An Indescribable Feeling

What Happens Next

Things did not go to plan.

The rest of the rehearsal didn't end as quickly as the boys had hoped. Despite the plans some of them had for when they finally got home, they also didn't want to end practice until they were satisfied with their results. Sometimes BTS could be their own harshest critics.

It gave Anna plenty of time to think. She thought about what might happen later, what she wanted to happen, and what she was ready for. She hadn't taken the final step with any of her soulmates yet. Not that she hadn't thought about it, in fact, ever since Jungkook had admitted to being a virgin she often wondered when she should take the plunge.

While she waited, it was the perfect time to observe her soulmates, which was a polite way of saying 'blatantly stare at them while they practice'. Although she had spent all her time before meeting BTS watching them on a screen, seeing them perform in person what completely different. Not being reliant on cameras meant she had a 360-degree view, and what a view it was.

The petition to close the gyms at HYBE had become a big topic amongst fans. Over the past year, the members of BTS had buffed up considerably, and they had also become less shy about showing it. While Jungkook had already been known as a muscle bunny - and most notably flashes his abs during the choreography for Fake Love - the other members tended to be a little more subtle about what was hidden beneath their clothes.

Jin was the shyest about showing any skin. One time he didn't realize his shirt was partially see-through until he was on stage and ARMY's pointed it out. He spent the rest of the time in that outfit trying to cover the area with his hands. So it came as a shock when in the music video for Permission to Dance his shirt had a few buttons undone.

The first member who started the 'close the gym' petition was Namjoon. The leader had been surprised when ARMY had taken such an interest in his new workout schedule, but he happily talked about it on his V Lives. Yoga, weight training, and a focus on shoulder exercises due to an old issue. The difference in pictures from less than two years ago compared to now was obvious.

Most recently, the focus was on Jimin. At their debut, he was known as the most muscular member and was chosen to be the one to reveal his abs in No More Dream. He was also known for always wearing sleeveless tops back then, and that seemed to be returning, along with his impressively defined arms. ARMY's had also commented on how healthy he was looking recently.

Anna closed her eyes with a groan. Maybe she shouldn't take this opportunity to ogle her soulmates. After a couple of hours, she was tired just from watching them and wondered how they managed to keep going for so long. When they finally finished rehearsing for the day, all the boys collapsed where they were.

Seeing Taehyung dragging himself towards their water bottles, Anna quickly stood up and started handing them out to her very grateful, but exhausted soulmates. When she got to Jin who was laying flat on the ground, he couldn't even raise his head, so Anna had to help him sit up to drink.

"I'm getting too old for this."

"Me too."

Anna turned to Yoongi who had laid back down, his arm covering his face, after drinking his water.

"You two have been saying that for years."

"I don't know, Hoseok-Hyung, turning thirty is pretty old..."

"Yah!"

Jungkook laughed as he moved out of the way of the water bottle Jin threw at him.

A hand on her thigh brought Anna's attention back to Yoongi.

"Sorry, we took so long to finish."

"Don't be. Your passion for your work is one of the things I admire most about you."
