After getting changed into the costume that we will need for the next part of the concert , and getting my wig on, and makeup done, I rush back to the room where the fan meet is being held. But this time, I enter through the secret entrance so that none of the ARMY can see me. Basically, it's a door which leads me underneath the platform/stage where BTS is sitting. Above me, I can hear the members laughing and joking while answering questions from some ARMYs. I hear one ARMY ask, "So what is going to happen next"... well she is not really an ARMY, she is a placed staff member, but I guess in a sense all the staff members are fans of BTS, so I guess she can be called an ARMY.

That's the cue for the hidden trap door above me to open. The floor under me rises, and I position myself so my back is facing the audience. I rise up, center stage...right in front of Namjoon. He gives me a smile, and with that, I turn around imitating the smile on my face to mask the nerves I'm feeling. "I can answer that question for you." And then I wink. Ewww I know cringe, but the audience goes wild. Minny bursts through the background behind the boys, and the crowd gasps in surprised delight.

"Ewwww you winked." She hits me in the back of my neck.

"Ex-ex-excuse you! I'm older than you! Show me some respect!" I exclaim holding the back of my neck.

Minny rolls her eyes, "only by a month."

"A month, 3 days, 5 hours, and-"

"22 minutes," we say at the same time.

"Will you two please please please stop OhHhhh!" Bomi says climbing the stairs on the side of the stage and trips right in front of Taehyung.

"Ouch~" Bomi sighs, and picks herself up.

"Do you need any help?" Taehyung asks.

"Thanks for the offer, but I'm already up ah-whoooah~" and down she goes again.

Everyone laughs, except me and Minny who are

a) used to Bono's clumsiness (that's the reason why we only use plastic bowls and plates in the dorm, but it's okay because they are really cute, and have animated animals on them) and

b) because no matter how hard I try, Minny never used honorifics with me, and like I get that we are friends and everything, but in some situations, as a human being, I just want her respect! It's like the problem Jin-oppa had with Jungkook, but like not that bad.

We are too busy glaring at each other to notice Mok come over and slap us both harshly with a crack to the back of our heads, which forces us forwards so that we bow to each other.

"Apologize! We are on stage in front of hundreds of people who are filming us. Behave!" She hisses at us. We both gulp and mumble our sorrys. Mok then turns to the audience, her award-winning-mind-wiping smile on her face. "I apologize for the spectacle my members have put on, but let us formally introduce ourselves." She nudges me and Minny, and Bomi makes it to us in one piece. "Hana, du, ge-, ode. Geode ibmida" we all bow together in a straight line, and the crowd cheers.

"I'm so sorry." Bomi fixed her hair, "that was supposed to be a cool entrance where we all appeared on stage in different ways, and it was supposed to look really cool, and take you all by surprise, but it didn't work."

From the back of the room, someone shouts, "It's fine Bomi-ah! Don't worry, you looked really cool."

"Yah, don't worry Bomi!" Everyone cheers. Bomi immediately brightens.

"Thank you, everyone!" Bomi cheers.

"We didn't just come and crash BTS's fan meet just so that we can just say hi. We came here to put on a mini show. In the concert that will be happening later today, we will be doing all original songs, but we wanted to do some covers. This will be both BTS and Geode cover time! So please enjoy!~" Mok announces, and with that, the staff clears off the table and chairs. We all clear the stage as well, leaving Bomi on stage.

Bomi introduces the first song to the audience as "This has been a highly requested cover to done again. I for one, died when they did this cover. This is Jimin's and Jungkook's Coming is Age Ceremony!" 

*A/Note, for all covers, the costumes worn by the members are the same as the video unless otherwise indicated*

https://youtu.be/ntLvnghIjy4

And of course, the crowd dies when they do this again. Tae and I on the sidelines do the cover with each other. We don't have the hats, but we improvise and just mime having the hats. Of course, we don't do it as well as Jimin and Jungkook considering the only practice we put into the dance was copying and watching Jimin and Jungkook practice... well he thinks that I learnt it from videos, which I kinda did no lie, but as a "guy" we practiced the dance together on the sidelines when Jimin and Jungkook were practicing) We mess up a couple of times, most notably when we crash into each other during the middle part of the chorus when we are supposed to be one behind the other.

"I think that was a lot better than what they did out there." Tae looks at me with the light of the stage glinting in his eyes.

I snort, "I'm sure that there is going to be a fancam that comes out later today titled, 'V and B's sexier cover of Jk and Jm's Adult Ceremony Dance'"

"Of course there will be. But I can hardly say that it's a fancam if it's one of your own members who is filming." Tae gestures to Bomi who nervously hides her phone away.

I laugh, "No, she is definitely a fan, so it qualifies as a fancam. I wouldn't surprised if she is uploading the video right now." We both look over and see Bomi typing away like a madman.

"Is she tweeting it right now?" Taehyung asks nervously, "If not, then why does it look like a devil has possessed her. I didn't know that human fingers can move that fast."

I laugh, "Nope, she's just the average fangirl."

Her camera points at us again, and I can see her lips move, "For the gram."

"Bomi Moon! I swear if you put that on our instagram I will-" Tae clamps a hand over my mouth.

"Shhhhhhh there is a performance going on."

Oh, shoot it's almost my turn. I leave Tae to do his off stage rapping to go find Minny.

"Thank you ARMY! I love you so much!" I hear Jimin announce. I finally find Minny, and we do a quick mental prep, which mainly consisted of me freaking out, and Minny giving me a nice solid slap to make me forget my nerves. "The next cover is from the second place winner from Unpretty rap star..."

As Geode's rap line, we were deciding between a couple of artists including: Hyuna, Zico, GD, Top, CL, Cardi B, even tracks from the BTS' rapper line's mixtapes.

But in the end, we both decided that we wanted to choose a female rapper who has a lot of confidence in herself and is comfortable with who she is. Jessi. We really wanted to perform Spirit Animal, and at first, we got shut down because it was deemed to be too "inappropriate" because of the swearing. But eventually, we convinced our managers that that was the message we wanted to send out. That Jessi is a bad ass bitch who is comfortable with herself and is trying to tell her fans that they should be comfortable with themselves. She shows her levels of comfort on the stage by being able to be so open with her fans.

"Put your hands together for Geode's rap line performing Jessi's Spirit Animal!" Jimin announces

We come out wearing fitted tracksuits. I have a white bandeau with the three black Adidas stripes on the side under my armpits and the tear-away button up white track pants with the black stripes running down the side of the leg. I have the pants unbuttoned to around mid-thigh to expose my fishnets and black laced up booties. Minny has on a black bucket hat with a black tracksuit jacket with the white Adidas stripes running down the side of the arms which she wears unzipped and hanging off one shoulder. Underneath the jacket, she has on a black bandeau and is wearing tear-away black track pants that are buttoned at her hip to mid-thigh, and also buttoned at her ankle. For shoes, she has on the white lace-up heeled booties. And how could we be doing a Jessi cover without the hoop earrings?

We change some of the lyrics to fit us, for example changing the beginning to: " Oh my god, Oh my god is that Minny/B" where we each said each other's names.

As we go through the song, we feed the audience energy, and they feed it right back to us. The song ends, and we find our way off the stage.

Mok comes out on stage already in her costume, "How has this cover concert been so far?" The crowd cheers loudly indicating how they are liking the concert, which is a relief because they seem to be enjoying it. "Good because we have only really started! Next Geode will be performing three girl group dances. We choose them because of their vibe sort of fits with our concept for our title track. So up first, is Blackpink's Whistle!"

Minny and I do a quick change to get ready for the next cover that Geode will be performing as a group. All of us being ARMYs, really wanted to do a BTS cover, but we thought that would be weird because I am in BTS.

Whistle  is perfect because Blackpink has four members, Geode has four members, so we didn't have to change anything for the dance formations. Minny is Jennie [because they are both fashionistas (and although we can't afford high-end clothes yet *coughing at the Human Gucci, and person who should model for Gucci*, hopefully someday we will be able to buy whatever clothes we want) and amazing rappers with an overpowering stage presence. Also, both of the girls are straight savages]. Bomi is Jisoo [We decided this because, for one, Bomi sings like an angel just like Jisoo, two, they are just both such adorable little fluffballs, three, they both love food a lot, four, she must be protected at all times. (protecting her from the world, and vice versa when she is hungry)] Mok is Rosé (because Mok's voice is just so amazing, and when she feels herself, she does so by doing numerous amounts of hair flips, which of course we have to make fun of)). And that makes me Lisa (because as the members claim that I act like the maknae even though I'M NOT. Personally, I think that Minny acts really childish and is rather irresponsible, and Bomi is just a complete baby. There are also some not so flattering photos of me out there being used as memes because every breathing moment of my life is just so awkward and memeable.)

https://youtu.be/6F0UWgSSQqU

Tae comes out to introduce our next song, and as we pass him to get off and do a quick costume change, he flashes us a smile and two thumbs up. Just the fact that Tae came onto the stage renewed the cheers from the crowd. Man, these fans are going to be horse even before the actual concert starts. Tae just smiles at the crowd and sends out hearts. I swear someone in the front fainted. Tae raises the microphone to speak, and the cheers grow louder. Wow, only for a legend. But it's good because this is giving us more time to change. "Are you guys liking Geode's performances yet?" There are thunderous screams and yes oppas. "Good because all of you should support my dongsaenges! So please welcome them back for the 2nd out of 3 group covers. YERIn for a treat because WENDYs girls hit the stage, I'm sure you will all enJOY their performance. IRmEAN they killed it with their first two performances. It'll SEULGIt lit on the stage. Next up, Geode covering Red Velvet's Bad Boy!"

The reason why we wanted to do this cover because it's amazing. And mainly because I wanted to wear the costumes that they wore (or something similar to what they wore on their live stage).

Manager-noona wanted us to do another song from Red Velvet (like any title track from their previous comebacks, excluding Peek-a-boo) because she thought that the vibe from Bad Boy and Whistle is kinda similar, and she wanted us to showcase that we are flexible artists, and can suit any style. But we decided altogether since our album also taps into those vibes, it would be okay for all our group covers to be that sexy, bad-ass, independent woman vibe. 

Bomi takes Wendy because she can easily hit the high notes. Minny takes Irine because they are probably the only two people I know who can pull off pigtails and looks so cute-yet-grownup. I take Joy because I wanted to wear the costume that she was wearing (honestly the fur that she had on). And so Mok takes Yeri and Seulgi and she wore Seulgi's costume, which I'm extremely jealous of because Seulgi looked smashing

https://youtu.be/sF7hV9xt3fc

We wrap up the song, and once again rush off the stage to do another costume change. This time, Hobi comes out which elicits cheers to which he smiles warmly out to the crowd. He waves out to the crowd and sends hearts out while making cute sound effects. "Wasn't that amazing? Wahhhhhhh~ I'm starting to get hot up here because that cover was so fire" He starts taking off his blazer antagonizingly slow, and people lose it. Hobi's smile widens, and he laughs before fixing his blazer back on him. "But don't worry because the next performance will leave you cool you down, and leave you trembling." He mock trembles "DulDulDul... That's right everyone, here is Geode's cover of EXID's DDD."

Although EXID is a five-member group, Solji has been out for a while with hyperthyroidism, and even though she is getting better, and even helped in the recording process and jacket cover photos, she hasn't taken part of the promotions. So, the dance only had four people which means that we didn't need to change any part of the dance.

Of course, Minny has to be Hani, because duh... they are both the main visual for their groups. I take LE because nobody wants to see Bomi or Mok rap... unless if they are drunk cause that makes the painful experience funny. Bomi takes Hyerin's part because they both match each other's look. Like precious angel baby... both of them. So that leaves Mok with Jeonghwa, who are both honestly both boss women.

https://youtu.be/AJwo-h0LE_o

When we finish the song, Mok and Minny stay on stage, and Bomi and I rush off to go... surprise surprise... change. Okay, so like I get that each cover having its own costume makes it cool, and gives the vibe to the performance, but like there are so many costume changes, and I'm not even halfway through all of them yet!

"That concludes all of the group dances we have prepared today. Thank you so much for watching!" Mok announces.

"Gomabseubnid" Minny bows to the audience. "I personally had a lot of fun doing those covers because to me all those songs are just so sexy and empowering."

"I agree completely. These songs were made for amazing women, so make sure you and check them out, even though I'm sure many of you stan them already... Can I tell you guys a secret?" Mok asks whispering the last part.

"Yes!" the audience cheers, wanting to know the secret.

Mok smiles, and have to blink several times forgetting where they are and what they are doing because of her smile."Our manager was nervous for us to perform those songs because she thought that their concepts were too similar. Can you show our manager-noona how much you enjoyed our performance so she can stop worrying?"

The crowd goes wild, and I see manager-noona sigh in relief and place her hand to her heart.

 "But we decided to please our manager-noona, by making 2/4 of the covers we are doing in pairs a change of pace." Minny says looking over to our manager-noona, and smiling, "So please welcome to the stage, a cover which I would rate 7 out of 7, Geode's B-line (because both their names start with B, and they are such babies) performing You Are from Got7!"

Dressed in all white, Bomi and I run out and take our positions. Bomi covered most of the singing, although we did harmonize for the chorus, and I covered most of the rap lines.

https://youtu.be/YRGjQ850ONQ

After we finish the song, we bow together. 

"I hope that was a nice break from the harder, almost grungier songs that we did before. I know that for me, this song has always felt like a breath of fresh air." Bomi smiles tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, a habit she always does when she is a tad bit nervous.

"Well I definitely need some more breaths...just in general, hold up and let me have a moment to breath and enjoy the moment. Afterall, it's not every day that you are able to perform in front of such a great audience!" The crowd goes wild. I can almost feel Minny's glare hit me in the back of the head, and hear her voice saying, "suck up"

"The next cover will be from our M-line (because both of their names start with an M... also like M for mature, because that is their concept for this line)." Bomi announces looking into the wings to see if Mok and Minny are ready.

"The cover that they will be doing is a duet with one of my favorite members of the group. He is so cool and so good at dancing. He was originally cast as a dancer and rapper but has grown and developed his vocal skills as well, so now he is the full package. ANd his make up in that scene where he is in that office. ScREams, I want to know how his stylist did that. Omg, I sound like such a fangirl, and that is probably because I am. Anyways, may I present to you Geode's M-line's cover of NCT U's Baby Don't Stop." I announce.

https://youtu.be/xUINK91ql7s

Once I finish announcing, I sprint to the changeroom, rip off my wig, and change into my next costume. The stylist-noonas help me fix my makeup to make me look more masculine, and then I sprint back up to the stage, and manager-hyung hands me a microphone. I make it just in time as Minny and Mok are finishing up the song. Ugh, Mok looks so good as Ten, and Minny's rapping is as good as ever, maybe even as good as Taeyong. As the song ends, and the applause (and wild screaming) starts and then dies down, I poke my head out from the wings. A few people in the front row notice me, and they cheer and point. I wave to them cheekily, and they wave back, eyes glassy. I make my way out onto the stage, and high five Mok "That was so dope! Do you want to teach me the dance later on."

Mok laughs, "I'm sure that you already know the whole dance."

"Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if you knew both parts of the dance." Minny wrinkles her nose.

"I mean I'm not denying the fact, but it's always nice to do a duet as an actual duet." I turn to the audience, "While Mok has to go change for the last cover by Geode's vocal line, why don't we have a little fun?" The audience cheers. "Okay, so I'm going to list my members, and y'all will cheer for who you think I should do the duet for Baby Don't Stop with. I promise to upload the video of the cover to youtube. Does that sound like a plan?" There is a deafening chorus of yeses, "RM." there is a weak cheer... I mean I don't blame them. I would much rather see RM do Baby Don't Stop with Jin, "Suga." there is a scattered cheer. Good, I think that if I had to do the cover with Yoongi, he would murder me for wasting his time. "JHope." There is quite a strong cheer for Hobi. I mean, who wouldn't want to see him master this dance. "V" the cheer is slightly louder than Hobi's. So I guess he's winning right now, which I'm not too upset about. I mean at least it would be a lot of fun with V, but it probably won't be a very serious practice or video that goes up. Most of the video would probably just be us fooling around. "Jimin" The cheers suddenly erupt from the crowd, making the cheers for all the other members sound like whispers... Wow... okay then. I guess we have our winner?... "Jungkook." I thought that the cheers couldn't get any louder, but oh boy was I wrong. The cheers for Jungkook were deafening. Its honestly probably because the stans for the golden ex-maknae are deprived of nutrition, and will go to no amounts to get that nutrition to live. "So I think we have a clear winner... ARMY, I promise you that this cover will be out within the month, even if it means dragging Jungkook to the practice room every night." I see eyes glint in anticipation. "But continuing on with the show, may I introduce Geode's vocal line with the legendary, golden collab Cave me in by Gallant, Tablo, and Eric Nam. I hope you enjoy it." And with that, I disappear off the stage so that Bomi and Mok can perform.

https://youtu.be/NQunCjYdAcU

Okay, so Mok and Bomi both really wanted to do this song, because we all really like Gallant, and this song, in particular, has ties to our Korean audience because of Eric Nam and Tablo. But the problem is that although it is such a vocal song, it does have Tablo's rap in the middle. Now since this is a song from our vocal line, we really wanted the song to show off the vocals of Bomi and Mok. So Mok sat down and turned the rap into lyrics and her and Bomi harmonize it. Amazing. Don't ask me how she did it, but she did, and it sounds amazing. 

Once they finish, Mok thanks the audience, and her and Bomi bow together. "So I'm sad to say that this ends Geode's portion of the Covers Concert. Thank you all for being amazing and buying the VIP tickets to the concert so that you could go to the fan meets, and come to this mini concert! Thank you for supporting BTS, Geode, and Bighit! We'll see you later for Geode's fan meet which will take place after the mini concert. But before I say goodbye, I would like to officially commence BTS's part of the Cover Concert!"

Hello lovely human beans~

Can I say that I have a very bad case of Senioritous. I legit have three projects, and an oral exam happening this week, and I am prepared for none of it.

Okay, who has seen Avengers Infinity War because like FUUUUUUCCCC*K. Like no spoilers, but just before the credits came up, I was like no way can it end here, and then the credits popped up, and I audibly swore. 

And, who has gotten the new Harry Potter game?! Cause I don't know how I feel about it yet.

Anyroads, that concludes this weeks update, I hope you enjoyed it... (really this chapter, and the next chapter is just me plugging music that I like... so if you didn't enjoy it, I doubt that you will enjoy next week's update either. Sorry in advance), and see you next week with a new update.

Peace Out
