"Just ask Mingi how he wants to fix the room. The pictures and decorations are here. If something is missing just text it as soon as possible so I can find or buy.", Seonghwa whispered as he gave a paper bag to Yeosang.

"We need to ask permission from manager-nim if we can stay right?", Yeosang asked, turning to the others.

"I've got that covered.", Hongjoong said, occupied by his phone.

"Well then I suppose we should get going now.", Jongho said as he stood up and took his things.

"Hongjoong, are you sure those who are staying don't need assistance?", their manager asked as he played with the car keys.

"Yep! We don't need help, we'll take a taxi going back to the dorm.", Hongjoong gave an assuring nod and smile.

"Let's go boys! You need to rest for tomorrow.", their manager called out and the other members left, including the staffs.

     Hongjoong, Yeosang, San and Mingi were left in the lobby and watched as the others drove away.

"Ok! So the room we got is room 31. Its on the third floor.", Hongjoong announced as he read the permit.

"Let's start decorating then!", San energetically said.

     Once they got to the room, they started to place decorations on the wall and floor. There were also some strings and glittery threads that were sticked on the walls. Colorful flower petals were scattered around the floor, giving more vibrance to the room.

- after 2 hours -

"Whoo...I'm so tired."  Hongjoong said, panting and plopping on the room couch.

"It looks beautiful. Now all we need is balloons. I already informed Seonghwa-hyung.", Yeosang added, fidling with his phone.

"I just need to buy flowers and something that Yunho would like.", Mingi thought about what he could give to Yunho since flowers might be too simple.

Just then something popped up in his mind. He already told the journalist that him and Yunho would be a couple. A thought struck his mind and it gave him a smile.

"Yeosang, San, I have an idea.", Mingi called out to them. The two gave their attention to Mingi upon hearing their names.

"What is it?", San asked as he scooted to Mingi.

"I'm sure WooSan and WooSang are strong nominees for Best Friendship and I guess YunGi too.", Mingi started, slowly discussing his idea.

"And..?", Yeosang asked.

     Mingi told his new idea and it got shocked reactions from the other three. They didn't know Mingi would actually do this idea since it would be risky, but if it's for his happiness and for Yunho's too, they would help him always.

"Now you want to use my idea huh?", San teased.

"I just remembered what I told the journalist...the public will know eventually. It's better it came from me and him.", Mingi sighed and made himself comfortable on the couch.

- the next day -

It's already the day for the concert and the members had the morning all free and would have to go to the concert studio after lunch to prepare. The other members did not know Mingi's request since San, Yeosang and Hongjoong were the only ones who heard about it.

"Mingi, Jongho and I plan to head out. We might go directly to the concert studio after our plan. Just bring other things I forgot.", Seonghwa yelled from the hallway.

"Yes sir!", Wooyoung yelled back from the kitchen.

"You've got the balloons ready?", Mingi asked, peeking at the paperbag Seonghwa brought.

"Yeah, we'll be fixing it now. If we did it yesterday, it might have deflated.", Seonghwa answered.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

It was already the time of the concert and the members were feeling nervous and excitement crawling up their bodies, especially Mingi. What he would do was reckless, but the public would know anyways.

They were already in the mini fan meeting segment and they had already given the awards for:

Best Visual: Yeosang and Seonghwa

Best Meme Face: ima let my readers decide ☺️

Best Individual Content (by number of views): Hongjoong, San and Jongho

"So now! Please show our next award!", Yunho said, since he was chosen as the MC for this segment. Best couple flashed on the screen and the nominees were: SeongJoong, YunGi, WooSan and JongSang.

"I think we already know who the winner is.", Hongjoong said as he wiped his sweat.

"WooSan! WooSan!", Wooyoung and San cheered and soon the screen flashed WooSan, the others applauded and the two stood up jumping around in each other's arms.

"Of course no one would beat WooSan.", Jongho whined as he pointed at the two walking towards the mic.

"We would like to say thank you! To all our supporters and fans! Your effort and our effort got us to where we are now. We will give you our best as WooSan and as ATEEZ!", Wooyoung and San both gave their speeches and soon the next award was given.

"Now! For the last award! Best Friendship award!", Yunho announced. They all looked at the screen and saw WooSang, WooSan, YunGi, MinSang, MinJoong, JongSan, SanGi, JonGi, SeongSang and WooSanHwa.

"There's a lot of nominees.", Seonghwa said, laughing at the list of names.

"Now! There are only 3 winners for this.", Yunho continued. They all waited for the final list and the names were: WooSang, WooSanHwa and YunGi.

"Congratulations!!!!", Hongjoong greeted the winners and the others clapped. WooSang and WooSanHwa gave their speeches and soon it was YunGi.

"Good evening to all of you ATINY!", Mingi greeted.

"We hope that you had a great night!", Yunho added.

"So, um, we didn't expect that we would actually win because our members are really close to each other and they could pass us anytime.", Yunho started.

"But I think that how many years of friendship has brought us here. And I want to say something because of that. Rumors and false news have been brought to us these past times, but we never let it affect us.", Mingi held on the mic stand, nervous for the next lines he'll say. Yunho just looked at how Mingi was acting."I want to spend more years with Yunho, it can be as friends or as lovers. What ever he chooses, I will accept it fully.", Mingi looks to Yunho and the other gets surprised as Mingi holds his hand.

"I know that we haven't been on good terms these past few days. And I want that to end. I always wanted to ask you this but I guess this is the only time J had the courage to.", Mingi takes the mic from the stand and turns his body towards Yunho.

"What are you doing?", Yunho asks and giggles, trying to hide his confusion.

"Jeong Yunho, we might face a lot of challenges and criticism, but I don care about those as long as you're with me. So, will you accept me to be your lover?", Mingi asks, his grip tightening as he feels his nerves tensing everh second.

*just imagine them looking at each other like this 😭😭😭

"I-I...I don't know what to say.", Yunho covers his mouth from shock due to what Mingi asked. He wasn't prepared for what he will say if Mingi ever asked him out. Right now, all he wanted to say was 'yes, i will let you be my lover.', but pressure was building up inside him.

"It's fine...as long as you're ready...I will wait for you.", Mingi said, a hint of sadness in his voice. His eyes fell down and his hands lost their grip on Yunho's. A big failure it turned out to be...or was it?
