Affinity for your Heart - BTS x Reader

Chapter 17

You had been sat nervously fiddling with the ends of your hair for over half an hour now, watching mindlessly as girl after girl went up to receive their elements.

"Kim Chan-hee, you have been blessed with the Element Air, congratulations"

You mindlessly clapped along with the rest of the school, your nerves spiking again as you watched Ji-Hye reach into the Chalice for the next name.

Please not me, please not me!

"Y/N L/N"

You name being called rendering you almost catatonic, a buzzing in your ears appearing as a consequence of the now crippling anxiety.

Jungkook tapping your shoulder to get your attention barely registered to you as you stared straight ahead.

"Y/N! Y/N it's your turn!" He whispered urgently to you.

You felt a hand lace through yours, the contact instantly sending a cold shiver up your spine.

"You can do this Y/N!" Jimin's cheery voice came from somewhere a little too close to your ear.

Still having not moved even an inch you suddenly felt Jungkook stand up from beside you, reaching down to hook his arms around you so he could forcibly pull you to your feet.

"Up we go Y/N!" He cooed at you, zero strain in his voice from picking you up.

He really is just a big muscly baby

The amusing thought thankfully sparked a bit of life back into you.

As soon as Jungkook let you go so he could push you out of the row you shakily grasped onto the back of the bench in front of you, desperately trying to regain your balance.

"I can do this, I can do this" You whispered to yourself, inaudible to everyone except Jungkook apparently.

"Yes you can! Now go!" He cheered, voice barely above a whisper as he pushed you out into the aisle, "Love you bunk bud!"

You gulped loudly as you stared straight ahead towards the platform stairs, slowly shuffling towards them.

This is it

My worst fears coming to life

Please just give me one normal element, please don't make a scene.

As soon as you ascended the stairs your vision started to blur, the anxiety now peaking at a dangerous level.

You froze in place just before the Altar circle, staring at the Elemental Candles as if they were about to attack you.

Oh my god.

I can't do this!

You must have paused for an ungodly amount of time, but it was unclear to you in the moment.

You felt a light breeze whip around you suddenly, a whisper following it.

"You can do this Y/N! We're with you!"

Namjoon's voice startling you slightly as you whipped your head to look out into the audience.

Sure enough there they were.

Yoongi, Jin, Hoseok and Namjoon all stood up in their row, flashing you various motions of encouragement.

Your lips twitched into the ghost of a smile, the support alleviating some of the pressure.

You watched as Hoseok brought his hands in front of him, forming a small growling purple orb, and directing it to you.

The orb vanished as quickly as it had appeared just as you felt a wave of calm rush over you.
