Do not touch (Minsung)

38

Soon the waiting room was full with everyone conversing about how excited they are for the two at the center of this. "Lee Know! Jisung!" The overall manager called out as he entered the room. "Is it time?" Jisung spoke and he nodded. "Doors are closing in 10 so we need y'all backstage." He gestured to the two who got up placing their phones in their pockets and bidding goodbye to their friends who would meet them later. Jisung was basically buzzing with excitement so much that Yeji had to try and calm him down. Though the whole group found it cute. "Jisung take it down like ten notches." Yeji spoke gesturing with her hands that he needs to calm down. "Okay yeah sorry." He sheepishly spoke and Chan slung his arm over the younger's shoulders. "It's okay just don't scare people with your energy. Try to be natural." Chan spoke and Jisung looked at him weirdly. "Natural is energetic for me." Jisung spoke and Chan sighed. "We'll try to contain your excitement till we're out there." He spoke and Jisung nodded trying to hold in the excitement.

Soon they were backstage waiting behind a curtain. Jisung peeked out seeing the rows and rows of fans they would be seeing today. It had to be at least 100 people they would be interacting with. "150 tickets were sold for lack of coordination." A backstage manager spoke to someone who had asked and Jisung was excited. "150 people here to just meet us." He whispered looking towards Lee Know who looked cool as a cucumber. How does he do it? No way he's not excited too. An announcer went on stating that they would be coming out in five minutes and everyone is expected to have taken their seats. They would be doing a Q&A before everyone would get in line to see them. Again quite nerve wracking for Jisung who has never done this before. "Alright head on out." One of the stage hands spoke and Jisung's nerves shot up.

Lee Know"s hand came to rest on his back pushing him out after Chan and Yeji. Cheers rang through as the two boys moved out and onto the stage accepting the mics handed to them by other stage hands. There was a table set up with two chairs and two stools placed in front. Yeji pointed to the two stools in front of the table. Jisung took a seat and Lee Know followed sitting in the other seat. Screams rang out and Jisung felt himself blush and look down at his feet away from the roaring crowd. Lee Know nudged him giving him a smile. "Follow my lead." He spoke and Jisung nodded.

"Shh shh. How is everyone today?!" Lee Know spoke into his mic quieting the crowd down only for them to roar alive again to answer. "Everyone feeling good? Excited?" Lee Know spoke and the crowd cheered again. "Well in case you didn't know which I'm not sure why you wouldn't. I'm Lee Know." Cheers rang out as Lee Know moved the mic away and looked at Jisung. "And I'm Jisung." He spoke shyly looking up towards the lively crowd who cooed at his shyness. It was embarrassing but it made Jisung's lips quirk into a smile. "So what are we starting with today?" Lee Know spoke looking at the mc who snapped into action. "Okay so we have this basket of seat numbers everyone wrote down before taking their seats and you're gonna draw from it. Then that person will be called upon to ask you a question." He explained handing the basket to Jisung who happily took it.

"I guess I'll go first then." Jisung spoke reaching in and ruffling the papers before pulling one out. He recited the seat number and a small girl jumped up to raise her hand. "Me!" She shouted and the mc who had already hopped off the stage ran over. "So Jisung what is your favorite part of being a model so far?" She asked and Jisung thought. "Well of course the clothes. I love clothes and designing so being able to wear famous designs and clothing is truly an honor for me." He smiled tossing the paper onto the floor with note to pick it up later. "Anything you would like to say to Jisung?" The mc spoke and the girl shyly smiled. "You're handsome!" She squeaked out and Jisung laughed with a big gummy smile before bringing the mic back to his mouth. "Thank you." The crowd erupted into screams making Jisung flinch and look at Lee Know who laughed.

Next Lee Know drew stating the seat number and an older man stood up. "How has working with Jisung been?" The man spoke and Lee Know thought. "He's pleasant." He shrugged and Jisung's eyes widened. "Yah!" Jisung spoke punching the older's shoulder making him laugh. "No truthfully it's been great and in fact I can't conclude my statement without saying how he has a knack for style. He threw together our outfits for today and I think we look pretty damn good." Lee Know smiled standing up and twirling around to which everyone cheered. They moved on. Jisung drew next with his slightly clammy hands. He spoke the seat number and a girl that looked to be in her 20s stood up. The mc rushed over to hand her the mic. "Jisung what is your favorite part of yourself?" She spoke and Jisung shrugged. "I mean I don't really know. Not to be narcissistic or anything but I think I have a lot of good qualities. It's really hard for me to choose." He giggled and everyone cooed. Lee Know unconsciously started smiling as the younger spoke.

"Here I'll answer. My favorite part of Jisung is his ambition. He has dreams and a goal and he's not afraid to get it." Lee Know spoke and Jisung looked at him with wide eyes. "Thank you." He whispered into the mic and everyone laughed including Lee Know. "You okay?" Lee Know spoke snapping his fingers in Jisung's face to snap him out of his spacing. "Oh yes sorry." Jisung spoke and Lee Know laughed. "Next question!"
