On Monday morning, Anna and Yoongi found themselves sitting in a conference room waiting for Hitman Bang to arrive. She had dressed up a little, wanting to look professional, but her soulmate had failed to hide his laugh when he saw her. Although he had earned himself a whack on the arm and an upset soulmate, Yoongi had smoothed things over by telling Anna had cute she was getting all dressed up for her big meeting.

Anna wasn't freaking out, but she was nervous. The first and last time she had met Bang Sihyuk had not been under the best circumstances, but her soulmate seemed certain that this meeting would be a positive one. However, that did stop her from fidgeting as they waited. It was her fault for insisting they get there early.

Yoongi rested a hand on her knee to stop her as she crossed and uncrossed her legs. Anna took his hand and held it between both of hers instead. Her soulmate leaned over and kissed her forehead.

"This is why you shouldn't turn up early for things. Waiting is torture."

"Sorry that I didn't want to be late for our boss!"

"Think of all the things we could've done if you had just stayed in bed a little longer."

Even if Anna could have thought of a retort, she wouldn't have had time to say it, as the man they had been waiting for entered the room. She prayed that the blush she could feel on her cheeks wasn't too obvious as they all greeted each other.

"First of all, Anna, how are you? How are you finding being a trainee."

"Oh! Um, I'm good. It's, well, it's everything I dreamed of and more. Yes, it's hard work, but it's worth it."

"Good. I'm glad to hear that. So, Yoongi sent me the album you've been working on. Can you tell us a bit about it?"

"The theme, or rough title, is wonders of the heart. It's a collection of stories about types of love: Self-love, romantic love, the love fans have for Idols."

"Yes. I think you did a good job of capturing those ideas in your songs. I'm sure your fans will find it very relatable. Continuing working on it with Yoongi and let me know when it's finished so we can start discussing your debut."

"Thank you."

"I have spoken to all your teachers, and they told me how impressed they have been with your progress over the past few months. You should be very proud of yourself. You've worked hard."

"I - er, thank you."

"Now, the next part of my plan for you is to arrange for you to have a fan meeting."

"Fan meeting?"

"Yes. Nothing too big. You'll perform the covers you've been posting on YouTube and did for your trainee assignments. I'd also like you to do at least one original song, it can be from the album you're working on. Also, you answer some questions or play some games as well as meet each fan individually. Does that all sound okay?"

"Yes?"

"You don't sound very sure?"

"Yes! I'm sure, Bang PD-nim. Thank you for this opportunity. I won't let you down."

"I know you won't, Anna. I believe in you. One last thing, it will take place in three weeks. We'll confirm all the details and then I would like to do a Live announcing it. Okay?"

"Okay."

"Wonderful. I have another meeting to attend. You two enjoy the rest of your day."

"Thank you, PD-nim."

After he left the room, Anna rested her hand on the table to support herself before moving to sit on the edge of it. She was still processing what had just happened.

Yoongi moved to stand in front of her.

"Shame you didn't take me up on my bet."

"For you, you mean."

"You would've enjoyed yourself."

"Either way, he didn't actually say that I'm ready to debut."

"No, he just gave you your first fan meeting. That doesn't mean he thinks you're ready at all."

Anna scrunched her nose, pulling a funny face since she knew she had lost this argument.

"Yoongi... what if no one turns up?"

"How many people watch your YouTube channel? You have fans and they will be so excited to come to your fan meeting."

"Are they my fans though? ARMY follows me and watches me hoping for behind the scenes access to you guys. If they come to my fan meeting it will be with the hope that at least one of my soulmates will be there."

"I can't say that that won't be the case. It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to plainly state that none of us will be there. Still, I don't think you need to worry about people wanting to come."

"I hope your right or my career as an Idol will have ended before it's even begun."

"That won't happen. Shall we go tell the other the good news?"

"Yes, but afterwards, are you using your studio today?"

"No, we've got dance rehearsals all afternoon, why?"

"I wanted to research what to do for my fan meeting."

"Research? How do you research that?"

"By watching other fan meetings, of course. How many have you done now? Six? You must have the recordings, right?"

"I'm not sure our old fan meetings are a great example, but sure, I won't stop you."

"Good. This is nice. I had such a great weekend and then Bang PD gave me today off as well."

"Don't get used to it. Once you debut, you'll be even busier."

"I look forward to it."

Anna had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. As she told Yoongi, she did watch some of their older fan meetings while taking notes for ideas. She also listed all the covers she had done on YouTube, vocal and dance. Something she needed to think about was the order of things, she couldn't do a heavy dance number and then sing a breathy ballad.

Coming up with a theme was difficult. She wanted to come up with something fun and original that she could use to tie in the games and the performances, but she couldn't think of anything. In the end, Anna had pencilled in using the theme of her first album for her first show. Of course, she still had to run this all by her staff, but they were usually very open to all of her ideas. HYBE was all about creative freedom.

That evening, Anna was given the go-ahead to announce her fan meeting.

"Hello everyone! Welcome to Annyeong Anna: LIVE.

Today, I'm here to announce some big news. In three weeks, I will be having a fan meeting. Yay!

I know a lot of you have been asking in the comments if I will be releasing any original songs because you love my singing voice. Thank you. I also saw some of you suggesting that I should become an Idol. So, if the fan meeting isn't a big enough hint, I can finally confirm that I am a trainee.

Yeah, um, so I hope I can put on a good show for you. I'll sing some songs, dance, answer some questions, and just have some fun. Oh, and there might be a surprise or two, so look forward to it. If you have any suggestions for songs you would like me to cover, comment below and I'll do my best to include them in the show.

Disclaimer. BTS will not be at my fan meeting. Just in case any of you thought this would be a chance to see them, I didn't want you to be disappointed. Okay?

Okay and finally, and most importantly, how to get a ticket. Tickets will be limited, so I've decided they will be allocated randomly. After I finish this video, I will provide a link for those who want to enter the ticket raffle. All you have to do is tell me about someone, or something, you love the most. The winners will be announced in exactly two weeks.

I can't wait to see you. Bye!"
