I'm the one I should love
(Even if I'm shaking and afraid, I walk on forward)

Both povs

When you were cooking up a storm, you and Jin were laughing. Jin was showing you how to make the perfect Korean BBQ meal. While your soulmate cracks all the cheesy dad jokes. You could just grin because most of it is beyond your ability to grasp. He later told you that your sense of humor was on par with Suga's. Your Korean skills are improving. Seokjin was very helpful with the phrases and pronunciation. Even if you struggle, he still corrects you on the right path.

You simply burst out laughing at his adorable pouting.

"If you don't get this one, I'm scared to death of your lack of  a sense of humor." He waves the spatula in your smirking face. You bit your lower lip to avoid distressing him with your inability to understand any of his jokes.

"Oh, common darling, your joke is too clever for me...I get lost in translation.' You gave him a cutesy back hug, your head snuggled on his back.

When you look around Jin's arm, he looks down and turns his head. Jin chuckles. He inhaled deeply at the beauty of your eyes. He just can't get over how beautiful you are.

"Give me another one. Maybe I'll get this one. "You made pleading faces and raised your brows. Seokjin chuckled at your humorous attempt.

"Baby, you're so adorable..." I'll let you off the hook...for the time being! Are you prepared for the feast?" He raises his brows.

"I can't wait to indulge in the delicious BBQ, you giggle. I'll also have to teach Alia. Thank you very much, darling. Please allow me to set the table for us."You kissed him on the cheek and dashed off to the cupboards to prepare the setting. Seokjin bought soju to enjoy the food.

Jin will show you how to properly eat the meal. Your meal was backed by laughter and amusing recollections of the band's tour.

Being with your kind soulmate made your heart soar. He was everything you wished for. Losing him will destroy you, but with the looming sword of arranged marriages, you must face the harsh reality.

"Now it's your turn, my lovely princess, to tell me more about yourself. I'd like to know everything about you, okay?" As you smiled into his bright eyes, he smirked. "

He would be pleasantly surprised if you had to reveal the secret that you are the beauty queen. You're wondering how he'll react. Your celebrity, for example.

After you drank and ate 'Italian kisses' for dessert, you and Jin cleaned the dining room and made sure the kitchen was spotless with all the crockery inside the washer.

Then you decided to unwind in the TV lounge. Jin's long legs were stretched out in front of you, and you were cuddled up next to him, your arm around his waist. It's surreal that you two are fated to be together.

"I love you so much, Kim Seokjin," you say adoringly into his eyes.

Jin replied with a wide smile into your expressive eyes, "I love you even more. Samiya Dholakia. You are my heart's queen. Always keep it in mind." He gently caressed your soft cheek. Being with you made his heart want to burst at the seams.

"And you are the king of my heart castle," you say tenderly.

Jin glanced down at you "So darling...time of reckoning. What is your family's role in the legacy club?"

"My family is involved in the export industry. My father delegated active CEO duties to my second and only brother, Sujah...We are four siblings.  My oldest sister, a businesswoman, is 32 years old and married to her Danish soulmate. They run a successful cosmetics company, and my brother is 28 years old and married to his Polish soulmate. She works as an architect. Sreemukhi is currently pregnant and has a beautiful daughter named Amira. Then I'm the third in line. Priyanka is our youngest sister. Just  Priya. She is 15 years old and a huge fan of BTS She is mad about Suga. She introduced you to me a few weeks ago. She had previously been homeschooled, but this semester we sent her to a private school in New Delhi... We are a family deep into pageantry. " you told him about your family.

Jin was very attentive. "Wait, you like ramp modeling?"

You smirk, "Ahhh! all of us. My mother was Miss India in the 1950s.

Jin's eyes widen. "Oh my gosh! My mother was once Miss South Korea. Woah. "Oh, moms had something in common!" He was astounded. It's no surprise that his soulmate is so gorgeous.

You chuckled. " So she got us into pageants. Sreemukhi won 12 beauty pageants during her career. She has been crowned both Miss Teen India and Miss Teen International. But when she met Oliver on one of her travels, she knew she was done with pageantry. But she tried out for Miss India and made it to the top three, finishing as the second runner-up. The following year, she got engaged and married. —-"

"Why wasn't her marriage arranged?" Jin pondered. "Why you?"

"My parents weren't in the billionaires' club with her and Sujah," you said sadly as you massaged his arm. "My parents were concerned that we would not have a pure Indian son-in-law.  So when Vidhan expressed interest in me when we were still kids, negotiations began, and I was already betrothed to him since I was 12 years old. We dated for a year, but he was a womanizing cheater...and my parents don't understand why I don't like him."

Jin appeared to be distressed. "Our parents make our lives difficult, but fate will help us. It has to, or we will be miserable for the rest of our lives. I'm not going to father children with someone who isn't my soulmate," he pursed his lips, determined.

You nod. "I don't even want Vidhan to touch me, Jinny. He creeps me out."

"Let's forget about them. How about you?" Jin smirked.

"We'll..." you say, trying not to laugh out loud."I, too, was engrossed in pageantry. Like Mukhi, my sister... I competed in several beauty pageants and won 21 titles.

Jins' eyes widen in surprise. "Really? Wow, Miss World Wide Beautiful. You truly are my girl. 21 titles, unbelievable—"

You sniggered "Yes when I was sixteen, I won both Miss Teen India and Miss Teen International. Then, at the age of 20, I competed for Miss India, our national title, and won—so, I'm sorry to say, the girl you saw in that music video with Druvesh Patel... was me—" You bit your lower lip as you stared in astonishment at the awe-inspiring realization that hit him square in the face. He sat up abruptly and looked at you in disbelief.

"WHAT! Dholakia, you are here. Oh, my goodness. I first saw you in that music video on an Indian channel, and I had a weird feeling about you. You were driving me insane... I couldn't take my eyes off you—I thought it was because of my soul mark...Oh My!" He looked at you again and shook his head.

You gave him a worried look. "Aren't you upset that I didn't tell you it was me, Jinny? When I first became aware of you, When Priyaa showed me an MV of Fire, I was instantly smitten...You became my bias. I like you."

"It's simply unbelievable," Jin exclaimed as he looked down at you at his side."You are the ideal woman for me. Thank you very much, Fate! No, I'm not upset. My Mia, you are my entire world. So you're a national celebrity in your country."

 He appears to be very proud of you. Who would have guessed? As a result, both have a lot to lose if their relationship is revealed. Your privacy, the rejections of your family, and your happiness

"No, not only in my country but also globally," you say. "I finished third in the Miss World competition and fifth in the Miss Universe competition. The contestant who has been the youngest" You picked up your phone from the table and showed him all of your images from pageants and the most prominent crowns you've ever won.

"So you are a high-ranking citizen? Wow!" Jin exclaimed. His gaze was drawn to the beautiful photo of your Miss India. Your glossy hair was long and blown out. But, as a full-time student, you've preferred your hair to have natural curls. Wow, his girl is gorgeous.

"Yes, even my best friend Alia is famous," you say, nodding. "She originated from a political legacy while also being engaged to someone she despises. She is a famous model who aspires to be an actress, but we both enjoy fashion. I'm a fashion graduate. Unfortunately, some of our fellow countrymen recognized us as famous girls, so we decided to come to Korea as average girls. I'm not sure how long it will take for our news agencies to discover our disappearance." Alia idolizes BTS; her favorite is Jungkook." You smirked as you told him about her crush on their younger maknae.

Jin laughed his trademark windshield laugh. "She is aware that Kookie is still a high schooler and that he is quiet and reserved around girls, but we believe he is dating secretly behind our backs."

"I heard he can be deviant, but you spoil him a lot," you snicker loudly.

"True. I adore the maknaes. They're completely chaotic." You could tell he cared about his brothers.

"So, miss, do you have any other secrets your soulmate isn't aware of?" he inquires. You simply roll your eyes amusingly.

"Well, I also studied dance.  I'll demonstrate some moves.BTS could learn a thing or two," you teased.

"OK, entertain me then." Jin smiled and nodded. "Perhaps you could work as Sungdeok's assistant instructor." He folded his arms as you sat up and looked at him with a teasing glint in your eyes.

"Will you be able to handle the seductive moves?" you asked through your long lashes.

"Well, if it becomes too hot to handle, we'll take it upstairs." He raised his brows. You instantly blush as you slap him across the chest. Jin bursts out laughing at your expression.

You took a deep breath. Is this man aware of what he is doing to you?

"All right, I'll do a demonstration..."You paused for a moment as you stood up in front of the TV. You shook your hair out of your face and slowly started to move in your dancing. Your body movements were fluid, and Jin watched you twirl, twist, and turn in awe.

"Oh, my goodness! Samiya, you genius—" His jaws were almost touching the floor.  You couldn't help but snicker at his darkened eyes. He was enthralled. You were dancing like an Indian K-pop star. You're fantastic. Your physical propositions, movements, and overall fitness

You crash down next to him, drained of energy.

"In contests, I've always used dance as my talent." You told him more about your studies at a design academy, as well as your ambitions and goals. He mentioned that he and his older brother were considering opening a restaurant. You mentioned having strict parents.

"Let's just enjoy our weekend getaway." You snuggled into his side as you gazed up at your soulmate's beaming eyes. "As long as our bond is strengthened during the two weeks you'll be gone to complete your schedule, "You inhaled deeply his scent, the subtle cedar wood, and the coconut scent that enticed your senses. Your bond was incredibly energized.

Seokjin looked down with deep affection in your wide eyes, your gaze locked on each other as he leaned down and kissed you softly on the lips. You lightly grin and move your lips over his full lips. Seokjin inhaled deeply as he abruptly turned on his side, making you gasp as he softly pulled you beneath him, his strong arms securely wrapped around your soft body. Your light,  fresh floral scent betrays his emotions. With renewed hunger, his full lips seek yours, claiming your mouth with the ferocity of a raging fire.  

As your body began to tingle with anticipation, you couldn't contain the sensuality of your soulmate's fierce kisses. Just as your hands began to grip his silky hair, pulling deeper into your embrace, your hearts began to beat in perfect harmony. His scent hypnotized your senses, and deep energy rose from your tummy to your heart's erratic beating. Seokjin's fingers caressed your skin, igniting your flushed body with deep desire as you became aware of your fingers having a mind of their own, slipping them under his shirt, and stroking his smooth skin, which was hot from your touches.

Time stood still for you at that point, and you both knew it as you felt the sparked energy charging in the air in the living room. Your frenzied kisses dominated the moment. You were both completely unaware of the silvery blue swirls that began to move deceptively around you, but it didn't matter. It was just you and your hot soulmate at the time. You both felt as if you were in another dimension, dead to your current reality.

Your lips were swollen from the glorious kisses, and your chest heaved seductively up and down as Seokjin began to kiss you in the folds of your soft neck, you moaned softly at the soft pecks he left on your neck as he softly moved his lips to your shoulder.

"Oh my gosh," you mutter as you kiss him on the soft side under his ear. You wrapped your arms around his broad shoulders. His body shivered over yours. The red-gold string was aggressive. It was desired that you mate, thereby establishing your marital bond.

"You are so lovely, darling...I want you so bad," he whispered in your ear. "Please let me love you."

"Yes, love me, please," you said timidly. 

You knew you and your soulmate had reached the pinnacle of your deepest desire for each other at that moment, with his feverish mouth finding its way back to your eager mouth, and no one could interfere with what fate had gifted you with—your undying love for each other.

A/N: There you have it, guys. The two soulmates have reached the point of no return.

😏please tell me why is so difficult to write simple kissing scenes?😒

Thank you for all your support, love, and commitment to Epiphany.
