Love Song: A Rap Monster x Reader Fanfic

Part 2

"Let's give a round of applause to all our brilliant contestants for their amazing performances!" The announcer exclaimed in Korean to the excited audience. A sea of glow sticks waved and shouted their approval. "As the votes are coming in and tallied, let's have each pair say a little something before the final winner is revealed."

Each of us was equipped with a microphone similar to ones found on headsets. The first pair, a pretty female Korean idol and her ecstatic partner, took a step forward. "I just want to say that I had a great time with Amy here," the idol gestured at the smiling girl beside here. "We became a sort of best friends during the short three weeks of the competition, and I'm really thankful that fate brought us together. No matter the result, I will be extremely satisfied because I already received the greatest prize of all—friendship." The crowd cheered.

Amy spoke into her microphone. "I couldn't believe that I made it into the final round, and that I got paired with my favorite idol of all times,Yuju. These few weeks, we've really gotten to know each other as people, not as a superstar and her fan. I want to thank Yuju for the amazing times we spent together, and I hope that we can continue to hang out even after the competition ends." Yuju nodded enthusiastically, giving Amy a hug that proved just how strong their friendship was already.

And so it went down the line, until it got to Namjoon and you. Namjoon gestured for you to speak first. "Hi, um, my name is _________, as you probably all know, and I can confidently say that this has been the most unforgettable three weeks of my entire life. When I first saw the flyer for the competition, I was afraid to enter, because I honestly didn't think that I was good enough. It was a dream come true when I was chosen by Namjoon to be his partner, because he was my bias ever since I first got into K-pop. You can probably imagine how happy I was to be able to spend time with the most handsome and the nicest man on earth." At this, the audience hooted and Namjoon smiled at you, not expecting such a compliment.

"And suddenly, it's going to be over. No matter what happens, I will leave here with no regrets, because I feel like the most blessed person in the world. What more can I ask for? I want to thank my best friend for being the sole reason why I finally decided to compete. Without you, [BFF name] I wouldn't be standing here today. And I also want to thank Namjoon, who made these three weeks the best time in my life. I sincerely hope that you had as much fun as I did."

You bowed slightly as Namjoon began speaking. "I, too, feel like the luckiest person alive. All the training sessions and rehearsals did not feel like a burden at all, because I was able to sing with __________." He turned to look at you, and you felt yourself unable to look away. "__________, thank you for spending every waking hour with me, perfecting our song. Thank you for treating me not as an unapproachable pop star, but as a friend. Thank you for chatting with me about random things when we're not busy and just hanging out, like normal people. You gave me a taste of life outside of fame. I am truly privileged to be able to sing with you, because your voice is the voice of angels. To me, the outcome of this competition does not matter, because with you, I am complete."

You felt yourself blush as you finally looked away, practically melting inside. Namjoon's words echoed in your mind, never going away: with you, I am complete.

Yes, Namjoon. With you, I am complete too.

"And in second place, with a total of 515 votes.... Choi Youngjae and Hae Seok Hwan!" The two high fived each other, grinning widely, before walking up to the judges and receiving their trophy. You clapped politely, but looked at Namjoon.
