I asked Manager H if we could all go to the Baha'i temple in Wilmette, by Lake Michigan on the morning of D2. I intended to give everyone a moment of peace and reflection, allowing them to disconnect from everything for just a moment at least. He thought it was a good idea, so they organized the visit there, and we left first thing in the morning.
Once we got there, I briefly explained the Baha'i philosophy and religion and asked them that, once inside, they should try to let go of their thoughts and simply embrace the calmness that they could feel standing under the dome.
When we were there we all stood in a circle holding hands, I was standing in front of Yoongi as I guided everybody through the 4-7-8 breathing exercises we did in our mindfulness sessions. I could see their faces relaxing, gently smiling, and taking in the moment.
We all know that Yoongi isn't religious, but when we did the exercise I noticed such ease in his face; he had his eyes closed, his breathing was flowing through his body, and his face was glowing peacefully. When he opened his eyes he caught me looking at him; he had a small tear forming around his left eye, but he didn't care it showed, he just gave me such a beautiful smile that made me fall even more for him, for his beautiful soul.
After the visit to the temple, we left in different groups according to our afternoon schedules. Yoongi and I went with the band shopping since it was still before noon, and he suggested spending the rest of the day out until it was time we needed to get to the venue. They all wanted to check out some instruments and sound equipment, and I wanted a new MacBook and iPad. Of course, I didn't get enough of the teasing because of my Apple preference over Samsung or any other brand, but... I did get my devices, so...HA!!
It was nice to hang out with the band, Yoongi and I could be ourselves without pretending; they did tease us from time to time, mostly teasing Suga, and that was pretty fun! But now it was time to get to the venue for the next concert.
We got back to the hotel around midnight right after the concert, had a drink with the band at the bar, and headed to our rooms. Yoongi asked me if I could please stay with him that night, too. I agreed to this, I also wanted some alone time with him, my body was also asking me for it.
