Mia and Jun, the newlywed couple was sitting in the middle of their all family members and friends.
It was time for the father daughter dance.
Jina went and stood in the center of the dance floor, "Ladies and Gentlemen, put your hands together for the dance of my big sister and my dear Dad! Woohooo!!"
Everyone cheered as Father stood up and offering Mia a hand, took her onto the dance floor.
The music started and Mia's beaming face was moving onto the whole floor along with her dad's satisfied face, swaying with the tune.
"She looks so beautiful, isn't she?" April whispered to the girls who were sitting beside her.
"Yes absolutely!" Hana whispered back.
"That dress is a beaut!" So Hee commented.
Ye Rin rolled her eyes, "Why wouldn't it be? It's from the collection of the great fashion designer Choi So Hee, isn't it?" She said sarcastically.
"Yes it is!" So Hee ignored the tone and agreed proudly. "And by the way it's not So Hee, my name is Suzy in the designing world. Got it?"
"Yeah yeah….So Hee…Suzy….Both goes for the same arrogant person!" Ye Rin smirked.
"What? What did you just call me?"
"Guys guys guys….Please don't start your stupid fight here!" April scolded.
"You two are adults now! Act like it!" Hana's strict words made the girls look at her in shock.
They exchanged glances being unsure of what to say.
"This is Mia's day. Just enjoy it and later you can fight as long as you want." She said still looking at the dance floor where Mia's and her father's dance was about to end.
The music stopped and everyone applauded, cheering for them.
Mia's father placed a kiss on his daughter's forehead as his eyes moistened.
She hugged him tight as her eyes had also filled with tears.
Jina came towards them. "Aww!!! They are sweet, aren't they?" Jina was talking towards the whole audience. "I wonder if my dad will get so much emotional in my wedding as he has already used up all his tears in this one!" She said jokingly on which everyone along with Mia and her father laughed loud.
"So now, the moment, which we all were waiting for….Well, other than this wedding is…Bride and Groom's Dance!!!!"
"WOHOOO!" All cheered loud.
"Come on Jun oppa. What are you waiting for?"
Jun got up and went on the dance floor.
He looked at Mia; both of them nodded and went towards the center of the stage. Jina went back to her seat.
He smiled at her as she returned it. Both of them got into their dancing positions and the next instant, the music started.
To everyone's surprise, it wasn't soft soothing ball music but was an upbeat, funky one!
As soon as it started, everyone started screaming in excitement.
Mia and Jun were moving on the stage with the music and everyone around them was jumping up in their seats hyping up the whole place.
Ray along with other guys stood up and started clapping excitedly with the beats.
Soon the song came to an end with Mia in Jun's arms.
"Wohhooo!!!!"
Both of them smiled at each other catching their breaths and he leaned in to place a kiss on her lips.
.
Now it was time for everyone to dance.
Mu Yeol walked towards the place where all the ladies were sitting.
He stopped in front of April with a smile and offered his hand, "Can I get a dance with my beautiful wife?" He asked.
She giggled. "Sure! Why not?" She said and holding his hand, followed him towards the dance floor.
"But where is Leo?" She asked in the middle. "He was crying before…"
"Oh no worries. He's fine now. He's with my mother. See, look over there." He pointed towards the back of the crowd where a lady was holding a baby in her hands playing with him.
As she saw that both, Mu Yeol and April are looking at them, she held baby's hand and made him wave, "Say Hello, say hello to Mumma and Papa…." The baby giggled.
April smiled relieved as she started dancing with him.
So Hee looked at Ye Rin and said, "Lucky her! A loving husband and a cute baby. She has got everything!"
"Are you jealous of her?" Ye Rin asked.
"….No…No…Not at all…"
"You also have great things, So Hee. A glamorous career, money, cars, houses…Everything you've wanted. Think about me, I changed my jobs, my girlfriend is a little upset at me due to that and still I am okay or rather happy with what I have, right?" Ye Rin was trying to make her feel better.
"Yeah…."
"If you feel like this, then go ahead and find a guy…There are plenty of them here…"
"I've found enough and I'm fed up of them. I'm actually tired of all this dating and all. I'm done."
"Then stop complaining!" Hana said loud enough that the people around them turned to look at them.
So Hee and Ye Rin exchanged glances again.
"If you are done with this then move away and give way to others too!" Saying this Hana emptied the glass of wine in front of her and stood up.
Then taking a breath she walked towards the dance floor.
"How dare she? What's with her?" So Hee bit her lips in frustration.
"Cool down, cool down So Hee…" Ye Rin said in hurry, "You know, since she has taken her dad's business in her hands she has become a lot more straight forward and kind of cold towards people…."
"Yeah….But is this way to talk with her friends?"
"She is always stressed these days due to having some issues in her company."
"How do you know that?"
"I am not a news reporter for no reason, right?" Ye Rin shrugged her shoulders.
"Oh yeah…."
"So that's why she is talking that way. Don't take it seriously. From tomorrow, she'll be back to her work, so let her enjoy for at least today. Okay?"
"Alright…." So Hee agreed.
"Now let's go and dance!" Ye Rin got up.
"With you?" So Hee raised an eyebrow
"Why? Do you have any other partner to dance with?"
"Umm…No…But…."
"….Wait wait….Ha! I got it…..Don't worry! I am not "interested" in you!"
"Huh?"
"Yes! Arrogant and cocky is not my type at all!!!" Ye Rin said and walked away from her with a smirk on her face.
So Hee thought for a second and then, "Hey wait! Did you just call me arrogant again??" And she ran towards her to the dance floor.
.
Jina was sitting alone at the table while everyone else was dancing.
Hiro, one of the members of Jun's group came towards her.
"Do…Do yo-you wanna dance with me?" He asked hesitantly.
She looked at him and said, "I don't dance."
"Oh! Me too!" He said hurriedly.
After that a weird silence was spread in between them.
Neither had she said anything nor he knew what to say any further.
"…Umm…Okay….I-I'll go then…" And he turned back to go.
"Well…" Jina spoke up, "I cannot be your dance partner, but if you want someone to sit back and drink with you, then tell me…"
His face lit up on those words, "Yeah sure! I-I would love that!" He said excitedly.
And then went and sat on the chair next to her.
She looked at him from head to toe and narrowed her eyes, as if telling he was too close.
He understood the look and quickly moved his chair farther from hers.
Looking at his reaction like that she smiled inside, not letting it show on her face.
Then she took two glasses from the table and handed him one.
He carefully took it and sipped.
No one said anything for several seconds as the same weird awkward silence was spread again.
"So…" She spoke up first. "You are Hiro, the main dancer of the group! Right?"
"Yes!"
"And you don't dance, huh?" She raised an eyebrow giving a smirk.
"!!!"
.
Ray straightened his jacket and started walking towards a table where a beautiful lady was sitting, crossing her legs.
As she saw him coming towards the table, her lips curved up in a slight smile.
"Excuse me! Beautiful lady, can I have this dance?" He asked offering his hand.
"Oh! I thought you'd never ask!" She said jokingly as she grabbed his hand and got up.
He chuckled, "Oh really?��
"Yeah..."
He brought his face closer to hers; locking her eyes with his.
Then leaning forwards he gently placed a kiss on her lips, "If I wouldn't dance with my girlfriend, then with whom I would dance?"
She smiled.
"You are mine, alright?" He said and pulled her towards him by her waist. "Never forget that!"
She looked the other way, getting embarrassed.
He brought his face closer to her ears and whispered, "Should we dance now?"
.
Mia, Jun, their friends and family all were on the dance floor, dancing.
They all had forgotten their worries and were enjoying the present.
They all were there together to share the happiness of the beginning of Mia and Jun's life.
And nothing was making them happier than the fact that they all were together, present in the moment.
Mia and Jun looked at each other in the crowd.
Both of them saying the same thing with their eyes; they were happy.
Happy to be surrounded by their loved ones;
Happy to be together;
Happy to be there, in that beautiful moment.
