Over the following weeks, Yoongi and Kat started hanging out more. Now that they had each other's phone number, they were texting non-stop. One would think that being musicians doing completely different music genres, they would not talk about work as much, but that assumption would be wrong. They talked about their music a lot. Kat didn't know much about K-pop, but she always had a soft spot for BTS, there was something about them that captivated her. The amazing vocals, the gorgeous melodies and the impressive choreographies were just some of the things she liked about BTS. It came as a plus that they have a diverse discography and are some of the most handsome men she has ever seen.

Yoongi on the other hand, has always been more into hip-hop than he's been into genres like metal. But in the last couple of years, his interest in heavier music has increased. He had to admit he didn't know who Crazy Saints were, and Kat was right when she told him the Grammy doesn't grant you exposure when you're doing anything other than pop. But after meeting her he did his research, and he was not disappointed with what he found.

Their music combined heavy guitar riffs, melodic guitar solos and some impressive vocals. Kat could both growl and sing, and her performances were really something else. He would never think that someone as nice as her could produce such sounds. Meeting her has Yoongi thinking that he should definitely do something more metal or rock oriented on his next album.

Today, Crazy Saints were playing in Korea for this first show of the Asian leg of their tour, and of course Yoongi is going to their concert. He just hasn't told Kat because he wants to surprise her and see her reaction. Him and Kat had been hanging out frequently ever since the party in Las Vegas, thanks to some of their tour dates matching. They had the most fun when they were together, whether that be going on little strolls through the cities they were in or going wherever together. Every time they hang out tough, none of them ever mentions the fact that they almost hooked up. Whenever they were together there was some tension between them, but they both ignored it for the sake of keeping their friendship. Yoongi loved having her as a friend, they had so many things they both liked, and both shared an undying passion for music.

Yoongi loved Kat's work ethic, for it was very similar to his. She was one of those people who believe that if you arrive on time, then you're already late. Yoongi knew how much time she dedicated daily to practicing guitar, and on top of that she had singing lessons. He hadn't really met anyone outside of K-pop, that was as dedicated to their craft as he was, until he met Kat. Plus, now Yoongi had someone to talk to about analog gear, and plugins he was currently obsessing over.

At the moment Yoongi is standing at the V.I.P. section of the concert patiently waiting for his friend's band to start playing. The stadium is full, and Yoongi had to admit he didn't know Crazy Saints were so popular in Korea. Finally, the opening band finishes their set, and Yoongi hears Kat's voice. "Are you ready Seoul?" she asks in Korean. The crowd erupts in a loud screaming frenzy, and Yoongi keeps looking at the screen, seeing how Kat's face lights up as she takes off her in-ear monitor and hears the crowd. The way her eyes shone, and she would get this shy smile that shows her dimples will always be the most endearing thing to him.

She puts her in-ears back on as the lead guitar player starts playing, soon after Kat starts playing too, harmonizing with him. When she starts singing Yoongi's jaw drops to the floor. It's one thing to see a video of her performance, but experiencing it live was something else. Although growling was not Yoongi's cup of tea, when she did it, he thought it was the coolest thing ever. He saw the mosh pit opening up and he almost wished he could be there too, had it not been for his shoulder injury and the fact that he's in the biggest band in the world.

He liked some of the songs, but he was there mostly to support his friend, not really for the music itself. It had been a while since they had last seen each other, and honestly, Yoongi was missing her. He could only hope she was missing him too.
