↷ ballroom

@⭒ kim chaewon The stages of Chaewon’s physical excitement turned visible awestruck then appreciative on a reverted physical scale cemented his present grin as they briefly locked eyes. They haven’t gotten to the reason they were here yet it was clear he already made his girlfriend happy by his grandiose reservation. Although it wasn’t his first choice.

“ Before I discovered this lavish building I almost contemplated taking us to a dance hall instead. “ he begins to explain, trailing his attention back to the room and gesturing all the while “ Rather than a fancy chandelier, the other location had branches of white lights covering a much lower ceiling. I thought it appealing, really appealing, but the overall space looked more as if people went there to square dance. Wasn’t the vibe I was wanting. “ he scrunches his face, displaying further disfavor through a shake of his head as he continues “ So I kept searching while I was at work, and out of all potential candidates this one pleased me the most. Like, I /know/ I didn’t need to go high class, but…if you know me…I like to go by the motto “ Go big or go home “. “, he finally concludes with a huff of a laugh before landing a swift kiss to Chaewon’s cheek, uttering “ You’re welcome, baby. “

After stepping more inside the room so he may quietly close the door, he uses his free hand to dig into one of his trouser pockets to retrieve his phone, unlocking it to open his Spotify. Seemingly lost in thought, the rockstar taps his index finger against the back of the device a few times with a hum. Currently he had three versions of dance they could perform with respective music in mind: two inspirations derived from music videos and one classically freestyled. Though the pair is here to have fun for however long they wish, he’s nonetheless indecisive.

“ Right then… “, he slowly starts “ I can either play whatever…and we slow dance just as any other couple would…Or we can try to recreate something. Personally, i’m amazed by the extensive dance routine shown in Ed Sheeran’s ‘ Thinking Out Loud ‘ mv, but I could suspect you of wanting to do the choreo from ‘ Oh Caroline ‘. “ once more he sets his eyes on his partner “ What do you wanna do, babe? “

@⭒ matty healy The entrance alone of where they were heading was amazing, her eyes widening with lips slightly parted as she stared in awe from the grand appearance of the building he had lead her to. She took in every inch of it, though there was so much to look at she was sure it would take a few more minutes to take in the beauty of it all. The clicking of her heels could be heard on the floor, her arm hooked with Matty’s, still unable to believe that the whole place had been reserved out just for the two of them, on any normal night or event it’s probably bustling with people but today it was just theirs and that was perfect for a homebody like her.

With his words she’s anticipating the ballroom, she had only ever seen them in movies and pictures so to share seeing it for the first time with her most important person felt so special. She could tell they were getting closer with how the interior soon began to change, her free hand reaches up to hold against his bicep and gives a small squeeze. Her jaw drops in awe, it is truly as he said so, it was grand and beautiful, just as she would have seen on the screen.

“Babe, this is.. gosh there really is no words to describe how amazing this looks. You got all of this prepared for us, thank you baby truly.” She looks over at her boyfriend with an endearing smile, leaning over to press a kiss against his cheek to show even more of her appreciation.

@⭒ kim chaewon Clean shaven, hair gelled back, and dressed to the nines in a true blue suit that he formerly only wore once, he is prepared as tonight finally marks the date where he and the love of his life execute their earliest discussed plan to go ballroom dancing. Not once had he forgotten about agreeing to the activity, but rather a constantly busy schedule left him no choice than to put it on the backburner– for a good while. He’s thankful to have now been granted time to pursue the cliche date idea, recently having felt that this evening was a better time than any.

Walking hand-in-hand with his darling who dolled herself up for their special night, the male guides them into a large, vacant building that immediately gives an impression of luxury. It’s two storied, chandelier hanging, white walled, fine furniture lining and black and white diamond flooring interior design screamed as a placeholder for public regal events. Except tonight’s which was personally reserved to be a private and intimate one exclusive to him and his lady, and after halting for a moment to admire the aesthetic with a hushed comment towards the niceness of the place, he resumes his path up the staircase.

“ Wait ‘til you see the ballroom, my love, “, he says, glancing over at Chaewon with a giddy grin, then punctuating further admiration “ It. Is. Grand. “. and that’s all he needed to see to make a firm decision for their location, trekking the long corridor hung with various paintings until he reached an unlocked door; the other side revealing a spacious square of a ballroom that one would mostly see in royal cinema. There were more windows than walls that spared little of a scenic outside view with the only source of lighting cast overhead from a bigger and visibly more expensive looking chandelier, its atmospheric glow reflecting onto the smooth wooden floor.
