You tapped your foot anxiously on the floor, eyes darting around the room. It was getting closer and closer to your group's performance and you swore you could feel your stomach flip at the thought. You fiddled with your fingers uneasily, hands shaking as you did. Suddenly your whole body stopped, muscles tensing as you met the familiar kind eyes of your girlfriend.
Minjeong sent you a tight lipped smile, gaze softening as she saw the state you were in. The look in her eyes was enough to calm you immensely, you sent her a nod of gratitude. Both turning away with faint smiles gracing your lips, trying not to catch the attention of the cameras that surrounded you. Looking blankly at the stage, you mentally prepared yourself for the upcoming performance.
From the corner of your eye, you could just make out Aespa rising to their feet. Their manager led them as they made their way backstage, passing by you as they did. The girls bowing and smiling at every table they passed, Minjeong's stare lingering on you as she neared closer to your group. She bowed politely just as she'd done for every other idol, although she paused before moving on.
"You'll do great!" She assured, keeping a safe distance from you. "You too," you mumbled, sending her a shy smile. "I'll see you tonight," she winked subtly before taking her leave. Your members laughed amused by the pink tint that coated your cheeks, your gaze following Minjeong until she disappeared out of sight. "Our Y/n's shy!" Your leader exclaimed playfully, pulling you out of your daze.
They chuckled at your confusion, the maknae smacking your arm lightly. "More like whipped," your best friend chimed in. "Stop," you whined, covering your reddened cheeks in embarrassment. "Shh or you'll miss your girlfriend's show," your leader teased. Her words had your mouth snapping shut, eyes set on the stage before you. Another round of giggles erupted around you, but you couldn't care less.
You bopped your head to the familiar beat, eagerly awaiting the appearance of your girlfriend. Cheers echoed around the establishment as four girls began to rise from beneath the stage, your eyes shining with anticipation. Minjeong had told you little to nothing about what they had planned for today's showcase, only that it was going to be grand.
You'd practically begged her to give you any information in the weeks that led up to the award show. But to no avail, she refused to cave, only kissing your pout away in hopes of distracting you. Now the wait was finally over, and whatever you had imagined, this was superior. You swore your heart skipped a beat inside your chest as Minjeong's dazzling smile appeared on the big screen.
You wanted to personally thank the stylist for doing such a fine job at accentuating your girlfriend's figure. Everything from the outfits to the props was on par, not a thing out of place. They filled the stage with their presence, your leg moving on its own accord as it bounced in time with the music. Your jaw dropped in surprise on multiple occasions that evening, eyes basically pooping out of their sockets.
You held your breath at every stunt performed, yet everything was executed perfectly. The choreography was outer worldly, like nothing you'd ever seen before. When each member got a chance to shine, you had to fight off your smile during Minjeong's parts, which became increasingly difficult as the performance continued.
As it all came to an end, you let out a breath you didn't even realise you'd been holding. Minjeong's charming face appeared on the big screen one final time as she posed for the camera. Your cheeks heated up as she blew a kiss at the lens, dimple showing as she grinned happily. Sinking your teeth into your lips to conceal your smile, the voice of your leader calling you caught your attention. "We're up next," they said, linking their arms with yours as they dragged you backstage.

You hummed sleepily at the feeling of fingers running along your arm, eyes fluttering opened as you searched for warmth. "Hey," Minjeong whispered, cupping your face in her palms. "Hey," you rasped, leaning into her touch. She caressed your cheeks with the pads of her thumbs, a smirk slowly etching its way onto her face. "What?" You inquired curiously, raising an inquisitive brow.
"I heard you enjoyed my performance last night," Minjeong said smugly. "Whatever do you mean?" You feigned innocence, an uncontrollable whine passing through your lips as she pulled away. She reached for her phone before returning to your embrace, handing you the device wordlessly. Hesitantly, you unlocked it, expression morphing into one of embarrassment in an instant.
The screen displayed several pictures of you during Aespa's showcase, eyes glowing and mouth hung open. Groaning, you hid your face in Minjeong's neck, hearing her mirthful laughter echo around the bedroom. "You look so cute jagi," she cooed, earning a light smack on the shoulder. "All the fans agree with me too!" She exclaimed in a fit of laughter, your eyes widening as you looked at the phone once more.
Sure enough there were thousands of comments about your reactions to their performance. 'Y/n is Aespa's number one fan hands down', 'This is so adorable, their reactions are such a mood'. A pout was plastered on your face, looking at the photos of yourself in embarrassment. "At least most of them are positive yeobo," Minjeong grinned.
Much to your surprise, as you scroll further down, Minjeong was in fact correct. There wasn't a negative comment in sight, the thought leaving a triumphant smile on your lips. The recommended article at the bottom of the screen brought a satisfied smirk to your face. "It seems like I'm not the only one who enjoyed last night," you teased.
Minjeong's eyes widened comically at your words, she practically lunged at you to rip her phone from your grasp. "Stupid camera's," your girlfriend complained, looking at her own photos that were almost identical to yours. With a dopey grin you pressed a kiss to her cheek, pulling her back down to your arms. Both mirroring each other's expressions of amusement at the situation, unable to stop the laughter that floated around the room.
