Race To Your Heart |Lee Heeseung|

"That's... insane how you know that." He chuckled in amazement as he watched her continue to study the patterns on the ceiling.

"I like archeology, because imagine how the people of that time could've stood in the same spots that we are sitting in today, in their smelly posh dresses, and terrible wigs. It's like time traveling to the past." She giggled softly before looking at him.

"That's really cool." Heeseung almost whispered as he stared at her, making her look down at her plate again, before continuing to eat.

They talked for longer than she thought they would. It was like there were too many things that they had in common that brought on a conversation and then another, and then another.

Rea didn't know how long they had been there for, because time wasn't even in her mind.

Heeseung was handsome...

and smart... and funny...

It makes me wonder why he hides so much.

After a while the conversation comfortably died down, as they calmly sipped on the wine from their second bottle, watching the band and the cute older couples dance.

Rea had a small, relaxed smile on her lips as she watched them in endearment, but her vision was interrupted after a bit, making her look up at Heeseung.

"Do you want to dance?"

"Me?"

"Yes, who else?" He laughed as he extended his hand towards hers, which she hesitantly grabbed and stood up, leaving her glass of wine on the table.

Heeseung lead her to the center of the restaurant in front of the band, and placed his hands on her waist, making her place her hands on his shoulders.

She avoided gazing into his eyes, because she knew it would lead to no good in her heart.

As they danced to the soft jazz music, Rea looked at the band instead of him, making him almost chuckle.

He had a smirk on his lips as he stared at her, and his mind told him to pull her a little closer, making her look at him in surprise.

Without her control, her eyes got trapped in his. She couldn't help but stare at his features as her head tilted a little.

"What are you thinking about?" He asked in a whisper making her shake her head slowly.

"Nothing much. What are you thinking about?"

He pretended to analyze his thoughts before he nodded his head slowly.

"You."

Rea rolled her eyes playfully, making him laugh.

"I'm being serious. I'm having a lot of fun."

"...Me too." She hesitated, before saying the truth making him smile a little brighter.

As his hands pulled her closer, her heart started going erratic, but she didn't let it show as their faces were a lot nearer.

Heeseung continued staring into her eyes with no shame whatsoever, and she placed her hands together behind his neck, fighting the urge to close the distance.

His forehead gently met hers and she could hear herself mentally preparing for whatever he was planning to do.

But he only closed his eyes as they continued to dance. She smiled a little, before closing her own eyes, enjoying the music as she placed her arms more comfortably around his neck.
