"Can you start with your name, age, where you're from, and what you do?"

"My name is Kristina Cillian, but I go by Kris. I'm from New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, I'm 26, and I'm a high school dance teacher."

"Do you have a soulmate marking?"

"Yeah. I have South Korea on my wrist, and another that appeared when I met my other soulmate."

"What's your other marking?"

"Ummm...." she shifted uncomfortably in her chair. "It's not really visible. But I got it after spending some time with my soulmate, so I know it was a soulmate mark. Plus, it was really painful."

"But you won't tell us what it is? How do you know that it's for this person?"

"It includes his phone number and his initials, so yeah, I know it's for him."

"Does he have a mark for you? Do they both?"

"He does have a mark for me. He got it when he turned 24, but it's not my phone number, so it's confusing. And the other one got my number, but it was so light he couldn't see it. It burned in completely the first time that we touched."

"What is his mark that's so confusing?"

"It's the name of the ship that I teach on."

"Can you tell us who your soulmates are?"

"My soulmates are Kim Seokjin and Kim Namjoon."

"Your soulmates are RM and Jin of BTS?"

"Yeah...they are."

"Lucky girl."

"Yeah. I am. Thank you."

"We heard that there is some....tension, in your soulmate bond."

"There has definitely been some tension, but I think that it's all been figured out. At least, I hope so. It's been really emotionally exhausting for me, and I'm sure that the same can be said for both of my soulmates, as well."

"Can you tell us what happened?"

"This would only be from my perspective so please don't portray any one negatively. I think when you are growing up you assume you will meet your soulmate and live happily ever after. You don't think you'll have more than one. When we saw mymy and her soulmates it was very shocking but we were happy for her. It seemed like something that was so out of the realm of possibility that even knowing her we never assumed it would happen to us. I only initially had one soulmate mark that I didn't plan to pursue. So when I found my soulmate and right as we met, I also found out he had a soulmate as well. It was a lot to take in. It definitely wasn't the first meeting I had hoped to have. We were all meeting under very stressful circumstances then to add that we discovered that we were soulmates it was very overwhelming."

"Why didn't you plan to pursue your soulmate mark?"

"It was in South Korea and while I was a fan of several groups I never thought I'd find myself traveling to SK. So teaching became important as I wasn't going to find my soulmate."

"Do you regret finding your soulmates at all?"

"Ummm...I'm not normally one for big gestures or romantic stuff. I don't like causing drama and I feel like my presence has been more drama for my soulmates. If I regret anything it would be coming between two people."

"Do you think that they regret finding you?"

"Hmmm... I think they have at some points which I understand. I think sometimes they still do regret it. Their whole career is about the appearance of availability and add onto that they are sharing a soulmate which is a lot to take in. But then it's all happening in the public eye and rejecting soulmates is obviously detrimental to their health. I think anyone would be insecure dating an idol and if I didn't love my friends so much I probably would have hired a body double to appear for me."

"Their career is about the appearance of availability, but isn't the whole point of this show to let people know that they are real people, with real soulmates, so that it will be easier for the public to accept?"

"I'm afraid no amount of showing our true selves will make everyone happy but I'm here to hopefully make my friends' lives easier and the lives of my soulmates and their bandmates."

"The way you word all of this is interesting, because we've already talked to both of your soulmates, and neither of them seem to regret finding you. Jin was like a lovesick teenager and I'm pretty sure that he would throw himself into the Han River for you. And Joon...he mentioned that he had made some major mistakes where his soulmates were concerned, but all he wants to do is fix it and be with you. But you seem...apprehensive. Almost like you don't want this to work out."

"I'm still processing everything. One of my closest friends got sick and we were so worried for her, and getting her well was our only concern. It was during all this that I discovered that I had a soul mate who also had a soulmate. Jin wasn't exactly thrilled about me and then Joon shared that sentiment. I've tried not to feel as though I'm coming between them but it will take time. They definitely smiled more before meeting me, so I think it will take some time to figure everything out. I'm the common thread of unhappiness in all this lol. I hope they are happy as that's really the only thing I could want for them."

"They don't share your sentiment. Neither of them seem to think that any of this was your fault. In fact, during his interview, Joon seemed like he thought he was the one to blame for every bit of stress in your bond. And Jin...he thinks that it's all his fault, because he fully-bonded with you without the two of you, or Joon even knowing that that's what was happening. He thinks it's all his fault, because he couldn't keep his hands off of you. It seems like the three of you have some stuff to work out. But...do you even want to work things out with both of your soulmates? "

"Saying that we have a lot of things to work out is an understatement. I think to people seeing this, we will look ridiculous. and people will question why we can't just be together. It would be great if that's how it works out, but it's easier to view it from the outside and make assumptions. I just want them to be happy. Of course, I would love to have both my soulmates with me, but I also respect that that may not be something they want. It hurts and it will hurt for a long time, if things don't work out, but seeing them happy, whomever that's with, will be worth it in the end. Although what you're telling me sounds different from what I know, so I think communication is our issue. I'm wary of everyone's feelings, especially since Namjoon's feelings are very much very different from the last time we were all together."

"You're giving us some very...politically correct answers. And while it seems like you would make an excellent politician, we want to know how you really feel."

Kris couldn't help but laugh at that. "Maybe I'm just nice?"

"If you could have a bond with just one person, instead of the two soulmates that you were given, would you?"

"I've never had an issue with having more than a two-person bond. I like it. It's been my soulmates that have had the issue."

"One final question...Were you ARMY before meeting your soulmates?"

Kris laughed again. "The one question I was hoping wouldn't be asked. Out of all the questions that could be asked, this is the one I didn't want asked. But, no. I was not ARMY. Please don't be mad ARMY."

Once she was told that she was done, Kris left the small room and walked out to the hallway to find her soulmate waiting for her.

"Hey," Jin said, pushing himself off of the walk and smiling at her. "How'd it go?"

"It went...okay, I guess," Kris said, looking down at her feet.

"What's wrong, angel?" Jin asked her. "What happened?"

"I just...they asked some questions that I wasn't prepared for."

"Like what?"Jin asked, reaching for her hand.

Kris pulled it back before he could grab it. "Maybe it wasn't the questions, but how I answered them. I...you're going to hate me once you see my interview."

"I could never hate you, Kris," Jin told her. "No matter what you said."

"Even if I...pretty much said that I thought you and Joon would both be better off without me?" she asked, looking up at him. "That way the two of you could be happy together?"

Jin laughed softly. "It's not as if you've never said that exact same thing to me before."

Kris sighed. "I guess so. She told me that I was giving 'politically correct' answers, and that I should be a politician."

"What the hell does that mean?" Jin asked her with a frown.

Kris shrugged at him. "I don't know. I guess that she didn't think that I was being genuine."

"Were you?"

She shrugged again. "I was. But you know how my brain works by now, Jin. I feel like I'm the reason that you and Joon can't be happy together. It's all my fault."

Jin reached for her again, this time succeeding and pulling her into his arms, hugging her close as he rested his chin on top of her head. "It's not your fault, angel. We've all made mistakes. If I had just accepted all of this from the start, we would be fine by now. If Joon had accepted it when he found out that you and I were also soulmates, then we would be fine by now. If you hadn't run off after our first meeting, we would probably be fine by now." He pulled back to look down at her. "Do you get what I'm saying? We've all made mistakes. It's all of our faults. All we can do now is try to repair the damage."

Kris nodded her head and wrapped her arms around his back, hugging him tight. "Thank you, Jinnie."

"I just want you to be happy, my angel."

A/N: I don't know about the rest of ya'll, but I thought that maybe we could all use another update after today. On a side note: I think I've said before that Mandy and Kris are based on my real-life best friends/soulmates. When I went to write their interviews, I thought that it would be fun to interview the actual people, as their characters. And I was right, we had fun with it. I hope you all enjoy it as much as we did. -------Kat
