"Soulmate? You're kidding me." Shelly looked at me confused and I couldn't even bother to explain anything to her before she shook her head and laughed.

The group in front of us looked at me with wide eyes. I could see that they wanted to ask more questions but they didn't want to push any boundaries. Heck, if I just found the soulmate to apparently one of the biggest bands around right now I would be curious too.

I stopped pacing and stared at my pretzels. "I really need to sit down."

"You can sit right here." One of the boys stood up and pointed to where he was just sitting. The sleeve of his red supreme hoodie was longer than his arm and it flapped around when he motioned for me to sit down. I gladly took his spot with much appreciation. 

So, going based off everything these kids said, I was a celebrity's soulmate. That would explain all the cameras when they were on the beach that day. But now I have to figure out how to meet him. It's not like I had the tattoo sign and could just write to him about it. I picked up one of my pretzel bites and ate it, trying to focus on something other than the new problems that were arising.

"This is so cool," said the girl with the blue streak. "I'm talking to Hobi's soulmate!" 

"Makes sense that you would be his soulmate. You have similar personalities. From what I've seen so far." 

My eyes moved to the girl with the BTS hoodie on. "You think so?"

The guy beside me stood up and Shelly thanked him before sitting down next to me. "Is this what you were going to tell me?"

"Well it was along the lines, basically yes." 

She put her bags down on the ground and turned towards me. "So when did  you meet him?"

"She met him four years ago," answered the boy in the supreme hoodie.

Shelly glanced at him, "I didn't ask you but thanks anyway. So (y/n) you've been keeping this a secret for four years, does anyone else know?"

I shook my head no and looked at my pretzel bites. I didn't realize I had eaten almost all of them while I was sitting down. 

"You know? It all makes sense now." The third girl finally spoke up. She stood up and walked to stand in front of me. Her long beige duster swayed around her as she tapped her foot. She pushed her glasses up and took a long look at me. It was slightly intimidating but it didn't stop me from asking her a question.

"What do you mean it all makes sense now?" I looked into her green eyes, waiting for a response. 

"This is what I mean. On American Hustle Life, that's the show they were filming hence all the cameras, everything was so suspicious. They made a big deal because a swarm of kids just rushed up to everyone but then the camera zoomed into you. You had such a cheerful look on your face and the little girl in your arms was so cute. I remember everyone talking about it. Especially you. Everyone wanted to know who you were. Then, later on, the camera started zooming into your necklace. But you grabbed it before it could be seen. The boys grabbed Hoseok's and that's when all the rumors started flying. Even four years later people still ship you guys."

My heart started beating fast as she described what she had watched. It was weird because that's how it happened. So now I know it was truly real, and millions of people know about it. But the girl didn't stop talking there.

"You know what's even better? How he looked at you. He gave you such a real genuine smile. Like you were the most beautiful person he had ever seen. And you did the same. Then it was over. Kids were thrown back to you, the boys rushed off. Over. But there was a split second where they showed you guys hugging. It was cute."

A blush rose to my cheeks and I looked down again. Shelly nudged me a few times and laughed when I looked up.

"But they never showed your necklace, never mentioned your name. In fact BigHit refused to comment on it."

"Who's BigHit?" Shelly spoke up beside me. 

"That's their company that they work for."

BigHit? They were one of the places that offered me a job. Was there any connection by chance?

"Has Jho- Hoseok said anything?" I wanted to know what his take was on the situation and why this was the first group of people to say anything to me.

"No. Every time they mention it, he just smiles bigger and then frowns. Like he remembers something sad. Sometimes he'll look at Namjoon and then shake his head before saying he doesn't know what they're talking about." 

Of course he would do that. He's only met me once, he doesn't know my name, and he doesn't live in the US. Not like I would be super easy to find. If only I knew this before. Why didn't I ever force myself to look up the name Jhope? Four years and not once did I look him up?

"Who's Namjoon?"

I turned to look at Shelly. I'm glad she was asking questions cause I was deep in my thoughts. 

It was the boy who gave Shelly his seat that spoke up this time. I could see the marking of a black stain on his arm. "He's the leader of BTS, so they usually look at him when it comes to press related issues."

Shelly and I nodded out heads in understanding.

"They're like super close with each other," added the girl in the hoodie. "So they probably know about you and how he feels."

I bit my lip in frustration. All I could think about now even more so was him. Even since I met him, I could never get him out of my head. I never thought to much about Soulmates or what my Soulmate would be like if I met him. 

But then I did. 

And now I can't let him go.

I stared out at the setting sun, almost forgetting that this was an outdoor mall. The colours danced across the sky and I couldn't help but think I wish he was here to see this. If only he was here.

Gripping the wall where I sat at, I pushed myself off. "Well you guys, thanks for this information."

"Are you leaving?" The green eyed girl came to my side. "Should we exchange numbers, all of us then? Or Snapchat? Instagram?"

The others nodded their head and I smiled. "Sure, I'll give you my Snap. I'm on it a lot anyway. Let's make a group chat, I'm sure I'll be asking more questions plus you guys seem cool."

"Wait a second." Shelly was stil sitting down with her legs crossed. "How old are you guys anyway?" She looked hesitant to give out her Snap and I could see why. Don't won't anything getting back to us, especially underage fans of my soulmate.

"The boys and I are 19. Those two are 18," said the girl with green eyes. 

"19? Really?" Shelly glanced at the boy with the soulmate stain. She looked at me.

'He's cute,' she mouthed towards me. I rolled my eyes and laughed. 

Shelly went to stand up, but as soon as she stood up, she tripped. The boy with the stain moved to catch her before she fell. His hands were around her waist and he smiled down at her. I rose an eyebrow at the sight but then something caught my eye.

"Shelly, lift up your hand."

She turned her head towards me slowly, "Why?" 

Her hand was on the same spot as his stain and when she lifted her hand, it was an ombré blue. A gasp left her lips and the the boys gaze left her face and went to his arm. You could see his grip tighten on her as his eyes widened.

A grin grew on my face and I leaned towards the girl in the hoodie, "Called it."

Ahahahaha bet you guys didn't see this update coming. Not gonna lie, I didn't either. It just happened.

So what do you guys think about this development so far? And what do you think your mystery job is for BigHit to have contacted you?
