Min Jun

I didn’t expect to see Juniper at the dance studio, and yet here she was. I had given her a few days away from me while I tried to get my head together. I didn’t want to lead her on, therefore I didn’t want to be confused when it came down between Juniper and Samantha. I had been missing in action from Juniper to figure out what my heart already knew, I just needed to get my mind on board. Even though Samantha and I had history and things hadn’t gone the way it did in the past, I didn’t want to mess up something that I felt would be great with Juniper. I never responded back to Samantha about helping her channel, so I figured she would get the hint if I didn’t contact her back. I had to regroup in my head the pros and cons of it all to be honest with myself.

Seeing Juniper dance at the studio solidified my feelings for her. I wanted to be with her and I was willing to lay it out on the line and let her know. I wanted to confess my feelings to her immediately after I had seen her in the studio, but I wasn’t sure how it would be received. I didn’t want to be rejected, but I didn’t want to continue feeling like this without her knowing. I just felt she was perfect for me. Even though we hadn’t been around each other, I was willing to find out more about her, I just couldn’t get her out of my mind. I couldn’t say that I didn’t think about her when I did almost every waking moment. From the moment I saw her in the coffee shop, seeing her cry, I wanted to protect her. I didn’t want to see her cry and I wanted to be the one to care for her. I wanted to be the one to show how she deserved to be loved and to show her how love really feels. I never had this feeling for someone so soon, this was all new to me but I couldn’t help it. I knew it sounded crazy but I couldn’t let this opportunity pass because I would always wonder what would happen if I didn’t step up and let her know how I felt. I would go crazy if I didn’t and I knew she would be worth it.

Just thinking about the time when we were apart, I was trying to figure out what my heart needed. I didn’t want to go through the same thing again with Samantha. I kept remembering the moment she let me go and I had to deal with my emotions alone. I remember the moment she left me when I really needed someone. Something in my gut made me feel that Juniper wouldn’t be that type of person. Just remembering how she was dealing with her feelings she was having about her ex-boyfriend. She was in love with this guy; she had given this guy everything and he hurt her and didn’t take her feelings into consideration. I knew how that felt, she and I shared the same pain. I felt it in my gut that she would love me just as much as I would love her, unconditionally.

During the last freeform, I was off to the side of the studio talking to Sara and Alex when I noticed her. I had already spilled the beans on Juniper to Sara and Alex because I needed some clarity and some sound advice. I had informed them about the night we had at the park and the night we had at the bar. I told them I was so excited to see her, but then I told them about how Samantha just popped up out of the blue. Both Sara and Alex told me that I needed to be careful about Samantha; honestly they were trying to understand why I was giving her any of my time after how she had treated me in the past. I told them how I had more history with Samantha than feelings, since it had been so long. Even though I figured she just wants my friendship, both warned me to be cautious. With that in mind, I had made my decision to step back from Samantha to let go of that part of my past in order for me to move forward to a brighter future.

When Sara asked me if I wanted her to pair with Juniper, I said most definitely and jumped at the opportunity. I watched Juniper move with the music and she flowed well in her own zone. Sara said she noticed her earlier when she met them as they arrived. I was a bit late arriving so I didn’t notice her when I came in. It was the freeform dance that allowed me to pay attention to her from a distance. She looked like she was having fun with her friend. They owned the floor but welcomed the others. It made me remember the time I saw her dance at the restaurant when she was out with those from her office. She commits herself to the music and most likely commits herself to everything she does.

After her freeform dance, Juniper saw me staring at her from across the room. I wanted her to see me. I wanted her to notice me. She froze for a minute and then turned away. I wasn’t sure of how to read her reaction, but I didn’t care, I needed to tell her. I needed to confess, even if she didn’t want to see me, I just needed to take the chance to get it out in the open. I didn’t want to hold back anything, because I felt that I had taken too much time to dance around the subject, so to speak. As Sara motioned me to come over and be the partner for Juniper, I held my breath. This is the moment, I thought. It was do or die.

Sara put Juniper’s hand in mine and walked away. Juniper didn’t flinch and she didn’t retract her hand. In fact, she held my hand gently caressing my fingers as we touched. I asked her for a hug, and she acknowledged. I saw this as my chance to let her know how I felt. I told her that I missed her, hoping she missed me too. My heart melted when she told me she missed me too! She probably heard my heartbeat through my chest. I could smell her scent as I held her, my arms wrapped around the small of her back. I didn’t want to let her go, I wanted to keep her body close to mind and feel the warmth that grew between us. Off in the distance, I could hear some of the spectators swoon as we embraced, which made me pull her closer.

I knew this was my opportunity to confess my feelings towards her. As we danced, we were in our moment, it was just us moving to the beat. It was magical, but I had something else up my sleeve. I wanted to put it out there for her to see everything that I wanted her to see. I wanted her to understand completely that I wanted her to be with me and I was willing to be as vulnerable as I needed to be.

“That was nice dancing with you.” I said as I returned to their little corner of the studio

“Yeah that was fun.” Juniper said, turning towards me. “Min Jun, I would like to introduce you to my best friend, Chanel. Chanel, this is Min Jun.” She said.

“Hello, nice to meet you.” I said with a small gesture bow.

“Hello Min Jun. Nice to meet you too. I’ve heard some things about you.” She said.

“Good things I hope.” I replied.

“Yes, good things and good possibilities.” She said looking at Juniper. I smiled and blushed a bit. “Aww, he’s blushing Juni!” She responded.

“Stop teasing him, Chanel.” Juniper saved me as she nudged her friend. I was blushing because it was nice just hearing she had spoken about me to someone.

“It’s okay. At least I know she talks about me.” I managed to say.

“Oh yeah, she does. It seems as though you have left a lasting impression on my friend.” Chanel confessed. Interesting, I thought. I smiled and looked at Juniper, I was flattered she was thinking of me about as much as I was thinking about her.

“So what are your plans after this?” I asked.

“We planned to go out and kick in big time. I’ve had a long week here and this has put me in the mood for going club hopping and having a few drinks. Do you want to come with us? You could show us some places to go maybe?” Chanel asked.

“Sure, if Juniper doesn’t mind.”

“I don’t mind at all.” She said, smiling at me. Her smile gave me the acceptance I needed. It felt as if I was on the road to happiness.

Sara had started the song I requested for freeform dance and the dance floor cleared. Some participants were still tired from the last dance and others were just enjoying the moment and allowing others to take the spotlight.

“Come with me.” I said as I held Juniper’s hand. She gave her water bottle to Chanel and followed my lead as I pulled her towards the dance floor.

“What are we doing?” She asked.

“We’re dancing together; just us. We are going to use the steps from the last dance. They work well with this song.” I said. She looked at me and she smiled a bit.

“You planned this?” She asked. I couldn’t tell if she was upset or shocked.

“I planned to dance with you on this song, I just didn’t know when or if it would be played.” I lied. I knew exactly when it would be played.

“I see you are full of surprises today.” She said as she poked me. I looked around and there were still a few fans still here, screaming and cheering as we took the floor.

“More than you know.” I replied. The lights dimmed a bit around the studio and a green spotlight glowed above us.

“What are you up to?” She asked. She looked at me trying to figure out what was going on.

“Trust me.” I said. I looked deep into her eyes and didn’t waver.

“I will.” She replied and my heart skipped a beat. The music got louder and filled the room as The Weeknd started singing, Die For You.

We started dancing the last routine that went so well with the beat of the song. As we moved together, we fell deep into the song and each other. Juniper closed her eyes and let the music direct her body. She was in sync with me the entire time. As we kept our gaze on each other, everyone disappeared. It was just us in the studio dancing for each other. I wanted her to hear not only the music but I also wanted her to listen to the words. I started singing along with the words as we meditated on the song. We committed our bodies to each other and it was total magic. It was just us and we were infatuated with each other. We were so deep inside the moment as I felt her body lay against mine; her touch against my skin burned hot as I pulled her closer to me. Our faces were so close as we looked at each other, noses touching; I could feel her breath against my lips. She bit her bottom lip as she rolled her body against me. I began to grow a bit in the southern region, but I wasn’t worried about anyone seeing my growth, I knew she felt it and I was all hers.

Our eyes connected to a point where I could feel the passion growing between us. During the crescendo of the song I picked her up; she wrapped her legs around my waist as I grabbed her beneath her ass and slowly twirled her around in the moment. She ran her fingers through my hair as I caressed her across her back, her ass and her legs. I started singing louder the words, ‘Baby, I would die for you’, looking her directly in her eyes. She looked at me longingly, and lovingly. She caressed my face as she ran her fingers across my lips. I gazed at her as I kissed her fingers. I leaned closer to where our lips were just millimeters away from each other. I hesitated a bit and looked at her. She was biting her lip again looking directly at mine. She glanced up, our eyes met and I sang along with the words, ‘And you won’t find no one that’s better, Cos, I’m right for you Babes.’ .

We were almost to the end of the song and, I spun her around and slowly let her down to the floor and we stood apart just inches away from each other; I sang loudly, ‘I would die for you, I would lie for you, Keep it real with you, I would kill for you, my baby’. She walked over and slid her hand across my face again; I held her other hand over my heart while I took the caressing hand and kissed it. I gently kissed down to her wrist and then down her arm as I slid her arm around to the back of my neck. I leaned down as close as possible to her lips, hovering just above as our noses touched; our breath mixed sweetly. Slowly as the song’s last crescendo was ending and fading out, I looked at her and then kissed her. Her lips were as soft as I thought. Sweet and sexy, feeling like satin across my lips. She embraced me and wrapped her arms around my neck. My arms slid around her waist to the small of her back and pulled her closer as we kissed deeply. I think I made it clear about my feelings for her, in front of everyone so there was no denial. I wanted her and no one else.
