"Didn't I tell you not to come?" MJ reprimanded the girl who had just entered the room.
"But I wanted to see you." She pouted and held onto his arm.
"Ah, stop acting cute." He ruffled her hair and laughed. "I told you not to come because it's so cold outside, and I don't want you to get sick."
"I'll be fine!" Aria assured him. "I wanted to see you perform. It's so exciting!" She couldn't help but jump up and down to illustrate her point.
MJ held her down by the shoulders and said, "ok, ok! Calm down, you don't want to wear yourself out."
"Sorry." Aria beamed at him and allowed him to direct her to a plush sofa.
Sinking into the comforting fabric, she watched as he got ready to go on stage. Her chest filled with pride as she observed him. He had come so far, and it made her so happy to watch him do what he loved.
Her expression matched how she was feeling, and she smiled in his direction. Sensing her gaze, MJ turned around and returned her smile. Red glowed on both of their cheeks, and their little bubble popped when MJ was ushered onto the stage, along with the other members of Astro.

Aria watched the performance from the sidelines and tried to cheer louder than the audience; which was a tiring feat. Yet nobody could be happier than her at that moment.
Soon, she grew too tired to keep standing at the side and she made her way back to the room assigned to Astro. She slumped on the sofa and pulled out her phone. Then, she snapped a selfie and posted it on insta.
Boredom quickly overcame her, and she felt her eyes drift closed as she waited for his return.

At last, the performance was over, and the guys returned to the room. They weren't shocked to see Aria asleep, because it was what she did best. The girl could fall asleep anywhere.
MJ gently shook her awake, and once her eyes were fully open, she saw his beaming face. "Good morning, Ms. Ari."
"Did I sleep that long?!" Aria looked about her and seemed confused as to what time it was.
"No." MJ chuckled at her cuteness. "It's pretty late though, so after we've done changing we'll take you home."
She simply nodded her head and rubbed her eyes, careful not to smudge her mascara.
Patiently, she waited for him to get ready, and as she checked her notifs on her social media, she thought of something. She turned on the camera and went over to where MJ sat in front of a mirror. "Junnie can I take a pic?" She waved her phone in front of him.
"Sure." His lips turned up at the sides and he threw a peace sign. Aria took the pic and instantly uploaded it to her insta. Fans already knew she was friends with the guys from Astro.
She was distracted by her phone, so it surprised her when she felt MJ pull her by the arm and position her on his lap.
"Junnie, what are you doing?"
"Let's take a photo together." He hugged her waist and brought her closer to him. His heartbeat could be felt through her back and it set her own one racing.
She steadied her nerves and snapped a picture of the two of them. MJ snatched her phone from her hand and sent the pic to his own one. He fiddled about with some buttons and then showed her what he had done. Both of their home screens now displayed the picture of them.
"Now, I'll be with you wherever you go."
Aria tried containing her squeals at his cuteness but failed to hold it in.
She was lucky to have someone like MJ in her life.
