-4 Years Later-

"And the winner for Artist of the year goes to......." The MC is loud and clear as he begins to announce the winner.

All of the idols tensed up as they know it could be one of them. The adrenaline is so high that you could practically hear their heave breathing and strong heart beats.

"ATEEZ!" The MC suddenly booms out, which earned deafening cheers from the fans and surprisingly from the other idols.

The boys were speechless, their eyes were wide as their legs pulled them to the stage. When reality finally hit them, the boys were almost in tears. They couldn't believe they had won.

The MC's congratulates the boys, handing them their flowers and their Daesang. Hongjoong wipes his eyes and clears his throat, leaning into the microphone to give a speech.

"Hello Atiny!" Hongjoong screams, making the whole crowd cheer.

"Listen I just want to say, I was definitely not expecting this at all. I also want to say thank you to our fans, friends and family for always supporting us and giving us so much love!" Hongjoong began.

"4 years ago, I thought I wouldn't be here today. Being stuck in a house full of ghosts and demons really damaged us both mentally and physically. But throughout those years, a certain group had also helped us through it all as well." Hongjoong explains, looking at the boys of NCT, who stare at them in shock.

"NCT, the real dream team. Come on up here!" Mingi shouts, waving them over.

Just then all twenty one members stood from their seat and walked towards the stage, everyone staring at them confused. After all of them were comfortable on the stage, Hongjoong continued.

"Some of the boys were also trapped for years in that house, and even longer than we were! When I'm we first bumped into them, we didn't even think that they would be the ones we would be working with to get out of there.

"They were the ones who stayed with us at the hospital to make sure we got better after the explosion. They also were the ones who encouraged us to go to therapy after we were having so many issues. They had made a HUGE positive impact of our lives, and we will never forget it." Hongjoong ends the speech, looking over at NCT who all had tears in their eyes.

"Aish you guys are crybabies!" Wooyoung jokes, tearing up himself.

"Oh shut up." Mark chuckles, wiping his eyes.

"ATEEZ! NCT! ATEEZ! NCT!" The whole stadium cheered for both groups, making them cry harder out of joy.

"WE LOVE YOU GUYS!" San shouts before clinging onto Jongho while sobbing.

"Before the night ends, I have something else I would like to do." Hongjoong spoke into the mic, making everyone confused.

Seonghwa, barely paying attention and feels Jungwoo tapping his shoulder, signing for him to turn around. The oldest of ATEEZ was confused but obeyed, only to his surprise Hongjoong is right in front of him.

"Seongwha. You've always been there for me when I needed it the most, and I thank you for that. I'm sorry that I have had taken my stress and anger out on you countless of times, you never deserved it. But I want to thank you for staying by my side through the tough times. I love you so much and I don't know how I have landed myself an amazing person like you. But, I don't want us to be 'just boyfriends' anymore." Hongjoong paused, seeing Seonghwa's smile go straight to a confused face.

Just then, Hongjoong got down on one knee and grabs a red velvet box. Everyone gasped in surprise, while Seonghwa covered his mouth as he was ready to burst in tears.

"My dear Seonghwa. Each passing day my love has grown for you gradually. From your smile, to your beautiful eyes all the way deep down to your caring and lovely nature." Hongjoong felt the tears come, but he blinked them away. "I know I'm saying this again but I'm so blessed to have an angel like you in my life, and I want my angel by my side forever. My best friend, boyfriend, soulmate. Now, would you do the honour and add 'husband' to that list?" Hongjoong smiles as he opens the box, revealing a beautiful diamond ring.

Seonghwa was full on sobbing. He was so shocked yet so thrilled that his boyfriend had finally popped the question.

"YES! A HUNDRED TIMES YES!" The two then embrace each other, making every coo at the newly engaged couple.

"YOU TWO SHOULD KISS!" They hear someone from the audience shout, followed by a 'Shut up Jungkook!' 

"Well that could be arranged." The leader smirks, grabbing Seonghwa by the waist and kissing his lips passionately.

Seonghwa widens his eyes, but melts into the kiss. Their lips move slowly against each other's, tuning out the noise and focusing on each other.

"YES GET IT HYUNG!" Mingi shouts which then Hongjoong just gives him the finger, maki everyone laugh.

"GET A ROOM! JISUNG AND CHENLE ARE STILL TOO YOUNG TO SEE HOW THEY WERE MADE!" Mark laughs, making the couple giggle in their kiss.

Soon both boys pull away, resting their foreheads against each other.

"Wow." Seonghwa gasped.

"We could do more than that after when we're alone." Hongjoong wiggles his brows, earning a light smack on the shoulder from the blushing older boy.

"Then what are we waiting for?" Seonghwa bites his lip.

And let's just say, no one got a good rest that night.
