The day of the first concert had finally arrived. Alex and Ji-Hoon were up early and heading to the Tokyo Dome to interview some of the staff as they made final preparations for that night. Alex loved watching all of them as they checked the lighting, checked the sound, and double checked the stage supports. So much went in to every concert and everyone involved worked in a steady flow. The makeup artists had their stations set up for when the guys would be changing outfits and needing touchups. Their personal trainer had his room ready in case there were any injuries, God forbid.

When Ji-Hoon and Alex had the footage they needed, they headed out to eat before getting ready for the concert. They decided to go to the Tokyo Sky Tree Cafe. The views were spectacular! They took selfies and posted on their Instagram accounts. Alex immediately had a notification. Yoongi had liked her photo. Her stomach did a small somersault. She thought he'd be busy preparing for that night. 

They headed back to their hotel to get ready for the concert, and made plans to meet in two hours. Ji-Hoon wanted to get to the venue after sound check was over so they could get some short interviews in of the guys before they hit the stage. Alex hopped in the shower, she was going to have to take some extra time on herself because she wanted to look good for the concert. Maybe, if she was being honest with herself, she wanted to look good for Yoongi too. She didn't know why she felt so nervous, it wasn't like she was the one about to go on stage in front of thousands of fans.

She decided on white skinny jeans with black sandals. Her top was electric purple, it scooped low in the front with thin shoulder straps. The back had straps going across, all the way down the back. She paired the outfit with gold rings and a pair of electric purple feather earring that had thin gold chains hanging between the feathers. She straightened her hair and pinned just the sides back. Her makeup was a bit more intense, the contouring on her cheeks brought out her cheekbones, and the dark smoky shadow made her hazel eyes pop. She finished it off with winged eyeliner and fake lashes. She took a turn in front of the mirror and decided she liked what she saw. 

She grabbed her phone and a small clear bag that was required for the concert. Ji-Hoon already had her recording stuff in his bag, so she headed to his room to grab him on the way down to the car. They got to the Dome and headed to the special staff entry that would lead them to the back of the stage and dressing rooms. Alex's phone vibrated. 

Yoongi

Yoongi:

Are you guys here yet?

Alex: 

Just arrived, we're heading back stage.

Yoongi:

Good, I have something for you 😁

Alex:

Oh? What is that?

Yoongi:

You'll see.

Alex put her phone away, she was very curious to see what he had for her. He seemed to constantly be keeping her on her toes. 

When they got to the dressing room, the guys were getting final touches on their hair and makeup. Their outfits were all black and in varying styles. They looked amazing in all black. Ji-Hoon pulled out his camera and handed Alex her recorder. The guys were all talking amongst them selves with a flurry of activity going on around them. People were laughing and in high spirits. The excitement in the room was palpable. 

Jungkook spotted Alex and waived to her, "Alex! You're here!"

"Yes I am, are you ready?!"

"I'm always ready. You can already hear the noise from the fans, it's the best!"

Alex went over to J-Hope who was getting lip balm applied. "Hobi, you look amazing! I'd kill for your skin."

Hobi blushed and gave her a big smile, "Maybe I'll tell you my secret one day."

"I'll hold you to that!" Alex left him and walked over to Yoongi.

He was wearing a black turtle neck with a black harness. His pants were a dull black leather that were fitted and tucked into his black boots. He looked like something she wanted to taste. "So, what is it you have for me?" Alex waited as he got up and went to a table in the room.

"This, I figured you didn't have a chance to get one before you came so I had one of the staff get one for you. Just pair it to your phone through the app. When you pick your seat choose the special code option and enter the code on the side." He handed her an ARMY bomb.

Alex was touched, she forgot all about an ARMY bomb when she was preparing for the trip. "Oh my gosh, thank you! That was so thoughtful!" She smiled at him and tucked the ARMY bomb in her bag. She looked back up at him and his cheeks had gone a little pink.

"You're very welcome." He paused for a second just looking at her. " You look really good tonight." He gave her a cocked grin. "Enjoy the show." With that he headed back to his chair so the stylist could finish his hair. 

Alex felt her stomach do a small flip as he walked away. She was quickly falling for him, and he didn't have to do anything except exist. She collected her thoughts and went on to talk to the rest of the guys before she had to head out.

When she got to her seat in front of the barricade she looked around the Dome at all of the fans. They were chanting and singing along with the music videos on screen while they waited for BTS to come out. The sound was deafening, and thrilling. It was as if BTS had never stopped performing all that time.

She made small talk with the security guard next to her. Ji-Hoon was recording fans around the stage and came over to Alex. She blocked the camera with her hand and laughed, "Why are you recording me?"

"Because you're a fan right now!" He smiled from behind the camera.

Alex raised her ARMY bomb and sang along with the music. She was enjoying herself already and the concert hadn't even started yet. She took her phone out to take a selfie with the stage behind her while she made a heart with her two fingers. She uploaded it to her Instagram with the caption "In heaven".

Suddenly the lights went down and the fans started screaming. It was show time!
