Destined Love | Min Yoongi

Chapter 32

❀

Yoongi's P.O.V.

As I walked back home, I couldn't help but smile, thinking back to my time spent with Ae-Young. I felt free, like I could be like myself.

Recently, the public has been really harsh on myself and the guys. We're all currently stressed out by the media. It hasn't been kind to us since word of Namjoon's soulmate got around. We've all been more careful and cautious with our actions.

But today, I felt like I could breathe a bit. It was refreshing to be in Ae-Young's company. I felt more relaxed today than I have since this whole situation arose.

The only moment where I didn't feel completely relaxed, was that one moment when I left Ae-Young's side at the shop. Just a minute after leaving her, I felt my heart race slightly. I thought maybe something was wrong with Ae-Young, so I went back to her.

Just when I walked up, I noticed she was looking at this staff member. It was probably that person she was talking about beforehand. I guessed that was the reason for the quickened heart rate, so I got her attention as a distraction.

I didn't want to quiz her or anything, but I am still curious as to what happened. Should I have asked? It doesn't matter now anyways.

I shook my head lightly, trying to forget about it as I walked into the building. I quickly went up the stairs and to my room, wanting nothing more than to change into something snug and warm.

I glanced at my phone after hearing it go off from a notification. I unlocked it and quickly tapped on it once I saw it was from Ae-Young.

-

Ae-Young: 42 high fives.

Ae-Young: It takes 42 high fives until energy can be gained from your soulmate.

Ae-Young: I'm both shocked, but really not surprised that a study was ACTUALLY found on this.

I smiled widely while reading the texts. She remembered. I honestly forgot we talked about this. So many things have happened since, I'm surprised she didn't forget too.

After thinking back on the memory, I headed towards our common area, wanting to see how everyone is doing. The moment I did, I heard a loud shouting voice followed by another cheering.

"Again? Really?" Taehyung whined, sinking into the ground as Jungkook high-fived Hoseok. "Seriously Jungkook, you have to give me a chance here."

"What can I say?" Jungkook began, shrugging his shoulders. "Mario Kart is just my thing..."

I walked past them, shaking my head at how funny they were being. Taehyung was now just lying on the ground, pouting cause he lost the game. His dramatics got a giggle out of Jungkook, who lay down on top of him in an attempt to cheer him up.

"Hyung!" I heard Jimin's voice shout. Not a second later, I felt him wrap his arms around me in a hug. "You have to save us from Jungkook!"

"Oh?" I simply replied, raising an eyebrow. "And why's that?"

"You know, Jungkook stuff." Jimin whined. I couldn't help but smile after hearing our Maknae argue back that he couldn't help that he was amazing at Mario Kart. "Not just Mario Kart, it's EVERYTHING!"

I began to slowly walk away as I heard the three youngest bicker playfully amongst each other. As I did, I my eyes wandered around the room searching for Namjoon, but I couldn't find him.
