Wishing on a sky
Wishing on a scar
If It'll, there's the moonlight
I wouldn't want to wake up

Akira POV

Bodeum AirBNB

On Saturday, it was just you and Kenichi who went to Bighit. Yoongi and Hanbin looked at the papers they received in the therapy room, so Mr Sung accompanied you. Boxes are stacked on the top of a table. The medicine came very early.

A man from the medical company delivered the medicine with an expression of awe on his face. This man cannot comprehend that Min Yoongi stands in all his glory right in front of him. He hopes Yoongi will not sign the delivery note because he certainly will not return the original. Mr Sung signed the receipt after you had counted the medicine. The delivery guy was deeply disappointed. Well, at least he got to meet some stars at Big Hit.

Yoongi told you to appear at Bighit at 7H30 because the company has selected the five interns. You will also get introduced to the new interns who will become permanent employees at the end of their probationary period.

You felt a little nervous when you thought about what the other staff members might think about you working so close to Yoongi. Having this chance would have been a dream come true for Sarah.

Yoongi and Hanbin spent an hour organizing the medicine cabinet with you. They are so helpful to you. Yoongi then brought you and Hanbin something to eat and then left you to go home and spend time with his soulmate, who would be visiting the rest of the weekend.

It was hard to believe that your mind wasn't thinking about your soulmate. The reason you were laughing was probably that Hanbin was making silly jokes, and you were so busy. He's so lovely, and he said he would be your friend and hang out with you and the twins outside of work.

Your heart swelled with joy. Hanbin knows your bond is complicated, and all he wants is to become your new friend in Seoul. Make sure you are street smart and know where to go on your own.

He took you and the twins out for lunch and a city tour on Sunday. The day was so relaxing and fun. It seemed to the twins that you had met your soulmate when they first met him.

You stood up with a deep sense of apprehension on Monday, and butterflies filled your stomach. No matter what it was, your nerves were wired thin. There's a good chance BTS won't be there to meet the new staff. You wonder if Sol. I and Dove will make the final five. It's hard to know what to think about Dove.

There is something about her that makes you uncomfortable. Perhaps her friendliness, overly caring nature, or maybe her cold, beautiful eyes appear to have a warm veneer but are a mean depth within. The way Sol. is attitude may be slightly genuine, but the fact that she is Dove's best friend makes you wonder where her loyalties lie.

You won't make friends with them, since after they left you, or so they say they lost you at the underground shopping mall, you don't feel like making friends with them. Instead, you'll make friends with the friendly receptionist at the front desk.

Keitaro and Maria got together again. The group will visit COEX-mall and shop in Gangnam-Gu. Keitaro wishes to purchase designer clothing for himself. His style is more Gucci semi-formal or relaxed, while Kenichi wears streetwear from Mastermind and Fear of God brands. Chanel and Dior make you and your mom crazy. You have a beautiful Dior blouse that your mother got you.

Y/N, are you ready. You should be there by 7 h30 at least. You look good enough". Kenichi shouted from the hallway.

With a little bit of annoyance, you replied, "I'm coming. Just grabbing my accessories and bag.". After the display you showed Yoongi, your mind is not ready to see Jhope. Yoongi will be eager to hear about your bond with his superstar brother.

"Blimey sister...who peed in your porridge this morning. Get some sleep. Kei and I have noticed that you have been up since 3 in the morning," he replied.

"Apologies, my brother, I just feel strange today. I didn't have a nightmare again, but I feel more anxious about how people will perceive me after Friday. Everyone knows I work on the restricted floor of Bangtan." So you said, breathless. Keitaro is still asleep.

With just a nod, you were both off to Bighit for the start of the day. You wonder what the day will bring.

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

A middle-class area of Seoul

The previous day (Sunday)

It's a very dense day today in a small neighbourhood, and there's a high level of sand dust. Across the street, mechanics work on their cars while dogs bark. The household is quiet. The sound of a motorbike screeching down the road and a squealing mother talking loudly to her teenage kids who had just come home from a karaoke bar filled the air.

In the girls' ears, a booming voice echoes. She hated this house, this stench, the traffic, the noise, and the trains running through the subway. They would have continued staying in higher-class neighbourhoods if not for her father, who gambled away their life savings and lost his construction job because of his drinking. But no, because they lost almost everything in the second year of university. It was, therefore, necessary to move to Seoul 1.5 hours away from the love of her life, who lives in one of the affluent estates of Gwangju.

The little girl, aged ten, had a beautiful face and long plaits when they moved to the beautiful neighbourhood, and the boy was almost 11. Her parents were invited several times for Korean BBQs since the Jungs and Yoos were very close friends; thus, she and the younger son got to know each other. Their first love was as siblings, and they did everything together. One cannot see the other without the other.

During their tween and teen years, they started their puppy love story. The young lovers' families are thrilled to have them together, and the whole neighbourhood waits eagerly for the system to place them together. Fortunately, no one knew they weren't meant to be. It was a foreigner with whom she was mated. He will always have her heart. He is so stubborn. Why is that?

She apologized already for cheating with his best friend. It is as though he does not want to give them a chance. The girl told her mother that she is still invested in the arranged marriage with him, and he even proposed when she was seventeen, promising to marry her when they are both yellow string with their soulmates.

It's as if he's reluctant. He is wealthy and famous. Jiwoo is also an Instagram model, social media influencer and has started her clothing line. Having connections to the Jungs provided her with the opportunity to escape these slums.

He needs to see how much love they have for each other. She even had to tell a deliberate lie to get the internship. The final internship was up for grabs among twelve candidates. Most of the interns come from the top media and art schools and the best SKY schools. Her video editing and film grading courses were taught at an average university near her hometown. She resorted to more unethical measures when she was blocked several times to reach him.

First, she had to get her two favourites out of the way. She accidentally dropped her banana without them noticing. A star student at Korea National University fell and broke his leg on the third step. Unfortunately, he was not able to compete for the internship. There are ten internship spots and eleven candidates. Nevertheless, this girl with A+ grades at Yonsei was with Sol I's younger sister Tzuyu. She graduated as a Celebrity Journalist and was their biggest rival in the video film and editing group. Sol. I know her well. Her sister graduate before this rival, though.

When she was in the restroom, one of Bighit's managers a Ms Cheong, entered as if her luck could not get better. As soon as her chance came, she seized it. The grapevine told her that this Yonsei candidate girl was the favourite. So Dove has researched everything she could about his company, bodyguards, schedules, managers and rated the highest.

To reach Sejin, her greatest goal was to charm their choreographer, Sungdeuk, and their producer, Pdogg. The stylists and make-up department were much more receptive to her, but not that pretty Indian girl who always looked at her with calculating eyes, as if she could see right through her.

Using the cubicle, Ms Cheong nodded to the girls. Dove then glanced at an unsuspected Sol. She intentionally spoke loudly so that Ms Cheong could hear her. She told Sol. Yonsei student said she didn't pick Bighit because they don't have everything or much influence like Big Three. She whispered not so softly that their rival told the group that she is also lined up for two internships at SM and JYP entertainment.

She only participated in the company internship. It was her goal to meet Rapmon ( Kim Namjoon) and bond with him on this trip. Dove even told Sol. It was reported that the rival has a shrine of RM in her cupboard and even lights candles to the pagan gods as a way of attracting RM's love. Ms Cheong heard every word that Dove said in the restroom. Bighit never considers the Yonsei candidate. She lost her internship and Sol. I and Dove's positions were secured.

She was shaken to the core now by this new Japanese girl. Her ex seems to like this girl. They even spent time in his car after they left the mall. However, the way he looked at her and the way she looked at him was disturbing. Why does nothing work out for her concerning Akira?

Her phone rang, and she quickly picked it up. It is her gullible friend Sol. I a lovely but hopeless friend.

"Hey, Sol. What's up?" she asked tiredly. Her goal was to sleep in.

"Dove, I am glad you're awake, girl. I know you had to leave early Friday and that you missed the most interesting events at Bighit.' She heard the smug tone in Sol. I voice. Her mind is ticking. What does it mean?

Almost choking on her words, she uttered, "WHOA, WHAT'S GOING ON!".

"Our Japanese friend got the most lucrative job that all the interns wanted. Jungwoon announced it to us in the staff kitchen. Wow! It's still unbelievable. I got goosebumps just thinking about it." Sol I. sounded breathless with excitement.

You felt a slight irritation in your voice when you said, "Get to the point, Sol. What did she do to get into this position?'

"She got the most lucrative job with Yoongi, oh my goodness, my sexy bias. She got to see him all the time and-" she went on and on; however, she was cut off when Dove yelled out.

She squealed, "Wait for what, whoa, whoa!!!!"

"Yoongi employed her as his "personal" physiotherapist, and she has now become one of the most respected and admired interns among them. She is like our hero now." Sol. I gushed.

"How the hell did she manage to sleep with management?" Dove gritted her teeth as she started to seethe. Akira is like a termite and challenging to eradicate.

" Do not act crudely toward Akira, and she is a nice girl. Yoongi rewarded her after she helped him with his injured shoulders. She accepts. An empty office on the fourth floor near Jungkook's studio was turned into a therapy room. She is so fortunate that Yoongi gave her his Genius lab door code. She will meet the BTS producers at any moment." Sol. I was so impressed. Dove was green with jealousy. Akira will work closely with her "man". Dove's heart is filled with deep fear. She can't let this happen, not on her watch.

While she knows that he doesn't like Akira, his attitude toward her changed a bit. He couldn't even kiss her like usual, passionate and fiery, instead of giving her chase and light kisses she didn't want. The passion she wanted from him was not there, but she wanted it. She needs to act quickly. She will not let anyone stand between her and what belongs to her.

Her chuckle is strong. "Well, I'm glad for her. She mustn't think she is all that, now that she is close to our biases."

Sol. I enjoy laughing out loud, "Oh Dove...she is so down to earth. Hanbin likes her very much. They stayed together all weekend. I heard he visited them on Sunday. One of these days, we will hear dating rumour about them."

Dove was so relieved and surprised. Wow...well...Hanbin might come to the rescue". She has been given the best news of the day, but she needs to keep Akira and her "man" apart as fast as possible.

Her devious smile reflected in the mirror...

Akira pov

By 8h00, the interns and newly hired dancers were waiting in the staff cafeteria with their coffee and other hot beverages, eagerly awaiting the management to meet them. Sol. Jungwoon and Dove have been successful interns.

The other two interns are foreigners. One Taiwanese junior producer and one Indonesian got job offers as stylists. She worked for a film production company for two years. Their excitement was contagious, and today they will meet with the senior management. The four leaders were Sejin, Hobeom, Wang, and Cheong and two of the youngest managers, Hanbin. They are the closest to the boys.

Your worktop looked stunning with your navy pants and flats. Also, you wore your lanyard. These boys have been in rehearsal since 5 am this morning. By noon, rehearsals will be over. It doesn't bother you. Anyhow, you had plenty to do. Yoongi was upset that you would be at the company for most of the morning, but you reassured him that you would be fine. As a therapist, you will decorate the walls and work on rehabilitation and exercise plans that he can carry out at home.

You don't know if he has a soulmate, so RM may be able to help you with the massages at home. If he does, you could have brought her in and shown her the massage techniques only his soulmate was capable of. There are certain techniques you should avoid doing on males. Touching them in that manner is a bit embarrassing for you. Fortunately, it's only Yoongi's shoulder.

You saw Sol and Dove. They were laughing with exuberance while drinking coffee on the far end. Dove and Sol look so beautiful. Hanbin accompanied you. He was only standing next to you, even pouring you coffee.

Sol and Dove. Hanbin's caring nature makes the young group smirk and wiggles their eyes at you. You just shook your head. At least, no one will connect you with Jhope. The girls joined you. Warm greetings are exchanged between you.

Sol. With a teasing tone, she says, "Oh my, my..Hanbin got the hots for you?" she giggles when she sees Hanbin move to where the other dancers were standing. Despite her smile, Dove was focusing on your fresh beauty. Your hair was in a stylish ponytail at the back. You had a natural look with only a little make-up on your face. Dove's breath hitched in her throat. You are too beautiful for her to comprehend.

You got a wink from Kenichi. They had teased you all weekend about Hanbin's love eyes. Then you just shook your head.

The managers arrived just then. There was awe in everyone's eyes as you watched BTS management. Each of you took a seat in the cafeteria. Sol. I, Dove and you just sat down at a table. Your heart has been pounding all morning. Everyone is in awe of you. Being in BTS's inner circle is such a privilege.

Ms Cheong welcomed all of you and the new backup dancers and trainees. New crew members received loud applause. Loud yells were coming from the younger ones.

Ms Cheong smiles," And our five interns who made it through for the three-month probation period as employees. Let's welcome Choi Sol. I, Yoo Lin, our own Little Dove, Ji Jungwoon from the Video editor studio from South Korea. Second-floor editing studios will be their workspace. We also have Devi Sibarani from Indonesia and Yu-En Chen, a jr. producer from Taiwan. Let us make them feel welcomed and part of the team." Devi is stunning, and the dancers were all smirking. Like Dove and Sol, she was 24 years old. Jungwoon was 23, and Yu-En was 26 years old.

" There is a surprise addition to our medical team, a highly-skilled physiotherapist from London, Akira Sagami. Although she is from London, she will only be here for two weeks exclusively for Min Yoongi. So, back off, boys, until March 1st." Dove clapped enthusiastically as if she was so excited for Akira to join them and not about the fact that she would be leaving.

Great. You felt a deep pull in your gut just then. Your heart began to constrict, and your breathing became irregular. Oh my gosh, it's your soulmate and his team. There's no doubt they're headed for the cafeteria. What makes your bond so strong. It's no wonder Jhope is afraid to activate it.

What happened Friday could have ruined your life if it were activated. How can you keep each other from touching each other if it's red gold and intense now without activation? Jhope hates his attraction to you. With this pull, he will be plagued every single day. Your greatest fear is the person who will snap first. It wouldn't be you. His expressiveness contrasts with your timidity.

Your iPad kept you occupied. The NAVER app allowed you to browse the web. Your hands began to sweat when you felt it. You could hear someone laughing outside the door and wondered if the eldest was the one who had that distinctive laugh. Two bodyguards entered first, followed by the rest of the group. You could feel the gaze of your soulmate when you sat next to the two very excited friends, but your eyes went to Ms Cheong. As your heart trembles in nerves, you can't look at him. You can't take it anymore. Right now, you would rather be anywhere else than here. Even escaping is impossible.

Interns were introduced to the band by Ms Cheong. They bow politely to each other in greeting. Jimin and Jungkook waved and said hello to everyone in the crowd. The eyes of Jimin sparkled. Jungkook's bunny smile is so adorable, and Yoongi gave you a wink as well. Sol. You just smirked when she shoved your shoulders. You hope Yoongi won't annoy Jhope. He knows your connection now. You felt Jhope's irritation rise as he watched Yoongi wink discreetly at you. Don't talk about Hanbin, who was standing behind you.

It was evident your soulmate was troubled by the gazes of the males. He had to control his reaction so as not to act out of character. Yoongi didn't tell the boys about Akira, so he's thankful. Nevertheless, he felt an inner fury when he thought about Hanbin, who was walking on thin ice. With his sincere appreciation of his soulmate. He thought Akira looked amazing and fresh. Despite her quiet demeanour, she is very hot. Seeing her, his body began to react, and his hands began to sweat. Next to a smirking Yoongi, he breathed sharply.

Hanbin is massaging Akira's shoulders with his hands as he speaks. J hopes his eyes are glued to those hands.

In a whisper, Yoongi asks, "Is everything alright, Hobs?"

"Don't play dumb Yoongi-Hyung. You know very well what I'm going through." He clenched his teeth as he spoke, but he smiled while he did so. Inwardly, Yoongi grinned. Hanbin's hands didn't seem to bother Akira. If only Jhope had a machete to cut off those over-eager hands from his soulmate. Yoongi was well aware of his brother's internal struggles. Having been there, he understands how it feels. Jhope remembered what Yoongi said about her moving on. He trembled in fear at the mere thought.

Jin welcomed the new employees and wished them a wonderful time with Bighit. Namjoon smiled a dimpled smile and said to the new team, "you are all just like us.". Whether temporary or permanent. Taehyung just smiled and bowed, while Jimin, who stood next to Yoongi, smiled softly.

In his smirk, he asks, " Yoongs! So, when will I meet your Thera?" Akira stared at her iPad. In the end, Yoongi showed him the girl who Jhope dislikes. They were mesmerized by her cute looks. Her age, according to Yoongi, is 21 to 22 years old.

"After rehearsals," Yoongi promised. It will make Jhope mad. Who cares. I must push him to make the right decisions, which is to be with his soulmate. Jimin is the suitable catalyst to drive Jhope to action. He is relying on Maknae's acting skills.

Cheong and Sejin thank the Bangtan boys for taking the time to meet the new employees of Bighit. The employees clapped after the group bow. It was such an exciting experience meeting the superstars. They then prepared to leave the room with management. You were relieved that they would go, as FATE intended for you and Jhope to look at each other briefly before he followed Taehyung.

When the group left, there were excited squeals and chatter before everyone retreated to their workstations. Sol. I apologized, greeted you and ran out to talk to Devi, the stylist. It was empty in the staff cafeteria; only you, Dove, and Hanbin were getting ready to leave.

As you were leaving the room, a soft hand-held you back. Dove looked a little sad as you turned around. You wonder what's going on with her now.

She inhaled sharply before looking at you in a frown. You were asking," Dove, what is wrong?"?Her eyes seem to be a little moist. Is Dove on the verge of crying?

"C..can I speak to you quickly...I wanted to talk to Sol, but...but I am afraid she will judge me...but you are practically a stranger, and you will not look down on me." A deep sense of sadness laced her words. Why did Dove suddenly act like this? Is someone hurting her?

"I can help if I can...What is it?" Dove looks apologetic to Hanbin, linking arms with you and pulling you into the kitchen around the hallway. There's a look of surprise on your face. Seeing no one in the hallway, she glanced out of the glass kitchen door and closed it.

The confusion in your face is evident.

She stroked her hair and face as she stared at you, and you were still waiting for her to speak. Suddenly, tears streamed freely from her eyes as she looked conflicted. There was a broken look on her face like a limb had been taken out.

Her eyes are filled with sadness as she looks into yours. "Please don't tell anyone what I am about to say. I don't know whether Sol. can keep secrets of this magnitude. Can I trust you, first?" She spoke to you in Japanese. At least you understood.

Nodding, you replied, "Okay, I will keep your secret."

"He has been my boyfriend for over ten years, and something happened to misunderstand our relationship. We love each other so much, but he needs to keep his career up to keep the relationship. I'm afraid to lose him." She strangled it out. Pity fills your eyes as you look at her.

'Is he your soulmate? He will never leave you." You look at her with confusion in your eyes.

"Akira that's the problem...we aren't soulmates. There is a yellow string connecting me to my soulmate. We have decided to be friends because my boyfriend and I love each other too much, and keeping this a secret for years has been killing me. We agreed to reject our soulmates for each other. If he meets her, I'm not sure if it will happen. He promised to reject her if he meets her...we went home to our families this weekend. They are also preparing for our marriage...he fears his bosses will find out...we love each other so much that we have to avoid each other when we are in the public eye, which became increasingly difficult...we had to sneak around to be together...he feels so anxious all the time...I don't know how to handle it!" Her hands were covering her face as she cried. It must be painful for her to love someone but be unable to express it.

As she wiped her eyes, she extended her hands to you, "On Thursday, we exchanged our bucket list gifts...I gave him a silver pendant, and he gave me this ring...it symbolized the love we share...we plan to marry this year and start our family, but his job makes it complicated."

As you looked at the ring in her hand,

"H...Hope?" you ask softly as you read it.

"Yep, she gasped, "..Jhope from BTS is my fiance "... Immediately, you were paralyzed with shock. As the blood drained from your face, you had to sit down. That's unbelievable!! Dove is the girlfriend of Jhope. He rejected you because he loves her. It is no wonder he hates you so much. Oh my goodness. There is a sudden feeling of dizziness.

"...and we cannot be exposed. His main concern is their ARMY, and he wants to meet his soulmate to reject her so he can register as Tarnished. Our love is so strong, I'm afraid we won't get our happily ever after...she won't allow us to be together...but who wouldn't want to be with Jhope. It is a pleasure to be around him because he is charming, sexy and talented. I love him so much, but I can't let go of him," she rages on...

"BLIMEY!... JHOPE from BTS... I...I don't even know what to say, Dove... it's so huge!!" The words she spoke cut into your heart like daggers. The urge to cry is strong, but you can't. You kept your face expressionless. You can't bear the thought that you've lost your soulmate forever.

"I know it's shocking...but I just wanted to run up to him and kiss him this morning, but I couldn't do it. It looked like he was exhausted from rehearsal..." In frustration, she throws her hands up. Tears filled her eyes as she looked at you. It was even so bad that I was jealous of every girl that gazed upon him, including you...I thought you liked him and that you'd take him from me..."

Your mouth dropped open, "Me! Dove, I promised you...Jhope dislikes me, and I am in no way interested in interfering with others' relationships...especially that of famous people. Therefore, do not be afraid. For a lifetime, he must have loved you " your heart was filled with pain "...nothing can tear that love away..." You mutter to yourself with a whispered voice.

Your body was suddenly engulfed in a warm embrace. You almost fell from the chair as she tightly hugged you." Thank you...thank you, Akira. I was so afraid I would lose him. Don't tell anyone...management is unaware of us. Even his band doesn't know much, which makes him nervous.." With a wet wipe, she cleaned her face.

"I have to go to work...the video editor will wonder what happened...but Sol. I inform him that I will be late...Goodbye,Akira, and thanks for listening. Let's eat lunch together." With that, she dashed out of the kitchen, leaving a broken girl in her wake.

The emotional overload of heartbreak, loneliness, rejection, and loss overwhelmed you as you sat at the table. Then you broke into heartbreaking sobs without any resolve.

You have officially lost your soulmate...

A/N: Dove continues to play unfairly. The impression she gets is that Hobi might like Akira?
