Sunlight  filter through the gray curtains providing gentle light in the dark room. You awake still embraced in the warmth of Yoongi’s bare body against your back, making you feel secure in this peaceful and precious moment. His arms were possessively wrapped around your torso, almost as if he was afraid to release you from this hold even in sleep. As he shifted slightly to cuddle you, his hand found its place on your flat stomach slowly bringing you in closer, molding you against his warm body.  His husky voice calls out your name in a murmur, you could feel his warmth and love that radiated through you.

Awkwardness catches up to you, and not simply from the  nearness, but the memories from the night before, when you recall how things get so heated between you .So you blinked twice as you turned to look at him, who's face was flustered and cat like heavy sleeply eyes facing him. He smiled a lazily cute beautiful smile which made the matter of your heart thump uncontrollably.

Wow! Yoongs is so handsome if not more in the mornings. His dark bed hair stood disheaveled. You leaned your head against his warm chest and closed your eyes as the silence was disturbed by the gentle rhythmic thumping of his heart. At that moment, it was as if you were the only one existing in the universe. Your legs were entwined in the silky grey sheets with warmth in the silent atmosphere .

“Good morning, sweetheart,” he mumbled against your long and smooth hairs in a deep breathy voice that was  made your spine quiver.

"Morning, baby" you replied in a soft voice. You could feel the heat rising in your cheeks as Yoongi only pulled you closer, your female softness against his chest,  his fingers gently stroking your dark hair.

You lay there in comfortable silence before the reality of the day ahead began to creep in. The meeting with your agencies played a role in your mind, as did the discussion about handling your soulbond while navigating your hectic career schedules. You sighed, and Yoongi noticed instantly as your apprehensive emotions mirrored his.

"What's on your mind, darling?" he asked tenderly his , but his voice was laced with concern.

You bit your lip and murmur hesitantly, "It's the agencies meeting later... I'm nervous about how our managements want to handle everything.I hope they dont think it's going to affect our careers? How will they work around our bond without our fans finding out? My management is also busy creating an official fandom name for my fans, separated from Blinks. I don't know if I'm ready for them to come and dictate to us on how we should navigate this bond." You inhaled deeply.

Yoongi pressed a soft kiss to your forehead. "Sweetheart, we'll figure it out together, okay? Our management can't control our bond; we are red gold, and it's something deeper than just our schedules. We'll make it work on our terms, okay, sweetheart? They will figure it out?"

You nodded, a little reassured by his words, but there was another concern gnawing at your mind. Later today, you still have to introduce Yoongi to your dad for drinks, and then you will have that dreaded lunch with your mom and your loose-mouth twin sister, Jisoo. The thought of it made you slightly nauseous. You weren't worried about your loving dad—he was always calm and understanding—but Jisoo... well, she was a wildcard, unpredictable.

"I'm scared about my twin sister, Jisoo, meeting you," you admitted quietly, your fingers tracing patterns on Yoongi's chest, which made him stiffen at your feather-like touch, but you too deeply in thought to notice the shift in his emotions, "She's so unpredictable, Yoongs, and sometimes her mouth runs before her brain can catch up. I don't want her to slip up about... us accidentally about our soulbond. Her loose lips sink the ship of my friendship with Jennie. What if Jennie finds out about us---gosh, she still has hopes about you---?"

Your best sister friend, Jennie hates you. The mere thought of her finding out about you two terrifies you. She is one of your closest friends, and if she found out you and Yoongi were system destined soulmates, the bond that connected you... you weren't too sure how she would react.

The systems'  betrayal and the fact that you blatantly lied to her about Yoongi.  Would she grow to despise you more than ever before? Would she assume that you deliberately did it so that she would not find out about it? The thought that you could lose her friendship for good was never easy for your already fragile heart.

What can you do to repair broken bridges that have already burned? You shut your eyes and blink twice feeling the back of your eyelids starts burning. You adore the Blackpink girls, because you just debut last year and got really close to them, and now the sisterhood is in the process of falling apart.

Your bond with Yoongi will acted as a hedge to the both of you two. Rose and Lisa are so unfortunate because they are in the middle of a situation where their friendship is falling apart and they do not know how to do anything about it. But the one who started it all is running free. Sometimes you wish to divorce your twin, but your twin bond is very strong.

Yoongi’s hand stopped stroking your arm, and he was aware of your inner turmoil. He tilt your chin up so that you had no option but to meet his concerned eyes, ‘Sweetheart,forget Jennie, she's delulu and it’s all well and good, but you can’t continue like this - afraid of the others opinion. This is a serious issue -the  constant hiding, worrying what people would say or think of’ – He pulled you closer, kissing your bare shoulder tenderly,"  Baby, that is not good for you. I think for now, you need to move out from that toxic atmosphere in the Blackpink apartment.”

You blinked in astonishment, ‘What?’

'Yes, move in to my penthouse – it's your home too,' he spoke in soft tones.," Sweetheart, I know this is an extreme measure and it is very sudden, but I want you to feel safe and I also want us to be in a place where we do not have to care about other people. You want that calmness and sanity.’

You bit your lip, a tingling feeling reacting within you. The very idea even of actually leaving the Blackpink Penthouse – of moving away from the girls – was terrifying and you have a revised contract. Yet, at the same time, the thought of sharing a place with your soulmate Yoongi, in which you did not have to hide in case of all the gossip or saseangs seemed like paradise to you.

“I... I will think about it,” you murmur,  “It’s just... a lot after all,  because of this Blackpink contract with YG. We need to be a united front.”

Yoongi gently pressed his soft lips on yours; “I said, go as slow as you want baby. No matter the choice that you will make , you know very well I am right behind you to support you ."

You inhaled deeply as you nodded, but suddenly, Yoongi flipped you over on your back, his  naked weight hovering over you. He had a deep smirk on his lips as he looked down on your wide eyes and blushing cheeks.

"What about a pre-breakfast before we get on the battleground," he said breathlessly, biting his lip as he waa looking down your flustered face.

You squirm  beneath his weight, making him gasped as you softly giggle ,snaking your arms seductively around his bare shoulders and pull him into a soft kiss with lots of promises of what lies ahead.

For now, you just allowed yourself to melt back into his embrace, giving your soulmate the much needed attention and just enjoy the precious moments you had together.

......

An hour later

You and Yoongi found the group enjoying a huge buffet at the breakfast table. You exchanged warm greetings.

Yoongi pulled a chair out and made you take your seat after the festive greetings. You notice Taehyung and Yunru are not yet up for breakfast.

As a loving couple, you radiated affection as Yoongi attentively served you a hot coffee drink. You wore a charming  back and white striped dungeree styled dress, a white crispy shirt to bring an elegant feel to this mini dress, cute black loafers with a low ponytail and natural makeup, while Yoongi sported a blue  and  white Fila tracksuit.

Jimin playfully teased you about your flustered expression, "So, Ji-ho, how was your welcoming party?"

Your gentle smile graced your face, "Sami and Yunru made it a truly memorable evening. Thank you both for the warm welcome."

Samiya grinned in agreement. "It was a blast. It's just a shame you have to leave so soon. You both have that meeting with BangPD and your managers."

Yoongi playfully crunched up his nose, "That meeting churns my stomach." You offered a comforting smile, gently rubbing his arm.

"Don't worry. After the meeting, we'll might get  our invirso binding out of the way. We can visit my family afterwards," you reassured a hint of nervousness in your tone. Maybe you could do the binding at your respective agencies or go to the clinics that does it discreetly.

Namjoon chimed in reassuringly, "That's quite a day ahead. Yoongi-hyung, don't be too apprehensive. YG might be surprised initially, but it could improve agency relations."

Yoongi sighed, furrowing his brow, "We'll see. Where are Taehyung and Funsize? Aren't they joining us for breakfast?" He scanned the table, clearly missing their presence.

The group chuckled, sharing knowing glances, aware of Taehyung's inaugural "guest" sleepover at the mansion.

Jimin grinned, nibbling on a piece of kimchi pancake. "He messaged, saying they'll have breakfast later. Seems like they had a pretty late night," he remarked with a naughty smirk before sipping his tea. "He might opt for breakfast in bed."

Sitting across from Jimin, you stifled a soft snicker. The Bangtan crew appeared in high spirits, especially with the group's flirtatious banter.

Jungkook rolled his eyes playfully, directing his attention to the newly bonded couple, "Ji-Ho, it's great meeting you. We almost had the impression that Yoongi was bonded with Jisoo. But he's not fond of your sister."

Soft chuckles echoed among the group. While Yoongi hadn't been particularly close with the Blackpink group, they now understood that his interest wasn't directed towards Jisoo or Jennie, who has a mad crush on him, but towards Ji-Ho, the quiet, stunning twin.

Yoongi shot Jungkook a pointed look, "Yeah, well... Jisoo's well aware, and I'll do my best to play nice because my soulmate adores her sister. So, for her sake, I'll tolerate that 'hell angel,' he muttered with a scowl.

You stifled a soft chuckle, "She won't be thrilled to hear you say that."

Yoongi smirked, "As if I care," he retorted, winking at you.

Namjoon grinned, "I hope your meeting won't run too long. We're leaving for the airport by ten tonight. Have you packed already to avoid any last-minute rush?"

Hobi chuckled. "I doubt he's had time for that. I'll lend a hand, Yoongi-hyung. I'll keep your bags open so you can do a final check." he offered.

Yoongi looked at Hobi with evident relief and affection. "Thanks, bro. I owe you one."

At that moment, Taehyung and Funsize entered hand-in-hand, their eyes filled with laughter. They'd been flirting with each other endlessly, creating a relaxed atmosphere.

The boys were pleased to see the soulmates looking content after the online video incident and subsequent backlash. Funsize seemed to have recovered, and they hoped her best friend would give her some space after the trouble he had caused.

The couple cheerfully greeted the others before grabbing succulent food at the buffet table.

Seokjin and Samiya excused themselves later from the table, heading off to continue packing for Saitama. Jin was too distracted with Sami by his side to focus on any packing tasks. The management had already inquired about the progress with their packing to ensure the group stayed on schedule for their tour. Hobi offered his hands to help Yoongi pack.

Meanwhile, Jimin and Jungkook were still wrapping their breakfast when Jimin quipped, "So, how was your lovey-dovey time?" He waggled his eyebrows mischievously at Yunru and Taehyungs' the youngest bonded couple.

She gave him a deadpan look, "Were you pulled out from under a bridge? Your mind's decaying by the day, Jimin," you retorted, waving a silver chopstick in his direction. Jimin chuckled, but Taehyung seemed unfazed, quietly eating his breakfast.

"Aww, my sweetie-pie, my adorable small friend. The tigress displayed her claws bright and early," Jimin remarked with a regretful click of his tongue. You smirked as you saw how cute Yunru wrinkled her nose at his teasing glint, having grown used to Jimin's playful banter.

Taehyung narrowed his eyes, "You want a piece of me?" Jimin shook his head, a smirk on his lips. "Then quit flirting with my girl," he said, slightly annoyed.

Jimin raised his hands in mock defence, clearly enjoying teasing the Maknae couple.

Jungkook smiled at the two and advised, "I hope you've packed your bags already. There won't be time for unnecessary shopping."

Taehyung nodded. "Yep, we finished that a few minutes ago. And the food is delicious. Thanks, Noona." He glanced appreciatively at Samiya, who had returned to the lounge area and slumped down on the sofa, engrossed in texting her friend, Alia, about the boutique.

She turned, offering a cute smile to her favourite maknae. "Do you guys need any help?"

Most of them shook their heads.

"I'm okay, Noona...I'm heading to my room now. See you all later," Jungkook bowed and waved before leaving.

Meanwhile, as you and Yunru chatted over breakfast, you seemed nervous about meeting Bang PD.

"He's like a big teddy bear. You'll instantly like him, so don't worry too much," she reassured you. You took a deep breath while finishing her fruit salad. Namjoon and Yoongi were engaged in conversation beside you.

J-Hope nodded to everyone at the breakfast table before grabbing an ice-cold spring water from the buffet. His expression turned visibly sour as his phone chimed with a message.

"Ugh, seriously?" He grimaced, reading the text with  deepening furrowed brows on his face, instantly drawing the attention of the others. He inhaled deeply as he shook his head.

"Is everything okay, Hobi?" Namjoon inquired, looking concerned. You also looked at the BTS sunshine, who had an exasperated expression. You wondered why he looked so agitated.

J-Hope sighed heavily, "Jiwoo, my sister,  texted me again to say that my 'clueless' granddad gave out my 'new private' number to someone unsavoury—someone I'd rather ignore for ever."

The seriousness of his expression surprised everyone. Namjoon and Yoongi exchanged knowing looks, aware of Hobi's persistent ex-girlfriend's attempts to reconnect despite his disinterest in anything romantic.

Taehyung seemed irritated, "Are you changing your number again, Hobi-hyung? It's getting confusing. I've had six previous numbers under your name. Should we use email and Instagram  instead- just to tell you to 'come quickly to the rehearsal studio'?"

You snicker softly. Taehyung is so funny.

Hobi sighed as he unscrewed his water bottle, "I feel like blocking my entire family; they keep leaking sensitive information. There are unnoticed paparazzi who talk to our unsuspecting relatives."

Yoongi snorted, "True... just make your number private and use an app to block those spam messages or those numbers," he suggested.

Hobi bit his lip, a conflicted expression clouding his eyes. "I'm just tired of this childish behaviour after four years," he muttered, turning away and leaving the patio to release some steam at the in-house basketball court.

Watching Hobi depart, Yoongi appeared unusually concerned. You glanced at Yoongi, raising your eyebrows inquiringly.

"Is he okay, Yoongs?" you asked, puzzled. You wonder who this 'fly' was that cause so much havoc in the BTS sunshines daily life.

Yoongi smiled faintly and nodded, "He will be," he assured you, indicating he would fill you in on Hobi's ongoing struggles with his ex that doesnt want to leave him alone.

"Solid advice. I don't give my number to extended family. My grandparents can call my mom's phone to reach me. My number is kept private," quipped Jimin before standing up, exchanging greetings, and departing from the table to complete his packing.

Shortly afterwards, you and Yoongi left as well with management. BangPd called Yoongi that Sejin and Hobeom will meet the managers of YG, but he would like to meet his soulmate alone after they return from the tour. 

You were so relieved that that dreaded meeting with their CEO was postponed.
