Saturday night, during the final concert in Seoul, the guys took to their microphones to bid their farewells to ARMY as they closed out the tour. Coming back home and performing was always special. This was where they began their journey. Seven teenage boys, driven by their love for music, having had no idea of the impact they would make and how far they would go.

The fans were emotional as each member spoke. Even Alex was a little misty eyed. She had been with them through the entire tour, and now it was over. They would move on to the next item on their schedules and head back to the studio to make new music for the next tour, because there would always be another tour. No matter what they did individually, they would always come back together.

RM lifted his microphone and smiled at the crowd, "ARMY! Tonight has been so special. We thank you for always being with us, and we look forward to what we will bring for you in the coming years. We'll see you again on the next tour!" The crowd went wild and the guys took one last bow as the music played on in the background.

Back stage after the concert, Alex and Ji-Hoon went to do their last interview with the guys. It would be the final piece for the documentary. They sat in their dressing room, still sweaty from the concert, and smiling happily for having completed another successful tour.

JI-Hoon had the camera rolling as Alex asked them what their plans were from here on out, "Gentlemen, where will you go from here? Festa is coming up in a couple of weeks as well as the release of this documentary. What are your plans when everything is done?"

Yoongi leaned back on the couch and crossed his leg, "We have personal projects going that we will be working on, as well as getting back to the studio to start working on new music for the next album."

"We have some surprises in store for ARMY in the coming year, we hope they look forward to it." RM looked over at the guys and smiled, normally he ruined the surprises but he kept it under wraps today.

They wrapped up the interview, then made plans to have a late celebratory dinner back at HYBE. The tour was over. After the scheduled interviews they had the following week to promote Festa and the documentary premier, they would officially be on their own time. They were all looking forward to it.

Back at HYBE, Alex had a special surprise for the guys. She had been working on a video for them from outtakes she had saved while filming the documentary. Moments from their interviews and days out that spotlighted their affection and bond with one another. She gathered them around the tv while they ate.

"So . . . . I've put together a little something for all of you. I hope you like it." She pushed play and went to sit next to Yoongi on the couch.

Scenes from their flights, one-on-one interviews, the day at the beach, and hanging in the hotels played across the screen. She captured comments they made to one another, memories they talked about, and interactions that didn't even need words to understand how close they were.

The guys laughed during some parts of the video, while other parts made them emotional. She had put together clips of them discussing one another and what they meant to each other. There were a few moments where they were surprised, hearing things from the other members they had never been told before.

When it was over the guys turned to Alex with smiles. "Alex, that was so good." "You need to send us a copy." "I didn't even know some of that happened." Yoongi gave her hand a squeeze and thanked her for making the video.

She was so happy they had liked it. They meant the world to her, they had accepted her as a friend, and now as Yoongi's girlfriend. She would do anything to repay them for their kindness and never let them forget how special they were to her.

The following weekend, Alex was busy preparing correspondence for a local magazine as well as several popular media outlets. The guys had finished their week of promotions, and Festa and the premier were the following Friday.

She finalized the article she was writing and sent it out to be approved then distributed. Her phone rang as she turned her computer off and she looked down to see Yoongi calling.

Well hello there stranger. Finally taking a breather from the studio?

Yeah, I finally got to a good stopping point. Are you busy?

Nope, just finished the last article until Festa.

Good, we're going out.

Out? In Seoul? Together?

Bring a mask, but we're not going where people will really see us.

Hm, ok. That sounds suspicious (She laughed)

Bring a bag, you're staying at my place tonight. I'll be down in the garage in twenty minutes.

Alex quickly checked her hair and changed her outfit, packed a small overnight bag, then headed down. Yoongi pulled up to the door in his car and rolled down his window, "Hi there beautiful, wanna go for a ride?"

"I don't know if my boyfriend would like it, but I like your car. Let's go!" She jogged around the side of the car and got in.

"A cool car is all it takes for someone to take you from me?" He gave her a cocky grin as he drove off.

"So where are we going?" She looked out the window as he drove.

"While you've been busy preparing for the premier, I've been busy searching for your new apartment. We're meeting with my realtor today."

Alex turned to him excitedly, "Really? You are so amazing!" She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. "I've been dreading having to look."

"Well, now you don't have to. Hopefully you'll like something you see today."

After meeting the realtor, they drove to several apartments and villas that met Alex's budget. She wanted to be close enough to the bus route to get to HYBE every day, and Yoongi wanted her close to him. In the end she settled on a small two bedroom apartment, only twenty minutes from the office by bus, and within walking distance of Yoongi's.

He took her back to his house when they were done and cooked them dinner. They took their food out to the patio to enjoy the cool evening. "So, when do you leave to go back home?"

"The week after Festa ends. I'll get my apartment taken care of then I'll head to my mom's for a week. We're going to the lake for the fourth of July weekend."

Yoongi took a sip of his drink, "I think my schedule is open that week. I could fly over and meet you at your mom's."

Alex's eyes lit up, "I would love for you to come. Fireworks on the lake are amazing."

He smiled at her, "I'll book my flight tomorrow."

"Oh how exciting! It will be even better now." Her eyes smiled at him over her the rim of her glass as she took a drink.

When they were done they took their dishes inside and cleaned up the kitchen. He grabbed her hand and spun her in a circle then wrapped his arms around her. "Let's go to bed." He wiggled his eyebrows at her.

She shook her head and laughed as she grabbed her bag then walked back to the bedroom. She set her bag in the chair and noticed he had put the framed picture of the two of them from Paris on the nightstand. She smiled. "Look at you, ya little softie."

He grinned, "It was a great gift."

Alex pulled out her pj's from her bag, but Yoongi walked over and took them out of her hand and tossed them over his shoulder, "You won't be needing those." He grabbed her and pulled her onto the bed with him.

She laughed as they bounced on the mattress. She put her hands on his face, "Kiss me." So he did.

Have you signed the contract for your new apartment yet?

Yes

And you have the property manager lined up for your old apartment?

Yes, they will rent it out by the week or the month.

What about the movers?

Scheduled for next weekend, they do the shipping and everything.

I hope you ensured everything in case they lose stuff.

Well, duh.

Don't be a smart ass, I'm just making sure you did your due diligence.

Of course I did, you raised me.

True (she laughed). So when does Yoongi come over?

He'll get here Tuesday in time for us to head to the lake. But, hey, I gotta go, my flight's boarding.

OK, be safe, see you in a week.

Alex slipped her phone into her purse and went to stand in the boarding line for her flight back to California. Once she was on the plane, she took her seat and settled in for the long flight. She had been anxious to get the packing over with. The night before she had gone over to RM's to have dinner with him, Jin, and Yoongi. They talked about the reviews coming in from the documentary, and discussed their upcoming projects. They were the first ones Alex would be working with in her new position, so she wanted to make sure they were all on the same page until she was in the full swing of things.

Everyone had been in good spirits the last week as the media covered the Festa for their twelfth anniversary. ARMY was responsive as always, and even Alex had let herself fangirl over them. It still shocked her when she thought back to the time before she had met them. Just an ARMY in the world of BTS, and now, their personal publicist, and Yoongi's girlfriend. It still gave her goosebumps when she looked at it from that perspective.

After landing in L.A. Alex called Rich to let him know she had arrived. He was helping her out and had collected moving boxes and held deliveries for her till she could get back. He drove his truck to come and get her from the airport, then dropped her off at her apartment.

"I'm gonna miss ya kid." He helped unload the boxes and took them into her apartment.

"I'll miss you too, but I'll still come back every so often, especially if I work over here at all. I'll stay in my apartment during those times, so we'll still get to catch up." They brought in the last of the boxes, then Alex was grabbed up in a big bear hug. She laughed as she hugged Rich back, "I'll see you later." He waved goodbye then closed the door behind him.

Alex put her hands on her hips and looked around the living room. She put some music on and got busy packing one room at a time. She had her work cut out for her.
