You all must've been caught like fish
In a net called 'desire' with thirst in life

Akira  pov

The Wilson Family is on their way to Busan early on Saturday morning. This is only a two-hour drive for your father in the rental car. It fills your heart with excitement, and the anticipation for your new home is overwhelming. 

Kenichi is also in the car, and Keitaro came with an Uber last night to see their new home in Busan. You and your family enjoy the ride and have a fantastic road trip. You still hadn't eaten breakfast yet.

Kenichi, who was with you, could read and explain every road sign and made your dad feel more comfortable driving in busy city streets. It's impossible to put into words how proud Keitaro was of him and how he gave him a head rub (noogie).

 You drove along empty roads as well as busy streets. Keitaro recommended that you go first to Gwangbok-dong, the trendy shopping and dining district.

As you drove through the streets, you all looked in awe.

Your mom commented, "It looks so clean." The road was decorated with flowers in big concrete pots. Beautiful!

Your dad chuckles, "This is where Akira wants to live, she can go shopping here, and she can walk to the beach. She has to get a car for transportation to fetch the boys and to go to work."

Suddenly, you smile. "Ooh, blimey!. I already like it here in Busan. When I come from Tokyo, I want to settle in well. I hope mom and dad will find time for themselves near the beach."

As your parents nod, your mom looks at the stores with interest, already planning to go shopping.

Keitaro squealed with joy, "I can't wait to go surfing. The weather's not too bad. Aside from surfing, I came here to shop with Maria and Luciana. The fashion stores were amazing!". The ocean and surfing are his passions. You're scared of swimming in the sea.

Kenichi grins while pushing your shoulder. You are seated between the twins, and you can never sit by the window with them.

"Do you know who lives here?" he asked

In an attempt to think, you furrow your brows.

He proclaims triumphantly, "Jimin and Jungkook of BTS!". There is a wide smile on your face.

"Wow. Oh, blimey!" You smile, thinking about the cute maknae-line and Jimin, who is always flirting with you on the studio floors.

I think that's awesome. Is that the Super Star Boys, the group for which you work?" Your father asked as he manoeuvred the car through traffic.

Kenichi looks a little worried when he says, "Yeah, they are so awesome. I'm a little nervous to debut on Japan's National television, and I don't want t mess up. Sungdeuk is counting on us." 

"Don't be." You and Keitaro both encouraged him and patted his shoulder. He has made it thus far, and things will turn out well for him.

Your mom replied, "You'll be fine, my boy, just enjoy the trip and bring us souvenirs.".

"Baby, you and Kenichi arrived so late last night. How was your evening?" Your dad asked. Kenichi told your parents about the food and Jhopes mixtape success while you groan inwardly. The charts predict him to debut on the Billboard 200 within a week. The mixtape has been a huge success.

 Nodding in agreement, you're still reeling at the most embarrassing incident where your Soulmate saw you half-naked. You began to blush when you thought about his eyes on your boobies (bubbies).

As you thought about his firm stance and his jaws that almost fell to the ground, you tried not to burst into laughter. He was mesmerized, and you smiled about his most awkward rumblings. He could be such a cutie if he weren't such a world-class prat.

"It was fun, dad. I met a pretty and fun nurse on the medic team, and I think she'll be a great girlfriend. And I met the tour group. They're friendly with the boys and hang out with them constantly, and I like them." You told your parents with a big smile. It was so much fun until Ms Dove ruined it.

"She had the privilege to rub shoulders with the creme of the agency last night. Bang PD even waved friendly at her. They like her a lot." Kenichi scrunched up his nose a little in jealousy. You all laugh at his envious expression. Nevertheless, he is happy that the boys love his sister and let her hang out with them, which is a normal thing for her by now.

"Yoongi seems to be a very savage person. He called me his best friend. I wonder how Byron will take it." Everyone laughs at the thought of Byron's jealousy. You are his friend, after all.

Kenichi inhaled loudly, causing everyone to look at him." Mom...dad! I know where we can get a delicious breakfast. I  hope it is not too far from our new apartment... it's called the MANDATE. Jimins' dad owns a trendy restaurant here in Busan. Let's have breakfast there. Maybe his parents will be in. They open at 7 am. It's almost 7:30 by now."

In shock, your eyes widen. How could you have known that? You are not very experienced in the ARMY, and they know even the boys' blood types and shoe sizes.

"That's fine with me." Your mom grinned. "All we need is the coordinates." She said. Getting lost in a foreign city would be a waste of time and money. You already feel a little hungry.

Kenichi and Keitaro searched Naver for the information. The address was found, and your dad was able to input it into your GPS. The atmosphere was so relaxing and peaceful until the twins started bickering about gaming stuff.

The last thing you did last night was to pack your bag and put it in your car. Your parents packed all the groceries that were still left and took care of the rest. The car boot is filled with luggage and groceries, and mom said she would just add more groceries.

After driving a few more minutes, you found the restaurant. All of you are giddy to see Jimin's dad's establishment.

"Wow, we're here even if we're gonna eat breakfast so early," Keitaro murmurs as your dad parks and you all exit the car. You have been sitting in one position for hours, and your legs feel like jello. As your dad opened the door, you all stood in awe of the immaculate interior. It would be nice if Ken could take some pictures, and that's not something you like to do.

Your waitress promptly greeted you friendly and guided you to the table. The restaurant is so cute, and there was already some flirting between Kenichi and the waitress. Luckily, the menu was in English.

Your drinks and English breakfast were ordered. The waitress asked whether you knew Bts. Kenichi laughed and feigned ignorance, but she told him that this was Jimin's family cafe. He told her he was an  ARMY and was one of the backup dancers. Almost not believing him, he had to show her pictures of themselves with the band and the dancers. Photo of him with the Maknae-line and the Hyung-line. She was fascinated. 

You were just chuckling at the girls with wide eyes while your family laughed. Kenichi felt like a celebrity because of all the attention he got from the girl when she was out of sight. The food was delicious. 

A woman approached your table and asked if you were enjoying yourself. Your parents gave her many compliments. To your surprise, she was Jimin's mother. She smiled as charmingly as Jimin. You were permitted to take photos, and she said you could take pictures next to the boys' memorabilia wall. Her eyes were captivated by your beauty, and Kenichi couldn't keep from telling her you were Yoongi and Bighit's new therapist.

"Wow...Jimin told us about this British-Japanese girl that worked for their company. He said to us that you were one of the prettiest in the company.

A broad smile spread across her face. You instantly liked her. It is so surreal. She even wants a photo taken with you and your family and one with you and Kenichi. There is a wall also with lots of Photos of international customers. You bet they were all ARMY'S. Your parents were very impressed.

And a special place dedicated to their famous son. 

You spend almost an hour in her presence after you have eaten. Your parents were seated with her on the lounge chairs. It was such an honour to meet his mom. His dad was at a meeting, and a pity. His brother is at University. You quickly went to the restroom before you proceeded with your trip to your new place in Hongdae. The bathroom was wealthy and very upmarket. Marble tiles gave of the wealth of this restaurant.

Back on the road, your parents were so pleased to have met such a lovely woman. She told your parents they must come back again before they leave for the UK in a week. They have extended their stay because they want to go on a bus tour around the city in the week and visit the beaches—your apartment near Haeundae Beach. Busan is quite a dense city, but the beaches are so magnificent. You can't wait to invite your new girlfriends and Byron and Sarah to Busan.

You entered the street of your newest apartment. You and the twins feel so giddy in the knowledge that you will have your home in Busan. You are happy that you will be near the Bumin Hospital to hand in your reports. May see Sandra working her butt off in the new clinic. You came at the right moment to get the most prestigious job on earth. Working for the superstars and be mated to one of them. Your heart suddenly constricts, wondering how you will tell your parents your most fabulous secret.

"Here we are..." your mom smiles in relief. The young adults stare in awe at the high rise building. This is the Bexco Apartment building.  Upon entering the underground parking, security collected your dad's information. After getting out, you all took prints to get your new entry code. It's better to do it when you return home to don't have to call the intercom to be let into your apartment. 

You can scan your fingers to get to your apartment. The boys and your dad picked up your luggage when you were done, and you took the grocery packets with you. It was nice of the security guard to tell you that the trolleys were standing near the sidewall. It made your parents, especially the men, very happy.

With the luggage packed in the complimentary trolleys and the twins pushing them, you entered the service elevators with your handbag and box of pastries you received from Jimin's mother, so the two trolleys could fit comfortably. It was nearly 9 am.

"Mom, which story is our apartment on?" you inquired, fearing that if the elevators do not work and you have to take the stairs, it will be too exhausting for you, and you won't have the energy.

Your mom softly told you as you entered the elevator, "I know you hate endless stairs. We bought an apartment on the eighth floor facing the city and the beach. You will love it, and it is very secure and private. Many young professionals stay here, so you will have no trouble making friends."

Just shake your head. Making small talk or just randomly talking to people is not your cup of tea. That's Kenichi's job. Keitaro is a little more like you, but he is also better at making and maintaining friendships than you. You miss the three Musketeers. But you haven't texted them. You mentally remind yourself to do so. Fortunately, your parents have already purchased more furniture, and some of it should be delivered soon.

Your dad received a phone call from the furniture company informing him that his delivery van had arrived. Your dad gave him the floor and apartment number, and a security guard will accompany him. You got to your floor.

As you entered the hallway, you were awestruck. You thought it looked like a luxury hotel. Your mom entered the code and scanned her thumb, and walked in. There's a beautiful aroma in the apartment, thanks to Yankee candle scents left by your mom. You were enchanted by the berry and apple spice scents. As soon as the boys entered, they jumped up and down. The apartment is so open and spacious. It has four bedrooms and an open floor plan. Your mom informed the boys that the locked bedroom door is yours, with an ensuite bathroom.

With excitement, you squealed and hugged both your parents, thanking them for letting you stay in such a great place. The apartment was perfect for your personality. It was spacious, clean, and straightforward. Your mom only bought decor accessories. Delivery men brought the two televisions, and one for the lounge, one for your room. You also got a new refrigerator and appliances with your bedding from your mom. You have a spacious kitchen and you have plenty of cupboard space. As you opened the glossy doors, you were in awe of all the new containers and pots. You had everything you needed.

You even got a new Apple Mac desktop computer for your study room from your dad. The boys got a new PlayStation 4. Kenichi was busy installing Netflix and ShowMax for your parents to watch while you're away from home. Your mom was engaged in the kitchen placing all the groceries in the cupboards after she dusted everything out. Your fridge was filled with the remaining perishables.  

It was time to get to work for everyone. Your dad used the new computer to look for car dealers in Busan, so you could get a small economical car to get around in.

After the place had been freshly cleaned for two hours, your family watched a movie on Netflix. Kenichi and Keitaro hung up their extra clothing in the rooms they chose for themselves.

There was a soothing feeling in your bedroom, and you started to rearrange your clothes in your walk-in closet. The view is breathtaking, and the excitement of the day left you feeling exhausted. Knowing that you would be so happy in your new apartment made your heart sing with joy.

A refreshing bath sounds good to you. You requested your parents use the main bedroom when they stay. Once you return, you can use the guest room or one of the boy's rooms. In your relaxing bath, you fill it up with luxurious bath salts and soaps. You get out and dress comfortably. 

Your mother was preparing lunch while your two brothers were in a room that they picked for themselves. During Kenichi's phone call with Afonso about your new house, he mentioned that you would be planning a housewarming party after returning from Tokyo. The idea made Maria practically giddy, and they had already arranged to bring drinks and snacks.

Hanbin got a text as well as Yoongi.  You told him you had arrived in Busan safely because you promised him to tell you if it was an excellent place to live. After all, he says scams are common there. He heard about your luxurious apartment, which is just to your liking. You can assure that you will be safe and secure. 

He asked you what you did to Hobi. After all, he couldn't sleep last night because he was so flustered. He found him drinking cold water bottles after one another, and it was hilarious because the guys found out the prank that Samiya played on Hobi. He said he would call you in a minute to talk to you.

As you were in your bedroom when Yoongi called you," Oh my goodness, Samiya told him to come to his studio. That little conniving lassie!" You did not have words to say or more profanities to throw at Samiya. That's an embarrassment.

"Hobi told Jin that he would get her back and that he mustn't interfere when he kills his mate... oh snap!!!" Yoongi swears softly, and he just revealed Samiya and Jin as lovers. You laugh at his attempt at humour. For the first time, you heard Yoongi swear and knew he had a potty mouth.

You frown. What does Jin have to do with Samiya? "Er...Yoongi! Is Jin and Samiya soulmates? I wouldn't reveal the truth to anyone, and I find myself in the same dilemma with Hobi."

He laughed " Yeah, the cat's out of the bag. Those girls are our soulmates. The smallest girl is Taehyung's girl. Twinkies is my baby, who looks like Jisoo from Black Pink. They are twins. She must tell you our story...Nobody knows. Our soulmates are our staff members, and they are always with us while on tour. We can't stay away from them for too long, especially when our performance depletes our energy. And you need to be there for him too Akira?"

You asked, a little confused, "Me?".

"Oh yeah, see? BangPd got you on our charter flight. He knows Hobi would activate that freaking bond by Sunday, so he made sure you were with him. You know you're unofficially the fourth Bangtan Bell. And last night, the girls pestered Hobi about how cute you look and how you and Hanbin are such an adorable couple. Hobi doesn't know that we told the girls about the two of you." He chuckled

"The girls knew!!. Oh, Yoongi! I'll kill them for making me feel so uncomfortable around him. I can imagine how Hobi felt when you took me to the VIP lounge. Oh, Oh.Yoongi!"You whined. 

"Hobi was no longer uncomfortable, but you made him feel hot and bothered by just being around him. Last night, he was pumped up more than usual. He kept his eyes on you the whole time. Please don't worry and...I know you two hooked up in the elevator, and you were both full of hickies!" You almost choked on your own saliva. Oh my! But how?

The revelation left you in shock. You called out, "Oh no....no Yoongi. Did you tell the boys? They will tease us until they're blue in the face. I'm cancelling the trip, and I won't go. Hobi can drink energy drinks all week to keep him going." You rant incoherently.

As Yoongi listened to your rantings, he burst into laughter, finding you adorable and lo ky savage in the same breath. 'Don't worry, dear, and I didn't tell anyone. I even deleted the footage of that hot make-out session, and not even the security knows.'

As you sigh in relief, you say, "Thank God for little miracles.". But why must I travel in Hobi's space? Yoongi, let's leave him to be at least happy without my presence. "Please inform Sejin that I'm fine with the medics and Hanbin."

Yoongi sighed, "We want you to be with us. It will be fun. The maknaes are so excited to have you with us, and Namjoon wants to talk good English with you. The Hyungs like you a lot. He didn't seem annoyed when Sejin told us last night. He can deny as much as he wants, but he was particularly pleased to hear that you'll be joining us on the long flight. To bring some comfort to my stiff shoulders after hours of flying... Hanbin seemed very disappointed."

That revelation astonished you. You'll have fun with the girls, and indeed, Ms Cheong and another manager will be on your flight. As you sighed, you realized that spending almost 3 hours with him would be torture. Soul marks give you stress when they are not activated, and you and your Soulmate would not be able to mask your romantic attraction to each other anymore. The way you and he stared at each other last night was a great example. 

It will be an exciting flight. The cunning cat was the one who told Sejin and Bang to get you on that flight with Hobi. It's easy to imagine Hobi's reaction when he learns that the rest of the boys know about his Soulmate, except Jungkook. He is the resident of a blabbermouth and would have told Hyung about his knowledge. Funny enough, his secrets remain a secret.

" Oh no, Yoongi. I know you were involved in the elevator incident. You switched the notices so that they were pinned to the wrong elevator, trapping us inside. We noticed that the first elevator was already occupied, and the last one was the only one available...and you and Sejin looked like cats who had too much cream when we left BangPD's office...does Ms Cheong know about that?"You groan at the thought that management knows know. You wanted a clean break from Hobi, but now everyone knows.

As usual, Yoongi seems unconcerned, "Yeah, I'm a genius, right?. You, too, have to get over all this soulmate nonsense. It is exhausting, and the genius has run out of ideas. It can't happen on my watch. I wondered if you were thinking of dating Hanbin because I can tell you that it won't work because Hobi won't allow his Soulmate to be with another man if you are not a yellow string. Which I think you won't be?"

Your heart began to constrict. Following that hot kiss, you knew your Soulmate wanted you but was far too cowardly to finish the bond. You have no desire to be with anyone else, and your sole desire is to be with Hobi. If your string is neither blue nor red, you can never move on, and he does not return your feelings.

"Yoongi, Hanbin confessed his feelings for me. The only problem is Jhopes' reluctance to complete the bond. I won't stop him if he wants to date another person. Why does he make everything so difficult for me?" You started to cry.

Yoongi sounds sad: " he has fallen in love with You. He is mad that his heart has betrayed him, knowing he can't fight the system. Following the hot scene between you two, he knows he can never forget you and doesn't want anyone else around you. He did not fight Sejin when he heard you'd be our Thera permanently and that you would be flying with us... He did not think I'd notice the slight smile on his face when he heard you'd be there. He sounded relieved. "

"Yoongi, Hobi is so afraid to love. I want to love him passionately. My heart belongs to him only. I will never cheat on him like that witch Dove who ruined my new Versace top. My eyes are only for him. I love him so much, and I want to be with him so bad...but...but? 'Soft tears rolled down your cheeks, and you wiped your eyes frantically. You couldn't understand why your Soulmate wouldn't come to his senses. You will never be Dove. You will only ever look at him.

As Yoongi comforted you tenderly, "My dear, we'll make him understand...ok. I have a plan that won't bite us in the back, but I will need your support. No backing out." his voice was conspiratorial.

You sighed quietly, knowing that whatever Yoongi prepared wouldn't be good...for anyone involved.

A/n Another update. I hope you enjoyed Akira time with her parents. She met Jimin's mom, moved into her new living space and had a sweet talk with her new best friend " Yoongi."
