THIRD PERSON’S POV
14th February, Las Vegas

As the plane touched down in Sweden, Ariana's heart raced with anticipation and nervousness. It had been over a month since she last spoke to Jungkook, and the thought of seeing him again filled her with a mix of excitement and dread.

Stepping off the plane, Ariana took a deep breath, steeling herself for whatever awaited her. She had come to Sweden to support BTS on their tour, but deep down, she hoped it would also be a chance to finally confront Jungkook and resolve the tension that had been building between them.

As she made her way to the venue where the concert was being held, her nerves only grew.

Meanwhile, BTS had already been informed of Ariana's arrival. The members, now backstage before the show, felt the tension in the air.

Jimin glanced around nervously, catching the eyes of the others. "She's here," he whispered, his voice barely audible over the bustling backstage noise.

Jin raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure?" he asked, his tone tinged with concern.

Jimin nodded. "I saw her arrive with the staff," he confirmed.

Jungkook, who had been lost in thought, looked up. "So what?" he muttered, trying to feign indifference.

Namjoon shot him a look. "You know exactly what," he said firmly. "You can’t keep avoiding her forever, Jungkook."

Jungkook bristled. "I don’t need you telling me what to do," he snapped.

Yoongi stepped in, calm but assertive. "Enough. We need to focus on the show. Ariana’s here whether you like it or not. Let’s keep things professional."

Jungkook grumbled under his breath, but he knew Yoongi was right. He couldn’t let personal issues interfere with the performance.

As the members prepared to take the stage, Ariana remained on Jungkook’s mind. Yoongi shot him a warning glance.

"Remember, before Ariana was your so-called girlfriend, she's our CEO," he said. "You can’t afford to act like this."

Jungkook clenched his jaw. He knew Yoongi was right. Ariana wasn’t just someone he had feelings for—she was their leader and a vital part of their success.

Taking a deep breath, he nodded. "You’re right, hyung. I’ll do better."

With that, BTS took the stage, determined to give their fans a show to remember.

The music filled the air, and they launched into their first song, "IDOL." The crowd erupted in cheers. Jungkook poured his heart into every move, trying to drown his emotions in the performance.

During a short break, Taehyung stepped forward. "You guys are amazing!" he shouted over the crowd. "Let’s keep the energy going for the next song!"

They jumped into "MIC Drop" next, the fans roaring louder. Jin’s vocals soared through the arena, commanding the attention of all.

After that, Jimin addressed the crowd, his voice full of emotion. "Thank you for being here tonight. We wouldn’t be here without your love and support."

The cheers intensified as they moved to "Boy With Luv" and then finally to "Dynamite." The energy was at its peak, the entire arena singing and dancing with them.

Backstage after the performance, the members were buzzing with excitement—but something was missing. Ariana.

During the final bow, Namjoon took the mic. "Before we go," he said, "I want to thank someone very special who's here tonight. Ariana, our CEO, has been the force behind so much of what we do. We couldn’t ask for a better leader and family member."
