Epiphany | BTSxReader Soulmate AU

Chapter 33

^^^^ This was gold!

BTS POV

Everyone had split into vocals and rap line for the afternoon to work on separate songs. It was at times like these that everyone appreciated how much Bighit had grown, and how great it was that they could work in separate studios at the same time. The amount of work and practice that could be done had at least doubled because of this. There was a downside, being the fact that the group of soulmates had to separate for a few hours, but they were all used to it by now. Everyone was secure in the knowledge that at the end of the day they would end up together again (even though that sometimes meant 2am thanks to certain members).

"Do you think Y/n is on the way to the interview now?" asked Jimin.

"Most likely," replied Jin. "Namjoon mentioned that the interviews would be after lunch. I wouldn't expect them to wait too long before actually starting it."

Jungkook, who had been doing some vocal runs with Taehyung paused for a moment to join in on the conversation. "Did you guys feel that anxious spike in the bond? I'm guessing Sejin went and grabbed Y/n to start the interview."

"She hasn't really calmed down yet either." added Taehyung as he draped himself over Jimin. Jungkook mirrored his actions by hugging Jin from behind, resting his chin on Jin's shoulder.

"Why is she anxious so often hyung?" asked Jungkook. "It feels like the moment anything happens she turns into a giant ball of nervous energy."

"Even when she's not a giant ball of nervous energy there's always this kind of low thrum of wariness in the bond." added Jimin, sadly stroking Taehyung's hand.

"Trauma?" supplied Taehyung. Everyone could see the sadness in his eyes at the word; they didn't need to bond to feel it.

"Taehyung is correct. Most likely, it's trauma." agreed Jin. Jungkook tightened his arms around Jin at the confirmation.

"Do you think Y/n will ever get past it?" asked Jungkook. All he really wanted was for Y/n to be comfortable in her own skin, relaxed enough around them to be herself. He wanted her to be able to laugh and smile around them; share secrets and cry with them. The fact that she couldn't hurt more than she would ever know.

"One day she will Kookie. It will be slow, and sometimes it will feel like for every step forward we take she takes two steps back. One day, with us all there by her side to support her, she will get there." said Jin confidently.

"Don't worry. Kook. Just like you guys were all here for me when I really needed you, we'll be there for Y/n" said Jimin.

"All you need is a little faith." added Taehyung. That's all anyone really needed, a little faith.

Y/N POV

"Just in here Y/n." said Sejin as he opened the door and gestured you through. Looking around the room you could see quite a few people, most of which were unfamiliar. A couple of them you thought were some of BTS managers, some looked like upper management (cause who else would bother wearing suits that expensive to work) and the final three you were guessing were translators. After a long round of introductions (where you discovered you had guessed correctly) everyone got down to business.

"What's going to happen Y/n is each of these three people will test you on your written, aural and spoken skills in Korean, Japanese and Mandarin. We're testing you Korean as well as the other two as you haven't been in Korea very long from what I've heard. Being a native English speaker, we're going to assume your English is satisfactory. That's what your university transcript you included in your resume indicates. Are you ready to start?" asks Sejin.
