Fortunate Falsetto (March Madness Contest)

Fortunate Falsetto

Park Jimin, one of the main vocalists for the popular K-Pop group known as BTS, hurries down the middle platform of a stage setup in Seoul, South Korea. His silvery-tinted brown hair and deep brown eyes glow under the concert lights. He's got a bright, warm smile on his face, which is full of energy.

All around him, the crowd cheers, some still behind masks that they wear. The pandemic is still alive--at a standstill really--but that doesn't stop the mandatory mask-wearing mandate. The members of BTS wear them too, except when they are singing on stage of course. After all, safety is key.

Jimin glances behind him, toward the main stage platform, where the rap line - which consists of Kim Namjoon (RM), Jung Hoseok (J-Hope) and Min Yoongi (Suga) - are still busy hyping up the crowd. They've all decided on a black and white theme for their outfits: black long-sleeve shirts with white pants and black shoes.

Jeon Jungkook (Kookie), Kim Seokjin (Jin) and Kim Taehyung (V), the other vocalists of the group are on the platform with him. For the renowned vocal line of the band, they've all combined to wear an all white themed outfit.

Jimin turns his attention back to the ground, grazing a few fingertips, before standing up. In his right hand, he clutches tightly to his microphone. He snaps the mic up to his mouth and launches out with:

"꽉 잡아 날 덮치기 전에

내 맘이 널 놓치기 전에

Say what you want

Say what you want

니가 진짜로 원하는 게 뭐야."

Boy in Luv is the song that kicks off the lineup for the latest March award's show, the Kids' Choice Awards, which courses through the back of Jimin's mind as he sings. Life Goes On will be next and then finally the grand finale of Dynamite. Dynamite, the record-breaking song from their album 'BE' and also the song that landed them a nomination on three award's shows, including the Kids' Choice Awards on Nickelodeon.

As Boy in Luv rings through the air, getting closer and closer to Jimin's high falsetto part toward the end, the electricity in the stadium reaches an ultimate high. The noise from the crowd in the building is deafening and then...

Jimin shakes his arm, getting loose in the long-sleeve white shirt and tightens his grip on his microphone and digs in deep, letting all he has in his voice hit the top of the microphone in his hand. His voice rings out in a crystal clear high tenor falsetto that pierces the boisterous fans in the crowd.

They only get louder as Jimin's voice sails into the electrified atmosphere. He is so engrossed in his vocals, his eyes closed and his mind focused, that he doesn't notice his microphone beginning to glow a bright yellow.

Suddenly an array of flowers appear and fall out of the sky overhead. They pepper the stage around him. An eerie, awkward silence follows his high note as the music and vocals all die on spot as well as the shocked crowd.

Jimin's eyes finally snap open and he sees all of the flowers around him. He swings his hand holding the microphone down to his side and blinks in shock. He bites his lip and looks around him.

RM, Suga, J-Hope, Jin, V and Kookie gasp, stepping back.

"Where'd those flowers come from?" someone in the audience pipes up.

"Jimin's high notes are so magical, that he can produce flowers from thin air, duh!" another one shouts out, before a fangirl sigh follows.

Jimin's cheeks flush bright red and he manages an awkward and stunned half smile at his friends. "I-I...didn't..."
