Hello! I know most of you read this book, so I decided to post a Story Time on here! Hope you don't mind :)
This Story Time is about the first time I went to a BTS concert.
So let's start off with this.
(Sorry if you wanted a chapter today! Sadly, I'm still working on it ;-;)

Somewhere in September of 2018....
My mom told us that we were going to go to Hamilton Ontario to meet some friends of hers and have dinner with them. What bothered me the most was that we were simply going there to have a one night dinner with her friends and go back home? Um, weird.. Before all this information; I was sad because my mom did try in May of 2018 to buy me some BTS concert tickets for Hamilton. We, of course, got none because for some reason some people were buying a BUNCH of tickets at once which resulted to us failing... ;-;
Later on (I think around 3 days before the trip) Mom noticed my gloominess and wanted to make me feel better by telling us something. She gathered all of us (which consists of me, my 2 siblings and my dad) into her bedroom, where we all sat on her bed and listened to her ramble on about things we should bring and shouldn't bring on our trip.
Here's where things get better.
(This'll be in my POV, like a story lol my name will be replaced by my actual nickname: Kitty~)
"Okay, so can Kitty read the rest of the notes for us?" Mom asked, passing my dad his phone (the one she was reading notes off of) as she smiled, still holding her phone against her stomach with the back facing us. (Let me just tell you that she was recording us the whole time and my sister wouldn't stop staring at the camera with a face that literally said: I-know-you-are-recording-mom lol)
I nodded subtly, not feeling happy at the moment. "Sure. Pass me it, dad." My dad then handed me the phone, also wearing the same strange smile my mom wore at the time.
I stared at the screen, confused for a moment before I squinted my eyes at it.
"O—Oh my God!!" I screeched, covering my mouth in shock.
"What Kitty!?" my sister exclaims, a knowing look on her face. (Yet she didn't see this coming and neither did I)
"TICKETS! TO A B-BTS CONCERT!?" I shouted out as hot tears rolled down my cheeks.
(Yes. I literally cried. I mean, who wouldn't? I've always wanted to see BTS in real life at a concert and suddenly my wish comes true so I cried of joy)
"Yes honey," my mom smiles, coming over with her phone as she recorded my reaction. "A friend of ours helped us buy some for you guys."
"So wait– We're ACTUALLY going?!" My sister excitedly screamed, jumping around while smiling like crazy. I, on the other hand, was crying still while smiling. I couldn't believe this!

(So let me time skip to when we made it to Hamilton Ontario, because nothing really interesting happened on the ride there.)
So we made it to Toronto (where we were staying) and we were currently in our hotel room waiting. The concert started at 8 PM! Luckily, we got to the hotel just in time to get ready.
I got myself dressed in a comfortable sports dress (they're basically dresses that you can move around in better lol) so I could keep cool and comfy at the concert. I assumed a lot of people would be there so it would be hot.
Once it was around the time to leave, we headed out. We of course had dinner at a restaurant an hour or two before leaving. I was jumping with joy the whole drive to the FirstOntario Centre! All I could chant in my head was the fan chant for BTS lol
We got there finally, and I was still excited. The line to get in the big building was FILLED with ARMYs, so it was suuuuper long. There was a lot of people wearing BTS Merchandise or holding up signs, photo cards, fans, and much more.
When the line got shorter, it then became our turn to go inside. Some dude had to check everyones bags for safety but he didn't check my purse and instead told me to head on up the stairs that were behind him. I thanked him nicely and went on up with my sister. (My purse was small as frick so he probably guessed nothing was in there since it was TOO SMALL lol. Nothing was in there but the usual stuff I'd carry around)
We waited for our mom to come up the stairs after her bag was checked. Once we seen her we quickly grabbed her arms and looked around for where we should go.
(Now here's the weird thing that happened. I have no idea how this occurred but I'm so very thankful it happened because other wise I wouldn't have experienced something as awesome and beautiful as this in the best way.)
So we found our section after passing a bunch of people to get there. I can't remember the section number but our seats were for the 2nd floor. We walked up to this lady who was the ticket person- she would check your tickets and let you in. We passed her our printed-out tickets, and right after she politely asked us to follow her.
She took us to a desk with a man behind it and gave him our tickets and told us that we couldn't sit where our seats were because they needed that section for their recording equipment for the concert. Then mom noticed that the section they were going to put us in was on the 2nd floor on the very far side, but our tickets were supposed to be the 2nd floor, middle aisle so we could actually see the concert. So mom politely asked the gentlemen if he could give us better seats to be similar to the quality of our location. The man looked at his remaining 3 seats and gave us 3 new tickets and asked the lady who was working with him to take us to our seats.
She took us to the correct section and pulled open the black curtains so we could get inside. At this point my legs were really shaking badly since I was excited and nervous. We looked around and the lady pointed downwards, and then I was jumping with joy.
We were 4 rows down from the GA floor!!!
She smiled and left us to find our seats. We got in our spots.
(Here's the actual tickets! There's only 2 in this picture because my mom sadly lost hers after the concert ended)
Once sitting down, we found this on each of our seats! (Everyone had one on their seats just so you know)
(I left out the part where some people were sitting in our seats when we got there because they couldn't find their own seats but we helped them. Also here's a photo of the ARMY sign! Sorry that it's bent and stuff!! 😓)
The concert started not too long after and I was screeching a lot! I was so darn happy!! The first song was IDOL, and I screamed SO LOUD when I seen BTS because THEY WERE RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY EYES— I felt like the happiest girl in the world, being there 💜
(All 4 photos below- if you can see them- are all taken by my mother. Please do not steal them or claim them or something, y'know? That's not nice)
If you wanna see what it was like, search up on YouTube "BTS Hamiltion concert 2018" and hopefully you'll find the 2 hour video. (the videos you find on there were not recorded by me sadly)
