An Indescribable Feeling

Meaningful Conversations

It was late one afternoon when Anna was proofreading the subtitles for a Bangtan Bomb, that she was interrupted by a pleasant surprise. She was startled by a familiar voice calling her name from right behind her. She twirled around in the chair to find Namjoon behind her.

"Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you."

"It's okay. I jump easily."

She watched with interest as the leader nodded his head before he started fidgeting. He looked nervous for some reason and she would be worried if he didn't look so cute.

"Why are you here, Joonie?"

He blushed a bit at the cute nickname but stopped fidgeting and smiled down at Anna.

"Your Korean is definitely improving. Um, well I was wondering if you would like to go out on a date with me?"

"A date? Now?"

"Yes. I managed to finish all my work early, so I've got the evening free."

"Oh, wow, great! I mean, I would love to. Let me just finish this. I'll only be a few minutes."

"Take your time."

Anna turned back to her computer and carried on with her work. Namjoon grabbed a nearby chair and wheeled it over so he could sit next to her while she finished up.

If there was one thing Anna didn't like, it was someone watching her work or looking over her shoulder, particularly on a computer as it was easy to see what she was doing. The reason was that she didn't want anyone to see her do something wrong. She had a thing about never getting anything wrong as if she had to be perfect all the time. Any little mistake ended up haunting her for years.

"Do you like working here?"

"Yes. I do like working here. The people are friendly. The office is amazing. My job is interesting and involves my favourite boys. It's great. Thank you for arranging it."

"No, don't thank me. It was for selfish reasons really. I thought if you worked in the same building as me, I might get to see you more. Hasn't really worked out for me, but I know the other guys are happy."

"Yes, I get lots of visits."

"Do they come here a lot? If they're bothering you too much while you're working, I can tell them to tone it down? Or is it annoying the staff? I hope they're not making the staff dislike you?"

"Whoa, no, no, not at all. Don't you know that none of the staff here are immune to BTS's charms?"

Anna leaned in towards Namjoon so that he could hear her whisper.

"In fact, they thanked me for getting the boys to visit here. Makes the office more attractive."

He chuckled and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Good. That's good to hear. I'm glad you are enjoying working here. I did worry that it was forced on you or you felt you didn't have any other choice. But now your face is known to the public, it would be difficult to work anywhere else."

"Joon, please try not to worry about me so much. You have enough on your plate. Those six soulmates of ours are a handful. How have you been dealing with them all this time?"

Seeing the cheeky grin on her face, along with the playful tone of her voice made Namjoon smile at Anna's attempt at humour.

"It's not easy. I thought they would calm down as they got older, but I think it's getting worse!"
