An Indescribable Feeling

Love Isn't Easy

As the fireworks ended, Jin's attention was drawn elsewhere. He noticed that Namjoon was focused on something beside them, something which was making him smile. Jin turned to face the same direction as his leader's gaze. What he saw was his youngest and his new soulmate locked together in their own passionate bubble. His heart warmed at the sight, as this meant that Anna finally felt safe and comfortable with them.

Excited he looked down at his right hand. For ten years he had only had a number on his ring finger and now he was excited to see what the ring representing their bond would look like. However, when he looked, the number one was still present instead of a ring.

"Jin? What's wrong?"

"Joonie..."

"What is it?"

"Look."

They both stared at Jin's hand for a moment before Namjoon raised his hand as well only to see the same thing. Their strange behaviour caught the attention of their other soulmates.

"What are you guys looking at?"

"Oh."

Now they were all staring at their left ring fingers in confusion.

"Hyung, why hasn't it changed?"

If this were a perfect fairy tale, Anna and Jungkook would have carried on being oblivious to the world around them, but instead, the constant whispering drew them out of their bubble. Anna stared up at Jungkook in a daze wondering if she was dreaming. After a moment Jungkook broke out into a big bunny grin and Anna couldn't help but smile back. It was such a beautiful sight that it took his breath away.

Eventually, they looked toward their other soulmates who were still whispering to each other. That was when Jungkook and Anna noticed the looks on their faces. Something was wrong.

"Hyung? What's wrong?"

"Kookie..."

"Look at your hand."

"Huh?"

Jungkook lifted his right hand.

"Your left hand Jungkook."

"Oh! Why? What's...?"

"What's wrong? What are you all looking at?"

Once Jungkook realised what the others wanted him to see, he grabbed Anna's left hand. It was bare.

"No! It can't be... what... why...? Namjoon Hyung?!"

It was then that it hit Anna, they were looking at their soulmate bond marks. Theirs which hadn't changed from a one into a ring and hers which hadn't appeared at all. Her soulmate mark which should have appeared when she kissed her soulmate.

Why didn't it appear? The mark always appears when someone kisses their soulmate. Unless... No! Could we have been wrong?

Anna stumbled back away from the boys. The only thought that was racing through her mind at that moment was 'I'm not their soulmate'. She had to get away. Somehow, she managed to walk inside the hotel room and into the bedroom where she collapsed on the floor beside the bed.

Meanwhile, the boys outside were trying to make sense of what had just happened.

"Hyung? Why hasn't our mark changed? Why didn't Anna's mark appear?"

"I'm sure there is an explanation why nothing has happened... yet."

"Yes. Maybe it just takes a little time..."

"But for the rest of us they appeared or changed straight away! As soon as we kissed!"

"I think we all need to calm down and not jump to conclusions. Okay?"
