Dance Like No One’s Watching
*****************
Seunghyun’s POV
The party scene was well underway when we
arrived in the club. The strobe and laser lights are pulsing along with the
beat of the music and the people are dancing like there’s no tomorrow. I, Jiyong,
Teddy and Kush made our way up towards the DJ’s booth where our friend Dongwook
is DJ-ing. I am not really fond of dance clubs and would rather go to a bar to
drink. But Jiyong and Dongwook hyung insisted and since this is hyung’s treat
for my birthday, I couldn’t refuse.
“Yo, ma men!” he greeted as he gave each of us a
bro hug after turning over the turntables to his resident DJ.
“This place is packed man!” said Teddy hyung,
surveying the scene from where we’re standing.
“I’ve reserved a table for you” Dongwook hyung,
pointed over to the middle table near us.
We took our seats and a waiter immediately took
our orders. From where were located, we can see the stage where a ledge runs
through the middle of the dance floor and then branching over to both sides,
where dance poles are installed on opposite sides. This is actually just the third
time we’ve been here after the grand opening of Lucky Seven, about 3 months
ago. I can see that business is doing well and I congratulated hyung.
“Thanks, man” tapping my shoulder. “Let me just
check on a couple of things and then we’ll move to the private room okay? Enjoy
the show in the meantime. I have one of my main performers comin’ up” he said
to all of us before taking his leave.
Seeing our nods, he left our table and stopped
by 2 more tables before he made his way down to the mosh pit.
“A lot of hot girls tonight” Jiyong observed,
all smiles.
Kush smirked knowing Jiyong’s playboy ways.
Our beers arrived a minute later and as it was
being served, the DJ was saying something that I didn’t quite hear but with the
reception from the club goers, I guessed it was something good. The music then
changed and lights were dimmed as a spotlight appeared in the middle of the
small stage, focusing on a long haired girl sitting on a chair with a steel
arch back frame, her legs apart with her back facing the crowd. The crowds
cheered as the familiar song of Jennifer Lopez’ Get Right played.
The girl was rocking and swaying her body,
almost like making love to the chair, still not fully showing her face due to
her long hair. When she finally stood up and flipped the chair and faced the
hyped crowd, the first thing that came in my mind was that she’s … tiny. And
then she strutted her way towards the middle of the ledge and smiled with her
hair looking like the wind is blowing and she suddenly looked big in my eyes.
It was like she was all that I can see.
************************
Jiyong’s POV
Without realizing it, I was sitting at the edge
of my seat. I wanted to get near the girl who’s dancing like a goddess right
now. She’s … she’s … glowing! Her golden dress is sparkling but it looked like
her skin was, too. Damn, she’s hot! I have to meet her. No. I am going to meet
her, I resolved.
How come I never saw her here before? Never
mind, I thought, after tonight, I’m gonna’ know everything about her and more.
I placed my hands in front of my face in the form of a steeple and smiled. Yup.
I can’t wait.
***********************
Dara’s POV
“Nice one, Sandy!” Deukkie called out as I
climbed off the stage. Another dancer took over and I will do my last set for
the night in 20 minutes.
“Thanks!” I said, not breaking my stride towards
the dressing rooms.
“Dara!” I heard Dongwook’s voice calling and I
stopped. “Great job out there” he said with a quick hug. I didn’t mind. I know
that he loves Byul very much and he only treats me like a sister.
“Don’t I always?” I teased and we laughed.
“Listen; remember what I told you about the birthday
of one of my friends?”
“Yeah?”
“They’re here now so if you can…”
“I know, oppa” I interrupted. “Deukkie already
told me earlier. I know where they’re seated”
“He did?” not really sounding surprised, “great
then. Good luck on your next one!”
We parted and taking a water bottle offered by
one of the waiters, I said thanks and proceeded to get some rest and change my outfit.
***********************
Dongwook’s POV
“Guys, are you ready to go to the private room?”
I asked my friends when I joined them after making sure that everything’s fine
in the club.
Instead of answering, I was surprised by Jiyong
almost jumping on me. “Hyung! What’s her name?”
“Huh?”
“The golden girl”
“The golden what?”
“The dancer earlier”, he said in frustration
looking at me like I was stupid or something.
Aish! This guy! When it comes to girls, he
becomes stark raving mad. “Oh” realizing who he meant “her name’s Da-... uh...
Sandy.” I managed to catch myself.
“Sandy...” the name rolled off his lips and I
didn’t like the sound of it. Knowing Jiyong, he’s up to no good.
“She’s good man” Kush said. “Is she new?”
“Just started a few weeks ago” I answered.
“Will she come out again?” That was Seunghyun.
“Yes, in a few minutes. Let’s move after her
performance alright?”
We then talked about the latest happenings in
our lives and why Bae is not present and enjoying the cold beers when Dara’s
queue started playing.
The sexy beat of tribal music with electro house
mix set the tone and groove in the club. Bodies on the dance floor started
dancing much closer to each other with couples grinding and doing body waves
like no one’s watching. The lights went out on stage and 2 neon orbs can now be
seen. They started to move slowly, hypnotizing, and then along with the beat,
started to move faster as some of the stage lights came on but with muted hues.
It was just enough to illuminate the poi dancer who is moving her hips
seductively, enticing the crowd.
Dara sure knows how to put up a performance; I
smiled contentedly, seeing the reaction from the crowd. This time, she’s
wearing a matching red halter top with beads and a short skirt which bears her
midriff. She then made a series of weaves and swings with the glowstrings
rhythmically, never losing her poise and coordination and continued her dance and
belly moves. She held everyone’s attention and appreciative gasps can be heard
when she started spinning them faster than you think possible and then throwing
them in the air, not failing to catch them back, never losing her smile.
“Amazing”
I heard from one of the guys and I looked over to my friend’s reactions.
They were all caught and looked mesmerized. Their
eyes zeroed in on Dara.
Why do I suddenly feel uneasy?
**********************
Seunghyun’s POV
Like what happened earlier, I couldn’t seem to
take my eyes off her. She commanded one’s attention and she’s not shy about it.
She’s now coming down the stage and the crowd is making way, parting, as she
continued her performance, making glowing patterns around the dance floor.
She’s getting nearer to where we are until I realized that she’s looking at our
table.
Within a minute, she managed to reach us, still
with the spinning orbs and asked, “Who’s the birthday boy?”
“I am” I answered, standing up. I don’t know why
I did that.
She looked at me from top to toe and smiled. With
hips swaying, she danced around me and after one complete round; she ordered
“Sit.”
I did.
She went closer, close enough to smell her and I
felt like a snake charmer with her as a cobra dancing gracefully in front of
me. She was teasing without actually making physical contact. After maybe a
minute, without any warning, she sat on my lap and she maneuvered the glowing
lights around the two of us. Her arms and hands are fast doing tricks and she
was smiling like she’s not making any effort at all. With her face this close
to me and with the dancing lights illuminating her face, I admit that she’s got
one of the most beautiful faces I’ve ever seen.
For the first time, she looked me straight in
the eyes and whispered seductively against my ear, “Happy birthday”. She then
gave me a quick peck on the cheek and glided away over to the other tables …
just like a butterfly.
********************
Jiyong’s POV
Meanwhile, Jiyong is pissed. Downing the rest of
his beer in one gulp, he reached for another one. He can’t believe that
Seunghyun got all the attention of Sandy. All because it’s his birthday. Huh!
Later, he’s going to make sure that Sandy will
do more than just sit on his lap and a kiss.

À la prochaine!
