Fun Boys

VI

"Omo omo omo! I can't believe the day is here! And we have VIP tickets!" Jungkook squealed. Jin smiled at his dongsaeng, appreciating his positivity.

Jimin looked up as they got closer to the concert building. "Daebak. It's really tall."

"Yeah it is! I can't wait," Jungkook nearly yelled.

"Whoa, hold up, Kookie. See that long line over there?" Jin pointed at a line of people, fans, curling around the corner. "We're not the only ones waiting so we need to be courteous and go to the back of the line."

"Ah, you're right, hyung. I guess we have to wait," he pouted. The trio found the back of the line after about 10 minutes of walking. Jungkook sighed in agony. "Why must this line be so long? Wae?!"

Jimin covered his mouth when people began to stare at them. "Just wait. It'll be worth it when you get to see your ultimate idol, right?" Jungkook nodded his head vigorously.

"Well, what do we do in the meantime? It's about 3 right now and the concert begins at 7. What am I gonna do for 4 hours, Minnie?" Jungkook asked.

Jimin, however wasn't even paying attention. He was on his phone scrolling through instagram. He barely heard Jungkook speaking to him. "Uh, huh? Ask Jin-hyung. I'm doing something right now..."

Jungkook looked expectantly at Jin, who had somehow fallen asleep against a light post a few feet away from him. He sighed, thinking about what would happen backstage with the VIP passes. His mood immediately lightened. He was going to get a picture with his favorite artist!

He sat next to Jimin and looked at the line crawling even longer behind him and the boys.

"This is going to be a long day," Jungkook whispered. "At least we've got good seats!"

---***---

"Ah! We're finally inside! I'm gonna go buy some stuff!" Jungkook said before darting away to a merch stand. Jin sighed and trailed behind him.

"Jimin, find our seats inside, please!" he called behind him.

Jimin nodded and went through the double doors that led inside the venue. The place was huge. It had a 60,000 seat capacity with a huge T shaped stage. Jimin looked at the laminated ticket in his hand and then up at his surroundings. A few fans were wandering around, doing the same as he was. Most others were at the merch stand like Jungkook.

He wandered around aimlessly trying to find his seat, B14. He was just about to give up and go back outside when he saw a security guard roaming around the pit (the gap between the seats and stage). "Excuse meeeee! Ajusshi! Would you mind helping me find my seat, please?"

"Sure. Can I see your ticket stub?" The guard was nicer than he expected. Jimin handed over his stub and the man laughed. "Your seat is right behind you, sir."

Jimin turned around and saw his seat number. He blushed in embarrassment and bowed when the guard gave him back the ticket. Front row seats, he noticed. Jimin thanked him and sat down, waiting for his two best friends.

It wasn't long before he heard Jungkook's loud bark and Jin's windshield laugh. He turned around in his seat and waved them over. "H-hey Jimin," Jin started when he approached, still giggling. "If Jungkook were a pasta, what would he be called?" the eldest asked, looking for his number and sitting down. Jungkook sat on the other side of Jimin in between the two, laughing in anticipation.

Jimin sighed. "What would he be called, hyung?"

"Maknaeroni!" Jin cried before laughing so hard he almost fell out of his seat. Jimin chuckled at his hyung's silliness and Jungkook wiped the tears forming in the corners of his eyes.

Before long, every seat was filled and the fans' chatter amplified loudly in the room. Jimin could feel shivers up and down his back, although he didn't know why.

The lights dimmed and every fan was already screaming their lungs out. "The performer isn't even on stage yet..." Jimin mumbled.

A huge screen toward the back wall of the stage lit up. It showed an introduction for "V" and again, Jimin felt as though he knew where he had seen the boy before. He just couldn't remember.

A white puppy ran out on the stage and somehow the cheers got louder. It looked around a bit when a spotlight focused on it. It barked once and disappeared backstage on the other side. Pyro suddenly shot into the air, startling Jimin a little. Jungkook was going crazy screaming along with the other fans and Jin just smiled. Soon, V himself came out on stage rising through a duct in the floor. He began his first song, an upbeat tune to get the crowd hyped up.

His brown hair shone golden underneath the stage lights. He seemed so familiar to Jimin.

Jimin was snapped out of his thoughts by Jungkook grabbing his hand and waving him around to the music. Jungkook was doing the same to Jin on his other side.

He sighed and watched as the show went on.
