My arms and legs,
heart and soul that
I have lived with until now

As he looked at one of the most beautiful girl he had ever seen, the shock was evident in both of their eyes. Wow! Her jaw dropped, and her face lit up with astonishment. So smokin' hot. BTS Seokjin. Introducing Mr World Wide Handsome.

Together with Seok-Jung, Jin's parents looked in the direction where the guest daughter was looking. While smirking, they know Jins' visuals can completely derail anyone. The Bae parents smiled broadly as they saw how the two younger ones were ogling each other. Marriage negotiation is going to be a blast.

Jin exhaled and moved down the stairs to stand politely next to his parents. Each member of the Bae family bowed politely to him. Ms Bae and her daughter were beaming from ear to ear. The mother couldn't believe that Kims'son was one of Korea's most popular Kpop idols. There will be a celebrity wedding for her daughter.

In awe of Jin's stunning visuals, Mr Kim, Jin's dad, smiles broadly at the awe-inspiring expressions on the Bae's faces.

Mr Kim introduced his son with deep affection: "Mr and Mrs Bae, meet Kim Seokjin, my youngest son. "

Jin smiled widely and accepted the introductions. Seok-Jung smirked at the stars in the female guests' eyes.

Jins' status was still unknown to Mr Bae, who smiled warmly and said, "Seokjin...please meet my wife Ae-Ri and our daughter Joo-Hyun. It's great to meet you."

Both Jin and Joo-Hyun smirked as their eyes met once more. Joo-Hyun is incredibly beautiful. With silver Jimmy Choo pumps, she wore a shimmering white dress that reached mid-thigh. Her cute pixy ears were adorned with small, platinum earrings, and her hair glistened and sparkled. Her intense eyes caught the light. Jin's breath caught in his throat. Oh my gosh,

Her beauty is evident. Unfortunately for the parents, no bonding took place.

Kim's led the parents to the lounge; Seok-Jung raised his eyebrows when he noticed that Jin and Joo-Hyun were still staring at each other, not even moving an inch. Shrugging, he followed his parents so the two future love birds can get to know each other when their family was out of earshot.

Jin and Joo-Hyun gasped in awe at one another.

Jin whispers, astonished, "Oh, my freaking Noodle-Joo...I can't believe it's you.".

"Yes, I know, SeokJinnie. How cool is it that our parents know each other through their business alliance?" Looking into his eyes, she was awestruck.

'And they don't even know... you are so beautiful ... let's go before our parents get any strange ideas,' he took her hand and led her to where their parents were having drinks. The Kims' home was beautiful and stylish, and the visitors were in awe.

They could not contain their smiles as they saw the two coming around hand-in-hand. The grins on the faces of Ms Kim and Ms Baes were as big as the Han river. There is a clear attraction between their children.

When their parents gazed at their entwined hands, Jin and Joo-Hyun became flustered and immediately let go. Jin's embarrassment and Joo-Hyun's blushing faces caused Seok-Jung to snort and raise his eyes.

Jin's father asked Jin to play something on the piano as both sets of parents sat with drinks. Joo-Hyun's parents also ask her to render an item. Although she smiled, she felt nervous. However, as she looked at Jin, he was smiling and encouraging her.

As a form of icebreaker, Jin decided to play one of his solo songs, Awake. The song's co-writer was Jhope. A piano cover is all that Jin will render.

Bae was in awe. There was applause after Jin finished playing. A short piece by Joo-Hyun was also performed. After the exciting introduction, Jin's mom led the group to the dining area, enjoying a buffet. The parents are delighted that Jin appears to enjoy Joohyun's company. Jin enchanted Joo-hyung. Her eyes were glistening.

Their time around the table was relaxing. His mom prepared several Korean dishes as well as western dishes that everyone enjoyed. Ms Bae showered his mother with compliments, and his mom was beaming. His mom, like him, is a foodie. Despite being allergic to some food ingredients, he still loves making certain dishes with his mom.

It was a time for them to get to know one another around the table. So even when his wife informed him that Jin was a member of Korea's most popular boy band, BTS, Mr Bae dropped his stainless steel chopstick.

"Congratulations. South Korea is very proud of you for all your success. Oh goodness...you're one of BangPD artist...wow." He gushed with admiration toward the superstar.

Jin thanked him humbly for his good wishes and smiled graciously. Then, he was asked about his career as a superstar artist.

Mr Kim looked at the  Baes and said, "Fine, but my Seokjin is not only a singer; his business sense is almost like ours. He and his brother are starting a business, which they are yet to disclose. He is still completing his undergraduate degree in acting at a university. It is encouraging to see him remain focused on his studies. Joo-Hyun dear...your dad told me you were an exchange student in Melbourne,  Australia?"

Joo-Hyung blushed for all the attention she was getting, " Yes, Sir, as Seokjin, I am a Graphic Design student. Vogue Korea magazine has already offered me internships, and Dad has already re-enrolled me at Konkuk University. So, this coming semester, I will begin my fourth year of college."

As his parents beamed at Joo-Hyung, Jin looked surprised at her.

"It's such a coincidence that Seokjin will also complete his final year at Konkuk. How awesome!" his mother gushed.

"As students, you'll have the ability to interact with each other a lot," Ms Bae exclaimed.

A smile spread across Jin's face as he looked at Joo-Hyun. His attention flustered her. Soekjin has become freakishly hot.

"We might run into each other on campus...we have a rigid tour schedule. Our last stop will be Seoul." Jin said. He would like to see her again. She is so gorgeous.

"Well...Now you'll be hanging out with Joo-Hyun more, and you'll be dating partners  at dinner events." Mr Kim grinned.

His wife interrupts, "Jin is an idol; it will be difficult to hang out with him. Their fan base is very attentive, and saseang might hunt Joo down. She might be in danger, and paparazzi never stop seeking dating scandals."

As Ms Bae nodded, she said, "I understand. They only see each other as students on campus."

When a dessert has been served, all the families retreat into the family room while their maid cleans the table. They drank tea and ate more cakes. Joo and Jin were sitting alone in the piano room.

Seok-Jung excused himself because he received a message from his soulmate. She had returned to Seoul. She was away at a conference focused on the beauty industry. Busan is the location for her new Beauty Spar.

After bowing politely to the family, kissing his mom on the cheek and pressing his little brother's shoulder, he left to fetch his soulmate at her parents' house.

Jin looked at Joo-Hyung, extending his hand to her, gently pulling her up as they walked to the big glass doors, "Let's go out for fresh air for a bit."

He led her out to the pool area as she giggled and linked arms with him. The families beam at the two. He showed her their pool house near the pool. The patio area is a great place to spend time with family.

Looking at him, she asked, "SeokJinnie... did you ever regret it?"

Jin looked at her with a confused expression," What do you mean?"

"When you broke up with me in our first year," her eyes are filled with sadness.

Jin sighed and looked lost as he said, "Yes, I like you so much, that's why I asked you out. I didn't know we were going to debut so soon... We only dated for three months, but after our SM camping workshop, our then manager informed Bang we were not allowed to have girlfriends after debut, a rule endorsed by kpop to keep young celebrities morally upright. Unfortunately, it would also negatively impact our fame and popularity. So we broke up with all our girlfriends. Hope and I were the only ones in relationships. Yoongi was in love with a girl and lost her before he could date her. Namjoon was in love with a schoolmate but could not date her, and our phones were confiscated... I truly apologize for breaking your heart...Noodle-Joo?" He was remorseful as he looked back at her wet tears.

They stood looking at the swimming pool. Jin home truly is magnificent.

Joo-Hyun caressed his knuckles, "I missed you so much, SeokJin...I wept every night thinking of you. During the first three months after your debut, you studied online, so I applied for the exchange program. I remember you always told me it was exciting to visit Australia. The opportunity to move on had presented itself, but - " he stared at her with his sad eyes while she looked upwards to the lit-up skies. She was thinking about their break-up.

I have never stopped caring about you. I always follow your progress online, but I never imagined that you are THE Kim my father wants to introduce me to...my ex-boyfriend...it's still amazing that I could reconnect with you." She smiled softly.

She was suddenly embraced tenderly by Jin. "I liked you too, and I'm sorry we missed the chance to develop our relationship. Now we are both soul-marked for someone else."

The girl looked down to the ground with pain in her voice as she whispered," A week ago, I had already half bonded with someone...but he is a very famous Korean actor...he rejected me. We had bond at a charity event, and he hosted it. So even though I am not aware of our strings, I start feeling the effects of non-activation. My parents don't know, and they want us to be together. I don't know what I am going to do." Her arms are tighter around his waist. With her head nestled on his broad shoulders, it is comforting to be in his arms again.

As Jin glanced at Joo-hyun, he said, "I'm so sorry to hear that. I haven't met my soulmate yet, and I'm not sure what our strings will be.".

"Whenever I look at his drama series, I miss my soulmate, SeokJinnie... I wish I was Tarnished from the beginning", she told me with tears in her eyes.

It made Jin feel so bad. "Don't worry, and he will eventually get it. He will go crazy from the effects. Noodle-Joo. We can hang out at the Uni, okay...I'm always there for you."

"Thanks, SeokJinnie; I'm glad I have your back even though we aren't soulmates...but what about our parents?" She looked concerned.

" You know what?..let them do what they want. If your soulmate learns that you will marry BTS Jin, he might get jealous and contact you. But, as we speak, he is falling deeper in love with you..." he smiles conspiratorially.

"So...we must make our parents believe we agree to an arranged marriage?" She chuckled. "Until you find your soulmate and mine accepts me." Jin nodded.

It made her laugh when she thought about the deception, " We explain to our parents that we have broken off our engagement when our soulmates show up... but things could get complicated if we find our soulmates and they are not red gold, will we still go through with the marriage?"

It won't bother her at all to marry SeokJinnie. Parents have already approved, and they move in the same social circles.

"Yeah, if we're both yellow-stringed, the blue string complicates things a bit. We'll have to see how it goes. Six months are left for you to activate. After that, bang Pd will be informed. Hopefully, ARMY will not find out. In the meantime, it must be kept secret. We will act all lovey-dovey like when we dated." He looked sideways at his mother and Mrs Bae and saw them looking at them.

Jin looks at Joo-Hyun. "Our mothers are looking at us...play along."

Her eyes widen as she observes Jin's smirk, "okay,"

Jin snickers at her stunned expression when he lifts her chin and gives her a soft kiss on the lips.

Their moms were high-fiving each other. Glad that their kids get along well.

"Oh, my gosh, Seokjinnie! At least tell me you are going to kiss me so that we can share a real kiss." - she slapped him on the chest. Jin laughed at her mock irritation.

"In the months that followed our break up, I missed kissing you." He looked longingly at her.

Smiles spread across her face as she slid her arms around his neck and stroked his soft hair." I missed you too...I haven't kissed for quite some time now, and I don't even know how to kiss...please remind me again", she said as she looked at her favourite feature of his, his lips.

He smiled and pushed her gently against the pillar, holding her tightly to him and softly moving his lips over her cherry-flavoured lips. As they explored the heated world of their mouths, their lips became familiar with each other again.

Jin's lips were incredibly soft against Joo's, and she couldn't get enough of them. Their kiss grew hotter and more passionate. Jin kissed her with an unmatched passion, and she readily matched it with her own. Several minutes had passed before they looked up, panting and breathless, into each others' eyes.

"Oh my goodness, Noodle-joo!" He breathlessly exclaimed against her swollen trembling lips.

As Joo-Hyung opened her hooded eyes, she exclaimed breathlessly, "...our SeokJinnie...why couldn't fate match us as soulmates...we would have been so good together."

As he pecked her lips once more, he stroked her face in his hands with his thumbs, "Noodle-Joo, let's make up for real...until we meet our soulmates." He gazed into her wide eyes.

She asked tentatively against his full lips, "You...you really want me...". One of the most desired idols is again interested in dating her. Oh my goodness!

His lips curled, and he smiled, "Yes...I want you Noodle-Joo...so kiss your, boyfriend. We wasted two years already, and we have a lot to make up for" he laughed as he watched her eyes light up in joy.

She laughs softly and coyly say," I might not give you up...baby, but who am I to complain..." and her fingers find their way into his hair as she pulls him down to her level before kissing him vigorously.

Unknown to the reunited couple, four sets of eyes were watching them with excitement... With wide eyes and  dropped jaws, they stared.

Again, billionaires reign supreme...
