You might not be able to see,

 such things as a shy sparkle

But the fact that this version of me is my real self

His half-bonding made Jin feel mixed emotions during the car ride. It seems he can never forget his soulmates' beautiful, mesmerizing eyes. Due to the golden mask she wore, he couldn't see her whole face.

The painful moment was when she gazed into Noodle-Joo's loving embrace. Right there and then, he knew what she witnessed and perceived deeply affected her. It was evident from her fragile demeanor how much she was affected.

Although his attention was divided between his stunning soulmate and the happy conversation in the car, half of him remained attentive to it.

He is not sure what to do. As he pondered coming clean to management, Bangtan, and his parents, he felt nervous shivers running through his body. His mother loves Noodle, and she and the mother of Noodle have already discussed wedding venues outside of South Korea. Noodle and he are not even officially engaged.

When he looked at his girlfriend's glowing face, he could feel his heart constrict if only her soulmate could get his act together and dump his girlfriend. Noodle and he are both half-bonded without activation to their soul mates.

They can survive for at least six months, but their soulmate will be lost to them by then. He wants to meet her, but how can he do it without management knowing?

Her captivating eyes, her tall, curvy figure, and her cheeky jewel belly ring make his heartbeat erratically, and now that he has met her for the first time, she occupies a large part of his thoughts. While stroking her fabric-covered notebook, he couldn't stop thinking about her, and it oddly energized him.

Noodle was talking animatedly to Hanbin and Hobeom, who were laughing heartily in the backseat. However, she was unaware of what was brewing in his mind.

He found a beautiful lock on the notebook, but it was missing the key, and it was already open. Discreetly opening the notebook, he searched through it to see if there were any details about her. he found a copy of the uni map. Knowing that he finally found out something about her made his heart beat faster. The floral spice aroma that emanated from the pages entranced him so much that he had to close his eyes for a moment.

He knows the book was private, but he wanted to learn more about his "girl".

Her name was written at the bottom of the cover: Mia Dholakia, New Delhi, No street address was provided to protect her privacy. She was from India.Smart girl. After turning a few pages, a library card dropped out. His handsome face was starting to smile as he turned the card around and looked at it a second time.

Her beauty captured his attention. My goodness...the picture on the card is so small and does not do her beauty justice. She has a beautiful small, button nose and small, luscious lips. Lips he longs to touch. He shook his head at all the uncalled-for desires about his soulmate that threatened to consume him.

She needs to be found. FATE placed her at his doorstep. His girl couldn't use the library facilities independently, and she seemed to be a newcomer. Without her library card, she will be severely inconvenienced. The drawings of some type of eastern fashion were stunning. "Wow...she is an amazing designer or artist." His eyes widen.

A sense of curiosity had swept through him about what she studied as an undergraduate. He was eager to learn more about her, and he needed to get to her. Is she aware of his idol status? What will her reaction be? Is she familiar with BTS?

Her friend did not even recognize Hobeom, who was famed as a BTS manager. ARMYs know how BTS management looks. ARMYs are observant, and nothing can be hidden from them. He wondered if she was on social media. He needs to check Mia Dholakia's Facebook, Instagram, etc. As his heartbeat erratically once again at the thought that he had met his soulmate so unexpectedly, the perfect match for him regardless of whether it was to be a soul-friend, soul-protector, or soul-lover.

He can only get anything done if someone does not spill the beans or judge his decisions. Jin sighed deeply. What a mess! Why didn't he meet her before he got into a relationship with Noodle-Joo? He promised Noodle they would break up in two weeks. Even though he isn't in love with her anymore, he likes her a lot, maybe because she's a great kisser.

A soft smile graced Noodle-Joo's beautiful face as she looked at him.

"Jin, did your parents tell you about tonight's "Billionaire legacy club event?" They will be introducing thirteen new billionaires to the club, and our families will be invited to our meeting next month. Of course, you will be my date for that evening."Grinning, she was looking forward to being seen by the media with Jin, and it might prompt her soulmate to act. Her soulmate already appeared jealous of her SeokJinny.

Jin nodded absentmindedly, "I'll pick you up by six. If you don't mind." He glanced down at her gleeful eyes, filled with anticipation.

"This is going to be an amazing evening. All of our families will be sitting together. Appa said there would be a luncheon with delegates from India, the Philippines, and Japan as keynote speakers."Noodle-Joo is on the club's calendar.

Hobeom took Noodle-Joo to her apartment in the Trimage. Jin did not make a move to join her, as she stared inquiringly at Jin."Jinny, aren't you going to hang out with me?"

Jin looked at her and shook his head as he pointed to his assignment folder on the seat with weary eyes. It was a good excuse.

"I apologize, but I have to finish my assignment by Wednesday if I want to attend the event tonight," he said in a deflated tone. The event isn't something he wants to attend. Just recently, he bonded, and now he must come to terms with the inevitability of the whole situation. Inactivation is a devastating experience, and the double pain in his fingers is not something he can bear.

After getting out of the vehicle, she kissed him on the cheek, and he just smiled and waved her goodbye. Noodle-Joo stood for a few seconds after she closed the door and wondered why Jin looked so strange to her. Her eyebrows knitted together as she worriedly rubbed them. It was like he had lost his spirit.

Bangtan is working harder than ever before. According to Jin, the boys' schedules are going to be hectic tomorrow. A photoshoot with a prominent magazine is scheduled, and the shoot will be for the December issue. Since the boys will be performing at award shows and making television appearances in November, their shoot has been rescheduled.

Jin felt so strange after he was dropped off at home. Fortunately, Jhope went to fetch Jungkook from school. He promised the boys that he would make his famous soup, but his heart wasn't in it now that he felt this way. It seems that he is too preoccupied with the fact that he has met his soulmate.

Jin was escorted by Hobeom to their floor when the two entered Hannam the Hill apartments. When Yoongi opened the door, it was with a massive grin on his face, and he greeted Hobeom and entered.

The Maknae-line were playing Nintendo games, and not even that game intrigued him. Because of tomorrow's packed schedule, Namjoon and Jhope are in their rooms working on their university projects.
BangPd wants all of them to become highly educated and graduate before they reach 30. The more famous and well-known they are, the more work they get.

His favorite Hyung looks very tired from University as Jungkook looks up at him.

He jumped up from his seat and approached him, saying, "Hello Hyung...how was your day at university today?".

"...A lot is going on...and tonight is my Legacy Club meeting. My parents will be there. Fortunately, our next meeting will be in a month. Do you want me to order takeout for you? I wouldn't have time to cook anything." Jin smiled at his favorite. His love for the baby maknae is unconditional, regardless of how defiant he can sometimes be.

"Order" and "takeout are all Jimin and Taehyung hear. They were thrilled.

Jimin asked with exuberant excitement in his eyes, "You have been so good to us, Hyung. What would you like to eat, TaeTae?"

"Panda Express, please. Yoongi loves it too. You know how picky that Hyung is." The smiles as his eyes are still fixated on the game.

As a result, Jin nods, "I'll head to my room. Jungkook, you can order using my credit card. Nothing else okay, or you'll be a dead man?" The Hyung looked warily at the Maknae-line as he recalled a previous incident.

Jungkook is more trusted than the "Twins' soulmates".

During last time's prank, Jimin pranked him unknowingly in an embarrassing way. Jimin ordered pink, fluffy handcuffs on his account. They were a "thank you" gift. Maknae-line was the source of the gift. Sadly, no one revealed what it was. He was on Vlive with Jhope, and Jhope encouraged him to open all his adorable gifts. That was the most hilarious Vlive session ever. There were so many funny and teasing comments. The ARMY wanted to know if he was involved with someone and the nature of the relationship. Jin was not impressed. He was 22 at the time. Jhope was lying on the ground laughing.

That weekend, the Maknae -line lived off takeouts as punishment because Jin refused to cook for them and told the Hyungs not to be sweet-talked or even considered feeding the naughty Maknae -line until the culprit revealed himself. The maknaes didn't want to rat Jimin out.

The baby maknae had a hard time taking the food punishment, he loved his Hyungs' food, but his Hyung made sure to prepare the best meals for the weekend. As if that weren't enough, he also made extra efforts in the recipes to entice the maknaes, which resulted in Jungkook spilling the beans about who was the resident prank king.

Jimin has to pop out the amount of "wons" that was spent on Jins' card. Jhope and Yoongi handcuffed Jimin to his bed for three hours straight while he slept as revenge calls.

ARMY had to be convinced that Jin was single and too busy to date. What an embarrassing situation. His mom wanted to know if he was so lonely that he saw ladies of the night in secret. The management wanted to know what kind of secret relationship he had.
Fortunately, all was resolved, and the joke was over.

In Jin's room, he relaxed and started with some introductions of his assignments. 'Can't he cancel going to the event tonight?' he wonders. He has no interest in going.

Soulmates are challenging to find. Most soulmates meet rather late in life. To find one before the age of 25 is an unbelievable gift.

Jins's room was locked, so the Hyungs questioned why. He was just looking for some space.

Jin sighed as he struggled to focus on the task at hand. Leaning back in his leather chair, he runs his fingers through his hair. In looking at his alarm clock, he was amazed at how unproductive he had been all this time. It's almost time to get ready for the event. With a sigh, she stood up and went to the bathroom.

He and Noodle-Joo look radiant and filled with excitement that evening. He tried acting like it was genuine for his parents' sake. His mother noticed his solemn and stoic demeanor as he was there, but his full attention was elsewhere. The laughing, hilariously funny guy wasn't there. Their parents thought there had been a bitter fight between him and Noodle. Noddle-Joo just shook her head, hoping to get to the bottom of it.

......

You felt a wave of nausea as you dashed in horror to the bathroom.

Nothing could have prepared you for meeting your soulmate in this way. While you thought your soulmate would come from your race or nationality, FATE has other plans. Only 40% of those people got to find their perfect match in residing from a different region and origin.

But how can FATE pair you up with your bias? When you first saw Seokjin as the BTS-Hyung, you admired his visuals, his lips, his talent, his humor, and his broad shoulders; dreaming that you could fit in his arms, you always imagined yourself kissing him senseless. FATE seemed to be peering deeply into your heart's desires. It would never have crossed your mind that it would be the real "Macoy" Jin from Bts. Your idol.

As if he wasn't secret enough, he was already taken. There was a stinging sensation as tears traced down your red cheeks and watered your eyes. Why FATE do to you match you with one of the most unattainable men in South Korea? The Army's precious boys. 

You'll get so much hate because you're Indian and not Korean. They already know how he feels about his friend.  How come? Was something wrong with you?

You wiped your face and quickly reapplied your makeup. Seeing your flustered expression, you cannot show Alia how devastated you feel to find such shocking news. What will she say? You have lost your soulmate before you have even met him. His physical appearance is so stunning, and it's surreal. 

You are not even a true BTS fan, and you can't even believe that it happened to you. Besides their music and, of course, Jin, you do not know their lives. However, you are not a registered member of the ARMY like Alia and Priya. It would freak Priya out, and her meeting with  Suga will be at her doorstep.

You can't tell Alia your secret, either. If she finds out, she will confront him, and she is too fearless. In her book, you'll learn about the strangest ways to date and how to attract a man in the most unnatural ways. Why couldn't you be Tarnished like her? You wouldn't be afraid of liking him at a distance. There are a thousand people behind him.

In your deepest heart, fear paralyzes you. You instinctively know Seokjin will reject you. You are not his ideal type. It's hard for you to accept his rejection. You know that you are only making assumptions. Despite his funny and kind nature, how is he behind the cameras? To avoid him, you decided the next time you see him, you would hide in a very distant place where he would not be able to find you. 

FATE, however, is set to bring you into this path. Run or hide, and there is no escape. It is as if the bond wants to be activated desperately, and your heart already constricts, knowing that tonight you will dream only about him.

Faking an illness is not possible, and missing language classes is out of the question. It was up to you to suck it up and make sure Kim SeokJin cannot find you. It's well known that this inactivation will pay revenge and make you fall in love with him easily. You're already attracted to him. But running away and playing hide-and-seek will be a challenge.

By now, you know that spells "Mission, Impossible".

Your sigh fills the air as you exit the restroom. You find Alia waiting by the lecture room entrance. She smiled brightly, but she instantly became attentive when she saw your red eyes and flustered skin tone.

She stretched out her arm and placed her hand on your forehead. "Oh gosh Samiya...you look sick...what's wrong?" she asked. A grimace appeared on your face.

"I think yesterday's BBQ, Soju, and today's burgers didn't mix well. So I puked it out. It's okay now let's go" Blowing a white lie, you linked arms with her and dragged her out of the hallway.

"Where are we going since it's almost 3 pm?" You ask inquiringly. Wanting to keep her from questioning you further.

"Oh, Sabine told me where the bank is. Let's go open up our bank accounts and get our new IDs together. Once we have that, it is all set. My phone also needs to be fixed, and my parents will call me soon. Let me use your phone to call them and explain what happened before they send Ranveer to check on me." she grimaced and led you to the location. It wasn't far, just a few blocks on the university grounds, and there was a buzz among the students.

Konkuk had a large population of international students, which made you happy. This may be due to Jin studying at Konkuk University. You wouldn't have come to Korea if you had known he would turn out to be our soulmate.

You murmur, "I need more cash.". Having cash makes it easier to visit the shops for clothes and materials.

Upon finding the University bank, you and Alia were both able to open personal bank accounts within an hour.

There was much admiration from the bank manager when he saw that the girls had so much money of their own. Korea has no problem allowing them to remain there indefinitely.

You both just smirked because he didn't realize how much money you earn from endorsements and celebrity status. In addition, you are paid to give motivational speeches.

You walked to a cute convenience store near the dorms after your trip to the bank, and a few thousand won had been added to your wallets and cards.

Alia exclaimed joyfully, "Oh, let's get some snacks to snack on. Will we travel via bus or subway?" She would like to experience everything she can.

"By bus... Okay. I need water and something sweet," you murmured as you entered the shop. Alia was scanning everything, and you and Alia both tried to read the labels and snorted at how strange you sounded.

Several customers smiled at you. Just take your stuff and pay. You are hurrying to catch the next bus. At last, you are at the bus stop, and the bus has just entered the university campus. When you see the previous person get on the bus, you sigh in relief.

When you entered the bus, you were panting. As you snickered and giggled, you took two seats at the back.

"Wow...that was a workout. We need to go to the gym very soon." She fell back on the seat.

You swept your hair out of your face and put it in a ponytail. Taking a sip of water makes you deeply sigh. Alia bought a lot of Korean snacks for the household. But you don't feel like eating, and you just want to go home and get started on your Cultural class assignment.

What a day it has been! You should call your sisters and parents. You are feeling the weight of half-bonding with a superstar again. It's impossible to imagine how your parents will react. It almost makes you cry just thinking about it.Fortunately, Alia and the girl across from you on the bus were conversing, and she spoke English.

When you arrive at your apartment block, you exit the bus and go through your security gate. You scan your fingers and enter the building. Alia was singing a Hindi song that she likes very much, and it's probably because she dated this singer from Bombay.

You both decided to freshen up and get started on your assignments and call your families. Knowing you will find it difficult to concentrate because being alone with your thoughts is not conducive to concentration. You will constantly think about the superstar with whom you have bonded.

You stripped off your clothes and got into the shower. While washing your hair, you felt the stinging sensation of frostbite creeping from your wrist to your two fingers. It made you want to scream as you rubbed it. The pain was excruciating, and your tears began to mix with the water.

Wow! The pain of inactivation will be unbearable. Without your soulmate, you will feel unbalanced. Dry yourself off and wear a sleep shirt.

Alia appeared in your room to let you know that Sona would take her with her little Getz to the repair shop and if you wanted to go. Sona only used the bus today to show you how to get to the University. She was so pleased that you had a nice day.

"If you can, maybe bring me some medicine. I'll call my parents. If your phone opens again, it's fine. But feel free to use my phone to call home when you get back." You suggest, and it's not as if you want to go anywhere. Your mind wandered back to this strange and exciting day as you lay down.

"Okay, rest well. I'll get us Panda Express. Sona told me it was a trendy take-out restaurant. So see you later-now be safe." She had a cute dress on and her handbag. You wave at her as you hear the door close and lock.

You are alone with your thoughts. You are thinking about a loving couple. His girlfriend was so delighted when she threw herself into his arms. That moment was the moment you knew you lost. The girl was gorgeous. Even if you competed with over 100 beauties for the title of Miss World and you were named the youngest second-runner-up, you began to feel insecure. How could you compete for the crown of love?  He was hugging her tightly as his eyes were intensely looking into yours.  Once more, you are filled with sadness. When you feel like this, you want to bury yourself in your duvet and forget about it.

Your handsome soulmate's gorgeous eyes will haunt you all night long. You already long to be with him.
