SOUL } BTS

SOUL } 10

They all looked to me, and I hummed softly. "The question is who, not if you can." I say, and they all look at each other. "Rock, Paper, Scissors?" Taehyung asks, and Yoongi shakes his head. "I want to, I saw her second." Yoongi says, and Taehyung scrunches his nose. 

"What about us?" Jin asks, pointing to him and Jungkook. Namjoon rolls his eyes at the childishness of them all. I turn to Hoseok. "Who should go next?" I ask softly, tugging on his sleeve. He shrugs. "I wanna watch 'em fight." He jibes, and I elbow him, making him laugh. Namjoon turns to me now.

"Who do you want to Bond with next, Ara?" He asks, and everyone quiets down. Everyone's just watching me. I feel myself flush red. "Well, I don't know! Aren't you all my soulmates? How am I supposed to choose between you all?" I ask, and Hoseok sighs.

"Okay, I have an idea!" Jimin says. He grins. "Look, everyone line up." He says, and they listen to Jimin with a soft look on their faces. They line up horizontally, and Jimin walks closer to me. "Close your eyes now." He says, and I listen. "Now, everyone shuffle. She'll choose who." He says, and I hear the sound of them randomizing themselves. I keep my eyes shut, putting one hand over my eyes.

"They're done, go- choose." Jimin hums happily at his little game. I don't move and I take in their presences. My feet start moving themselves, and I feel my lips art in surprise. I move left, but not too left. My feet stop moving, and I keep my eyes closed and I put my head down.

"Him." I said, and I heard a few groans. "Look." Hoseok said, and I opened my eyes to see Yoongi standing right in front of me. His eyes twinkle as he looks at me. I step back, and look at the other boys. "I'm sorry." I mumble, and I feel Jimin's arms wrap around me from behind. "It's okay, Ara, it was the spirits that moved you." 

He winks and I nod- Yoongi just chuckles. He puts his hand out, and as much as I want to, I shake my head. "You guys should practice first." I say, but Namjoon clears his throat. "Personally, I think that whoever is going through the Process should be excused from practice." He says, and Yoongi grins. 

"Please?" He asks, and I look at the other boys for confirmation. They nod, and I put my hand up. Yoongi and I slowly bring together our palms, and I feel it. It's a weird fuzzy feeling, and he closes his eyes and hums. "It really is true, then?" He asks softly, and his eyes open. He pulls his hand back curiously and hisses, putting his hand back quickly. My eyes widen for a second. "I didn't feel it." I say, and he looks at me with a confused face. "What?" He asks. I pull my hand back, making him wince, and I wiggle my fingers. Then I grab his hand again, relieving his pain. "Thank god." I mutter, and he scrunches his nose then.

"Is this some kind of joke?" He asks, looking up and probably talking to the spirits. I intertwine my fingers with his, and he looks down at our hands. Then he drops our hands, and looks at Jimin and Hoseok. "I see why you hid her." He says softly.

Hoseok hums. "Well, you're coming to practice to watch, right? I don't think I could focus without her there." Hoseok says to Yoongi, and Yoongi sighs softly. "Fine." He says, and looks down to our hands again. "You're quite small." Yoongi says, looking down at me. "You're, what, 8 or 10 centimeters taller than me?" I snicker, and he pats me on the head. 

"Jinnie I'm hungry." Jimin says, his eyes now on Seokjin. Seokjin laughs. "Okay, I'll make you food." He says, and then turns to us. "You hungry, Ara?" He asks softly, meeting my eyes, and I nod. "Any requests?" He asks, grinning as Hoseok starts talking with Namjoon and Jimin.

I shake my head. "Just no meat, please. I'm vegetarian." I say, and he smiles softly. "Cute, yeah sure. I'll make you vegetarian breakfast." Jin says, and turns promptly around to go make food in the kitchen. I look to Yoongi's face, and he's just gazing at our hands, quite like Jimin did. "You okay?" I ask softly, and his gaze turns to my face. He nods, his eyes still twinkling. "You know what's cool about a soulmate, Yoongi?" I ask, and he shakes his head slightly. "What's cool?" He asks, in his low and calm voice.

"Soulmates want what's best for you, and they don't want to hurt you. You have to realize that, okay?" I suggest, and he nods. "Okay. Will do." He says.
