Jin pov

The tour schedule was busy wrapping up. The Bangtan Boys had a few days rest from their South American Tour. The next leg of the tour was Asia.

The concert was preceded by a special session at the Ikon Seaview Restaurant. It was called the Hi-5 session where 300 ARMY could buy tickets to see their Bangtan Boys and Hi-5.

The boys were requested to wear special gloves to protect them from accidental mark activation. If it happens, it will be disastrous for their new soulmate. The management and bodyguards were very attentive to each member that hi-5 an ARMY-fan.

Concert's evening out felt emotional because they wrapped up their Episode II, The red bullet concert, with a grand finale in Hong Kong at the Asia world expo center with 4000 attendees.

Again the Bangtan boys showed a fantastic display of showmanship throughout the entire shIn addition they gave their beloved ARMY fan service by speaking English the whole time to connect with the audience.

The group slays every song. The H-ARMY was very engaging. They were singing and chanting the boys' names.

The boys even spoke using the  Cantonese phrase.ARMYs filled the Arenaled with excitement. The group even split into two groups. The Ballads and the Hip hop. To show their ARMY different charms. They played Rock, paper, and scissors where the loser will be requested to demonstrate Aegyo (cuteness), and poor Suga was the loser.

They played together on stage as well teasing each other. Their strong bond showcases their love for each other, and it puts smiles army.

Jungkook was splashed with water as a token of his coming birthday. They also sang "happy birthday "to him.

It was a memorable time for them in Hong Kong with the ARMY. Jin-Hyung look relaxed as because his soul mark gave him a break. There were no occurring acting out since their tour in Thailand.

The evening late after they wrapped up the concert, the boys were on their way home and filled the Hong Kong airport to catch the last glimpse of their boys. The group was tired and couldn't wait to touch down the foot on home ground.

.......

The boys were on a roll. They didn't stop working. Everyone wanted a piece of them.

The next day the Bangtan boys performed "DOPE" Exclusively at Billboard Studios.

The group also became a PUMA spokesman in Korea.
The PUMA campaign was called "Play Warm" it was for their winter campaign.

The Bangtan boy's photoshoots could ruin any professional model's career.

They were tired when they reach home after the photoshoot management first took them to a lovely Korean BBC at an exclusive restaurant where the boys could relax.

The next day...  

Jungkook had to stand up early because it was time for him to go to school. This year he is in Y2. He is so excited because in only two years then he will be forever done with school. It is challenging at school with so many jealous idols that haven't reached the pinnacle of success that he's the band has achieved.

Even during the hard times that the band has endured from the idols, rival agencies, and media, they did very great worldwide. They set the tone for the worldwide dominance of kpop.

The awards shows usually snubbed them for the Daseangs and Bosangs. As a result, they have never won the Seoul Awards Show or the Artist Awards shows; however, they have been working very hard with the staff on all the performances and music videos.

"Jungkook, are you ready? Why do you always make us late, hmm!"Jin calls out loudly.

"I'm coming. Jeez," he shouted back.

"Hey, don't be cheeky with your Hyung. He can let you go by bus to school. Just think of all the saseang fans that are watching you!" Yoongi came into his room, yawning from a late working on songs, where he is still busy throwing some books and textbooks in his backpack.

Jungkook looks a little grey around the face, "Will Jin-Hyung do it to me? He is too nice to do that to me."

Yoongi smirked, "Of cause, he won't do it to you, he let you get away with too many things, but I will do it. So don't tempt me...go, you can't be fashionably late...your fangirls are waiting at the school entrance for you."

Jungkook pulls a sour face," Why must idols go to school? Can't I do it online...The girls are overbearing. I'm too shy to make other friends. Most girls want me to date them."

"Jungkook!!!! "Another loud shout from their Hyung.

Jungkook sigh, "ok bye Yoongi-Hyung. Tell the rest of the lucky boys...I'll see them later."

He ran out of the room to meet up with an annoyed Jin-Hyung. He also needs to see his professors and get his 3rd-year results from all the exam assignments that he had to complete during tours. He was so exhausted, and he can't wait to complete his final year. Next year.

The other Hyungs and older maknae-line are all enrolled in an online university. Namjoon -Hyung wanted to study engineering but opt for the media world.

He and Jungkook first took a drive-through at McDonald's for a breakfast meal. Jungkook was elated to eat some food. The girls at school love to shower him with treats. There is especially a cute girl, an idol trainee that likes him.

Jungkook always noticed her, but he is too shy to make the first move, and most of those over 20's Hyungs are on dating bans. So it was a sad thing when they all had to break up with their girlfriends. Jhope was the one that went through an adamant time in his relationship with a cheating girlfriend. He doesn't even want to hear anything about relationships. Even if girls flirt with him, he dismissed it. So Yoongi missed out on pursuing a girl he liked and had to give up on her.

After Jin-Hyung dropped him off and his usual fan girls awaited him at the gate, he followed them smiling back to class.

The older girl's eyes were full of admiration for the more senior idol, Jin-Hyung, who smirks and drove away.

He arrived at his Uni. His two bodyguards were waiting patiently for him at the parking. He hoped he passed his language and Acting major; unfortunately, he cannot afford to lose credits.

He is one of the most hard-working and focused students at uni. Luckily his professors understood his idol -status and let him submit all assessments through the student portal.

Last night his fingers felt numb from all the stinging. He couldn't even prepare the dishes, and the other Hyungs had to step in. Jin felt a little nervous about meeting his soulmate so soon. How will his management handle it? How will he take it?

He never even had the chance to hook up with any girls. The only girl he remotely liked was his ex-girlfriend, whom he breaks up with within his first year.

His parents want to see him at home. They missed him very much. He is the maknae of his family, and sometimes he gets very annoyed with his overly doting and smothering mom, but he loves her to bits. They love to talk for hours on the phone daily.

After the fetch Jungkook at school, he got himself ready to take  the 11-minute drive to
Gwacheon, his hometown.

His CEO father purchases an 11 million dollar mansion in one of the wealthiest neighborhoods 5 minutes out of Gwacheon.
His family is considered among the wealthy clans in Korea. Kim has an older brother, Kim Seok-Jung.

Kim Seok-Jung and Jin decide to open up a restaurant. Still, they plan that his brother will run the business with Jin he will become the  CEO of the restaurant called Ossu Seiromushi, a Japanese restaurant.

Jin tries to keep his family out of the media. As a result. ARMY could only speculate, but no one knows a lot about his father's food distribution company. His mom was a former Miss Korea in the '70s, and she is now very active as one of the CEO of their company.

In the living room, Jhope and RM were relaxing.

"Are you on your way, now?"Rapmon at Jin pushing his weekend trolley bag out.

"Yeah, luckily, we don't have an appearance scheduled for this weekend...my Eomma is constantly whining that she doesn't see her baby enough...but I'm a little apprehensive of this sudden visitation," he said with furrowed brows.

RM looks a little concerned, "Do you think your parents are planning to arrange a marriage for you?"

Jin nodded and wiped his eyes," I have a gut feeling I'm going to be presented like a bull in front of buyers. I'm not keen to marry a girl who isn't my soulmate."

Jhope chuckles, "You are part of the Billionaire legacy club. Your parents can rig with the system and get you married off to a suitable rich Korean girl..."

Jin sigh, "That's the thing, Guys. Two crazy girls are already in the running. I just want to relax at home, not meet suitable girls...Your Soulmate  is what needed to be suitable."

Namjoon shook his head," I feel pity for you, Hyung...Korean parents expect total obedience."

Jhope smile," If you are red gold, the system will not allow arranging marriages, so pray your soulmate strings will be red gold."

The three Maknaes came into the lounge with excitement at seeing their Hyungs. Suga is at the studio, doing producing work.

"Heya,  Jin -Hyung, are you leaving for Gwacheon now?" Jimin asks with interest.

"Don't forget your mom and future sister-in-law's Prada bags you bought for them in L.A.." Jungkook reminded him while eating some chicken pops.

Jin smiled, " Thank kooks, I have a ready y pack it in. Guys, let me leave. Don't miss me too much this weekend. See you on Monday. Suga and Jhope will do the cooking."

All the boys wish him a safe journey.

.......

It wasn't even 10 minutes, and Jin already reaches the city.

He entered a very secluded estate and drove another few minutes to his family mansion. ARMY doesn't know this place. His father let them move to a newly built mansion a few months ago. It was safe and secure here.

He saw his mom and brother's cars parked in the garage. His dad is not home yet. It seems that  If his brother is home, it might be something significant because his brother has an apartment in the City.

He parked his car behind his mom's car. Then, he went through the door in the garage that leads to the lounge entrance. He locks in his secret door code and enters the opulent and very luxurious interior of his house.

He loudly greets his mom and brother. Seok Jung was sitting and relaxing in the family lounge watching television while his mom was busy in the kitchen. It smells divine.

" Heya, mom, I'm home..." Jin shouts. Seok Jung just shook his head and gave you a secret handshake. His mom was rushing inside the foyer and grabbed her youngest in a tight embrace.

"Oh, my baby is back safe and sound from the tour...welcome home, dear. We missed you," his mom gushed.

Jin laughingly embraced his beautiful mom softly and looked in her face with affection," I miss you too. I brought you something; for you and my sister-in-law aw...hope you like it. I bought it in L.A...I hope you'll enjoy the colors. Don't worry, bro. I bought you and Dad something in Mexico also."

"Aww baby, you don't have to. Take your bags to the room and help me cook. I baked lovely treats." she gestured to the sizzling pots on the stove.

Jin looked at her with questioning eyes," Mom, what's the occasion?"

She smiled widely, "Oh, you Dad's partner is coming over to discuss certain ....matters."

Jin feels a sense of dread. Why does he think that something is brewing in Kim's household?

Seok-Jung chuckled,  " Tell him the real reason, mom?"

Your mom looks at him with a guilty expression. " We want you to meet a new potential wife for the future,"

Jin whined at hearing that," ugh, mom, you promise no more arrange marriages before I meet my soulmate, is it the Choiss? Please not one of those two, please." He furrows his brows unhappily.

"Of course, baby, but your dad, I'd be the one who wants to make sure you have a good match if your destined soulmate is not red gold. We need to protect our legacy and family fortune from gold diggers and bad genes." she quickly rushes back to the kitchen to check on the dishes. His older brother starts snickering, and Jin looked at him with narrowed eyes.

"You're very fortunate not to worry about arranged marriage. You found her before 25. You were almost married off to that spoiled brat of that oil magnate."

"Is because God loves me..."His brother snorts at his younger brother's sour face.

"Yeah, right."

He grinned and took the winding stairs to his room.

Jin loves their new mansion. It's open and very luxurious. However, most people couldn't understand why he chose to live with the boys in a small apartment, especially during their pre-debut days.

He was from a privileged background. Jin wanted to map out a life for himself. But, instead, he makes his own choices and learns to appreciate the good things in life by living like an average young guy without the spoon-feeding of his rich family legacy.

His parents are proud of him and his idol status. As long as he studies and obtains his degree. The family always tease him about his career choice as a singer and not as the best detective in south Korea.

He quickly unpacks and heads downstairs, and his mom will fill him in about the new perspective fiancè. He prays that he finds his soulmate before he turns 25. He wants to be with the girl FATE intends him to be with. That will love him, and he knows he will love her with everything inside him.

His mother was busy cooking. She made even Japanese dishes. According to his mom, your Dad partners' wife is half-Japanese.

His mom ordered him to cut the cakes, and he and Seok-Jung had to set the table according to his moms' specifications.

"Eomma, who are  these partners of dad?" Jin asked while handing his brother the shiny, stainless steel cutlery from Lenox Portola flat wear. His family believes in the very best.

"He signed a 500 billion won packaging to deal with our company. His family name is Bae." She explains while she placed the foods on in hot servers dishes for the buffet table.

"Bae..oh, it sounds so familiar?"He furrowed his brows deep in thought as to where he heard that surname.

Seok-Jung looks at Jin with an amused expression on his face,"Bae and Choi Packaging. He is. Mr. Choi's dad's other CEO friend partner. They will supply the exclusive packaging for Kim-Foods...and he got a lovely younger daughter who is coming of age. She's 21 years."

Jin looks at his mom in disbelief, "You want me to get engaged with their daughter...doesn't she have a soulmate?"

His mom smiled and show off her pearly white teeth against her blood-red lips," That's the mystery, my boy, she's still single"

"Oh, so she doesn't care about arranged  marriage. Does she knows about BTS?" He hopes she isn't a crazy fangirl.

"Your dad didn't inform them about you as a superstar. So they ey' 'll meet our family for the very first time." His mother chuckles at the thought of the new acquaintance's shock when they meet her youngest.

"Oh great!!"Jin mumbles.

Seok-Jung laughs softly, "I can't wait for their daughter's reaction. This is going to be the best night of our lives."

"Not to be funny, Eomma, but what is their daughter doing for life? I hope she is not living an idle rich life, going to the spas, country clubs, gyms, traveling excessively, and staying in designer boutiques..." Jin doesn't look very impressed. Wants a down-to-earth stunning, humble girl and that can cook well.

His mom grinned, "Don't fear...I heard she is still studying at one of the best universities, for a business accounting degree or so. She is ever intelligent and gorgeous. And 'pretty' is your type."

Jin shook his head when he thought about the most beautiful girl he saw on an Indian Channel. Now that was a girl who stirred him up. She was gorgeous. He hopes his future soulmate will be everything he desires and fits his parents' checklist.

His mother didn't know he had his fair share of the dating experience in his life. He had a girlfriend when he was 13 years. She cheated on him, he then hooked up with a girl when he was 16 years during his exchange program in Australia. His first serious relationship, which he valued so much, was his first love in his freshmen year in uni.

 Unfortunately, they had to break up when they debut, and then two years ago and none of the Hyungs and Maknaes knew about this one...He made out with their CEO's little niece during a company party at Bangs's house. They kept it secret. She met her soulmate recently, and they are red gold.

Jin's moms' voice took him out of his space-out expression," Ok sons...thank you for your help. Go shower and look very presentable. The attire is formal. Jin dear, you still have e few suits in your cupboards, choose one and be the charming boy I raise you to be. Ok. Go!!! You too, Seok-Jung. Your dad will be home soon, and our guest will be here in an hour." She chases them out of the kitchen.

The boys kissed their mom and retreat to their rooms.

After a refreshing shower, Jin clothed himself in a designer suit, and he knows he looks good. He hopes his future fiancè will be a treat for the eyes.

His dad came home and had a friendly chat in his bedroom, and then his dad had to refresh. His mom looked beautiful in her designer dress, and she'll be a stunning hostess like always. Finally, an hour late, the front door intercom made their guest presence known.

He felt the apprehension in his stomach rise, and he stalled a little in his room until he encouraged himself to face the evening. Jin sigh wishing he was with his band members. He walked out slowly from his room. He could hear the pleasantries and champagne glasses. He decided to first peek over the balustrades and check out the Bae family before taking the stairs.

When he looked down, the guest's daughter raised her eye toward where he was standing. Their eyes locked. Both of them looked at each other with total wide-eyed shock.

"Oh my gosh!" Jin softly gasped.
