Around the Globe (Wonho X Reader)
Words: 4,722 Genre: Fluff Member: Wonho Group: Monsta X
It came time for that night before the day I was going to meet Wonho, the love of my life truly made me quiver. I was up around 2 AM as my friend who was accompanying me the next day to watch them live was snoring away in her bed. “God, this feels like such a dream,” you mumbled as you finished up putting together your outfit and laid a shiny beautiful pastel tinted bracelet next to your bag and looked at your wrist with the same exact bracelet except a different pastel colour on. I was planning to give Wonho a ‘parting’ gift that night because yes, I will be attending the Beautiful tour that they were hustling around the world doing. Just my luck, my city was on the list and in fact, they are already in my city right this minute! I felt the excitement bubble up to my chest as I dove in my sleeping bag, ready to wake up early and beat the lines to the concert.
“Ah, I wonder what type of Monbebes will be at tonight’s show,” Hoseok mumbled softly as he groggily woke up the morning of the show as the staff were hustling the boys out of their rooms to begin their day bright and early with intense amounts of rehearsing as they’d normally would do.
I hear my alarm beeping as my friend (Y/FN) shot up from her bed and gasped. She realized what the alarm was for and a smile shot up on her face. “(Y/N), (Y/N)!! It’s the day!” she exclaimed whilst trying to shake me awake. I groaned but felt a flutter in my heart as I realized that I was seeing my all time ultimate group with my ultimate bias today. I let out a soft yell as I lifted my heavy body from the tangled sheets from my sleeping bag on the floor. I let my phone ring and fill the room with Monsta X’s music and quickly swooped my outfit on. It was a simple outfit, a white Monsta X hoodie with ripped jeans and a black tank top underneath to look casual. I looked at my wrist and smiled, knowing that Wonho and I were going to have matching bracelets by the end of the day and that meant the world to me.
I quickly stuffed my bag with a fair amount of food and so did (Y/FN). I hopped in the car and began our drive to the small venue that they were going to be performing at. I turned up the volume to blast our music with the windows rolled down, typical. (Y/FN) was sitting next to you and quickly texting and updating everybody on our location so she could scream about how much she wanted to meet and hug I.M for hours on end. I suddenly felt my heart sink as I was busy controlling the steering wheel. “Um, (Y/FN), did we-- bring the tickets?” I questioned her slowly as I made eye contact with her. I thought I saw her eyes flicker and dilate. “Kidding (Y/N), I did thank me later when you are in Wonho’s arms alright?” she joked as she almost choked with laughter. I gave her a dirty humorous look and promptly shift my eyes on the road. We pulled up to a parking spot nearby the venue, thank god it was early or else the streets would’ve been crowded to no extent and parking would merely be impossible. I took in the fresh morning air and shuffled with (Y/FN) to the front of the line. There were approximately 5 people ahead of me so all was well.
After a couple hours of chit chatting to the other Monbebes with the line constantly growing longer, we saw a black van with tinted grey windows pull up from the streets and everybody started going berserk. We realized that it indeed was Monsta X pulling up to their venue, ready to rehearse and give us the night of our lives. I waved my hand up in the air frantically and called out to (Y/FN),” Stay here! I need to see them!” Impulsively I dropped my things whilst running as quick as I could to see the members. By the time I sprinted to the corner of the block, they had just begun unloading everything and the boys stepped out looking fresh as ever. There were only a couple other fans with me there but we were all giggly and hyped up. I slowly walked like a human being, or at least tried to up to the members. The staff weren’t too concerned about mobbing at the time so we had a minute of interaction before they were prompted to go in by the venue. I gazed up at Wonho with his black silky hair that was glistening beneath the sunlight. “O-oh my, hello Wonho!” I greeted him slightly bowing, as it was a habit that I had developed ever since I was a young child. I got his attention as he slowly turned towards me and gave that heartwarming smile that I had fallen for a year or so ago.
“G-good luck with tonight’s show! I’m rooting for you, you’ll see me in the crowd!” I blushed, not knowing how to make sentences or not stutter. “Thank you so much,” he replied to the best of his abilities as he gently ran a hand through my short lavender locks. “I’ll remember you, what is your name?” he asked, trying to initiate a conversation before the other fans caught up to us. “(Y/N)! Practice well for me! Being honest here, I-I love you lots!” I felt my cheeks tint pink as he looked towards the side, flustered. “(Y/N), thank you, I-- ah, I love you too” he smiled as the corners of his lips perked up. “I need to go, see you inside tonight!” he called out as the security was pushing everybody back and ushering the boys to head inside the venue. I held up my hand as it was clearly shaking from my excitement and anxiety. Did I really just initiate a conversation with Wonho and it went well? Yes, but it sure felt like a dream.
Whilst daydreaming and writing the events on my phone, I made my way back to (Y/FN) and she was sitting on the ground just messing around with her lightstick and waiting for the excitement to die down. “(Y/FN) GOD YOU WILL NEVER BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED!” I shrieked with excitement as tears were almost about to roll down my face. “Lemme guess (Y/N), you met and eye fucked Wonho?” she chuckled. “Pretty much-- no-- I mean-- he knows my name-- and I-- I had a full on conversation with hi--” I choked on my excitement and coughed up a storm. When I finally felt as if I’ve calmed down, I decided to speak up again. “I y’know, just talked to him, said that I loved him. He said it back of course but he knows my name and he’ll be expecting me in the front of pit, oh man…” I trailed off, getting overly excited in my mind again.
“Wow (Y/FN), don’t get too into it now, or else you’ll have a heart attack in front of your ultimate group,” she joked as she patted me on the back a couple times. The hours flew by quickly as more Monbebes trickled into the venue grounds. It was around the evening times by this point and we’re almost able to be let in. I finished munching on a sandwich I bought to give me more energy for the night. (Y/FN) handed me my ticket as we single filed into the security checkpoints. Our tickets were scanned and we were ushered to the front of the stage, the pit. Once I got to the bottom of the stairs I booked it for the barrier, I wanted to be as close to them as possible. (Y/FN) practically chased after me as I clung onto the railing. Thankfully she was able to grab the spot next to me before other fans stormed into the venue as well. “God (Y/FN), is this really happening? I’m shaking so badly I can’t even comprehend,” I called out while nervously chuckling.
The lights suddenly dimmed as the crowd went wild. I switched on my lightstick and leaned up against the barrier. The boys appeared within a mist of smoke as the concert truly began. I was screaming at first, but then I found my will to calm down or else Wonho would think that I was a psychopathic maniac. Their first song was ‘Beautiful’. I remember aggressively trying to film while managing my cool. (Y/FN) on the other hand was having a blast and remained chill, I still don’t understand how she was managing to do that throughout the entire show. Minhyuk came to our end so much as he did all this fanservice and even came up to my phone at one point and made an aegyo face which made me flustered and smile a lot. Finally, it was time for the first ment, which was their talk with all of us. I let my eyes fall on Wonho as I.M and Jooheon were speaking about something in English. I tilted my head as to stare at him and the light shining on Hoseok made him look like a glistening GOD. The sweat dripping from the rest of the members didn’t help with my beating heart as well.
As the rest of Monsta X did some fan service for all of us, I spotted Wonho looking around the crowd a lot, was he trying to find me? I stood on my toes and lifted my head up as to try and gain his attention. Finally he swung his head over in my direction and I waved, not wanting to miss the opportunity to say hi to him and tell him that I was indeed in the front, watching him. I squealed slightly as he waved back and shot me a polite wink. Seriously, I melted and lived for that gesture. The songs continued out and the entire concert was booming. I was jamming out and having a blast, especially now that Wonho knew where I was, he constantly came over to my side and danced in front of my camera or tried to do aegyo for the crowd as well. Jooheon made his way over a couple times as well and did some flirtatious moves that made (Y/FN) flustered as hell.
There came a point in time during the middle of the show where the entirety of Monsta X was passing out candy. I saw Wonho pick up his basket and quickly snake his way towards my area of the crowd. I felt my heart beating faster, was he really going to acknowledge me first? Before I knew it, I saw him slide his mic to the side and kneel down. “For you (Y/N),” he called out as he gave me a piece of candy. I looked down in embarrassment and blew him an air kiss as thanks since I couldn’t exactly talk to him in that moment. He blew one back as he chucked candy at all the other Monbebes in the sea. I quickly shoved the sweet in my bag as they continued on with the song. “(Y/FN), see what I told you? Wonho knows my name!” I called out while putting an arm around her as her bias, I.M came to our side of the stage and showered her with fan service as well.
The booming went on for another hour and a half. Then they had to announce the concert was over and the last song was being sung. I felt my tears in my eyes as Wonho was singing and looking exactly towards my direction. His gaze and voice fell into my heart as I also heard his slight lisp that got me to chuckle and think that it was cute. I started to sing along with 5:14 Last Page. As the song came to an end, the crowd cheered like wildfire. The seven of them grasped each other’s hands and bowed as if it was the end of a high school play. The lights flickered on as the curtains came to a draw. The staff ushered the people out of the venue but I knew we weren’t done yet, I still had the hi touch as well as a photo with my favourite group!
I felt myself wanting to fall, my knees weak from standing for so long. I decided to sit on the steps to my section as (Y/FN) followed me. I breathed out, “So, are you excited to see I.M in the flesh and hug him?” She squealed and grasped onto my arm. “(Y/N) you have no idea! I prepared a long letter for him and even better, I could only write it in English and he’s fluent in it!” she continued on. I chuckled as we were prompted to line up by the staff to get ready for our benefits. Hi touch was up first, and I was so excited to feel my palms against theirs. I thought to myself in that moment, ‘God I hope I don’t smell like a monster and my palms don’t spontaneously combust and hurt Hoseok’. I mentally tried to prepare myself as I entered the room with the members. Their entire aura made me take a step back and really treasure the moment. First up was Kihyun, he was memorable as I called out,” God you look beautiful!” he blushed and bowed his head whilst whispering a quick thank you. Next up was Wonho, and even after the concert he still looked so nice and even his scent was enough to captivate me.
I locked eyes with him immediately after letting go of Kihyun’s hand. His neutral face quickly perked up as he saw me slowly heading towards his direction. We interlocked fingers immediately as we stared into each other’s eyes, it was like something out of a typical Korean drama except it was real, for sure. “(Y/N), you were so enthusiastic, thank you so much.” he bowed while still not wanting to let go of my fingers. I blushed and replied to him back quickly, “No, you were so amazing, I sincerely love you and your efforts so much.” So much for my efforts to try and be genuine. “I love you too (Y/N)!” he exclaimed while using his other free hand to cup my hand that was interlocked with his. I felt my heart beat about to explode as the line had to move on. I nodded towards him as if I was going to see him again, which I was and made my way to the rest of the members. Jooheon, I.M and Minhyuk quickly passed by as I said each of their names and thanked them. Shownu seemed so carefree and happy that I couldn’t help but to comment that he was cute. Hyungwon looked so amazing but I remember skimming past him because we had to quicken up the pace of the line.
I quickly trudged up the stairs with (Y/FN) as we quickly talked about our experience as to touching their hands. “Ohmygod I can’t even begin to talk about how I.M treated me! He licked his lips at me (Y/N), he did!! And also--” she trailed on as I nodded and captured what she was talking to me. I quickly pulled out my phone and wrote down my experience before it slipped my mind, and believe me it wouldn't ever slip my mind. Fans were now ushered into take photos quickly with a group of 20 at a time. It was ridiculous but well, what can you do! I swept my hair and made sure my bangs were looking fine. I tugged on my hoodie as I made my appearance down the stairs, we were the next and last group to take a picture with our ultimate group. As the rest of the fans were dismissed, I saw Wonho peering around the corner and quickly waving at me.
I found myself rushing towards Hoseok as he let me be engulfed in his arms as if we’ve known each other our entire lives. I inhaled his scent as he rubbed my back. “I was wondering if you weren’t gonna show up, the rest of them have gone!” he commented as I pulled out my bracelet to give to him. “Don’t worry, I’m here now Wonho,” I reassured him, half joking. “So uh- I have something for you! Can I put it on you?” I asked him whilst holding out the pastel bracelet. He nodded as he extended his wrist out to me. I gently took it, feeling his bony and soft skin. I hooked the bracelet on him and smiled up while slyly slipping my hands into his. “It’s so adorable (Y/N), thank you so much!” Suddenly we were surprised with the staff’s announcement of a count down. 3..2... -- quick! I slid myself into Hoseok’s arm as we kept our fingers interlocked and took a picture. “Wanna do a heart or s-something?” I asked him, still flustered but already getting comfortable. “Sure, anything for you (Y/N)!” he commented as we created a heart with our hands interlocking as his arm was around me, shielding me from any potential dangers.4
The flash happened in an instant. I turned back towards him. “I’m going to miss you so much Wonho…” I trailed off as reality suddenly hit me that I was potentially never going to see him again. Suddenly I remembered something that I shoved in my pocket earlier, my number. I went in for a hug and grabbed his spare hand. I quickly slipped the piece of paper in his hand as I pulled back and gazed into his eyes one last time. “You’re very cute (Y/N)...” he whispered as he quickly glanced at what I shoved into his hand. He felt his lips perk up in a smile and I did the same. “See you later Wonho!” I winked as he winked back quickly while blowing an air kiss and sending all of us off with waves of ‘goodbye’.
I met back up with (Y/FN) as we got separated from the crowd. I let her engulf me in a hug as I rested my head on her shoulder. “Wow, that was-- quite an adventure,” I breathed out into the cold air of the city as my breath of mist disintegrated into the atmosphere. She nodded and replied, “For sure (Y/N), for sure! I’ll drive back this time, you definitely deserve a rest, and so do I but you drove here--” she reasoned and ended up bursting into laughter. It was almost midnight and I needed to get home to process whatever the hell ended up happening today. We didn’t turn on the music on the drive back, we just simply couldn’t or else one of us would be a crying mess again. I gathered my things from (Y/FN)’s house and left for mine. As I parked the car and pulled all my items out, I get a ‘ding’ from my phone, a text message this late? Was it (Y/FN) saying that I left something in her house? Most likely, so I ignored it until I got settled and placed everything in it’s correct place.
I quickly hopped in the shower and put my phone on charge, still disregarding the message and thinking that it was unimportant. After a good hot realxing shower, I stepped out and prompted myself for bed. I let myself roll under my covers and grab ahold of my phone, home sweet home. I placed my thumbprint in and let my phone unlock and looked at the text message that I received, only now there were two. It was from an unknown number that wasn’t even from the US. My heart raced, could it be?
“Hey (Y/N), it’s Wonho, I really hope this sends through, you can call me Hoseok from this point on!” - 12:45 AM
“(Y/N)? Is this working? Are you awake?” - 1:34 AM
My heart beated so quickly, I thought I was going to have a heart attack at that moment. It couldn't be, it just couldn’t be him… could it? My thoughts raced through my head. I quickly typed back with the speed of sound, ‘Is this really Hoseok? I mean if you are then wow, I never expected you to contact me but, hi!’ My thumb hit the send button as I anxiously waited for a reply. I checked my social media and went through my pictures from that night when I got another text back. It was a picture with some text below it, but it was him alright.
He seemed so cozy, curled up in bed with the face that I loved so much smiling at me this time, just me. I let myself squeal as I replied back. ‘Ohmygod it’s really you! You should get some rest, it’s really late…’ I let my parental and protection instincts come alive at that moment to care about his health. I got another text message back almost instantly, this boy knew how to respond and I loved it. ‘I will when you answer me this question (Y/N), I’ll be in town for another day and we’re kinda allowed to do our own thing and relax so uh-- I was wondering if-- you wanted to-- see me again?’
My mouth immediately dropped as I replied back instantaneously. ‘God Hoseok, I would-- absolutely love that! Where would you want to meet? I can drive us around!’ I offered, trying to be helpful to make this hangout or even ‘date’, to go successful. Was this really happening to me? It’s got to be a dream. ‘Possibly by the mall next door to the venue, we’re staying in a hotel close to there so you can just pick me up from there. Anytime is good for me so just text me whenever’. My heart was racing once again, was this going to happen? I would literally drop everything and anything to go see him again, he inspired me so much and now he’s trying to tell me that I’m worth something? Wow, what a night.
I replied back as quick as I could. ‘That sounds good Hoseok, I’ll pass out any second now so I apologize if I stop responding… haha’. I let myself yawn and my eyelids drop by the second. Before I knew it, I was unconscious and the last text message that he sent me that night stated, ‘Goodnight cutie, thanks for making tonight worthwhile’. In the morning, no alarm clock rang and I was so thankful for that. I heard the birds annoyingly chirping in the distance and the sun’s rays seeping into my closed blinds. I realized that I had a hangover headache still with me so I grabbed some pills from the corner of my nightstand and quickly shoved them down with water. I looked at my phone, convinced that last night was a complete dream as I got him and I just probably passed out in (Y/FN)’s home or something, but nope. The text messages were all there. My eyes landed on the last message that he sent and I felt my cheeks turn a tint of a pink. I decided that I should get dressed.
I quickly shot a text message to Hoseok. ‘I’ll be coming soon, sorry that I slept in kinda late, I’ll see you there!’ I slipped on another comfortable pastel hoodie as well as comfortable shorts this time around. Locking the door and starting my car, I began to make my way down the busy city’s roads to the hotel that I was meant to pick him up at. When I pulled up to the lobby, I already saw him waiting with a mask on ,trying to cover his identity. I unlocked the door for him and waved him down as he began to trudge to my car. He opened the door and removed his mask to get a good view of me. “I missed you (Y/N)...” he smiled as he engulfed me with a hug that I loved so much. “I literally still can’t believe you’re here with me Hoseok, I’ll show you around the streets of (Y/C) and I’m sure you’ll love it!” I exclaim while placing a gentle hand on his. He nodded while squeezing my hand a bit as I pulled back to concentrate on navigating my vehicle.
“How was your sleep last night?” I heard his voice asking me the caring question. I shook my head and snapped out of my concentration trace as I replied. “Very good, I thought I was dreaming half the time though, but I’m definitely awake now that’s for sure!” I reassured him as I drove up a windy road to one of the most beautiful places that my city had to offer. “Yeah same, I thought that you wouldn’t even reply and think I was some ad or something…” he suggested as he looked at the window for the view. We finally reached the peak of the viewpoint as I parked my car and turned the engine off. “(Y/N), what is this?” Hoseok questioned as he jumped out of my vehicle. “It’s called (Y/C) cliffs, very beautiful and includes a scenic forest in the distance too! You’ll love it I promise!” I called out while locking my car and quickly slipping my hand in his. This felt like a date at this point. We went up to the railing and felt his torso shake. “Hoseok what’s the matter?” I looked over at him, still hand in hand.
“Did I ever tell you or did you ever find out that, I have a fear of heights?” He nervously admitted as he backed away from the railing. I quickly wrapped my arms around him and rested my chin on his shoulder. “That’s okay! If we stand back and focus on the horizon, it’s for sure beautiful!” I recommended as I made him take a couple steps back. I saw his pupils gaze out into the open with a smile. “See! Breathtaking right?” I asked him while squeezing his hand. He nodded and turned to me which surprised me. “Not as wonderful and kind as you have been to me through the past day. I never thought I’d find somebody who would treat me like a normal person instead of an idol and see me for who I am…” he trailed off while scooting closer to me. “Then well, is this a date?” I asked him whilst looking down as my embarrassment rose to my cheeks in the form of a blush.
“Then yeah, I guess it is (Y/N), and I wouldn’t regret anything for the world,” he perked his lips up and wrapped his arm around me. He leaned in and I felt a small peck on the cheek as his warmth stayed next to me. I inhaled his scent just as I did the night before but this time it felt more intimate and right, I made him happy that that was all I wanted in life. “Well, I’m really glad that I made you feel so-- human I guess. You are, and you are Hoseok to me and Wonho on the stage performing your killer choreo!” I explained with enthusiasm. He chuckled as he ruffled my hair just as he did the morning before. He leaned in and kissed the side of my cheek gently and nuzzled into my neck as the autumn breeze hit us in silence.
“How about some food now?” I decided to break the silence. “Ramyun sound good to you?” I added with a wink, knowing his food preferences. He gazed into my eyes with furrowed brows and laughed, “You already know me so well (Y/N).”
