It Started With A Dance (part 4)
That night, Super Junior once again won the Mubank. Eun Ji watched it and couldn't help to scream happily. She took her phone and typed a message.
Congratulations!!! I'm so happy for you, Hankyung-sshi.
She sent the message. Eun Ji watched the TV again. She saw the expression in Hankyung's face. He looked so happy. Eun Ji smiled. She turned off the TV.

"Can you cover me tonight, Heechul-ah?" Hankyung whispered to Heechul once they alredy on the van heading back to the dorm. Heechul looked at Hankyung. "What are you doing? You're going out this late?"
Hankyung shook his head. "I have to see Eun Ji tonight," Hankyung answered. A smile formed in Heechul's face. "Are you going to do what I'm thinking?" Heechul asked mischievously. Hankyung shrugged. "Maybe, maybe not. So are you going to cover me?"
"Okay I'll cover you. Do what you want but give me the details!" said Heechul. Hankyung smiled. "Thank you."

Eun Ji woke up because of the constant knocking on her door. She looked at the clock on her bedside table. Almost 1 AM. She groaned and got out from her bed. Groggily, she walked to the front door. She didn't prepare with the sight in front of her.
Hankyung.
Eun Ji gasped. "Hankyung-sshi!! What are you doing here this late?"
Hankyung bite his lower lip. "Sorry to bother you this hour. But I have to do it and it can't wait," he said. Eun Ji waited him to continue. Hankyung looked at Eun Ji's eyes. "You haven't answered my question. Were you meant it?"
Eun Ji looked blank. "Sorry?" she shook her head in confusion. Hankyung sighed. "When we danced in Star King, you said that I looked handsome while dancing Chinese dance. You felt tremble everytime you looked at me. Were you meant it?" Hankyung asked. This time, his tone filled with hope.
Eun Ji surprised. Hankyung still remembered that day! She looked back to Hankyung's eyes. She saw hope and... love? Hankyung still waiting for her answer. Finally, Eun Ji answered, "I meant it every word."
Hankyung felt the weight in his shoulder lifted, a little. He looked into Eun Ji's eyes. That look made Eun Ji's heart beat faster and faster. Before she knew, she already threw herself to Hankyung. She wrapped her arm around Hankyung's neck and hid her face to his shoulder. Hankyung slowly wrapped his arm around Eun Ji's waist.
No further question because both of them already knew the answer.

A week after that night, Hankyung asked Eun Ji to have dinner with him. Hankyung wanted to introduce her to Heechul and Siwon. He chose the small Chinese restaurant near Super Junior's dorm. For privacy, Hankyung booked a small room only for them.
Eun Ji nervously waiting Hankyung to came. At his request, Eun Ji came early to the restaurant. Having relationship with an idol need special treatment to not get caught by press or fans. Eun Ji tried to learn this.
After half an hour waiting, Hankyung arrived in the restaurant with Heechul and Siwon. When he saw Eun Ji, his smile got wider. He sat beside Eun Ji and gestured his two friends sat across them. "Finally we can meet the girl who took Hankyung's heart away!" Heechul exclaimed, made Eun Ji blushed. "Hello, I'm Eun Ji. Nice meeting you," Eun Ji greeted Heechul and Siwon.
"Nice to meet you, too. Although we saw the episode but we can meet face to face," said Siwon. After that short introduction, Hankyung asked for the menu and ordered dinner. During dinner, both Heechul and Siwon bragged about Hankyung. Hankyung is a great chef. Hankyung is a good dancer. Hankyung has that soft voice everytime he talk. Hankyung this and Hankyung that.
"Come on! Save some so I can tell Eun Ji myself!" Hankyung protested. All of them laughed so hard. Eun Ji felt happy. Both Hankyung's best friends welcome her with warmth and full acceptance. She squeezed Hankyung's hand under the table and the Chinese man squeezed back. Eun Ji felt grateful.
Before Hankyung took Eun Ji home, Heechul took her hand. "Promise us that you will take a good care of Hankyung. This is the first time I saw him head over heels with a girl. You must be a special girl if you can stole Hankyung's heart."
Eun Ji looked at Hankyung and the man smiled. She looked back to Heechul. "I promise Heechul-oppa. I will take a good care of Hankyung-oppa. I won't break his heart. Ever."
"You heard that, Siwon?" Heechul laughed and released Eun Ji's hand. Siwon chuckled. "You better keep your promise, Eun Ji-ah. If you break it, I can't imagine what he will do to you," said Siwon. Heechul smacked Siwon's head, but missed.
"Knock it off! I must take Eun Ji home. See you at the dorm," said Hankyung. "Aaw, you send us away. How could you," Heechul pouted. "Thank you for the dinner, hyung. Nice to meet you, Eun Ji-sshi," Siwon smiled. Heechul and Siwon waved to the couple and walked home to the dorm.
Hankyung took Eun Ji's hand, but the girl released it. "Not here, Oppa. Later," said Eun Ji with warning tone. Hankyung undestood. Both of them walked separately to Eun Ji's apartment. When they arrived in the lobby, Hankyung quickly took Eun Ji's hand and they walked to the elevator.
Once the elevator was closed, Hankyung hugged Eun Ji. "Thank you for tonight," he whispered. Eun Ji tightened her hug. "No. Thank you for tonight."
They arrived in Eun Ji's floor. Eun Ji pulled Hankyung out from the elevator. In front of her door, Eun Ji put the keys to the knob and unlocked it. She turned around to Hankyung. "You want to stay here tonight?" she asked. All she got as an answer was Hankyung locked her lips with his. Surprised, Eun Ji kissed Hankyung back and wrapped her arms around his neck. The kiss was sweet for both of them.
When they broke the kiss, Hankyung cupped Eun Ji's face. Eun Ji smiled and turn around to opened her door.
She walked inside her apartment and looked back to Hankyung, as if she invited him to come. Hankyung accepted it and walked into her apartment. Slowly he closed the door and kissed Eun Ji again.
That night, both of them felt they completed each other.
