our muses going to an event together // hyuntae x haneul vai ai casal
strickly professional, haneul had been ready for hours — she wasn’t exactly known for taking too much time getting ready, instead, she trusted her team and they knew her enough to never disappoint in terms of styling. in other words, things were as smooth as they could be before she even knew her boyfriend would be attending the same event and would come out of the car almost at the same time. it wasn’t anything big, but there was paparazzi at the front, she was expected to present an award and just be on her own for the rest of the night. it was a fun event, one of the kind she could see a few of her friends, drink a little, mingle and appear pristine in front of the cameras to keep her fans talking for a while. meaningless, yet important for someone famous like haneul. somehow her appearance mattered for many people out there and she was happy to attend, especially when she could have a little joy while doing so. she was crossing the short walk to the car to the front of a row where media was allowed to take pictures until she could get to the venue, beautifully grinning from ear to ear, waving slightly at some people at the back, making eyes with fellow artists upfront and just taking from experience what being a good influence was like. seeing how the sky was going from orange to deep blue in minutes, it was early for many but for her, it was the best time to shoot pictures yet it was neither yet night nor day anymore. her eyes were darting to the scenery of the sky, the disarray of colors, flashes from cameras, and of people walking in, out, and about places to get a glimpse when a relatively tall and skinny figure stood right beside her, touching the back of her hand with their thumb in a fond way. the moment lasted less than seconds as they were walking, finally making way into the venue already full of people. hyuntae was the first to look upon her with a smirk, which she replied with another, they were standing side by side while taking instructions from the managers to their tables. she wasn’t exactly paying attention enough to know where her boyfriend was, what he was doing, or whatever, their lives were already concurrently as they were without having to keep tabs on one another. however, that was a pleasant surprise, in that time and space of life — of course. before she could make way to her table, haneul waved, talked, greeted many people in the way, minutes when by until she was finally advised to sit. ‘ hi. i take this is my table.’ she said right at the edge of hyuntae’s ear, sitting across from him in the table, to be honest, she could tell very much how many strings he had to pull to sit at her table. ‘ you’re costar will get jealous. ’ her head tilted to the side, looking intently at him with a playful smile. she crossed her legs behind the table without even noticing, her attention couldn’t care less if people were seeing them when they were so open about their relationship anyway. it was years ago since she was too naive, too shy, and just too egoistic not to consider her own happiness and well-being against constructed barriers of others, dumb expectations, and just hyuntae’s own stubbornness. ‘ just so you know, i didn’t come here to see you win. but if you do... congratulations are in order. not now, at least, it would be inappropriate. ’ they could chit-chat before the show started, in fancy clothes, right there before the eyes of their co-workers and a few of their fans, it definitely made her night even easier to go through.
