Beyond that boundary line over there

Let's feel it

Bangtan landed at the magnificent Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Tokyo, which occupies the top nine levels of the Nihonbashi Mitsui Tower and is one of Tokyo's five-star hotels. The entire Bighit crew will stay in rooms on the 34-36th floors of the hotel. The party arrived after 6 pm because overzealous reporters and media sources wanted photos of them. The soulmates were driven to their hotel rooms in vans, and they were already settled and chatting in the lounge area.

When you arrived, you looked around but couldn't spot Do- Yun and Hanbin in the Lobby area. Funsize and Twinkie were sitting on the sofas, deeply satisfied, sending text messages to their friends and loved ones.

The expressions on their faces convinced you they were talking to their soulmates. Suddenly, a great yearning came into your heart to experience the same inner delight as you do when you are with the one you love. The kiss you and your soulmate shared exposed your secret feelings for each other. A deep want to be with each other, but you cannot express your feeling until your bond is complete. You want to see his soul mark, which matches yours and what you were supposed to mean to him.

How will you conceal your affections for him if he is in your presence?

You pray that Do-Yun and Eric will step in and help the boys if anything goes wrong.

You were already exhausted, and drained and stiff around your joints, which you hope isn't the symptom of an incomplete bond. FATE is not kind to those who have had their bonds delayed or denied, and you hope Jhope dares to do it.

Ms Cheong and three female stylists from the private Boeing were at the reservation desk. You have a nagging feeling in your spirit. Why didn't Ms Cheong place you, yet you're sure you'll be with a makeup artist or a stylist -unnie? You haven't met them officially, but you've seen them around the agency from time to time.

"Kira come to relax, and you look tense..." Funsize motions for you to take a seat near her. She was texting Taehyung while on the phone.

"Er... OK," You took a seat, unsure of what to say. You put your luggage next to Funsize's and Twinkie's.

"This is a fantastic hotel. I'm in Tokyo for the fourth time, but I've never stayed at this hotel. I once came to an award and performance show with BlackPink, and it was a thrilling experience." Twinkies gushed out as she looked around. Soothing lighting was used to create a soft ambient and a luxurious atmosphere in the seating area.

You can't appreciate the hotel's magnificence. Your nerves are thinly strung. You're not sure why you're so worried. Why were you placed with the boys, to begin with? Management could have put you on the earlier flight with the medics and Hanbin.

You feel a little apprehensive inside because you are getting closer to uncovering your past. You hope the orphanage's caregiver is still there, and you need answers.

As much as you appreciate the guys' three soulmates, being constantly surrounded by Jhope will be nerve-racking. You promised yourself that after you disembark from the plane, you would try to avoid Jhope, mainly to give him time to complete the bond. 

You took a deep breath as you opened your phone and texted Hanbin. Fortunately, he is online. You wondered if he had already secured his room.

You: Hey, we've arrived.

Hanbin: Oh, that's great...are you in the lobby? I'm at the television station with two managers to finalize some requirements for the group's performances. Kenichi and the nine dancers are at the studios with Sungdeuk to rehearse because the stages are small, the production team has been working since 3 pm.

You: Alright, OK. You've been quite busy. We're now waiting for Bangtan in the lobby, and they're probably on their way out of the airport.

Hanbin: Did you have a good time on the flight with the management and BTS - friends? Those girls are highly fortunate to be so close to the boys, and they seem to like you a lot. They never let anyone into their close-knit group. Those girls frequently move in groups. They are so well-loved that senior management has permitted them to stay on the same floor as the Boys.

You smirk, wondering if Hanbin is genuinely unaware of the guys' soulmate status. He's so close to Sejin, and doesn't he wonder why only those girls are close to the boys? Not even the lovely Dove and Sol0 make the cut. Maybe Hanbin knows something you don't and won't reveal it to you just yet. The boys were so relaxed around you that they unknowingly showed their relationship status. Perhaps because of you and Hobi.

You: OK, it was an exciting experience... Ms Cheong finalized my contract, and I must say Bighit provided me with a significant pay package. She even stated that I have a day every week off, Handin!!! Isn't it cool? This is a first for me. I had to work even on weekends in London. The band is friendly. Yoongi's shoulder, thankfully, did not cause him any trouble.

Perhaps it was a ploy to bring you and Hobi together.

Hanbin: Akira, I missed your presence. Why didn't you send me a text? WI-FI was available on the charter, and we have a reservation on the 34th floor. I'm sharing this with  Jugwoon, our new video editor. Afonso and Kenichi are paired up, and they are overjoyed.

You sigh, unable to reveal the secret you hid for nearly an hour that you have spent in your soulmate's strong arms. You couldn't take your eyes off him, and you couldn't stop thinking about how amazing he smelled. As you reminisced about the small make-out session, your heart began to beat erratically. How are you going to tell Hanbin about your soulmate status? He is pretty excited to start dating you. How can you bear to hurt him because you are smitten with your soulmate?

You: Uh...I wanted to be with you guys on the same flight, but Cheong-Unnie needed to finalize my contract first. She sent it to Bang by email. I slept for an hour, and I'm still a little weary. And...Do-Yun? She is currently offline.

Hanbin: Do- Yun was disappointed that she had been assigned with one of the makeup noonas, The short one with the blond hair coloured. Euna-Noona, on the other hand, is a charming lady. Do-Yun will be worried since our Noona is known as the "Trumpet" because she snores loudly.

You: Oh my gosh!!!...we wanted to share a room. Poor  Do-Yun is a pity.

Hanbin: Perhaps you'll share a room with one of the female bodyguards or with Ms Cheong.  

You: Oh my Goodness!!! Hanbin, she unnerves me.

Hanbin sends you a couple of emojis that make you laugh out loud. You just sighed when you realized you would be stuck with a female bodyguard or Ms Cheong... one of the older stylists who can only communicate in Korean. You hope that at least some of them can converse in Japanese.

Oh, you'd better hope not.

Hanbin: Don't be like that. She is a very kind lady. She likes you.

Cheong- Unnie is a little frightening. She is pretty precise and professional. You are not a social or conversationalist. You're mostly silent. That is why your parents always reserve a room with the twins that are interconnected. Where you can get the master. You're on your own. You will be extremely nervous when you share your feelings with someone. You hoped that your hotel room would have a view of Tokyo bay.

Just then, the large glass doors of the hotel floor opened, and all of the bodyguards entered, with the bantering boys in the middle. The staff's eyes widened and glowed with excitement. You sighed heavily as you noticed Sejin signalling the boys to relax in the lounge. You and the girls were situated against the wall, and there were plenty of chairs and sofas for the boys in the lounge area. They made a quick bow to the staff before settling onto the nearest seats. Taehyung and Yoongi were approaching you, but you were preoccupied with your text messages. You had to say goodbye to Hanbin while conversing with Kenichi and Keitaro. You also informed your parents about your flight and the hotel.

Taehyung and Yoongi shared subtle smiles with their soulmates and sat closer to them to converse. Jungkook and Jimin decided to come in and disrupt your peace. You enjoy the two makneas, but Jimin's flirting is too much for you, and he appeared to be deliberately trying to aggravate Hobi. When Jimin is around, you can constantly feel his emotions shifting. You sigh and roll your eyes inwardly.

"Hello, pretty lassie...looking dashing today," Jimin said as he took a seat next to you and Jungkook on the other side of you. They tend to interact with you in Japanese because your Korean is still growing. But you give it a shot now and then.

"Hey, boys, what's got you all so joyful, Jimin?" His gleaming eyes amuse you. This young man is both sexy and adorable. Jungkook snorts. Jimin recently told him that Akira despises the fact that he bothers her so much. He is a whirlwind of energy, similar to Jhope. His hyung, on the other hand, is in a strange mood these days. Now the saseang has reappeared to stress him out.

"He adores Japan, and he has an entire fan club here. Don't worry about him, and he is ecstatic when he is on the move." Jungkook stated dryly.

"I'm thrilled because I won't have to listen to Jin-Hyung's jokes anymore. Akira, do you want to hear some of it." Jimin furrowed his brow.

"No thanks...perhaps when I'm on my deathbed." You make a snort. The two youngsters erupted in laughter, and they couldn't wait to hear Jin's voice jokes in front of you.

You grin at Jungkook's huge doe eyes as he claps his hands. They're adorable. Sarah, Margie, and Angela would have died thousand times over. How did you wind up being friends with these walking choas? Offstage, these boys are so genuine, yet on stage, a new persona takes over. Offstage, you'll find them constantly bickering, bantering, and being goofy.

Sejin entered the lounge area and approached the guys, clutching a few of the hotel room keycards.

Yoongi and the maknaes stood up, winked at their soulmates, and proceeded to where Sejin and a few bodyguards were standing, gazing around. Funsize and Twinkie hastily gathered their belongings, and Ms Cheong requested that you place them alongside theirs.

They were on high alert, particularly hotel security. You looked around and wondered why there was extra security. The reservation area was closed off to accommodate all of the Bighit personnel' bookings. You just shook your head because the boys had to beef up their security because of fame.  There are far too many enthusiastic supporters surrounding them. When you arrived this afternoon, the J-armies were swarming the airport. You thank God for allowing you to pursue a simple career free of public attention. Still, with a soulmate like Jhope, you know it will be challenging, especially if you're blue/red-gold.

You could feel the irritation in your soulmate's emotions from where you and the girls sat. Why is he suddenly agitated? You furrowed your brows. Sejin gave each guy a keycard,  Ms Cheong and Sade (female bodyguards standing nearby the boys). Taehyung and Yoongi smirk at each other, knowing they've been paired with their soulmates. Their bonds will be energized for this week's activities in Tokyo. They can't wait to spend quality time with their girls.

The senior Hyungs receive theirs. Yoongi locked eyes briefly with Sejin and hid a sneaky smirk, making sure no one noticed their brief exchange. Sejin knows how to keep a straight face, but dealing with Hobi will be challenging.

As he looks at Jhope, Sejin clears his throat "'Hobi...er, may I speak with you quickly...concerning  the incident?'

Everyone was staring at the two with wide eyes. Is it because of the saseang?

Jhope furrows his brows at Sejin. "Is everything all OK, Huh? The saseang isn't here, is she?" Hobi's face turned pale, and his eyes were bulging as he frantically looked around. He doesn't notice anything unusual because bodyguards and hotel security surround the lobby.

Sejin cracks a small smile. "let's chat immediately. Taehyung,  I'll give you an update later. "He slung an arm around Jhope's shoulders. Taehyung simply nods, wanting to be close to his soulmate.

Sejin and Hobi walked away from the boys, out of the eye and ear shots. He hopes Jhope does not shriek too loudly. The boys were busy gathering their belongings while some bodyguards signalled to the porters to place their belongings on the correct trolleys. They're going to take the other elevators. 2-3 Bangtan boys will be escorted up to their suites by a few bodyguards. Sejin and Hobeom share a Delux suite with some of the other boys in the same hallway.

When they looked in the direction of Jhope, they saw how dumbfounded Hobi was, standing frozen in one spot. His eyes were as big as saucers, and his jaws were almost on the ground. What Sejin had just told him had rendered him speechless. His mouth moved, but no sound could escape. Hobi shook his head as if he had misheard.

Hobi quickly recovered charge of his speech. "What! Please, Sejin...you can't do this to me...please...please, I beg you?" He was frantically shaking Sejins' arm.

Sejin whispered gently as he stared into the boy's horrified eyes. "It's a benefit for you, Hobi...you don't want to be alone in a hotel room, remember? Bang gave you one of the Presidential suites as a gift for the two of you, sort of like a mini-honeymoon." Sejin tried hard not to snicker too loudly since he knew it would irritate Hobi. This bright sunshine has the potential to transform into a raging storm. Bang has an uncanny sense of humour.

He knew Hobi would refuse to be with his soulmate, and he's struggling to understand Hobi's logic these days. Finding your soulmate is a beautiful blessing. Look at Ms Cheong, a stunning 30-something-year-old woman who has yet to meet hers. Akira is a very down-to-earth and friendly, beautiful girl who is a valuable asset to Bighit. The group knows that if Yoongi likes someone, he will battle for their cause.

Yoongi adores Hobi and wishes to see him happy with the lovely British girl. All senior management was instructed to keep it a secret until the bond was complete. Ms Cheong wanted Akira to share with her to be close to Hobi, but Bang refused to separate any soulmates.Akira and Hobi need one another. He doesn't want them to sneak around, but they can snoop around their suite instead.

Hobi's eyes are a little bewildered. "What???? What the flipping hell, Sejin!!!? No! No way! No, no, no, no, no, no, no It will make life more complicated ...change it, I don't want to share a room with a girl. Simply assign the suite to Yoongi or Taehyung.' Hobi felt his heart palpitations just thinking about Akira.

Sejin sighs deeply. "Jhope, it's Bang's orders...you know the procedure. Soulmates must be paired. I don't have the last say...remember, you promised Bang the entire ritual video today. You have a corner room that is quite private and has one of the finest views of the bay. Nobody will bother you while you complete the bond."

Hobi appears panicked as if he is about to puke on those plush carpets, his hands trembling as he wipes his exhausted eyes, and a look of absolute betrayal at Sejin "Why are you doing this to me...why? Sejin, we haven't yet bonded. It'll be awkward and uncomfortable...please pair me up with Joonie..."

How can he share a space with Akira for a week? He'll disclose his feelings for her. How will he deal with the temptations? He couldn't stop himself from embracing her so passionately on the plane. His body craves her, and he can't be near her in that situation. He is sure she knows his feelings; it would be unfair to give in and discover they are yellow strung. Even though he knows he needs her, having a saseang around makes him nervous.

Sejin's grin: "This week, Joonie does not want to share with anyone. For peace, he requested a small bedroom. Remember that he shared with Jimin, who already is a hand full in three countries. He desired some alone time to read, write, and reflect."

"Oh my gosh, Sejin...this is ridiculous." Hobi moaned. Sejin simply shrugged and returned to the bantering group, a faint smirk on the corners of his mouth that Jhope thankfully didn't detect. Yoongi and Jimin were discreetly chuckling as they saw Hobi follow Sejin with a pleading tone, much like a baby following his mother or a mother duck and her ducklings.

Jin and Namjoon were baffled by Jhope's attempt to persuade Sejin of something. They cast suspicious glances at Yoongi and Jimin, who were in stitches. Their hands were clenched to their mouths, trying to keep their laughter from escaping.

Namjoon scowls." What's the deal with that? Why is Hobi bothering Sejin in such a way? Does he not like his room, or is it because he is upset about the saseang in Tokyo?"

Yoongi smiled, drew Namjoon and Jin aside, and informed them of the newest developments. He can't bear the thought of Taekook hearing that, and they want to keep it a secret from their little maknae.

"Oh my goodness...that is pure gold!!!" Jin chuckled quite loudly...

"He looks as if he could catch snakes...poor Akira," Namjoon said, looking at where Jhope had dropped down with a defeated expression." It's not her fault he mustn't be rude to her now...management made the decisions."

Yoongi smirked, "If this doesn't work, we're toast." 

They must complete the bond as soon as possible. That phobia must be broken and conquered, and he requires a boost in the right direction.

"We're in for a fascinating stay in Tokyo," Jin chuckles. "Hobi is so terrified of soul-bonding that it's amusing."

Hobi sat there, his lips pursed, looking agitated. He narrowed his gaze at the person he believes is to blame for this whole mess, Yoongi! Yoongi and Sejin, he believes, plotted with their CEO-father.

Yoongi looked at him with innocent eyes and made a motion with his hand, "What!?"

Jhope simply shook his head as he watched his soulmate converse with Cheong and the other soulmates. She appeared nervous as she locked her gaze with his cold gaze.

What did you do? Are you confused? With a worried tone, you thought. Jhopes' emotions are all over the place, and the emotional overload is causing you to feel dizzy.

Jhope was only sitting there, upset, with his fists on his luggage, as Sejin finalized the bodyguards' room placement. As Jhope peered at them with narrowed eyes, the hyungs and Jimin were filled with mirth and snickering. Sejin stated that he would accompany him in one elevator.

The boys were assigned to their respective bodyguards. Namjoon approached Hobi as they were about to leave and comforted him by patting him on the shoulder.

"Hang in there, bud. It might work out for the best."He smiled dimpled at Hobi, and Hobi just pouts and nods dejectedly. It's easy for them to say.

Namjoon smiled and followed Jin to the elevator hallways. Taehyung and Yoongi were in an elevator with Sade, a female bodyguard, and an older makeup noona.

Sejin motioned for Hobi to come over to him as he spoke with Ms Cheong, who had informed you about your rooming arrangement. When you heard that, you sat back down on the sofa with a visibly shocked expression, and Hobi merely shook his head. This is messed up.

Akira bit her fingernails as she stared up at Hobi's expressionless face. He appeared furious on the inside.

Ms Cheong looked down at you and said, "I'm sorry guys...but it's Bang's orders."

Sejin agreed with a nod. "That might seem strange at first, but just wait and see. You might be surprised at how well you get along after the yellow or red-gold bond., and you'll end up being best friends."

Hobi only nods, as though he lacks the strength to fight the inevitable. Akira appear to be a bundle of nerves. You are aware of the strength you both will require to resist the allure of FATE.

Ms Cheong comforted you by hugging your shoulders as you stood up slowly. 

You're in the urge to cry. It will be awkward to be alone with the superstar. You were desperate to avoid his pathway for the two blissful days spent on dates with Hanbin and Do-Yun. Now, look at this!!!

You followed the managers to the elevators a little grudgingly. The elevator hallways are immaculate and gleaming. You and your soulmate briefly locked eyes inside the elevator while Sejin and Cheong-unnie discussed some issues. The air is dense around you and your soulmate, and you can see him gulp as you both look into each other's eyes with undefined emotion. You were thinking back on what transpired inside the agency's elevator on Friday. Your breath became constricted. You knew that today would be the most challenging day for you.

Taehyung and Funsize

Jimin and Jungkook

Yoongi and Twinkie

Namjoon

Jin and Samiya -suite on the 36th floor

You've made it to the 35th floor. You breathe deeply and quietly follow the two managers on dealing with your "hot" soulmate. He walked through the illumined hallway, and his forehead furrowed deeply. You noticed six mahogany brown doors, three on each side. The names of the suites are engraved on gold plates. Three Executive King Suites (Yoongi, Namjoon, and Taehyung) with their lounges, two Delux rooms with double beds (Sejin and Hobeom as well as Jungkook and Jimin), one Single Delux (Cheong-Unnie and Sade), and the Presidential Delux for the two of you. Your suite is located at the end of the hall.

Sejin turned around and showed you the direction of your door. Ms Cheong greeted you both and motioned you to her door. Sade has already arrived. Because of the large rooms, the doors are a few meters apart.

The boys are all inside, getting ready for dinner at the hotel's exclusive restaurant. Management arranged for you to have a secluded section—all soulmates, plus two waiters.

You hesitantly follow Jhope as he opens the door and urges you to enter first. You enter with a quiet thank you. You were both frozen in the hotel room hallway, staring at the exquisite suite with wide eyes. Everything was magnificent, from the décor to the lounge's layout.

Plush sofas with luscious pillows, dark wood walls, and intriguing lighting features. When you only notice one door in a small hallway, you exchange wide-eyed glances.

"Oh, blimey!"You whispered as you realized something. There is only one bedroom provided.

Jhope had a look around the room and noticed your luggage near the couches.

"What the heck!" he exclaimed as he walked into the bedroom.

You sat defeated on one of the plush couches. This is simply...inappropriate!

Hobi frantically calls Sejin, " Sejin, why is there only one bedroom with a queen-size bed!!"

Sejin picked up the phone after hearing a loud shriek in his ears. Why is Hobi being so difficult?

"Yes, Mr Jung," he replied with a chuckle as he signed. signal Hobeom that Hobi has just gotten excellent news

"Sejin!!! You guys are evil!" He continues to yell.

"Sorry, Hobi, we assumed it was interconnected—" he grinned at the other side while still attempting to explain the situation to Hobi. Hobi was taking deep breaths in order not to lose his temper in front of Sejin. Sejin sensed immediately that he was on the "don't talk to me" list. He told BangPD, but he did not badge. He feels terrible for the soulmates, but Hobi must overcome his phobia. His polite and serene soulmate is well-liked by all management, and she is the perfect balance to his exuberant temperament —two opposites who fit so well together.

While Hobi was on the phone with Sejin, you rolled your luggage into the bedroom. Good luck with that! You were drawn in by the elegance of the room, which was fit for a honeymoon couple, but your complicated relationship didn't go that far. Perhaps it will never reach that point after the bonding.

You roamed around the room, caressing the cushions, and on the dresser table was a booklet listing all of the suite's features and perks. You have access to a pillow menu from which you can order more pillows of your choice. You adore feather-filled pillows, and you will undoubtedly order from that menu. You sit on the bed, and it's so firm that you nearly wish you were back at home in your bed in Kensington. You have a look at Rivolta Carmignani's exquisite Goose down bedding and luxury linens. Wow, your mother always buys these linens online. Your suite will be cleaned twice daily by the housekeeping service, who will also provide complimentary water and restock the snack and drinks bar. There is a spacious desk with an in-house phone.

Hobi and Your suite- 35th floor 

Your view is breathtaking. You opened a door and peered into the bathroom. There was a walk-in shower and a separate bathtub, as well as opulent bathroom amenities—bathrobes in plush terry for him and her. Heated floors and towel racks are available. Wow. You want to take a long bath with all of the soaps and bath salts you have at your disposal. It smelled fantastic. In the bathroom, there was even a television—what an excellent way to unwind.

The room offers Wi-Fi with a very high register that can connect up to six devices. During the night, you can view your movies on your iPad or laptop. There was also a 60-inch high-definition LCD television. BOSE® high-quality audio systemIn-room interactive entertainment system that supportsMP3 or iPod? This room is too lovely to give up.

You stood at the large open windows, gazing out at the breathtaking view of Tokyo Bay and the high-rise buildings surrounding you. You sensed the presence of your soulmate standing in the doorway, staring around the room in awe. You turned around.

When your eyes met, Jhope inhaled hard and whispered, strained, "I'm very sorry Akira...BangPD wants us together.  I...I simply don't know how we're going to pull it off...you saw what FATE did to us twice." He appears uneasy.

You shook your hair out of your face and cupped your hands around your face, peering at him with uncertainty. "It's OK, Jhope...I know we arranged to meet on Wednesday to complete the bond...but I honestly assumed we'd be booked separately...only there's one bed...you need your sleep more than I do. You must be well rested for tomorrow's performances. So...I advise you to take the bed."

Jhope's eyes widen as he witnesses your selflessness. "Akira...That's something I'll never do. I'm going to sleep on the couch in the lounge. You are free to use the bedroom. I'll just unpack after you're through. Namjoon has just texted me. We need to be ready for our dinner reservation at 7:30 pm. All of the girls will be with us, so you'll be surrounded by those two.No, fear."

You simply thank him politely. "Thank you, Jhope...will you be OK on the sofas'is it long enough?" you feel horrible that he will have to be so uncomfortable.

He simply nodded, "I'll be OK. You can freshen up first, and I'll just take a shower after you. We don't have much time." 

"OK, I'll pack after dinner."He nodded, turned around, and softly closed the door.

You flash a bright smile and dash to your luggage, pulling out a lovely silk lace blouse and a short black leather mid-thigh mini skirt to go with your black Jimmy Choo pumps.

You hurried into the shower, using all of the fragrant gels and body wash. You made sure to hide your hair, and you didn't have time to blow dry your hair.

You swiftly dress and apply your makeup in a natural look. Your mom always told you to wear makeup simply to accentuate your most prominent features and not disguise them with overdone makeup. You put on one of your floral perfumes and do a cute updo with your hair. You complete your look with a pair of long golden earrings—Byron's birthday present. You mentally tell yourself to call them when you think about him.

You took out your little black Chanel clutch and headed out to give Jhope a chance to freshen up. When you walked into the lounge, Jhope was on his phone, stretched out on one of the couches. When he lifted his head, you noticed his eyes widen and openly check you out, from the crown of your head to the little pointy soles of your feet, with open admiration. You flush as the sensation of attraction strikes you full in the face.

Your soulmate was having breathing difficulties, and your effect on him was unexpected. He jumped up and darted inside the room when he couldn't stand the pure feminine beauty and your well-toned legs any longer.

You try to keep a smile on your face as you realize your poor soulmate doesn't know how to deal with your hot side.

You were on the couch, texting on the soulmates chat group, and Samiya was also online.

You: It's not funny, guys...why do I get the impression you were aware of the shock treatment?

Twinkie. lol

Funsize: We honestly didn't know...Taelove doesn't know either.

Samiya: Just relax in the suite, girl...you've got the man of your dreams right at your fingertips. Make the most of every opportunity to make him want you.

You: Samiya... we haven't completed the bond yet.

Funsize: Hit him over the head with it and complete it for him.

You: I'm going to get arrested. How can I relax with a guy who is too nervous about performing a simple ritual but still wants me physically? Jeez

Samiya: I wish I could have been there to watch all of the drama. So, if I were you make him crazy by being extremely seductive and showing him what he's missing by stalling and denying the bond.

You: I'm not exactly sexy. Guys, I've never dated anyone in my life, and it always takes a long time for me to recognize a guy's interest in me. Your sunshine is in another realm. He has a germaphobic personality, and he was still too afraid to touch what he desired.

Funsize: Don't be worried. We are your go-to people, and we are the Bangtan Bells, and we stand together. Even if you wind up as yellow stringed best friends, you'll still be a part of our clique. Both of you can register as Tarnished, and you'll be able to fall in love with one other naturally... I'm not sure because I don't like going to these classes.

Twinkie: No, even if they get Tarnished, they will always have a sibling type of love. They may get another chance with someone else. This soulmate thing is quite complicated, and there are many things we may not even be aware of. She and Hobi had strong chemistry, and it's a red-gold combination.

Samiya: Don't worry, Akira, just enjoy your two days of freedom, and by Wednesday, you'll be good. It's the fascinating ritual I've ever witnessed, and it's almost magical to be a part of something like that.

A knock came on the door.

 You:  Someone is standing at the door. Toodles.

Hobi emerged in semi-formal just as you were ready to jump up. Your breathing has become uneven. Whoa, he looks terrific. As your gaze followed him to the door, he smirked. Ms Cheong was the first to collect all of the soulmate girls.

You grasped your clutch and nodded to Hobi as you followed Ms Cheong out. She was looking at you with a pleased grin. In your six-inch pumps, you look elegant and even tall. Doors opened on your path as the girls kissed their soulmates and joined you. Jimin and Jungkook were also able to see the sight. Jimin was whistling loudly as Jungkook smirked and waved at you.

The Bighit staff had reserved the entire private restaurant. On the other hand, you and the girls were escorted to an upstairs location allocated just for you and Bangtan. You were completely out of your element. The special treatment and awe you've received have been unparalleled.

The ladies were taken aback by the view. Your place was close to a large panoramic window view. Ms Cheong allowed the girls to sit with her and Sade. 

A few minutes later, the laughing guys entered, accompanied by Sejin and Hobeom. The dancers and Hanbin will be downstairs near the buffet, along with some of the production team. You have an a la carte menu from which to select.

As you turned back and looked through the window, your stomach was full of Butterflies. The view is breathtaking. You took a quick selca with the girls and your surroundings.

When the guys walk in, the two girls squeal with delight when they see their mates, who have decided to take the table next to them.

You and Jhope were sitting three meters apart and checked each other out discretely. You exhale a sigh of relief. At the very least, you'll be able to relax and get to eat something.

You had a lot of fun at supper with the other girls and the older unnies. They mentioned that this was the second hotel on the list. The first was compromised when they discovered that the fans had booked into the same hotel as the boys, so they changed the reservations overnight to avoid saseang sightings. They don't want Hobi and Taehyung to experience trauma again, and Hobi needed three years to recover from the trauma.

The boys were relentlessly teasing Jhope, but he only scrunched up his nose and rolled his eyes while Yoongi made sure he sat far away from Hobi's wrath. Better to be safe than sorry. Yoongi sat in the same row as Taehyung, Jimin, and Jungkook. Jin, Namjoon, Sejin, and Hobeom sit at the same table.

The food was delicious. Little potions, but they're tasty. You could order up to six designer main course dishes and take two appetizers and desserts. You simply order a salad, a fish dish, and caviar with rice, as well as a chocolate mousse dessert. You were stuffed.

You exited the restaurant via a private entrance to your elevators. Jin's suite was just down the hall, up a bit of secret hidden door. It was after 9 pm, and you were feeling a little sleepy.

Fortunately, Ms Cheong brought the girls back to their suites. She will be in charge of you for the week. Two Bighit bodyguards were stationed near the elevators, ensuring the boys and their soulmates' safety and security, especially for Hobi and Taehyung, who have a bloodthirsty saseang on their tail.

You immediately remove all makeup off your face and wait for Jhope to arrive and get himself ready for the night. You were brushing your hair in front of the television, and for the first time, you were enjoying a Japanese news programme. A BTS segment was scheduled to perform the following day at a television variety show with two live performances. They'll be singing a song from their WINGS album and one of their new songs from the previous year.

Jhope returned, and he appeared relaxed when he saw you seated and laughing at a comedy show following the news. You look at Jhope, who is taken aback by your cheerful expression, and it almost makes him feel "elated."

"Oh, Jhope...you can change first, and I'll make you a comfy bed here. If that's OK with you, "You cast a curious glance at him.

"It's fine...thanks,Akira," he said as he walked into the main bedroom to change. You make him a bed out of extra blankets and pillows on a sofa, and you're hoping he'll be comfortable enough. He was unpacking his stuff in one of the walk-in closets.

He was dressed casually in pyjama pants and a t-shirt. When he entered the room, you couldn't help but notice his great chest area and muscled arms; your soulmate is ripped, and you realize how whipped you are for him. You hastily greeted him and dashed into your room. Behind your closed door, you're exhaling heavily.

You swiftly change into your white silk shorty pj's and climb into bed, turning off the lights and placing the soft duvet covers over your body, cuddled into a slumber with delight.

....meanwhile-

After much tossing and turning, Jhope could not sleep through the night, and he was unsettled. But around midnight, he jumped up, still unable to sleep.

He walks sluggishly into the main bedroom. FATE be damned...Sungdeuk will slaughter him if he doesn't deliver to his full potential tomorrow.

He noticed Akira virtually taking up the entire bed...he simply shook his head and moved her slightly to her side of the bed...her eyes popped up as she sat up, shocked.

"Jhope!!! What the hell- "You stare with wide eyes at a nonchalant soulmate as he makes himself at home under the duvet. He doesn't appear to be bothered.

"Let's just sleep Akira..." he whispered sleepily, cuddling deeply under the covers, unconcerned at your shocked and confused expression.

A/N... The soulmates were given the shock of their lives, and they will be sharing a space.
