Found Family; The Eternal

15, Blood sweat & tears

" Vannie POV "

I twirl a long cord between my fingers, gulping back the nervous feelings in my chest. Knowing the members are with me, it helps me calm down. While my makeup is being done, I can hear the crowd scream from the stage.

Despite how nervous I feel, I keep a chirpy attitude, and Taehyung hasn't left my side at all. He helps keep my mood steady, and even with my crippling anxiety, I somehow stay calm in his presence.

Speaking of Taehyung, he nudges me. "Are you really nervous, Van?"

I sigh loudly, "Sorta."

He laughs, "That's okay." He says with a boxy smile, shooing the lady who was doing his hair away. "You don't have to do this, Van."

I glare at him, "Yes, I do. ARMY and Yoongi are counting on me."

Tae squints, "They'll get over you not doing it.. They won't get over you messing up, " He chuckles.

I sigh, "Tae, that's rude. I'm fine! I wouldn't ever mess up.. Nope.. Never.."

He rolls his eyes, grabbing his phone. "Sure."

After we finish our makeup, we all walk to our platforms. We hop on it, and I look down -- Even though Namjoon told me not to -- And I'm immediately scared. I should've listened to him!

Namjoon looks over, noticing I had looked down and smirks, mouthing. "Told you." Namjoon knows best; listen to Namjoon. Yap yap yap.

As we are raised up on the stage, the loudness of the screaming could definitely make me go deaf. With that realization in mind, I shove my ear pieces in, putting on my game face. The platforms are raised, and the screams get somehow louder. I smirk and look to Hobi, who walks up to the front of the stage with me as Mic Drop starts. All of the ARMY'S do the fanchant, and we all dance freely while we wait. I'm nervous to do Yoongi's rap, but I gulp and use all of my courage.

"KIM NAMJOON! KIM SEOKJIN! MIN YOONGI! JUNG HOSEOK! VANNIE STONE! PARK JIMIN! KIM TAEHYUNG! JEON JUNGKOOK! B, T, SSSSS!!" ARMY screams loudly.

I get in position with Hobi, and he starts to rap. "Yeah, 누가 내 수저 더럽대. I don't care, 마이크 잡음 금수저 여럿 패. 버럭해 잘 못 익은 것들 스테끼 여러 개. 거듭해서 씹어줄게 스타의 저녁에. World business (Bang, bang) 핵심. 섭외 1순위 (Clap, clap) 매진. 많지 않지 이 class 가칠 만끽. 좋은 향기에 악췬 반칙 (I go) Mic, mic' bungee."

Despite being so nervous I could puke, we switch around, and I rap Yoongi's part. "Mic mic bungee, bright light 전진
망할 거 같았겠지만 I'm fine, sorry. 미안해 Billboard, 미안해 worldwide, 아들이 넘 잘나가서 미안해 엄마. 대신해줘 니가 못한 효도 우리 콘서트 절대 없어 포도, I do it I do it 넌 맛없는 라따뚜이. 혹 배가 아프다면 고소해. SUE IT!" I rap perfectly, the vocal line now doing their parts perfect, too.

By now, the concert is minutes from being over. Life goes on slowly gets quieter, and ARMY'S screams never fail to be loud and sweet. This was the most fun I've had in my entire life. I feel alive, I feel real. Like this was what I was meant to do. And as I stare into the crowd of people, I realize why they love their fans so dearly. These people would protect BTS with their lives, and they're too thoughtful.

As the concert comes to an end, I hold my microphone to my lips. The music has completely stopped now, and I smile at the crowd. "I.. I just want to say thank you." I pause, and the crowd goes quiet as they listen. Now that I'm near the front, I notice how many fan boys are here. Wow..

I laugh a little, a tear falling down my cheek. "This is my first performance ever. And.. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Jungkook." I point to him. "I met him at a gas station, and him being the kind soul he is, he offered me a ride. It might seem like nobody understands or listens, but these boys have understood me in a way nobody else ever has." I smile sadly, swallowing thickly. "I was a nobody. I came from a place where people are jerks, and I had no friends, believe it or not. But now I'm surrounded by the best people in the whole world. Not only do I have BTS, I have ARMY."

ARMY cheers, and I get on my knees, kneeling. "Thank you so, so much. You all saved me." And when I look to my sides, I notice all of the boys have kneeled next to me in the same position.

Just then, fireworks go off, and Jimin smiles, "Look at the fireworks, ARMY! Look at how pretty!" 

All ARMY'S look, except a few, and that's our queue. We all leave the stage sweaty, and some of us crying, even. We hear their screams, but it slowly fades as we go farther backstage. That was beautiful.. amazing.. Perfect.

I smile, "Okay, I'm gonna go down here for that ice cream!"

Hobi sighs, "I'll go with you."

The rest of the members stay there, taking off some of their makeup, and Hobi and I walk there.

Until I'm grabbed harshly, a man's hands on my hips. "Vannie! I'm in love with you!!" The saesang slurs.

I yelp, "No! Get off! Don't touch me!" But I'm completely shocked by what happens next.

Hobi yells at the man, pushing the man off. "Don't touch her!"

The man immediately falls over, looking up at Hobi with a scared look.

Surprisingly, Vayle is soon standing here, "I called security already." He leans down to me where I'm on the floor helping me up.

But instead of hugging him, I reach for Hobi and latch onto him. "H-h-hobi." I hold onto him.

He hugs me tightly, "I know, it's okay."

And by now, the guards have taken the man, -- Or should I say boy -- and the rest of the members have walked in.

Jimin rushes to me, "What happened?!"

"A saesang attacked her. I'm so glad I decided to come with her." He nudges me to Jimin, who I grab rightly.

I'm now holding onto Jimin, and he strokes my hair. "How the hell did they ever get in here?"

Jin goes complete dad mode and rushes to me. "Are you hurt? Here, I'll g÷t you ice-cream. Someone get her mint chip!"

The staff all scurry around to find me mint chip ice cream, and it leaves me giggling. "I'm okay, Jin."

Jungkook is now here, too, and he wipes my tears with his hand. "There, all better."

I smile, "Thank you."

Namjoon hands me the ice cream, "Here, Van. Do you want chocolate sauce?"

I laugh, "Damn, I should get attacked more often. I'm being treated like a princess." I flip my hair.

But of course, my rude best friend is here to spoil it. "Oh shut up, bragger."

I roll my eyes, punching his arm. "Shut up, Tae!"
