[Epilogue]

It was so sudden, you didn't even remember a thing and how you arrived there. But here you are, in this place filled with people left and right.

There are seats provided, but somehow no one in your field of sight are sitting down. Everyone kept their eyes on one spot, in the middle of everything where the seats are positioned to face the stage.

Time must've stopped earlier, since everything were attacking you from all senses. The loud blaring speakers and nonstop screaming, the blast of colours and beautiful stage, the intense fiery atmosphere around you.

Before you could feel overwhelmed by all of this, seven boys walked to the stage and started performing.

Their songs felt familiar to you, and so does their performance. The crowd went even wilder, chanting along the song powerfully.

You followed the crowd naturally, as if you're always here, as if you had practice this over and over and over a thousand and one times before.

You remember.

You remembered everything, but it wasn't what you've experienced before in your life. Every time you felt down and every joy you felt were accompanied by them.

They're always there to pick your broken pieces  and glue them together, they lift you up even higher when you're happy, and you happily return the favor to them.

To the seven amazing boys who you've long to meet since forever, boys who introduced themself as BTS.

As seven boys who used to only dreamt of being what they have already exceeded now.

As seven bulletproof boys who spread the message to love oneself before loving another.

As seven wonderful artist who used to perform in front of hundreds to performing for the whole world.

As seven boys you know almost everything of, but they only know you with one name.

A.R.M.Y.

You sang along every song, with heart, tears and love for them burning endlessly.

Then the song changes. The beat went a little bit slower, and they're no longer dancing, just standing and looking at each and every eyes of as many ARMYs as possible

"Days when you hate that you’re you
Days when you wanna disappear"

Your tears started streaming down again, this time because the lyrics resonates with you. You know this song by heart, this is your favorite songs among their every song which are also your favorite.

You waved the ARMY bomb on your hand to the beat and sang along with them after wiping your tears.

"Let’s make a door in your heart
If you open that door and go inside
This place will be waiting for you
It’s ok to believe, it’ll comfort you,
this Magic Shop"

Each and every boys walked to the crowd, and you felt giddy when they started approaching where you seated.

One by one, they walk in lines and smiled at each ARMY, occasionally linking their arms with them.

The first one are Suga, and you could swear you caught him looking at you, but you didn't sure because there are thousand of people here.

"You’ll be alright, oh this is a Magic Shop
So show me
(I’ll show you)"

Right behind him were Taehyung. He's singing, but his in-ear are off. Perhaps he prefer to hear ARMY singing together with them.

"You gave me the best of me
So you’ll give you the best of you
You found me, you recognized me"

Taehyung smiled at everyone, including you. Your heart do backflips when he laid his eyes on you. Because he was that beautifully ethereal, as so his other members.

"So you’ll give you the best of you"
So I’ll find you, the galaxy that’s inside of you"

This time RM and J-Hope walks by, and both of them waved at the crowd. But you felt very special among the others. J-Hope gave you a brief high five, and RM actually grasp your hand in his obviously big ones.

Their hands are very warm and calming, and you almost make a promise to never wash your hand that touched them.

Before you could promise yourself, the song changes to another song. This song however, you've never heard before.

The song filled with soft melody and lyrics that somehow you understand without knowing much Korean at all. It was about their stories and how they got to be there, standing before thousands of people.

"Oh I~ We were only seven
I~ But we have you all now"

The melody rolled off their tongue very sweetly, like cotton candy and honey milk on top of the clouds. The refrain now stuck on your mind for the next lifetime.

"We are, we are together bulletproof"

The boys are still walking, and you saw Jin blowing a kiss to the people near you. Until you saw a wink, but need to blink ten times to makes sure it was real. To make sure he just wink to your direction.

"We are, we are forever bulletproof"

Jimin sang all his heart to the line, and it reaches you. The words resonates deeply, not because it's in English, but because they included you. They included ARMY in this song.

That alone, manages to make you sob harder with happiness. It was too much, you think. You can't possibly return their overflowing sea of love.

"Yeah we are not seven,
with you"

The last one to walk in front of you was Jungkook. The last line sent shivers down your spine.

Jungkook bent down and serenade the last line again to you specially. It all felt unreal to you. Its almost impossible to be standing on a concert of BTS, let alone being serenaded by the one and only BTS's main vocal, Jeon Jungkook himself.

And at that moment, you finally understand everything, and that this is what your mother had talked about before.

"Goodbye, My Guardian Angels"

You whispered into thin air and wiped the tears on your cheeks, before the whole surrounding disappear and you found yourself staring at the familiar ceiling of your bedroom.

You woke up to find a piece of post-it on top of the table next to your bed, with a neatly written letters you've recognized from before.

.

"Always. We're always by your side.

After all, we're your Guardian Angels.

Our lovely ARMY."
