Under the Stars {Hani x RM}

Oct 12, 2014: Catalyst

Sunday (October 12th, 2014) - 1:06 PM

Jungkook dramatically collapsed onto the floor and heaved a loud groan, which was only interrupted by Jimin throwing a sweaty rag at him.

"Quit whining," said Jimin before chugging down half of his water bottle.

The members of BTS were busy preparing for their next comeback. Their last one got some good traction on the music charts, and they were able to garner a fairly steady fanbase. Their company was having them work extra hard so they could keep their momentum going.

"Have some sympathy, hyung," Jungkook said while sitting up, "My legs really hurt."

"We're all tired," said Namjoon as he stretched, "just try to enjoy your moment of rest before our manager comes back."

They had been practicing the choreography for "War of Hormone" all morning, and their manager had finally left to go get them some lunch. All the boys were taking advantage of their lack of supervision by relaxing.

"Whoa," said Hoseok, who was leaning over Taehyung's shoulder to look at his phone.

"What is it?" asked Yoongi, attempting to stretch his neck.

"Have you guys seen this?" asked Taehyung as he held his phone up to Yoongi.

The rapper took the phone while Jungkook, Jimin, and Seokjin huddled around him.

"Wow, she's stunning," said Jimin, pulling the phone closer.

"Oh come on," Seokjin groaned, turning to look back at the wall mirror, "she's nowhere near as stunning as me."

He cracked a smile at the mirror while brushing his hair back, making the other members roll their eyes.

"Besides," he continued, "have you guys seriously not seen that video yet? It's been everywhere. I'm pretty sure everyone in Korea has seen it by now."

"What are you guys talking about?" Namjoon asked, his curiosity finally piqued.

"You've gotta see this video, hyung," Taehyung took the phone from Yoongi and handed it to his leader.

Namjoon watched the screen as a gorgeous woman danced to a catchy pop tune. She wore a black and white halter top with black shorts and was performing extremely sexy dance moves. Her long, dark brown hair perfectly framed her glowing eyes and and vibrant smile. Jimin was right; she was stunning.

"Is she an idol?" Namjoon asked.

"Yeah," Taehyung said, interested in Namjoon's reaction, "has a girl finally stolen your heart, hyung?"

The leader playfully pushed Taehyung away, "Of course not, I'm just curious who could possibly be causing such a stir with one fancam."

He glanced at the video one more time, "She also looks kind of familiar?"

"Familiar?!" Hoseok exclaimed, suddenly racing up to the group huddle, "could it perhaps be a past lover you've had?"

Hoseok stuck his tongue out at him, earning a slap on the arm from his leader.

"Her name is Hani, and her group's name is EXID," chimed Seokjin who had yet to stop fixing his hair.

EXID? Hani?

Everything suddenly flowed back to Namjoon.

The bar. The girl. They had met before! About a year ago!

He remembered finding her yelling into her phone and then laughing with her and finding out that she was an idol too. After he had left, he remembered downloading her group's song, "Whoz That Girl" and listening to it over and over again for about a week, but he didn't really take the time to keep following her group's activities. He was busy with his own work after all.

"Hyung?" Jungkook poked Namjoon's cheek, ending his flashbacks.

"Sorry," he responded, blinking a couple times while snapping back to reality.

"Did you figure out where you've seen her, or were you too busy drooling over her?" Yoongi teased while unveiling his gummy smile.

"No, I don't know why she looks familiar," he lied while glaring at his fellow rapper.

The last thing he wanted was to give his members more ammo to tease him. Plus, if he revealed that he knew the girl, they'd surely bombard him with questions, which he probably couldn't answer since he and Hani didn't keep in touch.

"I was just thinking," Namjoon thought of an excuse, "this will be good publicity for her group, right?"

"Oh definitely," said Taehyung, who held up his own phone, "I actually downloaded their song already. It's been climbing the charts, and it's really catchy. It's called 'Up & Down'."

"Literally downloading it right now!" said Hoseok.

"Same!" added Jimin.

Namjoon shook his head, "You're all crazy."

"The manager's coming back!" exclaimed Jungkook, who was peeking out the door.

The boys scrambled to turn their song back on and pretend they were practicing the whole time, but Namjoon's mind was still on the video.

EXID's future was still unknown at this point, but this might be their big break. Namjoon gave himself a look of determination in the mirror as he danced.

If she could bring her group fame and success, then he could do it too. 

A/N: I wanted to go ahead and post another chapter since I've been really inspired with this story. ^_^ I'll actually be going on vacation for a week starting tomorrow, so I won't be able to update until then. However, I'll try to update ASAP since I'll probably have time to write more chapters while waiting for my flights and stuff. Anyhow, all votes and comments are appreciated :)
