"Joon's Dia"

(Chapter 2: Winter Flower)

I had arrived. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was famous for so many things but now it was my shrine for the love we ARMY'S have for our boys: BTS. I really was here, standing in line for Namjoon's solo concert. I thanked God that Anita geared me in the right way throughout. I was able to acquire VVIP tickets for both shows. The hotel was simple yet beautiful and they did everything that they advertised in their BTS RM Package. I got all my meals which were all delicious and plus transport to and from the stadium where RM's concert was being held. If I wanted to go anywhere else I had to pay but right next to the hotel there was a fashionable mall that had everything. Down to a cinema theatre. I was in heaven. They had a strict security detail for all their guests and I was also given a safety deposit box for my important documents so I also felt very much secure.

.

I was dressed as an angel today: my daughter's list of approvals before she left to go with her father to Florida. So here I was in my lovely white shorts with a white thin-strapped top and a very light blue jacket fringed with white fluff on top. The only colour really was the image of the BT21's on the back of my jacket. I wore my white and silver sneakers which I had painted the cartoon characters on the sides. I love BT21's. They were the 'babies' of BTS as they themselves created them. My wardrobe for the next concert was the opposite as I would be dressed in mainly black. That t-shirt had the members' names printed on it: RM being in the centre. Sigh... I love BTS and I couldn't wait to see RM perform.

.

But before I took my seat, I needed to relieve myself. So there I was waiting in line to use the bathroom facilities. It was kind of long and after standing so long for BTS merch I decided to listen to some music while I was waiting. BTS of course! Duh! Once I got closer to the entrance my RM collection began to play. My favourite song from him is 'Seoul' and I swayed while the song played. I might've sang a few words because I realised the fans in front of me looked back at me and smiled. I blushed.

.

"Sorry..." I apologised cause I realised I probably was too loud. When I reached into the stall, 'Winter Flower' began to play. Gosh! I love his collaborations and this was one of my absolute favourites. So I guess being locked in the stall, sitting down on the seat, I kinda rocked the lyrics.

.

I was actually good at singing and music on the whole. Other than my regular teaching job, I would sing at small functions. Even though I wasn't a professional I was sort out by quite a few people to sing for them. I started my music ministry at church singing and playing percussion for my choir. I was quite satisfied in doing the Lord's work but then one evening during the Christmas Season, a fellow parishioner told me that she needed someone to sing for a Christmas tree lighting up for a company. I agreed and had the time of my life.

.

It was wonderful to sing and belt my heart out to traditional and secular Christmas themed songs. At the time I used to do events voluntary but this company was well known and paid me a whopping $3000 TTD. I was told it was supposed to be a $1500 payment but the boss was so pleased with my performance that he doubled the amount. I liked that. Even though I didn't need the money, it was good to be rewarded from doing an excellent job. I was thankful that people appreciated my talents and recognised my worth. I donated the additional payment to a children's home as I was able to buy toys and food items for their Christmas dinner. It always felt good to give back especially when I received much more than was allotted to me.

.

So there I was sitting down, relieving myself and singing away with Younha. I loved her voice and I learnt all the words including the Korean lyrics fluently. All the songs I loved from BTS including their solo songs I made it my business to learn the language in the lyrics. It was tough at first but once I got the hang of it, it was beautiful. As I flushed the toilet RM's verse was playing and I couldn't help but smile. His voice rocked my insides and I grinned as I walked towards the sink to wash my hands. I was so caught up in his voice and also wondering if RM was going to sing this song at the show that I didn't realise that the bathroom was empty. Except for the one person standing by the sink looking at me.
