The boys were exhilarated after the excitement of the previous day's show, and all their upcoming performances are completely sold out. Management has informed them that numerous celebrities and social influencers will be attending. Their extensive Western fan base continues to leave them speechless, emphasizing their global appeal as a boyband on the verge of taking over the world.

Yesterday, the female managers treated the Bells to an excursion, using the credit cards gifted by BangPD. Funsize, Samiya, Akira, and Ji-ho were all dressed in their cutest summer attire as they joined Ms. Cheong and female manager/bodyguard Sadé on a trip to Venice Beach and a crafts market called Calle Olvera. While the boys were engrossed in an intense rehearsal, the girls felt the need to unwind, explore, and enjoy the day.

Management secured a VIP Hyde Lounge on the top floors inside Staples Centre. The boys and their close senior staff had their private cubicles adjacent to the buffet lounge, with separate spaces designated for managers, bodyguards, and the dance crew. The lounge provided private waiters and offered a full-service buffet breakfast and lunch for the boys and the entire crew. After or during the shows, the entire crew and some off-duty management will relax in the Hyde Lounge.

The venue also features a full-service bar with special leather and deep, dark-colored plush seats adorning each suite. Several television stands are strategically placed, accompanied by a beautiful chandelier and deep plush carpets, all softly illuminated.

Big Hit hired specialized staff for the four-day show to safeguard the boys' privacy, particularly due to the esteemed and elusive Bells in attendance. BangPD is also in LA and will attend the final show along with some American Music label executives, hosted by management in the exclusive lounge. The entire suite overlooks the entire stadium, and those booking premium lounges will enjoy the spectacle of the ARMY ocean.

The view is spectacular, and the maknae line loves running up the stairs from the stage side to their private lounge, managed by several tall and strong American bodyguards and centre security.

The Staples Centre boasts around 150+ celebrity or VIP seatings, including a Hyde Lounge and an open bar offering the best stadium views. While the wealthy might spend almost $5 million a year as club members, the Agency obtained it for free, including all stadium amenities.

Celebrities have the opportunity to take photos with the band for a significant price, exceeding $10,000 depending on the band's status.

VIPs benefit from special private entrances and parking spots, allowing the boys to relax and have their lunches in the privacy of these suites, enjoying their time together. They can be themselves, engaging in banter, bickering, or running up the aisle as they please. Jungkook and Jimin particularly enjoy the premium seats, often hiding on the top floor, engrossed in their cellphones or social media, much to Namjoon's amusement.

Namjoon often shakes his head during rest periods when he notices the boys mysteriously disappearing inside the massive center with their soulmates. Soundcheck time is always relaxed and fun with ARMY. The exclusive fangroup captures numerous photos of the boys during this time.

The boys genuinely enjoy interacting with ARMY during soundcheck. Jin showers flying kisses to the 300+ VIP soundcheck fans, while Namjoon appears seemingly relaxed, although inwardly, his insides tremble. He can't comprehend why he suddenly feels so odd. His body temperature fluctuates, alternating between getting too hot or too cold, especially after a soulmark attack.

He was deeply concerned about the possibility of meeting his soulmate in America, fearing it could distract him from his responsibilities as a leader. The fact that his 'moonchild' was lost to him filled him with anxiety and depression. Seokjin-hyung made daily efforts to encourage him to stay focused, reassuring him that fate would handle its part.

Seokjin applied coolant plasters on his back shoulder to alleviate the heat emanating from his soulmark, but despite his efforts, it burned intensely, causing significant discomfort.

The second day's shows were incredibly exciting, and the boys, true to form, captivated their fans.

After the grand performance, Namjoon felt exceptionally weary. The demands of moving around on stage, rapping, and dancing had drained him of all energy. His body felt weighed down, and he yearned for a peaceful place to rest.

Despite the enthusiastic cheers and loud chants from ARMY, Namjoon needed time to unwind, relieve tension, and regain his energy. His shoulder ached from another soulmark attack during their stay in LA.

On the second day, Namjoon lacked the same energy as before, and the boys could sense his genuine fatigue. After the encore, he stumbled into the dressing room, sweaty and utterly exhausted.

The stylists promptly seated him comfortably and used electronic hand fans to cool him off. Slumped in his chair with closed eyes, Namjoon received care as the boys, equally exhausted, replenished themselves with energy drinks.

Habeom, their manager, entered the dressing room with concern. Despite watching Namjoon's entire stage performance, his demeanor indicated something was amiss. He appeared unwell and stressed, but luckily, only two stylists- noonas, and the boys with some of their soulmates were present in the dressing room.

 So they could be free. Funsize and Ji-ho are still with the video production team, watching the footage of the night. It will be part of Bangtan TV's new documentary, which is set to be released in November. Funsize was part of the cinematographers and the editorial team.

Seokjin informed management that their leader might be experiencing anxiety about the Unicef speaking engagement and the fear of making a mistake in front of a global audience.

Hobeom stood next to Namjoon, whose wet hair was being blow-dried by Samiya. She looked down with furrowed brows at the group's renowned leader, who seemed unnaturally exhausted. He had complained two days in a row about feeling nauseous. She had given him an Indian homemade remedy for nausea and even some before his night's rest.

Hobeom laid his hand softly on Namjoon's shoulder. "Joon, are you sure you're okay? You don't look well, my boy."

Namjoon inhaled intensely, enjoying the cool breeze of the fans held by two staff members and the cool dryer air.

He nodded tensely. "Yeah, I'm fine, hyung. Can I just have a cold bottle of water, please?"

J-Hope nodded, but concern was evident on his face. "Er... Kira will bring you a bottle as well as a cold compressor to cool your flushed skin. You are sweating profusely, as if you danced all the dance breaks by yourself," he remarked, smirking as his eyes followed his beautiful, reserved soulmate out. His affection for his girl was difficult to hide.

"Thanks... I guess I'm just a little weary," Namjoon replied with gratitude.

Taehyung, who was seated close to him, also looked concerned. "I think I have a theory—" but one shake of Seokjin-hyung's head made him pause in his statement. He thought that Joonie's soulmate was near.

Jungkook received his soulmark a year ago on his birthday. This year, they celebrated his birthday bash after the Seoul opening concerts. He was so relieved and elated that he wasn't branded as a Tarnished. He was not keen on dating forever after his 'secret girlfriend' got her soul mate a few weeks ago. Look at what happened to Jimin. He's a Whisperer who fell in love with a girl who isn't his soulmate, and he's still not over his past love.

Seokjin subtly winked at Taetae and grinned towards Joonie, saying, "No worries, management and the bodyguards will take us back to the hotel."

Namjoon's friends—Taehyung, Yoongi, and Jhope—thought that Namjoon's soulmate might be coming. He's showing the same symptoms Hobi had before meeting Akira—nausea and something new on the symptoms list, 'hot flashes,' like he hit menopause at almost 23.

The guys were getting their jackets and personal stuff while waiting for management. The Belles were really worried about their leader, but Sejin assured them that Namjoon would be okay.

Samiya quietly stood by Seokjin, giving him light touches to energize him. The happy smile on his face showed how content their eldest hyung was. The Belles discreetly stood near their soulmates, trying to avoid the new makeup interns' watchful eyes. Currently, only senior staff was with them.

Akira brought two ice-cold energy drinks and water for Namjoon. He used the cold compress on his flustered neck, giving her a slight bow in gratitude. She beamed softly as she stood behind Hobi, secretly touching his back. Hobi smiled constantly, just having her in his sight.

Yoongi lazily smiled, "So, are you joining us for dinner? I heard you've been feeling queasy since yesterday."

"He needs to eat to regain his energy and strength," Akira replied.

Jimin teasingly smirked, "It's a huge pity he hasn't met his soulmate yet. Holding her for a few seconds would've energized him, but a few hot make-out sessions would've supercharged him like a Duracell bunny." He teased Namjoon, who gave him a sharp look. The stylist noonas shook their heads, smiling at their natural flirt.

The group started to snicker as Jungkook playfully shoved Jimin. Jimin can be so 'extra '.

Jimin chuckled, "Don't look at me like I grew two dragon heads. Hobi told me, and I saw it firsthand with Yoongi. One lingering kiss behind a corner, and Yoongi forgets to take a nap."

Little giggles followed as Yoongi scrunched up his nose, muttering, "Can you just be quiet!"

Jimin playfully waggled his eyebrows at his favorite kitty with lion claws.

Jungkook chuckled and nodded, saying, "Sejin mentioned we're having Latin American food tonight. I'm so hungry right now. When are we leaving?" He whined with big bunny eyes, glancing at the open door.

It's not that he's really starving; he and Jimin bought a new online game and can't wait to play it. Sejin allowed the two youngest members to bring a PlayStation console to keep them out of trouble. They're eager because Saturday will be a rest day.

Taehyung smirked, "It's almost 10:30. Oh, here come the bodyguards. Thank goodness. I need to find my girl quickly." He grabbed the other two youngest members and hurried through the backstage.

Sejin entered with Ms. Cheong, who would discreetly escort the Belles. American paparazzi filled numerous cars in the public parking spot, hoping to catch a glimpse of the celebrities attending a BTS concert.

Fortunately, the management worked with local traffic police to ensure no one blocked the road or gate where the boys' SUVs would exit.

Namjoon felt better, thanks to his noonas' help, and followed the laughing boys out to the black vans waiting for them.

After returning to their respective hotel rooms to refresh, Namjoon, feeling exhausted, enjoyed a very cold shower that instantly energized him.

The management had booked the entire section of The Agave Library restaurant for a 6-course à la carte meal. The soulmates and the band had a private room. The dinner was relaxing, allowing them to reminisce about their time on stage and tease each other about their solo performances.

On the Saturday after their third-day show, they would have a well-deserved rest at the luxurious Ritz Carlton. The girls planned to enjoy pampering spa treatments, choosing most of the treatments from the brochures to experience them all. They had already indulged in a fashion shopping spree.

Earlier in the day , the boys would go with bodyguards and some management to shop at designer stores on Rodeo Drive and take group photos and just relax and explore.

 Namjoon, along with Hanbin (the manager) and a bodyguard, would discreetly visit his friend Jia at her Bel-Air penthouse. Demi would be visiting her ,after her being discharged from the hospital.

There was a segment of E-Entertainment that a famous female rapper was admitted in a private clinic and her doctors confirm she was there because of exhaustion. And all that she needs was a good rest. 

He desires the truth directly from her. Why did she involve him as the father of her child or a child that doesn't even exist?

█▓▒­░⡷⠂ʟᴀᴛᴇʀ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ɴɪɢʜᴛ⠐⢾░▒▓█

After dinner, Namjoon excused himself as some of the older members were in Seokjin's suite for a late-night drink and fellowship. Feeling tired, the group understood he needed some rest.

As he examined his shoulder in the mirror, Namjoon was shocked at the inflamed area around his invirso. His shoulder burned intensely, prompting him to call their team doctor for an injection to relieve the severe pain.

The senior management is now aware that the leader's single status is coming to an end, and the fact that he ended things with his 'so-called best friend' is no longer a factor. Now more than ever, all crew members are on high alert for any ladies in contact with the leader.

Namjoon turned off the room lights, switched on the bedside light to read one of his favorite novels. However, his mind was clouded, so he drank a glass of warm water and decided to sleep as it was already very late.

Namjoon was tossing and turning in his comfortable bed, disturbed by the weirdest dream. In this dream, he found himself running through vast palace halls resembling the opulent decor of French Versailles.

Strangely, he was dressed in princely attire, wearing a regal costume adorned with rich, vibrant colors. The finely tailored jacket featured intricate embroidery or elegant patterns, complemented by a crisp white shirt, tailored trousers, polished shoes, and a sash or belt.

In pursuit of a laughing girl with long copper-brown hair, he noticed a diamond and gold tiara adorning her glowing hair—a princess. Her elegant, flowy gown, draped in soft cream white, showcased intricate patterns made of shimmering gold pearls, creating a regal and luxurious feel. As she ran ahead of him, the fabric flowed gently, giving the princess an ethereal appearance.

Amidst the laughter, he chased her into a garden maze, where she suddenly halted, creating an eerie silence. Flapping wings of birds suggested an impending mysterious event. She turned around, but the dazzling sunlight obscured her laughing face, leaving him unable to see or recognize her.

Namjoon woke up that morning with a deep unsettled feeling of discontent, still contemplating the regal girl who seemed to be 'his girl,' his destined mate.

The third-day show was intense, and everyone was eagerly anticipating it with high excitement from ARMY. The boys gave their best, surprising everyone with how energetic and well-rested their leader looked despite his soulmark troubles. He danced around on stage, and his solo performance was amazing. He spoke with Army, showing his excitement.

People were amazed at how he transformed. After being with the boys on Vlive with Army that evening, he went to his room to work and practice the rest of his UN speech. Seokjin made sure to order him some drinks and delicious desserts to keep him motivated.

His phone rang beside him on the bed, and he quickly grabbed it to see the caller ID because he wasn't eager to talk late at night or when he was busy.

He sighed deeply when he saw Jia's name. He still felt anger for her tactics, and he hoped she would have a good explanation.

He took a deep breath and greeted quietly, "Hi, Jia."

Fortunately, it was her on the line. He was a bit too tired to talk with his sister or mom.

"Joonie?" she uttered with a trembling voice.

"It's me, Jia. Are you okay? Demi called me a few days ago, informing me that you were in the hospital," he said quietly.

"Er... yes. It was just stress and fatigue, but I need to see you. I'm at my penthouse in Bel-Air. Demi is also visiting me, but she'll be going somewhere with Melany to give us time to talk," she explained, but Joon could sense the nervousness in her tone.

"Is the baby okay? You sound depressed. Jia, you need to look after yourself. A demanding career and an unexpected pregnancy don't mix," he said with a hint of sternness.

He heard a little sob on the other side, "I know... I know, but it's so hard to concentrate on anything, Joon. Our official breakup is killing me inside. Losing you is incomprehensible. Did you perhaps receive any soulmark attacks? Please say no! I will not be able to live when you bond with someone. I love you, Joon... please come see me tomorrow."

Her voice sounded desperate. Namjoon furrowed his brows because she didn't once mention 'their' baby. He doubted she was aware of the 'bogus' pregnancy, or was she really pregnant?

Known as the 'god of destruction,' he certainly wasn't the 'god of the stupids.' He was confident that he took precautions during their lovemaking, making him question whether she cheated on him before or after their breakup. If she was truly pregnant, who the hell was the father that he had to take the fall for?

Jia's deceitfulness disappointed him deeply. Despite his love for her, the soulmark attacks in the past weeks predicted a strong red gold string, signifying he would be irrevocably in love with his soulmate at first sight.

Did she think he would willingly give up his soulmate now that he knew the truth? Definitely not! Even if the baby was his with the red gold string, he couldn't abandon what Fate had destined for him. He had waited almost five years for his soulmate to show up or his soulmark to react. He hoped she was an ARMY who loved their music; he wouldn't mind if she wasn't a celebrity.

Among the Bells, Akira was the only non-celebrity. Hobi was grateful she was safe and not on any radar, unlike Funsize, a model; Samiya, a former national beauty queen and famous pageantry judge; and Ji-ho, the fifth unofficial Blackpink stand-in for her sister Jisoo, who was also an actress.

His only regret in life was not pursuing Vicsy with all his might, realizing he had lost the prospect to see her for the last time before she married her arranged fiancé. Suddenly, a deep ache filled his heart, and he just wanted Jia to hang up.

"Jia, girl, I'll see you tomorrow. Please get some rest and stop fretting, okay? We'll talk about the future tomorrow. I'm a little tired right now..." he tried to be polite.

Jia took a laborious inhale, "Promise you won't abandon me?"

Where did that urgency come from? She was his friend, his only Korean girl 'friend' who was close like family.

"Jia, you are family. I will never abandon family. I'll still be your friend, but not in the romantic sense. Our agency is keeping tabs on me, and dating you is out of the question, Jia. Please understand my dilemma. You know I can only be with my soulmate officially, and she is the only one accepted after my dating ban is lifted in two years' time," he explained with bated breath.

"Oh my gosh! You... you met her already. Didn't you? Who is she? That's why you had to break up. She told you to break up with me, didn't she? What about me... us... the baby," she began wailing.

What the hell! He wasn't even the baby's daddy.

"Jia, please stop! You saw it coming. And no, I'm still single and luckless in getting my soulmate. I told you I'll tell you when she comes but not reveal her identity for obvious reasons," he could feel a headache coming. He was too tired to deal with Jia's antics.

"Jia, I need to hang up. Please sleep well. And stop fretting over menial stuff. I'll see you tomorrow," he greeted her and abruptly hung up without the customary 'I love you.' He wasn't in the mood for emotional manipulation.

 He knew Jia would wonder what was wrong with him, but right now, he didn't care.

█▓▒­░⡷⠂ꜱᴀᴛᴜʀᴅᴀʏ: ʀᴇꜱᴛ ᴅᴀʏ⠐⢾░▒▓█

After breakfast, he wished his brothers an awesome day ahead. He wanted to go shopping with them to buy designer bags and jewelry for his mother and sister. Currently, his sister is on holiday in Canada.

She's very blessed in love and met her soulmate two years ago in America—a Canadian documentary film producer. She promised to attend one of the three-day shows in Hamilton, Canada, where they were visiting her soulmate's relatives. She wants to celebrate his birthday with him.

The drive to Jia's penthouse in Bel-Air took less than 25 minutes from his hotel. His personal bodyguard and Hanbin escorted him to the private top floor where Jia's apartment was. Hanbin and his bodyguard stood outside the door, engaging in a candid conversation.

Demi opened the door, warmly embraced Namjoon, and planted kisses on his cheeks. Namjoon just smirked at Jia's best friend. She looked at his tall stature with admiration. Jia's penthouse was beautiful, adorned with earthy colors in browns and oranges. He loved hanging out with her during BTS' short hiatuses. They would play the shiny black piano and write songs together or just lounge on the grey plush sofas in front of the panoramic window view, watching the sunset with a glass of red wine.

"OMG! Joon, you're like super tall and cute, gosh," she playfully poked his deep dimple, " she said with a kind of worried expression.

"Jia's kinda down, but she's chilling in her room. She's ready to spill the tea. Oh, and she whipped up some Korean food for you – black noodles and veggies. Make sure to grab a bite, cool? Toodles!" Demi hastily uttered and with a friendly wave, she left the apartment.

Namjoon quickly exchanged his sneakers for plushie slippers and looked around, wondering where their husky dog was—maybe with her parents.

Namjoon furrowed his brows as he walked up the metal staircase with glass balustrades. Jia paid almost $15 million for this high-rise apartment, one of her best investments.

Jia was standing alone at the window, clad in a white and yellow tracksuit with fluffy white slippers. Her dark navy-dyed hair was in a short ponytail at the nape of her neck, and her pale skin indicated her inner turmoil.

When their eyes met, she ran up to him and hugged him tightly.

"Oh Joonie... you came!" she launched herself with a deep sob against his chest. Namjoon just rubbed over her back in a soothing manner.

"I'm here, Jia. What had you in such a state?" he inquired when he let her go after a while.

She bit her nails as she looked up into his raised eyes. He took a seat at the end of the bed on a fluffy seat.

"Jia?" he asked when he saw her eyes welled up again.

"I... I had a one-night stand with someone," she quickly said. Joon looked visibly shaken.

"What! Before or after we broke up."

Jia, with trembling lips, "A week before our Chile vacation. Just after you told me that your management wants us to stop seeing each other romantically. I was so shocked and distraught."

Namjoon narrowed his eyes, with his arms folded over his torso, "So you slept with someone else before we kind of hooked up in Chile again?"

Her lips pressed together as she nodded, ashamed, "Yeah. I'm so sorry, Joon. But we are not an item. It was only once, and both of us were unprepared—"

Namjoon stood up and paced around, looking quietly at a sobbing Jia. She was in a pitiful state, vulnerable and scared of her confession.

Namjoon inhaled deeply, "So the baby is not mine. Is it true?"

She nodded, biting her lips, "I'm sorry, Joon."

Namjoon shook his head in disbelief, "So you knew I wasn't the dad, yet you insisted I was? Even if we were thoroughly protected? You placed the blame on me, and I had to take the fall. Gosh! Jia! Why?" he looked flabbergasted.

Jia, with a whimpering voice, "I didn't know I was pregnant, and I didn't know who the dad might be. Until he confronted me due to a system rigging. I had to confess because the date was a week before we hooked up. I'm so sorry, Joon. I love only you. I didn't cheat on you. Please believe me. I wanted to be with you for the last time. Our final goodbye. But then I got unexpectedly pregnant."

"Oh my goodness! So what now... what about the baby and his dad... who is he?" he looked at her with deep disappointment for not coming clean sooner, thinking about his mental agony and the potential damage to his career and reputation.

"I lost the baby, Joonie, because of severe stress. I had a miscarriage at the mansion, but my personal doctor attended to me at home and kept it secret because nobody knew I was pregnant. Only you and Demi, and now the dad, but he doesn't know I lost it. So, three days ago, in Mr. Rhymes' recording studio here working on a track in LA, I collapsed due to stress and exhaustion," she sniffed.

"I'm sorry for your loss. Why didn't you tell me sooner? So, this guy you hooked up with, when and how did it happen?" he asked, still shocked at the revelation and the loss of the baby.

Jia sighed and climbed onto her bed, looking at Namjoon with deep regret, "He was a Tarnished guy. We are from the same label. The two of us did a collab on a track, and it was the time you told me the bad news. I was so sad, and during an album launch party of another artist, Junaid and I just clicked, and it just happened. We were a bit drunk. After our break-up, I felt so loved... but after the vacation, all the stress started. He got his late whisperer mark and soon met his soulmate. He loves her, Joon. An entertainment lawyer. We respect each other, but there is no romantic love between us." She wiped the moisture under her weary eyes, "I'm sorry for putting you through so much pressure and stress amid your already stressful schedule... You are free, Joon," misery edged her entire demeanor.

"And the saddest fact is that I lost a chance for being a mom and, most importantly, I lost the only man that I love with my whole heart since we met as stupid 19-20 year olds. You must truly despise me now," she said with a pained voice.

Namjoon looked saddened at her heartbreak, "I am a little bit mad. I was ready to reject my soulmate for you, marry you, and be a family with our baby. And I'm glad you decided to come clean." He didn't want to alert her that he was flagged as - not as the alleged dad.

And he concluded, softly, "I don't hate or despise you, Jia. I still regard you as my best friend that messed up big time. Be careful with your affections after this debacle. Remember, you might get a late whisperer soulmark, and happiness can be for you too. Remember, talent is a gift from above, fame is from man, but self-conceit is from the self, so be careful in the future and the choices you make."

"Yeah, Joon... do you regret being with me... intimately. I'm sorry I stole what belongs to your soulmate?" she asked in a small voice. Namjoon came and stood next to the bed and pulled her up into his arms, embracing her softly.

Namjoon snorted softly, "No, I chose to be with you, Jia, and don't crack your head up like that. You are not my first," he chuckled softly.

Jia pulled her head back and looked at him with raised eyebrows. His eyes shone amused at her surprised facial expression as she started to laugh.

"Gosh, I was almost a bit smug that I was your first. But if you meet your soulmate, will you let me meet her discreetly? I already feel jealous about her, that she will have your undying love and devotion. I know she will match your intelligence and wit. I wouldn't be surprised if fate gives you a governor's or a president's daughter. You are a real catch, Joon, and I wish you all the best ahead," she smiled warily.

Namjoon nodded and sighed deeply, "If I meet her. So, you will be coming to our final show then. It will be a blast."

Jia nodded with a tired smile, "Yeah, Demi and Melany want to take photos with BTS. They're not scared to pop out for that picture with you guys. They booked a premium lounge to watch the show in style. One good pic with you on Instagram will make them gain a few thousand followers in a second. Now I'm curious to know who popped my Joonie's cherry..."

Namjoon started to snicker, "That is one scandalous secret I will take to the grave with me. So, no amount of prying will let me spill the beans. Come, Demi said you made me some black noodles. Come feed me, please..."

She smiled deeply into his beautiful eyes, took his hand, and walked down the steel stairs towards her dining room.Still aware of the fact that Joon is single and his love for her is still effective. She was not ready to loose him...ever.

█▓▒­░⡷⠂ᴅᴀʏ 4: ʙᴛꜱ ꜰɪɴᴀʟ ꜱʜᴏᴡ⠐⢾░▒▓█

Vicky pov

The much-anticipated show day finally arrived. Nervousness filled your inner being, accompanied by a slight nauseous feeling in the pit of your stomach. Everyone attributed it to your excitement about seeing your favorite member in action.

Jin-Goo visited early on Saturday morning, informing you that Count Eduardo would be returning from Denmark. He missed you and hadn't heard from you in three days. Feeling guilty for forgetting to text him, you were caught up in the excitement of being with your friends and enjoying the best of LA.

Your two friends were delighted to see Prince Jerk and playfully exchanged glances with Tala. Tala was secretly happy to reunite with her soulmate, and you didn't mind when she mentioned spending the last few nights in LA in Jin-Goo's suite. You had a hunch that Jin-Goo was falling for his tiny, sassy soulmate, and Tala still harbored feelings for him. Meanwhile, Hwannie was back in Seoul with her great-grandmother.

Opting not to stay alone in a suite, Tyrella told you that she would be your guest for the weekend since Junaid was away. It was enjoyable being with Tyrella, and you were utterly shocked when she confided a deep secret. She revealed that Junaid was the father of Park Jia's baby. Joon's supposed best friend had called to share that Jia had lost the baby, and they were free to live their lives. Tyrella radiated joy as she shared this news.

You couldn't help but wonder how Joonie must be feeling, considering he was dating Jia the last time you chatted, even though that was weeks ago. Did they break up, or did she cheat on Joonie? Joon told you that he will only break up with her if he finds his soulmate. The thought lingered, and you couldn't shake the feeling of a slight depression, wondering if Joon had found his soulmate, especially with their agency guarding the Belles like national treasures.

The night before the concert, the girls gathered in your suite to plan outfits. Tyrella had already chosen an outfit you bought from designer stores – a cute leather chocolate brown short, brown gladiator sandals, and a short brown , green and orange tube top, exposing your midriff. It was a daring look you weren't used to.

Feeling uneasy about showing your belly button, Tyrella had a solution. She brought a see-through gold knitted jersey that reached your mid-thigh without obstructing your style. She also planned to wear a beautiful sleeveless leather top. Shaniqua and Tala hung their clothes in preparation for getting ready in your suite.

Tyrella had already planned your dramatic makeup, and Shaniqua ordered burgers, chips, sodas, and decadent desserts from the hotel's restaurant. The night was spent enjoying each other's company while getting ready for the big event.

"We gotta grab our see-through bags or backpacks. Toss in your juiced-up cell phones, tickets, phones, a portable charger, Bangtan bomb, cash, a hoodie or jacket in case it gets a bit chilly, water bottles, snacks, and a blanket. Keep it real!"Tyrella went over the checklist.

"It's gonna be wild, you know? BTS is massive, selling out arenas. ARMY's blowing up, thousands strong. Get ready for the hype!" Shaniqua informed you.

"So, what is the big concert surprise?" Tala asked, curious. You were also dying to know.

Tyrella beamed happily, she opened her bag and retrieved lanyards.

Your eyes widened as she gave each of you a lanyard. It was VIP.

Tala gasped, shocked, "Omg! What does this mean?"

Tyrella chuckled with a smirk, "Alright, buddy, Junaid pulled some strings and hooked us up with a VIP lounge, top-notch seats. We can get snacks from the main spot, and the servers will bring it to us. We can peep the show on screens or chill on leather seats while watching. Plus, we got VIP standing tickets and soundcheck tickets. If we're beat from standing or need a break, we can hit the stairs to the lounge and kick back."

You and Tala were super hyped up.

Tyrella grinned, "Oh, and... no queues for us. We've got a special entrance where they'll scan our tickets, and we'll be escorted to a private elevator leading to the lounges. We're on the 1st level. The billionaire clubs usually occupy the 2nd and 3rd levels. BTS will most likely occupy the majority of the 3rd level suites, which are the VIP sections, and the stairs might be hidden backstage." Tyrella mused. Her happiness was evident.

"Gosh, I can't wait to see our bias up close," Shaniqua sat there with dreamy eyes.

Tyrella smirked, "You'll be able to see our sexy brain up close," she waggled her eyebrows.

You just waved dismissively, "They might not be entertaining ARMY at our section. To have standing tickets would mean a lot of pushing and pulling."

"We can catch the last leg of the show on the floor, if you want, getting that VIP treatment. Security will hook us up on a good side near the stage. Our primo lounge is right by the stage area, so no stress. Junaid's tight with the Lakers ballers LeBron and Davies. This night is gonna be lit!" Tyrella said with a grin.

The excitement was palpable in the hotel room.

The next day, you were all decked out in your trendiest clothes. Jin-Goo wasn't impressed with Tala's short dungaree shorts and a pink boob tube underneath, paired with high-top converse. Tala simply ignored him. Shaniqua and Tyrella looked awesome in their shorts and trendy tops. Your security detail, Jin-Goo, and Amadi trailed behind you, letting you enjoy the experience.

Your makeup was done with a dramatic flair. You had pink shades on, and Tyrella advised you to go to the venue three hours before the gates opened. The queues to the merch lines were not yet long, so you could buy some face stickers. You had two logos on your cheeks – BTS and Army logos. Tyrella and Shaniqua got fans with your bias faces and other interesting memorabilia. Tala grew an admiration for the maknae, Jungkook, so she got mostly Kookie merch.

As you looked back, you saw a huge line of excited Army members. They took photos at a special photobooth where you could take a digital photo sitting next to your bias. It was so cool. You took one with Namjoon, and your heart raced just thinking about him. You had no idea why you suddenly felt breathless.

VIPs could use the special entrance. After the security check, you were escorted to your lounge. You were flabbergasted at how high you were. You could see everything from the top – the big screens on the stage. Your security detail, Jin-Goo, and Amadi would watch the show from the lounge, where they could eat and drink to their hearts' content. Tyrella ordered snacks, food, and drinks for the group staying to watch the show from the top.

You sank into one of the plush leather seats, exchanging a beaming look with Tala. It felt surreal, reminiscent of the treatment the royal family received at national sporting events. Typically, your brothers would attend these events to ensure your safety, especially given Prince Inos' stalkerish tendencies.

You and Tala were buzzing with excitement, although a hint of nervousness lingered in the pit of your stomach.

The soundcheck was thrilling. You made new friends with fellow ARMY members dressed in BTS Merch. Positioned four rows from the stage, your eyes were fixed on Joonie as he engaged with the front-row ARMY. He appeared so mature and irresistibly attractive. Suddenly, you felt a wave of heat throughout your body, prompting you to gulp down a whole bottle of water to combat your desert-dry mouth. Shivers ran up your spine, and a mix of unfamiliar emotions swept over you, especially at the sight of the illegal sexy Joonie. Making recall your prom night together.

Tyrella and Shaniqua stood, screaming and waving their Army bombs with contagious enthusiasm. Unaware of your internal turmoil, they watched Namjoon commanding the stage. Positioned about 20 meters away, barricade fences separated the stage from overzealous fans. Tala joined the chorus of loud chants, her face flushed with excitement.

While you enjoyed the soundcheck and the maknaes' playful antics, a strange detachment lingered. As time passed, just before the official start of the show, an overwhelming sense of anticipation, mixed with a hint of fear, saturated the air. It felt as if you were eagerly awaiting something extraordinary. The atmosphere buzzed with a mysterious energy, sending tingles down your spine. Whether the upcoming revelation would be amazing or slightly unsettling, the suspense created a magical anticipation, stirring both uncertainty and excitement.

Tyrella peered down at you, still seated with vacant eyes on the empty stage. While excited  fans settled into their designated seats, security personnel assisted with seat numbers.

"Vicky, you good? You look like you've just seen a ghost," Tyrella teased, waving her hand in front of your lost-in-thought demeanor.

Tala chuckled at your bewildered expression, "I think she was too shocked to see her sexy bias in real time." She patted you on the shoulder, causing you to blush bright red as you blinked.

Shaniqua laughed and pulled you up by the hand, saying, "Come on, let's chill with Amadi and the crew in the lounge. I gotta hit the restroom and grab some sodas."

You silently stood up, following the crew up the vast flight of stairs. Tala glanced down at you with concern, asking, "Vicky, are you sure you're okay? It seems like you left your spirit somewhere."

You nervously smiled at her, "I'm just a bit overwhelmed by the massive stadium and all the fans. It makes me feel dizzy."

Tala laughed, "It's so exciting! Don't you think?"

"Yeah," you replied softly, looking around the venue that was filling up with highly excited ARMY.

A friendly security guard stationed at the gate scanned your passes before letting you inside your VIP seats. Your "parent security" marveled at how Namjoon, your old classmate, had evolved into a sterling mega star. Jin-Goo's piercing eyes darted toward you as he and Amadi sat on high bar stools, drinking ciders. He wondered how you felt seeing the boy you'd been in love with since middle school. He sincerely hoped that you would soon get over your crush on the superstar.

You all spent time laughing and talking about the upcoming show.

The stadium was packed to capacity. ARMY was screaming every time the boys' faces appeared on the big stage screens. They waved their Army bombs, creating a purple ocean while singing in unison with all the music videos shown.

Shaniqua kissed Amadi, and the four of you descended down the stairs armed with your light sticks and cellphone cameras. The intense atmosphere made you feel light-headed with anticipation.

When Namjoon and the boys entered the stage, the entire area erupted in deafening shouts and yells. Namjoon welcomed the crowd, and the boys were introduced.

The pulsating beat echoed through the arena as vibrant lights danced in sync with the electrifying performance. BTS commanded the stage with unparalleled energy, their seamless choreography and powerful vocals captivating the audience.

A sea of ARMYs, united in euphoria, was in unison, waving their Army bombs, creating a breathtaking ocean of purple colors. The members' charisma and connection with fans turned the concert into a transcendent experience, leaving lasting memories of a night filled with music, passion, and collective joy.

Some fans were so overwhelmed by the boys up front that they fainted during some performances. In the VIP ground area, fans couldn't contain their elation from seeing the boys right in front of them, interacting.

It was surreal. Cameras were capturing every magical moment. J-Hope had so much stage presence, Jimin was flirty with ARMY, and you loved Namjoon's solo and the amazing rap line.

Then came the encore stage before the official end of the LA Show. The group ran on stage, waving at ARMY in different sections.

Then they moved to your side of the stage. That section screamed loudly as Namjoon, Seokjin, and J-Hope bowed down in front of ARMY to capture some pics. They were making cute aegyo expressions. Your section was beyond excited, and you could clearly see their glowing faces. Namjoon was playing around, and those mesmerizing dimples captivated you. Suddenly, from nowhere, a strong pull among the lifted , flashing cameras drew Namjoon's gaze to you...

In that quick moment, a deep emotional connection flared as your gazes met. It felt like the world stopped, and an unspoken understanding passed between you. The spark of love lit up, showing in your amazed eyes, revealing a shared awareness that went beyond words. Time seemed to freeze as the depth of your feelings echoed in that initial glance, creating an unspoken bond that spoke volumes about the magic of connecting at first sight.

Namjoon's jaws hung open as he blinked several times, looking at you in awe. Nobody exist that moment only you.It was like the most breathtaking moment when just one look made his heart skip a beat. Awe set in as both of you were captivated by the intensity of emotions sparked by a single gaze, realizing that something special had ignited within you. You were connected by fate. Destiny had met you.

The feeling of complete surprise that you connected with the love of your life was so overwhelmingly shocking. In that moment, everything became a blur, and a sudden weakness overtook you. The world faded away, and you lost consciousness, as if a switch had been turned off, leaving you temporarily unaware of your surroundings...

She was ethereal beautiful in the flashing lights, with long dark hair framing her cute face. A happy smile crossed his lips as he noticed she was a fan, her cheeks flushed with the sparkling glows of BTS and Army stickers on her face.

However, he was caught off guard by the shock in her blinking eyes. Suddenly, she slumped down, but one of her friends caught her before she landed on the floor. She was leaning limply on her friend, who was shocked beyond measure.

 The oblivious Army continued to cheer, while Seokjin quickly jumped up, alerting security about another fan who had fainted. As a reluctant  Namjoon and the other two hyungs moved away from the section, he whispered something profound to Seokjin, who looked both shocked and elated. Seokjin wasted no time and informed one of their managers, who immediately took charge from the security guard that held up Namjoon's newly found  soulmate. 

An agency bodyguards immediately intercept carrying her superlight posture bridal style,backstage to the private Hyde lounge where she could be safe. One of her friends were allowed to accompany her, while the others went to inform her parents about her condition.

Namjoon felt a mix of happiness and concern for his cute soulmate. His hearts pull was at the lounge to be with his soulmate. The whole group had to return to the main stage to give a final bow as glittering streamers filled the arena for their last farewell.
