"Aww, don't cry!" Kai called from bellow, looking up at the two in the balcony. It took a few moments for everything to calm down, Jongdae waving his hands around to attract the attention of some people backstage and give them a quick message, seconds later the projection of the two winners fading off of the screen. When it did, Chen found herself looking back up at the two blurry figures. It was hard to interpret, but it seemed as though the boy gave them a quick thank you with the bow of his head, sitting back down, the girl still on his shoulder.
"Honeys, please don't cry! I don't wanna get emotional just yet!" Baekhyun carefully laughed into the microphone, his voice a little wary and possibly trying to keep it from cracking. "We've got another song to sing!"
"Alright, alright, Sehun you do the honors of picking the last two." Jongdae said quickly, nearly rushing over to D.O, who seemed to take his sweet time passing the box to the maknae.
"Calm down, we've got time," Lay laughed, but still moving out of the way so he didn't get run over by the speedy Jongdae who was making his way across the stage.
"We've got..." Sehun trailed off, reaching his hand into the box and pulling out the small slips of paper. The silence was a bit awkward, Sehun looking towards Chanyeol for his amazing drum-roll. Chanyeol made an awkward laugh, clearing his throat and making a weird "brrrrr" sound with his voice, causing Suho to turn around and move the mic far away from his mouth to avoid his laugh being picked up by it.
"Seats 39 and 40!" Sehun shouted out, spinning around in a circle to look around the stadium. "Where you two at?"
Kyra was the first to gasp, leaning forward and looking towards Cami and Chen. Cami wore a little smirk on her face and Kyra raised her eyebrow at in a innocent and concerned wonder. She held up her ticket that was resting in her hands the whole time, the paper clearly reading "41". She carefully pointed at Cami's seat, then Chen's, silently awaiting a reaction.
Cami made a simple count down on her fingers from three, and once she got to one, pointed towards Chen.
"Wait!" Chen nearly - well not nearly, she actually - shouted, jumping up from the chair to check the seat number on the side of the chair. "Wait-" she said again, pointing at Cami's chair and then giving her a confused look.
"Oh!" Cami shouted, seeming painfully bad at pretending to be surprised. "Well would'cha look at that!" she jumped up, talking like some southern grandmother. "That's astonishing!"
"C'mon guys, don't be shy," Suho laughed, looking around the stadium. Jongdae happened to be looking directly at the two winners who were trying to decide what was happening. He made a little gesture in the general direction of the girls, Sehun catching on.
"It's all good, go ahead and stand up!" Sehun said into the microphone, gesturing the two to stand up. The girl next to Chen, who Chen had only noticed a few times during the performance cheering (she was probably shy), nudged her in the arm. "When you stand up, try to look cool," she said simply, flashing a smile and pointing up at the front screen with a wink.
"Oh." Chen breathed, standing up straight when Cami had pulled her friend up. Cami made an open-mouthed smile, quickly making an enthusiastic wave towards Sehun. He made an immediate wave back, just as enthusiastically waving both of his hands in greeting.
Cami let out a laugh, turning towards her awe-struck friend. "Earth to Chen, Earth to Chen..." Cami whispered, stepping on her friend's foot lightly. Chen looked down, then up at Cami. She made a gesture towards the stage, Chen finally looking up.
Jongdae finally noticed the girl had looked up, quickly raising his hands and making little hearts with his fingers. Chen instinctively, but still tentatively, raised her hands towards her cheeks, making little hearts back to him as well.
Jongdae's expression quickly turned into an even larger smile, Baekhyun (who was now behind him, previously waving to Cami) nudged him, tilting his head with raised eyebrows at his band member.
Jongdae let out a sigh, taking a step backwards and spinning around in tired amusement.
"To you two," Chanyeol began, pointing towards Chen and Cami, "You two," he continued, turning and pointing up at the two blurry figures sitting up in the balcony, "And all of you that came to support us today-" he shouted triumphantly, gesturing across the many rows of people, "-let me wish you all an..."
All of the band members raised their hands in front of their chests, creating a little "x" with either their fingers or their entire arms. Instrumental blended itself into the stadium, Chanyeol holding the microphone right up against his mouth, smiling.
"X O, XO." he said quickly raising his eyebrows at a few fans in front of him.
"X O, XO." he repeated, this time looking up at fans in the balcony. Chen's attention shifted towards Jongdae, who happened to be on their side of the stage. He made small x's with two fingers on each hand, crossing them, then making two o's with both of his hands.
"X O, X O... yeah."
Jongdae made a little heart with both of his hands and rested it in front of his chest for a few seconds before looking away and towards the members currently singing.
"살며시 입맞춘 X는 kiss [salmyeosi immatchun X-neun kiss] (An X is kiss for a soft kiss)" D.O sang, Suho joining in happily. His microphone was immediately hit a few times by the younger singer, laughing a little through the words.

"동그랗게 안은 O는 hug [donggeurake aneun O-neun hug] (An O is for a circled hug)"
The lines started to jumble with different harmonies - they actually sounded nice together, and the constant laughter made it cuter - as Suho playfully pushed away the main singer, Jongdae now joining the leader in their harmonization.
"혹시 벌써 알고 있을까 oh [hoksi beolsseo algo isseulkka oh] (Maybe you already know, oh)"
Cami laughed at the lyric, reminding her to glance towards her oblivious friend who she would soon have to explain a lot to.
