(This story is in the states, so I won't be using Korean terms. So that means writing the first name first and not using "Hyung" or "Maknae" or anything like that.)

Cheering was heard as the name was announced. The man made his way to the stage with a big smile on his face, and Mark couldn't help but be mesmerized. 'Jinyoung Park'  He was apparently very big here in the states as almost every girl in the audience was screaming their heads off. Mark understood his popularity though. He was very handsome, Mark had to agree with that. Mark had also seen movies that the other had acted in, and he definitely had talent. 

After the actor finished his speech that consisted of thanking his family, friends, the rest of his cast from his present movie, and his fans for all supporting him, he left the stage. Mark's eyes followed the man as he took a seat by his friends while he got pats on the back from all of them. 

"Mark, we have to get ready." Youngjae, his fellow bandmate said as he shook Mark out of his daze. "Oh, right, sorry." Mark quickly got up and followed s backstage. Once the door opened to the dressing room, the five men were attacked by the makeup and hair crew. "Why are you all so late!" Their manager exclaimed.

"Sorry, we wanted to see Jinyoung Park get his award," Yugyeom explained in a small voice. All of the members were fans of the actor. They always made Mark watch his movies when they had movie night, but Mark never complained. 

"Okay, whatever, just hurry and get ready." The manager sighed in defeat as the youngest jumped in delight of not getting scolded. The manager turned to Mark after they went to get ready. "It's your job as the oldest to get everyone to their spots on time. Make sure to pay attention to the time next time." The manager usually only scolded Mark or Jackson because they were the older ones. Jackson usually just brushed off the harsh words, but Mark always just wanted to please everyone, so he took the scolding pretty hard every time. "I'm sorry. It won't happen next time." Mark said feeling ashamed of himself. "It better not." Mark just sighed and went to get ready after that.

After they performed, they went back to their seats. They were all tired out from dancing their hardest trying to please their fans that filled most of the audience, but that didn't stop the younger ones and Jackson from wanting to go to the after party. Youngjae and Mark just rolled their eyes, but eventually gave in to going. 

They watched other people perform until the award show was almost over. It was the last award "Artist of the Year". They were one of the nominees along with a few more popular artists. Mark felt Youngjae nudge his hand before interlacing their fingers together. It was their tradition for all the members to hold hands when they were nominated because even if they didn't get the award, they still had each other. 

"And the award goes to...OMW!!!" Bambam and Yugyeom jumped up and hugged each other in happiness when their name was called. Mark started down the aisle to accept the award with the members following behind. He could hear the crowd screaming and his heart filled with pride. 

Mark being the oldest and sort of the leader of the group accepted the award and prepared for his speech. "Wow, we didn't expect this.....When I was growing up, I never had the chance to do what I loved. It was always school, homework, extra lessons, but when I finally begged my mom to go to dance lessons when I was...I think 14...I never thought this would be the outcome. Getting to meet these four guys next to me was the best miracle that has ever happened to me, and getting to have our fans by our side who support us and cheer us on means so much to all five of us. Thank you so much for standing beside us..." Mark wanted to say more, but his emotions got the better of him and he stepped away from the mic and he wiped his eyes. He could hear the crowd go "Awww" and he laughed behind his hand. Jackson finally stepped up and finished the speech. "I want to thank our families who let us pursue our dreams even though we could have failed. They had always kept us going in the hard times. I would also like to thank our fans for loving us, and our managers and crew for always leading and helping us. Thank you so much!" The five men embraced Mark before led him off the stage while laughing. Mark had finally stopped his tears when they sat back down.

The camera was still pointing to him and he smiled and waved. "Wow, I have never seen that guy so emotional! He usually only has a straight face on." The audience laughed at the host's words and the camera pointed back at Mark to get his reaction only to for him to show another smile. 

When the last performer finished performing the five members left the building to get to their car to head to the hotel to get a chance to rest before going to the after party.

Once the men settled into their seats and the car started to drive, the members attacked Mark into a huge group hug. "You almost made me cry, and I never cry!" Yugyeom yelled. Mark just laughed. 

"That was really sweet, Mark. You all are my miracle too." Youngjae said. Bambam just got to the point, "I can't believe you cried in front of the whole world, man." The others laughed when Mark shoved him.

"I didn't mean to get all sappy. It all just came out." Jackson laughed his loud hyena laugh. "That just makes it worse!" He said while trying to call himself down. 

Their manager, who was driving the car, spoke up. "I'm actually very proud of you Mark. That was an amazing speech, and I'm sure the CEO will be proud as well. " Mark beamed in happiness after getting the praise. Today has been a very good day so far.

**************

The five members got out of the car and headed into the building. They had already gone back to the hotel for a few minutes before the two youngest dragged them out. Now Mark was sitting at one of the tables in the corner waiting for the night to be over so he could just go lay in the warm hotel bed and go to sleep. 

"Your speech was very good. I wish mine was that heartwarming." Mark looked up and he was met by the one and only Jinyoung Park. "If you want to look like a sappy fool, then be my guest," Mark replied with a shrug. Apparently, the actor thought the remark was funny, because he threw his head back and laughed, and Mark couldn't help but smile.

Once he calmed down, he stuck his hand out," My name is Jinyoung Park." Mark took it and shook. "I know who you are, everyone here does." After saying that, Mark saw Jinyoung rub the back of his neck as he smiled nervously. "I-I guess so." He said.

Mark laughed at the sight and Jinyoung snapped his head up once he did. "You don't have to be so nervous. Here, sit down" Mark said as he gestured to a chair beside him. 

"I really like your laugh," Jinyoung said with a smile. "It doesn't really match your face though." 

Mark lifted one eyebrow in question. "Oh really." He said. "No one has ever said that to me." Jinyoung shifted his body to face Mark in his chair. "Yeah, you have a really serious expression on most of the time." Mark just laughed as he had heard that before, plenty of times. 

"You never told me your name." He stated.

"You don't know my name?" Jinyoung just shook his head. Mark was shocked. By the way Jinyoung was talking to him, he thought the man already knew who he was. "My name is Mark Tuan. I'm from the group 'OMW'. Have you ever heard of us." Jinyoung apparently thought Mark was mad so he had tried to retrace his steps. "I-I know y-your band. I j-just never knew all of the members." He tried to explain.

Mark just smiled at him. "It's okay." he tried reassuring the other. "Not everyone has to know who we are." Jinyoung visibly sighed. "That's good. I thought you were angry."

"I could tell," Mark said while chuckling. "Why are you so tense?" Jinyoung just sighed again. "I really don't know. I'm too awkward, aren't I?." 

"I wouldn't say that you are awkward. Maybe you're just stressed. Haven't you been doing a lot of movies this year? You probably just need a break or something."

"Yeah, probably," Jinyoung said. Then he looked Mark in the eye. "So what do you do in your group. I've heard a few songs, and from what I could tell tonight, your group is very popular."

"Oh..I'm a rapper." 

"Really that's cool. Can you rap something for me?" Jinyoung asked in an excited voice.

"Here?" Mark asked in disbelief. Jinyoung nodded. "Not here. That'd be too embarrassing." Jinyoung just shrugged.

"Okay then. Do you do anything else?"

"Uhh...I'm one of the lead dancers along with Yugyeom. I am also sort of the leader. That's why I did the speech, or part of it, tonight. That's really all though." Jinyoung nodded. "Which one was Yugyeom?" 

Mark laughed. "The one that had yellow hair." Jinyoung smiled. "It sounds like you really love them. Like you really cherish them. It must be nice to have such good friends with you."

"It is. They're like family to me." Mark stopped himself. "And here I am being all sappy again." Jinyoung laughed.

"Can I possibly have your phone number.  I really would like to be your friend. You're very easy to talk to, and I would like to learn more about you." Jinyoung asked nervously. 

"Sure," Mark said before taking his phone out.

The two spent the rest of the night talking until Mark's manager texted him saying they were waiting for him.

"Do you really have to go?" Jinyoung asked once he noticed Mark getting up.

"Yeah...the others are waiting for me." Jinyoung frowned. "That's too bad. I really liked talking to you."

"Me too," Mark said. "I'll text you okay, and whenever we both have a break, maybe we can meet up again." He smiled as he rested his hand on the other's shoulder. "Bye, for now." Jinyoung met his eyes. "Bye."

**************

"Why do you look so happy?" Jackson asked once he got into the car. "Nothing." He said.

"Did you meet someone?" Bambam asked getting really curious. Once they saw Mark nod, they pestered him with more questions until they got to the hotel, but Mark didn't answer any of their questions. Instead, he just smiled and he looked at his phone.

Jinyoung

-I had fun tonight! 

Mark read it a few times before replying.

Mark

-I did too! Goodnight and sleep well!

Jinyoung

-Goodnight!
