****
Park Jimin, one of the main vocalists for the popular K-Pop group known as BTS, hurries down the middle platform of a stage setup in Seoul, South Korea. His silvery-tinted brown hair and deep brown eyes glow under the concert lights. He's got a bright, warm smile on his face, which is full of energy.
All around him, the crowd cheers, some still behind masks that they wear. The pandemic is still alive--at a standstill really--but that doesn't stop the mandatory mask-wearing mandate. The members of BTS wear them too, except when they are singing on stage of course. After all, safety is key.
Jimin glances behind him, toward the main stage platform, where the rap line - which consists of Kim Namjoon (RM), Jung Hoseok (J-Hope) and Min Yoongi (Suga) - are still busy hyping up the crowd. They've all decided on a black and white theme for their outfits: black long-sleeve shirts with white pants and black shoes.
Jeon Jungkook (Kookie), Kim Seokjin (Jin) and Kim Taehyung (V), the other vocalists of the group are on the platform with him. For the renowned vocal line of the band, they've all combined to wear an all white themed outfit.
Jimin turns his attention back to the ground, grazing a few fingertips, before standing up. In his right hand, he clutches tightly to his microphone. He snaps the mic up to his mouth and launches out with:
"꽉 잡아 날 덮치기 전에
내 맘이 널 놓치기 전에
Say what you want
Say what you want
니가 진짜로 원하는 게 뭐야."
Boy in Luv is the song that kicks off the lineup for the latest March award's show, the Kids' Choice Awards, which courses through the back of Jimin's mind as he sings. Life Goes On will be next and then finally the grand finale of Dynamite. Dynamite, the record-breaking song from their album 'BE' and also the song that landed them a nomination on three award's shows, including the Kids' Choice Awards on Nickelodeon.
As Boy in Luv rings through the air, getting closer and closer to Jimin's high falsetto part toward the end, the electricity in the stadium reaches an ultimate high. The noise from the crowd in the building is deafening and then...
Jimin shakes his arm, getting loose in the long-sleeve white shirt and tightens his grip on his microphone and digs in deep, letting all he has in his voice hit the top of the microphone in his hand. His voice rings out in a crystal clear high tenor falsetto that pierces the boisterous fans in the crowd.
They only get louder as Jimin's voice sails into the electrified atmosphere. He is so engrossed in his vocals, his eyes closed and his mind focused, that he doesn't notice his microphone beginning to glow a bright yellow.
Suddenly an array of flowers appear and fall out of the sky overhead. They pepper the stage around him. An eerie, awkward silence follows his high note as the music and vocals all die on spot as well as the shocked crowd.
Jimin's eyes finally snap open and he sees all of the flowers around him. He swings his hand holding the microphone down to his side and blinks in shock. He bites his lip and looks around him.
RM, Suga, J-Hope, Jin, V and Kookie gasp, stepping back.
"Where'd those flowers come from?" someone in the audience pipes up.
"Jimin's high notes are so magical, that he can produce flowers from thin air, duh!" another one shouts out, before a fangirl sigh follows.
Jimin's cheeks flush bright red and he manages an awkward and stunned half smile at his friends. "I-I...didn't..."
But the others shake their heads and resume singing the song. Jimin eventually joins in, ignoring the scattered flowers and they are able to wrap up the song.
At the end, the lights dim, bathing them in darkness. V looks at Jimin, his mouth agape. After a few seconds, he finally throws his arm up and points at Jimin's microphone hand. "It was glowing when you were singing! I saw it!"
"This is the third time that this has happened," Jin mutters to RM, cupping his hand to one side of his mouth.
"You know that you're still loud as hell and he can hear you," Suga grumbles, tossing his eyes and folding his arms.
Jin shoots Suga a glare, while RM puts his hands on his hips.
Jimin looks down at his feet and the microphone in his hand. It glitters under the stage lights but it is no longer glowing. He studies it, perplexed, while RM, Jin and J-Hope rush toward Jimin and guide him down the platform to the main stage.
They vanish backstage to the puzzled but alive crowd.
Suga rolls his eyes and storms off after them. Kookie and V shoot off sign language hearts to the crowd as they happily skip off after the others once the lights come back on to reveal they are the only two left standing there.
"I don't understand! Last week, it started to rain, but we won our nominee category. WE WERE UP AGAINST ARIANA GRANDE THOUGH! ARIANA! GRANDE!" Jimin shouts out as he lead by RM, J-Hope and Jin, reaching the backstage area, which is a vast room in the Kids' Choice Awards building. "Then yesterday, there was an endless supply of cotton candy that covered the stage and we won the two categories that we were nominated for, Best K-Pop Group and also best album of 2020, and now the flowers...?" Jimin shrugs and slams his microphone down on a flattened stand with a dramatic flare.
"The cotton candy was fun though," V mumbles, licking his lips.
"V," RM says, pinching his nose and pacing back and forth.
V chuckles and picks Jimin's golden microphone up. He swivels his hand around, studying the microphone intensely.
Jimin pulls at his silvery locks of hair as he continues to shout, "So, what, are we going to win the nomination again? Am I good luck somehow? I thought that was only Team Kim Seokjin for Run BTS!"
"Jimin," RM stops abruptly in his pacing and turns his attention toward the smallest member of the group. "It's not the song, it's the falsetto you hit in each piece. Besides, for Mikrokosmos, your falsetto caused a downpour."
"And the mic was glowing then too!" V remarks, looking up from his intense study. "I wonder if I should try...?!"
"V, no!" Jin shouts out and takes a step toward him.
But V channels his vocal range and launches into his high part in his solo song, Stigma. Jin skids to a halt as the microphone glows bright yellow and a million strawberries tumble out of thin air over his head.
V continues to wail away into the microphone as the strawberries pile up around him.
"What the actual--?" Suga begins to say, cocking an eyebrow with a shocked disgust. "How--?"
V finishes and finds the strawberries around him. "Oops!" He quickly puts the microphone back on the stand and gives a signature box smile of innocence to Jin, who folds his arms across his chest. "But you can thank me when we win the category this time! Now who's good luck?"
"Tae-Tae..." Jimin mutters, shooting him a glare.
"I was just thinking about strawberries as I sang..." V mumbles, shuffling his feet in the center of the red sea of strawberries around him.
Jimin gasps and jumps up and down, slapping his hands together. "THAT'S IT! I was thinking about flowers while I was on stage! I thought about my fans throwing flowers at my performance...um, positive thoughts help me to push through the high vocals." His cheeks flush red once more.
Suddenly, a loud announcement comes over a speaker, "And the Kids' Choice Award for Best Artist, Best Song and Best Album of 2020 goes to...BTS!"
"I guess it also results in good luck for us in Award Shows too..." Jimin chuckles, awkwardly.
"And the rain during Mikrokosmos was one of these?" J-Hope questions, tapping his chin in thought.
Jimin shrugs. "I had a bad day and I didn't think that performance was going well, so my head might have been a little clouded. But we still won thanks to my lucky falsetto?"
RM waves his hands before him. "So let me get this straight? Somehow, your microphone has been altered to glow when you hit a high falsetto in a song and produce whatever is on your mind at the moment? You've got one fortunate falsetto then."
"And me too!" V says, giving another giant smile of innocence. He bends down and grabs a strawberry and then shoves it into his mouth. "Yum!"
Jimin chuckles. "I might have had a sweet tooth with the cotton candy."
V gives a thumbs up, his fingers covered in strawberry juice as he attempts to eat his way out of the fruit sea around him.
"I wonder if I can get an unlimited supply of banana milk then?" Kookie suddenly exclaims.
"Maybe I can get a bunch of hugs!?" J-Hope shouts out, clapping his hands excitedly.
"It's just for the vocalists, idiot!" Suga scolds and plops down on a couch in the room. "High falsettos, which you cannot hit."
J-Hope's smile vanishes at once and his head hangs low. Defeated. Disappointed.
"Yoongi, that was mean," Jimin remarks and walks over to J-Hope. He throws his arms around the multi-talented rapper, embracing him in a huge hug. "I'll give you your hugs and they're free!"
J-Hope brightens, welcoming Jimin's hug.
V finally eats his way through the strawberries, leaving a diagonal line path from the center behind him. Juice all over his hands and outfit, he runs over and joins the hug, wrapping his arms around Jimin and J-Hope.
"Bear hug!" V exclaims, trapping Jimin in his messy embrace.
"TAE-TAE!!" Jimin wails. "You got strawberry juice all over me!"
"I like hugs!" Kookie screams and races over, smashing up against V and suffocating Jimin even more.
RM and Jin chuckle with amusement, while Suga rolls his eyes and folds his arms.
"You people disgust me," Suga grumbles with a snort.
"Lighten up, Yoongles," V sing-songs, using one of Suga's annoying nicknames that makes Suga growl.
"No," a cold foreign voice cuts through the warmth. "Min Yoongi--or should I say, Yoongi Min--is very much correct...you people are disgusting and do not deserve ANY of the success that you are getting."
V, Jimin, J-Hope and Kookie break apart from their hug and spin around to look in the direction of the cold voice. RM and Jin spin around and Suga's head snaps to the side, his eyes going wide with shock.
A six foot tall man stands by the microphone stand. He's got a mischievous smirk on his face as he plucks up the golden mic that V had set down after producing the sea of strawberries from thin air.
"You might be wondering what I am doing here, shouldn't I be in America singing and lighting up the radio with my amazing vocals?" the man begins to monologue like a stereotypical villain. "But I really wanted to check out the successful, history-breaking K-Pop band BTS. So I arrived and attended this concert."
RM looks at Jin, but it is Kookie who gasps and throws his hands to his mouth as he exclaims, "Jason Derulo?"
Jason Derulo's smirk twists more in the corners of his mouth and he finally looks up. His beady dark eyes meeting each of them. "I must say, nice dumpster fire of a performance that was...you're lucky Jimin's caterwauling brought flowers."
Jimin frowns and stomps a foot forward. He is grabbed by either arm by V and J-Hope. "Put my mic down!"
"Oh, this?" Jason Derulo muses, using his fingers to twirl the mic around delicately. "No. This is mine now. I'm going to use this lucky little thing to make you guys...very...unlucky." He begins to sing into it and, as he goes into his ear-shattering higher register, the mic glows brightly.
Jason Derulo cuts off his note and, smirking, he begins to cackle with amusement as he watches as smoke surrounds each member, who gasps with shock. Then as the smoke thickens, it pulls them, one-by-one, out of the room.
