Wringing your hands for the thousandth time, you sat stiffly on the leather seat of the van as your head turned to face the tinted black window where the bustling city of New York reflected onto your eyes. It was your first time in New York, and everything felt big and extravagant from the towering buildings to the people here as the van drove past them. You almost felt out of place being here, like an imposter for coming to such a big city.
Unexpectedly, you felt your heart squeezed in its cage over that thought.
How did I get so lucky to come here?
As if answering your silent question, a large, warm hand calmly enveloped yours. Surprised by this, you tore your eyes away from the passing scenery to look at the hand covering yours as you traced them back to its owner, Lee Jeno. Donned in an all-black ensemble that consisted of a sleek tuxedo jacket that hid his bare chest underneath, you do your best to not let your wandering eyes stare at it for more than a second before meeting his gaze.
Ah, that’s right—I’m his plus one.
Peaking behind the curtain of his styled bangs were eyes of concern as Jeno checked on you. Though you tried to mask your anxiousness, nothing goes past him as he gave your hands a reassuring squeeze. Your lips curled into a small smile as you respond back before your gaze shifted to study the satin material of the dress that was kindly loaned for you to wear and match with Jeno.
It made you recall the events that happened back at the hotel where a designated team of stylists had helped you and Jeno get ready for tonight’s fashion show. The whole experience was all so overwhelming to you even as you attempt to relax when getting your hair and makeup done. And Jeno definitely must’ve noticed as this was your first time getting glammed up for such a huge event.
You started to feel his thumb rubbing soft circles over your delicate skin, providing warmth and a nice distraction for you to focus your mind on. You knew it was his way of comforting you when words couldn’t. And he had done the same on that very night when he asked if you had wanted to come to New York with him for fashion week.
You heard the door to your apartment click shut, followed by the sound of shoes squeaking as they were being taken off by the entryway. The familiar jangling of keys immediately made you recognise who it was as you heard them placing the keys on the table before calling out, “Y/N?”
A smile quickly etched its way onto your lips as you turn down the fire on the stove.
“In the kitchen!” you replied, closing the simmering pot with its lid.
Footsteps shuffled towards the kitchen now, and as you turned around, your heart swelled with happiness at the sight of your boyfriend coming home from his late-night practice. Walking up into his welcoming arms, they naturally found their home around your waist.
Jeno leaned in and pressed his lips deeply onto yours. Your eyes widened for a fraction before they closed, relaxing into the kiss. It felt different than the usual kisses he would greet you with. This was a little bit more affectionate, and you could sense that something good must’ve happened.
“I’ve missed you today,” Jeno said, pulling away for air before burying his face into the crook of your neck, inhaling your familiar scent.
“I’ve missed you too,” you answered, reaching up to play with the ends of his hair. “Did something good happen today?”
Lifting his head up, the smile on his lips confirmed your thoughts as you excitedly urged, “What is it?”
“Alright, well I had a meeting with my manager and a few staff after my practice today, and they told me that I’m being invited by Peter Do, the fashion designer, to New York for fashion week.”
Your eyes widened like saucers by the news. “Really? That’s amazing, Jeno.”
“I know! They informed me that he wanted to collaborate with me to model his new spring collection.”
“Wait—you’re going to model in his show too?”
“That’s right.”
“Wow, I’m really so happy for you!” you gushed while bouncing excitedly in his arms.
“Thanks, babe. But that’s not all,” Jeno said, drawing you closer to him as he rested his forehead against yours, his dark pupils boring into your gaze. “You get to be my plus one for the event.”
Your muscles immediately tensed up by his words as you let them sink in. Your lips were parting, searching for the right words but you could only utter, “I…I don’t know what to say.”
“You don’t need to give me an answer right now because I know it’s a lot to think about, especially since we’ll be in public,” you heard Jeno quietly say. “But… I’d love to have you there with me as support.”
After the announcement of your relationship with Jeno, both of you agreed to keep it on the down low to avoid the public eye from prying into your life. Though it was hard at first to navigate through the public’s mixed reaction, eventually, everything had toned down as everyone came to accept it.
“Is it really okay for me to attend?” you asked in a tentative voice. That’s what you were most afraid of considering that only exclusive celebrities are invited to such events. “I’m a nobody… It would feel weird to be there amongst all those famous people.”
“We can be nobodies there together then,” he suggested with a chuckle, causing you to slightly grumble at his response.
“Jeno…” you drawled out, signaling for him to take it seriously.
His expression changed as soon as he heard the uncertainty in your voice. He inhaled deeply. “Alright, well I’m being serious. I would really love for you to come with me on this new journey. I want no one but you to be my plus one. And I think that as long as we stick together, we’ll be okay and have a great time.”
You began to feel Jeno’s hands steadily creep up underneath the shirt you wore as they rest on the base of your back. His calloused ones drew repeated circles over your skin that sent shivers tingling up and down your spine. Your eyes fluttered shut almost involuntarily as you reveled in the feeling while also considering Jeno’s words.
“And… I kinda want to show you off to everyone that you’re my girl,” Jeno teasingly added as your cheeks burned warmly.
Although Jeno had said that you didn’t need to give an answer right away, your mind was already made up right there and then.
And that was how you had ended up in New York, on the way to the very first event with Jeno. Your stomach churned uneasily as your grip on Jeno’s hand tightened. You were worried about making a fool of yourself in front of everyone, especially on your boyfriend’s first debut into the world of fashion where many tabloids are sure to be present to capture this exciting moment. It made the feelings of doubt return to cloud your judgment of whether you truly deserved to be here, next to Jeno.
“You’re going to be alright, babe.” The sound of Jeno’s voice broke through your thoughts as reality settled back to you. One of his hands reached over to tip your chin up as he held your gaze, not letting you tear it away. You swallowed thickly as the faint cheers from the crowd outside slowly grew louder, but you paid no mind to it and only continued to look at Jeno. “Remember, we’re in this together. I won’t let you leave my side.”
His reassuring words managed to dissolve whatever pesky thoughts you had as your pink-stained lips cracked into a genuine smile. That caused Jeno to grin as well as he leaned in to plant a quick kiss on your cheek that beamed a bright red at his affection.
“We’ve arrived,” the driver upfront announced as the van stopped in front of a building where flanked on either side were fans and paparazzi waiting for you both to step out.
“Ready?” Jeno asked, his eyes twinkling with excitement. You couldn’t help but absorb those feelings as well.
“Yeah,” you breathed out, composing yourself one last time before the door to the van pulled open.
The crowd clamoured even louder as soon as they spotted Jeno stepping out of the van. Cameras immediately flashed, capturing every precious moment. From where you sat, you could feel the massive amount of pressure and support that came from the public outside as they await your entrance as well. Making the last few adjustments to your dress, you saw Jeno extending a hand out for you to grab onto.
Together, your boyfriend mouthed those words clearly for you to read.
Casting all those nerves aside, you rolled your shoulders back as you gracefully accepted Jeno’s hand with a grateful smile. Placing one foot out, finally, you made your appearance to the public as you hear the camera shutters go off like crazy, along with the crowd that turned frenzied over your appearance.
Stepping right next to Jeno, he immediately snaked his arm around your waist, drawing you close to him. Your heart fluttered at this small gesture as you turned to peer up at him through your lashes. Despite all the noise going on around you, they seemed to fade from your hearing as the only thing that mattered most important to you right now was experiencing this big moment with Jeno.
(Never had I thought that it was him… But I really like the chibi version of him and the song by E ve is so great!)
