...If this is all just in my head
My heart is pounding tonight
I wonder...

When the band and their staff arrived at the Airport in Chile a day ago Chilean ARMYs excitedly waited for them in screaming and took numerous photos on their cell phones. The boys just waved as they passed through the arrival gates.

The airport security was very efficient in their jobs and made it easier for the boys and their staff to go through. Awaiting them was a white mini van readyto take them to their hotel.

Unfortunately where ever they go saseang fans will be in the mix to the annoyance of the Chilean ARMY. They had to change hotels because their hotel stay accidentally got leaked during Jimins'Vlive and the saseangs were screaming and shouting at 9 am in the morning. The management had to, unfortunately, booked the group into another five-star hotel with tighter security.

Jimin breaths out relieve when he took a seat at the back "Wow ...our Armys are excited to see us, just the annoying saseang fans who always ruin our rest day and today our rehearsals start," Jhope nods happily "Let's just hope nothing in our hotel rooms gave us away...but I can wait to try out my Spanish."

Yoongi sighs tiredly "Easy, just do your Vlives with a white background. Or on your bed."

Taehuyng jumps in. "I'm so thankful to ARMY who have our backs. BTS Army is loving and caring. I love them."

The boys all nod in agreement extremely happy that they arrived safely to meet their fans.
Taehuyng removed his mask and stare out of the window with interest. They'll be staying at one of the most luxurious five-star hotels in Santiago, Chile. HOTEL SAN CRISTOBAL TOWER.

Idol life is crazy. All the perks of fame and fortune can go to your head, but the Bangtan boys stayed grounded because of where they were coming from. Humility will take you to places.

"I wonder how equipped is their gym?"Jungkook casually mentions.

"It must be well equipped seeing it has a five-star rating" Namjoon stated.

"I don't care as long as the menu satisfies my love of food," Jin laughs patting his stomach exaggeratingly.

Yoongi scoffs "I hope Sejin has enough sense not to let me share a room with Jimin, he will be engaging in Vlives the whole tour!"

Jimin overhears Yoongi and pouts. " Why are you so mean to me Yoongi-huyng? You know my heart only beats for you," Jimin sighs dreamily.

The whole bus bursts out in laughter. That is why the fandom loves to ship them together as Yoonmin. They like Tom and Jerry always bickering. Everyone knows there's a soft spot for Jimin in Yoongis otherwise cold heart. Yoongi smirks and shakes his head.

Taehuyng looks at a very preoccupied Jin. Typing on his phone. "Is it your soulmate?" He asks a distracted Jin curiously.

"Er ...yes. my darling just booked in at the hotel with a female manager and bodyguard. Their flight arrived two hours ago, we've been so busy and I really miss her"
Jin says sadly and with longing evident in his tone.

Yoongi groans "Urgh no ...huyng, you saw her a day ago, you guys couldn't keep your hands for yourself...ew!" Yoongi visibly shivers. Jin audibly sighs.

"You won't understand, this freaking red gold soulmate string makes it impossible to stay away. You know how painful it was without her by my side. The flight was torturous. I couldn't sleep Jimin could attest to that. He was so kind as to stay up and keep me company...my heart ached so much." Jin places his hand on his heart.

The group just looked at Jin in awe. He is so jolly and always humorous and funny that no one thought that he could be so solemn and serious at times.
Taehuyng just stares at his huyng with fondness at least he is the right age to be in a serious relationship. No dating ban and Jin always wanted a soulmate.

They shortly arrived at the hotel. They couldn't believe that the Chilean Army was waiting for them in with banners and cell phones. They were very respectful and restful just to see their boys.

The bodyguards surrounded the van. The managers were waiting with the hotel security at the entrance. The fans were chanting their names

Kim Namjoon! Kim Soek jin, Min Yoongi!, Jung Hosoek, Park Jimin, Kim Taehuyng ! Joen Jungkook, BTS.

The band covers themselves up with their masks and hats, they got out of the van and just wave and nod in greeting, following the managers and staff into the hotel.

The boys stood in awe at the opulence and elegance of this hotel when they enter the foyer. Jungkook and Jhope are filled with excitement.

"Wow..! It's beautiful" Jhope says in awe, his eyes wide.
Everybody agrees. They were relaxing on the plush chairs and sofas while their reservation is sorted out. Sejin walked with several room keycards to the boys.

"How are you guys holding up? Refresh or tired from the flight?Jin someone is dying to see you. Manager Oh Mi will go with you. Here is your room key." Sejin smiles and gives the boys their room keys.

He handed an excited Jin his key card. Jin jumps up, grabs his bags and follows his manager while smugly gives the other surprise members a big thumbs up. The huyng -line just smirk. Jhope hollers. The maknae line looks confused.

"Sejin... is Jin getting a suite for himself?" A clueless Jungkook asked. The huyng -line just shake their heads with soft smirks. Sejin smiles but doesn't answer. Jimin wiggles his eyebrows at a smirking Taehuyng who quickly caught the inside joke.

"How oblivious can one get..tsk," Yoongi rolls his eyes and softly murmurs.

Sejin handed each huyng a keycard. They'll be paired up with a maknae.

"Namjoon and Jimin, Jhope and Taehuyng and Yoongi and Jungkook. The 20th floor is all booked out for you. It's Executive suites with two interlinked bedrooms. Few managers and bodyguards will be on that floor also. Your room has everything you might need. Just don't be too chaotic!"

Sejin looks at each one of them. Everyone looks at Namjoon who has the tendency to break anything he touches. Joonie just gives them a look back. Sometimes he is so done with this immaturity. The boys are satisfied with whom they will be rooming.

"A light buffet lunch will be served in the hotel restaurant or you can opt for room service. You have a full suite with a dining area. From now to 1 pm you are free to settle in and explore the hotel amenities only with a bodyguard or manager understood. Dinner will be served from 6 pm.." Sejin informs them.

"..At 2 pm Sangduek will await you at a dance rehearsal studio for a brush up on the set list. If you come too late for dinner you can just call room service.
Individual and unit vocal rehearsals after dinner. You will be free from 10 pm."
Oh ...another thing we've secured the whole 19th -20th with floors. Every entrance will have a security check. So no fear. Just be alert for overzealous guests." Sejin finishes.

The whole floor has been secured so Jhope wouldn't have the anxiety of saseangs fans stalking and lurking in their hotel hallways. Sometimes a saseang would sneak into their hotel rooms and it scared them half to death.

Jhope was stalked in a hotel a few months ago and that left our Hobi in shock. Now the security is tighter around the boys. Taehuyng can't wait to go to the suite and maybe take a swim in the hotels' pool.

Taehuyng looks hopefully at the boys. "Anyone up for a swim?"
Jungkook, Jimin and Jhope enthusiastically agree, as they would also like to check out the amenities of this hotel.

Jungkook grins. "Let me quickly call Jin-huyng to join us at the pool. He said he wanted to check it out also?"
He quickly took out his cell phone to text Jin. Namjoon grabs it out of his hand almost dropping the phone. "What the- huyng ! You know you are the master of destruction!" Jungkook shrieks.

Namjoon just smile charmingly and say "Jin -huyng is with his significant other...he'll be very busy ...we'll see him at rehearsals...ok?"

The rest of the boys snicker and at Kookies big, doe eyes as Namjoon looks at him knowingly. Jungkook gets the message. "O...Oooooh."

Namjoon nods his head. Taehuyng laughs at the disgusted face Jungkook pulls.

Jhope pat Jungkook on the back and squeezes his adorable cheeks. "Your turn to shine will come to my little, innocent kookie."

Jungkook pushes Jhope's hand away. "Ew! Hobi-huyng. Gross!" He says with a distasteful tone in his voice.

Jimin giggles a bit "..coming from the one who took sexy to a higher level in 'Blood ,sweat and tears mv performance,'" Jungkook pouts "...That is part of the choreography-"

Taehuyng teases Jungkook" O ...ok.." he laughs while messing up Jungkooks hair.
Jungkook just ignores the teasing from his huyngs. It's not so nice to forever be the Maknae of the group.

Sejin spoke to Namjoon about certain details concerning the group and his leader duties. Jungkook can't wait to go to the suites now to change.

The managers escort the boys up the escalator through a secured hallway to where the private elevators are. They each look around for their rooms.

The boys barge into their rooms. Jungkook ran to throw himself on the bed. Yoongi chuckles and goes to the bathroom. He will not join the boys. He decided to order room service and take a nap before the hellish torture he'll endure during Sungdueks rehearsal sessions. Jungkook quickly puts on his swimwear and tea shirt. He doesn't take a towel as all the complimentary towels are at the pool.

Jhope and Taehuyng are also delighted with their rooms. They quickly open their travel bags looking for their swimwear.

Namjoon switches on the cable tv and checks out the channels leaving it on the local news channel. They were apparently on every local daily news channel updating the nation about BTS arrival and concert ticket details. Seems like the 44000 Movistar Arena has been sold out for the coming two days.

Taehuyng, Jungkook, Jhope, Jimin and Namjoon decide to eat lunch in the hotel restaurant. The hotel management secured a whole area just for the staff and superstars. Two security guards stood by the door with the maitre 'd.

...

The boys enjoyed the light buffet. The hotel staff is so in awe and filled with excitement at the sight of the group. The boys just wave and give them friendly nods which drove them into fits. Afterwards, they walked around the hotel looking for the gymnasium.

They saw the beauty Salon and Spa, Sauna, health centre, conference rooms, outside gardens, tennis courts, outside pool deck, when they feel they have enough exploring, for now, they had to find the indoor heated pool which was next to the gym.

When they saw the pool they all quickly threw off their shirts and race to the pool. The splash each other and swim a few laps, racing each other. The pool area was secured only for them for the time being. They thoroughly enjoyed their time together.

The five off them were lounging on the pool lounge chairs discussing random stuff. They are delighted to be so fortunate to perform for their beloved ArMy.

Jimin and Jungkook decided to go for another lap. Namjoon sat up to be the scorekeeper. Taehuyng lays next to Jhope who enjoyed the tranquillity.

Taehuyng turns on his side looking at Jhope "Hobi -huyng..." Jhope opens his eyes looking questionably at Taehuyng. "What Jin-huyng said, in the van... is it really so torturous to be away from your Soulmate?"

Jhope furrows his brows "It seems so ... you know my sister Jiwoo, she met her Soulmate in New York during NY Fashion Week. He is the CEO of his family's cosmetic company. At first, they couldn't believe they were soulmates. Two different ethnic backgrounds. He came from an upper-class African -American and she an upcoming South Korean Asian, online fashion shop owner,"

Jhope smiles fondly as he thinks about his only sister," They'd just met and denied the bond. That week during the fashion show, she collapsed. They rushed her to the hospital. Her heart almost stopped, and we thought we were going to lose her. It was tough on my parents,"

He shook his head. "Meanwhile Jordan also collapsed the same time during a meeting in his office,"

Fate brought them to the same private hospital, on the same day. Our families found out about them. When they woke up, they confirmed the soul bounding and completed the bond." Jhope says with a distant look.

Taehuyng's expression turns to worry. "So you can literally die?"

Jhope shook his head "Only if you meet your soulmate and haven't completed the process in steps. I didn't pay much attention during soul bounding class. But luckily I have my manual at home for reference if needed." Jhope turns to Taehyung, who seems distracted.

"I've forgotten half the lessons. I think I misplaced my book, that's why... I'm just curious," Taehyung says deep in thought.

"So like Jin, it's bearable to be away from each other but the soul bounding process must be completed. The burning will stop, but the sense of loss and heartache will remain if you don't see your Soulmate for a long time," Taehyung says, remembering when Jin mentioned how his heart ached when he didn't see his soulmate for some time.

Jhope nods and explains further, "The maximum days away from your Soulmate can be up to 30 days. Longer than that will be detrimental to your health, fatigue, moodiness, depression, random fainting, heartache, restless and sleepless nights. You mate completes you. Makes you feel whole and secure. Truest and purest form of love and affection."

Taehuyng sighs. "Do you want to meet your Soulmate now?" He is curious about whether Jhope is excited to meet his soulmate.

Jhope's eyes flash slight pain. "As you've already know I've been through heartbreak. In my senior class 3rd year in high school before debut, I loved my ex so much but she cheated and left me for another. It was a huge blow to my ego. Now I've got so many female fans that confessed their love daily ...but deep inside I'm so insecure still thinking that my soulmate will cheat on me and leave me for another... It will be difficult to trust or open my heart again..." Taehyung nods understandingly.

Taehuyng " I'm sorry huyng..." Jhope laughs awkwardly and quickly jumps up, grab Taehuyng hand and ran to join the others in the pool.

After a vigorous rehearsal session with Sungduek and his assistant, the boys and their back up dancers were exhausted. All of them retreat back to their hotel to go and shower and rest because tomorrow morning they'll have soundcheck at the venue and dress rehearsals.

They arrived back after 7 pm at their hotel. Fortunately their still in time for dinner.

All of them rush to their rooms to shower. The bangtan boys still have vocal rehearsals later. Hotel Management has set up a private sound studio prior to their arrival for band practice. From 8:30 pm, the first individual solos of the vocal line and then unit together Jungkook, Jin, Taehuyng and Jimin ( song: Lost) Jungkook ( song: Begin) , Jimin
( song: Lie) will be first up then it will be Taehuyng (song: Stigma), The rapline will be from 9:30pm Jhope ( song: Mama) , Yoongi ( First love) and than Namjoon (song: Reflection)

The boys didn't waste time and just got into their pyjamas and went straight to bed.

Day of concert.

It was a clear day. Army was queueing since early the morning. There was excitement in the air as C-ARMY from different walks of life meets each other and bond over the love for the seven wonders of S.Korea.

The boys were at the Movistar Arena busy from daybreak with stage rehearsals and sound checks. Their management quickly booked lunch at a local Chilean BBQ restaurant for the boys. Everybody from the production team, stylists, film and camera crew are running around on the stage and backstage. Supervisor and Team leaders are shouting commands left and right while the boys goof off on stage.

After a run through the rehearsal and sound check, the boys went backstage to get ready for the concert. They had a special backstage VIP lounge for the artists to relax and enjoy drinks and snacks. They can watch everything on the big LCD screen whatever is happening on stage. Like any other event or group, everything doesn't always go smoothly especially when everyone is under pressure to perform well.

The concert started off on a high note. The boys and Army was so hyped up. You could see signs everywhere. Some of the fans were so emotional and even cried openly, some fainted because of the sight of their idols.

During one performance on stage, there was a little incident that happens with the dance routine.

Backstage: Taehuyng and Jin got into a little conflict that really drove the sensitive Taehuyng to tears and Jin feeling conflicted and defeated. Namjoon as the leader had to step up and really becomes the mediator because conflicts needs to be resolved especially at a crucial time. They still had to perform for Army.

https://youtu.be/PxFOgWFCang

Backstage Namjoon had to console Taehuyng and encourage Jin also. What a great leader.

While they are doing their signature group hug Namjoon gave them quickly a pep talk.

Namjoon "remember we are BTS. This is not about V, Jin or RM. This is about BTS ...let's do it guys"

Everybody took their place in under the revolving stage, before Taehuyng took his position ,Namjoon gave him a comforting hug. He can still sense that Taehuyng is still shaken about the whole argument with his huyng.

Jimin just pat Jin and reassure him that he will do well on stage. Jim just smile lightly still feeling unsettled.
They will resolve it after their performance.
Now they need to give their all to ARMY that wants to see them full of energy and joy. Let the show begin. Professionalism kick in and the show goes on.

The concert was in full swing. The boys greeted ARMY in Spanish. You could hear and feel the energy in the arena. Army bomb ocean's look so fabulous. Jhope was running around with the Chilean flag on the stage. The fans went crazy.

The group let Jin and Taehuyng sort out their differences after the show and everything was settled.

The second day of the Concert, Jungkook felt sick but kept it in ,but his body took a huge toll and he collapse after the stage performance.

https://youtu.be/mNY44bFCtGs

BTS medical emergency team and the concert crew had to help. They let Jungkook rest with an oxygen mask. His body was exhausted and overheated.
Namjoon with the rest the boys looks very concern,Taehuyng and Jhope looked worriedly to the little maknae. Jimins face was so serious. Yoongi was pacing around.Jungkook was sweaty and out of breath. His body was really tired.

"Are you ok?"

Jungkook please go easy!"Namjoon says with concern laced I his voice.

Jungkook just tiredly nod. The stylist help him up and dress him into his shirt while the other try to fan him to cool him off quickly. They still need to perform the last songs on the set list.

Namjoon the leader is now evident. He is concerned for the concert but more about his little Kookies condition. Jungkook stood up,smile weakly and indicate that he'll, able to do it. They can't disappoint army.

Namjoon looked at his bandmates" Guys dont overwork yourself.
Jin pat Jungkook on the back to show him he cares. Taehuyng just follow them towards the stage entrance,
The stage manager call out to the stage crew " one minute to go!"His counting down.

The boys get themself ready.

Namjoon to Jungkook"If you ready to go,we'll go up first. Hang in there !"

Jungkook grimace" ok"

He go up next to Jhope and Jin. They gave one of their best performance.

After the stage performances Jungkook's body couldn't handle it,it needed urgent care. He collapse with exhaustion and the medical care immediately took action again backstage. He could still keep his humour when they wanted to remove his pants and socks. Cause his body was over heated.

When he was stable and cooled off ,he was help up by the staff and could join his huyngs in the VIP lounge .

Taehuyng and the rest of the boys were so concern about their youngest.

Namjoon was berating him gently " kooks you must look after yourself,you mustnt drive yourself to pieces.Space yourself and take it easy "

Jungkook just smiled weakly. " I had to do my best. We might never see The Chilean Army again. So this is my time put everything in."

Overall the boys were enjoying their time in Santiago and managed to pull off two successful sold out
concerts. They enjoyed the local cuisine. During their visit they were scheduled appear on the local music programs, the media blew up because of this BTS craze, they were on the (news print as well as television). Social media went livid with all the fancams of the concert uploaded for those broke local and international Armys that couldn't afford to attend. Bts merch sold out quickly online and at the concert.

The boys with their management ,staff and backup dancer wrapped up the end of the concerts with a celebration in the hotel of their first successful South American "Wings concert Tour"in Santiago ,Chile.

They also went to Mexico to perform at the opening of first ever KCON.
