An Indescribable Feeling

Rock, Paper, Smile

"I still can't get over how good the food is here."

Anna was having lunch in the HYBE cafeteria with Namjoon. It was a late lunch as it was the only time that they were both free, but neither of them minded. Getting to spend more time together was their only goal, no matter where or when.

"Well, food is very important to us at HYBE."

She smiled at her soulmate's joke and thought about how much all of her boys ate - which was a lot.

"True, but I meant Korea in general."

"Was the food really that bad back home?"

"Well... maybe it was just me, but I often found myself eating just for the sake of it - because we need to eat to live - not because I enjoyed it."

"That's... sad."

"There must be a reason that you all eat Korean food when you're abroad."

"We don't... only eat Korean food. We just miss it when we're travelling."

"Uh-huh."

Movement nearby caught Anna's attention. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw someone waving. When she turned to look, she saw two members of TXT, Yeonjun and Taehyun. The two boys looked as if they were going to approach her table until they realised who she was with.

Anna smiled and waved back, causing Namjoon to turn to see who she was looking at. With the BTS leader looking their way, the two TXT members bowed politely and waved at Anna again before hurrying away. Her soulmate turned back to face her with a furrowed brow.

"I noticed it at Gayo Daejeon. Those boys really like you. When did you become so close?"

"Well, I wouldn't say we're close..."

"It's almost like they worship you. I know they look up to us as their Sunbae's, but what did you do to impress them so much?"

"I guess I just have that effect on people."

"You do seem to gain the attention of other Idols quite easily."

"Umm, did you hear how I first met them?"

"TXT? I introduced you to everyone."

"No. Well, yes, but I mean the first time I really spoke to them."

"Then, no. Should I have?"

"I was recording my cover of their song, 0X1=LOVESONG, for my YouTube channel. The staff must have been talking about it because TXT somehow found out about it and turned up at the recording studio."

"For some reason, this doesn't surprise me."

"So, I was recording, and you know I stand with my back to the window because I find it off-putting to have someone watching me, well, after I finished, I turned around and jumped out of my skin. Right there, standing on the other side of the window, was all five of them. Apparently, they loved my rendition of their song."

"Of course, they did."

Anna smiled shyly and a little awkwardly at her soulmate's response. They always acted as if anything she did would always be good, always be liked, but for her, she expected failure from herself.

"I love that song. I hope you have a rock song in your next album."

"Nice try, but you won't be getting any spoilers from me."

"You'll slip up one day."

"I will."

Namjoon smiled at the sound of her laughter.
