Through It All S2

Flight to America/Rehearsal/The Performance

EUNJI'S POV:

I was a woman possessed. I was checking my suitcases, my wallet, my passport, and my plane tickets to make sure I had everything prepared. Yoongi walked into the bedroom and gently tapped my shoulder, "Will you calm down, Eunji-ah? You've had everything prepared for two weeks now."

I looked at him and took a deep breath, "I know, but I just need to be sure. This is the first American Music Awards you're performing in and I want to be sure that I have everything I need."

Yoongi pulled me into a gentle kiss and said, "You have everything. I checked everything myself."

I returned the kiss and smiled, "You're a gem."

"So are you," he replied.

Then my phone rang. It was Minho-oppa, "Good morning, Eunji. I'm outside."

"Thanks, oppa. We'll be right out," I told him.

Yoongi and I picked up our bags and we went outside to meet Minho-oppa at the van. He helped us load up the luggage into the van and I sat in the passenger side of the van while Yoongi sat in the back. During the drive, I asked, "Are you ready for this, Oppa?"

Minho-oppa nodded, "Definitely."

It wasn't a long drive to the airport. Yoongi thankfully was able to gather with the rest of the members so they could walk into the airport together. The Styling Trinity and the rest of the staff were taking care of the luggage and other things that we needed for the red carpet and performance. The flight surprisingly went off without a hitch despite how long we had to wait to board the plane. Once we touched down in Los Angeles, I felt the familiar heat of the city. I smiled, "This is it."

Mi Ho-unni smiled, "You missed being here, didn't you?"

I nodded, "I had really good memories here with Alisha. She told me that she was able to secure a seat at the awards show."

Minho-oppa looked confused, "How? Isn't it expensive to attend award shows?"

"It is. That's why she's been saving money for the event since January," I told them.

The guys were greeted by ARMYs once they were outside the airport. We were in the vans heading to our next destination. The guys were in separate vans from us, but it didn't bother us too much. We dropped everything off at the hotel that we were checked into and we went to the venue for rehearsal. I know the guys were rehearsing like crazy before the flight, but now they needed to rehearse with the stage measurements in mind. I smiled, "I can't wait to see the stage."

Mi Ho-unni laughed, "I bet it'll be huge."

Minho-oppa nodded, "Most likely."

THE NEXT DAY:

We were all correct about the stage. It was very large, but the guys were trying to make it work. At some point, they needed a second opinion about formations, so I heard Hobi ask, "Noona, what did you think?"

I watched them rehearse the whole time and I said, "You were all too far apart in some areas."

After some tweaking, everyone was satisfied with the end product.

DAY OF THE AMAS:

How the air felt today could only be described as electric. We had the guys in their stage outfits and their hair and makeup done in a matter of minutes which even baffled me. Once that was done, the guys were escorted to their trailer. I was glad that the guys were allowed some time to eat and decompress before they had to go on stage. While we were helping them attach their mic packs, Yoongi asked me, "Did you think we would ever make it this far?"

I smiled, "I always thought you would. It just took a longer time than I thought to get here."

He laughed, "4 years is a long time."

Khaled came in to greet the guys and I stepped away to let them talk. After that, it was time for the run-through rehearsal. After that, Mi Ho-unni helped the guys get into their red carpet-outfits.

I smiled and asked them, "Are you ready?"

They all shook their heads and I laughed, "You will be."

While they were practicing their English for the interview, the Styling Trinity left to go to the waiting room to lay out their outfits for the stage. Minho-oppa sighed, "So, we have this place to ourselves until they perform."

I smiled, "Yes and I provided food for us."

Mi Ho-unni looked pleased, "I'm supposed to be dieting for my wedding, but I can cheat for one day."

Minho-oppa and I laughed and once we settled down, the show started to air. We were able to enjoy the show while eating, then it was almost time for the guys to get ready. Once they found us, we were getting them ready. Yoongi said, "You had sliders and didn't leave me any."

I laughed, "You have your food. I'll make it up to you when we get back home."

Once they were ready, it was time for the performance.

I smiled, "That was great."

Minho-oppa nodded, "The crowd was louder than the guys."

Then we heard the guys return. The maknae line immediately asked, "How did we do?"

I laughed, "You were brilliant."

Mi Ho-unni smiled, "They'll invite you back."

"I hope so!" Taehyung replied, grinning.

The guys had to take some final photos for the press, and then we all returned to the hotel to eat and celebrate. I only had one glass of champagne because I didn't need to get drunk. Yoongi and I went to our hotel room and he was on the bed immediately. I asked, "Worn out?"

Yoongi hummed, and then I said, "Can I at least run you a shower?"

Yoongi looked at me with a tired smile, "If the shower is big enough, you can join me."

I looked at the bathroom and said with a smile, "It is big enough for two people."

And that's the chapter! Hello, everyone! Thank you so much for your patience while I was writing this chapter. I understand that this year's AMAs have already passed, but better late than never. I plan to write the chapter on Jin's wedding next. I pray that you're doing well, staying safe and I hope you enjoyed the chapter!
