Let's just feel the youth
Young, wild and free

In the morning, Jhope woke up with a very uneasy feeling in his stomach. He felt unnaturally sick. The Hope world crew came back yesterday for the last shooting of the mixtape.

All of them were highly satisfied with the lyrics, arrangements, cover, the promotion for ARMY has been done by the company and the Bangtan boys themselves. Hobi is so very grateful.

His penthouse apartment has been furnished, and on weekends he plans to come to spend alone time or invites his parents for a visit. His sister Jiwoo has done a fine job.

She is in the USA, spending time with Jordan and his family. Jordan was visiting South Korea a week ago.

Today the dance trainee auditions will commence again. Jungkook had to sit in the morning with the group of Africa/Australia. Sungdeuk was very impressed with all of them but had to cut out 3. He will sit in this afternoon at 4 pm with the batch of Europe and Canada. They are all excited to complete the last leg of the auditions race.

The new successful trainees will immediately start training day. The ones who will immediately be inducted into the official BTS dance crew will start intense rehearsals with the BTS and the crew for the upcoming Award, Music, and Appearance shows.

Jhope couldn't get rid of the uneasy feeling. He felt hot and nauseous. But he knows he is not sick. Jin-Hyung and Noona were very worried and made him ginger soup even lemon green tea with raw ginger in a bottle to settle his strange feeling in his stomach.

The bodyguard and Hobeom came to fetch him and Jungkook at home. He bowed and greeted them cheerfully, even if he doesn't feel that way.

In the car, he put on his playlist for relaxing.

"Are you ok ,Hobi-Hyung?"Jungkook furrowed his eyebrows to a very distracted and disconnected hyung.

Hobi looks at Jungkook with a deep frown between his brows," To tell you the truth, Kooks, I have no idea why I felt like this. Last night I had a soul mark reaction. My ankle hurts. I just hope Sungdeuk doesn't need a demonstration from me. I'm feeling out of my elements, As if my soul is visiting another dimension...I'm so tired."

Junkook smile and pat his Hyung on the knee."Don't worry, and you'll be fine. Today's group tops. Sungdeuk said he was waiting for this group with anticipation. We will have a great session, and maybe it's the aftermath of your mixtape shooting. You feel nervous about the reception of your solo."

Hobi nodded," Maybe..." but he isn't so sure that that was the case. This is not an anxious feeling like when they were awaiting the Albums charts results, no it was more ominous.

Something that will change the cause of his life. Something that might derail him from cause something that will pull him out of the daydream of his well-ordered life.

Soon they reach the agency's private parking lot. Few bodyguards were waiting for him and Jungkook also. The bodyguards escorted them to the elevators to the 3rd floor-bighit dance studios where the auditions were taken place since the First week of February.

The floor was buzzing. The bodyguards took them aside from a private entrance through an office inside the studio. Three of Bighits leading dance choreographers were seated at a long table.

Pdogg also took time off to come and observe and vote. He and Jungkook came in bow respectfully at the older Hyungs and took a seat.

He was surprised to see few interns with clipboards, water trays mending the registration table outside the studio. Placing nametags on those who audition. The ones who cut the previous weeks came today for the final rehearsals together as a team to sit in.

After the trainees have been chosen from this last group, the final group will be given one of their most challenging dance choreography, and Sungdeuk and his team will select the ones who will train for months or even years or join the BTS touring dance crew. All the hopefuls are praying for cutting the crew.

The successful trainees will then rehearse with the dance crew and BTS daily. They can't wait for their names to be called.

Some of the auditioned trainees came with companions, especially those who were under 21 years. The mature companions had to present their ID cards to validate all information on the forms.

Inside the studio were chairs at the back of the wall in three rows. The front area was open for the dance breaks.

Sungdeuk looks very pleased," Hobi, glad you could make it for the finals."

Jhope smile a little," Can't wait to see our final group. It seems like the hallway is filled with excitement." He looked around at the big empty studio.

Sungdeuk chuckle," Our chosen ones from the previous elimination groups are also here for the final reveal. But first, we need to get the eliminations done from Europe/ UK and Canada. we might finish by 8 pm."

"Whoa... I'm already hungry." Jungkook groans.

" An intern will take orders for early lunch/supper. So don't forget to put in your orders by Sol. I, Jungwoon, or Dove. They have their name tags on. Our interns are working hard and well today; I must say little Dove takes the leadership here..." Sungdeuk notifies them. Jungkook smiles brightly. He wants Panda express.

Jhope inwardly groans. O, please, not Dove again today. He wouldn't have the energy to deal with her 'caring nature' today. She brought him a tin filled with sweet treats. He had it in his office and gave most away to the producers and choreographers during tea time. His noona doesn't like her at all and contemplates that Dove is up to something.

He knows Dove is up to mischief. She wants him back but hides behind the friendship facade.

Luckily they will start in 10 minutes. The videographer (an intern) is also ready to put all of the dancers on tape.

The trainees took their places at the side of the wall sitting on the floor. The space in the middle of the studio is empty.

The chairs are filled with the companions of the underage trainees.

Where Jhope sat drinking his water, he felt his heart beating erratically. Doesn't he understand why? The air around him became dense. Something is tucking at his heart codes. What the freaken hell is this? Sungdeuk was welcoming the group (visitors) and the trainees.

With the sight of Jhope and Jungkook, there were excited chatter and giggles from girls. The Bangtan boys wave at the very enthusiastic crowd who couldn't believe that two Superstars will sit in.

Hobi was sitting with a slight smirk, and Jungkook looks a little nervous. Jungkook hates too many eyes on him. He was just looking down on his clipboard in front of him.

J hopes stomach was acting out again; he felt nauseous. He grabs his water bottle and gulps huge sips of water, but the feeling doesn't leave him. But his attention was taken quickly by Jungwoon, an intern who came to take their lunch orders. He ordered a menu from mama's touch. And Jungkook from Panda Express.

Doves eyes were the whole time on him. Their eyes lock on each other, a beautiful smile graced her features. He inhaled slightly at the sight of her cause she is indeed a beautiful girl. Most of the dancers' eyes were wandering off in her direction, and some were openly gawking at another girl who came in and sat covered with a cute Asian guy at the back.

The guy's arms are embracing her around her tiny shoulders. They were leaning in to each other and whispering. Maybe they are happy soulmates. He didn't see her full frontal facial features, but her profile is beautiful. He again felt that tuck in his heart, but he just dismisses it.

Dove wondered why she feels suddenly so uneasy. The girls, accompanied by their cousins, brothers, soulmates, were super excited for the Bangtan boys. Their eyes were only on the two idols.

She hates it-she and Sol. I was sitting in the back seats with few visitors; one girl was so excited she said she likes Hobi a lot.

He is her bias. Dove secretly hates their ARMY. They were so toxic when they attacked her on social media. Luckily no one posted pics of her.

She and Sol. I are the two in line with a permanent job at Bighit. She just wishes Seoki will stop being so petty and gave their relationship another chance. He's going to be 25 years in a few days. They were supposed to get married or engaged this year, on their bucket list.

She knows he still loves her. He is not immune to her. She just needs to have more time to convince him about her love for him. It was always him. He was it for her. Hobi is too kind to be openly rude to her.

Fortunately, she came clean to his parents and Jiwoo. They forgave her even Jiwoo wants Hobi to rebuild their relationship. She hasn't spoken to Jiwoo for weeks now.

The audition was in process, and the audience and dancers can feel the anxiety and nervous anticipation in the studio...Hobi smiled when the first auditionee starts dancing, and the audience excitedly clapped...

Hobi felt worse as the sixth auditionee took center stage...

He looks a little greyish and nudges Jungkook," I'll be right back...I feel sick!!!" He whispered to Jungkook, who looked a little concerned at his Hyung, who bowed to Pdogg, who looked worried at Jhopes'face, which looks wet with perspiration.

Hobi quickly leaves the studio at the side door...he couldn't handle it anymore.

Y/n pov

The Wilson-Twins and their sister land very early at Incheon airport. They were very excited, and the air is not as cold as they predicted.

The group quickly find a convenience store inside the airport and buy T-money cards for their transportation needs for now.

Kenichi is the only one that can converse in Korean with a beautiful British accent.

He got the number for Delux Uber, a 7-seater van for all their luggage needs. Uber took them to their Airbnb. Your parents paid for them a month's stay. The owner left them instructions on how everything works.

The twins were screaming at the sight of such a modem, upmarket condo. They chose their rooms. Unpacked quickly because they need to get ready for the auditions of an already nervous Kenichi.

The rooms are surprisingly very light tones. You love the big knitted blanket. You can't wait to come to snuggle up with your laptop or even in front of the tv.

"You've decided to order a takeaway for tonight, and tomorrow you and the twins can go shopping.

Suddenly, you felt a nervous excitement in your stomach. You couldn't quite fathom what it was all about. Your heart was pounding, and your hands began to sweat.

You simply shrugged it off, attributing it to the high expectations for the auditions. You and Keitaro had even discussed what you'd do if Kenichi didn't make it. Kenichi was highly optimistic, not just about making it but also becoming part of the BTS dance crew.

You hoped for the best, dreading any disappointment. Keitaro promptly phoned your parents, updating them about the flight and the comfortable condo they'd rented for you. This eased your mind a bit. You refreshed yourself by changing into an olive green crop top, wide pants reaching your calves, yellow converse sneakers, and a loose yellow top.

As the time to head to the auditions approached, Kenichi booked an Uber to take you to the Bighit studios.

The excitement was palpable in the air. A sense of elation grew as you neared your destination. Quickly, you sent text messages to Byron and Sarah, sharing short video clips of the road you were traveling along with images of your condo and happy photos of the twins. You promised to send them pictures of Bighit to share with Angie and Marge, the biggest ARMYs.

Arriving at the entrance, you noticed a crowd of young men standing in line. You took Kenichi's folder and ensured he had everything; going back for forgotten papers would be foolish.

'Blimey, sis, I'm not scatterbrained...I made sure all my info is with me,' he chuckled, looking around with interest at the diverse group of potential trainees.

You were impressed that Bighit had initiated a new trend by hiring individuals of different races worldwide. They were bound to gain more fame now.

Upon entering and validating Kenichi's audition letter, the ground staff directed you to the 3rd floor where the studios were located.

The excited chatter of the people around you was reassuring, yet you had butterflies in your tummy as if you were the one auditioning. Keitaro had his arm around your shoulders.

Amused, you looked up at him, "Why so clingy today?"

Keitaro leaned down, whispering in your ear, "I detest the lustful stares from these chaps. They can't stop discreetly checking you out...jeez!"

You giggled and lightly slapped his chest, "Only you would think that way; stop eyeing them as if you want to hit them."

Keitaro just shook his head. Meanwhile, Kenichi was chatting and making new friends among the European crew, all dressed comfortably in dance attire. One blond lad was winking at you, prompting Keitaro's protective reaction.

When it was time to enter the studio, he ensured you took the back seats to avoid unwanted attention. You couldn't help but giggle at his protective nature. Kenichi brought you bottles of water available for attendees.

You suddenly felt edgy. Two girls, seemingly interns, took seats next to you - one named Dove and the other Sol.I who had endearing deep dimples. Dove was stunning, radiating a bright smile beside Sol.I Two other girls took a seat and started fangirling upon noticing two Bangtan idols. Your breath hitched.

It was your bias and Sarah's bias wrecker, Jungkook. They were striking. Seated at the far end of the studio at a long table with a few judges or instructors, but your focus was on Hobi.

He looked fantastic in his "Dreamer theme" t-shirt, but you sensed a slight discomfort in his demeanor. You hoped he wasn't unwell. Jungkook seemed shy, waving at the excited crowd that spotted them. Mr. Son introduced and welcomed the instructors and warmly greeted Jhope and Jungkook as observers and part of the voting judges.

The screams from the people around you were deafening. Once everything settled down, Sungdeuk instructed the auditionees to take seats by the wall side as they entered with their numbers. You and Keitaro clapped loudly.

A girl named Maria from Portugal was squealing so loudly that Dove scolded her.

"Hi, what's wrong with you? Management will remove you from the studio." She spoke in perfect English.

Maria fan herself," sorry ...oh...Minha nossa!!! (Oh my goodness) Jhope is smoking hot... he is my bias!! Hobi is so" material de namarado" ( boyfriend material), gosh look at him...just observe such pure sexy at its best"she waves and points where Hobi was seated.

Dove with a disgusted face," Yeah, well, he's never going to date an ARMY."

Maria snorts," Oh serio! ( oh really)...they all said they would date...ARMY's everyone has a chance, so..."

You giggle at their conversation, and Maria is quite enterprising. She just can't be bothered at Doves berating, but Your blood runs cold with what came out next.

Dove snickers, but her eyes flashed," Yes, Oh serio! I'm an intern working for Bighit. I have interaction with most of the band, and I happen to know that Jhope (Jung Hoseok) is in a committed relationship for over ten years...so baby, you have no chance." She wiped an imaginary tear off.

Certainly, here's the passage rewritten in British English:

You felt a pang of disappointment. You couldn't understand why you felt so disheartened that Jhope was unavailable. Bighit never officially confirmed him as being part of any soulmate club.

Maria furrowed her dark eyebrows, "Odd... are you an ARMY?" Folding her arms, she raised her eyebrows.

Dove took a cautious breath and said, "Sorry, I can't disclose that information as a Bighit intern."

Maria smiled sarcastically, "Well, in that case, you must be living under a rock. The global ARMY knows he dumped his two-timing ex-girlfriend, his 'childhood puppy love crush,' who isn't even his soulmate! Stupid fool!"

With that, she clicked her fingers in Dove's face, causing her to wince and step backward, looking at Maria with visible disgust on her pretty face.

You and Keitaro suddenly erupted into loud snorts. Dove glanced at you with narrowed eyes. You pressed your lips together, wrapping your arms around Keitaro's waist, stifling your giggles into your brother's side, who was still quietly chuckling.

Keitaro whispered in your ear, "Burn!"

You whispered back, "On ice!"

You suddenly felt uplifted, not because Maria put Dove in her place, but due to what she revealed about Hobi (Jhope) dumping his ex-girlfriend. You vaguely recalled reading something about that. You felt sorry for him and hoped he would recover from it.

Perhaps his soulmate could help him heal, but Sarah mentioned he had mentioned in multiple interviews that he didn't want one presently. It's a pity because he's fantastic 'boyfriend' material.

Your attention refocused on Sungdeuk, demonstrating a complex dance move from the BTS 2013-2015 era.

He called upon the group to mirror his dance. You and Keitaro were impressed by Kenichi; he knew all the moves. Wow. He was genuinely a BTS fan after all.

The audience clapped enthusiastically and cheered. Jhope was smiling slightly, but he appeared unwell. As four of the boys performed their dances, Kenichi flawlessly executed every move with the BTS songs. Jhope was highly impressed and applauded. Jungkook sat there with a wide bunny-like smile.

After six boys finished their dances, Jhope whispered something to a smiling Jungkook. You could see the worry on Jungkook's face as Jhope quickly bowed to the blond man beside him and abruptly left the studio...

Your heartbeat started to race erratically. You couldn't understand why you were so concerned. Maria and her friend were dancing with excitement to the BTS songs. Her friend's soulmate was auditioning.

Dove and Sol left to stand by the door with their clipboards, attending to their intern duties. She glared at Maria, but you couldn't help but snicker because when Dove turned away, Maria pulled a face and gestured rudely, giving her the middle finger.

Your eyes widened. These girls were fearless. ARMYs were fearless.

The dance studio buzzed with energy. You felt the sudden urge to use the loo.

You smiled at your brother. "Keitaro, I'm quickly heading to the restroom... I'm about to burst."

He snorted, "Hurry. The group is about to perform another complex dance move. This one is the decider... so be quick..."

You got up and made your way to the studio exit door, asking Sol where the restrooms were.

Dove and Sol. I look at you, shocked. They didn't expect you to be British. You have the most charming accent." oh gosh...You look Asian, but you're foreign."Sol. I gushed in English.

Dove look at you with a calculated look," Are you a Korean- Brit or British Korean?" She looks at you up and down. You frown at this girls' blatant disrespect.

You smiled and, in a refined British accent, remarked, "Oh, goodness no, I am of Japanese heritage residing in Kensington, London. I am Akira Sagami."

Sol. I, with excitement," Japanese girls are so beautiful. I love your accent," she spoke in Japanese.

"Thank you," you answer her back in Japanese." Please guide me to the restroom."

Dove suddenly smiles and puts her arms around your shoulders, and you looked surprised at the sudden friendliness. She is few centimeters taller than you and waves at Sol. I and lead you to the hallway around the corner and say in Japanese,

"This 3rd floors ladies restroom is under construction, the only restroom for the public is on the ground floor, but I'll let you go upstairs to the 4th floors restroom. Be quick. It is only for staff members".

You look unsure at her," Wouldn't I get into trouble if I use it?" There were notices that particular floors were out of bounds. Dove shook her head.

Dove smile brightly, " no, it's after 5 pm now, most of the staff is gone. Just don't tell them I send you, please. I can lose my job."She rashly said.

"But...but!" You don't want trouble.

"Go..go..before you burst", she giggles.

You laugh, thank her, and quickly use the stairs to the fourth floor.

Dove turned, and the cute smile fell into a grimace as she walks back to Sol. I looked at her with raised eyebrows. Is Dove crazy?...it is not allowed.

Unbeknownst to Dove, she led you right into your destiny...
