"Okay, everyone! We got this! We prepared well for it. Now, take the stage with pride!" The boys' manager encouraged loudly so that all the staff present could hear.

Today is the opening day of their three-day concert. The boys are nervous and excited at the same time but, mostly just very excited to perform for their fans again. It's been a long time since they had a concert in Korea because they have been busy meeting their global fans. For any artist, it's an exhilarating feeling to be back on stage in their home country.

The venue was decorated intricately - Lights, fireworks, lifts. The stage was designed and assembled in such a way that the boys would be able to come close to the fans whether sitting or standing in all corners of the monstrous dome. The sound system, led screens and cameras were all strategically placed to capture every moment of each performance.

"Wow!" Bianca exclaimed in pure amazement as she walked past the boys' life size stand ups. This is the first time she will be seeing the boys perform. Not her neighbors but BTS.IN.THE.FLESH as artists.
She had the chance to watch one of their rehearsals being the official caterer but, this was the real thing.
I cannot believe I'm fangirling right now. I'm so nervous I think I'm going to faint. She said while fanning herself with her hand.
"Hey, B! Are you okay?" Chelsea tapped her shoulder.
She nodded quickly, took a deep breath and walked towards the entrance of the sitting audience. They wanted to buy the tickets for the standing audience section but, the tickets sold out even before Bianca got the chance to pull out her credit card.
That's how famous they are now. Sold out in minutes. Good thing I was still able to get good seats. She thought to herself.

The show started a couple of minutes after they were able to find their seats. They saw some of the boys' parents on the other side of the gymnasium proudly waiting for their sons' appearance on stage.
As soon as the big led screen played the opening video, the entire dome was filled with screaming, men and women alike.
I know this song, House of Cards. Bianca said to herself as the stage lit a dim light showing just a man walking up the stairs on the far right of the stage.
Is that supposed to be Taehyung? They are re-enacting the prologue. Cool. She had been listening to their songs and watching their videos so much in the past months that she could already recognize the songs on the first few notes.
Who wouldn't? They are THAT good. She complimented her friends.
The lights went off and the dome fell silent.
Just then, the famous line from one of their songs, broke the silence. The first set of fireworks went off and there they were, on a lift as the white curtain was dropped, swaying in the air. Bianca and Chelsea could not help but scream with the rest of the crowd. Lightsticks shaped like bombs were all up in the air like stars in a dark sky swaying in tune as the boys sang their first song - Hold Me Tight.
They all look so good. Tae looks so handsome. Bianca said to herself and immediately feeling the rush of blood in her cheeks.
Thank God the place is dark. I'd look stupid blushing like a highschooler gaping at her crush. Ugh. She said rolling her eyes at herself.

"Oh my God! Biancs they are so cool on stage! I'm totally fangirling over them right now!" Chelsea tried shouting over the screams and failed instantly.
The show went on smoothly. The ladies enjoyed the show so much until the end of it.
"Wow! This is worth ten times our money Biancs, seriously." Chelsea cried still hangover from the dancing.
"I know! They become different people when they perform. I've never seen this side of them until today. Totally worth it." She said with a big smile.

As the two walked towards the exit, they saw the boys' manager coming down from the control booth. "Hello manager-nim!" They bowed in greeting.
"Hi, ladies! Good to see you both here. I hope you enjoyed the show! Sorry, I have to go see the boys now. I'll tell them, I saw you." He greeted back and disappeared into the crowd towards the backstage.
Bianca pulled out her phone and sent a message.
