It wasn't long before lunch ended and two class periods sped by. None of the boys acted differently. Namjoon acted as he normally would in class and during the small break at the cafe afterwards, everyone was still joking as normal.

After being released from a 'productive' time in Computer Science, I met up with the guys at the cafe. Upon entering the familiar setting, I found the boys rather quickly near the front windows and sat at a high table. As usual, Namjoon, Jin, and Hoseok weren't at the table yet.

Stepping up to the table, I delicately sat on the seat between Yoongi and Jimin. All the boys greeted me as per usual, and I cheerily greeted them back.

"I'm so tired." Jimin moaned out as he lay his head on Jungkook's shoulder from besides him. Jungkook ruffled his hair affectionately in turn as Taehyung solemnly agreed before copying his actions on Jungkook's other shoulder.

"Why're you guys so tired?" I laid my head on my hand lazily as they both glanced in my direction.

"Studying. That's all we did right before you got here since we had the time. Yoongi-hyung was so mean." Taehyung faked a cry as Yoongi scoffed and rolled his eyes.

Yoongi leaned in over me and playfully glared at Taehyung.

"Well, if you just studied regularly, then you wouldn't have to cram all this information into your head. You should be thankful that I've made you start so you don't only have a week before the winter finals to recall everything."

I shivered at the thought. Ah yes, in three weeks time is the awaited finals week. After that is the lovely winter break for two weeks and then back to schedule.

I have occasionally made time to scan over my notes. Occasionally.

If anything, Namjoon has been a good motivator when reminding me that 'we' will ace the English finals as long as 'we' continue working hard.

Speaking of the devil, at the sound of faint footsteps that grew louder by the second, I turn my head and see Jin and Namjoon smiling at an ebullient Hoseok. Hoseok had two familiar white cups that the cafe sets out.

They ease their way over and already got the attention of the other males at the table.

Once they reach, they stay standing which causes me to get confused. Normally they instantly sat down as soon as they arrived.

Hoseok stepped forward though and stood next to me. Staring back confused, my pout instantly brightens as Hoseok lays one of the cups on the table.

"It's the Mango Tango today! Thought this would be fun to try."

"Yes! I was wondering when you'd finally try and order this. I was really tempted to order this myself for us."

Hoseok chuckles lightheartedly and I grin.

"Alright, why don't we head back early?"

I turn my attention to a calm Namjoon with a small smile on his face.

"Huh? Early? But it's Monday?"

"Yeah? I want to chill out. A nap would be nice." Yoongi faked a yawn for emphasis as the others started to exit their seats without question.

Their actions caused me to instantly get suspicious. Normally they always weighed out who wanted to stay or go whenever someone suggested the idea of leaving early. Not once have they all just 'agreed' unless everyone appeared to be dead tired.

And Yoongi's comment was definitely unlike him. Everything he said fit his persona... but there was something off with his words. It was like they held a deep undertone with them and I gulped as I had a guess as to why.

"Hurry up slow-poke." Jimin giggled as he grabbed the back of my chair and scraped it back.

I frowned as he held out a hand to help me step down. He had a twinkle in his eye that I didn't know if I should be concerned about.

Hastily grabbing my drink, I followed the group as we walked out.

❀♡❀

My anxiety grew by the second as soon as I was trapped in the elevator with these men. They made small conversation like normal, but it just seemed off. Too nice and polite. And scripted?

That nervous feeling was skyrocketing once we stepped up to Namjoon's door and he was inputting the code. I stood silently behind everyone and skeptically sipped my smoothie as I watched their clandestine behavior. They insisted on hanging out at Namjoon's to cool off after a mundane Monday.

With a double beep, the door announced it's allowance for our entrance with Namjoon leading the way. We all entered and stalled for a bit as we all attempted to remove our shoes without bumping into one another. After that was finished, Namjoon went to his small kitchen to bring some drinks as we all laid about his living room.

He had a large L-shaped couch with two armchairs off to the side. In front of the set-up was a large wide-screen television. Hoseok had chosen the armchair closest to the couch. From the order next to him, it went Jimin, Jungkook, Yoongi, Jin, and Taehyung.

I was about to sit at the end seat near Taehyung, but Jin instantly waved me over to sit in the corner seat between him and Yoongi.

Tentatively taking his offer, I crossed my legs on the seat as the guys settled into a lax silence.

I once again nervously sipped my drink as did Hoseok while we waited for Namjoon.

He finally appeared after a couple minutes with a tray of 5 glasses of water and a carton of banana milk. Everyone took their drinks and took a couple moments. There was only the sound of sipping and my heart beating loudly in my chest as I mentally prepared for the discussion to come.

Nervously glancing around, it started with Namjoon setting his drink down, then Taehyung, then the rest until Jungkook and I still held our drinks tightly.

I noticed Taehyung discreetly glaring at Jungkook from across the couch and with a pout filled sigh, Jungkook eased it on the table half-empty. I slowly followed suit and now we just sat. Well, until Jin spoke.

"Okay. I'm sure you have an idea about why we wanted to gather here."

Meekly nodding in response, Jin glances at me before continuing.

"Well, I'm sure we need to address it."

Jerkily nodding my head again, I glanced down as I tried to maintain my cool. It was really hard to keep calm in this situation. My eyes started to slightly shake as I felt the weight of their stares on me and my lip trembled as I didn't know what to say.

It was like being called up to do a math problem I had no clue how to do.

It wasn't until I slightly jolted when I felt a hand lightly tap my wrist. Casting my eyes over, I notice Yoongi's hand slowly sliding up from my wrist, before fully grasping my hand in his.

"You're okay."

I look up and see his small smile paired with warm and soft sympathetic eyes.

"We don't mean to pressure you at all y/n. We just want to clear the situation."

I look up at Hoseok and nod more affirmatively this time.

"Well, we've all had a weekend to register and let the situation fully soak in..."

Namjoon's voice trailed off and I gulped by what that implied. After a moment, Hoseok suddenly lightly shoved Namjoon's side as Namjoon shook out of his 'thinking' face.

Playfully rolling his eyes, he continued, "... And we all accept it. Quite happily."

I let out a huge breath as Yoongi's hand tightened around my own.

"Did you think we wouldn't welcome you? How silly." Jimin playfully grinned as I let out a small smile.

"A-ah no. I guess I've been panicking for nothing. You guys just didn't give much reaction today, so I was a bit nervous."

"Y/n. Just because you're our soulmate doesn't mean everything has to change. We've all been natural with you and we'll continue to be like that. Just now, you are officially... ours." Taehyung's words sent a flutter in my chest as I instantly blushed.

"We have already taken the time to discuss the situation. We all realized that we've all sort of known in some way, shape, or form. We all felt a tug towards you and to finalize our thoughts with the conclusion that you are our soulmate means that it's now a fact rather than a theory. Or you could call it a law." Namjoon let out a smirk at his joke while the others either refused to react or didn't catch it. I noticed and let out a scoff to catch my laugh.

"All I got from that was that that means you belong with us! You're our soulmate. We are your soulmates." Jungkook let out a wide grin as his words took a moment to go through my brain.

I froze for a moment as I glanced at all of their smiling faces. The boys who coincidentally are my neighbors, go to the same college, and have become my best friends are my soulmates. And they all know and accept it too. It just sounds too good to be true.

But in this society? Them all being together alone was a spectacle to see with such a large chain of soulmates, but to add me into the mix? A female with seven males?

"W-wait? I-isn't this going to be a little complex?"

"Huh?"

"W-well. You're all already bonded. Everyone knows you all are soulmates to each other, but throwing me in would be a random shoe in the game. And I'm sure it would be frowned upon. Especially with one female and seven ma-"

"Y/n, shh. Calm down. You're rambling." I didn't even notice when Yoongi had suddenly cupped my cheek just to make me focus.

"You shouldn't care about all those concerns. Why should you care what others think or say? We're fated to be together, so why should it be frowned upon? If people are so jealous that you are snatched by the seven of us, then sucks to be them and not get the chance to have such a gift. Vice-versa? Then fuck them. I mean don't fuck them but they should fuck off. Anyway, what matters is that we finally found and recognized you as the missing piece we didn't know we needed. Throw away those what if's and stupid concerns. Hold onto the fact that this bond will be nurtured and cherished by all of us and nobody else can say otherwise."

I stare at Yoongi completely gob-smacked. How could such words come out of the Min Yoongi? He seemed surprised too as he instantly blushed, but maintained eye contact.

"I-I guess your right."

Yoongi scoffed before instantly turning away and rubbing the back of his neck shyly and replying, "Of course I'm right."

I bit my lip and glanced around again. All the boys had gentle smiles on their faces and all looked to seem in a mixture of awe, respect, and pride for Yoongi's words.

Upon making eye contact with Jimin, he winked and said, "Baby, just don't give a damn."

Shrugging as if it was nothing, I suddenly let out a chuckle which started to grow in number. The guys seemed startled at first before they couldn't help but join.

I laughed to the point where I had to hold my stomach just to stop the aches.

"W-Why are we l-laughing?" Taehyung let out big huffs but started to have another fit of giggles when he saw us laughing.

I shook my head in response because that was all I could manage.

Even though I couldn't say it, I looked around at all their giddy faces and continued my joyful bellows as I felt a burst of euphoria from glancing at each person.

The reason? Because perhaps they were right. 

❀♡❀

After our fits of laughter had finally subsided, the boys seemed more eager to get close to me. Taehyung deemed it a great time to play 20 questions and it really allowed me to understand them better.

We already knew a lot about each other, so it eventually led to the game Would you Rather instead and was funny to hear about the choices they would make in such ambivalent situations.

The small ache in my chest seemed lighter than ever and it was vaguely there. Yoongi still held a tight grip on my hand though, but he had to have felt the relief through our connection.

I peeked at him while everyone's focus was on the bantering duo.

Taehyung interrupted Jimin as he began saying, "Would you rather be stuck in a room with me for five minutes or-"

"The second option."

"Yah! You didn't even hear the seco-"

"I didn't need to."

They immediately set off in an argument as the others watched in amusement.

Yoongi had a small barely visible smile set on his lips. I admired his side-profile, but it was as though he noticed me staring because he suddenly turned to me.

Startled, I avert my eyes by instinct but notice his stare still set on me.

The light squeeze on my hand caused me to turn to him and he smiled an adorable gummy smile.

Then he shocked me.

He leaned in and kissed me again.

❀♡❀

A/N: So I realized how much focus has been on the relationship with Yoongi, but I guess he is one tough cookie to crack. Now I get to play. Sometimes your plot holds you down from expressing all these moments but now it is time to UNLEASH THE KRAKEN. 

Ahaha just kidding... unless.
