The few days later

You thought you'd be able to sleep late and just enjoy a day of solitude while Jimmy was preparing to meet his friends the coming weekend. He will take a short flight to Seoul with one of his bodyguards that accompanied you to South Korea. Your final shoot went well, and you and your agency were so pleased. You could enjoy a few days of rest.

After you spoke to Jungkook a few days ago, you felt so excited and weightless. Nothing could spoil your mood, not even Jimmy with his whining. You had dinner and lunch with him every day, and you needed a bit of alone time. Lisa also called you four times just to find out how you were doing.

You genuinely like Lisa and hope you'll have time to attend Blackpink's show in the US. Perhaps you could bring the entire model squad with you. So, Bella and Gigi are really into Twice and Gfriend, while Kylie and Kendall are big fans of Blackpink too. You never cared for girl groups; only BTS was on your radar, but you heard Blackpink's songs, and they're dope.

You were all shocked when you heard from Kylie that there was apparently a fifth member of the group. Jisoo had a twin sister who frequently switched roles. But this twin was more famous for acting, and she's a businesswoman also, apart from singing now and then with BP when the real Jisoo was ill or unwell. She's a Dior ambassador, and she has numerous cosmetic campaigns as well.

Your mom surprised you with a new project. You were sitting in the dinette area, eating a succulent English breakfast.

Your face is bare but glowing from the previous spa treatment. You and your mom went for a Korean beauty treatment, and you must say those two hours were so relaxing and worth it.

Your model squad called and expressed a desire to learn more about your shoot in a discreet manner. Your lunch date with your Blackpink friend was widely publicized on social media.

You just smirk. Typical girlfriends.

All social platforms were experiencing a surge in popularity, and the internet was ablaze with excitement. Following Lisa and Jungkook's dating scandal, and with you at the center of the controversy, it was a refreshing sight for the netizens to see you two together, both relaxed and free. There was no sign of jealousy or rivalry between you two.

Gigi: Woah, girl, dish it out! Are Lisa and Kookie finally
over?

Kendall: Man, I sincerely hope they don’t get back together. He’s totally into you.

Bella: Can we talk about your outfit? Girl, you were slaying!

Kaia: Lisa is super cute! She’s probably super bummed that the adorable dude ditched her.

You just shook your head as you remembered the text from your friends. They were eager to know about the two of you.

You just smirk and type back on your phone.

Well, you do know we are real friends. Lisa is very kind, and she is genuinely in love with Jungkook. And...I don't want to be involved in their love drama. I had enough of my own.

Bella: What's happening, cutie?

Kaia: I bet it's Jimmy. He looked like a big, cuddly bear in your airport photos. Your arrival at Busan Airport had a lot of buzz.

Gigi: Are you okay, bestie? You looked so exhausted in those pics. How was the LV shoot?

You: Jimmy is just Jimmy! He's being his super clingy self, but I'm really hoping he comes back home soon! Momanger, Law, and I are going to be in Busan for another two weeks! Adventuring! The shoot was absolutely marvelous! It was just the paparazzi who discovered our shooting spot, and some fans showed up out of curiosity!

Bella: Have the most wonderful vacation ever! You totally need it, girl! Jimmy can definitely be a challenge at times!

You: Aww... he didn't even want me to have lunch with Lisa. He pouted that I'm not paying enough attention to him.

Kaia: Why does it seem like he's a little bit emotionally manipulative? What if you find your soulmate?

You: I'm not sure how I'm going to spill the beans. Jimmy wants me to say no to my soulmate if we’re even a little bit connected, like a blue string.

Kylie: What in the world! Oh, no way! That's not going to happen! He should appreciate the opportunity to date you. Jungkook is a much better catch and far more famous than he is!

You grin.

You: Hey friends, can we please stop? Kookie and I are just pals, you know! And don’t forget about that adorable guy I met last year in Seoul! He was such a sport at the Allure shoot! So, his name is Felix, and he asked me out for a cute little coffee date!

Kendall: Yo, girl! With Jimmy there, it's exciting! Is it possible to consider going out with someone else when Jimmy feels quite jealous and insecure?

You: Jimmy will be leaving by Friday, and my date is on Friday afternoon! I already told him that I have a super fun appointment with a friend from a fashion magazine!

Kaia: Aww, okay! I sincerely hope he doesn’t find out! Oh my gosh, that would be so awkward! So, what are your plans for the weekend? You might want to keep it a secret that you could spend the day with Jungkook if everything goes just right to see him!

You: Just chilling' with my momma!

Kendall: Did you hear? Bangtan might be back home from their tour for a little break before they hit the road again! Oh my goodness, I truly wish I could be in Seoul right now! It would be so wonderful to see them again!

You: Yay for them! But I'm not in Seoul, cutie! So, I’ll just check them out on social media or their local news!

Gigi: The girl passed on some super cute pics of the places you visited! Maybe later this year, Zayn and I can go on a lovely little vacation in Korea!

You: Okay, but you have to get to Busan! Busan boasts incredibly beautiful beaches! You just have to come in the summertime! The weather is getting chilly now! I'm overjoyed to have completed my shoot! I've got an amazing, exciting interview with a magazine, so I might score some more fun projects while I'm here!

Kaia: Alrighty! I hope you had the best time on your working vacation, but please stay safe, okay?

Bella: Yup, we’re going to be super busy getting ready for the Victoria’s Secret show! Gigi and I are going to be on the same runway! Yay! I'm thrilled to announce that I've secured bookings for three fashion weeks! We look so adorable these days! I'm walking for Oscar de la Renta, Fendi, and Dior!

You: You go, girls! I'm cheering for you!

Kylie: Yup! 😊 They’re going to totally nail it! It looks like our family might get another season to film The Kardashians! I'm having a super fun campaign for Kylie Skin products! Who knows, my beauty line might just sail me into billionaire land and join the legacy club! Oh, it's such a bummer you couldn't make it to my little Stormie's 1st birthday! Her dad made it super-duper famous! But we know you're super busy!

You: Don't worry, I watch the footage Kendall sent me. You rock. It was so extravagant, and that was for a baby. Travis truly came through for Stormie. You, Kendell?

Kendell: Oh, I'm already booked for Milan Fashion Week. I'll be modeling for Versace and for Burberry at London Fashion Week. So we all will be super busy. I still have my Calvin Klein campaign next week. So I'm not going to be so visible on social media.

You all are so busy, and you, Kaya?

Kaia: I'm going to be busy during Milan Fashion Week. I will be walking for both Fendi and Versace. I'm going to Paris to walk for Chanel and Valentino.

Gigi: Wow! All of us will be busy with Fashion Weeks. I have been booked for New York Fashion Week to walk for Tom Ford, and I'll be jetting to Paris to walk for Chanel and Balmain. I've got an ad campaign for Reebok and Vogue eyewear.

Bella: Will you be at any fashion weeks? So that we can get together if we are on the same schedule?

You: I might be at Paris Fashion Week with my collab with Tommy Hilfiger. My agency booked me a few magazine covers with three fashion houses. I'm not so sure which one...and my biggest anticipation is the Spider-Man movie that will be on the circuit in July.

Kendall: Aww, don’t worry! By then, we can all go and watch the movie premiere together! It's going to be totally awesome!

You: I sincerely hope so!

Kylie: It's possible that you'll succumb to the acting bug and secure additional roles, potentially including a TV gig!

You: I'm just super duper busy for that! I want to focus on making producing a bit! My dad wants to bring me into the family business! I might be getting credit for producing a super cool track on his new rising rapper artist, Park Jia's album!

Gigi: Aww, isn't she Bruno Mars' new girlfriend? We're not entirely sure! If so, they keep it super low-key! Well, I'm not really sure! 😉

Kendall: Well, gosh! Social media is buzzing with rumors of the two getting together! He actually broke up with his long-time girlfriend to be with someone else. Bruno is a little tarnished too!

You: I really have no idea! Let's wait until they reveal the truth about those rumors themselves! 🙀

Kaia! Oh gosh, we definitely don’t want to take up your time, Daya! Have the best time on your working vacation! I'll keep in touch! Nope, everyone will find time for the models squad chat room! Our next lunch date will be my treat! Yay!

Kylie: Oh, how lovely! I'm picking the venue this time? You: Aww, you all can take care of everything until I get back to NYC!

Gigi: Stay safe, and let us know if you meet a sweet Korean friend later!

You: Oh, I truly wish! The beauty standard here is totally wild! The people here resemble fashion models as they go about their daily lives, and the abundance of cosmetic clinics and surgeries is truly astounding! We spotted two girls strutting around with cute little Band-Aids on their noses, showing off their fancy style! I'm super excited to check out their beauty shops!

Kylie: You just love beauty! You should totally save up some pennies to grab some of my adorable new skincare line!

You: Aww, you know I'm always here cheering you on, but can you give me a sec to finish my breakfast, please? My mom is giving me the most intense stare ever! I'm not allowed to use my phone during lunchtime!

Bella: Alrighty! Love you! Take care, cutie!

Kylie: Bye, cutie!

Kendall: Take care, sweetie!

Gigi: Toodly-doo!

Kaia: Be safe and take care, cutie!

You all signed off and left the chat.

Your hair was in a high, messy bun. Your eyes widen as you see your mom entering. She looked refreshed in cute jeans and a printed shirt. Her golden blonde hair is in a beautiful chignon. Her demeanor looked so hyped up. You discreetly placed your phone in your denim shorts. You don't feel ready for a tongue-lashing.

Your mom looked up and smiled, closing her phone as she sat across from you.

"Morning, darling. Gosh, I slept so well in a strange bed. How was your rest?" She looked around and quickly strolled slowly to the breakfast table, where all the food was on display. She poured herself a mug of coffee and took a chocolate-coated croissant topped with cheese and marmalade.

"Oh, I slept fairly well. Mom? Jimmy will be leaving on Friday morning for Seoul. His friends will meet him in Seoul. So I'll be free for this coming weekend." You chuckled, your voice carrying an excited tone.

Your mom's eyes lit up. I'm actually really pleased that he gives you time by yourself. He is getting a little too much. Your crew is losing patience, and we want him to go home already. No vacation will be relaxing with his blowing breath in our eyes. With all due respect, Daya, Jimmy is becoming a little problematic after he found out your somnolence is acting up."

You sighed as you sipped on your coffee! , "I'm so sorry, Mom, for tagging him along. But he really forced himself on our trip. Jungkook is coming home, and we arrange to meet in Jeju Island".

Your mom's eyes widen. "So, he is adamant to see you. Why in Jeju?"

You shrugged," He has a property there, and it's apparently very private. But Mom, I can't fly alone or go on the ferryy alone. I will attract too much attention alone.The paparazzi have already got me on their radar."

Your mom laughs, " Seems you're  getting famous in Korea because you got a new project. W Korea ' magazine wants an interview with you and some fashion shoots.. A famous local fashion designer wants you to model his newline"."

Your eyes widen. " Oh wow! When is that?"

Your mom opens her electronic diaryy and murmurs your schedule. You hope it's your only project here in South Korea.

Your mom too, her glasses and scan through her iPad," This afternoon. Don't worry...Law will be your stylist. They will sent a driver to pick us up. I'll forward you the possible interview questions to go through."

,"Oh thanks. It seems my schedule will be as busy as the model sqaurd. " You told your mom about your friends tight modelling schedules for the upcoming months. You are so tired, you just wanted to rest and enjoy your solitude without distractions. You told your mom that on Friday you might meet Felix for coffee as friends.

W Korea magazine is hoping to chat with you for a quick interview this afternoon. So, after you had a quick breakfast, you went over some potential questions... like your modelling and shoots in South Korea, what you thought about the country, your future projects, and that exciting acting role you have coming up in the Spiderman movie. Your management also received a driver to take them to the location.

They had an office right in the heart of Busan. They would snap a few photos to include in the spread. Seokwoon Yoon was this up-and-coming fashion designer who had just launched his own label, and he thought you would be the perfect model to show off his debut line in a fashion spread.

You felt really lucky to be part of his growth. You heard thar he is also the one who will dress the contestants of the coming Miss Korea Teen pageant. Your youthfulness and your glowing personality was part of your appeal. And the fact that it transpire your language fluency in Korean. Allure and Dazed magazine editors recommend you to him.

The afternoon was a blast. Seokwoon was charming and after the shoot were you've dressed in several flowing outfits, that you surprisingly loved. You and your management went out for lunch with the designer.

Jimmy and his bodyguard took a day off from you and decided to enjoy a boys day going to a national baseball match. You were so glad for that.

You felt so optimistic especially when you know Jimmy wouldn't be there for the coming weekend.

After your lovely Korean BBQ lunch, you came back to the hotel to rest and recoup.

You furrowed your brows when you saw some new post on Twitter. You and Lisa's video was trending again cause a korean tabloit repost it on this platform. You sighed deeply hoping it wasn't a full blown fan war. Between your fans and Blinks. The toxic fans cannot leave celebrities alone.

Where you sat on your bed without cut up fruit that your mom forced you to eat.

Your eyes scan through the tweets and you could just laugh. These people are so invested in others lives that you wonder if they forgot to live themselves. Where do they get the time to hate or comment all the time on other people's lives.

But you were pleasantly surprised by the positive response of the viral video. You and Lisa looked so friendly and you were taped laughing and making a lot of hand gestures. Like old friends not like love rivals for Jungkooks attention.

Your fans were blowing up the tweets.

@dayazone: Zendaya and Lisa having lunch like Queens at a 5 star hotel. What iconic behavior #lisazendaya #girl power

@BlinksforLisa: Wait what! So Lisa and Zendaya just casually lunching? Soft smiles and friendly gestures! Rivals I think not!

@ZendayasAngel: Wow Lisa just shut down those dating rumours by going to lunch with Zendaya. Friendship goals.

@LisaLoyal245: See our queen Lisais not saltyby listening to those haters. She is totally besties with Zendaya. No animosity. You go girls. Live your lives.

@BlinksUnite: They shouting loud were not 'competing we collaborating'.They just shut and end the fan wars.

@ZforZen: Women standing together. They look like sister for Vogue.

@fangirlforlife: I think plot twist...Lisa and Zendaya are secretly dating! Jungkook was just a smoke screen haha!

You burst out of laughter at the ridiculous claims.but at least it shut down the haters.Some think it was a brilliant PR move from YG and Zendayas agent Creative Artist Agency CAA.

After a refreshing shower, you've dressed yourself in your warm lounge wear and enjoy some kdramas , you started to binge watch on 'Love Alarm'.

You told your mom you'll be in your room. Jimmy wasn't back yet. He called you a while ago to inform you that they metnew friends and those guys wanted to introduce him and his bodyguard to the Busan night life. He wanted to come and get you,but you decline.

The night life scene was never your type of entertainment. You hope he'll be careful and not misbehave in a foreign country. Apparently they met some local celebrity sportsmen he at the game, some knew about American football and we're delighted to show him around.

The male celebrities wanted to know a out his beautiful model girlfriend that wasn't around. He told them you were having a shoot with 'W Korea.' and meeting fashion designers that wanted to book you.

Jungkook was back on homeground after they last show in Fukuoka and their arrival at the Incheon intl airport went viral.

The next morning, you and your crew headed to the hotel's magnificent restaurant for breakfast. After a well-earned night's sleep, you felt rejuvenated. After an amazing day with his new celebrity buddies, Jimmy arrived quite late the night before.

He seemed way more relaxed and less uptight thanks to your manager's chill vibe.

The four of you were seated at the panoramic windows overlooking the harbour. You looked at Jimmy, who appeared relaxed. He informed you about the match, the sports superstars he met, the BBQ they ate, and the karoake club and bar they visited. You are delighted he at least had a good time.

You smile while eating a piece of French toast and say, "I am glad you enjoy having some male company!"

Jimmy chuckled, "But it would have been even better if you were there with me. How about joining me in Seoul this weekend? It is going to be really exciting! You do not have anything scheduled for the weekend?

Discreetly, you looked up at your mother and said, "Er...rather not. Spending some quality time alone with your male buddies is ideal. I am confident you will be alright. I want to relax. Perhaps we can get together again." You casually say.

Jimmy furrowed his strong brows as he looked at you with calculated eyes," Which friends? I didn't know you had any friends here..." Than he raised his eyebrow looking at you with narrowed eyes," Are you meeting the popular?"

You looked at him with wide eyes, "Jimmy...why do you sound so grumpy? You’re off to see your friends, and I’m totally cheering you on! I have other friends besides the 'popstar'! And who is the 'popstar' you're talking about?" You said with irritation laced in your voice. Why is Jimmy like this? Did he only come with to keep you guarded. Was that his sole idea to keepwatch that you don't meet Bangtan ....mostly Jungkook!

Jimmy turned a little red and quickly sip his cuppachino , not meeting your eyes. You were looking intensely at him. The atmosphere around the table become tense as both your mom and Law looked at him curiously.

Jimmy smiled a little and took your hand in his, "I'm sorry, sweetheart. I really don’t want you to get caught up in all these kpop star shenanigans! Your super popular friend got you a bunch of online attention a few weeks ago! I'm just looking out for you, cutie! I just love you so much, and your reputation is super important! "

You chuckle totally aware that it’s not the complete story. Oh my gosh, Jimmy seems a little scared of Kookie! you can't help but wonder if he knows that BTS is back home! How exciting! They have two award shows they might go to, and Jungkook said they'll have a few days to relax before jumping back into their tour schedule for Hong Kong!

"Are you saying I have to stay away and not hang out with my kpop friends? Jimmy, I told you Jungkook is my super special friend! They'll be way too busy with their super tight schedule to meet me here in Busan! "You say it gently.

Jimmys eyes widen, "Oh, didn't they get here yesterday at Incheon? The whole country is all a-buzz with their arrival! I heard they’re back for the Korea Awards...don’t you know that? "

Law rolled his eyes and muttered under his breath, "Stalker much?"

You were surprised that Jimmy is aware of Bangtan schedule.

"How did you find out? I had no idea about that! " You pretend not to know things .

Jimmy grinned a little akwardly , "Sweetie, we’re in their country.My new buddies are all super fans of this group! They're world famous! Even their ads are all over the city! I just have a feeling that Seoul is going to be a bit worse! It looks like these youngsters are like little royalty around here...so,"

You pursed your lips and shook your head,giving him a sarcastic smile, "Oh, I totally forgot you're a secret ARMY!Oh no,dear. I'm meeting a sweet friend for coffee after you leave! I hope you have the most wonderful weekend ever! Stay safe, Jimmy!"

Jimmy looked all awkward and charming, "I know you love the band so much! I just think you might get together! Who’s the cute little buddy? Do I know her?"

You giggle and say, "It's a him! His name is Felix, and he was super duper friendly the last time I visited here! He's here for work with their magazine! So we'll just get together for a cute little coffee date to catch up! He'll be on his way super soon! "

Jimmy seemed a bit uneasy, and you know he really doesn’t like leaving you alone with any other guy.

Your mom interjected in, "It'll be awesome, Daya! Felix was really friendly with us last time! It'll be so lovely to return his sweet hospitality! "

Law smiled,but you could see his mocking smirk, "Your mom and I are going to do some shopping! While you hang out! I think that young man is so cute! He was such a sweet host!"

Jimmy scrunched up his little brows and said, "Well, maybe I should stick around and meet him too!"

Your eyes go all wide and surprised, "Jimmy!"

Jimmy looked all surprised at your frowny face, "What? I'd love to meet your friends too, Daya!"

Your mom took a big breath and said, "Jimmy I don't think Daya would like that! Head on over to Seoul and have the most delightful weekend! Daya needs some cozy rest, and if she wants to hang out with her friends...let her have fun! She's a big girl who can totally take care of herself! My sweet girl is so responsible, and I just know she can make her own choices! "

She gave him a little pointed glare, not too happy about how he wanted to boss her daughter around. He’s getting a bit too controlling and possessive as time goes by.

Jimmy pursed his lips and just nodded, not liking were the conversation is going.

Law just snort softly, his eyes had a strange glint," Or...are you a tiny bit worried that sweet Daya might find her soulmate.Oh my gosh, you know she's going through some really tough soulmark attacks, right? Her true mate
 is just around the corner, and oh dear, Jimmy, but you
 might need to get ready to say goodbye to her..."

Jimmy's eyes suddenly flashed dangerously, which made you shiver at the cold gaze he throw to your personal stylist. You inhaled deeply as you suddenly realised that Jimmy wasn't planning on letting you go.

"I'm aware of that Law, but my girl and I already discussed that. If it's blue or if he is not on her level she could just reject the bond and marry me. I can give her everything she needs. She knows I will treat her like a queen and protect her from harm.' He looked in your wary eyes, smile softly as he squeeze your hand.

You gulped painfully, not really feeling the weight of his words. Jimmy wants to keep you far away from any threat to his happiness. He doesn't want you to meet or bond with your future soulmate. The realisation made you feel sick to your stomach.

He promised to let you go but as you gazed into his amber eyes , you could see something else brewing. Jimmy is petrified in losing you. But everyone in your crew and your family wants you to be happy with the one destined for you. You had too much of cheating, insecurity and manipulation in your previous relationships. You deserve happiness.

You smile softly," Er Jimmy...thank you for caring about me. But you do know I'm capable in looking after myself. Don't be concern I'll be fine. Go enjoy your trip. I'll see you Monday."

Law and Your mom smirk discreetly at your cool voice putting your boyfriend in his place. He is not engaged or married to yiu to start dictating how and when you must see people.

You look at your table mates eating in a silent manner. You suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

"Er family...I'm still a little tired. Can you please excuse me. I want to go back and take another nap. Jimmy I hope your flight is safe." You stood up , bend down and give him a slight peck on his cool lips.

Jimmy furrowed his brows in confusion,"Aren't you seeing me off at the airport?"

Your mom shook her head," The paparazzi will be too severe. You will be fine. She needs rest and she needs to look refreshed when she meets her friend from Allure magazine. We but you a safe trip."

Jimmy pouts as he looks at your tired face, "It is okay, baby..." He stood up suddenly and wrapped his arms around you, his fingers getting caught in your messy bun as he lifted your face to his. Then, he kissed you deeply, leaving you blushing bright red, feeling more embarrassed than happy.

You gaze at him intently as he smirks down at you, "Wow Jimmy, that was unexpected..." You gently wipe your tingling bottom lip, feeling the slight bruise from his intense kiss.

"You my girl! And I am missing you already," he said with a wink at your furrowed brows.

Jimmy chuckled as he let's you free and sat down again, leaving all borthered and not in a nice way.

Your mum and Law seemed a bit uncomfortable, clearly not thrilled about him putting you on the spot with all that PDA. He gets that you’re not a fan of public displays of affection. You seem a bit flustered as you glance around at the amused patrons who are still hanging out for a late breakfast.

You exhaled deeply, took out your phone, and walked briskly out of the restaurant, silently angry within.Waiter crew grinned widely as you bowed politely in their direction. One of your bodyguards swiftly entered safe mode and is taking you out to the elevator. Your honey glow cheeks were flushed.

It’s funny how you don’t even feel like taking a nap as you step into the elevator to your room.

A notification just lit up your iPhone. When you open your messages, your heart starts to race unexpectedly. A chill crept up your neck as you looked down at the ID.

Jungkook...

A smile suddenly lit up your stoic features.

J:Heya Zen! We're back. Please give me a call when your available or...awake🤣

Once you are in your room, you toss off your sneakers and bounce onto your bed, feeling all relaxed and cosy.

You can believe the unexpected elation that took over your heart and demeanour.

Why is one text message from Jungkook making you so excited.

You knew the answer. It is because he has your heart.

You:Hi Kookie, what's up!

J: We arrived yesterday in Seoul. We had a great show in Fukoaka and we are all just chilling at President's Hill.

You:Welcome back. I hope you rest well.

J: With our schedule very unlikely.Last night we celebrated with a Korean BBQ Hobi-hyungs birthday.

You: Oh wow! Congrats to him.

J: Yeah, he is also leaving for the week with his soulmate on little getaway. We don't have any schedule for the week. But the following week we have Awards show attendance and something on Vlife. I hope you watch.

You: My korean is getting better. I'll watch the live. So you are super free from this weekend.

J: Yes...Jimin and I are flying back to Busan this morning too spend the afternoon with our families...but I want us to meet earlier. Are you up for it?

You: What do you mean by earlier as ...like this morning and not like late afternoon?

J: Yeah, I'm just going to greet my family and maybe take them out for breakfast. I told them that I' m going to hang out with you...'

You: Oh my gosh! Kookie. How do you think they will react to you being alone with another girl after everything that happened with your dating scandal?

J: Zen, that happened almost two months ago. The media is over that. Lisa is moving on. She's in the US preparing for their shows and some talkshow appearances, but you are here and I'm not letting you leave without spending quality time with you.

You: If you sure. So, my boyfriend is not really into the idea of me hanging out with my popstar friends. I have got a meeting with Felix this afternoon, and I am trying to figure out how to get out of it since Jimmy is heading to Seoul.

J: Awesome! His like a guard dog. You big girl you can make your own decisions. Reschedule with Felix. I'm sure he'll be fine. I'm going to send a driver to bring you to Busan port. Maybe before 12pm. Pack a weekend bag because we'll be on Yoongis yacht for a day, than we'll sail to Jeju Island for a day and return on Monday. How's that?

You got those butterflies in your stomach just at the thought of being alone with the BTS maknae.

You: I can do that. If it gets a bit chilly, I will just grab a jacket. This is really exciting! Is there going to be security?

J: Don't fret. One I my bodyguards will be on the yacht watching over us. They are trained for that. Our getaway will be very much in secret. Yoongis crew prepared everything for us and my condo in Jeju is very secluded. You'll enjoy the sights. Zen...I miss you and I want to be with you.

You: Wow! I missed you too, Kookie! You really thought that through, didn't you? Jimmy will be leaving Busan, and you will be heading back to Seoul around the same time. Hey, you could run into each other!

J: 🤣. Probably. Darling, Jimin and I are boarding our small charter. I'll talk to you when I'm on board.

Your heart raced at that term of endearment.

You: Okay be safe. Let me know when your driver is on his way. I need to reschedule my appointment with Felix.

J: I can't wait to see you,Zen.

You: Me too...

You both exited the chat, and you could not contain your excitement! You dashed to your closet, grabbed a small LV weekend bag, and started packing right away. Felix was totally chill about the reschedule, and you’ve got your date set for next week. You are hoping Jimmy will be out of the picture by then since he is got a new training schedule in Las Vegas.

Your mother was taken aback by your newfound happiness, asking why you appeared to have won the lotto. She leant against the door post, arms crossed, chuckling at your enthusiasm as you packed up your make-up and essentials.

She gives a little smirk, clearly amused by how giddy you are."Hey, why the rush? Are not you leaving tonight?"

You grinned cheerfully, your hazel eyes sparkling with delight. "Change of plans! Kookie just texted me... he is on his way home." He’s hoping we can meet up by noon. He is sending a driver to take me to the port where his bandmates, Yacht, will be. We're sailing to Jeju Island..."

Your mom's eyes widen,"Oh my...you spending a weekend with Jungkook...alone?"

You complained, "Mum, you know it is not like that!" We are hanging out as friends and also checking if fate has something in store for us to be together. We are just hanging out as friends. You really don’t want to catch your mom’s sharp look while she’s checking out how flustered you are.

She nodded, "Yeah, right. Hey, just watch out for anyone who might be snooping around. BTS lads have a lot of saseang stalkers, and you do not want a scandal brewing. That boy is always caught in the glare of fame...even if he hides the spotlight always seemed to find him...and you know your boyfriend is not very thrilled about it."

You chuckle and say, "Honestly, Mum. Right now, I could not care less about Jimmy and this suffocating relationship. I am spending the weekend with my male bestie, and I am going to enjoy his company. Jimmy just needs to chill out and take it easy. Gosh, the nerve of kissing me so lustfully in front of inquisitive eyes...when I return, I am so dumping him."

Your mum laughs, "Good for you! He seemed pretty worried about losing you. And if you are not with him, you might just find your soulmate, and he will not be able to do a thing about it. Would you like us to go to the mall early, before you leave?"

Your eyes lit up,"Oh yes. I heard a YouTube influencer recommended a fantastic cosmetics store. Maybe we can look into the hype. I need some fresh make up brushes."

Your mum smiled and said, "Alright, let us get that packing done. It’s still before 10am. How about we go grab some things? Law is looking for some hair products he spotted online. Looks like it is pretty affordable around here!" She clicked her tongue.

You nod,"Okay. I'll be quick." You made sure to pack a cute dress and some stylish shoes just in case you have a dinner date. You just never know.

Your mum starts to leave but then turns back with a smile, saying, "I have not seen you this excited to meet a boy besides your boyfriend!"

You blushed and said, "I just missed Kookie, mum." It is no biggie.

But deep down, you knew that seeing Kookie again could either lift you to the highest highs or bring you crashing back down to square one.

Let destiny take its course.

A little while later, you and your mum were having a blast on a shopping spree, picking up all your favourite cosmetics and beauty products at the cute Ancci Brush House store. You can not help but smirk as you think about your bestie, Kylie.

She should just chill because these products are amazing, and you will definitely want to grab them as gifts for your teen twin step-sisters. The shop assistants couldn't believe that an international.celebrity was visiting their shop out of millions of shops. You even took a cute selfish with them. Your friendliness astounded them. And unbekbowst to you,your visit to their small shop will become viral on social media.

Later...

You could not believe you were sitting in the back seat of one of Bighits' drivers, who had been personally summoned to pick you up.

As the ride sped by the stretched-out beach, your soulmark began to react...with icy frozen shivers spreading up your neck.

What might it foreshadow?
