HyunJi 2020 Buil Film Awards

Red Carpet

Manager Ryu spoke to Ye Ji and went through the details with her again before ushering her to the red carpet. All the words seem to just go in through one ear and out on the other. All she could think of was, "Don't screw this up! Don't fall! Go up the stage, say your speech and keep a smile on. It will be fine!"

"Alright, I'd see you at the hall" said Manager Ryu.

Seo Ye Ji was on her own now. The usher led her through the red carpet, and she placed her hands over her bust, hoping that her gown will not malfunction today. As she walked, she calmed down and picked up momentum as she walked in her strappy heels from Gianvito Rossi.

She heard her fans shouting out her name. She turned and waved with a smile on her face. Flickers of light from the numerous cameras were shining brightly on her face. She stopped at the point where the usher pointed to let the media take photos of her walking down the red carpet. The more the flashes appeared, the more anxious she felt.

"Look calm, smile and wave!" she told herself as she lifted her hand nervously to wave to the media and fans around.

"Phew! One down, a few more to go..." she thought to herself as she lifted her feet and pulled up the front of the gown. She tripped over herself and got a scare of her life! It could have been such an embarrassment if she had exposed herself. She laughed nervously and continued walking down with her hand covering her bust.

Thoughts filled her mind, but she had to remain calm. There was one more point she had to go to, the white wall, where the media would take her photos before she gets to sit down in the hall.

When she arrived at the white wall, she adjusted her gown and her corset just as her stylist taught her to before letting go off her hand. She smiled nervously as the camera lights continued to flicker around her.

Finally, she was being led to the seat which was assigned to her. As she sat down, she greeted the other awardees who were seated at the same table as her. She was not one who had many celebrity friends. No one from the attendees list was familiar to her. She sat quietly as she waited for the ceremony to start, her mind filled with all the "what-ifs" and negative talk that would come out from the incident that happened earlier.

Suddenly, she felt a vibration from the pocket of her gown. Her mind was so caught up in the chain of events that happened earlier that she forgot that she had her phone with her. It was unusual for gowns to have pockets and that was one of the things that she liked about this gown.

She took out her phone and didn't have to guess who messaged her. He sent a picture of him puckering his lips together, showing a finger heart with a text that said "Saranghae Ye Ji. <3 Enjoy the moment when you go up to receive your award! You can take a moment to thank your beloved boyfriend when you make your thank you speech later. :p" Ye Ji smiled, she knew Soo Hyun was trying to distract her from her negative thoughts. They have talked about how they will not reveal to the world that they are dating yet, and to keep their relationship private for now. There was no way she was going to thank him in public later. She replied with a picture of the stage saying "I wish you were here. I miss you. ㅠ_ㅠ"

A few seconds later, he replied, "Remember, it's okay to not be okay. It will be over soon. Use the Butterfly Hug and count to three to calm yourself down. :p I will be here to give you a 'Soo Hyun Hug' when you come out. I promise."

Ye Ji let out a giggle which made the other awardees at the table turn and look at her. She was embarrassed and apologised to them. "The ceremony is starting soon; I will see you in a while." Ye Ji replied. 

Note: Hello people of Wattpad! I hope you have enjoyed chapter 1 of this series.

As of now, I'm still writing the part about the end of day... it's getting quite steamy and intimate. *raise eyebrows*

I've added in some parts which triggered my memory about the scenes in IOTNBO, and will continue to do that through the series.

Enjoy~!
