BTS

Kids...they are so dramatic sometimes.

~🌺~

A month has passed...and the BTS concert is in two days. The girls have been moping around for the last week, and it gets worse with each day that passes.

On a daily basis, I hear phrases like "Oh my god, I can't believe Jimin is going to be 2 hours away, so close, yet so far away..." Or, "I could be breathing the same air as Taehyung, it's so not fair..."

I have to say, I'm 100% in agreement with them...but I won't tell them that

"Girls, it's not the end of the world... I'm sure they'll be here again at some point in the future. Besides, you know you'll find concert clips on the internet a day or two after..."

"It's not the same mom..." they whined.

"Well I'm really sorry, you know that, right?"

"Yeah, mom, we know...it just really sucks. It could be a couple years before they come back. Why didn't our letter win? Why can't we just move to Korea?"

If only it were that easy...

Wait, a letter? I had no idea what they were talking about, but it didn't matter. There were more important things to deal with right now.

School had ended last week, and the girls were going to camp for two weeks. They leave in three days, the day after the BTS concert.

"Girls, come help me get the groceries in. I got you some snacks to take with you for the ride to camp."

They both came out with pouts on their faces, shuffling their feet and kicking the dirt. 

"Ya know, I bet when we get to camp, half the kids there will be talking about the BTS concert, and how amazing it was. I don't even wanna go to camp this year"

I felt like the worst mom in the world. I almost wished I had tried to get tickets. I'm not going to lie, I am just as bummed as they are. But I can't let them know that.

I couldn't lie, BTS has literally changed my life. I know it sounds crazy, but it's true. The influence they have had on me is such a positive one, and the messages they spread are something we can all learn from. They are wise beyond their years. 

I will always be grateful to them for bringing such happiness into my life, I can't even explain what they have done for me. But I had to set priorities, as much as I sometimes wished I didn't.

"Well, camp is already paid for, so your both going. You'll be fine, and two weeks will fly by, you'll be home before you know it."

They set the bags on the table, and said they were going to start packing. I watched them walk away looking like nothing worse had ever happened to them.

I sighed. 

They'll be fine, eventually. Right?

The concert is tonight, and the girls are just about in tears. I can't even handle being in the same room with them. I decided to go make sure they had everything together for their ride to camp tomorrow. The bus picks them up at 10am, and they have a 3 1/2 hour ride to camp, so snacks are a must!

Everything seems to be in order, so there really isn't anything else to do. I told them I was going to get a shower and go to bed.

"It's so unfair." 

I turned to look at them. 

"Ya know whats unfair? Being 44 and being just as crazy about seven gorgeous 20 something year old men who happen to sing like angels as what your teenage daughters are, that's what unfair! I'd give almost anything to be 25 years younger, at least you guys have a chance, no matter how unrealistic it is that you'll actually meet them in person."

I knew I was being a bit grumpy, but I was tired of hearing them complain, because I was just as upset about the whole thing as they were, only I had to keep it to myself.

I walked away, leaving them standing there with their mouths opened, staring after me.
