"Excuse me." A voice was heard. They looked and it was Jeno. Nari felt relieved after seeing the boy's face. She looked at Jae-hwa at the eye, had a grip on his hand and yanked of her. Jae-hwa and Nari smiled at Grandma Kim as if nothing happened.

Jeno noticing some what a tense atmosphere around Nari. "Who's this? Ah Jeno-ya!" Grandma Kim greeted Jeno. Jeno bent down a bit to for grandma Kim to reach him She pinched his cheeks. "Aigo! Jeno-ya Doyoung told you gotten big but not this big!!" Grandma Kim gives him a big smile.

While Grandma Kim is babying Jeno, since Nari was out of Jae-hwa grip. Jae-hwa bent a bit to Nari. "You're lucky you can get a way from me this time." He whispers to her. A chill in Nari's spine appears to her every time this man speaks to her. Nari felt bold and wanted to speak her mind.

"You're lucky haven't been fired yet."

The girl muttered for him to hear. Jae-hwa was taken a back from the girl's comeback causing him to snicker. "You think you're so bold now?" Jae-hwa taunted the girl. He scans the girl's body language.

"You have no idea what I am capable of, neither does your family. So if I were you, I would be careful in choosing your words. You don't want something to happen right? Like last time..." Jae-hwa whispers to her again.

Nari wanted to hide herself this whole evening. Now she rather be dead just so she couldn't hear this agitating voice. Hearing this man speak, move, breathe, or anything he does makes Nari want to end it. Her surprise she didn't feel any panic attack yet.

But she still holding her breath, she had to be strong for herself.

Grandma Kim is babying Jeno, Jeno would get flattered by the compliments she would give him. In front of him was Nari and Jae-hwa. He could see it there. How Nari would get all tensed. Her breath being snitched. He didn't know exactly what they were talking about but one's thing for sure.

Nari wanted to get out of here.

It was basically a call for help

He's so supposed to be doing his job

Jeno decided to excuse himself with Grandma Kim. And immediately goes to Nari. "Oh Jae-hwa, would you mind if I have Nari for a bit. My friends and I were looking for her. We haven't mingled the whole time." Jeno said politely.

Jae-hwa takes a look of Nari, being frightened. He smiles at Nari then at Jeno. "Oh of course, of course Nari definitely deserves to see her friends." Jae-hwa said with weirdly high octave.

Nari being unsure on what she should do. Jeno takes her hand and escorts her out. Nari finally takes a big exhale, being relieved from getting away from Jae-hwa. Jeno didn't want to say anything, but it was good enough for him that she is feeling better.

Seeing her eyes, there were on the verge of tears. Her hand a bit shaky. Her bitting her lip to avoid breaking down this very moment. Her mind all foggy. She then sops her tracks, leaving the bodyguard alarmed

"You okay?" Jeno asks her. Nari looks at him and gives him a quick nod. "Jung, you sure?" He asks again. Nari gives him a quick yeah. But Jeno isn't being convinced. "I'm fine, it's just the champagne I've been drinking." She jokingly says.

As they continue walking the finally reach their crowd. Specifically NCT, Jeno and Nari were with Dream, Jiyoung, Shotaro, YangYang and Sungchan. "Noona!" Sungchan hugged her. "Holy shit Nari! Sungchan you made this dress?" Jiyoung freaks out.
Which causes all of them to be in awe in the dress.

Sungchan gives them a proud smug in his face and nods confirming that he is the 'genius' that made the dress. Nari laughs on how cute her little brother is. She gives him a light punch for him being a show off.

Jeno looks at her again, relieved that she is feeling a little better.

As the group just talks about nonsense, the band plays a more fast rhythm music. Older couples either go to the big space in the middle or just jam out in where they are. The younger people thought this was cute. The first to separate from the group was obviously Jiyoung and Jaemin.

Some cheers and laughs were they encouraging the two to dance and hopefully put a label while they're at it. The group continues to vibe with the music playing. Haechan then says. "Nari I bet you give Jeno a little dance over there." Nari looks at him as if he's weird.

"No way! Jeno looks like he got barely any moves. Plus this song is for old people." Nari defends herself. Jeno turns to look at her "Oh I got moves. I think you don't. And I also like this song." He says.

Haechan with his cocky look. Smiles and claps his hands together. "I guess we have it then, You two should dance together. Nari and Jeno, Jeno and Nari. Go go go!" He attempts to push them in the dance floor. Nari and Jeno try to resist it. Jeno looks at him says. "Haechan we don't want to dance, we're tired." He comes up with a excuse.

Haechan tried hard to push them some more while they protest at him. "Haechan, I am gonna kill you." The girl threatened.

"No, you're gonna thank me. " He smiles which made the two more done with him. And Haechan get what he wants so pushing all his strength, Jeno and Nari suddenly found themselves here.

"This is stupid." Nari mumbles only enough for Jeno to hear.

Not making any movements make them more awkward. Not deciding who to go first. Jeno takes Nari's left hand, spins her directly. Nari squals in surprise. Then pulling her in and out, then taking her right arm and putting it to his shoulder. And taking his left arm and putting it at her waist. Looking at Nari to see if she was comfortable.

Even to Nari's surprise she was comfortable when Jeno put his hand at her waist. Nari gives him a nod. And the continued dancing together.
