We are Bullet-Proof

'I looked at you and all I could think was, 'damn, that's my man!'

"VIP seats!" Mi Eun yelled, utterly surprised. Being Jimin's stylist, she was used to spending the entire duration of the concert running around backstage. But today, Jimin was to settle with another stylist and make-up artist because all the girls were granted a day off for the opening concert. Right now, supporting their soulmates was the top priority and thankfully, the company agreed. 

"Now, that's a surprise;" Sora remarked, taking the tickets from Sejin."The boys wanted to treat you," The older manager laughed, making his way to the door. "Your ride is here girls! Be quick! They'd like to see you before they get on stage." With that, he left.

"We better hurry up;" Mirae started running the brush down her black tresses. The girls had all gathered in Sora and Jin's room to get ready for the concert, given that it was the biggest. "Girls, do I look okay?" Sora turned to face all of them. "Real good, Eunnie!" Mishil assured, grabbing her jacket.

"I don't think this was a good idea," Soo-Ah came out, dressed in a black tank top with a matching leather skirt and a black leather jacket with silver chains.  Her hair was tied up in a ponytail and make-up was kept to the minimum. 

"Yeah it wasn't," Mishil shrugged. "It was a bloody fantastic idea!" Everyone else nodded in agreement. Since Soo-Ah was mostly seen in trousers and button-downs and blazers, this type of look was refreshing and sexy. 

"Gurl, be sure, Taehyung will not be to keep his eyes off you." Mirae nodded, grabbing her bag. "Or even his hands," Sora teased making blood rush up Soo-Ah's cheeks.

"Awww look at her," Mi Eun teased, "She's a cherry tomato!" "Aish! Someone seems to like the idea!" Mishil giggled, taking the chance to tease her best friend. 

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" Soo-Ah wailed, still blushing furiously and rushing out of the room. "Let's go girls," Sora laughed, grabbing her bag. The concert was gonna start in less than 2 hours and they had some soulmates to cheer on.

"Man, Jimin's gonna be pouty we missed sound check!" Mi-Eun shook her head seating on seats designated for them. "It's fine Mi," Mishil patted her head. "They'll understand that LA traffic was a bitch!" Even though she was gutted that she couldn't wish everyone good luck before the concert but circumstances were against it and they were helpless.

If anything, she certainly was pouty about not giving her amazing boyfriend and 'good luck' kiss before his concert but no one needs to know that.

"The set design is amazing!" Mirae waved at the large white Bangtan logo at the smack middle of the stage. "I know right," Sora awwed. "It looks so majestic!" 

"Army bombs at the ready guys! It's starting!" Soo-Ah reminded, fishing out her one. The girls got theirs out just as the lights dimmed and the giant screens lit up for the start of the concert VCR.

Just like the thousands of army bombs twinkling all over the stadium, the VCR started with thousands of light beams of multiple colours covering the screen. The scene changed into emerald green and then a blindingly bright white halo. The infusion of colours zoomed past and the screams peaked as now the screen showed the back and shoulders of the purple-haired golden maknae. Mirae screamed at the top of her lungs, her army bomb shaking. The girls soon followed, screaming and shouting as the scenes of the VCR unfolded.

"That's my man!!" Sora yelled as Jin appeared on the screen with his blonde hair and cherry red lips. The girls giggled, finding her very endearing. Soon the screams increased as the first notes of fire hit the speakers. Smoke blew from the stage and everyone's hearts hammered as the concert hall darkened for the last time in the next 2 hours.

Fire blew, and with a shuddering thud, the Bangtan logo began to part. "IT'S STARTING!" Soo-Ah screamed, making the girls inch closer to the edge of their seats. This was amazing!

"OH MY GOD!!" Mi Eun screamed as the first notes of Idol blasted through the speakers and there they were! The stars of the show. 

Dressed in their dark, shimmery princely jackets with golden appliques and frilly shirts; the boys looked freaking amazing! And the screams by this time were deafening.

As Namjoon opened the stage with the first line, his silvery blonde hair was set perfectly and the outfit made his body proportions stand out more than ever. Even though Hoseok took the stage, Mishi could not force herself to look away from the person who she called her soulmate. She was so freaking proud of him! 

"Girl, blink!" Soo-Ah yelled in her ear, breaking her out of the trance. Mishil didn't even spare a glance at her. At that moment and throughout the next hours, she was busy falling in love with him, over and over and over again.  

They were very much losing their minds as Hoseok performed his solo in a white suit that made him look mad handsome! "J-HOPE! J-HOPE! J-HOPE!" The cheers never stopped!

Mirae clutched onto Sora and Mishil's shirts as Jungkook performed his solo, making them worry if she was gonna rip them apart somehow. Their vocal cords had a field day when the boys came back to the stage to perform Run in starch white outfits. 

Mishil was a mess; punching the air, squealing and shouting when she saw Namjoon with that loose white shirt and white choker! 

Mi Eun lost her shit when Jimin appeared in that glittery white shirt, slapping the air like it would do any good. And the DNA happened and so did the outfit change. "DEAR LORD, TAKE ME!" Mirae screamed, pretty much summing the stadiums' collective reaction over the outfits. "I need to find out who put them in those leather pants!" Mi Eun wiped her mouth. "This is a dangerous game they are playing!" 

Given the entire stadium forgot these boys had faces due to the fact that they were performing Go Go in leather pants; yeah, Mi Eun sure wasn't exaggerating. And when Blood, Sweat and Tears happened? Let's just say the screams were loud enough to shatter windows within the 10 feet radius of the stadium. Again, not exaggerating.

They screamed the fanchant alongside ARMYs and belted over the songs until they sounded hoarse, waved their bombs until their arms felt numb but neither of them cared. They jumped like absolute fangirls when each of the boys spotted them, screaming, waving and smiling. This wasn't just a performance. This was art. This was Bangtan and ARMYs becoming one. 

And now, Mishil could understand better why they loved doing what they did. And why ARMY loved them. Because in these concerts, the media, the rumours, the fan wars, the criticism, the award, the voting; every goddamn thing ceased to exist. It was just Bangtan and ARMY; in their happy place. 

But if Mishil was being embarrassingly honest, other than the solo stages, she had a very hard time looking away from Namjoon. And she was pretty sure that was the same with the other girls too.

But that did not stop them from nearly passing out as Taehyung took the stage with a glittery long coat and sensual single. "KIM TAEHYUNG YOU MUSTN'T!" Sora screamed, clutching her shirt over her chest. The way he moved and sang; he held the entire stadium in a trance. 

"I think I'm gonna cry," Sora dabbed her eyes with tissues, already crying. Jin and ARMYs screaming 'I'm the one I should love' as one voice was too moving to not cry. 

As Mishil wiped away her tears, she could bet her ass that there wasn't a dry eye at that stadium. "That's my Worldwide Handsome," Sora smiled through her tears, her expression alone enough to convey how proud she was of her soulmate; as he hit the high notes.

Song after song went by and the girls screamed at the top of their lungs as BTS showered the entire stadium with enough body rolls with the Mic Drop dance break. Change of outfits into t-shirts and denim, the boys started running around the stage like kids on the loose. The energy seemed enough to burst the entire stadium apart. 

"My knees are about to fall apart!" Soo-Ah panted, as they finally sat down after jumping and vibing to So What. As the concert finally ended, and the fans finally began to shuffle away, 5 girls rushed past stylists, managers, staff and other crew members trying to get to the waiting room the earliest.

"Finally!" Hoseok laughed as Sora came in bursting through the doors. "They've been driving us crazy!" Their teasings fell on deaf ears as Mishil rushed past Jungkook and Mirae and leapt into his open arms.

"Hey!" He cheered, holding her tightly against him. "There's my girl!" Mishil was grinning ear to ear, beaming with pride and joy. "I'm so proud of you!" She gasped, still sweaty and hoarse-voiced from the concert. "So, so proud of you." 

"You guys lost your voices," Jin was utterly surprised. "Just how loud did you guys scream?" "Pretty sure the entire VIP section could hear us!" Soo-Ah laughed, her hand laced with Taehyung's.

"Babe, you shouldn't have!" Namjoon laughed, kissing her on the nose. "I couldn't help it! You guys were soo good!" Now he blushed. "I'm glad you liked it," 

"None of that Kim Namjoon," Mishil shook her head, still very much glued to him. "I loved it!" She beamed before standing on her tippy toes and gently kissing his lips.

That was the only explanation Namjoon had as to why he was soo jumpy and giddy after performing a 2-hour concert! Tiredness seemed to have lost to Mishil's kisses. 

Hey, loves! Another update for you all. And I've been seeing a lot of comments and reads in this book. First of all, thank you so much for that,

Falling into a regular pattern while updating this was hard but I intend of finishing this book by 2022. And given that we have only 10 or so chapters left, I think we can do this. Thank you for all the love with Bonded, even if I don't reply to the comments, I read every single one of them. And they make me grin like a mad woman. These comments and votes from you guys make my writing worth it.

Writing this chapter hurt my soul! Describing a BTS concert without ever experiencing one? Now that's hard! But I tried my best! And one day, I will make this chapter a reality.

That's it for this update. I hope you liked it. Let me know if you did in the comments and also, don't things seem too calm these days? I think I need to stir some trouble up🤔

No worries, that too will happen. I'll see you all in the next update. And don't worry. The next update won't be a month later, I promise.
