Bounded by Fate

The minute we got to the hotel, we ate some ramen and drank the cold drinks I had gotten for us before heading to Nicole's room to get ready.

"What about this?", I held up a Tshirts and some shorts.

"No, try something else", Caylynn said as she searched for her own outfit.

I nod, before rummaging through my suitcase for a simple yet comfortable outfit.

"Why don't we match in a way?", Nicole suggested, causing Caylynn and I to agree as I grabbed my outfit and got changed.

[Caylynn's outfit]:

[Nicole's]:

[Abby's]:

After getting dressed and finally satisfied with our outfits, we took a few pictures and drank some soju since we could barely contain our excitement. Grabbing my small purse, I shoved my phone inside, lip balm and mask in before we left.

The car ride to the venue was filled with excitement chatter as we gave our thoughts on the different types of songs that BTS would be performing and the dance moves that went along with those songs.

 Finally making it to the venue, the first thing that caught my eyes was how big it was. I mean, of course it had to be, considering the amount of fans they have. 

My eyes widened at the queue that kept getting longer every time. I guess many people had the same idea, to arrive earlier considering how long the waiting line seemed.

"Holy shit...", Nicole spoke up as her eyes widened upon seeing the amount of fans that had been waiting outside to be let in.

"Well, here goes nothing", Caylynn said as she exited the car, Nicole and I following right after.

Growing nervous at the amount of stares that were thrown at us, I held on tightly to Nicole's hand with her gladly accepting it. Giving my hand a slight squeeze of reassurance, she send an encouraging smile my way as we walked to the back of the line, ignoring the stares.

"Hey, it's alright. Caylynn and I are here with you, so ignore everything else", Nicole said softly as she rubbed her thumb over my knuckles to comfort my anxiety.

"But, they keep staring...", I said and glanced around.

Sure enough, there were people that were staring. Some were trying to be discreet while others just downright stared straight at us.

"It's because we're so hot, they can't help but stare", Caylynn said as she sassily tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

This caused me to laugh, Nicole joining in with me as I felt a bit better. I don't do well in crowds of people, especially when being in the center of attention, cause it makes me nervous and anxious.

After that, we met a few fans that started up conversation with us, talking about how much they love BTS and who their bias is, as well as their favorite songs. They were quite surprised that we were fluent in Korean since we were foreigners. This led us to explain that it was necessary, considering the jobs we had.

From that point, the conversation just flowed and before we knew it, it was our turn to be let in. I showed them the proof of the ticket bookings on my phone, including our seat numbers. After that we were led in and I now clung to Caylynn's arm in excitement.

"Oh my god, please tell me this is not a dream", Nicole mumbled as her eyes darted around the inside of the venue.

"It's not a dream, babe, it's real", Caylynn replied, her own voice in disbelief.

Why the fuck am I feeling so emotional?

Nicole dragged us over to a stall that sold merch, light sticks, plushies. We decided to get us each a light stick and a small plushie. I got Chimmy, Nicole got TaTa and Caylynn got Shooky.

With excited smiles, we made our way to our seats which were right in front of the stage. I could already imagine how close we would be if they were to walk down to where we are placed.

RM's POV:

 I sighed, staring at my reflection in the mirror as I try and calm my nerves. Taking a deep breath, before giving myself a reassuring smile and straightening my outfit, making sure there are no creases.

"You look fine, hyung", came Hosoek's voice from behind me, causing me to turn towards him.

He gave my shoulder a tight squeeze and smiled brightly. "ARMY'S going to lose their minds when they see us tonight, so don't worry about it".

"Thanks Hosoek, I needed that", I gave him a smile and a pat on the arm before going around to check on the rest of my group members.

Taehyung and Jungkook were already dressed and ready as they laughed at something on Taehyung's phone. Jin sat in the chair, getting a few touch ups on his hair while making a few dad jokes that he laughed at afterwards.

Continuing on my mission, I found one of them seated on the couch, looking deep in thought about something. I frowned slightly and made my way over and sat beside him.

As soon as I sat down, it seemed to pull him out of his thoughts, causing him to look at me, forcing a small smile on his face. This caused me to frown even more since I now knew that something is bothering him.   

"What's the matter, I can tell something is bothering you", I spoke softly and watched as he let out a sigh.

"Just something on my mind, that's all", he said, playing with the rings on his fingers.

I wanted to ask what was on his mind that caused his mood to change suddenly. Before I could do so, we were called and notified that we needed to take our positions.

Turning back to him, I placed my hand on his shoulder and gave him a dimpled smile. "Whatever it is, just know that you can talk to me about it", he nodded in understanding before giving me a genuine smile.

"Thanks, hyung", he said, to which i shook my head and helped him up as we made our way out the room.

Let the show begin...
