The Alastair Awards!

You stood there in front of the mirror, studying yourself. You wore a beautiful sleeveless silk deep blue dress that flowed prettily. Your hair was done up in loose curls,your makeup complimented your outfit, making you look put together.

Maybe the whole, bringing Taemin's stylist over wasn't a bad idea.

Taemin himself walked into the room, "Damn girl, you look amazing", he complimented, "that is definitely your colour"

You turned around to face, him, smiling, "Thanks, you clean up well"

He wore a black suit, with a blood red dress shirt underneath, and a few white ruffles at the wrists and collar for the effect. He was going to be performing at the Awards, so his outfit had to exude some of those vibes as well.

"Shall we leave?", he asked, extending his arm for you to take, "I'll be meeting Eileen there anyways"

"Let's", you hooked your arm in his and the two of you walked out to Taemin's car. You had managed to talk him out of getting his company to rent a limo for the event, thank god.

The ride was silent, a comfortable silence that you were used to with him. You were slightly nervous, like you had been the last time you had been invited for the awards, but this time the nerves were different. This time you had contributed towards the awards, a part of you was going to be on display.

The Neo Culture Center had been decorated for the night, the lights blinking excitedly, announcing to the world it was the night of the Alastair awards.

Taemin parked, opening the door for you, "After you", he grinned, helping you get out and gesturing towards the red carpet leading towards the entrance, "I'm going to go find Eileen alright?"

You nodded, shoo-ing him off to find his girlfriend, looking ahead at the carpet, taking a deep breath.

It was the night. It had finally arrived.

Cameras flashed from all sides as you took the first shaky step down the red path that had been laid out for you, journalists shouting from the sides to get your attention. You smiled as genuinely as you could, but the butterflies in your stomach from the nerves refused to settle, and your 'smile' probably looked like a grimace.

Somehow you managed to walk down the carpet to the other side without completely embarrassing yourself, and walked into the actual inner area of the Awards, where the stage was.

You dropped the smile for a moment to marvel at the venue, taking in its magic. A different kind of magic to its days looks. Now it was something straight out of a fairytale, you could almost expect Cinderella to walk down, gown, glass slippers and all.

You looked across to see the chefs sitting at one table all together. Your table. You began making your way over but was quickly stopped by a hand on your shoulder, "Y/n"

You looked behind to see Taemin, wearing a wide smile, "Hey, okay this is Eileen", he gestured towards the pretty woman that stood beside him. You recognized her from a few movies and series that you had binged. You smiled, taking her hand and shaking it, "Hey, I'm Y/n, heard a lot about you!"

"Me too!", she said, "Wait-no, I've heard a lot about you, not me", she laughed good naturedly, "Oh are we holding you up?"
"Not really", you assured her, "I'm pleased to meet you honestly, was starting to wonder if you were just a bunch of pixels on a screen", you joked, "I absolutely loved you on 'Meet Me at Midnight!'"

"Thank you!", she said, "Taemin leave, i don't need you, only your friend"

Taemin looked distressed in the most comical way possible.
