Jackson stood along side the boys as they waited to get their tickets checked before heading to the hotel in order to  attend the Asian artist awards, that were taking place in Vietnam this year. He yawned slightly, his eyes tearing up as he did, the flight had been very short, and for that he was grateful, yet he still found that he was tired. He looked down at his phone waiting patiently to here something from Irene.

Yes, Irene was his girlfriend. Had been for three years and counting,something strong being forged between the two when they had the courtesy of mcing together. The ride from then onwards had been a hectic yet beautiful one. It was full of hit and misses yet that seemed to be the beauty of their relationship. The meetings, the messages and the calls, were somewhat  a secret from the world. Their moments hidden from the cameras yet the moment they had the chance it was as if they hadn't endured the months of separation. They were just two souls dedicated to loving each other. And it was more then either of them could ask for, and he was genuinely happy with her. Three beautiful years, with over a thousand memories painted between them. He smiled slightly as he opened his lock screen, a picture of them both at a private photoshoot displaying on his screen. He smiled, going to his contacts.

He received a message moments later.

More time togetherrrrrrrrr wooooo

He laughed slightly, the boys looking at him, leaning over his shoulder to read the message with a small chuckle as they began to take the piss out of him.  They pushed him slightly hyping him up as they walked out to the camera flashes blinding them.

This was their life. The idol life.

Jackson smoothed out his red satin blazer , raking a hand through his styled hair, before looking down to his phone, she had messaged when she had landed and he hadn't heard anything since, but he knew she was busy. He looked back in the mirror, before turning to the boys as they made way to their seats. He smiled as he caught sight of her dressed in a white dress, which was somewhat to short for his liking, paired with black leg length boots. Her hair was set straight and god he could have sworn his breath fell short. He looked down at his red suit with a smile, both of them wearing the same colours they had worn the first time round.

He caught her eye and passed her a cheeky look, her own laughter breaking out as she attempted to incase it within her hand that had flown to her mouth. She smiled warmly at him. Her eyes trailing over his form, her own heart skipping multiple beats at the mere sight of him. The satin material suited him, his broad shoulders highlighted by the blazer, with an opaque shirt underneath that left her mind with thoughts that she should not be thinking at this moment in time. His hair was slicked to perfection as usual with him and she couldn't help but smile at the colours as if some bigger universal force had planned this. Irene quickly averted her eyes with the cameras that began rolling in their direction, the crowd cheering when it zoomed in on her face. Jackson leaned forward slightly with a warm smile as he watched her ethereal face light up. She was stunning. Simply stunning.

The long evening was commenced with a series of performances, the respective two trying to engage their minds, but their thoughts seemingly had retreated back to each other, with small glances over the sea of other idols. Jackson cursed loudly for the shitty seating arrangements that placed them on opposite sides that made it virtually impossible for them to even try and look at each other. Him and the boys were rushed back stage for their performance, the music for you calling my name now playing. He snuck a cheeky glance watching as she sung along to the lyrics, and he couldn't help but continue to smile. She was perfect and god the way she was singing and dancing cutely proved that she was his. And his only. He moved back into position with his part starting, his attention fully on the camera that zoomed in as he bounced off bambam before moving onto to complete his rap. Irene smiled watching him, her eyes completely captivated by him and his stage presence that could be felt even when the camera wasn't on him. The song finished and she shot up a little too quickly in order to clap for him and the boys.

They walked past her and the girls on their way to take their seats, his eyes meeting hers for a fraction of a second as they sat down. "Moving onto the next award tonight, the bonsang of the year...and the nominees for this category are...." a string of artists were announced, Red velvet amongst them, receiving a deafening applause and chant as they moved to the next. "And the winner is...REDVELVET!" Her and the girls stood up, other artists standing out of respect to their win as they moved up stage to collect the award and deliver their speeches. Jackson saw a camera approach them and he knew he had to be careful, he leaned into Youngjae talking lightly as they turned to clap when the girls finished. "The next award this evening is the Daesang this year...can we have the nominees please..." and again the cycle repeated. "And the wiener is...GOT7!" The boys stood up clapping slightly as they shed small tears, they had finally done it. They smiled whilst addressing their fans and thanking everyone in JYP for their love and support. Jackson moved forward to translate to Chinese before moving back stage, just as the girls passed. "Congratulations!" They wished each other, mindful of the looming cameras that could pop up at any time. The girls were to be rushed on stage for the performance shortly, and as Jackson passed Irene, they grabbed for each other's hands, before they were forced to split. She turned to give him her beautiful smile and he couldn't help but smile as he looked down at the floor, the boys simultaneously teasing him as they returned to their seats just as the girls took their positions, the song Zimzalabim playing as Jackson smiled. It was a beautiful song when you listened to the lyrics and understood the meaning, and musically it was one of the most creative pieces he had heard in awhile, something that gripped everyone regardless. And as they hit the chorus, his smile grew at the way the chants of the lyrics got louder. The boys shared a laugh before returning their eyes too the girls who were slaying. With their performance complete, the two set back to relax, mindful of the hour that they had to endure for this to be wrapped up.

When they returned to the hotel, where most of the idols were staying Irene quickly changed out of her dress, before pulling his hoodie over her form and celebrating with the girls for a bit. Each of them ordering some food as they sat around laughing and joking. She looked down to her phone, taking it in her hands.

From Future Mrs Wang ❤️
Hey bub, are you okay for me to come to you?

She looked at the screen. She wanted him to have time to celebrate with his boys before she imposed on him, their first Daesang, they deserved to celebrate together.

From Future Hubby ❤️
Of course Babygirl, Mark's waiting for wends, JB is waiting for Seul, Jinyoung is waiting for Joy, Bam is waiting for Yeri and I'm waiting for you.

She smiled telling the girls as they stood up getting their respective stuff before heading towards the boys' rooms. "Make sure to get up on time..." Irene started. "Jack said they are catching the same flight so make sure to be up." The girls nodded before wishing each other goodnight before going to their respective partners.

Irene knocked gently on his door, Jackson still clad in his suit. Irene raised an eyebrow as he chuckled, "we wanted to celebrate as soon as possible..." she smiled, walking in. "You deserve it." She said, as she moved in, Jackson's eyes catching the team Wang hoodie she wore. A bright smile painted his features as she walked over to the bed crashing into his covers. He leaned down kissing her forehead as she pushed herself up to lean against the pillows, she responded back eagerly, as he parted. "Let me get changed." He said, as he began undoing his blazer, her eyes widening as she caught the opaque material, a deep blush spreading across her features. He turned to her, catching the look through the mirror. "See something you like Babygirl?" Irene laughed slightly, "Who's your stylist? I need to have words with them." He laughed slightly as she pouted. "You might as well have not worn a shirt." She whined cutely. "That can be arranged." "Yah!" She shouted causing him to laugh as he took out some clothes. "Give me five minutes." She nodded as he disappeared into the bathroom. Irene grabbed the remote to flick through the tv, nothing vaguely interesting. He emerged as promised five minutes later, in a matching team Wang hoodie and a pair of joggers. He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her closer. "I missed you." He whispered into her ear. "I missed you too." She said, angling her head to place a kiss to his luscious lips. He smiled as they continued, before leaning back to rest, their minds taking them down different conversation topics that had them laughing and joking and genuinely enjoying their time together. She let out a soft yawn. "Go to sleep Babygirl..." she shook her head. "I want to stay up with you..." she whined cutely. "We can talk some more tomorrow, after all we are on the same flight. Four extra hours with you." She smiled, interlocking their fingers as he brought it closer to graze a kiss to the back of her hand. "I love you." He said, watching the smile that broke out on her face. "I love you too." She spoke before snuggling closer to his chest, his arms wrapping around her securely. The hearts of two lovers United.

The end
