First Love

"What's the best part of the day?"
"Being able to see her."

"You okay?" It was Sora who had asked that of her. Nothing can escape her eyes, can it? "Yeah! I'm fine. Just didn't get enough sleep." Mishil said, trying to move her right arm to the minimum.

"Noona! Come here!" Huening Kai called. All of them were younger than her but acted like a mini group of bodyguards to her since it was no secret to the boys that this Noona was their Namjoon Hyung's soulmate.

The youngest made her sit on a couch while Taehyun handed her a bottle of water. Mishil, even if she didn't want to, had to lift her right hand to grab the bottle because the other was holding some important papers related to TXT's debut in a few months.

She lifted her right arm, biting down her lower lip to prevent giving out a painful groan but fate had other plans for her. "Noona, your bonding bruises!" Yeonjun yelped, making the girl hiss.

The bruises were yet again, a darker shade of red, and even looking at them, would make a person wince. "Do you need healing?" Sora asked, kneeling in front of the girl. "No,  I'm fine, I actually...uh...rubbed them against the practice wall. It'll be fine." Mishil assured, not wanting to worry any one of them.

Sora nodded, not buying the excuse. She looked at the younger, her eyes squinted as she began storming. "Boys, get to practice and Mishil, send these papers to the Board of Directors. I'll be back in 20 minutes."

Sora walked out to the practice room, climbing up a flight of stairs, up the BTS practice room. Where the boys are practising for their upcoming album. Sora walked in, watching the boys practice their adorable choreography for their upcoming performance. Her eyes moved from her boyfriend being adorable to the tallest one in the room.

Why were these two so different? Why was she struggling to stay on her feet while he, was dancing like he was born doing it? What was that none of them knew? What games was Destiny playing with the soulmates?

The song ended with the boys holding out their index and middle finger and Sora saw the bonded skin on Namjoon's fingers being the same, old light pinkish colour. While Mishil's bruises were a darker shade of red.

Jimin noticed the older woman, smiling, "Noona!" They all turned to Sora. Jin smiled at his girlfriend, waving her in. Sora walked in, hugged her boyfriend, and then greeted all the other members and staff.

"Namjoon-ah! How do you feel?" Sora looked at Namjoon who was laughing with Hoseok about something. "Oh, good Noona! I feel great. How are you? The boys?" The younger ones smiled at their leader's question.

"Sora Noona, Namjoon Hyung wanted to ask, how Mishil Noona is doing?" Jungkook snickered, teasing the leader. "Yah! Stop it!" Namjoon blushed, hitting the air as Jungkook dodged his fist. "She's good. Honestly, the boys are so fond of her. It seems like she's been with them for more than just a month."

It had been exactly one month since Mishil had joined BigHit as Sora's assistant and let's just say, things were falling into place. Day by day, her relationship with Namjoon escalated. Now, whenever these two were in the same room, they were always talking, joking or just healing while leaning on each other.

One similarity these two had was they were real bookworms, so they could spend hours talking about their favourite books and characters.

Moreover, since Mishil was an ARMY, they talked for hours about their music, their lyrics, the MV theories and a lot more. They both were long past the stage of awkwardness as Mishil spent at least 3 nights each week at the BTS dorm, where she and Namjoon shared his king-size bed.

The soulmates held each other, cuddling from time to time and talking till their eyelids begged to meet. They were halfway between the relationship of liking each other's presence and liking each other, as people. One thing was for sure, Namjoon had grown to care for Mishil as much as she had grown to care for him.

Sora saw the broad expanse of Namjoon's cheeks turn crimson as the boys went teasing him. She kept on looking at the leader, her eyes searching for any sign of weariness. Even a tenth of tiredness she felt just a floor down. When she saw Namjoon being what he was at his usual chaotic and cheerful self, Sora's insides quivered with fear.

She walked out of the practice room abruptly, confusing the boys. When Sora burst into the TXT practice room, she saw Mishil watching the dance practice while making sure that all the boys' belongings were organized and packed as the practice day was coming to an end.

"Yah Mishil!" Sora called, which made the younger girl turn her head towards Sora. "Yes, Unnie?" Mishil asked, weakly smiling. "Come on! Let's go to the BTS practice room. The boys are looking for you." Sora grabbed her sleeve.

"No Eunnie, I think I'll just go home." Mishil blushed, weakly shaking her head. "Okay. Then, I'll see you tomorrow." Sora added, releasing her sleeve. The soulmate stood there, wide-eyed and looking a tiny bit disappointed.

"Go!" Sora teased, looking at the younger girl's face. "Uh...yeah! Goodbye Unnie!" She began walking away when Sora laughed, grabbing her arm and pulling them up the flight of stairs.

Sora glanced behind her, to find Mishil walking up the stairs behind her, a silly smile plastered on her face. 'You like him that much, huh?' Sora teased, giggling noiselessly as she pulled the girl into the practice room.

He was feeling quite cheerful today. Learning the new choreography, getting things ready for the new album, and the news of their new collaboration was making him feel quite satisfied with himself.

And, like the perfect cherry on top, she was here.

Namjoon never thought himself to be the type of person to be so attached to someone in such a short time. But, he loved it when his soulmate was around. In the past 3 months, Namjoon could not help but notice those tiny little details in her, that made his heart swell.

Like when she talked to him about those novels she read and the characters she loved; it seemed as though she was talking about people she knew in real life. Or like, the times she talked to him about BTS, her eyes sparkled with excitement. The same sparkle Namjoon had seen in the eyes of the ARMYs at the concert.

The leader was watching the members goofing around while they packed up and joined in, as Sora walked in, pulling someone in by their arm. "Noona!" Jimin cheered and then, broke into a smile when he saw the other person, before looking at Namjoon.

Namjoon's heart skipped a teensy little beat when she walked in, her hair falling down both sides of her face. She shyly greeted all of the members and exchanged a few words and one-armed hugs with them, all while Namjoon stood there, wishing that she would see him.

Mishil released herself from Jin's hug and turned to the one universe had chosen for her, her medium-length hair whipping through the air. Blood rushed to her cheeks as their eyes met and she just stood there, smiling at him. Sora laughed and pushed her towards Namjoon.

"Just go, yah!" Sora laughed, holding onto Jin's arm. She took slow steps which was too slow for the man himself. He strode over, towering over her. Mishil turned scarlet as her soulmate took her small palm in his large one and rubbed the space between her wrist and her thumb.

The soulmate's energy coursed through their veins as they sighed. The shimmery, warm and incoherently relaxing sensation recurs in their systems.

"How was your day?" Namjoon asked, his usual loud and steady voice now soft and nervous. "It was good. What about you?" She asked her tone down a decibel or two. She didn't trust her voice with him.

"Hyung let's go home! Noona's staying over today!" Taehyung said. "Mishil! You stay over too?" Hoseok suggested, flashing his heart-shaped smile at the girl.

She looked at Namjoon and the boy asked, "You in?" "Only if you want me to," Mishil said, messing with his fingers.

Namjoon did not answer but grabbed her hand in his. Joining the fingers together. Yep! They're falling in love.
