a new song, the last dance perhaps, began to play as soon as she accepted his hand. his blazer had returned to where it belonged, but the warmth was not missed. instead, it had been replaced by the unfamiliar embrace of the man in front of her. in the darkness, it was hard to made out which move would be used next.

it was rather provocative.

the beating of her heart increased as the excitement of not knowing what would come next was simply thrilling. her mind cleared. the only thing she could possibly think about was the way both her mask and taehyung's had been discarded on the black sand and the way he moved her body.

ever since the beginning, her moves relied on him.

she wondered if he would be able to hear her voice in him once he had to run away to catch his ride back after the masquerade. the music had quelled enough for her to regain some consciousness in her mind.

taehyung was doing so great with the dancing. she didn't even know what the choreography he was following, but her body seemed to obey with every step taken. the music picked up in what seemed to be the lead to the climax of the song. the violins and cellos worked in harmony with the harps and violas and the double basses to expedite their tempo.

her footsteps became swifter and lighter as taehyung twirled her around with one arm, the other behind his back. her heartbreak sped up and pounded loudly against her chest. her cheeks flushed in the fervor of the moment. sweat formed on the edges of her face at the pure intoxicating experience.

at the apex of the song, her body tipped backwards and his forgotten arm had made its way to support his other arm that had been avidly spinning her around.

she was left speechless in the peak of the moment.
