Judy went on stage too. People applauded for her. BTS were in the first row tables sitting. Jimin, Jin and Taehyung stood up to applaud for her. She didn't notice due to the strong lights. But the cameraman did. 
"Hello back everybody. We should proceed to the awards!" Dua said loudely on the mic. Judy applauded in the back with the crowd. "Judy will now announce our three top artists!" Dua said and Judy walked up to the mic. 
"So the three to artists are..." Judy looked at the crowd and started opening the envelope. "Hope this time it won't be as difficult to open the envelope." Judy said. The crowd laughed. BTS were mesmerised by this young lady. Some more, some a little bit less. But they didn't give away their admiration for her. Judy did have a hard time opening the envelope. "Oh merlin. Next time please make the envelopes easier to open. This is my nightmare." The crowd laughed. She did open it. "So, after this short break of my suffering and your suffering of course, since you want to know who the top three artists are... Our top three artists are... Doja Cat, Bruno Mars and BTS!" Judy said and smiled brightly. She stepped back giving space to Dua for the final announcement. 
"So the winner of the Grammys is..." She a waited a little bit. "Doja Cat!" Judy and Dua immediately started clapping with the crowd for Doja's win. Judy was a little bit dissapointed but she hid it.  She gave the Grammy to Doja. 
"Congratulations!" 
"Thank you sweetheart" Doja said while they hugged each other. 
 After Doja's speech. It was time for Judy to close the night. 
"It was a great pleasure hosting this night. I had the honour of meeting so many great musicians I could only dream of meeting. Congratulations Doja for your win once again. See you at the after party. Goodnight world." Judy winked and bowed 90 deegrees to show her thankfulness. 
 Judy went to the backstage. And her manager, stylist and makeup artist were waiting for her. 
"See nothing horrible happened because I was wearing Converse." Judy said to her stylist. Her manager rolled her eyes. 
"Well it will be talked at the magazines though." Her manager pitched in. 
"Whatever who cares."Judy said and changed into her after party outfit. Low rise baggy jeans with a crop tee, a leather jacket on top and  Jordan 4's. Her makeup artist did a smokey eye with eyeliner. 
"Ready sweetheart." Judy smiled at her.
"Thanks Nora." She took asmall purse  and walked out of the builfing of the Grammys. A limuzine was waiting for her. She entered. "Hey Richie!" The old man turned back and smiled at the young lady.
"Hello Judy! How was your night?"
"Great actually. One of the best nights of my life for sure." They kept chit chatting. After a while they arrived at the place the after party was held. Body guards opened Judy's door. Before exiting: "See ya Richie!" and exited the limuzine. Camera's flashed immediately. Judy smiled at them. Some fans started shouting so she walked up to them. The camera's flashed even more. She signed some autographs took some photos with them. Behind those tinted glass doors though, there were seven pairs of eyes that were looking at Judy's figure. She waved at the fans and started walking towards the enterance. The seven pairs of eyes widened in panick and looked at each other trying to find a way to make this encounter less awkard for themselves. She entered the glass doors. To big surprise for her there were seven men staring at her. Judy looked at them, she tittled her head to the side. She walked up to them with a smile on ther face. 
"Hey guys!" 
"Hey Judy." Namjoon said.
"How come you are still here and not inside the party?" 
"We were actually waiting for you." Namjoon answered truthfully. Some of the members asked for translation from Yoongi. He translated to big surprise of Judy. The members immediatly after looked at Namjoon surprised. Judy chuckled.
"You were afraid of getting lost?" Judy asked smiling switching the language to Korean. 
"Yes and no." Taehyung spoke up. Namjoon gave her a big smile, he and the members motioned for her to walk first, in front of them like the gentleman they were. She accepted the request. 
"So why the waiting?" She asked.
"You are the only person that we know a little bit better here." Namjoon admitted. Judy smiled brightly at them.
"First of all, I am honoured. And let me introduce you to some people then!" Judy said and walked in. So many big named os the industry were there.Judy walked up to a table were some familiar faces were sitting. "Hey Harry, Olivia, Nial and Louis!"Judy said over the loud music. 
"Hey kiddo! Long time no see." Harry said and walked up to her and hugged her. "Great presentation by the way!" 
"Thanks Harry." The rest of them hugged Judy. "So, guys this is BTS. Namjoon, Hobi, Yoongi, Jin, Jimin, Taehyung and Jungkook. And guys this is Olivia, Harry, Nial and Louis." After a while Judy had encountered some other familiar faces and had some conversations but after a while she got tired of socializing and sat back down alone drinking soda. Yoongi noticed. He excused himself from the conversation he was in and walked up to her. 
"Hey Judy. Why are you alone?" He asked
"Oh, hi Yoongi.. I like to sit back and just look at people." Judy admitted. 
"Sorry for interrupting your alone time." He said and started walking away. 
"Yoongi. You are not bothering me." He stopped. He turned around.
"You sure?" Judy nodded. He then walked up to her and sat across her. They sat like that looking at each other in the eyes without breaking the eye contact. 
"You don't have to sit here with me because I'm alone you know that right?" Judy asked without breaking the eye contact. He had this intense stare that Judy started admiring. 
"I do know that. " Yoongi said and kept looking at her in the eyes.
"I'm quite boring in parties." Judy warned him. Yoongi then broke the eye contact because he chuckled. It was the first time Judy saw him smiling in front of her. 
"I don't believe you and even so I don't mind just sitting like this." He said and gave her a side smile. 
"It's fine by me." Judy said and smiled at him slightly. 
"How come you are not drinking something?" Yoongi asked and looked at her soda. He meant alcohol. Judy chuckled. The man across her was 6 years older than her and obviously unaware of her age. 
"I'm turning 19 in couple of months. I can't drink." Judy said and watched in amusement his face changing from relaxed to surprised. 
"You are a minor?!" Yoongi asked in shock.
"In America at least yes." 
"You are younger than Jungkook?" 
"Yoongi there are younger people than Jungkook." Judy chuckled.
"Yeah I know but I didn't expect for you to be a minor. I didn't expect you to present the Grammys at such young age."
"Oh that makes sense. Well, here I am." She shrugged her shoulders.
"So how did you start your career?" Yoongi asked full of curiosity.
"Well, my dad plays Iron Man. Robert Downey Jr. So my last name helped a lot. I began acting professionally at the age of 16. Truth to be told everything actually took off at 16." Judy said and kept looking at him in the eyes. Though she was trying to hide it, Yoongi noticed that there was a hint of sadness behind of those caramel eyes. Yoongi didn't know what was the reason behind her hidden sadness but felt sorry for her. She was way too young to experience something bad. Suddenly a young blond guy came and sat next to her. She knew him you could tell from her eyes.
"Hey Jace." She said breaking the eye contact with Yoongi.
"It's time Judy." The Jace dude said. Yoongi didn't like him.
"I'm coming in a sec." The guy walked away. "Imma get going. It was an honour meeting all of you."Judy smiled.
"It was a pleasure meeting you too." Yoongi said. Judy stood upso did Yoongi. 
"Please say to the rest of the members that I am sorry for not saying goodbye to them." She said. "Hope I'll meet you at some point." She added. She bowed and smiled. The spark from her smile had dissapeared since the Jace dude had came. "Goodbye Yoongi."She said.
"Goodbye Judy." Yoongi said and with that Judy walked past people who were drinking, dancing, having fun till she reached that Jace dude. They left together. Yoongi was looking at the spot he last saw Judy. He then sat down. After five mintues Harry walked up to Yoongi.
"Where is Judy?" He asked while looking around for her. 
"She left with that Jace dude." Yoongi said. Harry stopped looking for her and looked at Yoongi.
"With Jace you said?" He asked shocked.
"Yes. Why?" Yoongi was getting more curious. 
"Nothing. Just surprised." Harry said and walked away calling someone. Yoongi noticed the phone caller ID... "Judithhh"
"Well that's odd." Yoongi said to himself.
