OMG!

So this past Sunday, I went to the B1A4 concert in Chicago. I had Section 103 Row C tickets so I was RIGHT THERE. However, when I got to the venue, I realized that the pit tickets were better than my tickets because they had elevated the pit so the pit people was literally up against the stage. Before the concert began, my friends and I decided to move out of our seats and try to find an open spot in the pit near the stage. 

THEN THE CONCERT BEGAN!

We were so close and I could practically touch the lovely boys if I stretched and if they leaned down. However, it was the start of the concert and they were still trying to get use to the audience so there wasn't much fanservice. They began the concert with "O.K" and transitioned to "Beautiful Target." I was freaking out because Gongchan and Jinyoung liked to frequent my section of the stage and they were my top biases in B1A4. However Jinyoung didn't do much fanservice but Gongchan would smile and wave. 

THEN I GOT HIS ATTENTION.

Gongchan ran over during his part in "O.K" and I yelled out his name and I was the only one to do so since I was surrounded by mostly Sandeul girls. He looked down and he saw me AND HE SMILED AND HE WAVED AT ME. I thought I could've died happy at that moment.

BUT THAT WASN'T IT

Throughout the entire two songs, he would occasionally look over at me and smile / wave. I was in complete heaven.

I know most people reading this would've been like "oh she's probably delusional" or "he wasn't waving at her." But you have to understand, I was surrounded by girls carrying Sandeul banners. If you still think I'm delusional, just let me live in my fantasies. This is, after all, my very first Kpop concert, not to mention FIRST concert IN GENERAL. Allow me to dream, ok?

Anyways, continuing on.

After the amazing, exciting performances of "O.K" and "Beautiful Target," the members started off their introductions in English. They were absolutely adorable and their accents were actually really good. (I GOT THE ENTIRE THING ON VIDEO OMG).

After introductions, they moved onto "I Won't Do Bad Things" and sadly, the security guards made us leave the pit and go back to our seats.To make sure that people don't sneak back into the pit, they had lined security guards up in the aisles.

I was crushed but I decided to make the most of it. After all, I was at my very first concert ever and I decided that I was going to have fun no matter what happened. 

The rest of the concert continued on and though I wasn't right next to the stage, I was having the best night of my life. 

BUT I HAVE ANOTHER SPAZZ-WORTHY MOMENT TO TELL

Along the end of "Wonderful Tonight," Jinyoung was singing at the left side of the stage and everyone had their attention on him. Gongchan was in front of our section, trying to get the crowd going and to move to the music. I had a green glowstick in my hand and as Gongchan was scanning the crowd, I threw a heart at him. AND HE ACCEPTED IT. HE MADE THIS "OH!" FACE OF RECOGNITION AND HE POINTED AT ME AND WAVED. THEN HE THREW ME BACK A HEART. 

I was having a heart attack. I turned to my friend, who had seen the whole exchange and we spazzed for about 3 seconds. When I looked back at Gongchan, he was laughing at my direction and he waved YET AGAIN when he saw me. 

It was heaven. And I was loving my very first concert ever experience. 

I think I floated through the rest of the concert in this adrendaline-fueled daze that not only my bias noticed me, but also interacted with me as well as recognizing me. 

The rest of the concert was amazing. There's just no words to describe it. I've always loved B1A4 and all of their music and this concert exceeded all the expectations I had. Their vocals are beautiful and they're just beautiful beautiful guys. I loved every single song and I genuinely enjoyed myself.

Then the concert ended AND IT WAS TIME FOR THE HI-TOUCH.

They had all the other people who didn't get P1 tickets leave the auditorium first and then they lined us up. My friends and I decided to go to the very back of the line, because, as we all know, if they see you last, they'll be more likely to remember you.

I was literally TREMBLING with excitement as we waited in line. It took us about 45 minutes before we were finally in the same room as B1A4.

I high-fived Jinyoung first and mumbled out a hurried "Kamsahabnida" as best as I could through my shaking lips and I bowed. He was the sweetest thing ever. He smiled and bowed and it was time for me to move on.

Sandeul was next and I did the same.

THEN IT WAS GONGCHAN.

When he saw me, he instantly went “Oh! Hi!” AND HE INTERLOCKED HIS FINGERS WITH MINE AND I WAS FREAKING OUT.

I didn’t know what to do!

So I swear I turned a brilliant shade of red and managed to garble out a “Saranghaeyo.”

Sadly, he then passed me off to Baro and I was still in my shocked, hyperventilating-omg-did-that-really-just-happen stage and I think I amused Baro a bit,  because he held his hands up for a high-five and I didn’t do anything because I was so shocked. 

I went into some kind of a robot mode as I muttered “Kamsahabnida” and quickly touched my hands to his. He laughed before passing me off to CNU.

I did the same that I did to Baro to CNU and he bowed and that was it.

As soon as CNU’s hands left mine, I was promptly rushed out of the room and into the parking lot of the theatre. The doors were immediately closed and locked after us.

The entire Hi-touch literally happened in a span of like 15 seconds.

But it was a 15 seconds in which I'll remember forever.

When I got to the outside, I immediately screamed as I realized what just happened suddenly HIT me. I was freaking out. I had just met someone famous. I had followed B1A4 for a long time and had always watched them on TV and music shows AND I. JUST. MET. THEM. Not to mention I TOUCHED THEM ALSO!

THEIR HANDS WERE SO FREAKING SOFT AND OHMYGOD I TOUCHED THEM! I. FREAKING. TOUCHED. THEM.

Also, GONGCHAN GAVE ME SO MUCH FANSERVICE! *Insert squealing, flailing, various fangirling motions, etc.*

Even now, as I type this, I'm literally squealing at my computer. 

I need to stop before I go on full-fangirl mode.

This was definitely the best experience of my life and I'm going to keep it with me forever and ever. 

As a Gongchan-biased fangirl, I can now die happily. 

B1A4: 사랑해요! Thank you guys for giving me the best night of my life. Thank you, Gongchan, for making my life. I love you. And I will support B1A4 forever.

B1A4. BANA. ♡

-Peace. ✌
