Once you went back into the waiting room, your cheeks were still burning from your encounter with Joshua. But soon after, your mind slipped to Mingyu and the memories you shared together and then what happened in the broom closet. You shook your head internally, shifting the thoughts from your mind.

Ji-Na walked up to you and grabbed your shoulders, scanning your eyes. "Where was you? One minute you were behind us and then you just disappeared." She questioned.

Miya joined in and placed the back of her palms on your cheeks. "Why is your face so red? Are you sick?"

You removed yourself from their contact and avoided all their questions. There was no way that that you were planning on telling the girls about your past with Mingyu. 

The makeup artist were giving you a touch up when your manager entered the room again. "Girls are you ready? The award ceremony had started. You need to get to your seats."

You pressed your lips together, following the makeup artist's actions so your lipstick was perfect and then followed your members to your seats. Your heart was racing when you walked past so many popular idols, you felt as if you didn't belong there. A staff member pointed to your reserved seat and all four of you sat down, you were on the end, Se Ri next to you.

The awards went on for longer than you expected, there was a lot of clapping, cheering and shivering from the coldness of the arena. Unluckily, your clothes were a bit revealing and the blanket over your knees and hot packs didn't seem to help. Eventually, the nominees for New Female Artists were being announced. When you heard your groups name be called, you felt a rush of relief when there were cheers coming from the crowd. There was a long wait until the winner was revealed "STARGAZER!"

Shock was all you felt. Honestly, you didn't think your team would win. The girls stood up before you as your body was frozen. She Ri had to grab you by the arm and guide you up to the stage where the hosts greeted you and handed you the award. As the leader, the girls pushed you to do the thank you speech. You didn't even prepare one, so you were left to improvise. Words began leaving your mouth effortlessly as you thanked everyone you felt deserved it, mainly your fans. That was until your eyes panned to the artists in front of you, a pair of familiar eyes were looking at you as if you were the only thing that existed. It was Mingyu. When he realized he had been caught staring, he quickly averted his gaze to the floor.

You all bowed to the hosts and the audience before making your way back to your seats. As you passed by Joshua called "Well done, Y/n." You thanked him before following your team.

Mingyu glared at his Hyung. How do they know each other?

After finally taking off your outfit and makeup. You put your mask under your chin, picked up your bag and left the arena. You exhaled loudly after taking your seat in the van as exhaustion filled you. "I can't believe we won an award." Ji-Na gaped.

"I know. It feels like a dream." Miya added.

You was about to congratulate your members before your phone buzzed. You looked at the notification in confusion. It was a text from a random number.

XXXX:

Really great today.

You:

XXXX:
Wow. I wasn't expecting you
To reply😂

You:

Handsome face?😂

Joshua:
Handsome? Thank you milady

Joshua:
Wanna grab a coffee tomorrow?

You:
I would love that. 12:00pm?

Joshua:
See you there.

"Why are you smiling at your phone?" Se Ri asked, nudging your shoulder.

You put your phone in your pocket "No reason. I'm just going to grab coffee with a friend tomorrow."

"Does this friend just happen to be a boy?" Ji-Na teased.

You tried your hardest cover up your blushed cheeks, "Yes. But we are nothing more than friends. We only met today."

Miya's hand shot over her mouth "Who is it?"

You sunk into your seat a little, gripping onto the seat belt "Joshua Hong."

A loud shriek echoed through the air. "Joshua Hong?! From Seventeen?!" Ji-Na asked loudly.

"Yes." You replied, your hands over your ears "Do you guys know them?"

All three of them stared at you like you were an idiot. "You don't know who Seventeen is? How are you an Idol?"

You shrugged "I'm always too busy, I never payed attention"

Se Ri placed her hand on your shoulder and shook her head slowly at you "Poor thing. You have missed out."

"She's right. They are even trending on Twitter right now-" Miya started before her jaw hung open. The silence was unbearable but before you could ask what was wrong she burst into uncontrollable laughter.

You, Ji-Na and Se Ri looked at each other, confused about what was wrong with your friend. "What the hell is so funny. Is it Y/n's viral meme face again. Se Ri joked.

You nudged her arm once again. Miya finally pulled herself together and showed you her phone. "Kim Mingyu's reaction to your part in our performance has gone viral."

You snatched her phone and scrolled through the tweets. There were multiple copies of the same clip. There was purely shock and amazement plastered on his face. The fact that he looked at you like that made you blush. Thank god you didn't see him whilst you were performing.

During the ride back to the dorms, you decided to research Mingyu. I know psycho much...But you were intrigued. Just your luck, you had a lot in common. You were both rappers, you write your own lyrics and had the same blood type. You couldn't help but find it cute when you read that his nickname was housewife Mingyu and how his fans say he looked like a puppy. You found yourself chuckling to your phone as you watched clips of his members bullying him. You immediately shut your phone off and contained your smile when you realized what you were doing. Nope. Don't get attached. This guy ruined your life. You told yourself.

The first thing you did when you got back to the dorm was jump into the shower and then jumped into bed, trying to forget about the events that happened only a couple hours prior. It didn't take long for a smile to creep on your face when you thought about seeing Joshua again. You turned over in your covers and forced your eyes shut, trying to fall into slumber but that didn't work until a few hours scrolling through Twitter and finding yourself in the deep depths of YouTube.
