The meeting commenced, and Bang PD took the initiative to break the ice. He introduced himself as well as their managers.

"Annheonghaseyo, jeoneun Bang Shihyukimnida, " he introduced himself with a polite smile, extending his hand for a handshake, "You can just call me Bang PD, and I'm the CEO of Bighit Entertainment."

"I'm Ashlynn Reed; nice to meet you," I said confidently, giving a firm handshake.

My Mom says never to give a loose handshake because it depicts how confident you are; the firmer the better.

Even the managers piped up to introduce themselves.

"Well, I'm glad to have you here as our Golden Maknae's Soulmate, " he said in fluent English, "Jungkookie grew up so fast." The look in his eyes might be described as the one a proud father might have.

Everyone seemed to accept me, or at least they had a smile that didn't look fake. Everyone in this damn room was happy except for one single person who had a permanent scowl plastered on his face.
Exactly my soulmate, Jeon Jungkook.

Ever since I entered the meeting room, he had sunk into the chair, folding his against his broad chest with a long face like a spoiled brat.

As the meeting proceeded, Bang PD kept stealing glances at the youngest member of the group. I didn't miss the way his eyebrows quirked up in a question to Namjoon, who let out an exasperated sigh.

But Jungkook kept dodging his gaze and went on with his ignoring my presence. It was as if he didn't even want to acknowledge the fact that I, for a reason shared the same space as the other people and himself in the room and too breathed the same fucking air as them.

Now I know how Bella Swan felt when she was ignored by Edward Cullen on the first day of school and the very first biology lab in the movie Twilight.

Do I smell? Or perhaps I reek of sweat?

I don't think that's the case. Forget about me being his soulmate at least consider me as a damn human being.

Jungkook didn't even spare a single fucking glance; it infuriated me. If our bond wasn't so fragile, he could feel it.

It feels so damn awful that the only person because of whom you're stuck in an unfamiliar country is trying his best to ignore you.

And lemme tell you, he succeeded as well.

Damn, who the hell will make him understand that I didn't decide to get teleported to a country across the globe.

During the meeting, Pd Nim inquired me about my studies and was intrigued to know that I study Soulmate Sciences. Also, he promised to make arrangements to continue my education in Seoul. He asked about my family background so that he could make arrangements for the NDAs to be signed.

Of course, I was expecting it because the world is unknown to the fact that five of the Bts Members already have soulmates. I understand the need to keep their personal life secure.

"It'll be just my Mom, brother, and my 2 Bestfriends, " I informed, and he nodded in acknowledgment.

The rest of the meeting went smoothly, they explained the upcoming schedule for the guys.

Before we dispersed Pd Nim didn't forget to inform me that the company will schedule me to register myself in the Soulmate Council and also to book a ticket to go back to America and grab my stuff. Reporting in Soulmate Council helps the World Organization to keep a record of the bonded people within the World Population.
