Hoku’s POV….

Jiyong won Best Male Solo Artist, I about cried from the side lines as he walked out now dressed in a new pair of clothes and hat . He gave his thank you speech before he was escorted backstage.

“I wonder what’s up with all the secrecy.” I whispered over to Selena and Steph who shrugged.

“I’m a little scared to be honest.” Steph whispered causing me to laugh and nod in agreement. Before any of us even blinked a man dressed in an all-white suit while wearing a joker mask. I flinched in surprise when I noticed he was looking over my shoulder the entire time.

“Do you mind?” I asked annoyed stepping closer to Steph as he looked me up and down before walking over to stand next to Selena.

“I have a boyfriend, best if you back off.” She said calmly smiling at the man who shrugged acting if he kissed her cheek before walking away.

“I outta kick his …….’ Selena started standing off her chair before I grabbed her arm to stop her.

“Billions of eyes watching.” I reminded her smiling at a few before sitting her back down.

“Wonder who the creep was.’ Stephanie mentioned as I shrugged before watching as they began setting up something on stage.

‘Oh, next number already.” I mentioned surprise as I grabbed my camera and walked over to start taking picture of the set up.

“Tyra main stage, Eden extended stage, performance up next.” I said quickly into the mic taking pictures of the giant skull being set up in the middle of stage.

“Is it Psy oppa?” I whispered looking over to see that he wasn’t sitting there anymore, but a skull, no.  All the artist were relaxing while the next group was beginning to set up, I turned to the artists taking a few photos before Stephanie and Selena walked over to me.

“You should ask them to take a picture with them.” Selena whispered noticing my stare as I quickly looked away innocent.

“What?” I asked outraged in a whisper before she snorted pushing past us towards SHINee who were ironically sitting in the front row.

“Oh my god.” I whispered embarrassed turning away from them quickly to take photos of the stage again, not like I needed it, we had ton. An arm pulled me back as I stumbled into something hard only to turn around and see that it Taemin. My eyes shot open while a huge blush crossed my cheeks, quickly I pulled away and bowed glaring over to Selena who was now smirking with my camera.

“You….” I started before she smiled.

“Alright, get closer.” She called as I felt the SHINee members crowd around me before I forced a smile on. She took the picture along with one for Steph before I bowed in thanks before pulling the two girls away.

“I can’t believe you did that.” I whined over to Selena who passed me the camera snorting.

“It’s the least I can do for you coming to Ohio for me.” She whispered taking her seat before I smirked proudly. I was happy of course, but I was beyond embarrassed at the same time.
Quickly the lights began to dim as I walked over to the corner of the artist area where it met with the main stage. I stood as close to the stage as I could to be out of the way of the other cameras and artists view as I began taking pictures of weird men dressed in black outfits on stilts walking out with women on leashes.

“Oh? .” I pointed out before laughing at my own joke.

“Keep you mind where it belongs.” Tyra’s voice spoke into my earpiece before I snorted.

“Oh please, you all were thinking the same thing, especially you Tyra.” I mentioned taking more photos of the opening before the lights flashed and began playing a familiar tune.
“Crayon?”I whispered in realization pulling the camera down to watch in shock as the skull began to pull apart with the sound of Jiyong’s voice before his voice was tweaked to something deeper.

“What the heck?” I whispered as the lights flashed again showing a hooded man now walking out with a deep voice saying Jiyong’s part.

“I’m the T.O.P.” The voice said as the lights cut then flashed back on showing Top oppa in an all pink outfit from head to toe. I was flabbergasted and starstruck before I laughed at the color.

“That’s why he said to wear pink.” I mentioned into the mic  before realizing that it probably meant the same for all of us, this was going to be interesting. Top oppa rapped freestyle before pointing out to the extended stage where Daesung was set up to sing the next part. I ran through the security area to the front where I took as many photos of Daesung in his getup as possible, then headed back to where Selena and Steph were dancing now in the artist area. Taeyang then came out next as I heard a high pitch squeal in my ear.

“Eden’s dying on the other end.” I said into Selena’s ear as she laughed before shaking her head. I couldn’t help it anymore, I had to dance with the girls. Taeyang came down to us and began dancing for us before that same strange creeper with the joker mask walked out towards us and pointed out Selena before ripping his mask off. I quickly took a picture of him and Taeyang while they ran up on stage to the join the others.

“Omo, that was your boyfriend all along.” I teased over to her while she snorted and elbowed me. But where was Jiyong? I took photos of the guys dancing before Crayon finished entering into the intro for Fantastic Baby with Jiyong’s voice. The skull opened again and I ran over to get a picture before my heart stopped.

“Is his hair red?!” I about shouted into the mic surprised as he played the piano in front of him while saying his part. I took the photos needed as he walked out towards the stage with the fireworks going, I had to admit, I was speechless. He smirked down at me once as I took another picture before he began his part again. I stepped back a good distance from the stage before noticing Top oppa.

“Your man just needed to add his hat right?” I teased over to Tyra who snorted.

“Hey, hey, hey, you back off alright, he’s cute no matter what he wears.” She retorted causing us to laugh.

Jiyong continued his part before walking down the steps towards me. I stood there frozen as he stood right in front of me singing before kissing my forehead and running back up stage. They went through the chorus as I got as many pictures as I could before noticing that Jiyong’s red fur coat had opened showing his bare midsection to everyone. I honestly was jealous but what was I going to do, the man was a celebrity, the media basically owned his body. Top Oppa’s part came up and Tyra came running over to my side to get a better look. I just laughed at her face that seemed to be beaming in excitement while Top oppa looked down, pointing at her before winking.  The performance was amazing, no, beyond amazing, they ended with Crayon again before they were escorted backstage again. I’ve never pressed the shutter button of a camera that much in my life before, this had to be a first. I walked over to the table that was reserved for us and took a seat next to Stephanie and Selena.

“That was awesome.” Stephanie mentioned as I nodded.

“Wouldn’t expect anything less from them.” I mentioned sipping the glass of water that was sitting there. The members came out finally taking their seats next to Psy and Epik High, Jiyong kept turning to me as I walked back and forth in front of them, taking pictures before he grabbed my hand to stop me. I looked over before kneeling down to his height.

“What?” I whispered before he pulled off his glasses and looked at me concerned.

“Relax, calm down.” He said as I smiled patting his hand before standing up.

“I will, when this is all done.” I mentioned before he sighed and let go of my hand. Psy oppa performed Gangnam Style, I made sure to take a ton of photos of the guys in the artist area dancing to it, especially Taeyang. Psy Oppa ended up bringing home the Song of the Year awards and we were on to the last, Artist of the Year award. I was standing to the side of the artist area, nervously holding my hands together as they showed the nominees. I could also see the nervousness written across the guys faces before they finally announced it.

“And the winner of this years Mama’s Artist of the Year award goes to………………..BIG BANG!” Jackie Chan announced as I almost lost feeling in my legs from the surprise. I put a hand over my mouth in shock, trying to keep in my happy tears while the guys stood up. Jiyong looked over to me and immediately ran over to pull me into a hug. I laughed into his shoulder through tears noticing the cameras around us before he put me down.

“I love you.” He whispered kissing me on my lips before I pushed him off to join the others that were waiting for him. I grabbed my camera and made my way through security to the extended stage where Eden and Tyra were filming from. I took tons of pictures including a photo of Jiyong blowing me a kiss. The awards ended with a blast, Mr. Kim took the cameras from us before the members walked over and walked with us backstage.

“I want to meet EXO. “ I heard Tyra whine with Top who looked so jealous it could kill.

“Omo, it’s Block B.” I whispered over to Stephanie elbowing her before pointing over before we both squealed. Relationship or not, we are entitled to fangirling. Zico looked our way before Steph about passed out.

“Come on, let’s go.” I said grabbing her hand and pulling her away from Daesung’s arm before we walked over to them.

“Excuse me?” I called out as the group turned to us before looking to me surprised.

“We’re really big fans of yours.” I announced as their eyes shot open.

“You’re Jiyong-ssi’s girlfriend, right?” P.O. asked as Steph squealed in my arm, believe me, I wanted to do the same thing but I didn’t want to come off as crazy.

“Ah yes I’m Hoku, this is Stephanie, she’s a friend of ours too.” I introduced before we bowed.

“We actually came over to ask if we could have a picture with you all?” I asked holding my camera out as they nodded. I grabbed a random employee asked her to take a picture before we walked over to stand between the group.

“1, 2,3.” She took the picture before we turned to them and bowed in thanks. I walked over to grab my camera while we both just gleamed at the photo like the holy grail.

“I want a copy of that.” Stephanie mentioned before we heard someone clear their throat. Looking up to see Daesung and Jiyong just staring at us speechless, we looked to each other confused and then back to them.

“What?” I asked as Jiyong hissed through his teeth before walking over and wrapping his arm tightly around my waist. No idea what happened, but it was time for the after party.
