Now my forever's falling down
Wondering if you'd want me now

The red-gold string was merciless. You and Taehyung were breathless after the heavy kissing and touching. He was breathless, hovering over you with his head pressed by your hand inside your neck. 

"OMG! Tae",  you whisper breathlessly into his ear. His hair was sticking on his forehead as you stroked it gently.  His chest was heaving heavily, and you could feel his heart beating erratically in his sweaty chest.

Taehyung softly places a feather-light kiss on your jaw and lifts himself and his arms, hovering over you; he turned his face and looks intensely into your widened eyes. You gaze intensely back into his. You caress his face gently with your thumbs.

"Darling, ...please tell me...how in the world did we beat the red gold temptation...?"His deep sexy voice murmurs as he looked down at you in awe. His whole body was so eager to give in, and you were so ready to let him have you right there and then.

Your face flustered, and your mouth was drier than the desert.

"I ...don't know...all I know is that I've never wanted you more than now...oh gosh, Taelove", you deeply inhaled, visibly shaken by the evidence on his upper chest area where your lips attacked him. His PJ shirt is buttonless, and his whole toned chest was on display for you to enjoy. You blush, beet-red.

He smirks down at your tired face" I think I wanted you more...You are so beautiful, my darling...everything about you invited me in...I don't know how we stopped it...thank God for strength."

You smiled up at him when he stroked your damped hair out of your flustered face. In the dim light of the room, you look so ethereal and innocent.

Taehyung eyes linger on your open neck and shoulder areas where little red hickeys display themselves proudly. Your shirt buttons were loose, and his breath hitched at the sight of your female softness. He couldn't contain himself.

He softly kisses you again on your slightly open lips, exploring the heated world inside, and without any reservation, you flung your arms around his neck and greedily answered every kiss back.

It was well after 1 am

You both fell into a deep sleep. You comfortably nestled into each other's arms. The bond was highly invigorated and energized, ready to keep you well and emotionally stable for weeks.

The next morning.

The sunlight was streaming into the room. His Soulmate is sleeping soundly on top of his chest, and his arms are embracing you gently around your back and waist. A yawn escaped from Taehyung's mouth. He rubs his eyes,  open, and a soft smile lingers on his lips as he looks down on his sleeping beauty. Your hair was like a beautiful shiny fan across his bare chest.

He looked at the rose-tinted flustered cheeks, your rosy lips that are a little ajar and swollen from all the passionate kisses, and your cute button nose. He immediately becomes attracted to his soulmate again. He had to suppress his renewed desire for his girl.

Taehyung closed his eyes and inhaled deeply. He could smell the coconut and vanilla shampoo on his soulmate's hair. He loves her so much, but the thought of not seeing her for a few weeks didn't hurt him as much as before, which meant that their bond has settled. They will be able to handle the separation. But he will miss her so much. Her loving touches, her sweet smile, and her kisses.

He groans at the that of not touching her for a few weeks. Her kisses spoiled him so much.

He gently moves his girl and lets her enjoy her needed sleep. He was kissing her softly on the forehead. He decided to go to his room and take a cool shower. The day is very clear, and the summer heat is in full swing.

He looks in the mirror and shook his head in awe at the evidence on his neck and near his chest area.

"Omg...!" his eyes widen when He saw red fingernail marks on his hips and back. Last night was wild and passionate. But thank God, they didn't succumb to the temptation. They would've been in a great mess. But oh, gosh! Did he enjoy his soulmate's loving kisses?

If his Hyungs saw the state of his body, he'll never hear the end of their teasing. He can imagine Jin-Hyungs and Jimin'reaction. Jimin will think and say the most perverted things.

Yoongi will wait and tease him easily in at unexpected times and places, Namjoon will give his quiet smirk, Jhope will laugh at him anytime he sees him, and Jungkook will be too embarrassed to ask for details. That's how awkward he is.

At least his shirts can cover his neck and shoulder areas, but luckily, the evidence he left on his girl is covered by her dresses. His face flushed red when he thought about their night.

He then decided to make them a light breakfast.

He made some calls to make adjustments to his soulmate's flight details for tomorrow. He will not compromise his soulmate's safety.

You suddenly open your eyes when you feel featherlight kisses on your face. When you look into the sparkling eyes of your soulmate, your blush bright red and quickly cover your face with the silk duvet.  He laughs and pulls the covers down from your face. You embarrassedly cover your face with your hands.

Taehyung chuckled at your adorableness. You are so cute.

"Good morning, darling...did you sleep well?" he sat next to you at the side of the bed. His smile only widens at your shy face.

"Good morning Tealove...yes thank you and you?"You asked with a wide smile.

"Like a baby...I made you something light to eat...are you hungry?" he asked.

You nodded and thanked him," Aren't you going to eat?"

"I just nibble on a piece of bacon...after last night's full meal, I'm still ok...but I drank a cup of coffee."

He placed the tray on the bed in front of you. You look with deep affection at your caring soulmate. How lucky could you get? The light breakfast was delicious. Taehyung made you a hot cup of cappuccino. He took your tray and placed it on the dresser counters.

You look appreciative to your soulmate. He looks so handsome and refreshes after the fun time you had last night. Your face flushed, and your eyes widen when you saw the red marks at the top of his chest. Did you do that?OMG. Since when are you so expressive in showing your love?

"Gosh, Taelove...what d..did I do to you...omg!!" you buried your head in your hands.

Taehyung laughs out loudly at the embarrassment you experience.

"Oh, it's ok...how could I be mad at my little vixen ...?" he nonchalantly uttered with a teasing grin on his face

Your jaws dropped, "Taelove...it's not funny...our friends will think the worse." You look worried.

Taehyung ruffle your bed hair." The fact that we spend the whole night together is already a factor...but don't fret. It's not that bad...but I can't say about my back and hip areas" he saw with amusement how your cute face turned horrified.

"W..what do you mean by that?", You ask cautiously, fearing the worse. Oh gosh! What happened to you?

He tried not to smirk at your worried demeanor and press his lips together to hide it. He lifted his shirt and turned around. He started to chuckle when he saw the look on your face in the mirror.

You jumped out of bed and stood behind him. On his toned back, you saw the damage your nails did on his tan skin. Your blood drained from your face.

"O...my word Tae, d...did I claw you up like a wild tigress? I'm so sorry, Taelove...does it hurt?" Touching the areas softly with the tips of your fingers.Taehyung visibly shivers under your touch.

Last night you couldn't get enough of him. The evidence is right in front of you.

" Don't worry, love, and It was one awesome night. I wouldn't mind for an encore...the way you ripped my shirt open was hot!!!" He teasingly says. You quickly took a pillow and tackled him.

"Don't say that! I'm already embarrassed. How could you let me do that to you?" You breathlessly uttered.

"Why would you let me do THAT to you?" he retorted back.

Taehyung gestures to your chest area, your black silk shirt is short of two buttons...You look where his eyes linger...your eyes widen in shock. You quickly turn around and run to the nearest mirror to check what he meant.

In the middle of your cleavage area, you saw a few red marks. You look wide-eyed and open jaw at it.OMG!LiuMei will have a field day when she sees it.

"Taehyung !!!!" You shriek, You turned around, and the culprit is already out of the door. You could hear the echo of his laughter. You are going to kill him. You ran out as he sprints around the open deck area.

"Ok, I'm sorry darling...but in my defense, we weren't in our right mind last night. It could've been worse. Just thank God we didn't start our family". He chuckles, lifting his arms in defense. You look exasperated.

Your face is more flustered than ever, " OMG Taehyung...our friends will have a field day...my mom's reaction...MingMei...LiuMei !! "

Taehuyng smile and quickly embraced you into his arms. "Don't worry so much, darling, and we'll just cover up at best."

You look into your soulmate's amused eyes, "Your Hyungs  and your stylist...omg Taelove...they'll think you were very naughty...?" You are more horrified than ever.

"Baby, look at me..." He turns your chin up to him," we red gold mated...we overcame last night...Jin-Hyung and his soulmate failed, they couldn't even last that first test. We did. We can handle the string now..." he lovingly strokes your cheek.

You look fearful up into his eyes," I'm scared of the string..Taelove".Your lips started to tremble," last night I wanted you so much...it wasn't funny. When you kissed me....I didn't want you to stop. How in the world will we beat it next time.?"

His hold on you tightens as he feels your fear. He felt the same way. How did they beat the most powerful string? They weren't even aware half of the time. Anything could've happened last night.

" I love every moment in your arms, darling. And I don't regret anything. We will have to be more careful...we will have to manage our string...we are still newly mated, look at Jin-Hyung he is more than a year mated, but he can't handle it most of the time...let's not be hard on ourselves ok?"  you nod as he kissed you on the forehead.

" My pilot will come at 10 am. So, You have enough time to get ready, ok. Don't fret about anything, ok, did you call your parents about your new flight details..."

You nod, " yes, my Dad and Dylan will come to fetch me at the airport. My flight is at 9 am tomorrow."
He furrows his brows," Dylan?" He doesn't like it one bit. How will he protect her with that idiot best friend of hers?

You pulled a face, "Yeah! He insists, and my Dad is a very mellow guy."

" Listen, darling, and I've booked you a charter flight back home. I don't feel at ease with you going all by yourself. My mind will be too clouded, worrying about your safe journey...Mr. Park and Me Cheong will go with us. You'll meet Jin-hyungs soulmate. She's going  for business in  Beijing for two days..."

Omg, you going to meet Jin's soulmate.

"Oh, Taelove...It would be best if you didn't go through all that trouble," you protest.

"My darling, your safety is my priority...nothing is too hard or much for you..." he strokes your face gently as he looks intensely at you..." I will go to any lengths to make sure you're safe and you are traveling comfortably " with that said he embraced you warmly.

"Thank you, Taelove", Your hug tighten around his waist.

You lift your face and smile. Taehyung smiles deep into your eyes, kissing you softly and gently on your lips. You return the gentle kiss—your goodbyes.

Taehyung gave you a gift in the form of his bracelet and necklace that he always wears on stage. He wants you to ever feel near him during his tour performances. His is custom-made, and now it belongs to you.

He also gives you gift bags from the boys, Hobi's gift to Ming Mei, and his gift to your mom. You are so thankful for the boys' generosity.

You are going to miss him so much. But with the settling of your bond, you'll be able to cope. 

.......

After a refreshing shower and a change of clothes, you feel relieved that the hickeys are all covered up. You don't even know how you would've explained it to your parents and Dylan?

After you both make sure all your belongings are packed. You and Tae tidy up the place even if the crew resumes their job.

Taehyung let you drive the boat a very few meters from the dock. Taes helicopter came and picked you up. You and Tae thank the crew for everything.

You had an unforgettable date with Taehyung.

In the helicopter, you quietly sat cuddled in each other's arms, " I'm going to miss you much. Can't wait for you to join me in Japan".

"What are you doing today?" you smile up into his face.

" We are leaving tonight for Bangkok, Hong kong. Fortunately, Hobi-Hyung already helped him pack the previous night." Their Wings album in Japanese will also be released tomorrow.

"You are going to have incredible shows. I'll watch it online and follow all your latest news. I'm a Taehyung -stan, so no flirting with the young fans, only the 50-year-old noonas." You lovingly tease him.

He chuckled and kiss your forehead softly," my heart only beats for you...and no strange things between you and Dylan...and made sure about your hotel rooms. Best friend or not, I don't want my girl to share rooms. Dylan mustn't try anything". He pouts cutely.

You giggle as you sense the jealousy in his voice," Don't worry, my heart only beats for you," and with that, you kiss him on the cheek. He just shook his head, smiling.

You talk about your families, internships, and your auditions in Shanghai. Taehyung is very proud of you. He told you about his photography projects under Vante.

You promise to follow his online accounts as an alias. He sends you some of the photos he took of you during your stay.

He sent her images of the FILA photoshoot. At least you can explain your photo together. You are so giddy to have a selcas with the group.

You'll send it LiuMei also.
It was after 11 am that you land back in Seoul. Your bodyguards were already waiting at the black SUV to take you back to the hotel and Taehyung home.

Inside the SUV, you and Taehyung occupied the back Seats while your bodyguards sat in the front seats so that the soulmates can have some privacy.

Where you sat cuddled on his chest, you could feel how his heart is beating faster, and you glance up. Taehyung whole demeanor changed into sadness.

"I...I don't want to let you go, darling...how will I cope without your presence," he softly whispers.

"I'm going to be with you soon...we can Skype and text a lot...think about our time on the yacht ...You can watch my Ad  if you miss me too much ...cause I got many things of you to keep me sane." 

You stroke his cheek softly as he took your palm and kisses it. Shivers went through you at the soft touch of his lips.

Back at the hotel's underground parking, your bodyguards gave you time to say goodbye.

Taehyung took a moment to capture your lips passionately, and with your arms tightly around his neck, you answer the call of passion.

A/N  Another update. I hope you like the two soulmates' date on the yacht, their struggle with the Red gold, and their separation.
