synopsis: nct dream is on tour in la while you’re secretly dating johnny long distance.
this is a continuation of part 1. please read it first💜
“Hurry up y/n, I want to get good seats” Your friend says waiting for you at the door to the theater.
“I don’t even think it’s going to be that packed, it’s been out for a week already”
“Maybe you’re right, but you just want to walk slow”
You take your phone out of your pocket and glance at it, waiting for a call.
“Oh! It all makes sense now you’re waiting for Johnny to call you”
“You know the time difference is so… well different! This is usually our best time. Him in the morning and me at night or the other way around.”
“Fine, you lovebirds have fun, I’m not missing the beginning” Your friend went into the theater and you soon got a facetime call from Johnny.
What are your plans for today
He laughs, I have dance practice today and then a photoshoot
I’m expecting unreleased for y/n only selfies from you
Will do, when are you going to ship me a package with you inside of it
You never know I might suprise you
She was there for our love story
Yeah she was but I get to see her more than you now, you stuck out your bottom lip
We’ll see each other soon I promise
****************************
You finished eating lunch at work with a friend and were now walking to your desk when your boss tapped you on your shoulder.
“Hi and here!” He handed you two backstage passes.
“Remember that Teen Vogue article you did on NCT 127? They loved it. They said the members seemed comfortable like they were talking to a friend.”
You smiled, “wow that is so sweet”
“So now they want you doing more kpop articles, they also said they have another opportunity for you but they want to see how you do with this one first”
You were so grateful for the acknowledgement from the company.
“So these passes are for NCT dream, they’re kind of NCT 127 but-”
“Oh good, the concert is in a few days. Do your best!”
****************************
I know I’m not going to see you or anything, but it’s nice that I can see Mark and Haechan again, and meet the others. It’ll help me miss you a bit less.
I think you’ll miss me even more, mark copies me all the time
You giggled, Is he single
Woah he doesn’t copy me that much
Johnnnn no my friend thought he was cute at the Jennifer Hudson show
Well then yes, but he’s nerdy and shy
You were very shy when you asked for my number you think i forgot?
How you were playing with my bracelet…
I just really secretly wanted it and my plan succeeded, he held his wrist up to the camera to show the bracelet
****************************
Y/f/n agreed to go along with you to the NCT dream concert. 70% of the reason being Mark was there.
“Do I look cute?” She asked you.
“You know let’s just say Mark likes you back are you prepared for that time difference”
“Y/n I just wanna hang out with him and whenever he comes back to the states he knows where to find me”
“I’m trusting you” You say walking to your seats. This time you were given floor seats, you were very close to the stage.
This girl next to you had a Johnny photocard in her phone case.
“I just remembered other girls look at Johnny and not just me” you whispered to your friend.
“Guess what, you’re the only girl he looks at”
You smiled, she was right.
“I like that picture of Johnny” you say to the girl.
“Thank you! I paid so much for it”
“Ohh right” You thought about how you get ‘special edition’ selfies from Johnny every day.
“Is it your first time seeing them?”
“No, well kinda, my friend and I saw 127 a few months ago” Your friend waved at her.
“I love 127, if you had a good time there I’m sure you will here too”
“Thanks! Who’s your favorite?”
You nodded, thinking of all the times Haechan answered your call through Johnny’s phone when he wasn’t around to pick up “good choice”
The lights went low, the show was starting, “enjoy” you said to the girl.
****************************
Around 30 minutes into the show Haechan looked down and saw you, his face lit up. You slightly smiled and looked to the side to not cause any attention, but some people in your section had noticed.
“She didn’t even have a sign and he looked at her” You heard a girl say behind you.
“Maybe she was at a fansign”
The girl next to you glanced at you quickly before looking back at the stage.
A few minutes later Haechan put his arm around Mark and led him to your section, trying to be as discreet as possible. Mark looked at you and then your friend. Then looked up and waved at the crowd, then his eyes slowly trailed back to you two. You could tell he was trying to figure out a way to say hi but you lightly shook your head to tell him don’t bother.
The girl next to you got suspicious, “does he recognize you from somewhere?”
Your friend whispered in your ear, “did you see that? his eyes lingered on me”
You chuckle, “i don’t think them putting us near the stage was a good idea”
“I don’t think teen vogue knows your Johnnys girlfriend y/n” she whispers back
****************************
At the end of the show you turn to the girl next to you, “did you love it?”
“Yes! They’re so talented”
“They are! Hey… if you could ask Haechan any question at all what would it be?”
“Um… what genre does he see himself doing as a solo artist?”
“That’s a great question”
She smiled, “well get home safe”
“You too!” You enjoyed meeting her, and you could tell she supported the boys, you wanted to give her a nice gift and get her question answered.
Once you and y/f/n gathered your things you went to the backstage area with your passes, “okay you have to be a good wing woman and somehow get them to hang out tonight”
“i’ll try but they might be tired”
While waiting to be led into the room, you saw Mark and Haechan come around the corner, “we found you guys finally!” Mark says, hugging you and then y/f/n.
“It’s nice to see you again” she says to him
“Haechan you almost blew my cover” you say to him while hugging him.
Mark quickly translates what you said and Haechan laughs.
“Can we start the interview now?”
“Yeah follow us” You start to walk behind them and notice your friend stays by the backstage entrance.
“You coming?” Mark asks her
“I’m not usually allowed in the interviews”
You nodded, she was right.
“It’s okay, we won’t tell anyone” Mark walks up to her and places his hand on her shoulder.
She giggles and starts to walk, you lightly laugh to yourself. I have to tell johnny this
****************************
“Haechan your distinct singing voice is a staple in the nct sound. Do you plan on doing any solo albums?”
After it’s translated, Haechan gets shy.
“Thank you Y/n. I really do want to do one I’m not sure when yet.”
“Great, do you know which genre?”
“I love rnb, but I would really like to do Gospel as well”
“Wow Haechan that’s great, I’m looking forward to it”
You turn to Mark, “and last but not least we have the leader. Mark, you have lived in three different countries and experienced so much at a young age. How has living in Toronto, New York, Vancouver, and Seoul influenced you?”
As he answered you glanced at your friend taking in every word.
You asked a few more group questions and you were finished.
“Thanks guys! You must be tired”
“I’m actually not.” Mark replies, then glances at your friend.
“I’m hungry” Chenle says.
“There’s a great sushi spot by here actually!”
They all agreed when they heard the word sushi, you pat yourself on the back for being a good wing woman.
****************************
It was really late and the sushi spot was almost empty, so you all decided to eat there. While watching Mark and your friend talk quietly while sitting next to each other, you started to miss Johnny.
This would be around the time you call him anyway, “ I’m calling Johnny” you say to the table.
Haechan gestures for you to give him your phone before Johnny picks up.
Hi babe how was it- Haechan?
Everyone at the table laughed
Hi but I see you everyday show me y/n
Rude Haechan hands the phone back to you
Hello love how’d you sleep
Are these boys causing you any trouble?
Well… you angle the camera to show your friend and mark in their own world
Johnny gasped, it’s happening
****************************
“Big news” your boss says to you, “check your email”
It’s been three days since the concert, and you turned in your interview to teen vogue yesterday.
You went to your email and clicked your most recent message.
“After consideration, Teen Vogue would like to personally invite you to be one of the main Journalists in our kpop division. In this job you will frequent kpop concerts and conventions, interview established and up coming artists, as well as keep an eye on any kpop breakthroughs.” You pause for a second, you still considered yourself fresh in journalism and were already getting such great opportunities.
“You will be relocated to” wait what? “You will be relocated to Seoul for 6 months, and after that we will reassess before renewing your contract. If this offer sounds like something you’re interested in please let us know.”
You slowly look at your boss.
“I told you it was big news”
“Yeah that’s, that’s huge news. A job like this isn’t even close to the income that i’m making now, I could finally start taking care of my parents, but Seoul.. that’s a big decision.”
“Well while you make the decision just stay low so there’s no reason for them to take it back”
“Please tell me you aren’t doing anything with the NCT boys or anything”
You laughed really loud, “what? what do you mean”
“It’s happened before” he shrugged
he came close to your ear, “remember when sandra worked here”
****************************
You sat on your couch, you debated telling Johnny about the job offer. Of course you wanted to see him everyday but it was a big decision. You don’t even know Korean.
You got a text from an old college friend
You raised an eyebrow and clicked on the link she sent, not thinking much of it.
“No way…” It was a tweet with 20 thousand likes.
i’m not familiar with nct but isn’t this them?
attached was a picture of you and your friend with the boys in the sushi restaurant.
You read a comment, isn’t that the same girl haechan kept looking at in the concert
