Practicing for Perfection

Jimin is in the dance studio late at night. He made a mistake in earlier practice, and he can't have that.

He has to do better than that for ARMY and you. He skipped dinner and has been in the studio most of the day.

Several times, his phone has gone off. He knows it's you, and you are safe at home. Thinking you are just checking up on him he plans to call you back after one more practice round.

His phone went off several more times, but he didn't hear it due to the music. Later, he stopped and grabbed a water bottle, thinking that since you have taken his last name, he is a blessed man, and doing his best for you is all-consuming.

 He is doing this for you and the baby on the way. He is so excited to be a daddy. He tossed the towel to the side and started the music again, determined to get the moves right. It had to be perfect. 

He goes back to dancing, recording himself and watching his moves in the mirror. 'I will call her back as soon as I've done this dance. 

Later, he stops to catch his breath, sits on the floor, and takes a couple of long swallows of water. He sees he has missed several calls again.

He takes his phone and looks as he walks to restart the music. He is unaware he missed calls from Min as they were mixed in with yours. He plans to call after one more dance-through.

Jimin's personal bodyguard agreed to stay with you while Jimin is out in the evenings. Instead, Jimin has a member of the security staff remain with him.

You had become concerned and afraid to be alone when it gets dark. You had complained to Jimin that you thought someone had been in the backyard creeping around and thumps and knocks on the side of the house when home alone at night.

 Thinking it was just hormones keeping you in a state of anxiety concerning the baby, Jimin thought to ease your mind by having someone stay with you when he wasn't home.

You begged Jimin to keep it a secret that someone was staying with you. Telling Jimin that it was embarrassing feeling like you're being watched when you were sure it's just hormones making you overly sensitive. It was bad enough that you kept losing things and couldn't find them. You stopped telling him and the others when more things came up missing. Surely you just misplaced them.

Jimin knew how stressed you were over the pregnancy, and he was, too. The doctors said the chances of becoming pregnant were very slim, so when you found out, you both were overjoyed but also afraid. You knew being pregnant had its risks. You both wanted a baby so badly that you were willing to take the chance for him.

Jungkook entered the studio and asked, "You still here, Jimin?" 

As he pushes his hair back from his face, Jimin says, "As you can see."

Jungkook, happy he found Jimin, says, "That's Good. I hoped to run through the new choreography with you, and then I'm heading to the gym." 

Jimin says, "I was about to head home. I know she must be upset with me by now. I'm probably going to be sleeping on the couch tonight." he laughs along with Jungkook.

Jungkook notices Jimin's watch and asks, "Hey, you found your watch. Where was it?"

Jimin answers as he texts, "We never could find it. I just bought another one." He holds it up for Jungkook to look at before he puts his phone away.

He had sent a couple of texts but received no response. "Yeah, it's the couch tonight." 

So he starts the music, and Jungkook says, "Oh, she texted me earlier, said you weren't answering your phone and wanted to know if you had left or were still here. She said it sounded like someone's in the backyard again."

Jimin wipes sweat from his face with his towel, then pushes his hair back off his forehead. "Yeah, I meant to call but lost track of time. Min is there with her, and he'll check it out." Feeling secure in your safety, he starts the music.

They start dancing, and Jimin adds some extra moves to the choreography. Jungkook says, "Hey, that looks cool." 

Jimin says, "I came up with it earlier. I think J Hope will like it too. I plan on showing it to him and the others tomorrow."

 Jimin teaches Jungkook the more complicated dance moves during the song's chorus. Once Jungkook got it down, they started the song again. Time flew by, and Jimin's phone did not go off again that night.

 It was very late when they finished, and Jimin was hoping you were getting some good sleep, even if you were mad at him. He didn't call, afraid he would wake you.

Jungkook said, "Well, I think I'll head home." 

Jimin looks at him, surprised, "What, no workout?" 

Jungkook laughs. "That was one hell of a workout as it was." They laugh as they gather their things to go.

"Hey, how are you getting home, Jimin? I didn't see your car?" 

Jimin grimaces. "Shit, I was supposed to call Jin. He said he would give me a ride home if I needed it." he looks at his watch. "It's too late now. No way I'll wake him just because I forgot."

 Jungkook says, "No worries, I'll drop you off." 

Jimin smiles. "Thanks, Kooki."
