One In A Million | TWICE x Original Male Character

[18] The Celebrity Treatment

*3rd Person POV*

Even after a couple of minutes, the group hug still continued, with all of the members spewing out praise after praise. While you appreciated the hugging, this one was starting to hurt.

"Erm... G-girls... Girls! I-I can't- breathe-" Y/N managed to say out loud. Unfortunately, that request fell on deaf ears, since no one looked like they were breaking the hug any time soon. Thankfully, his knights in shining armour appeared and saved him from his possible demise.

"Congratulations! Congratulations!" The concert staff and other managers piled into the green room where the group hug with the members and Y/N finally broke apart the several-minute hug. In the staff's hands, everyone held something, ranging from a cake, snacking food, or celebratory balloons to decorate the room and turn it into a party room.

"Woah! Look at that cake!" Dahyun, Sana, and Momo shouted happily.

"Th-thank you..." Y/N wheezed out as he was huddled over trying to regain his breath.

"Congrats on a great show everyone!" Both of the managers announced, holding out the cakes with lit candles.

"Haha! Come on, let's celebrate!" JYP entered the room, setting off party poppers in his hands.

"Here Y/N, I think you need this." Pinky-oppa patted Y/N's back as he handed him a bottle of soju.

With the chaos having started properly, everyone got comfortable and stuck in on the celebrations by tucking into the food. Very shortly after, JYP had to leave to attend something, not before making a show out of the scene as per usual.

Because he was still around at the beginning, everybody was as close to being on their best behaviour. But now that everyone's boss was out of the picture, everyone slowly let loose, properly tucking into the alcohol on offer, with a couple of the members joining in on the soju party, starting with a certain unnie of the group.

"Yea-hah! Par-tay time!" Nayeon screamed, grabbing a bottle of soju of her own.

"Unnie, are you sure about that?" Dahyun asked in concern.

"It'll be fine!" She returned loudly, uncapping the bottle and pouring herself a glass.

And about 15 minutes later, everyone was either happily eating or drinking now that they were free to do what they wanted. Well, everyone apart from one person.

"Hey, hey... Look over there..." Tzuyu pointed towards one of the chairs in the corner where Y/N had gone off to, now asleep under one of the blankets in the room, almost in the fetal position. And on the table in front of him was the same bottle of soju he was given earlier but with the cap still sealed.

"Aww, he didn't drink it..." Nayeon said sadly, holding her almost-empty glass.

"He was busy these last few days." Pinky-oppa murmured.

"And he looked so nervous before going out onto stage, I'm not surprised he's out cold already." One of the stage techs observed.

"Eh, let's just leave him be. I can wake him up once we leave." Jeongyeon told everyone, letting them get back to their party.

Eventually, everyone returned to their party, now at a little bit more of a subdued volume. Throughout the night, people would check in on Y/N to make sure he was alright, but he remained in his sleepy state regardless of who or what happened around him. And once it came time to go, Jihyo walked over to wake him up to go home.

"W-wait wait wait!" Sana whisper-shouted, stopping her in her tracks and getting the attention of everyone in the room.

"What?" Jihyo asked.
