The hour passes by quickly with an overly joyous soulmate and pouty dog when Hoseok suddenly appears in the room, catching me off guard and making me jump in my seat. "Oh, I did it!" he exclaims with a wide smile and turns to me with a giggle at my expression.

"You seem surprised" he says with a proud grin before walking over to hug me from behind. I hum and snuggle against him, my head in level with his stomach. "Yoongi said you'd appear in front of the building, so having you suddenly pop out of nowhere in front of me, that I wasn't expecting" I reply before standing up and turning around to hug him properly once the chair out of the way.

"You seem to be handling your ability a lot better now" I add and he pulls back to show me two bright eyes. "I am, aren't I?! All this practice is starting to show results". I turn to Yoongi to see him wink my way and I grin before focusing again on Hoseok. "Yes, my dear soulmate is getting stronger, I'm proud of you, Hobi" I say and coo when he blushes happily before taking me in his arms again.

I feel a brush against my soul and allow access since I know exactly who this is. "Where are my compliments?" I hear Yoongi say in my head and I grimace his way, silently laughing at his mental frown. "If I don't get at least ten compliments today, I'm going to have my vengeance tonight". And he's out of my mind.

"Really?! Yoongi, you really are a grumpy cat!" I mumble and Hoseok shoots me a curious look before turning to the other man in the room. "What did I miss?" he asks and I sigh. "Just a certain someone being jealous" I reply while staring right into Yoongi's eyes. The cat takes his frown further and attempts an angry face, but the bond tells me he knows I'm right so I take this as a victory.

Hoseok tilts his head but the conversation stops there when the front door opens. "Your worldwide handsome soulmate has arrived with food!". I gasp and Hoseok releases me to allow me to walk around my desk to reach my other soulmate. Just as I run past Yoongi to reach Jin and hug him, the strong cat grabs me and throws me on his shoulder.

"Yah! Yoongi!" I scream, fighting harder when his hand holding my body comes to rest on my butt, but he doesn't remove it and simply turns to the corridor. "Don't play too much with me if you can't even handle this, Snowflakes" he says with what I can only imagine as a satisfied smirk on his face as he brings us out of my office and to the entrance.

Waffle is just under my head and he looks up to shoot me a sorry look, knowing he can't do much right now to help except support me and be there in case I fall down. I reach my hand to scratch his head. How can you resist all this fluff? Waffle seems pleased and licks my hand once I'm done, which makes me giggle.

My eyes then fall on Hoseok who is following behind and when I raise my head to have a better look at him, begging for help, he only laughs. "You put yourself in that situation, Berry, there's no saving you now" he says, clearly not about to help me.

"I don't know what's going on here, but I'm hungry so hurry hurry, we only have an hour!" Jin says before opening the door for Yoongi, seemingly not about to help me either. "Did someone bring my bag- oh you did, thank you Hobi, can you get the keys and lock the door please?" I ask when I see it hanging on his shoulder.

He nods and while he rummages through it, in search of the dear key, I turn my eyes to Jin who's eyeing me down with a grin. "Played with fire today, didn't you?" he asks as a matter of fact and I groan, especially when I feel Yoongi silently laugh.

"She did. But she knows what she has to do if she wants to be freed, right, little one?" the latter says, which causes me to try to kick him to counter his words. I can free my own self! His other arm comes to hold my legs still while his other one resting around my butt tightens. He pats it softly and resumes walking when Hoseok claims being done with the door.

I try to keep in the blush threatening to burst free, but without success. "She's blushing" Jin chuckles and I send him a glare, which only amuses him more. "Of course I am, he's touching and patting my damn butt!"

Their eyes fall on said butt and when they keep staring without showing any signs of looking away, the bond suggesting that a few thoughts are going through their minds right now, I try to move to get it out of view, which obviously doesn't work.

"Yoongi... I'm sorry, I love you, help me please" I whine out of despair causing him to sigh. The next second, he's getting me off his shoulder and in his arms, my head hitting his chest in the process as he adjusts one arm around my shoulder while the other goes under my knees, the hold on my bum finally gone, but most importantly, out of view.

"There, better?" he says as he raises an eyebrow and I nod, still not done pouting. "Walking would be great too though" I retort and he hums, the only sound leaving him as we keep getting closer to the water. I huff and decide to just enjoy the moment. It's not like he's going to let me go anyway.

We reach the path leading to the sea and before getting on the sand, Yoongi takes a turn right to the small park where a few picnic tables can be found. Once there, he sits down and makes me sit across his lap so I can see the others, but his arms don't leave my waist.

"Waffle, you can go have fun if you want, pup, I don't mind" I tell the pup when I see him gazing longingly at the sea. He turns to me with ears pointing up, as if not sure he heard right, so when I insist with a smile, he sprints towards the sand, in search of crabs maybe. All I know is that he's having the time of his life.

"You know, Yoongi, if this was meant to be a punishment, it's rather enjoyable" I tell him after a while of gazing at the dog and he chuckles, eyes creasing cutely as he helps Jin set the table. "The punishment stopped from the moment you said 'I love you' ". I make a small 'o' with my lips and turn to the table to see what Jin brought.

"A bit of everything, that should be enough for the amount we are right now" the latter says as he sets the final sandwich out of the basket. Feeling saliva start to overflow in my mouth, I lean down on the table to have a better view of everything and grab what seems to be the tastier to my eyes.

"Can you take one for me, Snowflakes" Yoongi asks and I nod before reaching for the one I have a feeling Jin took specially for him. I lean back against him and hand him the sandwich after unwrapping it for him. He thanks me and starts munching on it with small hums as I proceed to unwrap mine. When I finally take a bite, the taste that explodes in my mouth makes me melt in Yoongi's arm.

"Did you make these sandwiches, Jinnie?" I ask and he smiles widely. "I did, added some Jingredients in there, a bit of love here and there, this is a one of a kind sandwich" he says proudly, causing Hoseok and I to stare at him lovingly. "One of a kind sandwich made by a one of a kind man" I say and he shyly looks down, his ears burning red as he starts focusing on his own food.

Yoongi's hand laid on my waist pinches my side and I yelp. "Yoongi!" I whisper before looking at him to see his pout. I pinch his cheek and kiss it a few times afterwards. "You really are a grumpy cat... but you're my grumpy cat" I whisper into his ear before leaning back. His eyes widen and he stares at my lips with what I can only assume are hungry eyes before raising up to my eyes. He then puts all his emotions into eating the sandwich. Aggressively.

Confused, I turn to see Jin and Hoseok staring at him with a smirk. I shrug and focus on eating my sandwich in silence as we enjoy the sound of the water running over the sand. Yoongi feels frustrated, but not in a way that worries me, I figure he'll deal with it on his own. It can't possibly be from disliking being called my grumpy cat since that part made him beam in satisfaction. All I can do is make sure he knows that I love him, which I'm sure the others do as well.

Waffle eventually comes back to eat what Jin brought for him and then lays down under the table int he cold shade, his energy spent for a little while.

Once I'm done eating, I grab my bag who was set next to me by Hoseok and look inside to see my camera. I smile and grab it, mentally thanking Hoseok for not forgetting it and look around me to see what could possibly catch my eyes.

Said eyes fall on Jin gazing at the sky, plump lips slightly parted as his eyes roam over the sky, take in the shades the sun creates on the clouds, the shapes they have, a beauty without end that never ceases to amaze the world. The defined line of his beautiful jaw curving up towards the sky, I quietly turn on my camera and take position, unaware of the two pairs of eyes currently on me, analyzing my every move with fondness.

I have to bend backwards a little to catch sight of what he's looking at while still making him the main center of attention and once ready, I press the button. The light clicking noise fills the silence and Jin turns to me with curiosity. Seeing the camera pointed towards him causes his eyes to widen and a light blush to spread across his ears and cheeks.

I smile and proceed to search for my printer, but it's nowhere to be seen. Oh well, I can always print it later and give it to him back at home. "I'll have to print it later, but I'm sure it'll be just as beautiful as the others" I say and he smiles shyly. "I can't wait to see it".

I look back down at the broken screen. "I'll really need to go to a shop to repair it though, I can't keep working like that" I say and they turn to me with a small frown. "Do you need to go to the city for that?" Hoseok asks and I nod. "The only shop I know that offers a wonderful service is there. I don't mind going with someone, but I should go soon".

"What shop is it? Once I manage to go once, I could bring us there and back faster" he says and I nod at the offer. "It does sound like a plan. It's in the same district as Namjoon's workplace. It's expensive, but they make it worthwhile, do you think we could go this week?" I ask him and he nods. "Just give me the address and I'll tell you when we can go, I'll ask Rocky for a morning off work tomorrow".

The mention of Rocky's name makes me long to see him. "That sounds good. Do you think I could go with you to the dance studio later? I'd like to see him and Moonbin" I say with expectant eyes, hoping he wouldn't mind. He smiles warmly and nods. "Of course you can, as long as you spend some time with me before leaving". I grin and shake the hand he offers me to seal the deal.

With that said, the meal ends and after putting everything back into the basket, Yoongi releases me so I can stand up on my feet. I stretch a little, Waffle trying to do the same, but very poorly before we all walk to the fountain where we separate. Yoongi goes back home with Waffle since the pup is exhausted, Jin to the café, and I trot after Hoseok as we walk to the dance studio.

I like walking with him, it's quiet and tranquil. I eventually take hold of his hand to intertwine our hands together and he gives me the brightest of all smiles. We make small talk until we stop in front of the building. He opens the door and I don't make three steps inside before a body runs to me and steals me away from my soulmate.

"Peach!" I hear a voice scream in my ear, causing me to giggle and run a hand in his hair. "It's good to see you too, Binnie" I say as he pulls back to look at me. We hear feet run our way too before Rocky's head pops inside the room from the corridor. His eyes widen as they fall on me and very much like Moonbin, comes running my way to scoop me up into a tight hug.

When he puts me back down, I turn around to see all the others present. I scream and run to the group who jumps from the sudden screech coming from me before smiles appear one after the other.

Eunwoo is the first one to lock me into his embrace, not letting go until he's satisfied. "It's so good to see you up and healthy" he whispers in my ear and I hold him as tight as I can. I pull back when his grip releases me and smile at him. "I'm feeling much better now. We're... working with a lawyer to end this madness" I say, mindful of my words since we're in public and I watch as their eyes all widen.

"Are you serious?!" JinJin screams, his eyes filled with tears. Eunwoo seems shocked and Moonbin has to hold him when his legs give up under him. I get him back in my arms and nod to confirm my claim.

"Is it possible?" I hear Eunwoo ask with a soft voice. "It is, our lawyer is one of the best and we have all the proof we need, they won't be able to win" Hoseok says for me, bond proud to be able to say that.

Eunwoo bursts into tears and pulls me into his chest. Hearing him cry makes me tear up and soon we have a group of grown people crying at the entrance. Hoseok sighs warmly at the sight and pushes us to a room at the back of the corridor to free the entrance for students trying to enter.

He walks out of the room just as quietly, leaving me and my family alone to go and teach his class. "Tell us more, everything that has been happening since the last time we met" MJ urges me.

We get into position for a story time. Sanha cuddles me on the floor on one side, Eunwoo wrapping himself around me from behind while Rocky takes my other side. The other three are very close in front of us, therefore closing the circle to make us into a very tight bubble. Then I start recounting all the events, going as far as telling them the memory I had of my twin brother and little sister, when we gazed at the pictures in my albums, how it made me long to see them again even though I know it's not possible.

I don't talk about how I don't have more than a year left if we don't end this soon, very careful to not even think about it so MJ doesn't pick up on the thought. If he starts freaking out, so will the others until they get the truth out of me and that would be... chaotic.

We spend the next hour together before Moonbin has to start his class and I promise to see him soon, which only makes him grin with a nod before he leaves with happy feet. Rocky follows soon after for his own class and when only Eunwoo, Sanha, MJ, JinJin and I are left, we decide to head to my home where we'll be able to speak more freely and relax without bothering the workers.

I stop by Hoseok's class and see him teaching a group of young kids. He sees me peeking through the door discreetly and asks the class to practice the moves he just showed them before running to me with a wide smile.

He sees the others waiting by the front door and shoots me a knowing smile. "Are you going to spend more time with them?" he asks and when I nod, a happy feeling bubbling through my chest, he pulls me in for a hug. "Alright, I'll present you to the kids an other time. Enjoy your time with them and be careful, okay?" he warns before kissing my cheek softly and I nod.

He's about to walk away when I grab him and pull him back closer. He seems confused but when I cup his cheeks and pulls him down to kiss him, he reacts quickly by kissing back as his arms wrap around me. We pull back with a satisfied smile.

"You're allowed to kiss me more often, you know?" I whisper and he raises his eyebrows playfully at me. "Is that an invitation to do so?" he replies and I nod shyly. "It is". His eyes light up and he steals one more kiss before turning me to my brothers.

But before letting me go, he leans closer to my ear to whisper "I won't hold back from now on".

Leaving me with a heartbeat over the speed limit, I sheepishly make my way to the guys who are staring at me with smirks. "So... our little sister has kissed her soulmates and we didn't even hear about it?" MJ says as he wraps an arm around my shoulders and I blush. "Only Hoseok so far..." I mumble and they all hum teasingly.

"Who's next on the list?" Sanha asks and I blush even further as we exit the building. I think back to Yoongi's reaction today.

"Probably my grumpy cat".

Finally here with the chapter. It might be going slow as of late, but I got something big coming very soon, I just need some steps to happen first. Y'all get your seat belts ready because you're in for a ride.

As always, I love you guys, thank you for following and sharing this adventure with me, we're almost at 24k views, which is incredible, never saw that coming. Stay safe, stay healthy and stay happy.
