Song for the chapter: Dreams comr true by Aespa

Audrey's POV:

As we exited the concert venue, still buzzing with excitement from the unforgettable performance, Jaemin's voice broke through the chatter. "Audrey, where are you rushing off to? Let's wait here for a bit, the crowd is insane. It'll thin out soon," he suggested, his tone casual but firm.

I nodded, trusting Jaemin's judgment, and we lingered near the entrance as the crowd gradually dispersed. After a few minutes, Jaemin led us in a different direction, away from the exit. "Jaemin, that's not the way out," I protested, confusion creeping into my voice.

"I know, Audrey, but trust me, this way," Jaemin insisted, his eyes gleaming with mischief as he guided us through the backstage entrance. My heart raced with anticipation and confusion, but I followed his lead, Andres and Stella trailing behind me.

As we approached the backstage area, my confusion turned to disbelief. How had Jaemin managed to bypass security? I shot him a bewildered look, but he simply grinned and exchanged nods with the bodyguards, who greeted him warmly.

"What's going on, Jaemin?" I whispered, my voice tinged with excitement and confusion.

"It's a surprise, Audrey," Stella chimed in, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Just trust us."

Before I could respond, Jaemin led us to a door marked "Artists Only." My heart pounded in my chest as he opened it, revealing the bustling backstage area. And there, standing in the midst of it all, was Enhypen.

I gasped in disbelief, my eyes widening as I took in the scene before me. Stella and Jaemin exchanged knowing smiles, and Andres squeezed my hand in excitement. "You guys... you did this for me?" I whispered, my voice choked with emotion.

Stella enveloped me in a tight hug, her laughter ringing in my ears. "Of course, Audrey. You're my sister, and we wanted to make this night unforgettable for you," she said, her words echoing in my ears.

Jaemin grinned mischievously, his eyes twinkling with excitement. "Surprise!" he exclaimed, his voice filled with glee.

Andres wrapped his arms around me, pulling me close. "I'm so happy for you, Audrey. Let's make the most of this," he said, his voice filled with excitement.

With my heart overflowing with gratitude and joy, I stepped into the backstage area, ready to meet Enhypen and make memories that would last a lifetime.

As we stepped into the backstage area, the room buzzed with excitement. Enhypen greeted us with warm smiles, instantly putting us at ease.

Niki flashed me a dazzling smile, his eyes sparkling with warmth. "Audrey, it's so nice to meet you. Thanks for coming out tonight," he said, his voice soft and sincere. I felt my cheeks flush as I returned his smile, barely able to form words in his presence.

Stella sauntered over to Jake, a mischievous glint in her eye. "Hey there, Aussie heartthrob. You were absolutely stunning tonight!" she quipped, her tone playful. Jake chuckled, his dimples deepening as he replied, "Not as much as you though beautiful!" Stella turned crimson at his words leaving a jealous Jaemin pouting.

Andres struck up a conversation with Heeseung, his easygoing charm putting the vocalist at ease. "Heeseung, you really know how to work the stage. Your energy is contagious," he remarked, his admiration evident. Heeseung laughed, a playful glint in his eyes. "Thanks, Andres. You're not so bad yourself," he teased, earning a chuckle from Andres.

Meanwhile, Jaemin and Sunghoon exchanged banter and laughter, their bond evident in their easy rapport. "Sunghoon, mate, your moves were killer out there. You had the crowd eating out of your hand," Jaemin complimented, a grin spreading across his face. Sunghoon smirked, his confidence shining through. "Thanks, Jaemin. But let's be real, you're the real king around here," he teased, nudging Jaemin playfully.

As the night progressed, we shared stories, laughter, and plenty of selfies with Enhypen, each moment filled with joy. From inside jokes to shared memories, we forged connections that transcended the barriers between fan and idol.

Saying goodbye to Enhypen felt like leaving a dream. Seriously, can you believe they knew our names? And they were so chill, like we've been friends forever!

I squeezed Jaemin in a big hug, practically squishing him. "Jaemin, you're the best! I can't thank you enough for tonight," I blurted out, feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. "Seriously, thank you a million times!"

Jaemin just grinned and ruffled my hair, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "Hey, anything for you, cutie," he teased, making me blush like crazy.

Jaemin clung to Stella side pouting and teasing her, "Hey weren't you flirting a bit too much with Jake back there? Why don't you go make him your boyfriend? What am I even doing here?" he teased, a mischievous twinkle in his eyes.

Stella just laughed and playfully nudged him. "Aw, baby, are you getting jealous?" she teased back, a playful smirk dancing on her lips.

Jaemin pretended to pout, crossing his arms. "Of course, I'm jealous! How could I not be? My girlfriend is stunning," he replied, his tone mock-serious. "I have to protect my territory. Who knows, maybe Jake will fall for you and propose, and then where will I be?"

Stella rolled her eyes, but there was a hint of affection in her gaze. "Oh please, you know you're my one and only," she reassured him, leaning in to give him a quick peck on the cheek.

Me and Andres watched the exchange with awkward smiles. Despite Jaemin's playful sulking, it was clear he adored Stella, and she knew just how to keep him on his toes.

Stella grinned and brushed a stray hair from Jaemin's face. "You're too cute when you pout, you know that?" she teased, earning an exaggerated sigh from Jaemin.

With our hearts full and our bellies growling, we followed Jaemin to this amazing Italian joint. And let me tell you, the pasta was to die for!

As we dug into our meals, I couldn't help but think about Stella and how lucky she is to have a boyfriend like Jaemin. I mean, seriously, he's like a chaebol prince straight out of a K-drama, always spoiling her with love and fancy dinners.

Tonight was beyond anything I could have ever imagined.

As we left the Italian restaurant, the warmth of the food still lingering in my belly, Andres started teasing me about my crush on Niki. "Weren't you laying it on a bit thick with Niki back there? You're practically obsessed with him," he said with a playful grin.

I couldn't help but laugh. "I can't help it! He's just so handsome, so charming, and that Japanese accent of his is just..." I trailed off, unable to find the right words to describe it.

Andres raised an eyebrow teasingly. "Oh, so you're into Japanese accents now?" he teased. "Maybe I should start taking Japanese lessons for you."

I chuckled. "Maybe you should," I teased back, enjoying our playful banter.

"But you know," Andres continued, his tone mock-serious, "Niki may be handsome, but I'm cute too, right?"

I couldn't help but grin. "Of course you are, but you can't compete with Niki," I teased, watching as Andres pouted playfully.

"Hmm, don't pout," I teased, reaching over to pinch his cheek. "It's true though, I can't deny it."

We continued our playful banter as we settled into the backseat of Jaemin's car. The tiredness of the day soon caught up with us, and before I knew it, Andres and I had drifted off to sleep, lulled by the gentle hum of the engine and the comforting presence of our Stella and Jaemin.
