Want to be fluttered with love, I know
Ye I know I know I know,

Jhope pov

The event was about to begin. Bang PD welcomes all staff members to the official listening party for Hopeworld and thanks to them for their hard work and dedication to the agency. Despite all hardships, the staff remained optimistic and loyal to the boys. There was a lot of clapping and hollering for Bang PD.

A smile spreads across his face as he calls the producers to discuss the new album. RM and Suga, who have already released successful mixtapes, congratulated Jhope for the much anticipated solo mixtape and wished him well. Hilarious Jin also thanked the staff and everyone who worked on Jhope's mixtape to make it a success.

The atmosphere was electrifying when the boys performed on one of their award-winning songs, "Not today".

New backup dancers did an exceptional job executing intricate and complicated moves. They put on an excellent performance for their guest. Staff members were taking fancams during the performance.

Jhope was overjoyed. He felt free and filled with excitement, maybe for the fact that "she" was watching him. They were giving them the best show.

Jhope's gaze was fixed on Akira as she gazed transfixed at the energetic boys. She found it surreal to watch BTS life, and Jungkook was on top of his game tonight.

Dove hated that she couldn't get Jhope's attention. She felt sick to her stomach that she put so much effort into looking sexy, but  Akira took all of his attention without trying with her fresh beauty and classy look. Dove could cry of disappointment, and it fueled her determination to make Jhope hers once again. She's now convinced as ever that Akira and her Seoki were having a secret relationship. She has a gut feeling that the two of "them" hooked up behind her back, and she wants to find out the truth.

It seems she and Sol. I were mistaken about Hanbin dating Akira.

Afterwards, her attention was again drawn to the stage where the dance crew performed two BTS dance breaks. Staff members were enjoying every moment.

Kenichi's progress impressed Akira so much that she took out her camera and focused on him. He dances fluently with clean moves similar to Jhope style street dances. She wanted to show it to their parents, and they will be super proud of him.

The Bangtan boys went to the dressing room next to the events room and changed into their party wear. They came back and were sitting and enjoying the dance breaks of the dancers. Sungdeuk did an excellent job.

He also changed into a silver shirt which thankfully covers all the evidence under his collar bones. With his black studded leather jacket and studded choker with a black bracelet, he looks like he's got it together.

Sadly, Yoongi's widening eyes are what caught all the evidence on his neck areas. He and Jhope were changing. He was stunned, but before he could say anything, Jhope shot him the stink eye.

He flashed his eyes and softly said, "Please ...don't you dare," which told Yoongi to zip up.

"I wasn't going to say anything?" Yoongi presses his grin back, but his eyes are filled with amusement. 

Jhope sighed tiredly  " I'm starting to realise that you were somehow involved in the elevator incident?".

Yoongi grins with innocent eyes, "How can you say that, Hobi? Did you see me do anything about it? The maintenance guys were fixing it, soooo... you and Akira-?" He quickly stops talking when he sees Jhope's death pan expression.

As he sarcastically turned to Yoongi and whispered, "Just don't... ", Jhope walked out of the room with Jungkook and Jin. Yoongi shook his head and followed behind him.

There was a relaxed vibe among the boys. They look like filled cats because their girls came along with them. Yoongi's soulmate will be a little late. Yoongi ordered her bodyguard and driver to pick her up from Incheon-dong, visiting a friend.

Jhope sat alone in the dressing room, staring in the mirror. His mind was only focused on his soulmate as he reflected on the events of the day. She looked so stunning, and Hanbin was all over her. Having served her food etc. Jhope felt a deep scratchiness in his mind, wondering how far Hanbin had gotten in his pursuit of Akira.

After that passionate kiss in the elevator, he knew he didn't want to lose his soulmate to his manager. He knew it would destroy him slowly. His fingers brushed away his hair as he sighed deeply. Despite his intense desire for her, he is terrified by the bonding process like a cat in water. Just thinking about sharing his heart again makes his heart constrict painfully. Perhaps he needs actual therapy.

 His family and brothers think he hates the system. However, after the Dove fiasco, he felt deeply insecure that the one he loved would always choose someone else. As a result, he erected a fortress of chains and fetters around his heart so that no one could get past the barriers he set around it. Trust might be a significant problem for him. He feels vulnerable right now because his heart has betrayed him. Having fallen in love with his soulmate, he discovered he had to keep it a secret under any circumstances. The savage cat now has an idea.

"Well, this is pretty messy", he murmured. How will he survive, knowing Akira  will be with Hanbin in the same hotel in Tokyo as he is. Fortunately, the staff always occupies the floor below them. The bodyguards on their floor usually stood at the elevators watching over the boys and soulmates.

When he was thinking of soulmates, Jhope almost detected an ominous feeling that BangPD had planned something. He and Akira can't complete the bond, and he will stall until he can no longer. So long as he still feels energetic and can perform any rigorous dance breaks. It will be alright for him. His trip to Japan will not be ruined by FATE. There's no way.

He will deny loving his soulmate as long as possible. She already ruined him mentally, and now she is busy destroying him in a physical sense. He desires her so much that it wants to drive him insane. She needs to be kept away from him; otherwise, he will lose it big time. He already fears that she is well aware of his feelings for her and is not immune to her charms. This afternoon makeout session can attest to that. Shivers run through his body. He needs to focus.

He get the impression that Yoongi spilt the beans and that Hyungs and Maknaes are aware of his unwanted soulmate status. So then, why does their smirking seem so conspiratorial? Even Samiya and the younger soulmates shared a knowing look whenever their eyes met. They all know what's up with him already, and it makes him angry. It will be one of the most challenging trips ever.

Akira and he will both be happy if they keep their distance from each other.

The sound man knocks on the door and tells him that they are ready if he is.

As soon as his name is called out, he hears the thunderous applause. With a bright smile, he went to do what he was called to do. Perform.

Only the disco balls illuminated the room in the dark events room, and the only thing he could see was glittering happy faces. Their staff dearly loves them. Upon entering the stage, he started with Daydream. On the beat, staff members were clapping and dancing. He stood in the middle of the stage, surrounded by dancers. His boys, with big smiles, supported him. Taehyung and Jimin were both hollering loudly. He was dancing and singing his heart out.

As his eyes searched for you, his smile grew wider when he saw you dancing with Naledi and Do-Yun, who were screaming madly in delight.  His soulmate smiled a little amused at her new friends, who thoroughly enjoyed his performance. They danced while filming him, and his soulmate made him smile inwardly.

There was a lot of jumping and cheering from the new interns, and there was a tremendous amount of support. The lightning crew made sure that it looked like a small scale BTS performance by displaying the daydream music video on all LCD screens.

Jhope locked eyes with Dove. Seeing her dance so provocatively, he wonders how she became so sensual. This was not like her at all. The thought was dismissed because he had not been in contact with her for five years. She changed...people change. Hopefully, she has given up on him and is returning to her soulmate, who might be missing her badly because of his blue string. Akira's presence killed his feelings for her.

Jhope performed two more tracts, but his eyes remained on Akira. His attention was focused on her while he rapped, and she seemed nervous and flustered at the same time. He mesmerised her and made her watch open-mouthed. After catching his calculating eyes on her and smirking lips, her face became even redder.
Thunderous applause greeted his performance. All the tracks on the album were well received, and the rest of the night is spent dancing and listening to all the tracks.

The entire production team enjoyed dining and drinking together. Photos were taken of the boys.

Jhope was exhausted and sweaty when he got off the stage, so Jimin gave him a bottle of chilled water. He swallowed it in big gulps, suddenly feeling the emotions of his soulmate. He was turning her on big time. She watched him transfixed, the sweat on his face,  where she sat at the table. Blushing, she quickly drank some of the remaining Sprite soda on the table and conversed with Naledi.

Jhope smirked as he sat down to rest for a bit before walking back into the dressing room to refresh. He was energised. The listening party enjoyed the whole album.

Samiya and Sol. I handled the merch gifts. Staff members received CDs, t-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, keychains, and a very limited edition vinyl album. Hopeworld gift bags all had different contents. It was a pleasant surprise. Each gift was packaged in a Hopeworld tote bag. The staff was thrilled to receive a gift bag.

Akira pov

You were dragged onto the dance floor by Naledi and Do-Yun. You enjoy dancing, and you reluctantly dance with them. Naledi and Do-Yun looked a little tipsy as they jumped up and down. You chose not to glance across the room at the boys and three pretty staff members having fun.

Jhope made you so proud inside. You wish him all the best in life. No matter what happens between the two of you, you'll always support and care for him. Like tonight, you want to see him so happy. It was the first time you saw him laughing so heartily with his Bangtan brothers.

Hanbin was also making fun of the staff who were dancing strangely on the floor around you. Sejin's wife is also present, as is Hobeom's soulmate. They are having the time of their lives.

Staff members went to the bar multiple times. You would like to enjoy an exciting cocktail later before Hanbin takes you home. The night is still young, and it isn't even 9 pm yet. By 10 pm, all Bighit trainees must return to their dorms.

During your time with your new friends, you also congratulated Kenichi and Afonso on their excellent performances. Jhope came back in a different outfit. You couldn't help drooling at the sight of him as he laughed with Jin and a pretty stylist. Even Dove was drooling at the sight of him. There seems to be a close bond between each of them.

Another round of food platters was served. While your two new friends were having too much fun on the dance floor, you and Hanbin took some sushi and designer crackers and sat together and chatted.

Your eyes darted around the room, making sure not to meet any of the Bangtan boys. You saw how happy Yoongi looked with one of the guests next to him, and you wondered if it was his soulmate.

As the staff watched them, they noticed the affection in his eyes for this girl who looked so familiar. There is no doubt that they like each other. Wow! Your eyes widen as you see her...she looked like a member of that Kpop girl group you watched on YouTube.

Well, that's his private life. As much as possible, you want to stay out of it.

A grin spread across Hanbin's face. "Your boss is coming in this way."

You widen your eyes as you look at him, "Who is that? Bang PD or Mr Min?" You feel your heart flutter as some of the staff members fix their gaze on your table. Yoongi will never approach people in that way.

"At your 3 o'clock...He doesn't care who looks at you." Hanbin smiled as Yoongi approached the table. You glance up from your food and smile softly at your favourite kitty.

" Hey Hanbin-Hyung, Akira...my, do you look stunning?" he teases you as the two boys look at your blushing face. You gave them both stink eyes that amused them so much.

"Hi, Mr Min", you responded quickly, smiling widely.

A grinning Yoongi scrunched up his nose as he answered, "Ugh, how many times have I told you not to call me that?" He asked Hanbin, " Can you please excuse Akira for a moment? I want to introduce her to the " tour staff ". He smiled so charmingly.

What is this kitty cat up to? Why not meet the tour staff later?

As Yoongi gestures with his eyes to come with him, you furrow your brows. Pick up your bag and follow him.

As soon as you were out of Hanbin's hearing range, who stood and joined a few other men sitting at the bar, you looked at him inquiringly.

You whispered next to him, "Why must I meet them tonight? Yoongi, everyone is staring at us, and it isn't very comfortable. Doesn't it contravene management rules?"You whisper-yelled back.

Yoongi just smiled down at you as he walked alongside you to the VIP section, where a bodyguard stood.

He looked so carefree, not thinking about the envious glances you were getting from the new employees, especially from a pair of cold eyes who was watching your movements the whole evening, resenting you more than ever at this moment. What makes you so unique?

"You are my personal Thera and my new "girl-best friend" so. I want to hang out with you outside of the workplace. You look great, by the way. You sure made your soulmate act strange tonight," He laughs as he looks at your nervous expression.

You widen your eyes," Oh, my word Yoongi...what are you doing to him? He will be so mad now?" Your heart races as you imagine Jhope's reaction. What is Yoongi doing tonight? Yoongi didn't answer and just smirked. Being in such proximity to your soulmate would make you desire strange things.

The guys were having a fantastic time when he noticed Jhope's expression changing when he saw you having fun with their young manager. He knows Hanbin is not Jhope's favourite right now and wanted to make sure Jhope's important night wouldn't be ruined by the threat even if Hobi confronts him at home.

As you and Yoongi approached the red rope, the bodyguard opened it. Your producer's smiles were friendly as you gave them all a slight bow. Me Cheong waved friendly at you while chatting with the doctor and two managers, and you smiled and waved at her. The butterflies were bursting in your stomach as Yoongi steered you with his hand on your elbow toward where the boys were teasing each other. On the white sofas, two girls were looking at you with interest.

It was apparent your soulmate was conflicted as he looked at Yoongi with narrowed eyes filled with accusation. Little kitty couldn't care less.

"Hello guys, look who I brought up to hang out... I wanted her to meet Jin-Hyung." Yoongi smiled. You look nervously at the group that greeted you jovially. All of the maknaes came at once and embraced you, unaware of the curious looks you received from some staff members. Nevertheless, the youngest maknae lifted you high without caring who saw them. You squeal in shock as everyone laughs at your red face.

"Oh, my word, Jungkook...not in front of the whole staff! Are you crazy!" Jhope shouted, and he was annoyed by the smirks and knowing glances between the boys.

A sexy smile formed on Jimin's face as he said, "Akira You look so stunning?" He waggled his eyes in flirtatious mode. Jimin's open flirting makes you blush as the boy's smirk. Jhope sighed. It seemed like the boys were trying to test him, seriously, he thought as he rolled his eyes.

"Hey, little Th era, it's high time I meet Yoongi's young "doctor". It's so good to meet you after weeks of waiting finally." He said merrily.

You merely smile warmly at as kind-hearted Jin and greet the boys calmly, "Great performance, guys.". You glance at Jhope, whose face was expressionless despite the emotions inside him, "You did an excellent job out there, Jhope...you killed it.".

Boys snicker at the awkward atmosphere around you two.

As he smiled softly, beaming at his soulmate's compliments, he murmured a soft "Thank you, Akira". Gazing into his eyes, you notice how flustered he appears.

As Namjoon and Yoongi stand, they look at each other." He is so whipped", Namjoon whispers with a snort to a smirking  Yoongi. A soft snort erupts from Yoongi.

"We are going to make him break, starting tonight." said the conspirators.
As you are sensing your soulmate's frustration, you look discreetly at Yoongi, pleading with him to let you go back to your friend, but this betrayer simply smiled and gave you a thumbs up.

Yoongi looked at you amid the hyped-up maknaes. It was Jhope who pursed his lips tightly, and Yoongi did it on purpose, and he knows that.

Taehyung told the boys he wanted her to meet the girl tour staff members. It surprised you how excited the boys were to have you present in their midst. Being there already makes you nervous. You tried to avoid your soulmate's gaze, but your emotions spoke volumes. Although you desired to be with each other, one of you was fighting it.

He led you to a beautiful girl who was speaking with the "familiar-looking girl".

"Hello gals, here is our very own physiotherapist from London Akira Sagami. Her brother is the dancer that passed the two auditions and is part of our new crew. Akira meet Yunru Lee and Kim Ji-ho "The smiles on their faces were very welcoming. Their beauty and friendliness left you speechless. It is so lovely to meet them.

The very short girl says, "I heard you'll be going to Japan. Let's hang out." She was gorgeous and had a round face and large eyes. Taehyung's eyes were always on her with a soft expression on his face.

A sudden realisation hit you. Blillmey you are meeting the three boys' elusive soulmates that no one knows about. Sarah would flip, but it's a closely guarded secret. Like you and Jhope's secret. Does anyone know? Wow, it seems that Yoongi intended to indirectly introduce you to the Bangtan Bells as both Bighit and the media have called them. The familiar one looked like a Yoongis girl. She looks very stunning, calm, and quiet, but you love their friendliness and want to hang out with them right away.

Funsize ( Yunru) and Twinkies (Ji-ho) are the names they told you to call them. You nod.

Twinkies smiled with the most fantastic lip shape. "Would you like to hang out with us for the rest of the evening? It's still early," she said with a pleading tone. Funsize nodded in your direction. Despite your reluctance, you agreed.

A broad grin form on your face, "You're so nice...but it's hard ditching my friends?".

"Tell Hanbin to inform your friends that you are hanging out with the member of the "tour staff". Yoongi loves your skills. He has only complained once about that shoulder and not so much again." Twinkies smile and gesture you to call.

As soon as you turned the bag and took out your phone, Twinkies glowed. She said, "I love your purse. Chanel and Dior are my favourite designers, and I am a brand ambassador for both. We'll talk more about us as we hang out."

The look on your face was shocking. She is a model, and she looked familiar for a reason. Several weeks ago, you saw her images in Dior stores? Having Jhope as your soulmate will allow you to meet the crème of the crop.

Hanbin was quickly contacted. From across the room, he smiled at you and gave you a thumbs up. He moved to the table where Do-Yun and Naledi sat with a few staff members. They looked at you and gave you a thumbs up. There is no better way to have a good time than in the VIP section.

Standing around the special table with platters, the boys enjoyed themselves. Jin and Jungkook enjoyed the food so much that they made a quick Eatjin segment. It was a pleasure seeing them spend time together. Their synergy is evident, and their love for each other is genuine.

Moments later, a beautiful curly-headed girl entered the VIP section holding a few gift bags. She smiled brightly at you as she walked briskly to where you were seated, talking to the two girls.

"Hey, ladies...and last but not least, you will receive three gift bags compliments of the Hopeworld crew," she said jokingly as she handed the bags to you. Surprised, you say,
"Thanks, but I already have one...it's on the table with my friends."

"It's fine, my dear. Just keep it so you can bless your mom or sister." She grinned. Being fully aware of who you are. Yoongi told them all about your complicated relationship with the stubborn boy.

Although they were ecstatic about the news, they were more concerned about the unbearable pain Hobi put the girl through by not completing the bond after weeks of refusal.

Because Twinkies had experienced the pain and suffering of an inactivated bond, she felt emphatic towards you. Now she understands why Yoongi is so unapologetically interfering with Hobi's life. It's crucial for him to be happy and enjoy the perks of a soulmate like them.

It was clear to see Jin discreetly eyeing the curly-haired beauty, and she bit her lip to avoid overly beaming at him, knowing he had an audience. While Jin was smirking, you noticed a message between them that was not spoken. 

.......

Jhope pov

Hobi was very restless with his soulmate meters away, and her happy face with the boys' soulmates caught his attention. She has been embraced and welcomed fully into their circle of close friends. Instantly, he looks at Yoongi and pulls him to one side.

"I think you told the Hyungs and maknae, didn't you...why...," Hobi asked with a bit of fury in his tone.

"You may deny all you want...but you have deep feelings for her...I know you two hooked up in the elevator today." Yoongi patted his chest in response. "You had the evidence on your collar bones. She gave you love...but this morning, I saw what you left under her ear and jawline. She couldn't hide it. Therefore, spill the beans!" Yoongi still whispered.

He looked shocked and nervous. "Oh gosh!...how did you know? Does all of Bangtan know? "

Yoongi patted his shoulders and said, "Hobi...please admit it. Do yourself a favour. I made it my duty to go to the security office and ask Hangyeol to show me the CCTV footage. The flickering lights made the picture a little blurry. When he told me he just wanted to pour some coffee, I deleted it "accidentally." I apologised, then told him I would rewind, so I pressed the delete button instead. I also deleted the backup. "Hobi looked stunned at the reveal. 

Goodness, what a mess. "Don't look so stunned. I have my hacking ways. Don't judge me. Hangyeol is almost 66. I even said I was checking to see if I dropped my cord in the elevator."

Suddenly, Jhope looked like he would faint and sat down, brushing his hair with his fingers as he leaned backwards.

He looked at Yoongi with gratitude, "Thank you, bro, for always having my back, even if you try to drive me insane with your interference." he said, smirking.

"I can't let people think it's you. My goodness, Hobi...You and Akira were so thirsty for each other. I could feel the passion...You made me yearn for my girl..." Yoongi said softly.

He pressed his lips together to hide his smirk at Yoongis' expression.

Nobody was quite ready to call it a day. They enjoy hanging out together. It has been a hectic year so far. Plans for a Love yourself tour later this year. The artists will perform abroad, have endorsements, and run advertising for their brands. There will be an extended break for the boys.

The animate conversation between the Bells and his soulmate made Jhope smile. She fits in perfectly, and it is impossible for him not to look at her. She is stunning, and he wishes he could be alone with her at that moment to continue what they left off.

What the hell, Hobi, stop it. He berates himself. At that moment, his emotional waves made his soulmate tap into him, and she nervously bit her lips, causing Hobi to fall into the abyss...

"Oh gosh!!!" He jumped up abruptly to get himself a cold drink, fleeing from the allure of his soulmate. His entire body felt hot.

As Yoongi watched the entire scene, he leaned back on the sofa with his fist in his mouth, silently snickering...

Yoongi murmurs, "Oh, goodness! This is going to be epic!".

"What will be epic?" Jin-Hyung asked behind him.

......
Meanwhile...

The two figures were panting heavily from their makeout session. As the guy touched the girl's body, the girl grabbed his hair and kissed him wildly as she sat on the kitchen counter with the guy comfortably in front of her...

Her lips ran feverishly over his neck as she pushed his head back.

He lifted his eyes to the girl, "Oh my ... you so beautiful...can I love you now?" His eyes were filled with desire... only to be crushed when she pushed him back violently. As she slipped from the counter, she pulled her dress down and looked coolly at the guy...who was so ready to take her right then and there.

'Are you crazy, Jungwoon? You have a soulmate. I like you, but we are both bonded...I'm sorry," she said while looking at his disappointed expression and as she looking at him apologetically.  It didn't impress Jungwoon, and he was genuinely upset.

"What the hell, Dove! How can you take a guy halfway to heaven but drag him down to hell at the same time? You are so wicked! What's wrong with this picture?" He looks indignant, and her tricks led him on.

Dove raised her eyebrows mockingly", Jungwoon, it was just a kiss. Get over it. You're not my type."

"What!" Jungwoon's eyes widen.

Dove maliciously turned her red lips, saying, "Look Jungwoon, you are a great guy for your soulmate, but I need your help."

After that, Jungwoon's eyes wanted to pop out, "Why will I be helping you after this...I refuse?" He picked up his jacket from where Dove threw it during their feverish making out.

She grins and then calls Sol. I who is behind the door. Sol. I walked in quickly and looked apologetic at Jungwoon.

Dove smiled triumphantly when she took the little device from So. I  like a smug-looking cat. With his focus on the gorgeous woman, Jungwoon looked mad.

"I know you have a cute Tarnished girlfriend, so here is the deal". She showed him the video footage, and his face looked pale as a ghost as the blood drained from his face.

A sly grin glistened on Dove's face. "If you don't heed my orders. This footage is going straight to your girlfriend...what's her name again...oh, Eunoo. She probably won't take it well if you cheat on her. The images show more than just making out, so you listen up, and you better listen well."

Jungwoon breathed with a painful hitch in his throat. He will lose his girlfriend just for this one minor indiscretion...how could he allow himself to be so tempted...

......
Akira pov

It was almost 10 pm, and you promised yourself that you'd get yourself that enjoyable virgin cocktail drink you craved. Bangtan Boys were with BangPd and the producers.
Right now, your nerves are so thin. You talked to the girls and got to know them, and it was almost an hour and a half in their presence.

"Hey ladies, excuse me, I will grab a cocktail before Hanbin and I head home" You glance at them apologetically.

"Thank you so much,Akira. It was great to meet you. "Twinkies said, excited to hang out with you.

"Let's go on a girl date in Tokyo, and I know some cool coffee shops. Only if the boys are working," Funsize suggested, and all of you agreed.

Samiya grins, "You're so cute, Akira. Let's do that. If I don't have to work in Japan full-time.. I'll come to the bar with...I'm going to try the cocktail too." As you hug and greet the other two girls, you grab your tote bag and chanel purse and follow Samiya out of the VIP area, waving goodbye to the management and the boys who noticed you leaving. Jimin winked at you, and you just smirked. You could feel your soulmate's eyes following you.

While walking beside Samiya, she smiled at you, "So, are you and our junior manager dating?"?

Inhaling softly, you said, "It is up to my soulmate to do what is right. Hanbin is a true gentleman and my friend."

Samiya says, "Well, I think you should hold out a little longer. Maybe your soulmate is facing some issues," and you just nod. Your soulmate is all you have ever wanted. When you were in their presence, your emotions were out of control. 

You were pleasantly surprised to see how popular Samiya was among the staff. With a bright smile, she greeted everyone. Wow, this girl is stunning. That's why the members spent time with them. How much favour can one get? Only a few people were sitting at the bar, and some people were drinking wine and soju. 

The bartender greeted Samiya, and she ordered two virgin cocktails. His eyes were lingering in your direction as he smiled brightly at you. His admiring gaze makes you blush, and Samiya smirks. The only thing she is thankful for is that Hobi was not nearby.

You watched the staff as you waited, turning around with your back to the counter. Your costly designer shirt suddenly felt wet from the front. Your body shook as you inhaled sharply at the cold. You glanced down and saw a stain made of red wine on your chest.  

"Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry, Akira. I must have slipped on the barstool. I'm so sorry." You heard a voice apologising near you. You slowly lift your eyes and  into the widening, innocent eyes of non-other than Dove, who held an empty wine glass in her hand. Despite her apology, there was a malicious glint in her eyes. Your teeth clenched as you narrowed your eyes at her. You're done with this wicked witch.

Samiya turned abruptly and stared at your Versace blouse that was ruined. She could sense your sadness and shock. As soon as Samiya glared at Dove, she apologised constantly.

"Dove, you need to look where you are going! She wasn't near you at all. How could you slip so easily? Their nearest bar stool is 2m away! Tell that flippen lie to someone who cares...come Kira, I know where you can change, luckily you were about to leave..." Seeing that you were about to cry, Samiya coldly looked into Dove's eyes and grabbed your hand, dragging you out of the room. She doesn't like this annoying ex-intern who is always lusting after Hobi.

While outside the room, you inspect the damage to your top and hope dry-cleaning will remove the stain. Your mother will be so upset.You don't even want a cocktail drink.

"I will get the rest of the Hopeworld gift bags to pack away in the office. Akira, wait for me by the elevator at the end of the hallway." Samiya's soft voice echoes through the hallway.

Samiya darts back to the events room as you silently nod.

Leaning against the wall, you wiped your moist eyes. Dove is such a vindictive person, and she watched you when you sat and ate and socialised with girls with pure hatred.

Samiya comes back with almost ten extra tote bags hanging over her arms and a box in her hand. Your eyes widened as you extended your arms to help her with the box, and she smiled in relief.

"Thanks, Hanbin wanted to help me, and I told him I had someone waiting outside for me. So, I'm okay." she smiled as they entered the elevator with you. You see the tote bags in a box, but there is a black bag inside.

"Erm...Samiya...there's a black waist bag in here with the tote bags. I hope you noticed it." She looked at the bag with wide eyes and shrugged," Oh my...it might be one of the Bangtans or the producers. I don't have time to ask everyone. I'll just tell one of the boys where to find it."

Shrugging, you felt uncomfortable by the cold wetness on your chest, and you were already exhausted by the excitement of the day. No wonder you feel so high after spending 5 hours in your soul mate's company.

You wonder why Samiya brought you to the fourth floor. After working all day, the boys locked up the offices.

Your eyes widen as you exit the elevator when you see her walking past the other studios toward Hopeworld. As you reluctantly stopped, your heart began to beat faster. You don't want to enter your soulmates domain after that dreaded activation.

Samiya looks at you inquiringly when she notices you are not following her.

Your nervous demeanour puzzled her. "And now?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. Despite knowing why you're frightened, she does not show it. 

"Don't be afraid Hobi won't mind. I'll just place it in his studio. He probably wants to give gifts to his cousins and sister or some of Bangtans' friends." She smiled at you, making you feel at ease. A sigh of relief escapes you. He doesn't even know you with Samiya.

She entered the code for his studio door and entered. You calmed your nerves and followed her in.

The bags were placed on his plush leather couch. Two pillows were stacked on top of each other for occasions when he wished to nap. The box was placed near the sofa, and Samiya took out the black waist bag and placed it on the couch to be found easily by whomever it belonged to. 

Samiya smiled triumphantly when she found one tote bag containing a small hoodie. She handheld it out for you.

"Since the other staff is not allowed on the floor, I need to get the other bags. I'll see you now -now." She turned back and walked out of the room. 

You had the rare opportunity to look around. You saw lots of plushies on a corner table, which might be Army gifts. It seems like there are many pictures of Bangtan, and he has expensive equipment in his studio. You will keep away from everything. 

Take the hoodie and place it on the side of the table so you can get out of the wet top. Then you look at the damage. Sighing, you notice that even your victoria secret bra is stained red. That's just great!

Suddenly, the door opened. You didn't even hear the beep as the door unlocked. A shock inhalation of breath causes you to turn abruptly, thinking it is Samiya, but to your dismay, your soulmate was standing at the door. His jaws were almost touching the ground, and his eyes fixed on your upper torso. Both of you were so stunned that you froze on the spot. It was a front-row seat to the most spectacular view of your famous 34D. His gaze could not turn away from your hourglass waist upwards. 

Once you regained your senses, you grabbed the stained top with a shriek and wrapped your upper section in a squirm, which did the trick as you quickly turn your back on your soulmate . The thought of showing your soulmate the best view of your body left you in the grip of utter embarrassment. You closed your eyes, whimpering, picturing his view of your body.

He turned abruptly around and apologised, 'Oh my !.. I'm so sorry, Akira... Samiya told me my waist bag was in my studio...I'll...go.' With a last fleeting glance at your  back, he ran back to the hallway, closing the door with a bang.

He will kill that little schemer. She never mentioned you were up here in the office. He couldn't unsee what he witnessed just now and hopes that this would not be used against him by FATE. My goodness. He needed a freezing shower, preferably one with snow replacing the water.

With pursed his lips, he left with giant strides to confront Jin's soulmate.

Meanwhile, your heart was beating rapidly as you hurled the "Hope world" hoodie over your head with trembling hands. Grabbing your top, you rushed out of the studio for Hanbin to take you home. Your face was red because you saw your soulmate's eyes dilating at the sight of you...When will this embarrassment end? This is FATE's time to shine.
