Cursed Fate

Chapter 19- Breakfast date

JIN POV:

The breakfast date was a great idea, hopefully (Y/N) wouldn't object to it, it was the first time she'd be seen with all of together outside the house. But we didn't intend on going to a busy populated place, I picked up on her nerves whenever I had talked to her at campus and they only seemed to grow the more time she could possibly be seen with us.

I couldn't help but take a photo of the cutest scene I'd laid eyes on, (Y/N) and Tae were wearing a couple pyjama set and she was nestled close to his chest. It seemed like her subconscious was calling for her to accept the bond or she was hesitant in being bombarded by seven bonds all at once- it wasn't a common occurrence that someone had seven soulmates and that too found them all at once.

The breakfast date was also an excuse to order a lot of food, it worried me that (Y/N) had lost weight because of the negative effects of not having bonded, it had taken a physical toll on her body and I didn't want her cheeks to loose their fullness and I wanted her eyes to be rid of the dark circles. I was going to make sure she was well rested and well fed, that was the very least I could do for her.

Also, it allowed me to see what types of food she preferred even though her face looked ashamed at the table that became crowded with countless dishes that were being brought over. It was just a way of learning more about our soulmate and I knew it wasn't only my eyes fixed on her, everyone seemed to be adding to her plate, smiles fixed on their lips as she managed to clear a portion off or ate what they had put on it. We fed each other; forks being brought to each other's lips. My hands ached to feed (Y/N), for her to accept food that I brought up to her mouth, to behave similarly towards her in the same manner we all treated each other.

But whatever thought I had of rejection or fear of pushing her into our habits too quickly fell when I saw Taehyung bring the last piece of his waffle dolloped with cream and strawberries speared onto his fork and brought it to her mouth. To my surprise and everyone else's she just met his eyes and opened her mouth allowing him to slip it inside. Her lips shut around the food as Tae slid the fork back and chewed on it. There was a slight smear of cream on the edge of her lips and I watched as Tae's finger wiped it clean. I was sure I wasn't imagining it but (Y/N) leaned into the touch, plump lips pressing into the pad of his fingertip. I looked at everyone's expressions and they seemed as shock as I was, Tae included but surprise gave way to warmth and smiles, Tae's face breaking into his boxy grin as he stared back at her, leaning forward ever so slightly.

Her cheeks took on a rosy hue, but she didn't move away, we all got up heading to the counter to pay but it was (Y/N) who stepped forward quickly before anyone of us could register and asked for the bill. It was the first date we took (Y/N) on and here she was paying, it didn't sit right but I also knew we weren't going to be winning this argument, I'd just have to find ways to coddle and spoil her elsewhere.

The man standing behind the counter processing the payment couldn't keep his eyes off her, gaze lingering on her face, the way her hair fell over her shoulders, her collarbones on display from the loose fit of the top she was wearing and her rosy cheeks. It didn't set well with me, it didn't sit well with any of us, protective streaks kicking in and I wanted nothing more than to hide her behind my back.

Her hand came up to tuck a strand behind her ear and I watched as his eyes trailed her movements, more focused on her than on registering that she had paid.

"Thank you." (Y/N) bowed her head slightly, smiling before turning around, the gap she'd left immediately being filled by Hobi who covered (Y/N)'s figure from view. The others crowded around her, walking with her as they left, and I watched as Hobi's usually cheerful disposition vanished and a cold rage filled him.

"Keep your filthy eyes off our soulmate." He spat before spinning on his feet and grabbing my arm as he tugged me along.

I couldn't help but smirk at the shocked and slightly fearful expression on the guy's face.
