You took a deep breath before finally stepping out of the car. Your heels clacked on the ground as you walked and smiled. You then stopped as one of the staff instructed you to stand and pose for the cameras.
This is the first time you've ever been invited to an award show, specifically Gaon chart music awards. You're wearing this black elegant dress that covers your neck until above your knees. It also has this cape that goes until a little bit under the dress' length. And to top everything else, your stylist made you use this gold tinted metal belt.
Your artist also made you wear this gold leaf decorated black heels. The glam squad decorated your eyes with smokey eyes and your lips with a dark coloured matte lipstick. And for a personal touch, you wore these gold earrings that hang above your shoulders. It was beautifully decorated with mini butterflies and gold beads.
Your looks tonight were beyond amazing and your confidence was also over the roof.
You then continued to walk into the venue as you saw a group of 7 boys waiting on the side and one of the staff instructed you to enter the venue.
And after about 30 minutes, the stadium started to get crowded, people were sitting in their assigned tables and seats and were socializing with each other. Being a newbie, you didn't know what to do. Until someone beside you picked up a conversation. It was Eric Nam.
The conversation didn't end up long after, since the event was about to start. You've got the chance to exchange stories and jokes. He also said, "Maybe we should do a collaboration sometimes." And you just laughed as an agreement. "We should."
The hosts then started walking to the middle of the stage and introduced themselves. The night then started and everything was great.
Some of the artists were performing as well. There's MAMAMOO with HIP, MONSTA X with FOLLOW, BLACKPINK with Kill This Love, and others. You sang and tinily danced along to the songs you knew while sitting down, of course.
In conclusion, you had fun. Even though you didn't bring home any trophies, you still came home with a smile, not knowing that anyone in particular was staring at you the whole night from behind.

You woke up to the sudden call you got from your manager.
"Yeoboseyo," You lazily said while burying your head into your fluffy pillow.
"You should check your emails," she said, "I've sent you something. It's new. You'll be surprised."
"Jeongmalyo?" you asked lowly with both of your eyes still closed.
"Okay. Unnie, I'll call you later when I'm fully alive and after I check my inbox, okay?" you said to her.
And with your farewells, you ended the call and sighed. You then shot your eyes open.
You sit up and analyze your surroundings. You then walk out of the room and saunter over to your coffee machine to do your business.
You made yourself a cup of coffee and sat down in-front of your laptop. Your fingers then did their magic and before you knew it, your screen displayed the insides of your inbox and you opened up your manager's email.
It's a link to some kind of a new platform. You then clicked on the link and the headline made your eyes pop out of their sockets.
"MONSTA X's Wonho can't take his eyes off of solo artist Y/N"
Holy fucking shit. You then started reading the whole article which was posted about half and an hour ago. Oh wow, your sunbae plus bias was staring at you last night. You then grabbed your phone and called your manager. After a few seconds she picked up.
"Yeobose-"
"UNNIE. I'M SORRY BUT, HOLY SHIT," you said, almost yelling.
"I knew you'd react this way. So, some other news platform uploaded that too. 2 or 3. I don't think that this issue will be a hot one. At least not for a long time. Maybe just a few days," she said.
You then said, "Well, yea. I mean, he's just looking, right? And, he didn't give out any statements. Yet."
"Exactly," she said.
"Well, for now, maybe you should stay silent about this too," she continued.
"Of course. I will, don't worry," you said to her.
"Okay, I'm gonna have to go. I'll call you later, okay?" she said.
And not long after, the call ended. You sighed out of happiness to calm yourself down and to prevent an euphoric explosion from yourself.
You then realized that he didn't actually give out statements so then you thought to yourself, "Let's not get our hopes up." And after a full consideration, you decided to actually not get your hopes up. And as predicted, a few other platforms uploaded a similar article but the issue died down pretty quickly. 6 days to be exact.
So, here you are again, sitting in a cafe, reading a novel that recently caught your eyes while sipping your coffee once in a while, when you suddenly received a phone call from your manager.
"Y/N-ah," she said.
"Yes?"
"Guess what?" she said.
"What?"
She then said "You're gonna be on the cover of Jaelous Korea with Wonho! The shoot id in four days."
"Seriously?" you said, out of the needs to confirm.
"Yeah," she said.
She then continued to explain about the concept and others. Turns out, Wonho had agreed to do the shoot before you even know that there'll be a shoot. After a few minutes of explaining, then told you that she gotta go. And so you both decided to end the call and do your own businesses.
***
Today's the day, you'll be meeting him.
The last three days had been nothing but normal. You didn't really think about it that much. And so, here you are standing in front of the door with 2 cups of coffee in your hand. You've heard that he liked coffee so you bought one for him and one for yourself.
And before you could reach the door handle, a guy who's wearing a black Balenciaga cap stood next to you. As you felt his presence beside you, you turned your head to face him.
Holy fuck it's Wonho.
You slightly widened your eyes as you went speechless.
"Ah, you must be Y/N. Hi, I'm Wonho," he said while sticking his hand out for a handshake.
You then took his hand. "Oh yeah, I'm Y/N. And this is for you, by the way. I heard you like coffee," you said as you hand him one of the cups that you're holding.
"Ah thank you. I'm sorry I didn't prepare anything," he said shyly while taking it from your hand. "Ohh, it's okay," you replied.
"Should we go inside then?" he asked.
You smiled, "We should."
He then opened the door for you and followed you behind as you walked in. And after that, things were pretty normal. You both did a great job, and mini chats were developed along the way too. The shoot was relatively fun. You both laughed quite much and the photos turned out pretty natural. The whole crew loved how it turned out. And so, the session ended.
You both thanked the photographer and the whole crew before finally getting to leave together. As you walked side by side to the building exit, you both chatted.
"I was actually wondering. Did you know about the issue? The one where they caught me staring at you in that award show?" he hesitantly asked.
"Umm.. yeah. Why'd you ask?" you asked him back.
"I just wanna let you know that I didn't mean to make it look like that," he said, trying to clarify his actions from about two weeks ago.
"Like what?" you playfully asked.
He then started to nervously shake his hands and scratch the back of his neck. Seeing his gesture made you chuckle. You grabbed his hand and tried to make it stop shaking.
"Hey. Chill out. I was just messing. It's totally fine, I don't mind," you said.
He then lets out a nervous chuckle, "A-ah, okay. I was really worried that you'd be distant towards me. A-anyways, do you have any plans after this?"
"Umm, I don't think so. Why?" you asked.
He then nervously proceeded to ask you to get dinner, "Do you maybe want to eat? T-together? It's on me."
"Uhh," you instinctively let your eyes travel around as you try to remember if there's any forgotten schedule or meet ups in your head.
"Is that a yes or a no?" he asked, with a glint of hope in his eyes.
You then replied, "Okay. Kaja," as you took one of his hands and lightly tugged him outside. He cheesily smiled while trying to catch, probably grateful that somebody caught him looking at you. Grateful that the issue exists.
