Yuanfen : Destined To Be Together

Chapter 6

2022
Yongsan-gu, Seoul, Korea.

All the members of BTS were now resting after hours of dance practice. They were passing a busy time nowadays. The continuous performances on Permission To Dance and Butter was keeping all of them on their toes.
Even though all of them were a little upset as their military enlistment time was approaching, they were trying to live on the present and enjoy every event they shared together with the ARMY's.

Hoseok laughed patting Jungkook's back as he spoke to the members,
"Guys, our Jungkookie has grown up. He says he'll write songs about love for his first solo album."
Yoongi was resting at the corner, looking unbothered as he replied with a small smirk, "Our Jungkookie has indeed grown up. He knows everything."
Jungkook pouted slightly but his lips twitched at the corner, fighting a smile as he spoke,
"You all know everything too. Besides, I'm an adult. I should know everything."

Jin chimed in, "What do you say Love...I will write a song for my tuna fish. I never caught a tuna."
Jin shook his head dramatically as he imagined catching a tuna fish some day.

Namjoon spoke up diverting his focus from the screen, "Hoseok has been working for his first solo album too. You didn't let me hear a snippet, keep it in mind, Hoseok-ah."

All of them laughed softly. Jimin and Taehyung were all quiet, playing games together on their phone. Jungkook jumped on Jimin's back making him groan.

"Yah! I'll lose! Move!"
Jungkook giggled as he replied, "That's the plan. Why are you two on phone?"

Jin chuckled and pretended to scold them,
"Kids these days have become very uncivilized. They don't give time to their closed ones and spend more time on games."

Taehyung spoke up with a smirk, his eyes still glued to the screen,
"Hyung, don't forget we have a 3-hour match at night. On online of course."

Hoseok's heartfelt laughter echoed in the room, followed by everyone's chuckle.

Later that day, after the dance practice, video shoots and recording, all of them went back to their apartments.

Jimin tossed his jacket on the couch as he took off his shoes and closed the door behind him softly. He always leaves the light of the living room on, so that when he comes back home, he doesn't have to get welcomed by the darkness.
He sighed and slowly got freshened up. As he walked out of the bathroom wrapping a towel around his waist, he looked around is room which was a total mess. He didn't get to tidy up his room for past four days. And he didn't have the energy to do that today either.
He slipped into his shorts and started drying his hair. As he looked at the mirror, he found himself wondering how he will pass the days without the members. Without working as a team, without meeting the ARMYs.
They were working on their upcoming album, PROOF. The fact that only they'd be knowing about their enlistment during the upcoming shows was surging a pang in his heart.

He was upset, nervous, excited, all at once. And it was irritating.
He had already had dinner with the members, so all he now needed to do was sleeping. He pushed the piles of the clothes to the side of the bed and laid down on the other side, pulling the blankets over him.

He scrolled through the social media, seeing the reactions of the ARMYs which made his heart flutter. He smiled at the screen.

After awhile he entered his group chat with the members where Jungkook and Hoseok was laughing about something. He joined the conversation too and ended up chatting for one hour.
He finally decided to put down his phone and turned it off along with the lamp, plunging the room into darkness.
The light of the universe lighten above him was soothing him to sleep.

He had a brief thought of loneliness. But pushed it aside quickly and drifted off to his dreamland.
