A few more months pass by. Mary has travelled to Belgium in mean time for a few weeks, in an attempt to find Sarah. Emma has been to Italy again. There is footage of Sarah leaving on a plane, but once in the terminal they lost her. The members are looking all over Korea too, but they need to soon be touring again.

They kick the tour off in Seoul, then they go to Japan. After that they go to USA and then Europe. Only to end it in Japan and back in Seoul.

Doenja is in mean time the head stylist. She climbed all the way up, and is comfortable in her position. She and Suga are dating at home only. And they are okay with just that. So chances they get caught is almost none. They also are very careful about it. Mary and V are also bit awkward so they don't often go out on dates either. RM and Emma are very much in love and are sleeping together in 1 room. Doenja took Emma's room so that RM and Emma can have hers. Since she is alone in a 2 person room anyway.

They are on the plane to Tokyo. When they land they will go to the venue in Osaka. Jin is excited. "I love Osaka!" "Sarah has been there once too. She loves Kobe more." Mary knows to tell. She is in charge to help Emma out in Japan, since she is fluent in Japanese. They take the train to their hotel. They are unloading their luggage and Jhope is just taking a rest from lifting the bags out of the trunk, when he sees a white floral dress in the crowd. He grabs another suitcase but then drops it. Sarah? He looks again for the dress, but he can't find it anymore. Big chance it was just another random girl in a white dress, I should try and get her out of my head and heart. I just miss her so much, I am seeing her randomly on the streets now... And his longing becomes stronger. They go to the soundcheck and the venue. They already saw ARMY line up. The whole stadium is sold out. They aren't nervous anymore. Instead they are hyped up and excited. "You'll see, the Japanese fans are the best. They are polite and don't do any weird stuff." They all are looking forward to having 100% pure fun on stage. They perform ON and move toward the middle stage. RM spots a white spot in the crowd but doesn't think about it. He is splashing his bottle of water out on the audience and taking in all the cheers from the fans. They are jumping on stage and playing around. "There is a girl with a special ARMY bomb in the audience. It's like a bridal bouquet." V mentions. "I think that is awesome..." Doenja is fixing RM's make up and stops. She walks to V. "How did she look like?" V is startled. "I...I don't know..." Doenja looks at Emma, and Emma nods. She puts on a facemask and walks from under the stage. She is looking into the audience, but can't find anyone. She comes back when the others are already back on stage. "And?" Emma shakes her head.

V is looking out for the girl again, but can't seem to find her anymore. Jin is dancing and looking at the audience. He is throwing his bottle in the audience and sees a rose sticking out. He waves and smiles. He blows a kiss at the rose. Suddenly his eyes open wide. He can't act strange so he just keeps singing. When it's not his part anymore he dances towards Jhope. Jhope immediately looks in the direction Jin just looked in. He dances to that side to see better. He sees a pale figure a bit further in the audience. She is wearing flowers in her hair. He almost missed his part and concentrates again, because RM is glancing at him with a bit of irritation. In the next break. "I SAW SARAH" Jin exclaims in the dressing room. "WHAT?" "She was in the audience. I am sure it was her." "Not possible... You could not have seen her that detailed... There might be a look a like. We are all missing her a lot, Jinnie." Jimin sighs "I am sure! Those eyes, I gazed into them more often than I care to tell you." Jin keeps going on about it. Jhope is sitting in the chair, getting dressed by one of the stylist noona's. "You know, I think I saw today when we arrived in the hotel, Sarah in a flower dress. But I am not sure it was her." "Guys, these are too coincidental! Come on!" Jin keeps holding on. "Jin, enough. We all miss her! So get your act together and lets bring this concert last part to a good end." They do their cheer and get up on the stage, but all of them can't shake the feeling of Sarah in the audience, cheering them on. The girls all wear a facemask and are also on the lookout in the audience.

At the last song, Jhope can see some people leaving already. Suddenly a flower dress is leaving. It's white, with a floral crown on. Brown long hair in wide curls that bounce when she walks. Fair white skin and chubby. He jump off the stage; wanting to reach her, but there are all these fangirls cheering. He just pretends he is doing a hand touch. At seeing Jhope jump of the stage, the others look in the same direction and see the same thing. The girl in a white dress is leaving the venue. After the concert is finished, they all are dying to get out of the venue quickly. They leave their makeup on, just jumping in their regular clothes and are quickly browsing for the white dress outside in the crowd. The girls all scream when they notice the members and they have no choice but return to their hotel. "We lost her again. We were so close." Jin says. "But at least we know she is in Japan..." "That could be, Japan healed her always. She speaks Japanese too. I think in a blind rush she just went to the place she feels the most familiar to. We all have been thinking it was Belgium, but it has always been Japan. When she was in Korea, she longed for Japan for so long." "Didn't she have a fanclub seat?" RM asks. "That's true! We should just check the Japanese ARMY fanbase for her contact info! Namjoon hyung, you are a genius!" They look at the venue map and find the seat number. They check which seat number was linked to the ticket. And then who the ticket was linked to. The name wasn't Sarah. It was a random other name. The hope they had for a while, all sank. "She is Japanese..." They all fall silent at the table again.
