DUET - A Namjoon x Reader Fanfic

Chapter Seventeen - Our Performance

Rehearsal seemed to fly by in only a few seconds. It was really starting to dawn on me that I was performing at the 2017 AMAs in only a few hours. We were going to perform a song we had titled "Cloud Nine"; our most popular song.

I was so lost in my singing and choreo, that I barely noticed my boyfriend watching from where the audience would be sitting soon. When I looked up, he was watching me with a huge grin on his face. His adorable dimple-smile. I smiled at him and he winked in response.

When we finished up, some staff members ushered us off the stage so that the next artist could practice. My friends and I met up with Namjoon and the guys who had water bottles and snacks waiting for us. Namjoon was singing something, the rest of the guys laughing at how silly he was being.

"Y/N, good thing Namjoon-hyung is handsome. You surely didn't fall in love with him for his singing." Jimin said to me through a fit of laughter.

"What are you singing, Joonie?" I asked him with a smile.

" 'Cloud Nine'. It's stuck in my head."

The rest of the guys complimented our song, to which I could tell my friends were trying not to fangirl.

We thanked them, then headed back to the lobby to sit down.

"You know, Y/NickN, you and I should write a song together. Wouldn't that be cool?" Namjoon said randomly.

We were sitting on the end of a couch, having our own conversation aside from the others. He had an arm around me and spoke softly.

"That would be awesome, Joonie." I replied, smiling at the cute idea.

Namjoon chuckled, "Oh, and-" he leaned back to grab something out of his pocket, "-I still have your phone. Figured you might want it back."

I retrieved my phone from him, unlocking it to see that the front camera was on. What I saw made me beyond happy.

I sat against Namjoon's arm, looking happiest I'd seen myself in a long time. I usually looked tired and stressed, but now I looked joyful and lively. Namjoon sat beside me, head resting against mine and looking into the camera with a smile.

"Here..." Namjoon mumbled, then reached forward to snap a picture.

"Wow, I took a picture with RM from BTS." I said sarcastically, earning a laugh from him.

"Yeah, and the beautiful Y/N from In Between better send me that picture." Namjoon said.

I forwarded the picture to him, and sat my phone down. As we cuddled, we got into another deep conversation. Namjoon was the best person in the world to have these conversations with, always listening and offering great advice.

"Y/N? Y/N!" The frantic voice of my friend interrupted the kiss between Namjoon and I.

"I'm coming Mariana, hang on!" I replied shortly.

I leaned in for another kiss as Namjoon hugged me.

"Good luck, Joonie." I said smiling brightly.

"Good luck, Y/NickN. You'll do amazing."

He held my hand as I began to walk away, gently letting it slide out of his when I was out of reach.

I followed Mariana, arriving to the dressing room where my band was. We added the finishing touches to our makeup, then sat in a designated spot as we waited for our turn to perform.
