"you did a good job on everyone's hair!" juno compliments me upon seeing the boys ready for their concert. i nod in agreement, they all look crazy attractive. "there's a spot in the front we can put you in if you'd like to watch them." juno says as he waves a hand in front of my face to break the stare from the boys.

"that'd be cool, i haven't seen them perform yet." i smile at him, finally breaking my gaze from them.

"yay you're going to watch!" taehyung runs over to me. "i've been wanting you to see a performance for a while now." he smiles happily at me. i tried to smile back, i was unable to meet his gaze as i was afraid i would melt. they all looked insanely attractive, and i still have needs.

"i might as well, free front row seats!" i laugh.

"lucky for you, we're performing one of my favorite songs tonight." he winks at me causing a shiver to go through my body.

"enough flirting, let's go practice." namjoon pulls on taehyung's collar. taehyung giggles.

"alright alright, i'll see you during the show, min." he shoots me one last smile before disappearing around the corner. i let out a chuckle. i start to clean up all the tools around the station that i used on their hair.

"we should go get our spots now, before it gets too loud in there." juno informs me. i nod.

"lead the way." he laughs and motions for me to follow him.

soon enough we're in the huge stadium, our spots are right at the front of the stage, and the pit is right behind us. i just know it's going to get really loud in here. shortly after i take in the whole stadium, i hear the boys voices coming through the speakers.

"mic check." juno whispers to me. the boys can be heard doing a series of vocal warm-ups and just talking to one another about the show. this show is one of the many sold out ones, it sold out the night they announced the tour. as the time nears, fans begin filling the stadium. shrieks can be heard as the boys voices continue to come through the speakers occasionally.

within the span of thirty minutes the entire stadium became filled. you couldn't even hear yourself think. but the minute the lights dimmed, all talking stopped and it was almost deathly quiet. a tune plays loudly from the speakers as neon lights glow on the stage. loud screams heard around the entire stadium. suddenly the boys appear on the stage, walking closer to the front of it.

all the boys are waving, yelling hello's into the microphones. a few of them make eye contact with me and wave, i smile at them. as they approach the very front of the stage, they pull themselves into a position, jungkook taking the front. he meets my gaze before he puts his head down. the screams echo through the stadium again as music starts.

the boys start moving to the music and the fans begin yelling out their names to the beat.

"kim namjoon
kim seokjin
min yoongi
jung hoseok
park jimin
kim taehyung
jeon junkook
BTS!"

the boys move amazingly together it's hard to focus on just one of them. jungkook separates from the group and begins singing his part. his beautiful voice blasting through the stadium causing my heart to race and the fans to let out even louder screams. i watch as he dances through his lines and remember the time when he was worried about singing and dancing at the same time.

he's gotten so much better in a short amount of time, he was truly born for this life. suddenly, taehyung pops through the front of the group, and his rich deep voice sounds through. my eyes widen at the sound of his voice as this was my first time hearing it.

"taehyung!" i yell out in excitement. he looks down at me and smiles. i watch in awe as he effortlessly moves to the beat. jimin's familiar voice comes through next. i had heard his voice plenty of times but it was amazing to hear it in a stadium full of screaming fans. it's hard to believe only a few months back, we were together, and now here we are.

another deep voice fills the stadium, this time a rapper. i look over to see yoongi hopping around the stage, effortlessly rapping his lines. i always knew he'd make an amazing performer. the fans yelling out his lines behind me and i begin to feel genuine happiness for the boys. they've truly made it.

-

"what did you think?" juno asks as we make our way out of the crowded stadium.

"that was awesome! i've never experienced anything like that." i happily exclaim. "they're all insanely talented." he nods and we make our way backstage. the boys enter one by one, covered in sweat, they all begin to pull off layers. i quickly look away and make my way to my station and wait for instruction. i was informed that we'd be making our way to the bus once the guys get showered and into normal clothes. so i decided to get comfy in one of the chairs.

"you can go ahead and take your bags to your room on the bus. the boys won't need you for the rest of the night." juno takes a seat in a chair across from me.

"i will in a minute." i laugh. i was exhausted from standing the whole time and yelling in excitement. juno laughs as well.

-

"last one." i breathe out to myself as i finish hanging up my last shirt in the closet. i officially unpacked and moved into my little room on the bus. i lie down on the bed feeling a tiredness i wasn't aware of until just now. the warmth of the small bed causes my eyes to slowly close. just as i am about to fall asleep, the boys loudly enter the bus singing a very familiar song.

"happy birthday to you! happy birthday to you! happy birthday dear jungkook! happy birthday to you!" the boys shout cheers of joy as they finish the song. i hear jungkook laugh through the yelling. i glance at my phone to see that it's just passed midnight, september first. i debate going out there and telling him happy birthday. but as i hear the loud popping of a champagne bottle, i decide against it.
