Twenty Six ➵ Award Ceremony

After being informed of it a few weeks ago, the day of the boy's award show finally arrives. I'm currently at the studios with the boys being styled by a pair of professional stylists.

"Hey, Seungkwan," I say and he turns around. "Shouldn't your girlfriend be your plus one guest?"

"Minseo is on vacation this week. I asked you first, anyway."

I smile. "I can't wait to meet her."

"You'll love her." He responds before leaving to room to change.

"Okay, Areum," one of the stylists say. "We're finished your makeup. You can take a look in the mirror if you like."

I nod and turn around to face the mirror, immediately smiling at the sight. My makeup has been applied perfectly, and not a blemish is in sight.

"Thank you, I love it." I grin.

"No problem. We've selected a few dresses which match the makeup. Which one do you like most?" The other woman asks and shows me a rack filled with beautiful blue dresses.

I point at a particular one which has sequins and jewels around it, and is probably around knee length. It's so beautiful, it must have costed a fortune.

"I like this one the most."

"Good choice." The woman winks and hands it to me.

"Thanks." I tell her and leave the room to change.

I find a bathroom and step inside, immediately changing into the gorgeous dress. I look in the mirror and smile, happy with my appearance.

Outside, I walk through the corridor and pause when I see a familiar room. I look inside to confirm my thoughts, immediately turning away when I begin to panic. It's the room where I was shot, and I leave before any haunting memories can rush back. 

"Hey, Ar, are you okay?" I hear DK ask and I look up, nodding. "You look worried."

"I'm fine." I assure him shortly and head back into the dressing room.

"How do I look?" I ask the stylists and they both turn around before grinning.

"You look lovely, Areum."

I haven't seen Joshua all day, even though I know he's here. The building is rather big I suppose.

As if he was reading my thoughts, I see him enter the room. He looks at me, his large eyes widening when he sees me. 

He coughs under his breath. "Wow, Areum, you look great." He compliments and I blush.

"Thanks. You do too." I say, looking at his black suit. 

"We'll leave you two alone." The stylists say and exit the room, leaving just Joshua and I together. 

"Are you looking forward to the award show?" He asks and sits on the chair beside me. 

I nod. "Yeah. Are you?" 

"I am. Just nervous in case we win our award, I wouldn't know what to say." 

"You haven't practised?" I ask, eyebrows raised.

"Well, no, I've never thought that we'd stand a chance of winning. We're up against tough competition."
