Part 51

The concert in Seoul was wildly different than you had thought, and it was beyond exciting to sit at the control board with Woojin and Yeeun and take it all in. You knew when the guys had brought you onto the empty stage this week that the venue would be filled. You knew this was a sold-out concert. You knew that was just exactly what your guys and every single other person in this production was hoping for.

It was still a hell of a lot of people, and you were so excited by the rising crowd noise that you nearly bounced in your seat, much to Woojin's amusement.

Before you'd been able to come sit and catch your breath a bit, Minjae and Yeeun had had a hard time keeping up with you as you moved from station-to-station backstage, trying to catch those last-minute requests that kept coming in through your headset. You had long ago ditched the idea of heels or even boots to run around backstage. There was too much to do to even think about your feet, so you threw on your Vans and made the best of it.

You, Woojin and Yeeun were going to be using tonight as a gauge for where the three of you were best suited. Woojin knew about your desire to actually see the concert, but to be honest, the last second changes and updates kept you running until just before Minho gave the warning that they were leaving the green room.

You raced from stage right, to get to the control board tucked against the left side of the stage. Yeeun and Woojin had already settled in, and Minjae pounded up the steps behind you as the house lights came down and you plopped into the seat Woojin had set aside for you with a sigh of relief.

You leaned over to Yeeun, and she smiled and offered you a bottle of water, which you gratefully took. You watched the first of Yueen's VCRs for the night and watched as the guys once again took the stage to Attack on Bangtan. You were happy to see things progress as smoothly as they had the other night and sighed with relief when the No More Dream and Like went without a hitch. Namjoon had wanted the speaking part to come after Like, mostly so everyone could catch their breath before the guys dropped into Look Here, which thankfully Joonie made it through without issue.

When the guys went back to do the quick costume switch between Danger and Boyz with Fun, while another of Yeeun's VCRs played, you started to get the first bits of feedback from the team backstage.

Whatever the issue with the monitor had been, it still sounded weird tonight, so you made a note for Woojin to have it replaced before you left for Nagoya. Still all systems go for the mics and the in-ear pieces, though you expected to have issues with one or the other by the end of the night, based on feedback from the guys.

The issue with the soft stage seemed to be resolved for this venue, no one had mentioned it yet, but not all the backup dancers had been needed yet. The idea for the concert was the timeline, to move from the oldest to the last released, and so the number of backup dancers would grow, song by song, to demonstrate the growing ARMY as BTS moved through their discography.

By the time the tour was ready to start the tour in the US, the guys would be able to include Hoseok's new mixtape towards the end of the show and you knew that both Jimin and Tae had already made noises to Yoongi that they'd hoped to have the new song ready for some of the last few European concerts.

One of the tasks you'd dealt with tonight was a discussion with the team from the stadium inquiring as to whether or not Bangtan Sonyeondan would be interested in bookending the tour and having yet one more concert here in Seoul when they finished the tour.

The timing was a little tight, since you still didn't have a clear date from Derek or Jason (or the PA) when Yoongi's movie was for sure being released, but you had expressed your talent's interest in continuing the best possible relationship with the venue and asked them to keep the second week of June open for you.
