"NORMANI!"

Fans and paparazzi shouted my name as I stepped out of the van with my security surrounding me.

I held onto my coat tightly that covered my outfit for today.

"ARE YOU AND RM BACK TOGETHER?"

I duck my head trying to avoid the annoying flashing lights from the cameras before entering the BigHit building.

The doors closed behind both my bodyguards and I as I was immediately met with an intern.

"your late" she tells me slightly smiling. She thought she was slick, saying things rudely doesn't get ignored even if you smile at me.

"I know"

I followed her to one of the room where I needed to be for the photoshoot I was supposed to be at ten minutes ago.

The photoshoot was for all artists apart of BigHit Entertainment. From BTS, Lee Hyun, and TXT.

It was such a big deal for me because I haven't met TXT yet, I spoken to Hyun once but other than that the only people I really know was my members.

I entered the room with my bodyguards standing outside the door. "GOOD! YOU GUYS ARE DOING GREAT!" I hear a photo yell after snapping photos.

I look up to see my members lined up by height mixed in with the members of TXT, my eyes jot to Joon whose eyes sparkled underneath the large ring light.

They all looked amazing, like handsome bodyguards. I was brought out my thoughts when the intern shouted my appearance.

"SHES HERE. I REPEAT NORMANI IS HERE!"

With that came along with what felt like thousands of eyes, the boys that were once lined up looking at the camera were now looking at me.

I slightly smile, "you ready?" She asks me causing me to nod.

"GOOD!" I hear the photographer say before approaching me holding his camera.

"Sorry for being late" I say before bowing to apologize. He smiles softly at me, "it's fine. We needed a couple of shots without you in anyway. Are you already dress? We can jump right into it, if that's okay with you?" He asks.

"Yeah" I tell him.

"Alright. Ready when you are" he says before walking off. The intern then begins to touch up my makeup by putting a little nude gloss on my lips.

I unzipped the coat letting it fall to down my shoulders, exposing my outfit.

She smiles before turning away allowing me to face the boys who stared me down. The only eyes I cared for the most was Joon, who looked like he couldn't wait to rip me out of this dress as I was speaking.

I walk onto the set and was immediately greeted by the members of TXT who nodded smiling at me. They avoided eye contact which was so adorable causing me smile widely waving at them.

I wanted them to be comfortable enough to where we don't have to bow to greet each other.

"Alright! I want everyone to line up just the way you are but in your correct groups. It doesn't matter the order, I just need the leaders in the front. Lee, I don't think I need you for this set right now. I'll call you back in thirty" The man shouts.

I watch as my members and members of TXT moved around to get by their members. Lee Hyun smiles at me before passing me walking off set.

"Normani, I want you in the middle of the groups. So you will be standing in between NamJoon and Yeonjun"

I nod following the photographers order by walking in the space that they were so nice enough to live open for me.

Joon smirks at me, I softly roll my eyes at him. My eyes shift to Yeonjun who stood there nervously, avoiding eye contact with me.

I stood between the two taller boys trying to hold back my laugh. It was so awkward, which I hated.

No one said anything, it was just quiet. I turned to Yeonjun who immediately looked away from me.

"You were late" a voice pulled me out my thoughts causing me to turn to Joon.

"Thank you, Captain Obvious"

I hear JungKook who stood behind Joon snicker at my comment. I clear my throat to ease the tension, before waiting for the photographers orders.

"Did you see the pictures?" He whispers to me smiling at the camera.

"Yeah. I've also seen the rumors" I murmur.

Not that I didn't expect it but Joon and I had been trending since those photos got out. Everyone on social media had either been questioning if Joon and I were together or not.

Joon and I already expected this to happen and we talked about it. Before we were so careful and worried about people finding and they eventually did. But things were different now, I don't think either of us care.

If people find out we're dating so what?

He smirks at me before leaning down towards me causing different reasons from the staff and the other members.

My eyes widen as I froze standing between him and Yeonjun.

"They aren't really rumors, now are they" he smirks causing me to choke as a response, he chuckles at the reaction he got.

"What are you doing?" I whisper.

"What? It's not like they all don't know" he smiles. I roll my eyes about to say something when the photographer walks back onto the set.

"the mood... what happened to the mood, everyone!?! Why is everyone so awkward" the photographer jokes smiling.

I lean out looking at the members of both groups, they either forcing smiles to ease the tension.

I exhale deeply before deciding to fix the mood. I stepped out of the line getting attention from everyone including the staff.

I walked over to the Bluetooth getting the attention of my assistant. "What happened?" She ask.

"Can I see my..." she cuts me off by handing me my phone. I unlocked my phone, connecting the Bluetooth before choosing a song that will hopefully change the mood.

"Normani?" The photographer.

Before I could say anything a Bruno Mars song was playing. I turned to Joon who smiled affectionately at me, probably expecting this of us.

I walked to the members of TXT getting their attention, I motioned their hand for them to join me in the middle of set.

They all long amongst themselves in confusion, I watch as Hoseok approaches me causing me to laugh to notice him dancing widely.

Everyone began laughing including me when I notice him pretending to twerk, "24 carrot magic in the airrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!" He sang.

I watch as Kai, the youngest from txt clapped along to the music before slowly joining Hoseok and I.

Without a word, Joon decided to dance as well, we began pumping his fist in the getting reactions out of the members of txt.

I walked towards Yoongi and Jin pulling them towards Hoseok, eventually they all gave in. It wasn't much to get them in the middle and dance to the music and change the mood.

"Good! JUST LIKE THAT!" A voice yells before snapping pictures at us.

Two hours later the shoot was over and it was finally time to leave. I followed behind my assistant who was explaining my schedule for the rest of the day.

After this, I had another promotional appearance, I was appearing on ASC aka After School Club. Mainly to promote my new single coming out in a couple of weeks and the movie.

We approached the elevator, I was about to press the button when someone already does for my assistant and I.

I turn to see Joon with a couple of the members behind him causing me smile.

"Thanks" I say trying to be causal and professional as possible. My assistant side eyes the both of us before smiling slightly.

"Are you free later on?" Joon whispers leaning down towards me.

I eye my assistant to make sure she wasn't looking at us, "I have to go on ASC in a hour" I explain lowly.

The elevator dings, and the doors open, my assistant enters and I follow her. Behind me was Joon and Hoseok with Jin.

Joon joins me as I stand in the back of the elevator behind everyone. Hoseok and Jin being talking as the doors close, and my assistant pretends not to listen.

He sighs softly causing me to turn and look at him, "what's wrong?" I ask him seriously.

"I just... been having a hard time today" he confesses. I arch my brows, worrying about him. Even when he was having a hard time he'd never actually tell me.

"What happened?" I ask him wanting to know.

"You know what you can do to make me feel better?" He asks pausing before leaning closer to me.

I listen waiting for him to tell me. I'd do anything. As long as he was actually okay.

"Meet me at my place tonight... clothings optional" he smirks before standing straight causing me to realize nothing was wrong with him, he was just being nasty.

He was playing a game, a game he wanted to win. But didn't he know, I was the best a playing games. Hell, invented it.

My eyes wander the elevator to make sure no one was looking before I purposely dropped on my phone near his foot.

"oh... I dropped..." I trailed off before leaning my body onto him purposely, causing him to let out a gasp.

I eye before squatting down to pick up my phone, making sure he was looking. I smirked softly, as the elevator doors opened, I fixed my dress.

A smile appears on his lips as he watched me, "see you tonight" I whisper before following my assistant out the elevator.
