^ performance outfit

The boys will not like this. You thought as your stylist handed your outfits for the Golden Disk Awards. The dress for the red carpet seemed fine, but the performance outfit showed too much skin for your liking.

Despite the issues you had, you sucked them in, trying them on for the last fitting. "Since your legs are long, shall I make the shorts a bit longer? And add some lace netting sleeves?" You nodded as quickly as you could at your stylist's words, making her chuckle.

Within an hour, the adjustments were made, and you were just slightly happier with the performance outfit you had. It was better than the one we started out with, so I guess it's fine. You tried convincing yourself, praying that the boys won't find your outfit before the performance.

You hid yourself in the back at the red carpet interview, wanting the cameras to capture all of your members. Realising what you were doing, Hyunsuk pulled you up front, but you quickly crouched, awkwardly trying to get out of the frame.

Junghwan followed your lead and squatted next to you, with Haruto doing the same beside you. Feeling a slight cramp, you rested one knee on the carpet and raised the other knee, fumbling with your dress to cover the side of your leg.

As smoothly as he could, Haruto placed his hand over your knee as he touched Junghwan's thigh, covering the exposed side of your dress from the camera.

You smiled to yourself, already imagining the clips all over Twitter about Haruto's gentlemanliness going viral. You showed various hearts to the camera, blowing kisses to your fans that were watching.

Feeling a tap on your shoulder, you turned around, seeing Mashiho hand you the mic. "Oh, me?" You widened your eyes, startled at the sudden attention.

"Is there anything you'd like to say to your international fans, Eunbyul-ssi?" The MC asked, politely smiling at you.

"Well, I hope all our TEUMES are doing well and are healthy. I'd like to thank all of you for the immense love and support we receive from you guys, and I hope we continue to have the same support – if not more. Thank you, guys. You are our only treasure!" You spoke in English as you waved at the camera, blowing a kiss to the camera and winking.

You are the only one, TREASURE.

"No fucking way." You raised your eyebrows as you heard Hyunsuk curse, walking towards the makeup artist and sitting in front of the mirror.

The stylist started on your makeup, and you tried your best to ignore the looks you were getting from the boys, looking at only your reflection in the mirror.

"Is this a hidden camera?" Jaehyuk looked around the green room, staring at the staff for an answer. "Is that really her outfit for our stage?" He changed his question, getting nods from their manager.

"Won't you feel cold?" Doyoung pulled a stool, sitting near you as the others tried arguing with the stylists and manager from another outfit for you.

You shrugged, sighing. "I'll just have to suck it in, I guess," you spoke, controlling the movement of your lips as the makeup artist applied the lipstick.

Biting back a grin, you watched your members grumpily crowd around you after failing at the argument with the staff. Haruto frowned, walking away after taking a glance at your outfit. Hyunsuk and Yoshi tried adjusting your outfit as you got your makeup done, tugging on your clothes to make them cover more skin.

"Come on, guys. Don't be like grandpas now," you announced, getting off your seat after your makeup was done. "We are at a special award show, and special places call for special outfits, okay? Even Chaeyong eonni wore a similar outfit, and it's also glittery, which fits our concept well. Doesn't it?"

Junkyu huffed, crossing his arms over his chest. "Chaeyong noona was twenty, you are fifteen." His comment reminded you why they were worried about your outfit.

Even though it was a rare case, there were posts that overly sexualized pictures of the TREASURE members. And with the recent case of an idol's hidden camera pictures of her changing being posted on inappropriate chats, the boys were very protective over you — inspecting every room you changed in and going through the clothes you wore.

"The company will sue, don't worry," the stylist stated, brushing off the dust on Jeongwoo's suit. "It's a new company rule, something to do with the prohibition of sexualization of minors and over-sexualization of idols under YG."

"The damage would be done by then, wouldn't it?" Jihoon countered, staying still as his hair got fixed.

Asahi cleared his throat, worried by the rising tension in the room. "Let's just move on and be glad we aren't performing MMM while Hoshi is wearing that outfit, okay?" He encouraged, looks of relief going over everyone's faces at his words.

At least it's not MMM.

Doyoung enveloped you in a hug as soon as you got off stage. You appreciated the gesture, feeling the warmth of his sleeves around your bare waist. You all huddled together, congratulating everyone on the performance.

"Jules!" You turned around at your nickname, smiling as you knew who called out for you. Your newfound friend waved from the other side of the room, smiling brightly.

Jake Sim, a friend you had made during the MAMA awards, grinned as you waved back to him. "Jake oppa, hey!" You greeted back in English, your members also waving back and bowing politely, causing the other members of ENHYPEN to do the same.

"Great performance!" Jake complimented, and you bowed, thanking him. "Jay and Sunghoon really liked your outfit." The said boys turned when their names were mentioned, confusedly staring at you two.

"Really?" Jaehyuk asked, understanding the English he spoke and eyeing the boys with a slight glare while maintaining a smile on his face.

You chuckled, nudging the older. "It's a joke." You threw finger hearts at the members of ENHYPEN, making them flustered as they tried to cover their reddening faces. You turned around, stifling your laughter behind Jaehyuk, who didn't seem to be over the joke.

"Hoshi, you have to sing the piano version of I LOVE YOU for us soon! You promised us last time," Niki reminded you, making to turn to look over at him.

It was awkward, practically yelling at each other across the room because you couldn't approach each other with the given safety rules. Regardless of the situation, you conversed with them, your members also picking up conversations with the others.

"It's releasing tomorrow, you can listen to it, then!" Haruto retorted, causing everyone to laugh at the way he snapped back.

"Aw, Ruto-ya. Are you sad you lost to me in–"

"Yah! Is that the way you talk to your elders?!"

You watched the exchange between the Japanese members of each group, biting back a grin when they switched to their mother tongue to argue better. Yoshi and Mashiho stepped in, trying to calm both sides in their playful banter.

"Byul-ah, congrats!" Jeongwoo placed his coat on your shoulders, wrapping his arms around you as you turned around to hug him back.

"Congratulations, Jeongwoo oppa." You smiled, laughing when all the boys joined in on the hug, the oldest members showering the younger ones with loads of affection.

Words can never express how happy I am to be in TREASURE.
