Ay this is not the parallel I wished for

In the beginning, we brag about who is heavier and

Laugh while we look at each other

Ji-ho pov

-Sunday mid-afternoon-

The previous evening when you returned from Corey's family dinner, you and your friends sat up late watching movies. You were watching the trio with amusement as Darren found a website to purchase last-minute tickets to the Billboard Awards. It was a sight to behold when they got tickets from Ticket master. They got lower level seats, but it was very costly, but you could afford it. Khai decided to pay it for the group on his credit card.

They wanted to get you a ticket because there were six tickets left. They only got four on the lower level, which cost approximately $450 each, almost 514,800 won. The floor seats were only reserved for the artists and their families.

You only told Ramona when you got back that you had period pains, and you don't think you will be able to sit through the whole evening even if you wanted to support your fellow Korean artist, which was a lie; that is why you are such a great actress.

The whole mid-afternoon, your friends were exuberant with glee. They work with excitement which highly amuses you. Corey's mom was a little sad that you couldn't go when you told her about your lady problems. You just gave a sweet smile and assured her that your friends would take many photos and videos for you to watch.

The coffee shop was packed with international customers who came specifically to support their favourite performers. There were a lot of ARMY in the group, and they were ecstatic. Ramona and Corey, assigned as waiters, find it stimulating to speak with other fans. All audience members with tickets, but a few numbers were swapped.

You wore your glasses and stayed behind the coffee machines, which hid your view of the people. Because of your new required barista skills, you felt confident.

Jack, Corey's brother, taught you how to create sandwich fillings, and you made a point of remembering the ingredients so you could make them for your friends at home.

The baristas were you and Juana, Jack's soulmate. She was filled with tattoos. You assist her with her job serving the flavoured Lattes. She let you try the macadamia-almond latte, and it was an instant hit with you. If it's available elsewhere, you'll always order it.

You and Juana hit it off right away. Because most customers bought extra refills, Darren continually teased you about quitting Blackpink and becoming a full-time barista. You even received a tip.

At 5 p.m., your friends said goodbye to the coffee shop family and returned to the resort to change into their outfits. You took a long bath in the tub connected to your bedroom.

Ramona looked stunning in red hot pants and a black silk top, accessorized with red and black costume jewellery. Her hair was pulled back into a high curled ponytail. The guys look fantastic in black. You quickly took a group photo of them to remind you about this day.

" Don't be late. Just take some medications and relax." 'OK, chica!' Ramona instructs you while patting you on the cheeks.

At 8 p.m., you could watch the entire live performance. So make yourself a delicious cup of tea and unwind. "We'll contact you and show you videos of the magenta carpet." Darren hugs you. In his gentle eyes, you nod and grin.

"OK, just don't scream too loudly, OK?" You point at them with your finger.

Khai smirked, "I got earplugs for the audience screaming and yelling, and lady Ramona will certainly deafen us."

"I won't, and the maknae-line won't even gaze back to see where we're sitting. I'm excited to see Selena and the performance of Camilla." she laughingly shoves Khai at his shoulders.

Corey appeared to be impatient. "Come on, guys, we need to be there early to have a good location for the red carpet. I want to get a good picture of Jimin. "You crack a grin. Corey was captivated by Jimin's otherworldly beauty. He was whipped for the boy, which had you all in stitches, wondering when he would come out of the closet.

You had to hide from Corey's wrath that day.

They left after you greeted them. You were wearing your pyjamas and sitting on the red sofa in front of the television, sipping a hot flavoured green tea. You have a lot of snacks with you. You appeared to be at ease. Your soulmark was not behaving abnormally. It was unexpected, yet you are unusually calm.

You miss him so deeply that when they appeared on the magenta carpet, you chuckled at the way the boys posed. Yoongi, as usual, was quiet and only smiled cutely. Oh my goodness, he's so hot. You could feel your heart begin to beat. Because of the half-bonding, he officially belongs to you. You gave him a careful look, but he didn't seem disturbed by anything.

Perhaps Jennie makes him happy. You instantly dismiss such negative thoughts. It would be of no use to you. As long as he's happy and satisfied, that's all you want for him; if Jennie is the one he wants, you'll never stand in his way, and after the deception, you can see why he was so upset. You wished he'd allowed you to explain. Things would have turned out quite differently.

You were captivated by the group. They are pretty well-dressed. That evening, they won the Top Social Artist award, beating Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez.

Your smile for the Bangtan guys. They've come a long way. The seven boys put South Korea on the map. You turned off the television because you didn't want to see all of the obscene performances by the other half-naked artists. It causes second-hand humiliation to see somebody flaunt assets that were supposed to remain hidden.

You jumped into your comfortable bed, and just as you were about to fall asleep, knowing your friends might show up after midnight, your phone vibrated.

You let out a sigh as you read the ID-Caller: "mother -witch," you shudder.

You used to ignore all of her text messages and missed calls. You just didn't want to talk to her. You can bet your dad told her you always answered his phone calls and text messages, but you refused to speak to her.

You're still upset over how she accused you and her lack of understanding of your career choices. She will always like Jisoo. You had to endure the pain of accepting her choice. You were weary from fighting for your mother's love. One day, if you happen to be a mom, you will want to lavish all of your love on your children, and you will never let them feel unloved or undeserving of your love. You should never compare them to each other. You took a deep breath, knowing it was unlikely to happen. You always fantasize about bearing kids with your soulmate. But he's taken from you.

You press the answer button, and, as is usual, she does not let you greet. You just have to wait for the rant to begin.

"Is this how you treat your mother, Ji-ho...you abruptly hang up on her and never return her calls or texts? What the hell is wrong with this picture?!!" She sounds agitated.

You just shook your head and said, "'Hello, Eomma!'

She was furious. "Ji-ho...I'm so sick and tired of your attitude. You must overcome whatever has occurred in your life. I'm not sure why I'm the real villain. Could we please talk about it?'

You appear weary. Your mother understands how to take all of your energy from you," Eomma...nothing is wrong with me. It's just that you don't want to understand me. You want to put me...no, force me into the same box as Jisoo. I am not her...we are different on the inside. We have other goals, dreams, likes and dislikes...I AM NOT HER. Eomma, please quit comparing us to one another...it irritates me every time!!" You responded irritably.

" Ji-ho... I know you're different...but I'm your mother, and it appears that I've lost you forever. I apologize for comparing you to Jisoo...simply, it's that she always requires more attention owing to her delicate condition... I'm sorry if you're upset and angry... it isn't the first time soulmates have been rejected by their soulmates...you will find happiness. --"

"Wait....what!!!" your eyes widen in surprise. Jisoo, how could she have revealed your most heartbreaking moment with your mother? You never intended for her to find out. Did your dad tell your mother? You are suspicious. He would have informed you a long time ago. He will never betray you in front of your mother. He didn't even tell your mother what you discovered at your grandmother's house when you were fourteen. That was the moment at which your attitude toward your mother changed. She mistook you for an introverted rebel.

It had to be Jisoo. Oh my goodness!! Is your mother aware of your most intimate secret? When you return, you're going to punch your sister in the mouth. She should brace herself for a physical fight.

"W..what are you on about?" your eyes welled up.

"Baby, I'm so sorry about the incident...you'll get over it in time," she says softly." You will find love once more... I had no idea that was the source of your pain and attitude in the last year... I apologize for not being there for you."

You inhale loudly to restrain yourself from yelling in frustration," Eomma...who...who told you. Chichoo?" You want to know right now!

"You know your sister...she didn't want to admit anything. But your mental state over the last few months prompted me to get it out of her. She didn't want to tell me...but now I know...and I apologize for being so harsh on you. Was this the reason you have chosen to leave the country...to get away from him!'

You clench your teeth as you wipe the tears from your eyes, saying, "Eomma...I'm accepted! We didn't activate the bond because he...he had reasons that had nothing to do with me...she is mistaken. I didn't run because of a guy...I'm not a wimp. I want to continue my education, and I'm doing so right now..."

"Please come stay at home when you arrive at the end of the month. We need to talk about it. I can't lose you, Ji-ho. I'm your mother, and I know we had or still have disagreements, but please talk to me. You promised to work on our relationship before you left...please Ji-ho. I sincerely apologize. I apologize for being such a bad mother...but I love you." She asked in a pleading tone.

You just took a deep breath. On the inside you've the thinking about your devious twin sister, you're still fuming. You know she'll wait and reveal everything about you and Yoongi at any time. You don't want Jennie to be exposed to such information. It will crush her and ruin your friendship.

"Eomma...I'll be home for at least two days because I have a wedding and some agency business to attend to." We...then we can chat." You spoke in a deflated tone. You're not sure how your mother will react to the truth. But maybe it's time for her to come clean and explain her treatment of you over the years, especially when you've received a scholarship to an Art School.

She laughs excitedly, "Thank you, baby...I'm looking forward to your visit."

"Yes, Eomma, I know it's early dawn there, about 5 a.m., and it's night here. I'm exhausted. Could I please hang up the phone right now?" You inquire with firmness and politeness.

"OK, baby...I apologize. Please have a restful night's sleep, and I'll see you next week." You both hung up after she greeted you.

You're so furious that you could trap cobras. You instantly got your twin's number. You don't care if she's still asleep after their rehearsals or anything,

"I'm exhausted, Sis! 'What are you doing phoning me so early?' Your sister spoke in a grumpy tone.

"I don't care!!! Could you please explain why Eomma is aware of my alleged rejection? I thought you were keeping it a secret. Will you spill the beans now? ...why didn't you put it in Dispatch or, better yet, discuss it on social media...!!!" With a sob in your voice, you yelled even louder.

"Oh my goodness! Didn't Eomma tell you? Oh, I'm so sorry, sis...she was yelling and raving about how I'm in the loop with you...how I know what's been bugging you all years. She asks me directly whether you met your soulmate...because only soulmate issues change a girl's entire persona... I...didn't want to reveal anything, but Eomma is so terrifying. I tremble at the sight of a vicious stare. I'm not so good at staying calm under pressure, Ji-ho!"She sounded tense and regretful.

"You betrayed my trust, Chichoo. I will never do such a thing to you. I didn't tell her about your secrets...when you sneak away at sixteen with the neighbour's son...going to a club. I never told Mom about your encounters with soul marked men. I honoured our sisters' creed, but you've repeatedly shown me that I can never trust you." You sounded a little fierce, but you're so disappointed.

"I'm very sorry, sister! I'm aware that I've messed up. I'll make things right when you come. I'll get you the most expensive Dior outfit--" she remarked.

"Yes...with Jimmy Choo shoes, x3 pairs, and Chanel handbags, and I will choose my accessories..or...you are no longer my sister!! I'm tired of your loose lips. Or I'll punch you in the face to balance things up." You threaten her.

Jisoo said, "Oh my goodness!!! No, I'd rather be a little poorer than look ugly, especially since I'm the better-looking twin. Please forgive me, sister." She pleaded, and you agreed.

You still do have plenty of revenge planned for your unsuspecting sister.

"Good because...I'm still annoyed!!! But we'll go to all of my favourite designer boutiques together. I may change my mind and buy five or six pairs of shoes!" you smugly declare.

"Ugh Ji-ho... that'll put a massive dent in my millions!" she grumbled.

"All right! It's the price you pay for having a big mouth!" you responded. "I don't care, and I want clothes and shoes worth up to ten million won!! Or you'll do your own performances for Black Pink," you said firmly.

"Oh my word...all right...all right...you can have...all the clothes you want...but will you forgive me?" With a sob in her voice, she begs you.

"I'll see what happens. maybe after treating your black noodle with earthworms, I still feel murderous... so good night!" You immediately hung up the phone.

Jisoo shrieked your name, "Ji-ho...Ji-ho." But you've already turned off your phone. Jisoo is well aware that you will not make casual remarks on Blackpink's performances.

......

Your friends were overjoyed the following day. They showed you all of the pictures and what transpired during the show. The performances and the adorable Bts when they accept their award. How the ARMY acted, for example. You just grin because you're thrilled they're happy.

You opted to start your day with breakfast at a coffee shop. You sat in the staff room with a coke, saddened by the knowledge that your mother is aware of your soulmate status. That was a crushing blow. She'll want to know everything right now.

Jisoo, how could she have told your mother that? She will eventually use it against you. When it comes to love, you feel like such a failure.

You've never had a real relationship in your life. As a teen, you were too awkward to date. Jisoo was always the more attractive twin. You were the brilliant nerd with short-sightedness. All the boys at school were intimidated by your intelligence. When fate brought you together with the boy of your dreams. You fell in love with him at first sight. You've loved him for four years and haven't been able to let go. You have the guts to believe that your twin switches would cause you to lose him permanently.

Ramona noticed you sitting alone in the staff room, writing circles on the table with your finger. You appear sad, and she had to know everything, and you informed your gorgeous friend about your sister's loose tongue. Ramona is aware of your relationships with your twin and your parents. Ramona was furious. When you smirked and told her about your plan for vengeance.

After learning that your sister will pay around $8K for spilling the beans, Ramona congratulates you. She had no idea you could be such a savage queen.

"What are your feelings about it, chica? I'm referring to not being with your soulmate. Could you please tell me more about him...if it doesn't make you feel uncomfortable?' She looks around the office and notices that only the two of you are there.

You take a look at Ramona, who has taken a seat in front of you, and say, "He...he is also famous."

"Whoa, is he Asian?" Ramona asks, her eyes widening.

"The trouble started. We met when I was 18 years old," you nod sadly. "My sister and I were both in our senior year of high school, but we went to different schools. She was still a trainee at the time, but something unfortunate occurred. YG- Her company sends all of the trainees to a training camp. It was also considered as part of their evaluation. I left the agency previously to pursue acting and how I had to put up my acting skills...The next day, I saw this Bighit-- bunch."

Ramona leaps to her feet, "Wait...omg...omg... Just a second...are we talking about the pre-debut BTS... Please tell me this isn't what I'm thinking. "She appeared elated. You simply scoff a little. Ramona sat down, wide-eyed, ready for you to tell her the story.

"Sorry, keep on..." she says apologetically, waving you on.

You form a smirk. "They were, after all, the most humble and adorable boys at camp. Because of their openness, they made a lot of friends easy...then I locked eyes with one in particular. We couldn't take our eyes off each other... we were pulled to one other... For the first time, I felt weird about a boy. I didn't know what to do with these new feelings... every day we were so aware of one other...he was very quiet but very cute with a bad boy type of aura, but I fell hopelessly in love with him. -- "You seem a little depressed as you reflect on your interactions.

"Aww, very romantic...the first soulmate connection," she smiles.

"Yeah, we had no idea why we were so pulled to each other. He was 20 at the time. We met again at the docks in the evening and talked, and he embraced me, believing I was Jisoo. I kiss a guy ...as my sister... The next day, we had a party like it was the end of camp...he asked me out...as my sister. We had a date on his friend's cabin boat, and there was a heavy storm, so...er we stayed the night on the boat." Ramona's jaw fell, and she began to waggle her brows teasingly...

"OK, Ramona!!...so the next day, we broke up and never heard from each other again till they made their debut. We never interacted with one another. We were from different agencies, and any contact with each other would result in a dating scandal, so we ignored each other until Blackpink's debut." Your eyes were saddened. Ramona furrowed her brows together. This is very sad, so near but so far.

"Why didn't you tell him it was you instead of Jisoo? He must've been confused," she said, looking at you inquiringly.

"I couldn't because he'd met Jisoo as Jisoo and didn't like her. Her personality was opposed to mine, and I couldn't tell Jisoo about my secret. He ignored her and our group, according to her. It was already too late. He found out Jisoo wasn't his soulmate, but the pull was there because I had to stand in for her. I couldn't understand it because his friend told me he had already found his soulmate, and I couldn't understand why I felt a pull on him. He couldn't understand the pull to a girl he wasn't mated to...and when he found out...he was beyond mad...and hurt that I deceived him and the fact that I was an actress told him I did it on purpose...so he rejected me after we half-bonded and...and I lost him" you pinched your lips together as unshed tears welled up in your eyes and rolled down your cheeks. You wiped it immediately.

"Oh, my girl, that's sad. It can be so difficult without activation. Please tell me who he is. I vow not to tell anyone. I'm not Jisoo. I guess he missed you as well. FATE will bring you together." She clasped your hand in hers and comforted you.

"Maybe...but he's now dating someone else. I have to move on...but it's so hard, Ramona...so it's freaking hard. I miss him so much and don't know what to do."

Ramona swiftly hands you a serviette on the table, and you smile and thank her as you wipe your face.

"Don't worry...still he's yours. I believe he misses you as well. You are not forced to tell me his name, please." You give her a grateful nod. If she discovers that one of her biases is your soulmate, Ramona will pass out. The ARMY can be odd.

On Tuesday morning, Corey's father dropped you all off, and Jake and Juana took you out for a day of sightseeing. Ramona was overjoyed since you were refreshed and joyful. But the pain in your eyes was still visible.

You spent the day relaxing with your friends. Corey's sister delivered groceries to your apartment. The friends were excited because you all didn't feel like going to shop again.

Jake and your friends decided to cheer you up by going to the casino hotel across the street from your hotel that Wednesday evening and even eating at the buffet. So, the coffee shop was bustling on Wednesday morning, and you and the group felt like through employees.

That evening, you're all dressed to impress. You were becoming more cheerful as the evening progressed.

You wore a printed Dior blouse, a pink leather mini-skirt, and white high heel pumps. You look lovely and energetic. Your makeup was applied dramatically, which was ideal for the nightlife.

You visited the Planet Hollywood casino. Jack and Juana have joined your friend group and are visiting the casino. You and Ramona even attempted to play slots but lost. Darren and Corey received a few dollars, but none of you won the jackpot. Because it was your vacation, the casino was crowded.

You are happy, and your soulmark is stinging a little, but you dismiss the feeling. You have decided to be cheerful rather than glum. It's your vacation, and BTS will be gone in a few days, allowing you to return home and resume your life.

Jack suggested that you all go to a buffet meal. You're all in agreement because you're all hungry. You took the escalators down to the buffet restaurant.

The guys were hungry, and you and Ramona just shook your heads but felt a little hungry as well; you crave Asian food and hope the buffet caters to your preferences as well.

You and Ramona enter with the rest of the group. You were laughing and having a good time. Juana found you a comfortable spot. You didn't waste time and went straight to the buffet. The guys stuffed their plates with various varieties of meat. Every time, you and the two girls ate tiny servings of multiple cuisines.'

You had a great time at the Buffet for an hour and a half. The chats were enjoyable, and you laughed a lot. Jake was hilarious, and he teased Corey a lot. You all just snicker at Corey's glum expression. He despises being subtly bullied by his sibling.

You felt a strange wave of emotions wash over you that you couldn't explain. It was a tremendous tug that made you hitch for your breath. Is it...no, it's not him. You simply dismiss the thought. After Jack paid the bill, you were all ready to leave the restaurant.

You take a discreet glance around, but the restaurant is crowded.

Juana looks at you and asks, "Are you OK, Ji-ho?"

You merely smile at her and say, "Er...I'm fine."

Because the entry doors have been closed, you pick up your Chanel purse and follow the bunch out via another side door. The security guard informed Jack that the restaurant had been closed due to a famous group that had reserved the VIP section, and they had to exit by the side doors.

Unbeknownst to you, your soulmate has been experiencing the same emotions as you...

.......

Ji-ho pov

Early the Thursday morning

You were all happy about working another shift. The group has decided to introduce you to the nightlife by taking you to one of Las Vegas's most famous clubs, Makkasan. One of Las Vegas' most expensive and exclusive celebrity nightclubs. You've never been to a nightclub before, and you're ecstatic to be experiencing it for the first time.

Juana informed you that the coffee shop had received great news the day before your opening.

When she was exceptionally cheerful that morning, you were loading the coffee beans.

"What's the matter with you?" you asked, looking at her sideways. She made a funny face.

So, on Tuesday, my father-in-law received word that the coffee shop will be closed today from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m."

"Why didn't I know we have such an early event," Darren said as he stood next to her, stacking the cups and saucers.

"Dad, on the other hand, didn't want to inform us because he wanted to make sure the entire folks were serious. So they confirmed last night that they would be visiting this area. Don't you notice how happy the waiters are? since the Billboards, We profited. It's pretty unusual. We didn't have as many customers last year as we have this year. We won the jackpot. "She burst out laughing. You and Darren were just staring at each other, amused.

"OK, who are we servicing that has booked out a whole coffeeshop?" says Darren with a smirk.

Juana smiled, "I'm not sure, but it's celebrities."

"Oh my," you moaned softly. You will have to cope with entitled and impolite behaviour. You're hoping Ramona can keep it together with that attitude.

Darren grins, "I'm delighted I'm working today behind the counter. Y/n and I will hide and be unnoticed."

You laugh, "Let's hope Corey and Ramona can keep their tempers under control. Celebrities are difficult to serve. They're extremely demanding, and I'm just glad you and Jake are here to assist with the coffee. I'll be too frightened to serve them properly."

Jack smiles behind you, "Don't worry, dear...let us all put on big bright smiles and do our best. Dad will receive a large cheque today because there are around twenty guests."

Juana shrieked, "Oh my gosh," she exclaimed, her face flushed. It's no surprise that Corey's father purchased a large number of fresh ingredients. Two other male waiters, Ramona and Corey rearranged the tables in groups. The management of the entourage that will be arriving soon has requested three group tables of ten. Ramona was overjoyed. Corey's dad, on either hand, did not want to tell you because it was a surprise.

You've met many celebrities and are one yourself, so you didn't even bother speculating like your thrilled friends.

You were checking on the water in the coffee machine when you and Darren noticed about seven black vehicles driving into the parking area in front of the coffee shop. Ramona and the waiters waited at the front door to greet the guests.

Your heart almost stopped when you saw Asians.

Four bodyguards came in first, looking around and bowing in front of Corey's father, who was as excited as a schoolchild. When you watched Ramona and the waiters with big eyes, and Ramona looked at you and a stunned Darren, you could see she was nervous and excited. Corey stood there with the largest grin on his face as your legs were about to give up.

Fortunately, there was a chair behind the counter that would conceal you from anyone's gaze. Darren smiled and stepped closer to Juana and Khai for a better view. It was time for you to escape.

The entourage includes the globally acclaimed BTS and their bodyguards and crew. Their management shielded them. You've identified Sejin and Ms Cheong as their senior personal managers.

You began to hyperventilate and crept behind the counters to the staff office without being noticed. Nobody notices your quick exit. Because of your nervousness, you couldn't even stand up straight when you entered the staff office. You crawled to the nearest sofa and sat with effort. Your eyes were filling with tears. How are you going to face your soulmate? You could already feel the pull since your soulmark was calling out to her match, who had just entered the coffee shop.

Your soulmate has arrived. FATE made sure that you will be forced together.

-Meanwhile-

The Bangtan boys were hyper and enthusiastic as usual. Namjoon and Yoongi appeared tired from staying up late working on lyrics, while Jhope seemed good. But Jhope looked very energetic. They all sat around the mid-table, surrounded by Sejin and Hobeom, as well as bodyguards. The other bodyguards were stationed at the door with the coffee shop security.

Ramona couldn't keep it together, and Corey had to calm her down. She must maintain a professional tone. She can't help herself; how lucky could they be to meet BTS unexpectedly? Oh my goodness, this is surreal. Unfortunately, no photographs or autographs were permitted. Ramona couldn't believe how attractive they were in person... Jungkook's bunny smile, Jimin's flirtatious eyes...she wanted to faint...cool Jin's handsomeness, Namjoon's charming smile and dimples...oh Jhope's sharp profile and his wide smile and goodness!!! Yoongi's cool gummy smile and perfect pale skin...she won't survive.

Jack had already assigned their tables, and Ramona was irritated that he had assigned her the senior management/stylist crew table. Cory gave her a smug grin since he was about to serve...BTS.

Fortunately, the Bangtan boys were given menus, which they understood without the need for Namjoon to interpret or translate for them.

Yoongi wrapped his little backpack over his chair when he felt a powerful tug. As his soulmark began to sting, he gently grabbed his chest. What in the world was that? It's as if his soulmate is nearby. He furrowed his brows as he peered around the coffee shop, but it was only them and the coffee shop staff.

Jhope looks at Yoongi's changing demeanour," Everything's OK, Hyung."

Yoongi only smiled and nodded, but he couldn't shake the strange feeling. Something doesn't seem to add up. "I think so."

"Oh, I want a salmon toast with pickled onion...and...and er...Thai chai drink," Jimin grinned beside him.

When Jimin smiled into Corey's eyes, he was pleased. He was entirely captivated by his bias. Behind the counters, Juana and Dareen were cracking up when they watched the flustered face of Corey in Jimin's presence.

.Darren had a frown on his face when he glanced around because he hadn't noticed You. Juana informed him that she might be in the staff restroom. So he was in charge of the coffee machine.

Jungkook and Taehyung both placed the same order. Americano espressos, milk and honey toast, and English breakfast.

Darren became concerned since Y/n was not at her post. It had been nearly fifteen minutes. He directed Juana to check on her. Ramona, taking some dirty mugs from the management, decided to go when she passed the kitchen.

She found you with your hands in your head, staring in front of you with a worried expression and trembling hands. Your soulmark was stinging, and you knew your soulmate was restless, with a strong pull around you. You were experiencing conflicting emotions such as joy, nervousness, and fear.

"Ji-ho, are you OK? you look pale? Are you sick?...because you are seriously missing out...do you know who booked out the coffee shop? "BTS!!!" you heard Ramona whisper-yell next to you.

"I...I'm sorry, Ramona...I can't go out there," you bite your lip as you glance at her with unfocused eyes.

"I'm feeling a little lightheaded," you say, your eyes shining. You can't tell her anything about Yoongi right now. She'll flip and reveal her inner ARMY.

"Oh my gosh, you look ill, Ji-ho," she said, furrowing her brows. Come in, and I'll have Jack prepare your favourite macadamia and almond latte. You can sit behind the counter and admire today's hottest stars...come."

You sigh, grab your phone and tote bag, and follow her with a glum expression. How are you going to avoid him? He will be aware of your presence.

"Wait for me...let me go get you some aspirin or something to make you feel better," she says as she dashes three doors around the corner to the manager's office, where Corey's mother was working.

You closed your eyes and stood next to the hall. Your heart was pounding in your chest erratically.

You look up as a strong tug draws your gaze to the end of the hallway. A shocked Yoongi stared at you from a few steps away. His jaws dropped... It's you! No way, How?

Then your eyes locked...new feelings emerged...love, longing, and joyful bliss.

"Oh my goodness! Ji-ho... please tell me? Is it...really...you?!" He mutters softly in amazement, unable to understand that his soulmate is real. Your eyes widen with panic as you glance about for an escape route. He approached you cautiously, and his eyes fixed on you. While you stood motionless, your eyes started welling up with tears.

With one deep breath, you quickly turned around and sprinted out to the side door. Yoongi was frozen in place, stunned to the core...he had found his soulmate.

...and she's just slipped away!...again.
