｡˚                       the very moment she gazed out onto the sea of thirst , she allowed her sights to take each creeps face into consideration . millie had been in this game longer than her & she knew how important this job was . perhaps a little more on the fiery side but adriana couldn’t help herself . felt protective of femme & if it meant losing her job in this club as a result —- then , it was all in a days work !

cute signal sent her darling besties way , the prettiest smile & a heart made up of her arms . oh , this was going to be fun . looked all part of the routine ; nose scrunch to match . hadn’t figured out exactly what she wanted to do but the second she noted him remove his phone out and point it in millie’s direction —- she saw red . nope ! not on her damned watch .

ignoring all rules bestowed upon them , she squatted ‘pon the platform before shimmying off as best she could —- a few people on the floor helping her down and she could practically see security making a beeline for her . oopsie daisy ! carried on with her task at hand though .. moving through the dance floor as she grabbed the creeps phone and threw it to the ground with a satisfying clatter —- even above the reverberating bass . platform heeled point pushing centre into the glass destroying it —- oh well , he can’t retrieve any footage now !

❛ stop being a fucking weirdo ! ❜ poison lacing her tone as she shoved him —- no care for anyone surrounding her ; she was locked in . as the bouncers arrived and pulled her back , she scoffed . ❛ how about doing your jobs better and stop letting old men film the dancers ?! ❜ she spat . one of them taking the initiative to escort him out with a firm ban while the other dragged her by her upper arm toward the stages exit .

𐚁 ݁. . .        considering  everything  they'd  already  gotten  up  to  just  a  few  nights  prior,  one  might  assume  they'd  take  a  breather  —  but  no,  millie  was  just  as  hopelessly  hooked  on  him  as  he  clearly  was  on  her.  they'd  already  lived  in  their  own  little  bubble  back  when  they  were  best  friends,  but  now  that  they'd  upgraded,  it  only  intensified.  or  in  millie's  opinion,  improved.  "  okay,  let's  not.  "  a  mischievous  smirk  pulled  at  her  lips  right  before  jisung  leaned  in  to  steal  another  kiss,  and  despite  the  fact  it  hadn't  even  been  a  full  hour  since  their  last  one,  she  was  already  kissing  him  back  like  someone  starved  for  affection,  devouring  each  press  of  his  lips  readily.  thankfully,  the  airplane's  steady  drone  was  doing  them  a  favor,  muffling  the  increasingly  sinful  sounds  coming  from  their  row,  and  she  even  managed  a  soft  whimper  against  his  lips,  head  angling  to  deepen  the  kiss  with  zero  shame.

 her  heartbeat  pounded  in  her  ears,  the  risk  of  getting  caught  only  spicing  things  up  more  .  .  not  that  they  needed  it.  with  the  cabin  cloaked  in  darkness  to  encourage  rest  (  except  the  pair,  at  least  ),  millie's  tongue  had  already  tangled  with  his,  lazily  dancing  with  his  in  sync,  while  her  hand  rested  on  the  small  island  separating  their  seats.  honestly,  the  other  passengers  owed  that  little  divider  their  lives,  because  if  it  weren't  there,  she'd  absolutely  be  in  jisung's  lap  by  now.  the  faint  clink  of  a  seatbelt  unbuckling  just  ahead  had  her  instincts  flaring,  and  she  immediately  and  very  reluctantly  pulled  away,  licking  her  lips  as  she  reclined  with  the  a  casual  air  of  someone  who  hadn't  just  been  making  out  with  her  seatmate.  when  she  noticed  it  was  her  father  standing  to  make  his  way  toward  the  back  bathroom,  she  quickly  cleared  her  throat,  offering  a  sweet  smile  as  he  walked  past  and  caught  her  gaze.  then,  shooting  jisung  a  careful  side-eye,  she  mouthed,  "  that  .  .  was  close,  "  followed  by  a  stifled  laugh  that  betrayed  just  how  very  not  sorry  she  was.

       gaze  falls  to  the  random  book  in  her  hand,  instinctively  reaching  out  and  out  of  curiosity  he  looked  at  the  back  of  novel,  causing  a  low  chuckle  to  emit  from  him.   "  never  knew  you  were  into  philosophy,  millie  ~  but  given  that  beautiful  brain  of  yours,  i  guess  it's  a  given.  "   playfulness  always  evident  in  their  conversations,  lately  they  just  hadn't  needed  to  use  it  to  mask  the  underlying  tension  and  constant  urge  to  be  close   —-   much  needed  proximity  in  ways  there  shouldn't  be  explored  on  public  areas  like  a  plane.   "  i  wonder  what  got  you  so  distracted  ...  "   trailing  off  as  a  knowing  smirk  toyed  on  plumb  lips,  leaning  further  into  his  seat  as  her  head  rested  to  his  shoulder,  his  own  tipping  and  reposing  against  the  top  of  hers,  while  fingertips  were  drawing  nonsense  along  the  femme's  forearm   ;   every  now  and  then  finding  her  hands  where  slender  digits  would  push  between  for  a  hold   —-   fitting  perfectly  in  a  grasp  jisung  didn't  want  to  ever  let  go  of.

face  then  vanishing  from  his  line  of  sighting  and  soon  her  breath  meets  the  flesh  of  his  ear,  causing  a  more  shaky  emit  of  his  own   ;   the  words  only  causing  his  heartbeat  to  react  in  the  confinements  of  his  chest.  first  class  seats  meant  that  there  was  no  peek  holes  between  the  rows,  so  their  family  would  have  to  physically  stand  in  order  to  gain  a  view  of  them.  tongue  runs  out  over  plumb  lips,  head  turning  and  causes  a  bump  of  their  noses  due  to  the  close  proximity  that  millie  had  closed  between  them.   "  depends  if  you're  gonna  sound  sweetly  again  ?  "   teasing  tone,  words  refering  to  their  night  together  a  few  days  ago,  smirk  toying  on  his  lips  while  body  moved  a  bit  on  its  own  so  torso  faced  femme  a  bit   ;   strong  arm  lifting  his  hand  up  and  cupping  the  churn  of  her  cheek.   "  let's  not  get  caught,  hm  ?  "   something  thrilling  about  that  sentence and them needing to sneak around. his  lips  captured  hers  in  a  sweet  lip  lock,  fingertips  pushing  into  the  long  strands  of  her  hair   ;   savoring  the  same  addictive  taste  that  he  had  been  longing  for  since  the  short-lived  kiss  shared  at  the  shop  in  the  airport.

𐚁 ݁. . .         prior  to  adriana's  entrance  into  the  club's  hazy,  neon-lit  world,  millie  had  only  floated  along  the  surface  of  acquaintance.  sure,  a  few  of  the  other  girls  were  pleasant  enough  .  .  warm  smiles,  harmless  small  talk,  but  none  radiated  the  warmth  that  adriana  brought  with  her,  and  that  was  precisely  why  their  connection  had  sparked  so  effortlessly.

 "  he  usually  shows  up  around  this  time  every  week,  says  his  wife's  off  with  their  kid  at  her  parents'  place  or  something.  "  aaaand  cue  another  grimace  out  of  disgust.  if  working  here  had  taught  millie  anything,  it  was  that  matrimony  did  little  to  stop  some  men  from  morphing  into  unrepentant  monsters.  most  of  her  regulars  wore  wedding  bands.  and  while  the  ethics  of  that  made  her  skin  crawl,  it  wasn't  as  if  she  had  the  power  to  bar  the  door.

 blowing  adriana  a  kiss  as  they  released  each  other's  hands  following  the  cue,  the  opening  routine  began,  and  millie  slid  into  her  dancer's  mindset  seamlessly.  even  so,  she  couldn't  help  but  cast  glances  toward  the  higher  platform  where  adriana  performed,  her  face  twitching  into  restrained  grimaces  at  the  obscene  things  being  shouted  at  them  as  they  started  to  dance.  the  crowd  was  particularly  unhinged  that  evening.

 in  the  midst  of  it  all,  just  as  her  body  moved  through  the  motions  of  the  routine,  millie  felt  it.  that  creeping,  sinister  energy  curling  in  the  pit  of  her  stomach.  her  gut  didn't  lie.  he  was  there.  all  she  needed  now  was  adrianas  signal.  "  fuck,  i  really  don't  wanna  deal  with  him,  "  she  muttered  under  her  breath,  her  back  conveniently  turned  to  the  crowd  as  part  of  the  choreography,  exhaling  a  long,  exasperated  sigh.

༊⋆｡˚                       glossed lips a sweet pout as she finished off the last of her make up ; ruffling her hair in the process as she gazed at her reflection . happy with how she looked . but , oh —- friends worries had her stomach pulled taut with anxiety . knew how some of these creeps could be . thought they owned the joint just because they were rich . turning attention to the angel next to her —- she scrunched up her nose & visibly shivered .

❛ ew —- what a weirdo . i’ll keep on the lookout ! ❜ popped some gum into her mouth before sitting upon the make up tables top before millie and offering her some , ❛ is he obsessed with you ? ❜ reaches forward , perfectly manicured fingertips glazing through inky spill of locks as she tucked it behind femmes ear . ❛ i think most people would be though .. ❜

a natural flirt . couldn’t help herself . slipping off and grabbing the last of her accessories as she heard the role call for them —- she sighed . ❛ makes me nervous every single night —- i don’t know why ! ❜ she chuckled , her passion for dancing overshadowing every negative thought or worry she may have .

stepping out into the illumination of the club scene —- flashing lights & the bass reverberating through her very soul , she smirked softly before interlacing her fingers with millie . knew they’d have to split to opposing sides of the bar eventually but she’d become her lifeline in this . ❛ i’m on a higher platform tonight , ❜ she shouted over the music , ❛ i’ll keep an eye out and signal you ! ❜

𐚁 ݁. . .         " i don't think that charm of yours will ever go away, dabin ah. " she says with a grin, always ready to be her personal hype woman. the two of them would need to bring their A-game if they were aiming to collect a generous amount of free drinks tonight. " remember last time ? we even scored a helicopter ride over the city ? ahhh ~ good old days." it honestly felt like another lifetime ago, but tonight held the promise of new mischief and memories, and she was all in. " you know it ! let's go home for the meantime. if my parents ask where we're headed, we'll just say it's a lovely, quiet dinner out with friends. you know the drill. " thankfully, her notoriously strict parents trusted dabin enough to let her slip under the radar. sliding into her car, millie starts the drive back to the dizon estate, already mentally lining up their alibis and outfits.

She exaggeratingly stretches her back by lifting her arms up, reaching to the roof, and she tilts her head from side to side before standing up from the bed where she's been sitting. "Let's see if I still got it. It's been a while since I've tried to hit on anyone." Blame her busy work life and studies on the side. Dabin barely has free time to meet her friends or family. She doesn't have the time to go clubbing every night anymore. "And this can only mean one thing, by the way. I can raid your closet." A grin tugs at her lips again. "And use your makeup." She's not going to a club looking like the way she is now -- leggings and a hoodie, her hair in a messy bun.

𐚁 ݁. . .         "  maybe  a  boxing  ring  ?  "  she  shoots  back,  striding  deeper  into  the  shopping  center  with  a  laugh  bubbling  up.  millie  can  practically  taste  the  thinly  veiled  disinterest  in  doyoon's  tone,  but  she  brushes  it  off.  after  all,  if  he  really  hadn't  wanted  to  come,  he  could've  simply  declined.  "  you  know  i  don't  need  your  money,  right  doyoon  ssi  ?  "  she  tacks  on  the  honorific  with  a  smirk,  more  out  of  mockery  than  formality,  considering  money  had  never  been  a  limiting  factor  in  her  life.  "  i  just  want  someone  to  tell  me  if  i  look  good  in  something  or  not,  that's  all.  i  have  a  hot  date  in  a  couple  of  days.  "  as  exasperating  as  he  could  be,  she  trusted  his  taste  implicitly.  plus,  a  male  perspective  never  hurt.  "  i  promise  we'll  duel  if  you  behave  for  the  rest  of  the  shopping  trip.  "

"  is there a better place to challenge you to a duel  ?  "  male taunts, eyes rolling in a playful manner when she mentions the supposed fact that she in fact could take him down.  "  what street cred  ?  "  taunts with a wiggle of his eyebrows, elbow nudging and all just to prove his point — the thought of her taking him down in such a public place enough to make imagination run wild.  "  oh right, shopping. fun  ?  " not the real reason he agreed to this outing, simply agreed to being with millie — whatever that took.  "  where are we going first then  ?  you know i'm not paying, right ? "

[milinight]

𐚁 ݁. . .         it  felt  liberating  to  be  able  to  tell  someone  the  truth  about  her  double  life,  yet  millie  understood  the  confusion,  "  i  don't  know,  honestly  ?  is  it  because  i  feel  the  most  free  when  i  dance  ?  maybe  that's  why  .  .  "  she  turns  to  the  other,  a  worried  expression  settling,  hand  resting  over  haeun's,  "  you're  not  going  to  tell  anyone,  right  ?  "
