Jungkook's POV:

It's officially December, one of my favourite months. Christmas is one of my favourite holidays.

I was on a video call with Zoey and she was packaging Christmas gifts.

"You know, I can't put these under the Christmas tree until Christmas night." She says as she cuts up some tape.

"Why not?"

"Because Caro will try to open them before Christmas."

I laugh. "That sounds like Jin, it's unbelievable how the oldest likes to open gifts early."

"I know right. What gifts did you get for the boys?" She keeps her eyes on the gifts she's wrapping as she talks.

"I didn't get any yet, I don't know what to get them."

"Oof that's gonna be hard, getting a gift for one person is already hard let alone 7."

"Exactly." I roll over on my bed to face the ceiling.

"Ohh I forgot to get you a gift." She looks at me as if she was guilty. "I'll buy you one tomorrow at the mall."

"No, you don't need to get me anything."

"Why not?" She says pouting.

"Because you don't need to get me anything. But I will be getting you a gift."

"No, that's not fair! How come you get to give me a gift and I don't get to give you one?" She crossed her arms.

"Just cuz..." I don't really know why either, I guess having you is enough.

She huff's in frustration. "Ugh whatever, I'll get you a gift next time."

"I won't accept it." I teased.

"Then I'll give it to someone else." She smirked and went back to wrapping presents.

I chuckled and laid back down, my only problem now is what do I get her or should I say them including Caro.

*****

I was walking into our building to get ready for our practice, my duffel bag in hand. Jin hyung and I came late since we both had a meeting to go to.

We were in the elevator going up. "Hyung, what gift do you think I should get for Zoey and Caro?"

"Hmm, I dont know... Just get something that is meaningful but also useful I guess." He looked at me briefly before looking back to the elevator doors.

"I guess your right. But what's something meaningful but useful?"

"That's up for you to decide." And with that, the doors open and we stop the conversation.

The rest of the boys were already practicing in the studio. "Hey guys."

"You guys took long," Jimin said as he drank some water.

"The meeting took longer than expected," Jin said following in behind me.

"What part are you guys on?" I walked over to Namjoon as he handed me my mic.

"The start of the first song," Yoongi said, getting into position.

I also got into position. I looked at myself in the mirror, my sparkly mic shone in the light. That's when it hit me, I should get them custom mics. "Hyung! I got it!"

"Got what?" Namjoon says looking at me confused.

"I'll get them custom mics for Christmas!" I point to the mic in my hand.

"That's a great idea!" Jin gives me a thumbs up.

"Get who mics for Christmas?" Jimin hyung says.

"Zoey and Caro." I say like it was the most obvious thing ever.

"Ohhhh." They all sat in unison. "Yknow, that's actually a good idea," Jimin says.

"I know right! I'll get that done later, first let's practice."

We got into practice but all I could think about was the mics.

*****

It's the next day and I am really set on the whole mic idea. Jin hyung says that it'll be a good idea to get all of the members a mic with matching IEM's, so that's what ill do. That's a lot of gifts to prepare, but it was nit ing I couldn't do.

I have to call Zoey's manager, Janette I think, and I need to get a list of names. I attained her number through Zoey's email, it was pretty easy to get.

I dialled her manager's number on my phone and hit the green call button. It rang for a bit until someone answered. "Hi, is this Zoey's manager?"

"Yes, this is, may I know who's calling?"

Well, do I give her my name? It's only right if I do I guess. "The names Jungkook, Jeon Jungkook."

"Pfft, this better not be some kind of sick prank. If this is a prank dont waste my time and leave."

"Uhmm... This isn't a prank, I really am Jungkook."

"Uhu, and I am Blackpink's Jennie. Look, If your really Jungkook, which your not, then give me some proof." She scoffed into the phone.

What proof do I give? There's nothing I could really do except tell her some information only she and I know. "Zoey came to Korea not too long ago to do a special interview with me and the boys. Her trip had to be cut short since they received news of getting to perform for the GMAS."

I heard a gasp, and then silence. "No way? you really are Jeon Jungkook." Then it was followed by a series of screams. I was prepared and brought my phone away from my ear. "A-are you really THE Jeon Jungkook?"

I chuckled. "Yeah, I am THE Jeon Jungkook." And then j hear more screams.

It took her a while to calm down before talking again. "Sorry about that, I'm just a little too excited. Uhm, why are you calling me today?"

"I have a favour to ask."

"Oh- of course! Sure id love to help you!"

"First, you cannot and I repeat CANNOT TELL ANYBODY that I called you. Second, I need a list of all the names of the members of ND Dance Crew."

"Sure, can I ask why?"

"I can't tell you that, unfortunately."

"Ohh that's no problem, dont worry about it. Should I email you the names?"

"Yes please, I will text you my email address."

"Sure thing, is that all you need sir?"

"Yes that's all, thank you."

"No problemo! Bye!"

"Bye." And I ended the call.

Now all that's left is to get them made.

Zoey's POV:

It's now the day of the performance and I'm super nervous! I'm scared but excited at the same time.

I'm standing in the shower trying to get rid of my anxiety. The time is currently 9 am and the show starts at 2 pm, I still have a lot of time to get my shit together. We have to get to the venue at noon to get hair and makeup done as well as the final rundown.

Ever since I woke up this morning a had this gut feeling that something was gonna go wrong, I'm not sure what yet.

I quickly finish showering and get changed into some baggy clothing. Since today is now performance day, I don't really need to get ready since hair and makeup will be done at the venue, I just need to be clean and bring a couple of things.

I got out of my room and I grabbed a tote bag, specifically, the one Jungkook gave me. I need to bring a pair of clothes to change into after the show, my phone and charger, and some other essentials. I won't be vlogging this experience since I won't have much time to do it.

I set my bag on my bed so I can grab it before leaving. I take my phone and I walk out of my room closing the door behind me. I see some of the members walk out of their rooms and I say 'good morning' to them. As soon as I walk down the stairs, the smell of eggs and bacon hit me. I skip into the kitchen to find Caro and Ella cooking. "Good morning!" I say as I enter the kitchen.

"Good morning!" They both say at the same time.

"You seem pretty excited today," Ella says.

"Who wouldn't be, today's the day!c I squeal as I jump up and down.

"Why don't you come to help us cook?" Caro says holding out the spatula to me.

"Okay!" I walk over and I start flipping the eggs. "Hey Caro."

"Yeah?"

"I have this feeling that something bad is gonna happen today."

"Like what?"

I shrug my shoulders. "I don't know, but I feel like we should just be careful on stage. Who knows what might happen."

"I guess your right. Plus your gut usually isn't wrong."

"I'm really not sure what will happen but I feel like it's going to be really bad."

"I guess we'll just see then." She shrugs her shoulders.

I stay silent for the rest of the time just thinking about what could possibly go wrong. Caro toasted some bread, I finished cooking the eggs and bacon, and Ella started the coffee machine. Once we finished cooking, we called all the members down to eat.

Breakfast was amazing, all that's left to do is to wait.

*****

I get a call from our drivers that the company sent, saying that they're here already. I run out of my room with my bag in hand. "Guys they're here!" I yell as I run down the stairs to the entrance.

I hear everyone start to run around, I put my boots on and I wait for the rest to get here. "Is everyone here?"

"Wait I'm coming!" Caro says as she runs down the stairs.

"Okay, split!" As soon as I say that everyone splits into two so we can go into the elevators.

We filed into the elevator and I clicked the button to the main floor, and down we went.

When the door opened we went to the entrance of the hotel and we see 3 black vans waiting for us. A security guard comes out upon seeing us, he opens the door and we go into the van.

Once everyone was inside the vans, we left to go to the venue.

*****

We made it to the venue and we exit the cars. When we enter the back area of the stadium, where the waiting rooms are, I see a bunch of other idols already there.

I now down and greet the ones that I see as I make my way to our waiting room. We all settle down into the waiting room as we wait for our turn for hair and makeup.

*****

I'm seated in a chair getting my hair and makeup done. Hair and makeup will basically be the same for each performance since we won't have enough time to change it in between performances.

My long brown hair is curled into soft waves and my makeup consists mostly of browns with sparkles but it still gives really soft vibes.

Caro is seated next to me getting her hair done too, we are the last ones to get our makeup done since we let the other members go first.

After make-up, I get changed into our school uniform outfits. We have to be quick when we change into our different outfits.

We still have about 1 hour before the show starts and we are quickly getting our final rundown to make sure we know what times we need to be on standby.

After the little orientation, I started warming up my vocals. I'm standing by the mirror looking at myself as I warm up. I start by doing small warm-ups then I did some complicated ones.

At this point, my anxiety starts to kick in. I feel nervous, I'm scared that I'll mess up or that I'll trip and fall. We've never performed in such a big stadium, it kinda scares me.

Caro sees me warming up and she comes beside me to do the same. "You're nervous aren't you?" She says when she finishes her warm-ups.

"Yeah, I am... Aren't you?" I look at her as I sit down in a chair.

"Of course I am, I'm just trying not to let it get to me." She takes a seat across from me.

"I still really can't shake this feeling out of me."

"You mean your gut feeling that something will go wrong?" She tilts her head as she looks at me.

I nod as I take a small sip of water. "It's really getting to me, I'm starting to get scared."

"Don't be, maybe it's just nothing."

"I don't know." I shake my head as I grab my phone.

I scroll through my Instagram to pass the time. We have around 45 mins till the show starts, I heard from a member that a lot of people are already entering the stadium. That makes me even more nervous.

After 20 mins staff came and told us that we needed to get on standby. We all followed them into the backstage area, the members spilt separate ways to the different stages. We were standing backstage getting our IEM's on and getting our mics.

My palms were starting to sweat and my heart started to race really fast. Caro must've noticed me looking nervous, so she comes up beside me and squeezes my hand. I give her a tight smile.

We get into positions in our box and we hear the MCs start talking. First, they have to introduce the idols, and the idols will walk on stage, wave and then go to the seating area. After that, we start our first performance.

I listened as they said the names individually. There were loud screams as soon as the idols walked onto the stage, but the screams for BTS were the loudest. I was shocked at how loud they were.

They had finished introducing the idols and they were now going to briefly introduce us. I closed my eyes for a bit trying not to freak out.

The video started playing on the big screens and I heard the music playing. The video was introducing the members individually. There is a picture of the member and then their name. That went for all 23 members, with music playing in the background.

As the video was starting to end I put in my IEM's and I look at Caro and Ella. I give them a small nod then I start to ready myself.

The three of us are in the center box so we open up last. The music of pick me starts playing and I get into position. It's go time.

Our box opens and I am smiling, the lights are kinda blinding as they shine down on us. I can see the colourful lights of the light sticks in the crowd. It looks... Beautiful! I am mesmerized by the lights. I lose all of my anxiety and insecurities as I am dancing and singing.

I can't hear anything going on around me except for what I'm hearing on the IEM.

Our part of the dance is done and we run off stage and we make our way to the center stage from the bottom. The boys are currently on right now. As I run to the next stage, my adrenaline is pumping and I feel so happy. We stand beside the lifts so that when they come down we can quickly get on.

I grab Caro's hand and squeeze it as I give her a big smile. She does the same as we wait.

The boys finish and we see them run towards us and wait by their lift. The maknae line is the one on right now. By the time their part is done, the lifts come down and we rise to do 'Into The New World'.

I'm dancing and singing giving it my all, this feeling is something I couldn't explain in words. It felt, amazing!

We finish off the dance with our last formation and I smile into the camera. Then we get off the stage. I'm practically running back to the waiting room all happy.

The members come in and we start jumping around in a circle, holding hands. "That was amazing!" I yell.

"I love being up there!" Caro said squealing.

"I know right!" I grab her hands and we jump around together.

Ella interrupts our little happy moment. "Guys come on, we need to change into our next outfit." She ushered us out of the room into the changing room.

The first performance was going to be Aespa, so we get to wear these pretty clothes with gems on them. Only 12embers will be performing to Aespa, the rest will be performing for other groups. I'm part of pretty much all except for a few.

I get changed and the hair and makeup team quickly touch up our makeup. I look stunning in this outfit, the gems making me look like a chandelier.

We go backstage and wait for our cue. For this one we start on the main stage then we transition to the main stage. For the group introduction performances, we won't be singing. We only sing for our starting and ending performance.

This performance went smoothly just like the first and I am doing amazing! We went back to our waiting room after our performance, to the whole squad cheering and clapping. I did a bow and I drank some water.

"The sparkles on your outfit made you look amazing!" Caro says giving me a thumbs up.

She was right, they did look amazing. "Thank you!"

I sat down in a chair and rested my feet. I'm not on for the next performance but I'm on after that one.

We watch the real Aespa perform and they were FIRE! They looked sooo pretty and their outfits we amazing! I'm shocked that I'm actually getting to watch this live. Once their performance was over I quickly changed my outfit so I could watch the boys perform for TXT.

And let me tell you, we are soo good at making the formations. It looked amazeballs! There was blue and white confetti that blasted into the air, and the blue strobe lights made the performance look even cooler. My boys had on these really badass-looking outfits and they looked HOT!

Their performance finished and it was my time to be on stage again, this tune we are performing for TWICE! I'm so excited!

Jungkook's POV:

I am sitting in the chairs assigned for the idols, we had just entered the stage after the host introduced us. I sat and watched as the fans screamed and cheered when their favourite idols came on stage.

I listened as the host started introducing ND Dance Crew, it was for their opening stage. I only heard a little bit from Caro, they were performing something going the line or the Produce Series. I'm quite excited to see what they are performing.

The hits finished introducing them and a video started to play, then I was met by the faces of the members. Each of them has a picture of them and their name, briefly introducing them.

I watched as their stage starts, these boxes are on the stage, opening up one by one. I saw as the middlebox opened, Zoey appeared on the big screen. She looked amazing with her school uniform outfit and wavy hair, her makeup on point, she looked like a doll.

As they sang, I saw that they were using the custom mics that I gifted to them. It was shining as the light shone down on them, I made a good choice. I felt happy that they liked my early Christmas gift, a small blush crept onto my face when I noticed the mics.

Zoey looked really happy, a big smile spread across her face as she sang and dance gets her heart out. Then towards the end of their stage, they performed 'Into The New World' which was fitting with their theme. Like as if they are coming out into a new place with new opportunities.

The stage ended and the hits came back on the stage, I didn't pay attention because all I could think about was Zoey.

She performed for the next group which was Aespa. When they entered the stage they had these beautiful outfits with gems all over them, making her shine. This performance was amazing as well! Their facial expressions were on point and they were perfectly synchronized.

I was mesmerized!

Zoey's POV:

We sped through all of the performances quickly, my anxiety went away after the second performance making me more confident. We watched all of the idol's performances and I loved it! I'm practically watching a concert of various idols FOR FREE!

We were sitting in our waiting rooms watching as BTS performed on stage. They were performing 'Dynamite' and 'Butter', as well as one of my favs 'Life, Goes On'. We're all singing along and cheering as we saw the boys enter the stage. They had on their retro-inspired outfits and they all looked soo good! The one that stood out the most was Jungkook, his outfit suited him. The props on the stage gave me really old-school vibes, and I was liking it!

Sadly, their performance came to an end and it was now time for my members to go and perform again. I'm not in the last few performances since I already performed for literally more than half of them, and so did Caro. So I just get to sit back and relax as I watched the show.

As the members were performing, a staff member entered our room. "Hi, sorry to disturb you. But we have two empty seats upstairs if anyone of you wants to go up and watch from there."

I look at Caro then at the members. "Do you guys want to go?" I look around at all the members. They huddle in a circle and start whispering for some weird reason. I look at them confused.

They look back at us. "You two should go up and watch," Ella says. "You guys deserve it, after all, you both work so hard for us," Sarah adds.

Caro and I look at each other. "But that's unfair to you guys," Caro says.

"But it's also unfair if two of us go," Ella says making a point.

I sigh. "But-"

"No buts, you two are going." Ella grabs us by the arm and drags us to the door. "Now go! Have fun!"

I sigh before we follow the staff member up to the seating area. We had to walk a little far since we needed to walk behind the big stage to et there. He leads us to a staircase that led up to the seating area, we followed him up and they pointed in a direction before leaving. I looked to where he pointed and it was where BTS was seated.

I walked up to where the boys were bowing down to the idols on our way. They didn't notice Caro and me at first, but then when they saw us they waved and scooched over a but making more room for us.

I sat down beside Jungkook with Caro to my left. I had my phone with me just in case I needed it but I gave it to Caro to hold. I looked around behind me and I saw all of the familiar faces of the idols. I was in shock!

I looked back forward to watch my members perform. The performances were even better in person than watching them on a tv screen! It looked much better.

I was singing along and clapping my hands when I notice something being put on my lap. I look down and see Jungkook placing his suit jacket on my lap. I look up at him to meet his eyes and he gives me a small nod before looking back to the stage. Taehyung who was sitting beside Jungkook notices what Jungkook did so her does the same and gives it to Caro. We thank them and out of the corner of my eye, I see Jin glaring at us. I just don't think much about it because maybe... I don't know why.

I adjust the jacket on my lap and I continue to watch the performance. It was Rev Velvet performing 'Psycho', 'Monster', and 'Zimzalabim'.

I was singing along to 'Monster' also doing the dance moves when out of the corner of my eyes I see Caro look at my phone. Of course, I keep dancing but then Caro abruptly shakes my shoulder. I look at her startled and she has a confused expression on her face. I look at her confused and she slowly hands me my phone.

I look at my phone and notice a text from 'Tita Rachel'. I unlock my phone and I read the text.

Tita Rachel:
"I'm sorry Zoey, I'm so sorry."

Zoey:
"Tita, what are you
talking about? Sorry for
what?"

Tita Rachel:
"We tried our best, but
it didn't work. She had to
go. We tried to save her
but it didn't work."

Zoey:
"Tita what are you
talking about? What do
you mean she had to go?"

Tita Rachel:

"Zoey, she's gone. Vivian
is gone. I'm sorry."

I drop my phone on my lap and my eyes start to water. What is happening right now?!
