One (1/1)

“Lose Control”, Kyungwon says rolling the “r” with a cheesy wink aimed at her best friend Minkyung. They're in the campus dance practice room and the rest of their dance squad screams appropriately as if they were the audience at one of their live dance shows. Siyeon runs to turn on the sound system with Dino flashing the girls a thumbs up.Minkyung plays along and lightly knocks her fists against Kyungwon's shoulders as she dances around the younger girl. As the music starts building up to their cue  their bodies move to the familiar beat.

The music takes over and the room is lost in their performance........(Flashback)

Kyungwon doesn't know why she joined the dance team when she's already drowning in her fashion classes which take up most of her time. Maybe it was the need for change from the dreary sewing room where she practically lives, or maybe it's her original interest in music and the thrill of performance, and it definitely had helped that the tall girl who had been stationed at the dance crew table during their campus activity fair. Kyungwon appreciates beauty when she sees it, she's a fashion major after all. To be honest she's perusing the activity fair with the idea of scouting out possible models for her year end show that all fashion majors participate in.Seeing the way the girl had effortlessly pulled off the long draping sweater above a simple dance crew t-shirt that accentuated her tall slim build had unconsciously drawn her to the girl. And while models don't really need to be pretty, that's just an bonus that Kyungwon's going to have to live with. She hadn't even realized that the girl was standing in front of a trifold calling for dancers but she did notice the enticing bowl of sweets that was meant to draw in innocent activity fair goers. “Feel free to take one” the tall girl smiles and her eyes become beautiful crescents, and Kyungwon almost feels her heart skip a beat. Mentally slapping herself for letting herself feel that way about a stranger Kyungwon reaches towards the bowl the girl is offering. At the last minute, the girl pulls the bowl away with a giggle “But first, please give me your name, number, and school email so you can join the email list. We practice every Tuesday at 9pm in the dance practice room”. Kyungwon feels her face twist into a childish pout as the girl playfully waved the bowl of sweets as bait. The girl laughs again “Ahhh you're so cute, my name is Minkyung, please join, I'm sorry for messing with you but you had such a serious expression”. Kyungwon straightens up to her full height, noting that while she considered herself on the tall side, the girl in front of her actually seemed to be slightly taller. “Hello, I'm Kyungwon” she replies simply before  adding, “I'll give you my information, but only if you agree to be my model”giving the girl a cheesy wink while scrunching up one side of her face. “You're a design student?” Minkyung asks surprise noted on her face. “Thought design students were all stuck up and too cool to talk with the other departments, huh” Kyungwon continues with a genuine smile this time. “You know, you're right, there are people like that, but most of us are just dorks, cool fashionable dorks” Kyungwon finishes with a cheesy ending pose making a v with her hand. Minkyung giggles again before lightly touching the girl's arm. “Ahh you really are cute.”Right then, a tall boy with a youthful face and curly hair walks by and smiles at Minkyung, getting lots of interested students he asks? “I'm working hard, I even signed myself over to be Kyungwon's model to have her sign the list, Minghao“, Minkyung says with a slight pout while gesturing at Kyungwon.Kyungwon's heart does that thing again.….They don't see each other for a week as they don't share any classes, and Kyungwon goes back into her routine of class, sewing, eating, sleeping. That is until an email pops into her myriad of school emails. It turns out, fashion dorks are decent dancers and Kyungwon quickly becomes part of the crew. As intimidating her first impression may be, she assures them it's just because school turns her into a zombie, and the moment she opens her mouth they realize that Kyungwon's an unintentionally funny girl with a soft heart.It's another Tuesday evening and Kyungwon finds herself neglecting her incredibly fascinating history of fashion essay that she's just dying to research about, to spend time joking and playing around with the rest of the crew. She's not just there to see Minkyung's body waves and the way her sweat gleams off her neck after a particularly difficult practice, she's just there to dance her stress away, that's it. Minkyung grabs onto the snickers bar that Kyungwon is busy gnawing on and takes a bite out of it. Kyungwon tries to ignores the way that they just indirectly kissed, and tells her squealing mind to calm down, this is normal, this is what best friends do, she repeats to herself. Minkyung slides down the mirror and rests her head on Kyungwon's shoulder resting for a moment after practicing for their new dance. Her chest is heaving from their newest song “In the Middle” and Kyungwon has to pretend to be really interested in the nutritional facts on her snickers bar to keep her mind off the way Minkyung looks so intensely through the mirror while practicing her expressions.It turns out, that while her movements are a  still a little rough, and she's still a bit shy, Kyungwon is quite popular with the audience. Her expressions and tanned skin radiating from the stage lights lead to  there being a disproportionate scream from girls who are cheering as the dance crew performs. Minkyung almost thinks she hears a pterodactyl cry from somewhere in the audience, and she doesn't know why that makes her feel a little weird in her chest.As they make their way off stage, girls rush to crowd around a flustered Kyungwon, some holding flowers and others asking for an autograph. Strange how they didn't bring her anything to sign...oh...”Minkyung's frown deepens as with an loud horse-like laugh Kyungwon reaches out tucking a fan's hair behind her ear before reaching forward to sign her cheek.“Minky, they really like me!” Kyungwon says tugging happily at the older girl's hand as the crew walk together to celebrate with a drink. Normally the sight of an excited Kyungwon holding tightly onto her arm like a koala would have made Minkyung smile so hard her eyes would form crescents, but for some reason she can't quite smile as she remembers the image of a girls boldly asking a clueless grinning Kyungwon to sign for them, some even walking up boldly and having her sign on their body.At the bar Minkyung walks straight up to the bar and rattles off her drink order as if she were a regular. The bartender gives a slight smile at the girl's apparent knowledge of drinks that didn't just involve fake plastic umbrellas and cute names. After a few more drinks she decides as an unnie she should probably go check on Kyungwon to make sure she wasn't getting into trouble or breaking things. Once, Minkyung had handed Kyungwon the dance club posterboard to hold for one minute. Just one minute, but when she turned around, she was greeted by a sheepish girl trying to hold two bent pieces of poster board together. Minkyung had laughed incredulously at how much trouble her fellow college junior could get into without supervision for one minute.She hears the girl first, easily detectable by her horse laugh, before Minkyung sees Kyungwon interrupting a couple while seemingly begging for a piece of chicken from their meal. Gosh, why does the dork always think about eating, what a light weight. Minkyung comes up from behind her and grabs her by the shoulders dragging her away from the poor worried looking couple. “Oh Minky, I was looking for your” Kyungwon says folding her arms possessively around Minkyung's waist and burrowing her face in Minkyung's shoulder. Her short hair tickles Minkyung's cheek. ….

“Could you help me?” Minkyung asks. She knows that no matter how focused Kyungwon can get, if she asks, the other girl would willingly help.  Kyungwon follows obediently like a puppy as they walk into Minkyung's dorm and lock the door after them. Not that it's really necessary because Minkyung's roommate Eunwoo is hardly ever in the room. Closing the blinds, Minkyung turns around and gingerly lifts her shirt over her head. Minkyung's shape is mesmerizing. It's a body most girls would envy, her proportions are beautfiful. Long slim torso, blooming into womanly hips and a deep curve where her spine appears. Kyungwon hears herself gulp, Minkyung isn't the shapelessly thin figures that they draw in her design figures class, but she's so beautiful Kyungwon can't take her eyes off of the sight in front of her.After a moment too long, she reaches for the medicated bandages on Minkyung's desk, and comes closer trying to not to make it awkward. She gently prods the taller girl's shoulder, watching for any indication as to where the pain is coming from. Suddenly she hears the older girl's intake of breath and she slowly applies the bandage. There's only one problem. Minkyung's bra strap is in the way, so mind over matter Kyungwon reaches out to slip the strap down her shoulder and finishes applying the bandage.Minkyung turns around to face her, strap still slid down revealing her bare shoulder and Kyungwon suddenly feels ashamed. Minkyung is her mentor, her best friend, her soulmate really, and here she is feeling things she shouldn't. Feelings that could ruin their friendship, things that could make the older girl lose her trust in her and suddenly Kyungwon's mind halts as she scrambles to find the girl's shirt and hand it back to her, her eyes averted the whole time. As much as Kyungwon wants to let her fingers dance over the girl's pale beautiful skin, as much as she wants to kiss the delicate collarbone and embrace her she knows that their friendship and Minkyung's companionship means more to her than whatever her racing heart wants, no craves, she pulls away quickly. Minkyung puts a finger on her chin and slowly lifts her face. Kyungwon keeps her eyes locked onto Minkyung's glimmering ones and she feels herself  “Lose Control.”…When Minkyung's with Kyungwon she feels as if everything will be alright. No matter what kind of indescribable feelings she feels, she somehow feels safe when they're just sitting together shoulder to shoulder, as she leans on the girls wide shoulders looking over at her textbook. “Kang Kyungwon cute” she says while she plays with the girl's short locks while Kyungwon neatly organizes her notes. For a girl who looks so laid back and easy going, Kyungwon is actually a neat freak and Minkyung finds that ironic fact both hilarious and cute. The blonde girl's lips curl up at the edges betraying her as she retorts “Stop making fun of me Minky, you know I hate it when things are everywhere” she says while finishing up and closing her notebook. It's these little things that make Minkyung's heart flutter as she gets to know the other girl. Not the way her fangirls see her, as the confident dancer with the searing gaze (though that sure is something else), but as the cute kid stuck in a women's body who is now struggling to fit her binders quickly into her bag as Minkyung waits.“I've found a new choreo for the last spring performance” Minkyung says, boldly grabbing Kyungwon's hand and bringing them to the center of the deserted dance studio. It's past midnight, and the only reason they have access to the building is because Minkyung, being the dance co-president has the key.The silence on campus is eerie at first, the feeling of a building without a breathing soul is unsettling, but walking together their fingers brushing and a light blush coloring their cheeks, it feels perfect.Minkyung turns on the music and gently presses on Kyungwon's shoulders indicating for her to sit down and observe the movements first.

Hope you're ready, I'm gone make you lose control.Minkyung's movements meld with the music and Kyungwon is mesmerized. She's so into it she doesn't even realize that the music has stopped and Minkyung is in front of her looking into her eyes. “Got that Kyungie?” she says while dragging Kyungwon to the middle of the practice room with a twinkle in her eyes, pleased at the effect she has on the younger girl.Minkyung's dated plenty of boys, she was quite popular in high school. It's one of the reasons she wanted to attend a larger college, so that for once she could blend into the background. However, how she feels around Kyungwon is all new to her. As they get used to the dance, Minkyung can't help but notice the intense focus that Kyungwon has whenever she's giving it her all. Her normally dorky appearance in Minkyung's mind is replaced by this Kyungwon, with her bangs slightly sticking to her forehead and her breath coming out in little puffs as she focuses on the new moves.“You're beautiful” she hears herself softly blurt out. They're the only ones in the room, there's no way Minkyung's going to be able to play that one off. ….“Don't fall for me” Kyungwon says easing the tension in the room with her signature wink while twirling towards Minkyung. Laughing she lightly knocks on Minkyung's shoulder. Minkyung doesn't know whether it's relief or disappointment that she feels.It's a week before their dance showcase, and a week after that is Kyungwon's fashion show which is the majority of her grade for that semester. It's a hectic week, needless to say she barely sees Minkyung, and for that case even her roommate Eunwoo barely gets a glimpse of her face. Her sudden disappearance shouldn't affect Minkyung the way it does, she's got plenty of people to hang out with, and meetings with the co-captains Nayoung and Minghao. It's been three days with out word from the girl and Minkyung finally builds up the courage to go and find her. She's brought bribes because she knows the girl can't refuse food offerings. Marching up to Kyungwon's dorm, she hesitates at the door. Taking a deep breath because she doesn't really know how to explain herself. “Uh, hey Kyungwon, I've really really missed you and your stupid face in the dance practice room.” Definitely no. “Hey Kyungwon, I made extra cookies, and I know you love to stuff your face”. Okay, more natural, that's good.Knocking she's greeted by Eunwoo in a facemask with her hair tied messily to the side. It's a clay mask that stiffens and prevents your face from moving much. Eunwoo's face is stuck in a serious expression and Minkyung suddenly feels an urge to tickle the younger girl just to see her reaction. Eunwoo jerks around and giggles while her face stays frozen in that serious expression. Minkyung doubles over in laughter at how cute the younger girl looks. “Unnie, you're so mean, you're just like Kyungwon!” Eunwoo shouts indignantly, peeling off the mask to make full use of her facial expressions to form a pout.Minkyung's breath hitches, are they really that similar. Ruffling Eunwoo's hair affectionately she finally notices the absence of said girl. “Speaking of Kyungwon where is she?” Minkyung questions. “Haven't seen her all day, probably squirreled away in a dark corner of the fashion building” Eunwoo says, her forehead slightly wrinkled in concern. “She's been out late every night this week, I've barely seen her, the only reason I know she comes in is the snickers wrappers that magically appear in the garbage bin” Eunwoo continues. Sighing Minkyung sets her bribe of homemade cookies on Kyungwon's bed, and quickly adds a note from the stack of sticky notes on Kyungwon's desk.“Kyungwon-ie,

Here's some cookies I made with my own hands, bet you're touched ;), sleep well and I'll see you at the showcase! ~Minkyung

p.s. If you want to find me to thank me, I'll be on the roofBidding Eunwoo a good bye, with one last chuckle at the girl's pout at her little joke earlier, she turns and walks up the steps to her favorite spot to think. The university is still in the city, but far out enough to see the stars when it's not cloudy. The stars remind her of her home, a small town where the stars are  extra bright, unhindered by the competition of bright city lights. She'd spent countless sleepless nights just staring up into the night sky imagining all the legends and constellations, but mostly just reveling in the thought of how vast and immense the universe was. It put her worries in perspective, and it was just peaceful to do nothing but lie in silence.The closest place to this was the roof of their building, which had soon become her place to go when she wanted to feel like she was all alone in her own world. She must have fallen asleep because she jolts awake when she feels a soft shake of her shoulder. Kyungwon is lightly tapping her with a foot. Minkyung leaps up as fast as her half asleep brain will allow her and tackles the girl in a hug.She smells lovely. It's not the strong scent of a perfume or lotion that she smells from Kyungwon, instead it's the scent of clean laundry and a homey scent that makes Minkyung want to just melt into the embrace and stay that way. Finally pulling away she notes the dark circles that rim the girl's eyes, and the way her face is sunken from lack of sleep. Rather than asking, she just pulls the girl down offering her shoulder up as a pillow for the other girl who gratefully sits quietly. “This is where I go when I miss home and want to be alone”, Minkyung explains. Kyungwon hums in acknowledgement, her eyes gazing upwards into the night sky. “I'm sorry for disappearing on you, I've just been so busy with course work, and I've missed you. The cookies were delicious.” Minkyung says speaking in a rushed tone. “Wait, you said my cookies were great and you missed me” Minkyung teases, her eyes twinkling like the stars.Kyungwon's glad it's dark because surely Minkyung would have seen the flush of her skin when she realized what she had accidentally let slip. “It's okay, I did too” Minkyung adds quietly, leaning her head once again on Kyungwon's shoulders.They lapse into a comfortable silence, each listening to the other breath, when suddenly Minkyung gives a little shiver. Kyungwon silently offers her sweater, which Minkyung attempts to decline but the other girl's already pulled it off and has draped it around Minkyung's shoulders with her signature cheesy wink that never fails to make Minkyung giggle.When it's clear that they're both too sleepy, Minkyung gets up and Kyungwon follows like  a puppy, as they walk back. When they're at Kyungwon's door, they just stand there, neither wanting to leave first. Kyungwon feels that rush she felt when she was alone with Minkyung in the older girl's dorm helping her apply her bandage. To be honest she's been trying to distance herself, to deny those feelings, dangerous feelings that could disrupt their comfortable friendship.Kyungwon turns to go into her room when Minkyung suddenly grabs her wrist and softly says “I really meant it. When I said you were beautiful, I meant that I think you're attractive. Not seeing you for these days has made me realize just how much I've come to depend on you and I don't know I just know that I like you too much, and it's not normal? But Kyungwon I...” Kyungwon's heart does that thing again, and finally, she acts on it. Closing the distance between them she gently presses her lips to Minkyung's giving the girl an answer to her confession of sorts. Minkyung clutches onto the front of Kyungwon's t-shirt while Kyungwon's hands rest on the older girl's waist. Kyungwon's always thought that she could control her feelings, that maybe if she ignored them they would be able to continue on as if nothing was out of the ordinary, but Minkyung just had a way of making her lose control. Their kiss becomes more desperate and needy as Minkyung's hands clutch tightly to the front of her shirt preventing her from moving away and Kyungwon happily reciprocates nibbling lightly on Minkyung's lower lip as she deepens the kiss.It's everything she had ever imagined and more. Kissing Minkyung felt so right, and being close to her gave her a feeling of well-being that made all her worries disappear temporarily as they were lost in their own world.Finally pulling away gasping, Minkyung rested her forehead against Kyungwon's. Their hearts beat in time, and their smiles light up the dark hallway like stars.…..The showcase goes great, and Minkyung and Kyungwon's dance to Lose Control is clearly a hit as Kyungwon's pterodactyl screaming fans seem to prove. The show ends and Kyungwon is once again surrounded by fan girls who are squealing and asking for her signature. As Minkyung begins to pull away to the backstage section she suddenly feels a pair of arms wrap around her waist. “I noticed last time, Minkyung, are you jealous? Do you want my signature too” Kyungwon adds a hint of mischievous causing her eyes to gleam when Minkyung looks back at her. “What, who'd be jealous of you” Minkyung splutters unconvincingly. Kyungwon nibbles on her shoulders and slowly draw the older girl in for a kiss. “So how about that signature” Kyungwon says running her hands under Minkyung's shirt, running her fingers lightly over her stomach.                                                                                                              One of these days this girl is going to drive her crazy, and make her lose control, but if it's Kyungwon, then maybe it's okay to lose control. .......Author's Note: Gosh, this was supposed to be a oneshot but I wanted to cut it a bit for dramatic effect? Not sure about how choppy this sounds, but I just wanted a one shot for 2kyung because they're honestly too cute, and it's been so hard not writing about them, lol!  sidenote: My college roommate irl is a fashion designer, and I feel like I'm learning so many things through pure osmosis ^^. But why is my fashion sense still so bad? Lol!!!
