"Ah, home sweet home," I whispered to myself after stepping out of the car and taking a deep breath, inhaling the scent I had missed for so long despite being in my hometown now for five days.
Even though the concert was held in Brisbane, we all decided to stay in a hotel in the city, as it was much closer to the stadium. The guys had tried to insist that they'd be ok with travelling from my place to the venue, but Mia and I had shut that down quickly as we knew what the roads were like. We'd rather stay in yet another hotel than have them exhausted and sitting in cars for ages dealing with traffic.
Whether it was because after the show we would have a month holiday, or because the Queensland ARMY was so excited for BTS to finally come to our state and the guys had fed off that excitement, out of the three shows BTS performed in Australia, their one in my hometown was by far the best.
For 10 days, all 12 of us would be relaxing at my house or exploring the sights my state had to offer. After that, everyone except Yoongi, Sophie, Jimin and I would return to Seoul, while the four of us would remain in Australia for two events – one honouring my father and the other my best friend's wedding.
Five months ago, I received a call from the drummer in my dad's band. Jimmy had told me that Lightning Zoo were receiving an Aria Hall of Fame award, with my father receiving it posthumously. The Aria charts are Australia's version of the Billboard Music Charts and like Billboard has their own awards show, the Aria's was where I had been asked to accept the award for my father. Because I was nervous about being on stage in front of all those people, Yoongi had offered to attend with me, as did Jimin.
So here we were, two days after their last concert in Australia, standing at the front of my house. It felt somewhat foreign now to me, having not lived here for nearly 18 months. I noticed small changes, like how the shrubs had grown, and there was now a small garden bed filled with flowers where there wasn't one before. I smiled, knowing that Gabby had worked her magic in tending to my gardens.
"You're home!" the voice of one of my best friends shouted from over the balcony, the smile on her face could have been witnessed from space it was that big.
I ran up the stairs, stumbling as my feet moved faster than my body. My skin felt on fire, whether it be from embarrassment or the last of the sunburn I got during the sound check I wasn't sure. "I've missed you!" I hollered as I slammed my body into Gabby's.
The two of us chattered away as we entered the house. "It's ok, I got the bags, beautiful," I heard my fiancé grumble tiredly.
"Thank you, baby! Love you," I turned, replying quickly and shooting him a flying kiss that would have made Jin proud, before turning back and talking rapidly to the friend I hadn't seen for over a year.

"I love this bed," Yoongi crooned. I giggled at the groan coming from my fiancé as he settled into my bed.
