Update!
Update!
So this chapter is proving to be tricky to write. It's taking more time than they normally do for me, and its turned into a MOSTER.
I wanted to post this weekend, but I don't know if that'll happen.
It's turned out a lot longer then I intended.... So I am having to rework it. My original plan has me halfway through the chapter at around 5k words.
SO I'M SPLITTING IT.
Plus work is crazy right now, I have no time.
Soulmate will be revealed soon, any last guesses???

An insight into 2 of my upcoming series. I love creating new worlds and concepts. Don't be completely fooled by the colour pallets though, or the songs I've listed.

Good day

Hello lovey, I hope you have a great day as well. Here’s a tired bb jk for your travels

It's pretty obvious to me that it's jimin especially because of the yellow balloon hahaha i know it's from the serendipity mv

I can see it. Jimin is definitely a favourite.
Jimin and JK are top guesses, right from the beginning. People have also assumed Jhope. All are totally understandable. Once you find the hint trail within the story itself, it's hard not to see it.

Author's notes: Any guesses on who her soulmate could be?
Let me know what you think. I'd really appreciate feedback!

“How much longer are you two going to be? I’m tired.” A voice sounded from the back of the room where a body laid across the couch in partial sleep.
“Hyung— I tell you every time, you don’t have to come.” The tall brunette mumbled, while spinning his chair from the sound board to look at the other male.
You muffle a chuckle when you hear an unintelligible slur of words respond back.
“Taehyung, why don’t we pick this up next time? You guys are filming tomorrow anyways, so you should get some sleep.” You suggest leaning against the wall, with tea in hand.
“I know, but this song is so close to being done, and I just really want to finish it for ARMY.” Taehyung lets out an exasperated sigh, turning himself back around to face the monitors.
“ARMY understands that you want this to be perfect; what they won’t want is you stressing yourself out over it.” You state matter-of-factly; walking over to him and placing a hand on his right shoulder.
“You’re right.” He sighs again “As always... But can you check out this part one more time?”
“Alright. Then we’re calling it a day.” You say firmly.
Taeyhung rolls his chair over to the left so you can reach the set of headphones hanging on a stand. As you’re listening to the part in the track he requested, you lean over the desk to reread the lyrics the three of you wrote down during the recording session. The track ends and you take off the headphones, placing them on the desk.
You turn around and cross your bare arms over your chest, as you go to speak without looking at either boy.
“Honestly I think-“ you start.
“Y/N… you have a yellow balloon….” Yoongi cuts you off.
You look up shocked. As you make eye contact, you realize all three of you have the same shocked expression.
Your breath hitches as you instinctively reach over your shoulder to touch where your soulmate tattoo sits on your back.
“Uh… yea. Kind of random right?” You fail to play off with a slightly too nervous chuckle. “Of all things, a yellow balloon.”
There's a moment of silence before Yoongi stands from the couch and begins speaking.
“Do you know who-?”
“N-“ You try cutting off the question, but Taehyung interrupts you.
“Liar.” He barks, with an aggression laced in his voice that makes you jump. “You can’t lie to me, so don’t try now.”
You look away from your twin flame, chewing on your bottom lip, unable to face him.
“How long have you known?” He demands.
You take a deep breath, failing to come up with a plan to weasel your way out of the conversation. This is not one you wanted to have, ever. If only you hadn’t taken your sweater off.
Normally you’re more careful hiding your soulmate mark. Always wearing things that hide it, and leaving your hair down. You never wanted anyone to find out about it.
“Y/N” Taehyung warns, when you take too long to answer.
“I don’t know, like two months?” You exclaim, throwing your arms into the air as you walk away from your position against the desk.
“TWO MONTHS?!” Yoongi practically shouts in disbelief. “You’ve known for two months and you haven’t told him?!”
“Oh right, because it's so easy to tell someone, who blatantly says he wishes he didn’t have a soulmate and hates the whole concept of it, that I’m his soulmate.” The words rush from your mouth before you can stop them. “I’ve never even talked to him before. I don’t think he’s even noticed me. You get what that means right? Our bond is dulled because of his hate for it.”
“Trust me, Y/N. I know that’s what it seems like, but he doesn’t hate it.” Taehyung counters “He doesn’t trust it, he’s been used before because of it. People have used it to try to get things from him. He’s just hurt.”
“A lot of people have been hurt by having a ‘soulmate’, Tae. We don’t all choose to hurt our soulmates because of it.” You make your way over to the couch, not trusting your legs to keep you standing up.
Both boys stay quiet staring at you unsure of what to say to defend their friend without damaging the current situation. You interlock your hands, leaning forward in your seat.
“-Please,” You finally say, staring at your hands. “Don’t tell anyone.”
They glance at each other, worry evident on their faces.
“You have to promise me you wont tell anyone, especially him. He can’t find out.” You look at them, faces completely blank.
Your twin flame nods slowly, nudging his hyung to agree.
“We promise.” Yoongi finally says.
“Just promise us, that if anything happens you call us.” Taehyung begs.
“Ok, fine.” You nod. “You guys should go now.”
Yoongi and Taehyung grab their things and make their way to the door, both mumbling a goodnight as they exit the room, shutting the door behind them. You are left with the realization that your secret is out. It had been weighing on you for the past two months like carrying the whole country on your shoulders. However, the change and the panic that came with it weren’t something you were ready to face.
Leaning back on the couch, you stare at the ceiling and fall back into that memory from 2 months ago which you so desperately have tried to erase.

Author's notes: Any guesses on who her soulmate could be?
I’m sorry in advance, but I had to split this one into two. ✌🏻🥺💜
masterlist

Laughter bounces off the walls of the recording studio. Both you and Jin are doubled over in a failing attempt to stop laughing. Your fits of laughter worsen with each glance up at Namjoon . You were crying and wheezing, unable to catch your breath. Jin wasn’t faring much better. Namjoon however, was still sitting in his chair facing you two with a look of embarrassment mixed with confusion.
In an attempt to show off his excitement for the track you had worked on and the mix with Jin's vocals, the God of Destruction forgot he had the cordless mouse in his hand. Which ended up with him throwing it across the room, barely missing you as you ducked. The mouse shattering against the far wall on impact.
You all stood there, completely frozen until Namjoon spoke.
“I have a spare just in case this happens again.”
You and Jin then looked at each other, both coming to the realization that destroying his mouse had happened before. Most likely, more than once. The thought of which then sent you both into your currently painful laughing session.
You found it a lot easier to work with Jin and Namjoon than with Yoongi and Tae. You felt at ease, no worries about having to throw yourself a ‘my soulmate doesn’t want me’ pity party; Where you spent most of the time talking the boys out of exposing your secret, compared to actually working on tracks. With Jin and Namjoon you actually worked on tracks. You were grateful for the distraction.
You got to know the boys, finally being able to appreciate them not just as members of BTS, but as individuals. That’s what spending 6 hours together in the studio would do.
You were now at the soundboard, adjusting instruments on the track, both men sitting on the couch behind you eating instant ramen.
The topic casually turns away from the track as you work, and on to more personal things.
“I met my soulmate 2 years ago.” Jin explains “I met her while walking around Seoul, she had just moved back.”
He goes into detail about their short “dating period” and how she was the one to demand their relationship become ‘official’. He felt the same way but had been too nervous to bring it up, so of course he was super excited. He mentions his plans to propose to her after his military service.
“I met mine too” Namjoon chimes in “almost a year ago”
He had met his soulmate at an art exhibit opening night. They were both super shy about the whole thing, so they decided to take it really slow. They started as friends and then eventually went on their first date, which both parties managed to make it awkward. However once they got over that and had a good long conversation about it, they have been official for around a month.
“What about you, y/n?” Jin asks, “Do you have a soul mark?”
“Uh, yea I have one.” You smile shyly.
“Can we ask what it is?” Namjoon’s interest peaked.
A voice echoes in your mind, repeating those piercing words from yesterday. “Why did I have to have a soulmate? Things would be a lot easier for me if I didn’t. This whole thing is stupid. I can’t do anything I actually want because I ‘have to be careful of my soulmate’ I just want to live, Namjoon. I just want to feel.”
“If it’s ok with you guys, I’d rather not say.” You reply, unable to come with any explanation.
You hear shuffling behind you, before one of them speaks again.
“Do you not want to meet your soulmate?” Namjoon asks quietly, making you pause mid thought.
You push back from the soundboard and spin your chair to face them.
“It’s not that exactly,” you try to organize your thoughts. If this conversation is going to continue you have to come up with a plan. So, you settle on a vague truth. “It’s more like I’m not sure if I want to know?”
“Like you’re afraid of who your soulmate is?” Jin asks cautiously. Clearly trying to decipher your answers.
“Or what your soulmate will think of you?” Namjoon adds.
“I think there are a lot of uncertainties when it comes to having a soulmate. I’ve seen it do great things for people and I’ve seen it do…. not so great things.” You reply, meticulously picking your words. “Some people like Yoongi who don’t have a mark, wish they did and some who have it wish they didn’t. But who’s to say which is better.”
“Our pasts dictate our decisions now. That’s how I’ve gotten to where I am now, just like all your decisions have affected you along the way. Which is what has made you have faith in your marks and bonds. From what I’ve seen, bonds can make it hard to see right from wrong. I guess I’m more worried about how having the bond will affect me. Positively or negatively. Each bond is different for a reason.” You finish.
You can see each boy going over your words. Namjoon nods to himself in understanding. Jin looks up from his lap with a sorrowful look in his eye.
“Umm Tae told me you lost your brother because of his mark…” he trails off, unable to formulate his questions.
“Yea.” You confirm “My brother's soulmate killed him.”
Namjoons head shoots up in surprise.
“Y/n, I-“ Jin starts
“It’s ok.” You reassure him. “It’s not a secret. And it happened, there’s nothing I can do to change that. I’ve accepted it, I grieved and now I’m continuing on with my life as my brother would have wanted. Reaching my dreams.”
You give them a big smile, gesturing to the studio room. You are reaching your dream. Your brother always supported your music and here you were, working with top artists in the industry.
“So, if we’re done with the sappy, share-my-feelings fest-- I have an idea for the bridge.” You shudder. “And I’d like to get this done before I have to deal with two more boyscouts tomorrow.”
They both let out a nervous chuckle and walk over as you begin to explain your idea.
Maybe these boy scouts weren’t so bad.

The next morning you are waiting in the studio, already working on the track. Late last night you had a stroke of inspiration, from which you left yourself voice memos. You were itching all morning to get back in and work on it, not allowing yourself to wallow in your anxiety. The boys had decided to come in as pairs, thankfully that would mean you weren’t going to be alone with your soulmate. However, you had no idea who was pairing with whom.
You fidget constantly, your nerves bubbling up. There’s a knock at the door. You take a deep breath before getting up from your seat and making your way over to the door. Placing your hand on the door knob, you hesitate. Quickly giving yourself a pep talk you open the door only to have a large heavy mass fling itself at you, almost knocking you off balance.
“Firefly!” Taehyung sang, firmly glomped to you.
“Hi Tae.” You respond, petting his moppy hair. You look over his shoulder to see the other figure. “Hello, Hoseok.”
“Hello, Y/N.” He greets you warmly.
“Alright, alright. Get off me,” You try to push the younger off of you, “we have work to do.”
You walk back over to your chair to ready the track for the boys’ first listen. Hoseok sits down on the couch, while Taehyung opts to stand next to you.
“Are you going to be ok with all of this?” He asks quietly.
“It is what it is, Tae.” You sigh. “I just want to focus on work, please.”
He peers over his shoulder to the older boy.
“Ok, y/n. Work it is.” He beems back at you. “Hit it!”
After the boys listen to the partial track a few times, they begin to work on their suggestions and adjustments, sending Tae in and out of the booth trying and reworking vocals. 3 hours into the session, Taehyung starts to lose focus.
“Firefly,” He whines from the couch. “will you go with me to the new light show this weekend?”
“Of course. What time is it?” You ask, not bothering to look away from the monitors.
“It doesn’t start ‘til 11pm.” He replies.You think for a moment.
“Ok, only if we can go to - “ You start.
“[Y/n’s favorite restaurant's name]” you both say in unison, as he walks over to you and you stand up.
Smiling, you hear chuckling from across the room. In making plans for the weekend you both seem to have forgotten that there is another person in the room.
“You guys seem really close.” Hoseok comments. “I don’t get how that happened so fast. Tae normally takes ages to warm up to people.”
You blink in confusion, turning to look at Taehyung. For the two of you it had been obvious, your twinflames recognized each other instantly. However, Yoongi was the only person you both had told. Only now did the realization that neither of you had actually told anyone else dawned on you.
“Ooooooooo,” Taehyung finally responds. “Hoseok-hyung, this is Y/N L/N, my twinflame.”
You nod in agreement, as you make eye contact with his hyung.
“Tae, that's amazing!” He exclaims excitedly. “ I’m so happy for you guys! Does anyone else know?”
“Only Yoongi, I guess we forgot to mention it to anyone else.” You laugh in response.
Over the rest of your session, Hoseok asks more questions about the twinflame bond.
You knew previously that Hoseok was a cheerful, bright and bubbly personality, but to see him in the studio was a whole other experience. His attention to details, his ability to understand the vibe of a song and keep Tae focused was impressive to say the least. His confidence on stage rivalled his confidence in the studio. It made your heart flutter, to watch him in action.
As time ticked on, the boys agreed that they should head back to the dorms for the day. They packed up their stuff, and you mentioned that you would be staying a little longer. Negotiating with Tae on when you would be leaving, he finally agrees.
You walk to the door with them to say goodbye.
“Y/n, I would really like it if we could get together sometime, outside of the studio.” Hoseok gives you a hesitant smile.
“I’d like that too.” You smile back at him. He gives you a brief hug and then walks away. Your heart flutters again at his physical comfortability with you.
Arms engulf you in a warm, gentle hug from behind.
“You’re doing great, Firefly.” Tae says before walking away to catch up to his hyung.
You sigh to yourself, now alone in the room. You can do this. You can do this.

The next day you arrive later than you originally planned. You had spent the morning psyching yourself up for the day. Which apparently took longer than intended.
You realize the studio door is unlocked; the next pair of members are already in there. You shake off the tension rising in your body before opening the door.
Yoongi is standing in front of the soundboard with headphones on. You smile to yourself, staring at him, to the point you forgot there is someone else in the room. A throat clears next to you, making you tense a little. You turn to see the blonde shaggy haired man standing up from the couch to greet you.
“Hi, I’m Jimin.” He says politely. “Sorry for being in your studio already. Tae gave us your passcode.”
“It’s ok, I was meaning to give it to Yoongi anyways.” You reply back, still staring at his hyung. You begin making your way over to the older, but turn back mid walk. “Y/N, by the way.”
Jimin stares at you as you walk over to his hyung. You lean against the desk, so Yoongi will see you but not to interrupt him. Yoongi looks over to you, nods and takes the headphones off.
“This is really good.” He comments. “You’re doing a great job, Handling yourself...really well.”
He eyes you up and down suspiciously. You aren’t looking half as bad as he thought you would be. You place a hand on his shoulder.
“I’m handling everything ok so far.” You agree. “Besides, between you and Tae, It feels like I’m being chaperoned. What, will both of you be here tomorrow?”
“Don’t test us” He chuckles threateningly.
Jimin watches your interaction intently.
Yesterday during dinner, Taehyung had told everyone that you were his twinflame. Hoseok was jumping with excitement and the rest were cheering for him. They all noticed how unfazed Yoongi was by it. So, they assumed that the older one already knew and the way you two interacted seemed to prove their suspicions
“You guys ready? Let's do this.” You push Yoongi out of the way and take a seat in your chair.
A few hours later. Yoongi pipes up about running over to his studio and grabbing some equipment.
“I’ll be fine.” You say as he looks at you wearily. He tells Jimin he’ll be back in a couple minutes and leaves the studio.
“Jimin, do you think you would be able to cover background vocals for Jin here?” You question turning your head to the right. Without you knowing he had moved from across the room to stand next to you. You jump a little.
“Yea, I think I can do that.” He smiles at you brightly. “So, you’re Tae’s twinflame...and Yoongi-hyung’s best friend now?”
You laugh at the apparent situation you’ve gotten yourself into.
“Weird right?” Keeping the conversation light.
“I’m guessing you know Tae has a soul mark?” He asks. You had a feeling this was going to come up.
“Yep, we talked about it during our first real interaction.” You stated, thinking back to when you ran right into Taehyung the first time you met. “I’m happy for him. He deserves someone who makes him truly happy. Him and Yoongi both.”
Jimin remains silent for a little while. You go back to switching through effects on the soundboard.
“Do you have a soul mark?” He inquires. Your breath hitches for a moment, hands frozen in place before answering.
“Mhmm.” Was all you said.
“....have you met them yet?” He continues. You push your chair away from the desk, leaning back and crossing your arms over your chest. Facing him, you eye him suspiciously.
“My bond hasn't been completed.” You ghost around the truth.
“But you want to meet them?” He pushes.
Thinking carefully you answer, “I think at this point in my life, if I meet them, I meet them and if I don’t I don’t.”
He nods his head in understanding.
“How about you?” You turn the conversation away from yourself.
“Not yet, but if -” He’s cut off by Yoongi entering the room.
“So, I had another idea about adding synths into the chorus.” The older states, setting up his equipment.
“Sounds good.” You smile again at Jimin before turning to Yoongi.
How many more times are you going to have to dance around your truth? It was so much easier when no one noticed you or cared enough to ask. Tomorrow. You just have to get through tomorrow. That’s the only thought keeping you going.

You just have to make it through today. You had days booked off after today. You were moving into a bigger apartment now that you could afford. You got the keys yesterday, planned to finish packing tomorrow, and actually move things in the following days. Escaping your matchstick studio apartment was something you've been excited about and it was finally happening.
You are mixing Jimin and Jins vocals together with your headphones on. You were deep in thought when a hand landing on your shoulder makes you jump.You fling the headphones off your head and quickly look up to see your twinflame smiling at you.
“Seriously Tae, I almost had a heart attack.” You exclaim clutching your chest trying to breathe again.
“I’m sorry, Firefly.” He manages to wheeze out between laughing.
You look over his shoulder to see Jungkook standing shyly in the doorway. Shoving a still laughing Taehyung out of your way, you make your way over to the youngest member.
“Hi, I’m Y/N.” You greet warmly.
“Jungkook.” He replies sheepishly.
“Why don’t you come in and we can get started.” You gesture into the room. He nods at you and heads in.
When he walks past you, you notice a smaller figure behind him. You shift your weight onto one side and cross your arms over your chest, giving the figure a once over, you smirk.
“Ah, you would be chaperone number 2 then?” You remark.
“I told you not to test us.” Yoongi replies following the younger.
You roll your eyes and close the door behind him.
The four of you work diligently on the track, making Jungkook try vocal run after vocal run. He’s more than willing to do anything you throw at him. Eventually, you have enough good material locked in. The track wasn’t set to be released for a couple of months, leaving you with plenty of time to fine tune it with the help of the others.
Thankfully over the course of these 7 hours, you had managed to avoid talking about anything soulmate related. The youngest member eventually relaxes in your company, opening up about himself and glueing himself to you. He began following you around the studio, sitting next to you or near you at all times. Surprisingly, you enjoyed it a lot more than you would have thought. Warmth spreads through you whenever you catch him staring.
“Is it ok if we call it a day?” You ask, rubbing your temples. “I still have a lot of packing to do.”
“Still not finished?” Yoongi asks from the desk.
“No, I didn’t realise I had so much stuff.” You sigh in frustration.
“What’s going on?” Jungkook perks up from beside you.
“Y/N is supposed to be moving tomorrow.” Taehyung responds for you. “I can come over and help you finish packing tonight.”
“Are you sure? You really don’t have to...” You whine.
“I may not be able to help you actually move into your new place but I can at least help you finish packing and cleaning.” He sulks.
“I’m coming tonight too, I’ll bring food.” Yoongi chimes in.
“I love you guys!” You cheer, the thought of free food changing your mood.
“Are you going to be ok moving everything on your own?” Yoongi asks.
“It’ll take me a while, but I think I can manage.” You nod to yourself.
Yoongi and Tae look at you skeptically.
“Look Tae, you have filming and Yoongi you are working with that new solo artist.” You remember, standing up from the couch and walking toward them. “I’ll manage on my own really.”
“Can I help, Y/N?” Jungkook quietly questions from behind you. You turn to look at him.
“Kook, you really don’t need to.” You try to dissuade him.
“It’s really ok!” He replies. “I’m not working on anything and neither are some of the others. We can help!”
You stare at him unsure.
“C’mon Firefly, let them help you.” Taehyung pleads, knocking his hip into yours. You squint at him suspiciously. Not noticing Jungkook typing away on his phone.
“Please? We can help.” He says excitedly. “Jimin-ah, Hobi-hyung and Jin-hyung said they can help as well.”
He holds his phone out to you, showing you the replies in the group chat.
“I don’t know-” You start.
“Please..?” He fake sniffles, staring into your eyes, a pout forming on his lips.
Warmth spreads to your cheeks, unable to maintain eye contact you look away quickly.
‘Damn, he’s really cute.’ You think to yourself. You peer over at him, he’s still staring giving you big sparkly eyes and his bunny smile, making you smile in return.
“Aish, fiiiiine!” You groan in defeat, eyes rolling. “You can help.”
“Yaaaaay” His big, doe eyes shining brightly, as he starts to text the chat again.
What have you gotten yourself into...
