you’ve always felt like the odd one out. everyone at school seems to be paired up—laughing, holding hands, and whispering sweet nothings to each other—while you stand there, quietly watching from the sidelines. prom night is supposed to be magical, but for you, it feels like just another reminder of how alone you are. even though seungmin is your boyfriend, he’s running a little late, and the teasing starts. people giggle as they pass by, making fun of how you’re standing there all by yourself while everyone else is enjoying the night with their dates. you try to ignore it, but it stings.

the music plays, and couples twirl around the dance floor, laughing and smiling like they’re in their own little world. you wish seungmin were here to pull you into that world too. you check your phone again—no new messages. you can’t help but feel like you’re invisible. after all, it’s not just prom—it’s the same at school, too. you’re the one left out, the one everyone thinks it’s funny to tease. you’re used to it, but that doesn’t make it hurt less.

just when you start to feel like you can’t take it anymore, you feel something warm press against your back. before you can even react, two arms slip around your waist, and you hear that familiar voice whisper, “sorry i’m late.” your heart skips a beat as you turn around to find seungmin, standing there with the sweetest smile on his face. he doesn’t need to say anything else. just his presence makes everything better, and all the teasing, the loneliness, the feeling of being left out, disappears.

without a second thought, he takes your hand, and you both walk onto the dance floor together, the music fading into the background. you don’t need anything else. just him, just the two of you, and everything finally feels right. you smile to yourself, knowing that even when everything else feels wrong, seungmin is the one who makes everything perfect.
