An Indescribable Feeling

Not One Hundred Percent

The next week was filled with preparations for BTS's trip to America for the Grammy Awards. Being their soulmate had almost made Anna forget how popular and well-known her soulmates were. The hype around their visit, the scheduling problems due to the number of interview requests they had gotten, and the anticipation of their first in-person performance at the Grammys was overwhelming. She didn't know why, but it felt like a different world than the one she had been living in so far.

Perhaps her soulmates being so occupied had contributed to Anna's low mood. While she'd had her ups and downs before, the past few days had hit her particularly hard, and she did not know why. Her laughter turned into tears, her mind was fuzzy, and she found herself wanting nothing more than to curl up under a blanket and hide from the world.

It didn't make sense for her to feel this way. She had found her soulmates, her happiness, so she had hoped that these feelings would no longer bother her. Before she had found them, the thought of her soulmate had been the only thing keeping her afloat. If she had not had that thought to hold on to, Anna was sure that she may have sunk under the weight of the other thoughts that had plagued her mind.

Although she'd had periods of low mood before, Anna had never felt so lost so suddenly. While she focused on finishing her album, she was no longer taking classes with the other trainees. Which was lucky as she was not able to focus on anything in her current state.

It was the day that BTS were due to fly out and they had been given the day off to pack. Jungkook was going before the others, first thing in the morning, followed by the others later that day. Anna had been given time off to join her soulmates on their trip to America but wouldn't be joining them until later in the week.

Early that morning before he left for the airport, Jungkook said goodbye to his soulmates. Anna had made him promise to wake her to say goodbye despite the early hour, but it was very hard to do so when she looked so peacefully asleep. He brushed her hair odd her face as he gently woke her up. He smiled as he watched her, hum and stretch as her eyes opened blearily.

"Are you going now?"

"Yes. I'll miss you so much, Noona."

"It's only for a few days, but I'll miss you too."

"Bye. See you soon."

"Phone me when you get there, okay? Bye-bye, Kookie."

Jungkook struggled to leave her. Although Anna smiled at him as she said goodbye, her low mood over the past few days had not gone unnoticed. In the hallway, Jin, Namjoon, and Hoseok saw him off.

"Hyungs... I can't leave her."

"Don't worry, Kook. We'll look after her."

"Yeah. You've got important business to do."

"But, hyungs, you all leave later today. Noona's going to be by herself."

"Jungkookie, if it comes to it, I'll stay behind with her."

"Hoseok -"

"It'll only be for a few days. You can manage without me until then. Just say I'm sick or had a family emergency."

"Really?"

"Anything for Anna. I'd do anything for any one of my soulmates. You all come first. Now, off you go Jungkookie. Don't want to miss your flight!"

"Okay. Bye!"

After the youngest had left, Jin turned to Hoseok.

"Are you really going to stay behind?"

"If she needs me to, yes."

"We should've just all gone at the same time."

"It's too late to change things now."
