"I need to use the bathroom. Let me go!" I was trapped against the couch as Jungkook and Jimin wrapped around me tightly. Taehyung sat on the floor in front of me and had been using my thighs as a pillow.

I cuddled with the four oldest for approximately 15 minutes each before being hogged by the youngers. They allowed me to cool off by playing a drama on the television and compromising on allowing each person to cuddle me.

All their affection was so nice. Although I've never felt so coddled on before, it really felt nice to have them all vying for my attention. They constantly asked if I needed anything and were pleasantly satisfied whenever they got the chance to catch my eye.

It was like watching puppies tripping over themselves to catch their owner's attention.

Except those puppies were in the form of seven devilishly handsome males that were sinfully adorable.

I didn't think I'd ever think this, but I was fed up with the amount of times I grew flustered in the past couple hours alone. My face would constantly heat up because these guys knew the correct buttons to push.

Now, however, my face was growing red because I couldn't get out of the iron grips that held me tightly.

"No! We haven't got you for that long yet." Taehyung tilted his head up to shoot me with a pout.

"But I have to use the restroom!"

"Hold it." Jungkook simply answered as his eyes never left the screen.

"I can't. I've been holding it since forever ago! I gotta go now!" I flailed my arms in vain since both of their grips tightened.

"Boys, let her go. You can't hold her back from simply using the restroom!" Jin's tone caused the boys to wilt but keep their hold on me.

"That's an order. Not a suggestion."

"Fine." Jimin grumbled before he completely loosened his grip with Jungkook reluctantly following.

As soon as my arms were freed, I instantly stood up which caused Taehyung to quickly sit up straight with a whine.

"Freedom! At last!"

I didn't spare a glance at the others as I ran over to the bathroom door and rushed in.

❀♡❀

Finishing my business, I washed my hands before taking my phone out of my back pocket.

My eyes widened as I realized the time nearing 10:30. I have an online assignment due for Computer Science due at midnight! It was only halfway finished in class, but I needed to finish it now!

Basically slamming the door opened, some of the guys jolted as they looked over at me.

"I've got to go! I forgot I have an assignment I need to finish!"

"What! Already?" Jimin flashed the puppy dog eyes.

"How about dinner?" Jin inquired with a flash of concern.

"Uh yeah. I'll whip something up for myself before I start. As much as I'd love to stay, I'd rather not have a missing or half-assed assignment. I'll see you guys tomorrow. Bye bye!"

I rushed to the door and clumsily slipped my shoes on as the others watched.

Opening the door and grabbing my backpack, I flashed them a brief smile with a wave as they waved back with slightly confused faces.

❀♡❀

I knew something was off as soon as I stepped out of my apartment. Why? Because I saw all the guys gathered near the elevator.

They never leave at the same time as I do. They are always gone early because they catch a bite of breakfast in a cafe. It's either that or they are late because Jin cooks breakfast. Overall, it's still never the same time that I leave.

"Y/n! Good morning!" Jin called me out from down the hall with bright eyes. The others turned and shot me greetings as well. I walked closer before echoing their greetings.

"Do you have everything you need?"

"I believe so?" I began to do a mental checklist in my head.

"Let's go then!" Hoseok cheered brightly as the elevator opened right after his statement.

We all piled in and soon the elevator began its descent.

"How'd you sleep?" Jungkook smiled gently at me as he awaited my response.

"Pretty good. Uh, how about you?"

"Great actually!"

"How about your assignment?" Jimin inquired.

"Oh yeah. I got that in right in the nick of time. It was frustrating to get, but I just decided to, uh, yolo it and turned it in without perfecting every single small detail. Hopefully she doesn't notice the minor details and gives a good grade."

I shrugged as Jimin lightly chuckled and nodded in understanding.

The elevator opened up to reveal the garage. As soon as we all got out, I automatically glanced at my scooter to check its presence. It's a habit of mine.

"Would you like us to give you a ride?"

I glanced over to see Namjoon swinging a set of keys in his hands... until Yoongi reached up and grabbed it.

"Don't swing it again. Lord knows if you break another set of car keys."

"That wasn't completely my fault."

"How the heck do you break a car key?"

"By handing it to Namjoon."

"Hey!"

"Shush you two. In any case, we don't mind if you want to join us on our morning commute. Perhaps after classes end we could all go to a park." Jin let out a small smile afterwards.

"It's freezing outside?"

"Oh yeah huh. I guess we could all go to the movies."

"Huh? As in a date?"

He instantly blushed as my head tilted.

"Ah no. Like hanging out. Our first date should be a special one."

"Aren't movies special?"

"Well sure, but for when we officially ask you out, it should be memorable at least."

Taehyung leaned in from beside me and whispered, "He's one for dramatics. Then again he does have a point."

"Of course I do."

"Uh, I suppose I could join you guys. My scooter is a bit low on gas, but I could refuel tomorrow instead of today."

"Alright! Let's go!" Jungkook placed his hands on my shoulders as he steered me towards a random direction.

It wasn't long before he stopped me in front of the familiar SUV. Over time I've learned that between them they own four cars. One SUV and three sports cars. They were all pretty nice and well kept. I've been in each before and the interior designs weren't bad either.

I suppose today they chose the SUV.

"Alright, pile in."

We piled all our bags into the trunk before beginning to enter the car. Jin got behind the wheel with Yoongi in the passenger seat. I sat in the back with Namjoon and Jungkook. Taehyung, Jimin, and Hoseok sat in the middle seat. It felt pretty cramped.

I've only sat with all of them in this car once before and that was because we went out for dinner and they insisted on 'saving gas' and going in one vehicle. 

It felt weird going to school with them. They all sang along with the radio and Jungkook often poked me in the side to get me to laugh. It was nice being in their presence rather than arriving on campus alone.

It wasn't long before Jin pulled up to the parking lot and we all exited the vehicle. We all kept joking around, but my laughter died down once I noticed the shocked expressions of the students walking by.

Oh shit. I forgot how it must look to see me exit a vehicle with them. My momentary shock evaporated when I felt a hand wrap around my shoulders and tug me to their side.

Hoseok grinned down at me as he leaned in and whispered directly in my ear.

"Remember. Don't worry about their opinions. Might as well have them understand that you're our soulmate now rather than later, huh."

"Are you sure?"

"What do you mean? Of course I am. We aren't afraid of showing you off. Are you?"

Hoseok lifted an eyebrow and looked to be taunting me a bit.

"Well, but your fangirls must be-"

"Plotting your murder? Sure. Would we let that happen? No. Should you let that bother you at all? Nope. Hotel? Trivago."

He smirked at my dumb struck expression.

"Look, you're officially with us now. You think we're going to hide this relationship? Hell no. Whatever fears you have shouldn't be there. Who cares about public opinion? Like Jimin said, 'just don't give a damn.'"

Hoseok's smile and eyes held a confidence behind them that I couldn't help but feel a bit in myself.

With a slight nod, he flashed a small grin.

"You two, hurry up! While you've been having your moment, time has been ticking. Gotta head to class!"

Both of us glanced over to see the others ready to go. Hoseok released his hold on my shoulders but instead intertwined his hand with mine. Jin handed me my bag before turning and leading the way.

We followed the others as we headed closer towards the buildings.

There were definitely a lot of stares, but I held my head high.

❀♡❀

I was currently trapped in the girl's bathroom. With nine females that demanded an explanation.

I realized my mistake the moment I walked into the art room with Taehyung's hand tightly holding onto my own. As soon as Chaeyoung and Momo saw me, they already had shocked expressions. It wasn't technically abnormal for me to occasionally hold Taehyung's hand or hug him.

However it was the moment that I took a seat that I realized I forgot something entirely.

"What the hell is this? Excuse me, you can't try to get out of this." Momo shoved her phone into my face and it was an Instagram post.

On the screen displayed a simple video of me exiting their car and Hoseok wrapping his arms around me. Worse was that from the angle, it looked like we were making out.

"I well-"

"Oh no. You can't start explaining now. The others demand an explanation as well."

Chaeyoung leaned over Momo and gave me a bold stare.

"Before lunch. Girl's bathroom. Second floor, right wing."

I gulped before nodding.

Then class began.

❀♡❀

And that brings us to where we are now. I was cornered against the sink as all the girls watched my every move.

I didn't even have much time to try to escape. As soon as I stepped up to the bathroom door, I couldn't even hesitate at the door before someone abruptly opened it and dragged me in.

Instantly I was set at the aims of nine deadly glares.

"Uh hey."

"Oh you know you have way more to say than simply 'hey'. Spill it." Jihyo was definitely bringing a very leader-like vibe out. Definitely very effective.

"Aww c'mon. I promise I was going to tell you."

"Tell us what? We don't have a clue."

I crossed my arms defensively as I slightly wobbled from foot to foot in nervousness.

"Okay. Well, uh, I know you guys are already going to kill me after I tell you."

"Obviously. Continue."

I pouted at Jeongyeon's blunt statement but continued nonetheless.

"Fine, fine. Uh, well... they are my confirmed soulmates."

"All of them?"

"Confirmed? Since when did you know?"

"I knew it."

Nayeon, Dahyun, and Sana spoke at the same time. I gulped at their inquiries.

"W-well, it's a bit of a story."

"Oh, that's perfectly fine. We aren't leaving this bathroom until we get all the details."

"What! But I wanted food." Momo complained as Dahyun shot her a 'shut up' glance.

"Fine, but I want the details even more. Which is shocking." Momo definitely exaggerated 'shocking' just to spite the others but nevertheless brought her focus back onto me with an annoyed glare.

"You better start talking quickly because that short story is cutting into my lunch time."

"It's pretty long tho-"

"Well I'm sure you can make it short." I gulped as she shot me an evil look.

"Okay fine. Uh, so what had happened was..."

❀♡❀

"I still can't believe you would keep that from us."

I was glumly following the girls towards the cafeteria. My forehead throbbed as one of my penalties was getting flicked on the forehead once by everyone for keeping such a huge secret. The other part of my penalty was getting scolded by basically everyone and promising to do a girl's night whichever night the girl's choose to do so. I can't back out of it either.

Not once have I attended a party since college started. The girls have definitely invited me to lots of them, but I always refuse so I can study or hang out with the guys instead. I'm definitely not a person who enjoys socializing with intoxicated people that are at least 75% of a higher chance at being horny. I noticed the guys rarely party either.

Either way, I couldn't escape and if I'm being honest, I feel like the penalty was too simple. But I also have a feeling they are going to torture me with petty pranks throughout the week. Whenever any of the girls argued, including me, it was always a prank war to battle out who would win. Normally everyone ends up cracking up at our childish stupidity when handling arguments, however I really liked that method. Now though, I'm going to be the target of all of their pranks and I honestly don't have the rights to fight back.

"Alright. You're free to go to your lover boys. You are not off the hook, no no. We'll see you tomorrow. We definitely need to have another slumber party soon."

"Ah yeah. Bye!" I nervously waved as they smirked and slyly waved back as if they already had plans brewing in their heads.

Sighing after they trekked far enough away to their table, I steadily walked over to the boys' table.

They were already chatting and laughing, however there was that one open seat left between Jin and Hoseok.

"Hey, sorry I got caught up."

"Ah yes, I'm glad you've survived." Jungkook's comment sent the others in another useless laughing fit as I took my seat.

"Mmhmm. It was a very close call. Barely survived."

"Well that's good. Here you go."

Jin slid over the familiar blue lunch box and my smile immediately brightened.

"Hurry and eat. Lunch is almost over by now."

"I know, I know!" Upon revealing the food, I was instantly filled with awe at the adorable assortments of food Jin packed this time. What caught my attention was the heart shaped apple slices and flower-shaped carrot slices. The effort definitely made me internally aww.

I cast a brief glance towards Jin but he instantly looked away with a hint of a blush on his cheeks.

I smiled and began to dig in as I attentively listened as the others conversed about their normally random topics.

❀♡❀

A/N: Okay, this is definitely a filler chapter more than anything. After such an eventful last chapter, we gotta keep the girls updated. I did follow through though and istg how are we almost at freaking 600 in such a short time. *sighs in panic* 

Question Time! I realized I never freaking asked this smh. 

What other k-pop groups do you stan? 

Personally, I love several of them but at the top have to be Twice, Mamamoo, Seventeen, Ateez, Got7, etc. There is a lot, but I believe every group is amazing for even existing and trying as hard as they can.

@bonnehh_ Holy shit. Guys, this is for the last chapter but I had to post it here so most of you can see this masterpiece. I just- too many uwu's have erupted. Honestly, please thank her for such visuals.
