Soulmates

Him 💙

~Hobi's POV of the first chapters~

We were sitting on the living room floor, gathered around a board game. The house was full of couples, it was one of our rare off days and we were spending it well.

I was playing a game with the maknae line. Jimin and Taehyung with their soulmates, and Jungkook clearly wasn't paying attention to the game.

This was because it was September 15th and Jungkook had just gotten the ability of talking to his soulmate. It had been distracting him for the past two weeks, he was always trying to find time to write.

I couldn't blame him, I would have acted the exact same way if I had ever received a message. It's been 3 years and I've never gotten any mark on my skin except my own.

At first it wasn't that big of a deal, my soulmate was probably just younger than me. Yoongi hyung had to wait 8 months before his soulmate was able to see his messages. Joon had to wait a year. So waiting wasn't a big deal to me. Then after about the second year I still didn't have any messages.

I really started thinking I didn't have a soulmate, and that's how I have continued feeling. I've accepted it I guess, but it still upsets me. What's so wrong with me that I don't deserve a soulmate?

I felt an itch on my arm and absentmindedly scratched it, still thinking about how I was soulmateless. The game had ended a minute or so ago and the boys were cleaning it up. We hadn't realized how late at night it was, after midnight.

I stood up to get a drink and heard Seulgi squeal.

"Are you okay Seulgi?" Jimin asked immediately, worried about his soulmate.

Her eyes wide and a big smile on her face she pointed at me, but the only thing that came out of her mouth was my name. All of the boys turned to me, their confused faces matching how I was feeling.

Shortly after they looked at me all of their expressions turned to the same one as Seulgi. Still confused I just looked at them before being swept up in a big group hug. I was still confused when they pulled away.

"You have a soulmate Hobi"

"They wrote you"

"They probably just turned 18"

Multiple comments were coming out of their mouths at the same time. I managed to catch the words soulmate, write, and 18.

Realizing that I was still confused, Yoongi Hyung quieted everyone down before telling me what was going on.

I looked down and saw the writing on my wrist.

"Hi are you still awake?"

I smiled at the message and I felt tears welling up in my eyes. I had a soulmate. There is someone for me, there wasn't anything wrong with me.

This caused another group hug to ensue and lots of ushering to write back. It's been about 20 minutes since it showed up and I don't want them to accidentally fall asleep. I grab a red marker next to the couch and wrote back.

"Hi!!! Did you just turn 18?"

The boys and their partners congratulated me, then teased me. Telling me that I was gonna end up like Kook, constantly trying to write messages to my soulmate. It didn't affect me though because they were absolutely right, and besides I had found a new message on my arm.

We all seperated to our rooms, me laying in bed with a lamp on, talking to my new found soulmate. It was a girl, she had just turned 18, her favorite color was y/f/c and she lived in South Korea.

I didn't know much about her but it was enough, just the feeling of her being there was enough. The last thing I thought before falling asleep was that she was definitely worth the wait.

I got up the next day, getting ready and deciding not to message my soulmate because she was probably asleep and I didn't want to wake her up.

I was tying my converse when I felt a familiar stroke on my skin. I looked down and saw she had messaged me. I guess she wasn't asleep.

We talked most of the morning, I was about to tell her I had to go when she wrote me again.

"I have to go, work is calling. I probably won't be able to talk most of the day :("

I smiled at her little sad face, the way she ended most of her messages with emojis was the cutest thing.

"That's okay, I'm busy today too. We can talk later :)"

I write back to her as I head into the recording studio.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~'~~~~~~~~~

I finally finish recording my part and decide to go to the dance room, changing into some shorts and a t-shirt.

All of the boys are already there, just goofing off or dancing to random songs. We didn't have to record our dance practice video until later so we had a little free time.

I joined in with their crazy dancing and some of the staff took videos to post on our official account.

I stopped when I felt the tickle on my thigh. I had felt something weird a few times already but just decided to ignore it, my soulmate said she was busy so it wasn't gonna be a message.

But the feeling was familiar and I caught a glimpse of pink writing on my leg in the mirror when I danced. I walked towards the wall and sat down, rolling my pant leg up to see what was written there.

The boys came over to see what was going on and they smiled just as much as I did when they saw the doodles taking form on my leg. I read the writing, and I was right, it wasn't a message. It looked like she was brainstorming something. Words were written in random spots and cute doodles were drawn around the words.

It was mesmerizing to see the ink appear on my skin. Its almost like I was getting a front row ticket to how her brain works. I loved it. I loved the feeling of being attached to someone by some unexplainable force. And I loved seeing how she thought and worked.

I wasn't sure what her job was, if this is what she was doing, but I didn't care. I knew I'd have to wear pants instead of the shorts I was planning on wearing for our video later, but I didn't care. I could watch her doodles show up on my skin all day long and never get tired of it. I loved this feeling so much.
