"The director is releasing the trailer in a couple of days. Brandon wants you to watch it before It comes out"

Sooyung, my assistant tells me before handing me her iPad, on the screen was the promotional poster for "The Bodyguard".

I smiled before pressing play, I literally have been dying to see this.

The screen switched to me, walking to the bus stop when suddenly out of now where people started screaming and running pass me causing me to be alarmed.

The screen switched to another scene where I was running from men trying to kill me.

The scene switched to Minho saving me causing unexpected chemistry between us already.

Minho dialogue while loading a gun. This trailer was misleading but in a good way.

The song call the shots by Leslie Grace played in the background. As scenes switched to where he was training me, teaching me out to shoot guns.

There was a scene where I was crying uncontrollably in the rain. I remember getting sick after having to film this scene so many times.

There was another scene of me fighting my way out of a hallway, flipping over a guard looking completely sexy while doing so.

The screen switched to see Minho and I were inches away from kissing. He held me breathing heavily as we struggled to fight back to temptation.

He warns me.

I tell him.

The scene switched to Minho and I standing near the edge of a tall building, breathing heavily whilst looking back at the door.

I nod.

The screen went black.

Then a scene of where Minho and I were smiling at each other, more so him fixated looking at me as I smiled at the distance.

The music got louder and the scene switched the action in packed scene where Minho and I was driving in a expensive race car, you know the ones fast and furious use trying to get away from bad guys.

Minho yells as my eyes widen before screaming loudly.

The screen zoomed out to see Minho and I in a car that was now nose diving off of a cliff and into a water.

I was cut off when the screen went black.

I turned to Sooyoung who smiled looking at me, "so? Thoughts?" She asked.

"It was amazing" I tell her and she nods.

-

I waved quickly to the fans screaming and taking my photo as I walked down the line of airport security guarding me.

"Normani, we love you!!"

"NORMANI!"

"Over here!"

"Is it true that NORJOON is a thing again!"

"when's the movie coming out"

"I love you!"

"You're so pretty!"

I smiled, hiding behind my shades as I exited the large doors of the airport as the cold korea air hit my lungs.

I'm finally back to a place a can call home after spending almost two weeks in and out of Canada and Korea to film the bodyguard with Minho.

We were officially finished filming, all there was now was interviews and award show appearances with Minho.

I approached the van, surrounded by both my devoted fans and many security guards. I entered the van and followed behind me was Sooyoung.

"what's on the schedule?" I asked her before removing my glasses. She opens her bag and hands me a folder of activities I have to do until my album release.

"Today is just a free day until tomorrow morning at 4, where you have to go to Busan to appear on an episode of Running Man, it's a popular comedian show where you compete against others to complete a mission" she pauses as the van takes off.

I flip the pages, listening to her as we exit the car pool of the airport.

"The shooting ends around 3 in the afternoon and at 5, you have a photoshoot with Minho for promotional photos for the bodyguard" she finishes.

"Another one?"

"Yes, Brandon said that this movie would be bigger then anything you starred in before" she explains.

I nod understanding.

"Oh.. I forgot to mention there is also a Big Three party event that the members of BTS were invited too" she informs me causing me to close the folder and look at her.

"Big Three?" I asked unaware of that term.

"Big Three... as in JYP, YG and SM?" She asks.

Oh.

"Artists from those exact companies will be there, it's just an event to make emends with everyone" she tells me.

"Are the boys going?" I asked her, the main question, especially since I haven't seen the boys in about a few weeks since I've been nonstop in America, China and Canada.

Specially Joon. Things between him and I have been very complicated. One moment we're together and the not we're not.

And I don't know how to feel or think or anything about what him and I are. I miss us. I can't help thinking we deserve another shot or chance at love.

We deserve something, anything better then last time. But how am I supposed to tell him that when I don't have a clue what he's thinking.

Especially when I was the one who suggested we should just be friends with benefits.

"Yes"

I nod taking that information.

"Would you also like you attend tonight?" She asks me.

"Yes. Book appointment for both my hair and nails, please. Also find something for me to wear tonight. I have to make some type of statement, since it's been a while since I seen everyone" I tell her, she pulls out her phone quickly.

-

I slowly entered the building where korean music displayed loudly, knowing me I was about an hour late.

I swallowed approaching the large doors were the event was being held.

I was about to open the door when a voice caught my attention.

"Normani!" I hear my name being called causing me to turn and face the direction.

There stood a tall pretty girl, behind her was four other pretty girls who were much shorter than her.

" wa ,jinjja yeppeuda ije naneun modeun salamdeul-i museun mal-eulhaneunji bonda" One says looking at me up and down.

Translation: "wow, you're so pretty. Now I see what everyone was talking about"

I slightly smiled as they approached me.

"sorry, did she scare you? Joy doesn't know how contain herself sometimes" one of the girls said smiling.

Oh. Red Velvet.

"Girls"

"hana du se... annyeonghaseyo ulineun ledeu belbes" the five girls lined up before bowing and introducing themselves to me.

I smiled, "hello, I'm Normani" I say greeting bad.

"I think everyone already knows who you are, I'm just so happy that I— I mean we finally get to meet you. I'm Wendy" she says smiling.

"I'm Irene"

"I'm Yeri"

"I'm Selugi"

"And I'm Joy"

I nod smiling.

"So I guess I'll see you inside?" Selugi asks me causing me to nod, they past me and walk into the loud room.

See that wasn't so bad, or awful. Mingling and talking to strangers and getting to know them.

I swallowed hard before entering the room only moments after the members of Red Velvet did.

This party was unlike any party or event I ever attended. For starters, there were a lot more people then expected. Multiple artists from just three companies, the only group I really wanted to look for the most was mine.

My eyes wandered the room as I stood in one spot looking for my members or at least one of them.

I couldn't help but notice all of the attention turn on me. Causing me to stop looking for my members and realize that I was now the center of attention.

Artists from NCT, Mamamoo, IKON, Twice, BlackPink, EXO, Girls Generation, Super Junior, and of course GOT7.

My eyes couldn't help but wander on the one member I was so much familiar with myself, BamBam.

He stood between JB and Jackson looking at me, causing me to quickly look away. I smiled smiled before nodding as they looked at me, a few nodded back.

Last time I spoke to BamBam? Hours before me announcing my Hiatus. Even when I was he didn't call or anything, which was okay because it wasn't like I was expecting him to.

I just wish we didn't have to end things the way we did. Bam's a good person, and the way I treated him as a second choice... wasn't fair... to him... or to his members.

I then watched as heads turn to look behind me, causing me to slowly turn. My heart felt relieved to notice my members were finally arriving.

I exhaled softly, "just when we expected you to be later then we were" Yoongi smirks looking at me.

"I told you we should've taken the same car" JungKook mumbles, walking inside with Jimin and Taehyung near him.

"Look how late we are" Jin complains being his usually self talking to Hoseok. And finally, the one I wanted to see the most, Joon walked into the room, smiling with eyes wandering before landing on me.

Took them long enough.

Joon approached me, breaking eye contact with me. He stood next to me in front of everyone watching or at least pretending too.

I felt relieved he was here. Next to me. Like he always was, always wanted to be.

"Sorry, we were late" he says looking around.

It was as if he was trying not to make it obvious that him and I were still kinda, kinda not together.

"V!!!" I hear Suho yell out breaking the awkward tension, greeting my members.

Followed behind him was Lay, Minho, Mark (NCT) and Jaehyun.

"hey, big movie star" lay jokes.

"oh come on... you know I'm not that big" I smiled greeting him as he pulled me into a hug, I hugged him back making distance from my members.

I broke the hug turning to Minho, Mark and Jaehyun, who I wasn't quite comfortable with yet but I only met them once.

I nodded greeting them smiling softly.

"How've you been?" Mark asks making conversation.

"Good. Good as can be"

"I heard your movie is coming out in April? You excited?" Minho asks.

"Of course.. I've been dying for everyone to finally see why I've been so M.I.A" I say.

"Didn't the trailer— Mark cut Jaehyun off.

"Yes. Oh my gosh. I saw the teaser trailer for your this morning and it was so amazing" Jaehyun compliments me causing me to smile softly.

Unsure how to say thank you without actually saying thank you.

"I film one movie with her and she goes off and go big screen with Lee Minho" Lay jokes causing me nudge him and laugh slightly.

Mark says something to Lay causing me to quickly turn and glance over to Joon who himself was busy talking to a few members of Twice.

I was brought out my thoughts when Lay caught my attention.

"I want to introduce to some people" he says grabbing my hand and pulling towards a table near the corner of the room.

"I-it was nice to meet you...again" I say quickly nodding to Minho, Mark and Jaehyun, as Lay pulled me away.

We approached the table and sitting down listening to the music was a few members of Super Junior.

"Hyung" Lay says catching one of their attention causing one to turn and look at me.

He stands up almost immediately, "Normani!"

Heechul said smiling widely causing his other members to turn and notice me.

I smile.

"I'm sure you guys already know who this is" Lay says looking continuously back and forth between SUJU and I.

"How could we not... Motivation! LOVE LIES! Waves! You come in w-w-wav-wavessss" Siwon began to sing and do my signature move to the song causing me to smile and clap.

"Me? What about... sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry..." I trailed off doing the dance and completely embarrassing myself causing them to laugh and smile at me.

"Awee... she's so cute!" Heechul says embracing me by pulling me into a hug.

My eyes widen in shock and confusion, hugging him back.

"Heechul, let her go" Leeteuk tells him causing to release me. Heechul lets out a awkward laugh before turning back to me.

"Sorry about that... Heechul's always been a touchy person" Siwon explains.

"Ooh, I know"

I joked, I mean how could I forget when that's all does on variety shows he stars in.

"oh... I forgot to introduce myself" I trailed off about to bow when I was stopped.

"It's okay. We know who you are, Normani Kordei... a young legend in the making. Your name has been everywhere ever since you arrived in Korea. You're like the Beyonce of Korea" Dong-Hae tells me causing my eyes to widen.

I shook my head before slightly smiling, "no... no.. I could never be... I still have a long way to go" I say.

"I'll be back" Lay tells me causing me to nod.

Heechul wraps his arm around my shoulder, getting comfortable right away, pulling me down to sit at their table.

"So when are you going to come on knowing brothers?" He asks me before removing his arm from around my shoulder.

"I don't know when are the members of knowing brothers going to invite me?" I asked making conversation.

"Ohhh I like you. You know how to make conversations interesting" Heechul says.

"Aish... were at a party and of course he wasn't to promote himself" Dong-Hae says causing me to smile.

"Here" a voice brings me away from the conversation causing me to turn to see someone I was close with Seung-hyun aka T.O.P holding a cup.

Most likely of alcohol.

I stood up smiling, confused on how he was even here.

I took the cup out his hand before embracing him into a hug causing him to hug me back.

"hey!!" I say smiling widely.

I haven't seen him since before my hiatus, even months before then. We parted,

"h-h... where have you been? Last time I saw you, you were going to the military... and that's it" I say asking him.

"What about you? I come back and found out you went back to America. What was that all about?" He asks causing me to nudge him.

"let's compare to see who left the longest... I bet you'll win" I smirked.

"Oh, how I missed your humor" he smiles at me.

"Choi!" Leeteek shouts announcing t.o.p before pulling him into a hug. I took a couple of sips of the drink multiple times and let the liquor get to me.

I was to sot down when Joy approached me causing me to smile. I arched my brows watching her reach out for my hand.

"dance with me" she smiles widely.

"d-dance?" I asked looking at both her and SUJU.

I really wasn't in the mood to dance. But I was never the one to turn down a dancing opportunity.

She nods, "I-I don't know this song" I make a quick excuse.

"But you'll know the next one" she says smiling.

"Oh. I don't know" I hesitated.

"Come on!!" Heechul says pushing me towards Joy, I sighed before forcing a smile as she dragged me to the empty dance floor.

The idols were either talking or drinking, no one and I mean no one was dancing.

Joy let's me go and smile widely, before looking over to the DJ booth, and nodded. Suddenly the music stopped and another very familiar song came on.

"It was getting boring, don't you think?" She asks me.

"Yeah.... but..." I trailed off hearing my song.

Oh my god. She did not.

I covered my face hiding both my smiling and embarrassment. "Oh god" I say trying to act shy.

"You have to now!" She shouts smiling at me. I look up to see my members not so far from me turn and look and me after hearing my song.

The trumpets on the song began, causing everyone to turn and look over at Joy and I.

"GIVE IT TO ME IM WORTH IT!"

The song blasted through the speakers on the room as I slowly moved my body to beat causing all eyes to be me and joy.

I began to run my hands up and down on my body as the song began. I moved my hips back and forth.

"COME AND SHOW ME THAT YOU WITH IT, WITH IT, WITH IT!"

Joy lip sync pointing at me as I pretended to twerk. Her and I dancing causing idols to look at us.

I watch as Yeri pulled out her phone and began recording Joy and I, as me and her dance together.

The verse was about to start causing me to walk to nearest person by the dance floor which happened to be Johnny from NCT.

I pointed at him, motioning that I wanted him to dance with me, he smiled looking his members before turning to me.

"Just gimme you, just gimme you

Just gimme you, that's all I wanna do" I sang before slowly walking back to the dance floor and followed me.

He then placed his hands out in front of him before popping his butt, basically pretending to twerk causing me to laugh as idols began to clap to the music.

My part came on and more idols joined the dance floor, including Heechul.

"Uh huh you see me in the spot like

"Ooh I love your style"

Uh huh show me what you got

'Cause I don't wanna waste my time" he said going to the ground, slowly and sexually causing others to laugh at the comedian he was.

I joined him squatting down before getting up to dance to the chorus.

"GIVE IT TO ME IM WORTH.. UH HUH IM WORTH IT" I sang, dancing the choreo I remember from so long ago.

Eventually more idols began to join the dance floor. I felt more relaxed the more I danced, it was like all of my stress was going away.

I glanced up to see Joon himself staring at me, and it was like everyone else in the room was dancing or moving, and only him and I stood there.

Looking at each other from a far. In a room crowded of familiar faces, the only one I recognized the most was his.

I watch as he was about to approach me when Yoongi grabbed his arm, causing me to turn back to the dance floor.

The song itself was finally over. After the dance I finally had a chance to go to the bathroom where I saw someone who didn't need to be seen.

I turn on the water to wash my hands when footsteps entered the bathroom. I looked up in the mirror to see two members of BlackPink.

Of course it was Lisa and Rose.

No problem with rose but lisa? Last time I was saw her, you already know that story.

Rose looks at me, and nods greeting me before turning back to lisa, who I'm pretty sure told all of her members that I tried to fight her, probably even switched the script to make it seem as if I'm the bad guy.

DUH.

I turned off the water, wiping my hands dry, making contact with Lisa who approached the mirror and wiped the corner of her mouth.

Rose went into a bathroom stall.
