Book Exchange Romance | A Kim Namjoon FanFic

Chapter 8 - Jimin

Jimin woke up that day extra early and decided to head over to the dance studio to practice by himself. He did that whenever he felt stressed or nervous. With a fansigning and concert on their agenda that day, although he felt confident, he didn't want to mess up and let his fans down. He left the dorm and went into the dance studio. He put his bag down and connected his phone to the Bluetooth speaker. He put some music on and started to stretch. Once he stretched, he played the Black Swan Orchestra Version of the song and he let the music carry him away. He got so involved, he lost track of time.

"If you keep practicing like that, you will exhaust yourself." He heard someone say. He turned around and saw Hobi standing there.

"I want it to be perfect." Jimin said.

"Nothing is ever going to be perfect." Hobi said.

"Not if I try hard enough. I know I can do it." Jimin said, walking to his bag and getting his water bottle.

"Jimin, you need to stop pushing yourself to the limit." Hobi said, stretching. "You will end up injured, or worse. If you don't do it for yourself, do it for army." Hobi said.

"I could say the same to you." Jimin said, walking to the mirror wall and sitting in front of it. Jimin watched how his hyung danced to Mic Drop and Idol. Hobi looked at his watch.

"We should get back to the dorm." Hobi said. "We leave for the fansigning soon." He said. Jimin nodded. He stood up and grabbed his bag. They walked to the dorm together. When they got there, everyone was gathered in the living room.

"Oh great, you guys are here." Namjoon said, turning to them. "We are getting ready to leave. Are you guys going to shower here or in the venue?" Namjoon asked them.

"I'm going to shower here." Jimin said. They nodded.

"Yeah, me too." Hobi said. They both walked to their room. Jimin showered quickly and got dressed.

"Okay, so we'll do the fansigning, go to soundcheck and then we'll get ready for the concert." Namjoon said to all of them. Hobi was already there when Jimin exited his room. "Jimin you are here great. We can leave." Namjoon said. They made their way to the cars. Jimin rode with Taehyung, Jungkook and Yoongi. Jimin and Yoongi sat in the front row, while Taehyung and Jungkook sat in the back. As they made their way to the venue where the fansigning was going to be held, Jimin couldn't help to feel nervous about the show. He felt like something was going to go wrong.

"What's wrong?" Yoongi asked Jimin. Yoongi knew when he was nervous or anxious. Yoongi put a hand on Jimin's thigh. "You're anxious. I know." He said. Jimin shrugged. "Is it the fansigning? Or the show?" Yoongi asked him.

"The show." Jimin said. "I feel like something is going to go wrong." He said, sighing.

"Like what?" Yoongi asked.

"I don't know." Jimin said. "And that is what has me on edge." He said.

"This is your perfectionism talking. Nothing will go wrong." Taehyung said. "This always happens before a big show. You get anxious, you freak out, and then in the end, everything turns out okay." He said. Taehyung put a hand on Jimin's shoulder. Jimin nodded.

"Taehyung is right. You always freak yourself out over nothing." Yoongi said. "You are too much of a perfectionist. But I am telling you. Nothing will happen." Yoongi said. Jimin nodded. Jimin looked out the window and saw the line at the main entrance of the venue. He spotted a peculiar shape. A mop of curly light brown hair. It was a girl. She was in line, which meant he will see her inside. She was smiling down at the petite girl beside her who had straight long dark brown hair. Her curls framed her face perfectly. He smiled to himself. The cars parked in the back and they all got inside. Namjoon disappeared to one of the dressing rooms, waiting for the hair and make-up artists to come to help get them ready. When they arrived Jimin went to let Namjoon know. He knocked on his door.
