Minho stepped into the brightly lit room, his eyes immediately traveling to the stage at the front. There were already many people, both seated and standing, but Minho's gaze immediately landed on the blonde-haired boy sitting at the edge of a long table who was seemingly distracted by his phone. Minho couldn't tear his eyes away; he's here. He's really here. 

Lost in thought, Minho was still processing the fact that he and his idol were in the same room when he felt a tap on his shoulder. "Excuse me, please keep moving," a staff member said as he turned around. "There are others waiting to enter."

Only then had he realised he had been so immersed in... staring at Hyunjin, that he had frozen on the spot. His mouth formed an O, and he quickly apologised. "Oh- sorry," he said hurriedly, bowing slightly before walking towards an empty seat. Minho sat down, placing the album in his lap before turning his attention towards the front once again. 

By now, Hyunjin had already noticed the ravenette's presence and was staring directly at him. When he noticed Minho had looked up, he smiled slightly. Which caused Minho to instantly shy away, a blush creeping onto his cheeks as he looked down. He stared so intensely at the album in his lap that had his gaze been a physical force, it would've already drilled a hole right through it. 

His mind, however, was most definitely not on the item in his lap. If making eye contact with Hyunjin for a second caused Minho to almost have an existential crisis, how would he be able to talk to him at all without embarrasing himself and interally screaming? Minho sighed. It's normal to feel this way when you're meeting your idol, right? 

He sure hoped so. 

A series of ping!s sounded from somewhere in his pocket, grabbing his attention. He pulled it out and looked at the screen, wondering who was texting him. 9+ notifications from Jisung? That's odd... he clicked on it.
