*******Jimin's POV*******

"Can you both come in with me?" Mandy asked us as she looked at the door in front of her.

"There's no need to be nervous, Kitten," Yoongi told her, reaching out to touch her arm. "All you have to do is answer some questions."

"I get that," she told us. "But I still want you in there."

"Why?" I asked her. "We'll go in if that's what you want, but why?"

Mandy took a deep breath, then let it out on a sigh. "Do you remember when we first met, and I explained what my being demisexual means?" Yoongi and I both nodded, so she continued, not really looking at either of us. "The emotional attachment that I need...It has never really happened to me romantically. And now that I'm starting to get it for the two of you, I find that I am incredibly...well...attached to you. I uhhh...I like being around you. It brings me comfort and eases the crazy in my head."

"You're attached to us?" Yoongi asked, the surprise we were both feeling clearly evident in his tone.

Mandy hadn't really expressed her feelings for us out loud before. All I could do was stare at her, and I knew that Yoongi was doing the same.

"Duh, dude," she said, looking at him, then at me. "Do you think that I just go around kissing randos in the middle of a party full of K-Pop idols? No. Never. Do you think that I willingly share a bed with just anybody? No. I don't. And sure, that first night that we all accidentally fell asleep together while watching a movie, was an unintentional...But since then, I can't sleep without you. I sleep so much better with the two of you smothering me to death with your bodies like the world's best weighted blankets. Outside of Kris, Kit, and Mairette, I have never needed anybody. I have always taken care of everything on my own. But I need the two of you. I need my soulmates."

At the same time, Yoongi and I both stepped forward into her personal space and wrapped our arms around her and each other. I pressed my face into her soft hair and inhaled the scent of her favorite shampoo.

"You have no idea how much it means to hear you say that, sweetheart," I told her.

"Ditto," Yoongi said. "We've been waiting, but we didn't want to push you."

"And that is why you're both my soulmates," she told us, pulling back just a little to look at us. "You've let our bond progress at my pace, and haven't complained about it once. You gave me everything that I needed, without forcing it on me."

I couldn't help the huge smile that was taking up my face and making my eyes squint so much that I could barely see. "We want you with us, Mandy. We want you to want to be with us. No matter how long that takes."

She smiled back at me and leaned up to kiss me. "I'm already there, Jiminie. I want to be with you. At this point, I'm not really sure how I ever survived without you. And I know that it's the pull of the soulmate bond that is making it so easy to be around you both, but I don't care. I would choose you, even without the bond."

Yoongi pulled us both close again and kissed her cheek, then pressed his forehead to her temple as he let out a relieved sigh. "Finally."

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

"I'm Mandy Queens. I'm 27. I'm from a small town in Oklahoma, and I'm a high school drama teacher."

"Do you have a soulmate marking?"

"Yeah, I have two."

"Did you get them when you turned 24?"

"No...they're both recent additions. Actually, one of them just started this morning."

"Started?"

"Mine have been showing up in pieces. I got one last week. One of my soulmates went out of his way to find me my favorite soda, root beer. They don't make it here, and he drove over an hour to a US military base to find it for me, just because I had told them how much I wanted some. It was the sweetest thing. That one is on my right side, over my ribs. My other soulmate's mark, just started today. He made me my favorite food and ordered me my favorite shampoo, which, again, you can't find here. And then the start of his mark showed up on the back of my neck."

"And what do your marks look like?"

"We aren't really sure what they are, yet. The one on my side looks like a curved triangle. And the one on my neck looks like a jagged red line."

"So you have two soulmates? Can you tell us who they are?"

"My soulmates are Min Yoongi and Park Jimin."

"Yoongi and Jimin of BTS?"

"Yep! Ya girl bagged Yoonmin!"

I covered my face with my hand and groaned at her answer, and I could hear Yoongi next to me, making the exact same noise, but Mandy just smirked at where we were standing behind the camera.

"Do they both have a soulmate mark for you?"

"Yeah, they do. Yoongi has one of my old phone numbers and Jimin has my name."

"Do you think that you will ever get full marks for them?"

"Hmmm...I hope so. I want them. But who knows. I'm different, obviously."

"You're different? Different how?"

"I'm demisexual. And since I'm assuming your next question is going to be 'what's that?' I'll just explain. I don't really care about sex. Like...I can go my whole-ass life without getting laid, and as long as I have nugs, I'm good. But I do feel a sexual attraction to people that I have feelings for. So basically...No random hookups for me. I have to catch feelings if I want to get laid."

"Have you been 'catching feelings' for your two soulmates?"

"Well, I kissed them both, so I'd say yes. Although it took me flirting with another idol to get them to step the fuck up. But that's a whole other story."

"It sounds like they were just trying to be respectful of you. That's adorable and very sweet of them."

"It sounds like they were born in a country that is much more conservative than mine. But that's okay...we got there and all it took was me gigging a bit, a few smiles and to touch this other dude's arm...Which I really hated, by-the-way."

"Were Yoongi and Jimin up for it when you decided that you wanted that next step?"

"Up for what? You gotta be specific. Up for a hot-ass makeout session or a roll in the sheets."

Again, I groaned at her answer. She was so upfront with what she was saying. It was both embarrassing and kinda hot, if I'm being honest. I love that she knows exactly who she is and isn't afraid to just be...Mandy.

"Umm...Up for the kiss, when you decided that it was time. Wait...has the roll in the sheets happened? Are you fully-bonded now?"

Mandy gasped and it made Yoongi chuckle.

"I am a lady. How dare you." She laughed like a crazy person, then rolled her eyes a little. "Considering that they made out with me in front of literally everyone on this show, I'd say that they were more than okay with it."

"So then...can we assume that the three of you aren't fully-bonded, yet?"

"Well, you know what they say when you assume...you make an ass out of you and me."

I watched as she stared at the producer asking her questions. Mandy's face was completely devoid of any emotions, and it made me giggle a little. I really love this side of her.

"Oh come on. Everyone else has told us. And we probably won't be using this part of the interview until the end of the show."

Mandy shrugged one shoulder. "Oh well. Guess you'll have to get used to disappointment. Next question, please!"

Yoongi and I both snort-laughed at our soulmate. We, of course, weren't fully-bonded, yet. There was no need to rush it, and why is it anyone else's damn business? And I know that Yoongi was loving that she wouldn't divulge that kind of personal information, because he was the exact same way.

"Did your soulmates already know that they were soulmates before you met them?"

Mandy sighed. "They did. They've known for years. Even though Yoongi knew that he had another soulmate out there, he still got bizzzay with that hottie. I don't blame them, though. Have you seen both of my soulmates? I'm just mad that I wasn't there with popcorn to witness it."

Yoongi choked on air for a moment, and I patted his back a little. "You okay, baby?"

"Yeah," he said quietly, then cleared his throat. "Our soulmate is just insane and I don't know what to do with her sometimes."

"I know. I feel the same."

"Actually...no," he told me in a whisper. "I can think of quite a few things to get her to stop talking."

"So your soulmates have known for a while. Did that make you jealous?"

"I'm literally the least jealous person in the world. Like...I just don't have that emotion, I guess. So no, it didn't bother me, honestly."

"How did you find out that you were their soulmate?"

"Well, Yoongi has my old number on his wrist, and Jimin has my name on his ribs. I'm not the brightest crayon in the box, but I can add 2 and 2 together and get 4."

"So then they both had your mark when you met them?"

"No. Yoongi did, but Jimin...He saved me in China. A car was coming at me as I was crossing the street, and he grabbed me and pulled me out of the way. We fell over all dramatic like and then he got his mark burned into his skin, right below his Nevermind tattoo. It was overly-dramatic and Jimin acted like he was going into labor with how painful it was. Men are such babies."

"Hey!" I said, then covered my mouth when the producer turned to glare at me. "Sorry."

"Well getting a soulmate marking hurts, right?"

"It does. But I sure as hell handled it better than Park Jimin did."

I crossed my arms over my chest and pouted, but that just made Mandy smirk at me.

"You said that you are getting your marks in pieces, right? How many pieces do you think you can take before you start to resent your marks?"

"I'm honestly not sure. I am slightly annoyed that I have to go through the pain over-and-over. I'd much rather have it all at once and just be done with it. I'm assuming it's doing this because I'm demisexual. If I was normal, like my soulmates, I'd probably already have the full marks by now. But resenting them? Nah. I don't see that happening. They just mean that I'm their soulmate, and I'm more than happy about that."

"Do...We've heard several weird stories about soulmate markings and how they've been showing up when or how they shouldn't have. Do you think that you're getting a part of their marks every time you fall for them a little bit more?"

I looked at Yoongi and saw him frowning. He and I had discussed this at length the other night, while Mandy was taking a shower. He looked so hurt that she didn't have one for him, yet, so we've been hoping that this wasn't the case.

"It makes as much sense as people getting a mark but were never given the Elixir. But honestly...I don't think that's what's happening to me. If that were the case, then it would mean that I felt nothing for Yoongi until this morning, when I got the first part of his mark. But that's definitely not true. Both Yoongi and Jimin have gone out of their way to make me feel accepted into their bond. To make sure that I knew that I'm not on the outside looking in. To make sure that I knew how much they care about me. And in doing that, by just...being them...the kind, caring, wonderful men that they are...they have effortlessly made me fall for them a little more, every day, since I met them. So no, I don't think that's what's happening here."

"Other than you being demisexual, and I'm not saying that it's a problem, I just don't know how else to word this question...but other than that, have there been any other problems in the bond between the three of you?"

"Well...I don't like being touched or touching people that I'm not comfortable with. It makes me feel like something is crawling all over my skin, unless they are my people. And when we first met, I pulled away from them so that they couldn't touch me. I know that I hurt them when I did that. Jimin especially, and even though he says that it's okay, I still feel bad about it.

"But you've gotten over that?"

"I wouldn't have made out with them, if I hadn't. Even more so with witnesses. There would have been a very telenovela slap, if that were the case. And really...I got over it on the first day. Or more...it wasn't even an issue with us. I found that I could touch Jimin after he saved me from the car. And we were all wondering if maybe it was a soulmate thing, so Yoongi touched me, too. Hugged me, actually. And it just felt...right."

"Are you happy with who Fate chose to be your soulmates?"

"What kind of a dumbass question is that? Have you seen those two? I mean, Park Jimin can turn the straightest man gay with one look, and Yoongi...fuck. His smirk has panties dropping all over the world. So yes. I'm more than happy. Who wouldn't be? It's Yoonmin! And Fate or the stars or whoever decides soulmate bonds, knew what they were doing, because those two are perfect for me."

"If you could change your bond, so that it was only two of you...would you?"

"If I would ever change our bond, it would be to remove myself, so that it's easier on them. They've been together a long time, and it's easy to see how much they love each other. But with me thrown in the mix...it's harder. So if I did change it, it would be that. I'd give them back each other. But I'm also selfish and I don't want to lose them. I can't say that I full-on love them, yet. But I am definitely in serious like with them."

"How will you deal with being the soulmate of two members of BTS?"

"Well...as long as ARMY and anyone else doesn't go crazy, I don't think that there will be any problems. I can travel with them, so there will be no risk of soulmate sickness. I just hope that once it's out there, people will be accepting of all of the BTS soulmates."

"How can you teach and travel? Or are you going to stop teaching?"

"Well, I speak English, so I could always teach that online. But I also teach drama, and Lord knows these goofy boys have to act for a lot of things. Maybe they need an acting coach."

"That's an interesting idea. This show is run by Hybe, you know I could make that suggestion for you."

"Sure. If you want. But I'd have to talk to my boys first. We are a team, so if they think that it's a good idea, then sure. But if they want to keep me barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen, then that's what we will do. We'll decide together."

"You said that you had a hard time at first, because you didn't know them and you don't like to be touched. But I have to say... you seem like you're fully into your soulmate bond now. It's nice to see. The whole world just wants these men to be happy."

"They deserve the world. They've given so much of themselves to make the world a better place. Through their music, shows, philanthropy, and all of the amazing work that they've done with notable organizations in multiple countries. They've given all of themselves for almost a decade and they haven't asked for anything back. I want them to be happy. More than happy, if that's possible."

I held both of my hands to my chest and tilted my head as I let out a happy sigh. She might not be full-on in love with us, yet. But I definitely was with her.

A/N: I said this at the end of Kris' chapter, but I'll say it again: Kris and Mandy are my real life best friends and soulmates. So when I did their interviews, I interviewed the actual people and had them answer as their characters. So yes...Mandy is really like this. In the best possible way. -------Kat
