Bonded: A Min Yoongi x OC Soulmate AU

74

"So, you gonna tell me what's been on your mind or...?" Crystal asks, casually dribbling the basketball in her hand.

This was their last full day in Korea before they'd catch their flight to London for the next few shows and Yoongi thought he'd done a good job acting normal, but he should've known that he could never hide anything from his soulmate. She'd see right through his best poker face.

"What do you mean?" he asks, stealing the ball from her and going for a lay up on the goal they had mounted above the garage.

Victorious, he smirks, but it drops when he turns around and sees his soulmate with her arms crossed, her face very much telling him to cut the shit. He makes his way over to her, the ball resting on his hip.

"I mean what I said, and if you don't want to tell me then just say that; but don't deny that you've been thinking pretty heavily about something," she says, pushing the ball through the opening his arm made and starting to dribble it again.

They had fun, relaxing family time the day before—ending it in a family paint and sip as well as using the telescope to see the constellations. It was great, but Crystal noticed that a few things were off, starting with his absentmindedness.

"I mean, I know it must not be too bad. This is a bit of a reach, but does my mom know about it? Both of y'all have the same energy right now," she says, looking over at her mother, who was planting flowers with the kids.

Yoongi cursed himself in his head for freezing, all the words he'd rehearsed incase she questioned him flying right out of his mind. His mouth opens and closes, his reaction her confirmation.

"Ah, so both of you are hiding something big if you're so tight lipped about it. What am I gonna have to do? Play you for answers?" she asks, propping the ball on her hip.

Getting some semblance of normalcy back, he scoffs; looking at her up and down.

"All you've done is dribble since you've been out here Crys. Besides, what your mom and I talk about isn't just my business to tell," he says, attempting to knock the ball through her arm like she'd done him earlier.

She anticipates it though and bounces it behind her back, catching it in the opposite hand and dribbling it at a medium pace.

"Then better odds for you right? And I'm sure you two have no business without me being involved so...can I at least get a hint? I'm not big on surprises so I hope this isn't where this is going," she says, backing away from him, her other arm extended to guard the ball.

"I wouldn't call it that," he says, stealing the ball from her and going for another lay up.

"Then what would you call it?" she asks, recovering the ball and stepping back to make a shot that would've been a 2 pointer in a real game.

Yoongi recovers the ball this time, impressed with her speed.

"Something that's not mine to tell, like I said before," he says, dribbling out further on the paved surface before pulling up to make a shot that would've been a 3 pointer.

Crystal recovers the ball again, stepping back for another shot. The ball circles the rim before going in and she grabs the ball again, dribbling out the where he was.

"I can't tell if you're just being annoying or if this is something serious," she says, dodging an attempt he made to steal the ball.

He ignores her "question" as he successfully steals the ball, making her huff and chase after him. All in, he goes for another shot, but Crystal manages to block it last minute right before it gets to the goal. Seeing him coming at her, she holds the ball close to her and pivots—faking left, but going right instead and making her first lay up and still maintaining control of the ball.
