Sangmi's POV:

"Renjun, I'm so nervous, I don't know what to do!" I complained and he sighed, before grabbing my hand. He squeezed it and gave me a reassuring smile.

"You already talked to Donghyuck, the rest aren't that bad." Renjun reassured me with another squeeze and I nodded, taking a deep breath. "I can do this, it's not like we're meeting your parents or something." I told myself, still trying to calm myself down.

"Yet." He smirked slightly and I hit him with my free hand, which he grabbed as well, making us walk in a pretty weird position.

"Hey! Let go!" I couldn't help but laugh a bit and he shook his head, still keeping my hands in a tight grip.

"You're such a weird kid, I swear." He grinned at me, before shrugging his shoulders and he let go of my right hand again.

"You're stuck with me, so better get used to it." He replied smugly, making me sigh.

"I could always.. Un-soulmate you!" I joked, which made him laugh and he shook his head once again. I looked away from my soulmate and looked at the big building that had appeared in front of me.

Stopping dead in my tracks, I gaped at the building, which only made a laugh leave him again, before he grabbed my arm and dragged me inside.

"You like.. Work here?" My question made him shrug as we walked down the halls.
"You could say that, though I just practice here and film sometimes." He explained to me, making me nod slowly and he stopped in front of a door.

Just as he was about to open it, I stopped him, making him give me a confused look.

"What's wron-?"

"I just have to get ready!" I exclaimed with a deep breath and he chuckled, before nodding his head.

We stood for about a minute, when I nodded at him and he let the both of us in.

"Sangmi!" My eyes widened as my eyes landed on Jeno and I let go of Renjun's hand. I ran up to him, before pulling him into a short hug and he laughed, pulling away.

"You- We.. What?" My confusion had gotten the best of me and I heard someone clear their throat, making me feel slightly embarrassed. I smiled awkwardly and bowed at the unfamiliar guys in the room, before introducing myself.

"Hello, my name is Sangmi and I'm Renjun's soulmate." I felt someone walk up beside me, which turned out to be Renjun and he nodded his head.

"Yeah.. My soulmate." He mumbled and I spotted Donghyuck who ran up to me.

"Hey, Donghyuck!" I smiled at him and I felt Renjun wrap his arm around my waist, which made my face heat up.

We had held hands before, but this was something new.

"Ah, kids. Let's introduce ourselves." A guy with slightly pink hair said and stood up. He bowed as the others stood up and he sent me a grin.

"Nice to meet you, I'm the oldest Mark." With a smile, I nodded my head and I felt the eyes of someone boring into the side of my face.

"Do you.. Remember? I'm Chenle!" Nodding my head, I greeted the younger boy, who smiled cutely at me and Renjun sighed.
"You know him as well?" Not turning to him, I nodded my head as the next one bowed and he introduced himself as Jaemin.

"I'm Jisung, the youngest." The blonde guy introduce himself and sat down.

"Well judging by the way you greeted Donghyuck and Jeno, I guess you know them already." Mark exclaimed, making me laugh slightly.

"Yeah.."

"When did you meet?" Renjun asked me, but something was off, his voice sounded a bit darker than usual, but he didn't look mad one bit.

"We met some days ago." Jeno explained to Renjun and Chenle nodded his head.
Renjun said something in Chinese, probably directed towards Chenle and the younger boy nodded his head, making Renjun nod as well.

"Are you, like, really close?" He kept asking them questions and I raised my eyebrows at him, making him shrug his shoulders.

"No way, is Renjun jealous? That's the first." Donghyuck teased Renjun, who glared at him and turned his attention to Jeno, who shrugged.

"We're friends.."

Renjun mumbled something under his breath, before nodding and I grabbed his hand.

"Sangmi, right? What do you like to do?" Mark asked, or I think it was Mark.

"I.. What do I like to do?" I asked mostly to myself, making Jeno chuckle and Renjun frowned slightly.

"I remember you telling me that you like to draw." Jeno told me and I nodded my head, instantly remembering.

"So you've told him that. You haven't told me that." I looked towards Renjun, only making him look the other direction and I sighed.

"You know a lot more about me. They don't know much." He turned his head towards me again and raised an eyebrow.
"They? Oh yeah, you met Chenle as well.." He mumbled and Donghyuck cleared his throat.

"You like drawing.. Anything else?" He tilted his head to the side and I looked at Renjun, before shrugging.

"Did I tell you something? I can't remember what else I like." He thought for a few seconds.

"You like aquariums."

"Oh yeah, you told me that!" Jeno exclaimed, making Renjun frown again and look away once again.
"Of course, she did." This time it was my turn to frown.

With Renjun acting like this, it was going to be an awkward day.

Deciding it would be better not to make him more upset, I started asking them questions instead, but it didn't seem like Renjun got any happier.

"I'll be right back." Renjun stood up, but before I could ask him what was wrong, he was already out the door and I looked at the guys, who seemed just as surprised as I was.

We sat there for a few more seconds, just staring at each other, until Mark nodded his head for me to follow him and I stood up.

"Go fix whatever happened. Take as much time as you guys need, we aren't in a hurry." He said with a smile and Donghyuck looked at him weirdly.

"We aren't?" I laughed slightly and thanked Mark, before bolting out of the room to look for my upset soulmate.
