(A/N: Just a note for this chapter: I don't know what was going on with BTS while they were off camera. I watched zero fan cams of them during commercial breaks or even during the show. I made up half of this stuff, but I tried to make it was realistic as possible. Enjoy!)

Hoseok ran one of his fingers across his lip. He did it again, this time applying lip balm, to give his lips a shine. He leaned back in his seat, the car was filled with the smell of new leather, Hoseok wondered if the car was truly new. He slipped one of his hands into the inner pocket of his suit. He sighed a relief, the letter was still in there. The last letter, which he had yet to read. Hoseok had been saving it for as long as possible, especially since he read the other three so quickly.

The black car suddenly pulled to a stop, and a moment later the door was opened. Hoseok was momentarily blinded by the sudden sunlight. He blinked his eyes a few times before sliding out of the car, joining the other members on the red carpet. Cameras flashed as they proceeded down the red carpet. Hoseok kept an eye out for any possible fansites, he didn't think any would come all the way from Korea, but if they did, he would be excited.

Hoseok felt like repeatedly sliding his hand into his pocket, just to make sure the letter was really there, safe and sound. He couldn't do that though, and if lots of pictures were posted of him doing that, it may raise concern and questions.

Hoseok kept his hands at his side for the duration of the red carpet. However, when ever he waved or shook a hand he slid his hand along the side of his jacket. He stopped after the first few times, once he realized he couldn't even feel the letter. It was probably a little rude to shake someone's hand then rub your own on your suit. Maybe more than a little.

He wasn't sure how long he spent on the red carpet, but finally, after asking dozens of repetitive questions and taking pictures with a number of well known American celebrities, they finally made their way into the stadium. Hoseok felt like the walk to the front row seats took forever. Especially since everyone in front of him were moving so slowly.

Finally, after what felt like thirty minutes Hoseok took his seat. They all got themselves settled in their designated seats, Hoseok sat between Jimin and Jungkook. Hoseok knew Jungkook brought snacks, so Hoseok would be stealing some at one point of the show.

A little while after they settled, celebrities started walking up to them yet again. "Can we take a picture together?" A woman with dirty blonde hair asked. Her voice was kind of quirky and sweet. Hoseok understood her, he felt like his English was getting better. He would have answered though the woman had been speaking to Namjoon.

Namjoon nodded his head, then he told both Jimin and Hoseok, in Korean, that the woman wanted a picture. Hoseok held back an eye roll, he had understood, but he nodded his head. He watched as the woman sat down on the arm rest between Jimin and Namjoon. Hoseok threw out a peace sign and a smile. After the picture was taken the woman introduced herself as Rachel Platten.

She continued her introduction by giving the group a pep talk about performing on stage. Hoseok didn't catch everything she was saying, and as she continued talking the venue grew louder with people. Every once and awhile he would nod his head or say something like "Ah, thank you. Very kind of you", or just a simple "Yes".

Rachel finally left to go find her own group of friends. Namjoon got up and left to find the bathroom, then a couple minutes later Ansel Elgort made his way over with his girlfriend. There was a bit of lively conversation and catching up being done. A couple pictures were taken. Unfortunately for Namjoon, Ansel left just as he arrived, which lead to Namjoon's disappointment.

"Sorry hyung," Jimin said, as Salty Joon sat in his spot. "I tried to hold him for you, perhaps you can talk to him later."

"It's okay, Jimin," Namjoon waved off the younger member. Namjoon inhaled, he let out a sigh as he glanced around the stadium. "I can't believe we're here."
