The atmosphere at the breakfast table was very comfortable, with lots of teasing and laughing. They were talking about how the tour will resume in a few days and how they could not wait for the extended vacation that awaited the group.

The anticipation of the next Bangtan vacation was lifting the group's spirits.

Seokjin was nibbling on a pork sausage as he looked at you with interest. "So, you finally chose to come live in Seoul with your Taelove?"

You nodded, "Yes, I am still waiting for my acceptance, but I am optimistic my transfer will go smoothly."

Samiya grinned, "I was so scared at first to come and be a student in a foreign country. I mean, who would not be? It is like jumping into a pool of jelly without knowing if it is wobbly or solid! If it had not been for my best friend Alia, I would never have picked South Korea or Konkuk University. But I guess that was fate. I met my worldwide handsome, and I am eternally grateful." She said this with affection in her eyes as she gazed at Seokjin, who pouted his lips asking her to kiss them.

You just chuckle," I imagine. You were already well-known in your home country, and being a celebrity and public figure might be intimidating."

Jungkook nodded, "Fortunately for me, our school was specifically created for trainees and debuting idols. But it was still difficult with all the looks and private images they took of you. It is not comfortable to be constantly scrutinised."

Jimin agreed: "At least you will be on the road with us if your studies are not too constrained."

Taehyung smiled and gave you a side hug. "My girl is very adaptive. She will stay in my Seoul apartment, but when we get home, she will join the Bells."

You chuckle quietly, "Sami can come visit me if she is not on tour."

"Absolutely! The President Hills house is much too terrifying to be alone there, particularly during thunderstorms, and Seokjin's flat may be quite lonely," Sami said with a smile.

Jimin glances over to Seokjin and asks, "Are we plan on going swimming?The mornings are not too hot."

"Sure, then we can head to your mancave and play a quick game of snooker," Seokjin said with a nod.

Taehyung moaned, "Kookie is an ace who enjoys making bets."

"Of course," Jungkook laughed." You and Jimin consistently underestimate my abilities. But perhaps we might be partners, my beloved Taelove."

Sami smiled, "Taekook at his finest. Funsize and I will just clean up first and maybe lounge on the patio. Ji-ho is preoccupied with a shoot. She promised to call us."

You smile as you finish your cranberry juice, saying, "I would like to know how the group mv shoot is going."

Sami glanced at you with concern, "She tries to be optimistic, but I can tell she is stressed out."

After breakfast, they all applaud Sami for her efforts. Taehyung and Jungkook assisted in clearing the table, while Jimin and Seokjin ran off the dress in their swimming shorts. As you glanced at your soulmate, feelings of admiration, love, and affection filled your heart. You can not believe you are already four months bonded. It felt like aeons of years because of how much happened to you. You are eagerly anticipating the next stage of your life.

Taehyung and Jungkook were laughing heartily as the sun played with his golden hair. You would not believe the level of gorgeousness and allure your soulmate was radiating at that moment—it was like they just stepped off a magazine cover, but with way more charm and a sprinkle of mischief! Your body decided to throw a surprise party for him, and you were not even invited! His presence left you in a state of want.

"Gosh girl" you scolded yourself, "keep it down." You bit your lip and hastily looked away at the crockery in front of you, feeling your cheeks flame up.

As you collected and organised the dirty dishes for the dishwasher, Taehyung could feel your gaze on him. Sami was cleaning down all of the counters and putting the remaining juices in the fridge for later, while discussing the afternoon's veggie and dessert menus. But your attention was not on her as you felt your soulmate move.

Taehyung grins teasingly, "You miss me?" Leaning against the counter, he watched you as you blushed slightly, his eyes sparkling with curiosity.

You nodded breathlessly, "Yes, a lot."

You hurriedly turned your attention as you closed the dishwasher, not wanting your soulmate to see your unexpected attraction. But after the settling of the bond, our emotions were easily to tapped in. Even though it is embarrassing, you just can not get enough Taelove. You wonder if the other soulmates share your disturbing desires and emotions.

Taelove is so in tuned into your desires that he knows exactly what you want at that moment. He was being turned on a thousand degrees by the heat of your stare. His body was rebellious and desired to be near to you.

With a wide grin on his face, he grabbed your hand and exclaimed, "Er guys...please carry on. I want to see some... sights with Yun."

Your eyes widen as you frown at your soulmate. "Taelove, are not you going to swim with the guys?" You bit your lip as he stared at you intently. He understands exactly what you desire at that moment, which drives you insane.

He winks at you. "Your needs come first. So, let me treat you to some chocolate dessert. We can join the group a little later."

Sami and Jungkook exchanged glances that betrayed their amusement. Jungkook's big smile already means that he is going to start teasing again. You already know that the hyungline at home will find out about how hard it is for you and Taes to control your feelings.

Jungkook wrinkled his eyes, "Is this a new way of telling us you want to spend some quality time with a Funsize...sightseeing in your bedroom?" He clicked his tongue while he mopped the floor in the kitchen area. You and Tae just grinned, not embarrassed at all.

Once the bond has settled, you will feel really excited and attracted to each other. Right now, you want your soulmate, and you do not care. Why was he so attractive today? Why, just to tempt you?

"You are forgiven, young love," said Sami, nodding with a knowing smile in her nut-brown eyes". Enjoy your exploration time. It will take some time to settle into the bond. Right now, you are still in the honey phase. "

She can hardly wait to tell Seokjin. Sami chuckled quietly when she noticed you looking awkward. The smile on Seokjin's soulmate's face does not indicate anything positive.

They will have a great time with the two Maknae soulmates who are unable to cope with the strong emotions and have just recently begun to enjoy their union.

"Thank you...see you in two hours then--" Taehyung grinned.

Your eyes widen as your soulmate drags you out of the kitchen area and sprints to your chambers through the hallways.

You could already hear Sami and Jungkook snickering. They were in full teasing mode.

You almost ran into Jimin and Seokjin as they emerged from their rooms, bare chested with flower-patterned beach shorts and towels thrown over their arms.

Their eyes were startled by the whirlwind that went by. Snickering and giggling.

You turned hastily while Tae continued to drag you. "Er sorry!" You yell behind you as Seokjin and Jimin freeze, watching you rush down the corridor to your assigned room. You are excited to jump into each other's arms.

Jimin furrowed his brow. "What was that?"

Seokjin shrugged, "I am not sure...come on, let us go dive before the sun becomes too hot."
.....

When you and Tae finally stumble into your room, bursting into fits of giggles over the sheer ridiculousness of what just went down. Taehyung dashed to lock the door and shut the curtains, while you could not help but chuckle at his over-the-top excitement.

As Taehyung ripped off his white T-shirt quickly, he laughed and said, "They will tease us no matter what, but right now I just want you."

"Then we must waste time..." you say with a soft laugh as you start to undo your shirt. Even though you were still having trouble unbuttoning, Taehyung stood in front of you and helped you quickly get out of your top.

As you began vigorously kissing one other, your breathing were hurried and ragged.

Taehyung laughs softly as he scoops you up in his arms and pushes you down on the soft bed covers, kissing you with all the hunger and need inside him.

Your hands simultaneously find their way in his golden strands, pulling him down to match his passion...

.....

When Jungkook told them that Taehyung and Yunru had the feels, everyone in the kitchen laughed.

Jimin erupted in laughter, saying, "Wow, this bond is not fair; it wants you to act quickly."His expression was amused.

Jungkook chuckled while munching on an apple, "What if it happens on stage and Yunru gets some strange vibes and Taetae just dives right into that? He would forget to sing or dance his part. Namjoon and Hobi will get a fit."

Sami and Seokjin only snickered. "That will be something," Jin said with a gleam in his eyes.

He recalls his and Sami's first days together after the bond. It was difficult because they did not stay together and had to keep it a secret at all times. They usually slip away during class to meet at their secret office.

Poor Taehyung's emotions and hormones will be heightened if Yunrus' cravings become excessive.

Jimin smiles as he and Jin go towards the sparkling pool, "It is going to be quite exciting with those two in the coming weeks."

Jungkook snorted, "Taehyung better not get Yunru knocked up ... they are like a couple of firecrackers over there!"

Sami smiled, "Well, wait until you have to settle your bond. You might be worse than Taehyung."

Jungkook smirked, "I still need to get my soulmark, but I am not anxious. Maybe I may be Tarnished like Chimmy."

As Sami stood up from the kitchen to contact her best friend for a quick conversation, she grinned and said, "Well, we will just have to wait and see, will we?" laughing. As she settled into the lounge, she watched her love and Jimin swim and laughed.

Jungkook hurried downstairs to change into his swimwear so he could join in on the fun.

.....

Few hours later...

After a passionate morning, you and Taehyung had to give in to the group's constant teasing. But you did not care, even if your beetroot red faces and secret hickies told a great story about what went on behind closed doors.

It was already 1 p.m., and Seokjin suggested you play some board games before barbecuing the meat and fish for your early dinner. Most of you were still full from Sami's delicious breakfast.

Jungkook, the ever-hungry bunny, recommended some nibbles, so he and Jimin stepped in and began preparing. A few soju bottles, banana milk, soda cans, sweet snacks, crackers with excellent cheese and cold meat, and freshly cut seasonal fruit.

The group was seated comfortably around a low table. Taehyung and Jungkook assisted in setting up the game, with Seokjin serving as the banker. Samiya claimed that Seokjin will be less likely to cheat. Both her hubby and their bunny are competitive.

Looking over the board, you frowned, "Er it looks like Monopoly...but somewhat different."

Seokjin laughed and pointed to the board to explain the rules "It is like monopoly but more entertaining with lots of unique twists. It is called  Blue Marble."

You nodded as Taehyung smiled fondly at you, "Darling, you will enjoy it. You are equally as competitive as Kookie. The rules are similar to those of a monopoly, such as buying landmarks, collecting rent, and strategically bankrupting opponents."

Jimin smiles as he hands out tokens to each player. "Yup, Seokjin is the banker. He will give each of us money to start the game. You can buy landmarks and international cities, upgrade your hotels, etc."

Taehyung nodded. "Then you can buy any unowned land or cities, but if you land on someone else's property or city, you must pay rent to the owner."

Jungkook laughs gleefully, "You will like the game, but remember to bring snacks to help you relax."

You seemed excited as you waited in anticipation.

Seokjin's eyes brightened up. "Oh, another rule...there is the golden key. Similar to the chance or committee chest in monopoly. These cards can benefit or harm players." He pointed to the yellow cards and said, "Like getting free money, moving to another city, or paying fines."

Jungkook nodded, saying, "Yes, you can skip travel altogether or use airports to teleport to another airport on the board.Deserted Island is similar to Prison in Monopoly. If you land there, you will obviously miss turns until you roll twice, or you can pay to get out."

Jimin smirks. "Like bribery."

You chuckle, "Okay."

"Then there is world travel," Jungkook said with a smile. "If you land on that place, you can choose to go to another city to travel. And always go for the most expensive place."

Taehyung smiled at your ecstatic face and said, "And we have Trading and Bankruptcy.You can sell your properties or borrow money from the bank if you can not pay your rent."

Jimin smirked and said, "If you go bankrupt, you are out, and the winner is the last person with the most money." Funsize, do you know the rules?"

Nodding, you said, "Easy as pie. Okay, lets get started. Allow me to have a packet of crackers and a juice since I believe a time of extreme stress is approaching."

Taehyung smirked in your eyes as he gently stroked your back. Jungkook moaned inwardly, wondering whether the soulmates did not have enough honey already.

Sami clapped her hands and said, "Okay, let us get started.Im hyped up not to loose this time."

Laughter and giggling broke out as the game began fairly. You could at least manage to buy a few houses; it was enjoyable because everyone followed the rules initially, and you were all meticulous planners when it came to purchasing properties and managing your money.

As snacking hours passed and wrappers and cans accumulated, chaos ensued. Thanks to two famous rule-benders. Seokjin and Jungkook. Calling it Rule breaking will be too obvious.

You and Samiya snickered as you stared at Jimin's furious expression, "Wait...wait oh wait a minute." Jimin narrowed his eyes as he watched Jungkooks pile up money. "Kookie, how the earth do you have so much money left? You should have gone bankrupt four rounds ago, how?" Incredulous, he stared at the nonchalant Kookie.

While shrugging, his bunny grin widened, "Well, Hyung granted me a loan!"

"A loan?" you ask with a wide eye.
 
You all turned to face the offender, banker Kim Seokjin.

Samiya shook her head as she knew her soulmates tendency to be a smug strategist.

Seokjin simply smirked and shrugged his shoulders. "Well, in theory, the game rules do not say that I can not be a private lender. The game's regulations clearly say that the banker is in charge of handling transactions; "He sexily grinned," which is me right from the beginning."

Jimin's eyes were like saucers, and his jaw dropped with betrayal. "That is blatant cheating!"

You were laughing as you slapped the table, and the game just switched to an intensive fun mode," Seokjin-oppa, do not tell us you just invented a completely new financial system in the middle of the game! How brilliant of you."

Samiya, who was observing how the game actually plunged into anarchy, shook her curls in disbelief and gave her unconcerned partner a side eye. "So, Kookie, you effectively took a loan from banker Kim with no interest. And you do not have to repay any loan money." A self-satisfied soulmate smiled at her.

Laughing, Jungkook tossed his dice theatrically and said, "Exactky Noona—it is called business savy."

Jimin huffed, crossing his arms and pouting like a little cute boy, "This is just ridiculous! You always do this, Kookie. Cheating in games is like breathing for you. Do you feel proud of yourself? Why is Seokjin-hyung teaching Kookie such evil?" Everyone around the board was snickering at Jimin so whining and complaining.

Taehyung, who was lying casually against the white sofa next to you, grinned, "He is not really cheating Jimin-hyung. His just a genius to modify the rules to suit him."

Jimn huffed as he pointed at all of you, "I can not believe you are all against me," and scooted closer to find an ally, "Yun, you need to back me up here. This is not fair!"

You still have tears of laughter in your eyes as you wipe over it," Chimmy...I mean you technically landed on my hotel and you own me 1.5 million won in game money."

Jimin exclaimed with betrayal, "Yunru!"

Samiya sighed, having had enough of the bickering, and pulled the dice from Jungkook's hand, saying, "Oh, for heavens sake. Enough of the cheating. No more shady deals will be tolerated and we are restarting the game...fair and square," and she looked sternly at her smirking soulmate,'...and Seokjin-oppa is fired from being the banker. "

Seokjin gave his loud windshield laughter as he dramatically clutched his chest, "Wow Sami baby, what injustice! You are suppressing my financial genius."

Samiya looked at him with smugness," Or no 'love stories' tonight for you...you choose."

Taehyung and Jungkook made a funny 'Oooooh'  sound. They know how much Seokjin cherish his romantic times with his charming soulmate.

Seokjin  scrunched up his nose, and whine,"Ugh common Sami..."

But Samiya is relentless, she adores her Chimmy.

"Oh common Sami-noona ,I was winning" Jungkook was whining with his cute bunny pout.

You secretly wish this was a RunBTS episode. It would have been a lot of fun for the ARMY to watch Jimins pout since it would have made an excellent meme.

Jimin snorted as he replied, "You were stealing!"He was still sulking.

You grinned, "Okay, Sami...you are going to be the banker this time."

Jungkook just looked at a smug Jimin with a bombastic side eye. Seokjin could not help but laugh as Sami forcefully shoved him aside, allowing herself to assume the role of banker. You and Taehyung just looked affectionately at your group. Seokjin was always cheerful and a little over the top. However, you do not trust the BTS hyung and maknae together.

In the end the game was restarted but sure enough Kookie somehow find ways to strike secret deals under the table and Seokjin seeking loopholes.

To the group's dismay, Jimin was intent about making Jungkook go bankrupt.

It was a hilarious new round. Jimin walked away being the ultimate victor with Jungkook in second place. You were third and Taehyung was eliminated first.

After the game, Seokjin and Taehyung were at the BBQ station, while you, Jimin and Jungkook helped in the kitchen to prepare some fresh salads and Jimin and Jungkook were busy preparing the roasted garlic bread.

By 5pm the group was seated around the table enjoying the grilled and roasted fish and meat.

...

Later...after tidying up the place

The boys gathered inside the mancave to play snooker and darts.

Jimin had prepared a watermelon cocktail with olives and lemons for the girls to enjoy as they relaxed outdoors chatting. They were wearing their expensive swimwear.

You lean down as your eyes darted towards the vast ocean in front of you. The fact that Jimin could afford this little slice of paradise was a true blessing.

"It's so relaxing here, the boys needed the break from that hectic tour schedule" Sami mused as she sipped on her cocktail.

You were so full that you did not think you would need any more food. But the boys told her they would eat again by 9 p.m. You just shook your head as you and Sami relaxed.

Sami grinned, "Ji-ho stated she went for her updated invirso binding. She stated she was going to call us, but it would be 6 p.m. soon."

At that moment, Ji-ho's first song, Boombaya, was being teased on Samis' iPhone as a trademark ringtone.

"Oh, she is calling now. Put her on FaceTime," you say, your eyes widening with excitement. Sami hit the button, and you scooped besides her. It was a video call already.

Ji-Ho's eyes were drastically made up for the MV shoot, and a gentle grin came on her face.

"Hi Ji...how are you," you chirp back at a laughing Ji-ho as you and Sami both excitedly waved at her.

Ji-ho chuckles quietly, "Oh Yunru! You returned from Hawaii. How was your honeymoon?"

"Do not ask Ji," said Sami with a sly smile. "It seemed the honey is still overflowing in the pot. The sweetness continues here at Jimin's beach villa as well."

You just gave Sami a shoulder shove while laughing.

Ji-ho lets out a loud sigh."Oh, that is adorable! I miss all of you. I wish I could have been with you."

"Well, get home by tomorrow," smiled Sami. Will you be visiting President's Hill?

She appeared a bit nervous as she offered you a view of the setting behind her. "I am contractually compelled to stay at the BP-penthouse dorm during group schedules," she murmured as she hastily turned around and faced you," Some scenes are being filmed indoors. We are in Seoul at Kyung Hee University".She whispered.

You take in the surroundings. She was inside what appeared to be a set. But she seems anxious.

"Are you okay, girl?" you asked, furrowing your brows.

Ji-ho brought her face up close and signed earnestly."We are not really allowed to talk to outsiders because of movie spoilers, but I told them I needed to speak with my acting manager. They believed me.

Sami smiled, "How sly of you; I love your look."

Ji-ho said, "I am doing the high-energy dancing scenes, while my sister obviously chose the more gorgeous looks and clothing.She is still dressed in costume.I truly want you to meet her."

You were giddy, saying, "Oh my goodness, truly!"

She smiles slightly, "Yeah, we are almost finished with the outdoor scenes.We are only taking a little tea break. I will need to go back to wardrobe. It is quite a million wardrobe changes. Jisoo and I often had to wear the identical clothing for each scene."

She seems fatigued; perhaps the issue with Jennie is affecting her mentally. Her soulmate prefers that she move into his penthouse rather than staying in the dorm. She is torn between sanity and obligations. Her life was just beginning to make sense.

You furrowed your brows in shock, asking, "Why is Jisoo unable to do the entire MV? She is the main member."

Ji-ho snorted and murmured, "She had participated in the Konkuk university festival with the group. Last night, she experienced another mild asthma attack. I began to believe she was the actress in the house. Now I am obliged to stand in for the intense dance scenes. Fortunately, I would practice the choreography in Los Angeles." She let out a deep sigh.

Sami looked surprised," Wow! Unfortunately, I was too busy to attend university. That is my alma mater. It would have been great to see my old professors."

Ji-ho looked stunning in her exquisite peach earrings, off-shoulder top, and coloured shampooed red hair. She wore blue contacts, which made her appear lovely.

Ji-ho smile,"I will let you see Jisoo fast, but do not squeal or my cover will be blown."

She walked away from the scene, her hands moving sideways to conceal who she was talking to.

You could hear some staff members yelling instructions to the dancers. You could hear how she greeted Rose.

Rose says in the distance, "Looking for Jisoo...she is eating cut fruit and gimbap inside."

"Thanks, Rosie posie!" You overheard her laughing and teasing Rose. You could sense the camaraderie with that member, who is so underrated.

You and Sami noticed her focusing her phone on a female who was busy fixing her clothes.

"Hi, Ji-ho...where have you been? I left you something. Management brought sushi. Have some." She cheekily said.

"Erm Jisoo...I would love to introduce you to my model friend. Remember the Dazed Korea shoot. The cute Chinese girl,Yunru Lee!" Ji-ho told her, and Jisoo's eyes widen in recognition.

"Oh yes, the cute petite model? You said she is a blink?" She inquired as Ji-ho swiftly stood by her sister to capture both of them in the same frame.

"Yeah, say hello to Yunru; that is her stylist friend. Sami"

You and Sami wanted to scream in delight  when you spotted Jisoo, your bias. She was heavily make-up, she looked stunning, but the likeness to the twins was beautiful and eerie.

"Hello guys, it is nice to meet you," Jisoo said with a big smile and a wave.
Her hair was in a clip and her clothing was visually stunning that made Sami looked stunned as a fashion designer.

Just as Rosie and Jennie entered, Ji-ho apologised to you.

Rosie looked surprised by the two grinning sisters and asked, "Who are you talking to?"

"Oh...er...my manager. Jisoo was merely asking her a few questions about my meeting with the cast." She says this uneasily.

Jennie raised her eyes with a superior flair and continued on her way, unconcerned about Ji-hos' existence. She acts as if she is the main event solely because she is YG's fave girl.

Jisoo instantly smiles back and waves before moving to where Jennie and Rosie are laughing at a YouTube video. Ji-ho seemed relieved.

"Guys I will see you very soon. Wow, that was a close call. Please do not tell anyone what you witnessed.We cant afford a leak to our MV." She chuckled nervously.

Sami appeared worried." No sweat. Ji, you seemed to be quite stressed. You could relax and maybe join us on the next tour."

Ji-ho sighed, "Yes, I need a break. I would rather be with you right now. Just enjoy your short stay in Busan. Gosh! I wish we were there...but goodbye for now." She gives you a Seokjin flying kiss.

You all waved at her as she shut her phone.

Sami stared at you with concern, "I am a little worried. Right now, she appeared so out of depth. I really hope she can take a break and rejuvenate with Yoongs."

"It seems like she is quite worn out. I believe she is also feeling pressure from her acting debut and the excessive Blackpink scheduling." You mentioned feeling terrible for the new Belle. She desperately wants to be with her Bangtan.

Sami nodded. "Yoongi wants her to go and live in his penthouse. I hope she has a couple days off to spend time on their yacht this weekend."

You simply groaned and leant back in the lounge chair.

"Come race you in the water," said Sami, leaping to her feet.

Before Sami had a chance to count to one, you leapt up and squealed before diving into the pool.

Sami only shook her head at your adorable antics.
