After Moon

After Moon 02

"... The Fabulous Award goes to..." the video started. "Bangtan Sonyeondan!" a clip from the music video of their latest song played.

"Twice!" the announcer continued along with a clip of their latest song.

They needed to wait for the clip to finish before they could go on stage. Just the fact of receiving an award with him made her excited, if not, very thrilled. She couldn't wait to go on stage already.

"Congratulations!" the announcer greeted then showed a video of his group on the way to the stage. Her group then followed at the other side of the stage.

As both groups met at the center of the stage, her shyness started to kick in as she mentally told herself that they were in public, in an annual award ceremony filled with fans, other artists and loads of cameras at that.

Yoongi gave the first gratitude speech in behalf of his group. Jimin then passed the microphone to Jihyo. Jihyo took the mic, they introduced themselves and Jihyo gave the gratitude speech.

She looked at Jihyo as she gave her speech and smiled. At the back of her mind, this award ceremony must know about Yoongi liking Jihyo. She was mentally grinning. She promised herself to tease the older member as soon as they went backstage. Her savage, playful self was starting again.

Both groups then went backstage. Her group was ahead of his. She wanted to look at the back to take a quick glance at him. Sadly, their groups were assigned to different areas, very opposite to say. She pouted at this thought.

A smile slowly appeared on her lips as she felt warm hand on hers. She didn't even need to see who was already beside her. Instead, she looked around, they had reached backstage and the lights were slightly dimmed.

The pace of the other members started to slow down. Yoongi was already smiling sheepishly while Jihyo was blushing. Jimin had his arm around Mina's waist while Mina was smiling. Hoseok was poking Momo's cheeks, playing with her while Momo was pouting at the guy.

He managed to intertwine their fingers. This alerted her. She knew that once he intertwined their fingers, there was less chance he would let go.

"Mwo?" she whispered. She wanted to remind him they were still at the public eye.

"Mwo?" he mimicked what she did with a grin playing on his face.

She eyed at their intertwined hands to let him let go of the grip. He pouted and shook his head.

"Bangtan Sonyeondan, this way please," a member of the staff said.

As soon as she heard this, she let go of his hand but his grip still remained. She looked at him and raised her eyebrows, signaling him he should let go.

"Bogoshipo..." he mouthed then pouted again. He brought her hand to his lips and placed a peck at the back of her palm.

She looked at him while he did that. What he did touched her. "Nado..." she also mouthed as reply to what he just said.

"Twice, this way please," another member of the staff said.

He grinned at her before he let go of his grip on her hand. She swore she didn't want him to let go of it.

"I'll see you later," he said as he poked the left side of her cheeks, his favorite part of his face, the spot where her only dimple appears.

She smiled to him and nodded. Both groups then parted ways. It still amazed her how the guys managed to subtly express their affection to her and her members in a short amount of time at times like these.

The award ceremony has come to an end. His group received the grandest award for that night. She couldn't be any happier for his group and hers as well. Her group managed to grab 3 awards.

Everyone, all artists and presenters were asked to gather on stage for a photo. They did what they were asked.

She wasn't really comfortable around other guys. She didn't want to get to close to guys she didn't really know personally.

It wasn't until a few minutes later she had noticed that her group was just right behind his. She felt slightly giddy at that fact. She became a little at ease seeing him and his group there too.

She even found Hoseok slightly push him. Maybe, to get him a little closer to her. She mentally grinned at that action. Well, there's nothing wrong with her daydreaming, right?

Still, other boy groups were around them. She noticed a member of their brother group was just in front of her. She was gifted in the height department but the guy was a 6 footer, even when he bends, she'd still barely be seen.

She also needed to bend a little as Mina was just behind her and she wanted the older girl to be seen too. She didn't know where to put herself at that minute. She felt her knees started to give away until she squat for a second but still managed to pick herself up and stand a bit but still bending her legs.

She smiled as he saw him grab his friend lightly and push the guy to sit beside him as he was squatting.

One thing they had in common was they were both aloof of the opposite gender. He must have done that as the guy started to get closer to her.

Also, she noticed he could get a little possessive at times. She wanted to beam at that thought.

The photo session was finally concluded. She let out a huge sigh after that.

They had changed into their usual clothes. She wanted to see her before they left. She knew Mina and Momo were with the guys already. She wanted to follow the older girls.

She knocked at the guys' dressing room door but no one opened for her. She opened it slowly.

"Have you told her yet?" she heard Taehyung's voice.

"Yah! Jungkook~ah!" Taehyung called. Her eyebrows knotted hearing that.

"Have you told Tzuyu yet?" she heard. The knot on her eyebrows grew.
