"Oh god, Nova... what the fuck did you do?"
"I think I insulted him."
"...and he still asked you out??? There has to be quite the story to this."
"Oh god, I'm going to need popcorn and stronger alcohol. Mother?"
"Fill me up, but without the peach."
"So just straight-up prosecco?"
"Listen to your mother and fill me up. Nova's too while you're at it. I think she's gonna need it."
Nova nodded her head in agreement as she held out her glass.
The chaotic warm-up ended as quickly as it started. Within moments, both groups were whisked back into the theatre to begin setting up backstage.
As much as Nova wanted to go and watch the performance, her help was needed back in the dressing room where the stylists were busily setting up outfit changes.
The guys were planning on staying in their outfits for the My Universe performance since the first of three awards they were nominated for was scheduled right after. They would then change back into their original suits for the rest of the award show until their Butter performance at the end of the night.
It was rather chaotic trying to press and organize their Louis Vuitton suits while simultaneously preparing their yellow suits for the performance scheduled at the end of the show. Although Nova knew these stylists were good at what they did, she could tell they could use an extra hand.
Besides, it helped her get to take time to process everything that had occurred. Especially her interaction with Seokjin.
Was he really flirting with her? Or just trying to make her feel better?
Her thoughts began to spiral as she tried to process whether or not Seokjin would actually be into her or if he was just being nice.
Sure, they had hit it off from the start but it hadn't even been a week. There was no way in hell he liked her in that way. He had a super charismatic personality with a sense of humor that always put everyone in the best of moods.
His public persona was a naturally flirty one.
That was it, she rationalized to herself. He wasn't flirting. Seokjin was just being nice.
Before she could dive deeper into her thoughts, word had quickly spread that the guys won their first award of the night.
Soo-Young texted Nova asking her to help with translating press releases and writing statements from HYBE for the different American media outlets. She kept busy for the duration of the ceremony since the guys won all the awards that they were nominated for. Being the first Asian act to win Artist of the Year made them the talk of the night.
