Both pov's

You and your sweetheart were snuggled up in each other's arms, staring into each other's eyes with affection. You were amazed by each other and overwhelmed with thankfulness. You've been favoured by fate.

As you gazed out the window at the scenery, you were beaming at the lovely shops and buildings from ear to ear. Being in the presence of a world-famous celebrity and sharing an ordinary moment with him was surreal.

"I can't believe you've brought us to Malta, a far-flung island country in the Mediterranean. You're such a romantic," As you exhale, you grin. Jhope drew you closer to him in his arms, savouring the presence of his lovely soulmate.

Jhope quietly chuckles as his hand tenderly strokes your cheek, "Well, sweetheart, I had to think on my feet.  I couldn't sit and wait for a miracle because I was terrified of losing you. Namjoon had no choice but to step in and help. I loved the idea of St. Julian in Malta, which he recommended. A strategy to get you away from it all. I wanted us to get to know each other without my brothers interfering. I'm so glad we could form a successful bonding," he grins down at your amused expression.

"Well...I'm a sucker for a good surprise. "You glance concerned up to his goofy smile,"  we need to inform our parents that we are "missing in action." —-Are we going to tell our parents and family, Hobs?—You are aware that I have two ARMY twin brothers?" You're a little nervous about telling your siblings that you've found your soulmate. Kenichi will be shocked to learn that his idol will be his brother-in-law. You won't inform the twins too soon to preserve his sanity.

Jhope gave you a sweet kiss on the cheek with a grin. "Unfortunately, we must inform our parents. They, as well as my agency, need to know. BangPD is awaiting our arrival with great anticipation. Mine will be stunned because they know my feelings regarding the system and relationships. My sister Jiwoo will be a pain in the butt, I'm telling you now. She will not leave you. As a result, prepare yourself for plenty of shopping trips, luncheons, and brunches. She had always desired a sister sibling but instead got me. Since you entered the picture, I believe our sibling dates will end." When you lifted your eyes in astonishment, he chuckled. Wow! You forgot to add that Jhope has a sister who is a social influencer.

"Oh, blimey! I'm only going to inform my parents and not my brothers. They'll easily expose us... Hobs, will...will your parents approve of me? "You nervously chewed your lower lip. You've always been concerned about what others think of you, but now you have a lineage—one to be cautious of. It would be best if you told him everything that has happened in your life.

"Don't be afraid, sweetheart. They would be so ecstatic to meet you. You'll meet the Jungs and Jiwoo's soulmate, Jordon, after returning from our trip. They are incredibly nice and down to earth. We'll spend the weekend at my family's estate...perhaps we'll be able to bring your parents along before they leave." He attempted to ease your nerves.

"Y...Will you let me meet your family so soon?" your eyes widen."Are you sure, baby?"

"Of course, they can meet yours before they fly for the UK," Hobi said, laughing. "I'd like to meet the people that helped you grow into the lady you are now—my life's passion. —- the girl I'm yearning to call my own---very soon," As your cheeks began to flush, he drew you closer. With great joy, you snake your arms around his waist and place your head on his chest as you both fall into content silence. 

Your driver arrived at your destination in less than 15 minutes. St Julian will be your home away from home.

Your soulmate intends to keep everything a secret from you. You agreed because he had already revealed your location. Your eyes widen in Jhopes' laughing eyes as your car approaches a beautiful penthouse white apartment block.

Your driver entered the safe underground parking. He already had the key codes from Jhope, and all he had to do now was swipe them at the security gate.

As two porters raced up to you and grabbed your luggage from the boot, you walked hand-in-hand. You've both put your sunglasses on.

You and Hobi stood silently wrapped in each other's arms, silently smiling at each other in the second elevator. He is looking forward to spending time together. Jhope smiled outwardly, but he was nervous on the inside. It will take a lot of self-control for him to be in such proximity to his soulmate as a red-gold string. He is well aware that he is about to snap. The lure of the red-gold draws them closer the longer they are in each other's company. He promised her that he would stick to his word.  What in the world is he going to do?

In this, he'll need the help of his Hyung. Even if Yoongi's interference drove him nearly insane, he needs to reconcile with his closest friend, and he understands how difficult the silent treatments are for the introverted Yoongi. Jimin was almost insane by not being able to interact with him daily. Even if he was a pain in the butt, he misses them.

The porters came out of the door and bowed when they arrived at the penthouse apartment. They have no clue that they are in the presence of a superstar. In their hands, Jhope places a bundle of cash. They were giddy with joy.

He turned to you when he opened the door and scooped you up bridal style. Your breath hitched audibly as you yelped loudly, and Jhope broke into laughter as he saw your shocked eyes. He enters the apartment through the front door.

Inside the corridor, you both come to a halt. Wow, that's a great place to live. Namjoon is the actual owner of this apartment. It's been two years since he got it. Only Seokjin and Samiya stayed here f the current soulmates.   The schedules of Yoongi and Jiho prevented them from coming, but Namjoon hastily planned a trip for them. His housekeeper stocked the fridge and cupboards with fresh meat and other necessities to make their stay more pleasant.

With great excitement, you took a glance around.

"Whoa," said Hobi, wide-eyed and clutching your hands in his.

The porters placed the luggage in the hallway. You noticed cabinets with mirror finishes. It can hold all of your stuff and luggage. After you've done exploring, you and Hobi will unpack.

The small penthouse apartment features a dining area, kitchenette, and living room with a sofa couch in a powder blue L-Shape, with a large HD television, soft cushions, and throws with ---- One bedroom ---Hobi, look at your rosy cheeks. "Will you be comfortable if I share the bed with you...or will you mind if I take the couch? It's sufficient in size and comfort."

Your soulmate wants to please you so badly, to make you feel at ease in his presence, so you turn your face to his enquiring eyes.  And not temp FATE.

"I know what I said, but I enjoy falling asleep in your arms. I don't want to tempt you, but I'd like to share the luxury of the bed with you." You stare into his anxious eyes. He bit the inside of his bottom lip, unsure if you understood what you were asking. Do you realise how difficult it was for him to sleep next to you on the plane? Were you aware that he was nearly awake in the early morning hours of the charter, sitting in the little lounge watching Netflix because FATE's allure was blazing rampant? And to see you sleeping sweetly, your hair forming a fan around your head, and your breath softly flowing from your slightly open pink lips. You got him hot and bothered all over again, and the kiss you gave him this morning made him realise he'll have to struggle physically to behave.

Hobi gulps and rubs the back of his neck sheepishly, "To tell you the truth...I don't think I'll be able to...not...er." With a sweet grin, you stare into his eyes.

"I know I'm at blame for crossing the line and for FATE to ignite its allure. Don't be worried about it, please. If an issue arises, we will handle it." You wrapped your arms around him and rested your head on his chest. Both of your hearts were thumping in sync.

He isn't the only one who is affected by FATE's lure. You've been daydreaming about him all day, and you know you want him just as much as he wants him.

Hobi fully embraced you in his arms, knowing that His soulmate attraction would put him to the test. He already knows he'll fail the test without even taking it...

You and Hobi unpack your luggage and decide to have your driver drop you off in the city for your scheduled walking tour of the town, where you will visit some sights and enjoy the street cafes for lunch and drinks. You were both thrilled at the idea of taking a little break as newly-bonded soulmates.

"It's really hot here. Thank you, Hobs, for bringing me to this island. My family and I travelled together, but this was my first trip to Malta. It's a beautiful place." You gaze out the balcony window at the views and the bay.

Jhope stood on the balcony behind you, his arms snaking around your waist in a back hug as he gazed out at the bay, which was bustling with boats and yachts.

He tilted his head to stare into your bright, smiling eyes and asked, "Do you love the place?" You give the nod.

"Yes, we'll have to come back in the future."In his adoring eyes, you smile. Your feelings for this boy became stronger with each passing moment. You can't express how grateful you are that Fate brought you together and that you now possess his heart. Due to the red-gold string, nothing can take him away from you.  You are bound, married to each other by the system, never to be apart.

Jhope quietly grins as he tenderly kisses your warm cheek."Then we'll have to invest in property here.  We won't be returning to Namjoon's apartment. For fun times, you and I will need a lot of space."

With a spark in your eyes, you raise your eyes," A space to have a fun time—-"

"Oh, you'll see what I mean...but I won't give anything away about the future," Jhope laughs. " Are you going to change into something more comfortable? We're going on a walking tour of the city and eating a lot. Do you think you're  hungry?'

Jhope had planned an exciting itinerary for you during your stay. Your chauffeur will take you to Valletta's capital city, where you will meet your guide at Freedom Square. Jhope arranged for only the two of you to go on a private tour.

"Oh yes!" you say with a big smile."  I'm prepared for any weather. Come on, and we've got the whole day. I'll get dressed in the bathroom, so our hormones aren't tempted." You smiled and dashed out of his arms, and you reached for a pair of short dungaree shorts with a pretty tube top in the cupboard. You pulled your hair up into a high ponytail and snatched up your pink-and-white backpack. You put your wallet, sunscreen, lipgloss, snapback, and candy there. You may come across gift shops where you may purchase souvenirs for the Boys and Bells and your family.

In his summertime fannel-like shirt, a t-shirt, sweatpants, and camel-coloured snapback, Jhope looks cool. Your eyes couldn't stop staring at each other since he looked so "boyfriend material."

Jhope took a deep breath as he looked at your cuteness in your shorts and a short top, which cheekily display your bare sides. His heart began to race once more due to your well-toned legs. His soulmate, on the other hand, will be his death. Fortunately, she is only his. She is his to cherish and love.

"Oh, my goodness! Sweetheart, we'd better get out of here before we forget everything else—- "He laughed as he took your hands and pulled you behind him to the door. Your driver is waiting for us downstairs.

The travel to the nearby town takes only a few minutes. You put on your sunglasses and hold each other's hands in anticipation of a day spent together.

Mario, your tour guide, was a lovely man in his forties. Jhope was his usual outgoing self, and he and the guide quickly became friends. He started by inquiring about him. You're usually too hesitant to start a conversation with strangers, but you smile sweetly and speedily warm up to your guide. Jhope takes your hand in his. Valletta, Malta's capital city, is excellent terrain for a walking tour, as he showed you golden-hued buildings, rich cathedrals, and baroque splendour.

Then, when you went on foot to explore, Mario guided you to the Barrakka Gardens, the Grandmaster's Palace, and the Grand Harbor, among other places of interest. While you listen to your guide's remarks, you'll learn everything you need to know about the city's history. It felt nearly euphoric. Jhope took a lot of pictures of the two of you and the sites. You also captured some adorable shots of the attractions. You had lunch in a lovely baroque-themed bistro. You assured Jhope that you wouldn't spend any money when you were with him. This vacation will be centred mainly on him. He will pay for all of your souvenirs and anything else you may want. Your protest fell on deaf ears.

"After we've informed the group about our whereabouts," Jhope grinned, "I'll share some images." You have a fantastic view of the busy street.

"Would Namjoon tell them?"   you wonder while you sit outside and enjoy some meaty sandwiches. You enjoy the food and drinks in Malta.

"Sejin advised him not to tell the rest of the group. Senior management also told them not to bother me while I was with you...as if the Maknaes were listening. Jimin and Kookie have texted me several times to see how I'm doing without them."  He snickered and shook his head, "What are our strings, and when will they see the ritual of the marks?"

"So, they had no idea I was with you until Sejin revealed it," you gasp.

"I believe Sejin has already alerted them that we are together. They must inform anyone who questions my absence, such as the junior management, that I had to left early. You returned home to be with your family. Fortunately, Management gave the tour team a couple of days off till Wednesday. But we have the entire week off and can return to work on Monday," he smiled as he grabbed your hand and softly stroked it. He was looking you down with unbridled devotion. You flush bright red in response to his admiring look. The atmosphere around you had drastically changed.

"Kira... I love you so much, sweetheart," he whispers, his tone filled with love and affection.

As your fingers entangle into one otherĺs, you beam up at him and say, "I love you too, darling."

You realised his heart's lock was entirely open for you. You were the sole owner of the key to his fragile heart.
