Lost In Translation

The One With the Chase

~°~°~°~°~Melody's POV°~°~°~°~°~

The music begins blasting and all the fans scream in anticipation.

I hold my breath as I feel my box being wheeled out on stage. Luckily I can't see the audience and they can't see me.

All I see for the first part are the boys' feet as they begin doing their normal routine while the volume of the music rattles my bones.

After being wheeled around to various locations on the stage, I sense my part is coming soon.

A thud on top of my box alerts me that Yoongi has just jumped onto my box to perform his part of the song.

"우리가 떴다 하면 전세계 어디든지 stadium party ay. K-pop 아이돌로 태어나 다시 환생한 artist. 다시 환생한 artist 다시 환생한 artist. 내가 아이돌이든 예술가이든 뭐가 중요해 짠해
예술도 이 정도면 과음이지 과음 yeah
새 기록은 자신과 싸움이지 싸움 yeah
축배를 들어올리고 one shot. 허나 난 여전히 목말라 What." He spits out.

Man, he raps so fast, I have a feeling that even if I did speak Korean, I still wouldn't know what he is saying.

Welp, now is my moment. Here goes nothing!

"You ready for this?" Namjoon says to the audience as he pulls me out from behind the box.

"Are you ready to get hyped up Osaka?" I call out into my microphone as I step up on to the platform and receive cheers in return.

"Come on!" Namjoon yells as we join the others on the floor.

"다 마셔 마셔 마셔 마셔 내 술잔 ay
다 빠져 빠져 빠져 미친 예술가에
한 잔 (one shot) 두 잔 (two shots)
예술에 취해 불러 옹헤야. 다 마셔 마셔 마셔 마셔 내 술잔 ay
다 빠져 빠져 빠져 미친 예술가에
한 잔 (one shot) 두 잔 (two shots)
꽹과리 치며 불러 옹헤야. 술잔 (sippin') 팔짱 (tippin') (한 입)
티르소스 (grippin') 포도 (eatin') (쭉 들이켜) 분위기 (keep it) D style (rip it) (한 입) 여기 (kill it) let's steal it The illest (쭉 들이켜). 술잔 (sippin'), 팔짱 (tippin') (한 입)
티르소스 (grippin'), 포도 (eatin') (쭉 들이켜) 분위기 (keep it), D style (rip it) (한 입)여기 (kill it) let's steal it The illest." They all belt out while we are giving our all in the choreography.

Before I realize it, the song ends to the roar of the approval of the audience.

My lungs expand and deflate rapidly as I feel my heartbeat in my throat.

I just did my first live performance and the rush of adrenaline has me on cloud nine.

Instinct takes over as I bow and wave out to the audience.

"How are you doing Osaka?!" Namjoon calls out.

The boys each give their own forms of greeting while thousands of girls scream in response, which none of us can understand.

"A while ago, as I'm sure you all know, we had a worldwide contest to have a lucky group to represent the army on stage with us for the last stretch of our tour." Namjoon begins before pausing to allow the crowd to roar in response.

"Well, after an interesting turn of events and some forms of miscommunication, we would like to formally introduce you to the winner of the Contest, Melody!" He says as he introduces me by raising my arm up like I am the winner of a pro-wrestling match.

He then pushes me forward to properly introduce myself.

Shoot, Brooke never went over this part with me...
