Work out on my desire

 without a formula, errday

Akira pov

"Jhope!!!"...you breathe, shocked.

........

You sat up, bewildered, and gazed at your soulmate with open jaws. He...he came after you. You can't wrap your head around the fact that he's here with you. Are you dreaming? You blink multiple times to ensure that it isn't a  figment of your overactive imagination.

Jhope tenderly smiles at your puzzled expression as he places the bouquet on the bed. He took a deep breath and is still kneeling in front of you, grasping your hands in his. His eyes were filled with an undefined emotion that confused you.

"I...I couldn't let you leave me like that, Akira...you promised not to give up on me.. remember but you left me." He looks to be troubled.

You glance down at him, your eyes welling up, and you softly explain, as you bite your lips not to ball your eyes out, "I didn't want to leave you, Jhope...but I knew you needed some space. It...it just pained me so much when you...you didn't want me to talk to you or come near you, and even...my friend Hanbin didn't want to associate with me anymore... I was hurt. It became increasingly tough to stay and appreciate Tokyo at its best."

One treacherous tear falls down your cheek. You hastily wiped it away as you gazed regretfully into your soulmate's eyes.

"Sweetheart—" Your heart raced as he caressed your hands, and your breath caught in your throat at the sudden term of endearment."I'm so...so sorry for continuously hurting you. I apologize for causing you so much sorrow and pain. I know I wasn't a good soulmate..., but I'm trying so hard to change...just for you. I admit I'm terrified...but—- "He took a long breath in. He gently cupped the side of your face with one of his hands, lovingly stroking your damp cheek. You could look into his lovely eyes, which are glued into yours.

"—-you're not ready to complete the bond." You, sadly, interrupt. He shook his head and looked at you intently.

"It's not that...but it's something I couldn't control for years. Namjoon clarified my reluctance to fall in love again... For a long time, I was very hurt and devastated Akira. After my failed relationship and the frequent cheating rumours, I didn't believe I deserved to be loved. I cut myself off from any romantic interactions, Akira. For years, I swore off love or being loved by a woman. I really couldn't or wouldn't want to accept a soulmate in my messed-up life... I fought so hard not to love you...but I failed. "As anxiety attempted to engulf him, he wiped his face. 

 Your eyes are wide open in surprise. Does he...? Did your ears pick up on it correctly...can you hope?

You remained silent to let him talk it out.

"Sweetie...please give me another chance. I know you gave me countless chances. I even ruined your opportunity of loving someone else, but I...I don't want to lose you because of my fear of bonding. I'm even gone to therapy this week to deal with bonding, so I can have the guts to complete the bond...with you, "he admitted, taking a big breath.

You were stunned by the revelation and gasped.

"You...you went to therapy. To...come terms with the bonding process?" You looked into his eyes with wide eyes, and the intensity of his gaze made you feel suffocated.

He nods quickly pulls you up against  him, wrapping you in his muscular arms. You could feel his erratic heartbeat in his firm chest matching with yours. You close your eyes, savouring the fantastic feeling of being in his arms once again. You softly snake your arms around his waist and hold him firmly against you now that he's here with you. Just at your touch, you could hear the faint hitching of his uneven breath.

He slowly raises his head and looks down at you." Kira...I've hurt you so badly that I can't ask for anything in return. I'm not expecting you to declare your feelings for me...but.But, as I said before, I'd like to have a chance to show you how much I care about you. Suppose we're yellow-stringed, which is unlikely. If we are blue stringed, I pledge to protect you...love you the way you should be loved...and if you will have me. I'll promise to be there for you...and if we're red gold, I'll shower you with all of my love. You'll be my only queen in my heart, my wife, our babies' mommy, and my companion...I'll be the man you want me to be... I might be still a "prat," But I want you to be there to be my anchor—-" he said, his voice strangled. The most challenging speech he'd ever given to a girl...his soulmate.

"Oh, Jhope..." your eyes glistened when you smiled up at him."I've always wanted you in my life. Except for you, I don't want anyone else. I was ready to let you go...to enjoy your life. Even if it meant my death, that's how much I care about your happiness. I'm not going to pressure you to complete the bond; I want you to be ready and comfortable doing it at your own pace—"

He hugged you against his chest once again, his breath fanning in the folds of your neck. You're elated just because he's here with you.

"Thank you so much, sweetheart...but this time. I'll gather the courage to give it a try. No fear will keep me from making you happy. I'll make up for every tear you shed for my idiot self. I realized how lonely I felt without you after you departed. Every day was a beautiful day with you "he smiled into your eyes. You understand how difficult it must be for your soulmate to admit how much he misses your presence.

"Is it okay if we cuddle for a little, I just want you to lie in my arms a little," he pleaded? You give the nod.

When both of you were at ease on the bed, you put your head on his chest, and you smiled contentedly as his arms tightened around your waist. You're still reeling from the fact that your soulmate is here with you. Although Jhope's eyes were shut, his fingers stroked your dark mahogany hair.

After that, you heard an announcement from the captain. Jhope's eyes widened as he smiled at you. The captain informed you that you would be on your way shortly and that you should enjoy your 16-hour flight, as supper would be served in the lounge in an hour. You furrow your brow, baffled; your flight to South Korea is only supposed to last three hours, not sixteen. Jhope smiled quietly as he looked down at your frown, but he kept his lips sealed.

You look at your soulmate and ask, "Jhope we're on the right flight?"

Jhope smiled slyly, "Don't worry about it. Let's get dressed up for tonight's dinner. The chef is incredible. The beauty therapist has already left. So, I hope you enjoyed your pampering?"

"Oh, J hope it was so energizing. My entire body is relaxed.  Thank you." You graciously voiced your appreciation to him.

"It is all for you. Operation pampering has begun. Please put on that gorgeous black number and heels. I want to enjoy the view by myself." He waggles his brows. You bit your lower lip, hoping not to smirk, but you failed miserably. You recall his surprise when you put on that tight-fitting dress, and he was furious when you told him that you were giving him up in favour of a sexy Jimin. You didn't even get to try out your new outfit.

"Okay, I'll dress here because I'm a girl and require more time—-" you say with a small smile.

He rose from the bed and smiled at you, "Kira...thank you for letting me be here with you."

"I missed you too much...so don't blow it," you giggle. You point your finger at a laughing Jhope. He has gone out to get your bags so that you can set your clothing. He'll get dressed in the charter's lounge. Fortunately, it has doors. You both dressed well and made an effort to look good for each other.

Jhope wore all black and a sequenced jacket. He was gorgeous.

Jhope's eyes almost popped out when he saw you in your black dress with the bit of slit and black Jimmy Choo stiletto heels, with your hair naturally falling around your face. The tight dress accentuated every curve on your body as you stood nervously in front of a speechless Jhope. You have had to wonder if he broke because he was stuck in one place. Your eyelids were accented with a smokey effect, and You did your lips with a beautiful nude lipgloss. You give a nervous smile.

Jhope shook his head, murmuring, "Wow...you look stunning, sweetie." He extended his hands for you to take. You thank him with a smile and nod as he leads you to the middle section of the table.

The crew decked the table between your seats with a bottle of expensive champagne and an entree of shrimp and prawns. Yoongi told him you loved seafood, so he ensured the servers had a great selection of sushi platters, fish dishes, and fresh salads. Your eyes widen as you see the choices. At the beautiful dining table, you have a big smile on your face.

Jhope was a charming soulmate who attended to your every desire. The mood is so calm and charged with excitement that you get nervous butterflies in your stomach as you realize this is your and Jhope's first dinner date alone. You're even too flushed to look at him for too long for worry he'll see the love in your eyes. Jhope smiles contentedly, pleased that his soulmate is with him.

He told you that he will work hard to be the man you want him to be, that he will begin proving his feelings to you today, and that you are not compelled to confess your feelings for him. He must prove that he needs your presence in his life. You know he is not immune to you, and you are grateful to FATE for providing you with the opportunity to reunite with your soulmate. You were petrified that he'd return to that conniving trickster, Dove.

His Bangtan-brothers, as well as the rest of the Bells and Staff, do not know that he's been chasing his soulmate. Namjoon would inform them that he has decided to return home to spend time with his family and recover from the soulmate ordeals. Everyone knows you're already in Seoul with your family.

Kenichi was unconcerned since you told him he should enjoy Portugal because you would be home with your parents.

 Yoongi was saddened because Jhope had left without even saying goodbye. Jimin felt worse because he knew Jhope needed a time out from the band and was full of stress after the fight.

Only Namjoon, Sejin, Ms Cheng, and Sade know what was planned for him to be allowed to be with his soulmate without interference. He wants to court his soulmate in his unique way.

Your and Jhope's emotions were in overdrive. Your joy and excitement were energizing. For the first time, you saw the sunny and joyful Jhope that everyone grows to love. His sparkling eyes and wide smile moved you to a whole new level. Every moment you spend with him, your feelings for him become stronger. You talked about your families, but you just told him about your adoptive parents and twins, while he told you about his only sister, who is planning to marry.

You enjoy your food and the relaxing ambience of the cabin. They brought dessert to you. Your eyes widen a the delicious dessert.

"Oh wow..." you exclaim to Jhope as attended places a lovely cheesecake within a dark chocolate cup coated in vanilla, better creme, and fudge. Jhope smiled amusedly as you clapped your hands in delight. You're a sucker for chocolate and cheesecake. Two of your favourite desserts combined into one. Jhope smiled as he secretly asked Yoongi about his soulmate's favourite desserts before leaving for Japan. It was the day he tried to be friendlier to her by buying her sprite and adorable treats.

"This is for you, sweetheart." He smiles as he delicately dips his spoon into the silky sweetness.

You smiled as you bit into the cheesecake. Jhope froze and was transfixed by the open and oblivious sensuality you radiated by eating an ordinary dessert as you closed your eyes to appreciate the tantalising taste of the cheesecake. He took a deep breath not to jump up and kiss you on the mouth. You have no idea how much you turned him on just by licking the chocolate off your lips.

Jhope knows you're going to be his death. But, because of the mixed feelings he gave you, you begged him not to kiss you again. He looked regretfully because he genuinely wanted to kiss you again, but he'd only kiss you if you let him. Over the last few days, his dreams have been filled with images of him loving you, and he hopes that this time he will do everything correctly.

You both had a great time enjoying your dessert. Jhope got the remote and switched on a beautiful romantic song by one of his favourite artists, a fellow label mate of Bighit Lee Hyun. "Because it's you" It spoke so well in his situation.

Your cabin was illuminated in a soft blue hue. It was already 9:00 p.m. You smiled as soft music played, and Jhope stood up and extended his hands to you for a dance. You get up, your eyes widen, and you look into his smirking face. You slipped into his arms as he embraced you, putting you in the mood for a slow dance. You got a hot red blush when dancing with the BTS dance machine. Jhope is overjoyed to have you back in his arms. Your head is nestled on his chest, and his face is buried on your head.

Jhope raises his head, and you glance up into his eyes as he nervously looks down on you. The intensity of his eyes made your heartbeat race.

"Sweetheart," he says, almost pleadingly. "I..er want to kiss you so bad right now...and I know you said you don't want me to kiss you...but your lips look so desirable right now...can I kiss you just once... I missed you."

You smirk and teasingly bite your lip at him. Your heart is beating in sync with his. He asked that you take your time letting him in. You glance at him with uncertain eyes, "OK...but here's the rule...you're not going to make -out with me.  Jhope, it will be a simple, normal kiss with no tongue action.  Jhope you don't have any other creative options, so- make the most of it."

 Jhope looks amused into your eyes.  You put on such a cute act trying to be tough and enforcing rules like a pro. You smugly smirked as you tapped his pointed nose with the tip of your forefinger.

Jhope's hands were firmly around your waist as he pulled you close to him. As your eyes widen, your breath hitches in your throat. He tilts his head sideways, appearing just as smug," Ok...so the rule is; no tongue action, but it must be a basic kiss, but it must be creative...let me get this straight..." no tongue...simple kisses...no time limit," you gaze at him as he smirks down in your face. You have a confused expression on your face.

"Jhope I'm not going to stand in these stiletto you made me wear for more than a minute," you warned him back.

He grins mischievously, waggles his brows, and in an instant, he grips you under your thighs and lifts you, positioning your legs around his waist. When Jhope saw your shocked expression, he burst out laughing. Your eyes widen as you realize you're in an intimate situation.

"Oh blimey, Jhope!!!" You shrieked, clutching his neck tighter to keep your balance. You could hear his chest vibrate, and a breathy chuckle escaped his mouth. When Jhope rushes into the bedroom, your face is crimson red and places you carefully on the dresser close to the window. You exhale as you gaze out at the black heavens thousands of feet above the earth.

"Jhope I said y—- "You have a suspicious expression on your face.

Jhope pressed your body closer to his as he stood between your legs, grinning at your wide eye,"—-Oh sweetheart... I know...but the one mistake that you made...you didn't specify," as he runs his hands through your lustrous hair.   You inhaled deeply, frozen as his hands traced your ears gently from your neck to the back of your head.

"Jhope," you mutter so softly. Shivers ran down your spine as a result of his gentle touch. Jhope made sure you were securely against him as his lips slowly found their way to the softness of your neck, kissing it softly, biting and sucking it delicately so as not to leave any imprints on your creamy skin. You couldn't exhale since your attention was drawn to the sensuality of the scene. Oh my goodness, you felt like a jello girl in the hands of your soulmate. 

Jhope smirks as his feelings become entangled with yours. You want him as much as he want you. He could feel tremors and goosebumps on your arms as he moved his kisses to your neck beneath your chin, pressing gentle kisses around your neck. You were out of breath as you tightened your firm hold on his waist.

Jhope understands how to get the most passionate wet kisses from his soulmate without even using his tongue. You enjoy your soulmate's subtle touches, and you love every minute of his creativity. You felt his soft lips move to your earlobes as he softly breathes your name in, tasting it with the tip of his tongue.

You exclaimed aloud, "Oh blimey—-" you could feel the passion in every touch.

He cradled your face with both hands and began slowly kissing your eyes, pausing slightly before moving to the other eye, down to your nose, until he finally captured your lips, tenderly pulling your bottom lip with his teeth and slowly sucking onto it until you couldn't take it any more.

As he locked eyes with you, Jhope's eyes were full of devotion and love.

Jhope smirks against your mouth, placing a few delicate pecks on your lips, and finally murmurs, with his eyes focused attentively into your soft ones.

"Sweetheart... let us complete our bond..."
