Both Pov's

When you returned to your apartment, you were fatigued, but you were full of contentment and inner delight. You were ecstatic to be so close and comfortable with Hobi.

You discovered that you share similar tastes in sprite and ice coffee, as well as the colour green, and you grew more and more enamoured with BTS sunshine with each passing second. You saw him today so relaxed and at ease with you that you just wanted to grab him and kiss him senseless when he requested you to please take care of his heart with a little nervousness.

With your hand entwined in Hobi's, he proceeded to the living room, his snapback thrown on the counter.

He turned your happy face to face you in the middle of the living room as you looked up at his warm eyes.

"This was the most thrilling day of my life, sweetheart," he gushed, "and being with you here in Malta was a highlight."

"Blimey...I cherished every time with you, too, sweetheart," you smirk. You ran your hand across his knuckles.

He took a big breath and exhaled deeply "Do you want to take a stroll near the harbour at night? We can unwind while sipping cocktails of your choice." Jhope could feel the air around them change, and his body begin to work against the red-gold string effect.

Being so long alone in your seductive presence made him feel a little uneasy. He knows he wants to spend more time kissing you, but he's afraid it'll lead to something your might not ready for. He loves his soulmate and wishes for her to feel more at ease in his presence. He realized he was over three years her senior, and he still had to prove to you that he was okay with the bonding process after causing you so much pain due to his reluctance to bond.

He wants to show you how much he cares for you and offers you the opportunity to open up to him more. He'd like to learn a lot more about his soulmate. They only have till Wednesday to rest and enjoy themselves in Malta because he wants to formally introduce you to Management, his parents, and his sister as his soulmate (which will be a huge celebration; he is already nervous about Jiwoo's reaction and the band). He also needs to keep his relationship status hidden from his ex-girlfriend, Dove, who he knows will never accept another woman in his life. She'll go to any length to win him back, even if it means hurting his soulmate, which he can't let happen on his watch.

When a sweet voice spoke out, his train of thought was broken.

"Hobbs, let's phone our parents; my parents are expecting me back tonight..." You furrow your brows as you consider your parents' concern, knowing that Kenichi might inform your parents that you apparently already left.

"All right, call them; I'll also call my parents and Jiwoo. Oh, my gosh! She's going to murder me! Tomorrow was meant to be wedding preparation day. Jiwoo,  maybe a problem when it comes to her stuff..." He muttered to himself, and you bit your lower lip to keep from laughing.

It reminds you of when you were younger and had to look after the house while your parents were away on overseas trips. Kenichi has always said that you are a pain in the buttocks to your parents. You're excited to meet Jhopes 'sister.

Hobi sank into one of the plush grey sofas and pulled out his phone.

You make the decision to take a shower first.

"All right, you call your parents, and I'll go freshen up." Fortunately, it does not get too cold in the evenings. You'll just need to make sure you're dressed warmly.

The bathroom is quite opulent, and the amount of showergels and soaps on hand was scary. Namjoon either adores this place or simply keeps it stocked for the Bangtan brothers' visits.

Jhope inhaled deeply as he settled on the L-shaped couch. To get the ranting out of the way, he decided to call Jiwoo first.

He didn't even have a chance to say hello when she abruptly interjected, "What the flippen hell, Hobi, you said you'd be here this morning. Why didn't you let me know you weren't going to the cake tasting...and your tuxedo fittings...and so on——"

Jiwoo-Noona wants to baby him just because she is four years his senior, he smirks and just shakes his head.

He gave her time to breathe while she was ranting...he greets her with a chuckle and says, "Hello to you too Noona...just breathe. I'm not with the band right now in Tokyo—-."

"What!!! Where have you gone? "She exclaimed in shock. As his sister began to breathe heavily, Hobi had to remove the earpiece from his nearest ear.

"...I...er had a little vacation with...my soulmate," he inhaled again and exhaled deeply.

He waits patiently for the information to sink in.

Jiwoo's reaction was excellent, she never disappoints "Your... your soulmate...? YOU'VE FOUND YOUR SOULMATE AND ARE  ON VACATION TOGETHER...OMG!!!...Eomma!!! Appa!!! Hobi has found his true love!!" She yells in his ear, and he hears her call his parents.

Jiwoo's shrieking sound made Hobi whimper. Oh my goodness! He had no idea Jiwoo was staying at their house. In the background, his parents were shrieking with delight. He could hear his eomma telling his Noona to hand over the phone right now so she could speak with her youngest child. Hobi heaves a sigh. He is well aware that his eomma will expect him to reveal every last detail about his soulmate.

Why did he make such a blunder?

Jiwoos' cellpone was snatched by his eomma "Oh, my darling. Congratulations. I'm really happy for you. Oh, my gosh. Are you in good health? Did you accept her? "

"I appreciate it. It's a long, tiresome story, Eomma...but I'll tell you the details later. And it was difficult at first, but...she...is the most amazing person. Mom, she is such a strong woman to put up with me... And I truly love her—-eomma," he assured his mother, his tone laced with intense affection. It felt great to tell his mother about his feelings for his girl. His family knew he had sworn off love following the devastating pain he had experienced as a result of Doves' treachery.

"Oh, my boy...your Appa and I are so proud of you for working through your fear. I understand that crossing that bridge will take some time. But thank goodness you let FATE work for you... love her. When you love wholeheartedly, you will be loved completely back. This weekend, Appa wants to meet her. Jordan will also be present. ——"His eomma is ecstatic. In the background, Jiwoo couldn't stop laughing with glee.

Jhope's father may even congratulate him on his bravery in pursuing love. Jhope's entire family is overjoyed and eager to see his new daughter as soon as possible.

Jhope beams with joy since his family is eager to meet his girl. They wanted to know what strings they were, and before Hobi could respond, his gaze was drawn to his soulmate, who emerged from the shower wrapped in a pink spa towel. She was drying her hair, completely unaware that Hobi could see her half-naked body.

Jhope gulped hard as his gaze was drawn to her well-defined legs, and when his gaze lingered a bit longer on the cheeky softness of her female curves, his breath became strained couldn't even hear Jiwoo speak —-

"Hobi...Hobi...Hobi... Are you there?" Jiwoo screamed something in his ear. But he couldn't understand a single word she said.

With his eyes still checking out his love, "er...I...need to...say my goodbyes for the time being! I'll give you a call later...love you."

He abruptly stood up.

"Really, Hobi!" When Jhope abruptly ends the call, Jiwoo exclaims exasperatedly.

Akira pov

You felt energised after a nice shower, and your soulmark calmed. There is no burning, no suffering, and your heart is healed after the bonding.

When you noticed your soulnate blink several times as he stared at your almost naked body, you flushed flaming red. Oh, blimey!

You could sense his emotions and how much he wanted to be with you at that specific moment. You can imagine how tough it must be for him to resist the red gold string's attraction.

You noticed his apparent gasp and his unblinking gaze locked on your posture.

He had just ended his call abruptly.

He quietly calls your name, "A...kira..."He swallows hard and clears his throat.

"Yes, sweetheart," you say softly. You pondered how on earth you would resist being tempted alone in this magnificent country.

Jhope couldn't breathe...and with a stammer in his voice, he grudgingly moved his focus to the kitchen area, avoiding being seduced by your presence.

"Er...Would you like me to pour you something cold...a soda or cider?" Jhope asks, clearing his throat.He requires an extremely cold shower.

You furrow your brows as you see his jittery demeanour "Yes, Kindly give me a sprite."

You smirk as he chuckles a little, nervously ducking into the kitchen to avoid his beloved soulmate's sight.

You swiftly change into a pair of jeans and a lovely dark moss green lace blouse. Your hair was pulled back into a messy bun. After you've done your make-up, you look fabulous.

When you walked into the kitchen from the open plan bedroom, Jhope was standing next to the fridge, sipping sprite. His eyes enlarge as he notices your beauty. Oh, mama! You have a great figure.

"Woah...sweetheart, you're stunning."

You smiled as he handed you a glass of the delectable drink. He couldn't take his gaze away from you.

"Stop it, Hobbs, you're making me shy by staring at me like that," you pout cutely as Jhope kissed you on the cheek.

"You are the most gorgeous girl on the planet...and I would pay to just stare at you." He grins at your flushed cheeks. Today, your partner is in a highly flirtatious mood.

"Oh blimey! Today, you're on a roll. Before I lose my cool, go freshen up "You gently reprimand him.

Sterring him in the direction of the open bedroom.

Jhope just chuckled as he walked into the room and then turned around and blew a kiss on you.

You have a gentle laugh.

He yells out of the bedroom, "I want you all hot and bothered,sweetheat."

You blush but smile happily as you walk to the living room with your phone to reassure your parents that everything is fine.

When you launch the app, your phone has been turned off for the entire day. The sheer amount of Text messages from the Bells nearly blew you away. With a sweet grin, you simply shook your head and decided to phone your parents first.

"Oh baby, hello, aren't you supposed to come today?" your mother asked as she picked up the phone."I was preparing to phone you for your arrival information when Dad and I thought of you."

You swallow and clear your throat."I'm sorry about the change of plans..."

"What do you mean, change of plans?" your mother asked.  "Have you decided to join the staff for tomorrow's travels? Kenichi called to inform us that he and Afonso will be flying directly to Portugal. He'll be staying with his buddy for the entire week."

"No, not quite," you say. "Mom...I met my soulmate and...we had a little tussle at first...but he accepted me...and he er...decided to take me on a small vacation to complete the bond and get to know each other better—-"

" Oh blimey, darling!!! That is the most exciting news we have received thus far...o my gosh! This is enormous. Who is he, exactly? Is he in your line of work...oh my goodness, I can't wait to meet our new son..." Your mother shrieked with delight, and you could hear her call your father to notify him, but she told him to contact you later. First, she requires all of the deeds.  You grin at your normally reserved mother's excitement.

"Wow!  My sweetheart, you are indeed blessed. Tell Mommy more...where have you gone?' Your mother pleaded with you.

"Er...we're in Malta till Wednesday...he wants to meet you as well, and I guess I'll let you meet him first...but I'll give you all the details when we get back. I'm sure dad will die due to his curiosity." You laughed heartily. You could hear your mother grumbling with dissatisfaction. She is inquisitive and wants to know everything there is to know.

"Ugh, baby!  We're overjoyed." With a giddy tone, she said, "I can't wait to tell the twins—"

"Mom, please don't tell them yet," you inhaled deeply. "As a surprise, I'd like them to meet him." You quickly stopped her.

"OK...so...does he work?" she inquires. She and her husband have lavished you with gifts and do not want you to have financial difficulties in your marriage. You have a sizable trust fund that will start paying out when you reach the age of 25.

"Mom, don't worry about it...how do you think we got to Malta from Tokyo?" you snicker.

"That's correct...your father will be flabbergasted. Even if you are old and grey, you know your father wanted to look after you." She burst out laughing. You snort because your father informed you that even if you're married, he'll be responsible for making sure you're happy and settled.

You smirked as you pondered what your father would think if he had to meet your soulmate. Your sweetheart has a lot more money than his peers his age. He's even encouraged to invest in MALTA real estate if you enjoy the country as a vacation destination.

You and your mother talk for a few minutes as she asks you some embarrassing questions that make you blush. You'd rather not inform her you'll be sharing some "personal space" with your soulmate. Your father will develop an anerysm, and your mother will be concerned about your safety. You're not that illiterate. From your father's perspective, you're still a charming 13-year-old orphan that they adopted. They would pass out if they knew Kenichi's secrets. When Ken was younger, he was already wiser than Kei when he turned sixteen. 

You took a peek at the rest of your texts. The ranting of Funsize "Yunrus" makes you laugh out loud.

Funsize: What time do you plan to return? Why don't you tell us what strings you are? You're such a snob when it comes to divulging information.

You have a smirking expression on your face. You enjoy teasing them.

Samiya: Don't worry about Yunru; she's inquisitive. At the Mansion, you and I had a one-on-one meeting...alone.

Do you want to know something? way to be subtle, Sami?

Jiho: We'll hold our breath till you return. Mr Sunshine is a great guy to be romantic with. Jimin has been telling us strange things about you and Hobi. That one, though, Every day, his mind deteriorates.

As you read the chats, you smile inside. If they notice you online but never respond, they will be furious. Let them sweat in suspense.

Then your soulmate emerged from the bathroom fully clothed. As you look at him with admiration, he smiles at you. Wow, this bloke knows how to style himself. If he so chooses, he may style the rest of Bangtan. His street style is fantastic, but he looks much better when he's more relaxed.

You blushed as you noticed him raise a brow.

He teases you, "Like what you see, darling."

You take a big breath in, knowing how difficult it will be to resist temptation during the next few days. You're well aware that you'll never be as strong as Taehyung and Yunru. Your thoughts are already out of decency boundaries as your soulmate stood there all hot and handsome. As you observe as Hobi begins to grin until you realize you've been staring at him.

Your eyes widened as you snatched up a little cushion and hurled it at him, your face flushed with embarrassment. As he laughs out loudly, you raise his hand in pretend defence mode. He was ecstatic at the way your jaws dropped and the emotions he tapped into. He can't be the only one experiencing all of this awarenesses

"Stop being such a prat!  ...by looking so "hot," you make me feel crazy things. Hobi, this isn't right!!!" As you stood up, you pouted. Jhope smiled broadly as he approached you and pushed you up against him, his arms snaking around your small waist. As he looks down on you with an intense gaze, your breath becomes irregular.

" Thank you, Sweetie, for not giving up on me. I love you and consider you to be the best thing that's ever happened to me... I'm not sure how I'm going to make amends for all the pain I've caused you—-" You smiled tenderly into his eyes as your arms snaked up to his shoulders, while he seemed sorrowful.

" You don't have to do anything...just love me, wholeheartedly---" He smiles as he leans in for a sweet kiss on your lips.
