After Moon

After Moon 04

Are you avoiding me? She couldn't help but mentally ask.

The award show ended. They were preparing to leave until Hoseok and Jimin popped by their dressing room to say hi.

She stared at the door, waiting for someone but it had been a few minutes already but no one showed up.

"Don't worry," she looked to the side. It was Jimin whose arms were around Mina's waist. He looked like he didn't want to let the girl go anytime soon.

"He's just gathering up some courage," Jimin continued. She furrowed her brows at what the guy said.

She felt like it had made things even more complicated. She was now nervous. Different thoughts were starting to cloud her mind again.

She shook her head. Don't rush and just wait for him. She breathed in deep.

She breathed in deep and tried to compose herself, good thing she was still sitting straight like how she usually does. She could feel the piercing gazes at her side. She didn't even need to look back to know who it was coming from.

Everyone stood up and so did her group. She couldn't help but look to the side. Why are you hiding? Are you keeping something from me? She wanted to furrow her brows as she saw him at the back of Taehyung.

They were now at the third day of the big award show they attended and it was in Hongkong. Both her group and his group were seated closely to one another.

She looked again in front. Don't even try to tell me you miss me. She mentally complained. It had been a week already since their last conversation and she was still waiting for his messages.

She looked again to the side and as she did, their eyes met. Both were staring intently at each other, as if they were talking. His gaze was warm and longing and she loved how he looked at her.

Her group didn't perform that night so they were given the chance to enjoy every bit of the performances for that night.

His group were the last performers again for the night. She enjoyed their stage so much.

She bit her lower lip as she saw him in an all-white suit walking to the center of the stage looking so dashing. How can I not miss you? She mentally told herself.

It was already time to announce the grand prize winners of the night. His group was called first to receive the Album of the Year. Everyone stood up and applauded them. She was really proud of them.

To their shock, they also won the Song of the Year. They actually didn't expect it. It was their third time in a row. Jihyo delivered the gratitude speech first. Also, she was given the chance to speak too.

The last grand prize of the night, Artist of the Year, was once again given to them. No one deserved it like his group did.

During their speech, everyone was emotional. She didn't see it coming. Her other members also cried with the guys. Both their groups had developed a friendship already. She could feel tears filling up her eyes while looking at how emotional the guys were. She also knew the struggles both their groups had so she understood why the guys were very emotional at that moment.

Everyone gathered on stage again at the end of the award show. She was worried about him and his members. She wanted to personally congratulate them but she'll wait until the award show ended.

She smiled looking at Momo caressing Hoseok's back. Of all people, you wouldn't expect a very cheerful person like Hoseok to be so emotional like that earlier in the stage.

They were now at his group's dressing room. Right after the show when people had started leaving, her group immediately rushed to his group to comfort them.

Yet, when they got inside the room, he was nowhere to be found. She looked to the other side. There was Taehyung who had his head on Sana's shoulder. The guy had red, puffy eyes. Sana was stroking the guy's face to make him feel better. These two were not saying something but she knew there was something going on with both. She smiled at that thought.

In the corner of the room was Yoongi who was lying on the couch, his head on Jihyo's lap. Jimin, who had his arms around Mina's body was on the other couch too.

She looked at the door, seemed like she was just waiting for nothing. She sighed. She stood up and decided to just go back to her group's dressing room.

As she opened the door, her eyes widened as he was just right behind it. She wanted to hug him at that very moment yet she stopped herself from doing so.

"Chukahamnida," she greeted and bowed to him. He looked shock at her actions. She then walked past him.

She halted as she felt something stopping her. He managed to hold onto her hand. She looked at their hands then at him.

Next thing she noticed was he had brought her to an empty dressing room. She furrowed her brows at him.

A minute had passed but he wasn't saying anything. She sighed before turning her back at him.

One step, she was able to take one step away from him until she felt his strong arms around her waist.

"Bogoshipo," he whispered. She froze on the spot when she heard his confession. They remained like that for a few minutes.

He let go of the hug, turned her body and cupped her chin to make her look at him. She stared at him intently. He looked like there was something he wanted to say.

"Please trust me," he managed to say before giving her a peck on her forehead.
