Fake Protagonist // Hwang Hyunjin

Chapter Thirty Two

I fiddled with my fingers that is placed on my laps nervously as Hyunjin pulled over outside of the venue. My heart beats so hard as I look out at the window.

There are a lot of crowd surrounding the place. Inside and outside. I bit my lips nervously, suddenly afraid to get out of the car.

"Nervous?" Hyunjin asked me with a bit of worry laced in his tone. I turned to look at him with a nervous smile, nodding my head.

He raised his hand to pat my head softly. "Don't be nervous, I'll always be right by your side" he smiled sweetly as he told me.

I returned his smile, nodding my head as I tried to calm my breathing. Without realising, Hyunjin leaned in to kiss my cheek before quickly opening his door.

"Wait here, I'll open the door for you" he said, leaving the car. I followed his order and waited for him to walk around the car before opening the door for me.

Him walking out of the car has caught the crowd's attention which is now slowly surrounding the car. Hyunjin hold out his hand for me to take. I gulped hard, slowly reaching for his hand as I got up to leave the car.

Loud gasp from the crowd could be heard as they don't even hide the fact that they're taking our pictures and even videos.

I tried my best to control my expression and walked inside the venue with Hyunjin quietly. He have intertwined our hands together and I can feel how he slowly caress the back of my hand with his thumb, reassuring me that everything will be okay.

As we finally reached the door which led us into the fanmeeting, I took a glance at Hyunjin and he gave me a reassurance look with a small smile on his lips.

"Just follow my lead" he leaned to whisper in my ear. I smiled, nodding my head.

Hyunjin teared the door open slightly after. Just like what I agreed, I followed his lead with our intertwined hands.

"He will be here soon, everyone. Hyunjin told me that he was stuck in a traffic" Mr Kim made up and obvious lie to the audience before his eyes caught our figures. Horror was plastered on his face.

As we advanced our way towards the stage, the crowd starts to realise and acknowledge of our presence. I can hear faint gasp from everywhere as sounds of camera clicking could be heard and blinding flashes slightly blinded my eyes.

I glanced at the stage where other casts, director and script writer sat. As expected, they didn't save a seat for me.

My eyes caught Felix who's grinning widely and got up from his seat. I saw him talking to one of the staffs before the staff walked away and brought another chair and place it in between Hyunjin's and Felix's.

"Have a seat, Y/N" Felix grinned proudly as soon as Hyunjin and I reached the stage. I thanked him with a small smile, glad to have someone that happy to have me here.
