Take my hands now...

In a very cozy apartment in the Seoul Trimage

Lisa was relaxing with her band members in her luxurious lounge. Jennie and Jisoo were lounging on the sofas indulging in fresh cut-up fruit.

Rose just got in from the mall, and she went with one of her other kpop best friends. They dropped her off. She looks extremely pale.

"Hi, guys, did you hear about BTS!!!"

The attentiveness of everybody was sudden. Lisa, who was busy at the kitchen counters preparing yummy snacks, eyes widen." What!!!"

Rose, with a booming voice:" Cheoyong and I went to buy some ice cream, and we saw a newspaper stand with these caption from the Daily Korean ...Did you know Bts was in a minor car accident?" She waves the newspaper in front of them. The girls jump up with a speed that is news."

"What!!! Is Jungkook ok?' Lisa ran to the group with fear in her voice. Jungkook is the love of her life. They have been dating secretly for months, and no one had to find out, but that silly tabloid follows them to their secret dating spot. They were so stunned to be exposed. She hoped Bighit would not demand Jungkook to break -up with her as he broke up with that annoying Momoland star, Nancy, who he dated after graduation. She knows Nancy hates the BP girls, but who cares? They are on top of the world right now, next to the megastars BTS.

"Is anybody hurt? "Jisoo looked concerned. She hoped nothing happened with her sisters' soulmate! She and Yoongi had a rough start, but after he and her sister got together, they started to warm up towards each other for her sisters' sake.

"I don't think so, and somebody go put on the television, you know BTS always make national news. It might be all over the news...quickly. Let read the article. I was too shook even to read it. I just bought it." She read the article, and It was in Taiwan. During their concert tours.

Jisoo was very relieved after she sends a text message to her sister, that was with the band. Bighit decided only to reveal the soulmates when every boy got theirs. She is a little apprehensive about Lisas' relationship with the golden maknae. Kookie is one of the most sought-after idols globally, and he has a magical effect on the ladies with his shy smile but manly physique. Lisa is madly in love with him.

She tragically lost her soulmate in a hit-and-run accident. They were yellow-stringed. According to investigations, it was a calculated murder by one of the band's saseang fans. A disgruntled fired YG - employer went to the media and spilled the beans on the girls' love lives. The guy's face was plashed on the tabloids. He was on vacation for a month in South Korea when he and the Blackpink idol accidentally bond in a CHANEL store where he visits to buy a bag for his mother. He was from Thailand and an engineer. They loved hanging out together.

But Lisa is the yellow string wanted them to remain friends in each other's lives until that unfortunate thing happen. So Lisa was very distraught for several months.

She still saw Jungkook secretly. After she met her soulmate, Jungkook broke off the relationship, but she didn't want to lose him, and right after the accident, she was registered as Tarnished. She can legally fall naturally in love, but she was already in love with the BANGTAN Boy member.

They rekindled their relationship even in the midst that Jungkook has a destined soulmate.

Jisoo looks at Lisa with a concern," Lisa, I'm apprehensive about you. The amount of love investment you put in Jungkook is concerning. He has a soulmate out there. What are you going to do if he meets her? Remember, Nancy didn't receive her soul mark yet, claiming that Jungkook would be hers. Look how she hugged him last year at the MMA's."

Rose grins," Nancy hates us. She always looks at us with daggers. She is fighting to get him back. Her girl band is helping her. Jungkook has been invited to one of the girls' 21-st birthday parties. He went for only an hour with his manager and Taehyung as his plus 1. He allegedly hooked up with her again."

Lisa looks at Rose with a deadpan look," Rose, Nancy is a first-class fool. It was only a rumor and a lie. Jungkook said they left before the hour was over. She tried to lure him in, but he didn't budge. She is living in a dream world. Kookie will never be hers."

Jennie smile," Enjoy your time with Kookie, Lisa but be open-minded. I was in love with Suga for years, but after he told me he already got his soulmate, I accepted it and moved on, and now he is friends with me... I'm still a little jealous that Jisoo's little sister got him as a soulmate...Not to be a drag, but Jungkook will meet her anytime. He is already 22 years. "

Jisoo hugged a dejected Lisa," Look, enjoy your relationship, but keep it pure because you'll be in big trouble if you trigger any intimacy bonds, and he has a soulmate out there. If you were under 20-years, the two of you could've gotten away with almost anything. But the moral code is more fierce these days, especially on rich celebrities. So you'll be fined half your fortune."

Lisa s' eyes are tearing up as she looked at the expressions of her worried friends," I...I love him, guys, and I...don't want to lose him unexpectedly like my soulmate...I want to be with him so bad, girls...I know Nancy, she not a match for me, but who is his soulmate out there, is she a plain girl, non-famous, unknown to the world, or is she well-known. If she is a celebrity, I'm going to have an uphill battle to win him."

"Just hope he is a yellow sting because a blue string will make him super possessive and protective of his soulmate, he will be more in her company than yours and forget him already if he is a red-gold string...because there's no way he will love you passionately...he'll dump you on the spot in favor of his soulmate," Rose explained.

Lisa shook her head with determination, "He is mine...I'll fight for him. The whole country knows know that we are dating, so..."

Jisso nods, "Ok...I'm glad they are safe and sound...Come guys, let us watch a movie on Netflix. I saw a new drama. My sister has a minor role in it. One of her first cameos in a movie."

Jennie and Rose rushed to get the best spot in the lounge with excitement. Jisoo smile at her friend that stood with furrowed brows. " Come, let us have some fun..."

Lisa smile widely," I'll be with you now. The popcorn, chicken pops, and dips are on the counters. Help yourself. Tell Jennie to pour in more potato chips and sweets. I need to do something quickly."

She turned around and went to her room, closed the door, and call a familiar number." Hi Kookie"

Kookie's voice is so happy," Hi baby...I hope the news of our accident did not shake you."

Lisa grins loudly," Almost...we got the paper today...I'm glad all of you is fine...will you be at home?'

"Oh, not yet...we'll be home in two days for the Mnet Music Awards...is Blackpink going to attend...I miss you, Nallalisa-babe?" His voice is suddenly very husky in her ears. Shivers run down her spine at the sound of that tone in his voice.

She laughs at the pet name he gave her," Er...I think so because we are nominated for seven awards."

"I wish you all the best...you'll get that daseangs...I'll root for you....where are you now?" Jungkook asked.

"At my apartment, if you get home...please come and see me..."She knows she sounded a little desperate, but she needs his love confirmation.

"Ok, love you...I'll text you when we have landed. I'll see you maybe after 6 pm...not be spotted," he replied.

"I...I want you to stay over..." she uttered breathlessly.

...........................

Jungkook pov.

The boys were slightly shaking from the minor accident in TAIWAN, but luckily no crew members got hurt.

Two days later, the Bangtan Boys were delighted when they learned that they had won the TIME's Person of the Year poll, beating out other artists, world leaders, and politicians among those who voted. Planet Earth narrowly trailed BTS in the survey. With millions of votes cast, BTS outpaced Planet Earth by 0.12%.

It was late the following day that the band arrives at their mansion. The five Bangtan Bells were with the band in Taiwan and will also stay in their private quarters at the mansion.

Taehuyng, Yoongi, and Jin went to bed. Yoongi just shrugged and took his soulmate to his quarters, stating they haven't spent enough time together.
And she'll be leaving the next day. Jhope took his girl to his private penthouse. They'll be coming over late Sunday afternoon. His family wants to spend time with her.

Jungkook was a little restless. Namjoon was looking at him with furrow brows, "What's up with you?...do you have a butt filled with termites?"

Jimin smirks, "Hmm, that look and attitude is a " wanna sneak out" look." Jimin was fiddling with the PlayStation controller.

Namjoon looked a little peeved, "Oh no! You are going nowhere, Kook. After the dating scandal, Sejin and the management are having tight ropes around you..."

"Oh, come on, Hyung, I haven't seen Lalisa for almost two weeks. I miss my baby!" he whines.

"Ohhh, he misses his baby...Kooks, you were supposed to break up with her. But, bang, PD is going to call you in. You can only date your soulmate!" Jimin uttered. He had to leave the girl he loved a year ago, almost two years. But after he received that Flippen "late whispers soul mark," he had to try forgetting her consciously, and it's still not easy. She is still the sole heiress of his heart.

He just hoped that his soulmate would help him move on from "Red."
Now Jungkook is in the same boat. He has to break up with Lisa "today," but the little golden Maknae was always a little defiant.

"I love her, and I don't want a soulmate now. What if she is ten years older. I'll die with my family."
Jungkook doesn't want to break up with Lisa, and he is too in love with the beauty.

Namjoon smile, "I know it's difficult, but you need to adhere to the rules, Kooks."

"But...my Soulmate might come very late in my life. I can't wait forever if there are willing girls around that want me." Jungkook looks like a naughty little kid who wouldn't receive ice cream. Jimin was in stitches.

"I can only let you go if you promise to go break up with Lisa, "Namjoon states with raised eyebrows.

"At least let me go and explain to her about the consequences. I need to see her asap....can I go?" He looks at his leader with a pleading face.

Namjoon sigh deeply and nod, "Ok...remember I've told you and you are not going to sleep over Jungkook. Tabloids will sneak around to catch you, especially after the dating scandal. You don't want your face splashed out in those sleazy magazines sneaking out of her apartment."

Jimin snorts," Don't be too sure of that Hyung, I've learned the hard way. Back in Sydney, they had very personal pics of my girl and me at the beach. We were so busy making -out that we didn't hear anything. You can never be alone. Look at Namjoon -Hyung with his so-called best friend. That tabloid caught him kissing his "best friend," and because of that article, his "real" soulmate kept herself hidden from him, thinking that he is in a relationship. Maybe your soulmate also saw the online dating scandal, and she might do the same thing...be careful lil'bro."

The two looked at the seriousness of Jimin's face and what he said resonates in their minds. Tabloids can ruin soulmates.

"I'll be careful. But we had to attend the Mnet Awards, and give me time to mellow the blow. So I promise to be safe. Ok. But she wants me to stay over" he pursed his lips at the shocked looks on his Hyungs faces.

Jimin inhaled sharply," Kookie, you have a soul mark. The moral code will not be lenient. My Aussie girl and I were both Tarnished. After we triggered the intimacy ritual, we couldn't get enough of each other....so please don't let her manipulate you into doing things you not ready for...I don't regret it...but you have a soul mark now."

Jungkook nods," I do understand Hyungs...but let me spend time with her for the last time...gosh, I love her, guys...how will I stay away from her."

Namjoon looks at the little maknae with a severe expression," You have to, unfortunately...remember that Nancy girl spilled the beans after you have broken up with her. The tabloid had a field day. That group used our name for cloud, and people took notice. ARMY and BLINKS are not so friendly with each other on any platform...so it will be tough...Yoongi's girl was not a full-time Black pink. We don't know how ARMY will react cause more than half of the soulmates are not Korean."

Jimin nods in agreement. "True, look how shocked ARMY was when they found out I hooked up with a white Australian girl for almost five days. They thought she's my soulmate. Where did you hear about four nightstands? Hell, I dated the girl. She was officially my girlfriend... Dating Lisa will bring unnecessary complications to the band."

"Ok, I'll keep it in mind. I'll be careful." He looked hopeful to Namjoon.

Namjoon smiled a little." Ok, go, but only for two hours, or I'll spill the beans. Go!"

"Jeeze ...I feel like that darn curfew in high school is again in operation."Jungkook looked a little annoyed.
The boys told him to use the motorbike that Sejin left at the mansion. Nobody knows it. Jungkook nods and puts on his leather jacket and pants, and left the two hyungs.

Jimin shook his head, "That Maknaes dating life gives me grey hair...I'm going to sleep now. Are you coming, or are you waiting up?"

"I'm going to wait up and see if he listen to us. My soulmate is sleeping in any case. After that, I'll watch a movie or write lyrics" Namjoon went to take a seat on the sofa. Sometimes he is so done with the boys' chaotic behavior.

"Do you want me to make you some hot chocolate and mini marshmallows? "Jimin offered.

Namjoon smile, "That will be so lovely. Thanks, Chimmy..."

At Lisa's apartment

They were lying in each other's arms on the beige-colored leather couch. Lisa was lying on him with her arms around his waist. He was looking lovingly down on her beautiful face.

He was caressing her hair. He is so proud of his baby. She has been voted by a poll and came up with the most beautiful female celebrity out of 100 women.

He loves her so much, and he doesn't want to break up. It pains him to do it to her. If he meets his soulmate...he'll swear he will reject the bond and reunite with his, Lisa. To hell with FATE.But what if his soulmate doesn't want to let him go. She will have the right to refuse to set him free, and the system will never register him as Tarnished without both their consent.

He wants to marry Lisa one day. She is everything he wants in a woman, Ok, not everything. She is a celebrity, and she's gorgeous, she's kind and strong, she has tanned skin which he likes, she is a singer like him, a model for highly acclaimed design houses...

But secretly, he always had a soft spot for a sassy black girl...but he shook that image away from him. That is way...way in the past.
A secret Lisa and Bangtan doesn't know anything about.

"Nallalisa, you know how much I adore you?"
His beautiful eyes look sad, deep inside of hers.

"I love you, Kookie...I don't want to lose you. Please don't leave me." She looked as if she wants to burst out in tears.

Jungkook sits up from the couch and pulls her up with him, "Lisa, my agency is tough. I'm 22 years old and still on the dating ban list. Please understand ." He cupped her face in his hands. He was kissing her lightly on the lips. She looked sadly up at his handsome face.

"I...I can't see myself without your love Jungkook. We can date secretly like we used to. We already denied the rumors."

Her heart cannot take it. She loves him so much.

"What if they caught me out of your apartment...I can't stay over, babe...Namjoon Hyung is waiting for me. We need to end this, babe...we both under contract. You'll always have a special place in my heart " he looks sadden by the fact that he needs to end this beautiful relationship. Bangspd word is the law.

" No... no, please...I love you." She hugged him tightly.

"Lisa...Lisa...look at me, it has to be done, babe...and I love you too. This is breaking my heart." he lifts her chin to look square in his sad face. But, he had to do it, he promised.

She was crying severely....how will she cope? Seeing him everywhere, attending the same events, shows...their feelings for each other will be evident. Girls are falling over him. She is already jealous of their ARMY.

She snakes her arms around his neck and bends him a bit down onto her level, kissing him slowly on the lips. Jungkook lost all reason and pushed her up on the counter and kissed her with unbridled passion. Their lips refused to leave each others'. How will he be able to leave her?...she was the object of his affection for years, especially when her crush on Taehyung ceased to exist.

Lisa was giving him everything with that kiss. They were breathless after their break-up kiss. He knows he needs to leave before they reach a point of no return...

After one last peck on the lips, he left a devastated girl crying heartbrokenly on her sofa.

Back home...He looks with an unhappy face at his leader.

"It's done...goodnight..."

A/n Jungkook broke up with Lisa. Do you think they will be able to stay away from each other?

Thank you to all my Kookie-stans-your reads, votes, and comments. I hope you love the chapter. There was a slight spoiler about two books in the series. I hope you check out the other boy's love woes.
