"Doughnut" - PART 3 | TWICE x Male Reader

(THURSDAY AFTERNOON, AT THE MUSEUM)

"There's so many.", Chaeyoung said when she saw a bunch of crowd gathering in front of a stage. The two of you can see also the name of the event based on the average sized looking LED screen on the background.

"You're nervous?", you looked at her, turning your head on the side as you placed your hand on her shoulder gently.

"A little.", she shrugged, heaving a sigh. "Maybe my artwork won't be that eye-appealing compared to others. I'm thinking that they won't be impressed by it.", then she looked down on her painting covered not only in cartom but in plastic too.

"Chae, I recommend that you don't need to get affected too much by it.", you said, waving it off at her.

"Sure, it may not be that good as the others but just take it in a good way so that you can improve it next time.", you nodded at her.

"But trust me, I know many will like it. Come on, you're the Chaengcasso right?", you teasingly bumped her arm, smirking at her which is a great effect for her to laugh a little.

"What's with the brought up of the nickname?", she confusedly asked you but still keeping the smile on her face. "As if like that name is iconic and legendary to others.", she snorted.

"But for you, it is.", you said to her. "Self-encouragement. Believe in your work by remembering one thing that made you be in here today. One thing that gave you passion to do and continue something you love... like this." , you presented to her the painting she's holding.

"Wel if that's it then I would love to add another new name for me.", Chaeyoung smiled at you.

"Oh? What is it then?", you both raised your eyebrows to anticipate for her answer.

"Well actually there's one too which I think it would be better to combine it with my name.", Chaeyoung said, stroking her chin like she's thinking of something. "I really admire this person so much these days.", she placed both her hands on her chest right at where her heart beats.

"Really? What's the name?"

"L/N"

"U-uhm... I d-don't know but I'm starting to like Michelangelo too. I-I watched his artworks and his biography in YouTube weeks ago.", she said, scratching her nape while bowing her head as she looks away at you, hiding her blush not because of what she said verbally but what's in her head instead.

She sighed too as she felt disappointed in herself because she was saving her biggest hint of confession to you on her artwork reveal and she nearly ruined it by her being so freaking whipped at you.

After she said it, you nodded interestingly by pouting your lips too while doing the action. Right at the moment, you two along with the rest of the people inside the museum; heard an announcement coming from the voice behind the speakers that all contestants should head backstage as the event is about to start.

"Cmon, the show's about to start. Goodluck up there! Win or lose, you're still the winner for me.", you said to her, grasping both her shoulders as you made her look intently at you.

"O-kay. Wish me l-luck, Y/N!", Chaeyoung said as she slowly nod at you while stuttering. You just gave her a smile as she starts to walk away from you and patting her back one last time.

"You can do this, cub.", you shouted from her back.

You saw her rubbing her cheeks from behind but unbeknowgst to you, Chaeyoung is doing that to remove the overly blush she's having because of that too close of a contact between your faces.

(30 minutes later)

You are now sitting in your seat in the middle area of the audience, just finished watching the introduction of the contestant who just left the stage. You remembered that Chaeyoung will appear at #8 spot and since that the previous contestant is #7, you became excited to see your friend finally face the crowd and flex the art she made.

The host finally encouraged Chaeyoung to come out, which she followed. The small woman with black long hair tied in pigtails slowly walked to the center of the stage. You and her had an eye contact, giving her a thumbs up and a huge smile. Chaeyoung can't help but to melt and gain even more courage to do this.

"Please state your name and describe to us the artwork you will present.", the host said.

Chaeyoung grabbed the microphone from him and she starts to speak, facing the audience including you. She removed the cloth covering her painting, revealing it's design that made you stunned in your place.

Jaw dropped, eyes wide open, eyebrows all raised up. Your heart starts to beat up abnormally, feeling super touched at what your friend just did.

"Hi everyone, I am Son Chaeyoung, 23 years old. My artwork is called "My Only Man".

As you can see in my painting, I used surrealism style to paint a face of a man. It actually belongs to my one and only male bestfriend. Actually he's right here today in the event to support me.", she pointed you from the crowd and all the people looked at you amazingly. You got a bit embarassed as she literally took everyone's attention, and she even made you too do it.

I chose him as the subject of my work, which I could proudly say that it is a masterpiece of mine because he acually is. Because I want to show everyone how proud and how I cherish my f-friend with all my heart that I can brag about him and I thought that... I should do it right here today by putting him on something that matches him as a person.

My purpose of using surrealism style because that's like what I feel when I'm with him. With such a no fun girl like me, it feels like i'm still dreaming that I had a friend like him and after having him in my life, it makes me don't want to wake up instead from this dream.

His personality and painting has some common thing with each other for me. They're both beautiful, colorful, fun to spend my time at and it made me f-fell in love with too.", she gave you a look and the crowd teased you by doing these sounds that implying she just expressed her love to you... but to you though knowing how dense your head is, it doesn't mean like that so you just gave them an awkward smile and a chuckle.

"So yeah, I hope you all understand my story and I hope you all liked my work. Thank you!", the crowd gave Chaeyoung a huge round of applause which you did the same too. She returned back the microphone at the host as she heads back to the backstage, giving you one last glance and a smile.

"Is it really something else?", you muttered to yourself after rewinding back the part of Chaeyoung's speech where the crowd made you super shy at their teasing.

(30 MINUTES LATER)
"And now, the contestant who won the first place for our Art Gallery Entry event is...

Contestant number 8, Ms. Son Chaeyoung!!!", her eyes popped and covered her gaping mouth quickly in shock. You stood up from your seat, showing your happiness at her victory by raising both of your fists and clapped harder for her.

She will receive a cash amount of 500, 000 won and a trophy plus as an additional reward, her artwork will be featured here in the art gallery of champions section of the museum! Please, come here in front and receive your award.", then Chaeyoung slowly heads back at the center of the stage as the judges and the host gave her the trophy and the paycheck before taking a group picture.

(3 minutes later)
"Y/N!!!! I DID IT!!!", Chaeyoung ran to you and attacked you with her crushing hug while squealing in happiness.

" YEAHHH! SEE! TOLD YOU THAT YOU CAN DO IT. Congratulations!!!", you said it to her happily, close at her ears while hugging her.

"Thanks!", then she lets go of the hug, facing you with her most adorable state so far. "D-did you like what I made?", she gave you a huge grin.

"Very much.", both of you chuckled. You even muttered a huge wow before continuing. "I can't believe it. Chae... you really did that for me? That's sweet."

"Hehe... yeah. I was thinking first on what to use and then... when I remember that you're a masterpiece to me... I didn't think again twice to make you as my subject.", you can't help but to blush at Chaeyoung's heart-fluttering words.

"That's a bit over with the masterpiece hehe.", you said in disbelief, raising and lowering your eyebrows fast. "But I'm really touched, Chae. Seriously. You're one of a kind friend, you know that?", she heard the word that makes her hurt much by the reality, slowly lowering her smile but forcing it not to form into a frown.

But she can't let this still within her anymore. So she decided to do her main agenda for today by finally confessing to you in a clear way.

" I a-am but you listened to what I said there right? "

"I do. "

"So do you now know how much I-"

Chaeyoung got interrupted when a man wearing a nice formal attire with an ID wrapped around his neck and an eyeglass approached her from the side. "Hello, Ms. Son. Sorry to interrupt but..can we have your time to spare for a while?We just need to have your interview for this event's documentary, if that's okay to you.", the journalist kindly asked your friend.

"S-sure. It's fine to me.", Chaeyoung nods which made the journalist smile in success. "Y/N, I'll be back for a sec, okay?"

"Take your time, Chae.", you nodded at her and she starts to walk away from you, a bit irritated that she was already near at it but that stopped unexpectedly instead.
