JIMIN'S POV

"The song finished," I told Dahyun. I let go my hand and gave her my hand. She took it and I accompanied her back to the practice room.

I don't know why, but she's looking very pretty right now. She must've prepared for a long time for this event.

"Are you going to practice?" She asked me.

"N-No. I have to do something." I smiled at her.

"What are are you going to do then?"

"I will ask Chaeng to dance with me." She became silent, but she just smiled. "So, I'll go now." I nodded and exited the room.

I was quite guilty when I told Dahyun that I'm going to dance with Chaeng. They are best friends alright, but I like Chaeng. I've been liking her for a year already. The time she transferred here, she became my crush. She's cute and all. Plus, her attitude is my favorite.

As soon as I entered the hall, I sighed deep before walking towards Chaeng's table.

I wore my smile and held my hand out to her as soon as I stood infront of her.

"May I dance with you?" She looked at me and then the others started teasing us. My face heated up.

She took my hand and then we walked towards the dance floor. I placed both of my hands on her waist and she placed her hands around my nape.

"You look pretty," I told her, but she just smiled--revealing her dimples. Those dimples I liked.

Throughout the dance, we were just quiet. No one dared to speak. Maybe because it's too awkward. I like her, but her best friend likes me. It's a love triangle.

"Did you like Dubu before?" Chaeng asked me.

"As a friend? Yeah." I nodded.

"No, what I mean--"

"I know what you mean." I cut her. "I never liked her. Even in the past. Maybe because she's just much of a girl best friend for me."

"Her feelings developed for you. So, why can't your feelings too?" Her eyebrows crossed.

I smiled, "We're different, Chaeng. That's her decision."

"It's her decision to like you?" She raised her eyebrow. "Look, Jimin, I know that you like me. I've known that since last year--the year I transferred here. And you've been trying to court me since then. But, I think it's not making any progress."

"What do you mean?" I honestly don't want to hear Chaeng's answer.

"I think you should focus more on Dahyun. Don't waste your time for a girl like me. A girl who doesn't like you back." She sighed and looked down. "Dahyun... Well, Dahyun is the perfect match for you, Jimin."

"N-No, Chaeng. Y-You're the perfect match for me." I told her. My heart is breaking. "It's not Dahyun, Chaeng. It's you."

"No, Jimin." She smiled. "Dahyun is not easy to like. Don't let her feelings be a waste."

"But, you don't understand, Chaeng. I like you. And you're the only one I like. No one else. And it will never change." I said.

"Look, Jimin. This relationship is better if we're just friends." I froze. My feet stopped from dancing. My mind went blank. "Choose Dahyun." She smiled and then left me on the dance floor.

NAMJOON'S POV

"Ya," I called Jeongyeon. She's preparing the drum set. "Let's go to the dance floor. I'm going to say something."

"Sure. Is this about Jihyo?" I nodded. We went to the hall and we danced. "Are you aware that she's looking?"

"She's probably jealous by now," I chuckled, but she smacked me on my forehead. "Ow!"

"You're such a baddie." She giggled. "So, let's talk about your plan."

"I really want to be together with her again," I said with sincerity. "I can't accept the fact that she broke up with me."

"Aren't you worried that you might look desperate for her?" I shook my head.

"Because for Jihyo, I'll lower down my pride." I half-smiled. "I'm missing her so bad. I still love her."

"Then why don't you talk to her already?"

"She doesn't want to." I sighed. "She's too jealous of you."

"Tss. Then stop dancing with me and ask her, Joonie!" She told me. "I'm afraid to get bullied by her. You know her attitude."

"She will not bully you, Jeong." I smirked. "By the way, you look like a girl tonight."

"I'm a girl!" She ranted, but I just chuckled.

"You're a girl crush, right? I'm just saying that you look like a girl tonight." She pouted. "I will talk to her now."

"Okay," she nodded. I left her and I went to Jihyo. I smiled at her and offered my hand.

"Will you dance with me?" I asked her and smiled. She clenched her jaw and walked out.

I was rejected.

"Wait, Ji!" I followed her and held her wrist. She stopped from walking and faced me.

"What, Namjoon?!" She's mad. I let go of my hand and sighed.

"Please..." I paused. My tears started forming. I hugged her and cried silently, "Please come back to me, Ji." I got no reply. "I-I still love you."

"No, Namjoon." She said coldly. I hugged her tightly and cried harder.

"No matter how many times you'll reject me, Jihyo, I will still come back to you. That's how much I love you, Ji."

"Y-You don't understand it, Joonie." My heart melted as she called me that. It was 5 months ago since she called me that. "I have to leave you."

"You have to?" I faced her and I saw her pretty eyes crying. "C'mon, Ji, what's the problem?"

"I have to leave you--"

"Then tell me why!"

"Because my parents told me to!"

"What's the reason, Ji?! Tell me?!"

"Because I'm arranged, Joonie! I'm arranged!" I froze. "So, I decided to leave you because even without me, you'll be happy! I will suffer with the man I'm arranged to because we don't love each other! I'll be tied up with someone I don't love, Joonie! Because for you, I will let you go and find another woman that deserves your love! Even if it means that I have to marry someone to let you be happy!"

No one dared to speak. But I just found myself hugging her and she cried on my shoulder.

"We will fight for our love, Ji." I whispered. "I don't care if the world hates our relationship. Okay? I love you."

SANA'S POV

"I don't care if the world hates our relationship. Okay? I love you." I heard someone said. Well, he has the guts to fight for their relationship--

Wait. I saw Namjoon hugging Jihyo. Wait, is this for real?!

I wanna jump because of happiness, but I remembered that I'll ruin their moment. So I entered the hall instead and sat on our table. The slow dance will end soon. This is the last song.

"Guys, let's go back to our seats because someone prepared a song for us!" Gain sunbae said. All went back to their seats.

"Wait, where's Nayeon and Yoongi?" I asked them. Their eyebrows crossed and began looking for the two inside the hall.

"I'll call Nayeon," Tzuyu stood up and went aside.

"Okay! Is everybody still alive?" Taecyeon sunbae asked. All students yelled. "Okay! They are still alive!"

"So, who loves live band here?!" We raised our hands. "Good, many loves live band. Speaking of live bands, we invited the school band. Please give the band Anonymous a hand!" We all clapped.

Jimin, Dahyun, Namjoon and Jeongyeon appeared. Jimin is holding a electric guitar while Dahyun is with her keyboard. Namjoon is holding the bass guitar and Jeongyeon is with her drum set. Wow, I didn't know that Jeongyeon knows how to play drums.

I was quite intrigued when I saw Dahyun's nose red. Looks like she cried. Why?

When Jimin strummed his electric guitar, we all knew what they are going to sing.

Jimin's voice is very angelic. I didn't know that he could sing. He's a total package though. He could sing, play an instrument and is very handsome.

No wonder Dahyun liked him. He's such a talented man.

After their song, it was followed by another song. But this time, only Jimin and Dahyun were left. I didn't know that they are going to do a special stage together.

An organ was placed and then the two sat and then started playing it.

"Janjanhaesseotdon nae mam sogen..." Dahyun started singing while pressing the keys of the organ. Her voice is so good.

We didn't know that we were jamming to the both of them.

After their stage, another band was introduced. Their band is called 'Got7'. I was shocked to see the boys in the canteen onstage.

"What the heck? They are a band?" I asked.

"Yes and they have lots of fangirls." Jin told us. Their song finished.

And so, it's time to announce the winners. I'm freaking nervous right now. What if I'm not going to win? I feel like I'm going to let our class down.

"Oh my, your hands are cold, Sana." Nayeon said as she holds my hand. Wait, when did she got here? "Relax, girl."

"Who's your pick for Ms. Acquaintance?!" Taecyeon sunbae asked us.

"Irene!"

"SinB!"

"Naeun!"

"Solar!"

"Sana!"

I felt my cheeks heat up when I heard my name. I didn't know that people will support me though.

"Our Ms. Acquaintance for this year is Bae Irene!" My shoulders fell. I knew I couldn't make it.

"I'm sorry, guys," I'm really sad for not winning. "I let you down."

"C'mon, Sana, it's fine if you didn't win." Tzuyu said and hugged me. "I have a strong feeling that you're the Star of the Night."

"What's that?" My eyebrows crossed.

"It's like you're the star that shone the brightest. You are the star of the night." I half-smiled and sighed.

"Mr. Acquaintance of this year, please come on stage, Mr. Jeon Jungkook!" We all clapped when Jungkook won. Well, this is even more embarassing. He won and I didn't.

Jungkook went to the stage beside Irene and took the price.

"For the star of the night, please come on stage, Mr. Mark Tuan and Ms. Minatozaki Sana." My mind went blank for a minute.

I heard my name...

I heard my name...

Does this mean that I'm the Star of the Night?

"I told you!" Tzuyu smiled. "Now get that title onstage before someone grabs it." I stood up and went to the stage. I took the certificate and we took a photo.

There's a winner on our class.

"We are sorry if this party will end now." Gain sunbae said. "But, it is great to have this party with you. You guys are great! And I hope you made a lot of friends and I hope that we'll see each other next year."

"I'm Taecyeon."

"I'm Gain."

"And thank you for coming to this party tonight!"
