That evening in the guestroom

You and Taehyung lay on the bed, with his arm wrapped around your body as your head rests on his chest. The heat from his body eases away the remains of the anxiety that had been built up throughout the day but you can't stop thinking about what happened with Dylan.

"Babe, are you okay?" He breaks the silence, playing with his fingers gently over your back. You let out a small sigh. "I'm fine Tae. Just... Dylan. I never thought he'd show up like that after everything."

His jaw clenches and something darkens in his eyes. "Today, he crossed a line. I don't want him anywhere near you Yunru."

He says tightly through gritted teeth. "He's toxic and my gut tells me he won't leave us alone so why is he so obsessed with you?"

You move to look into his eyes properly; concern etched across every handsome feature of his face, "Taelove, Dylan didn't even know who you were as a celebrity."

You tell him quietly before looking down again at where your fingers are playing circles on his tummy, "He was just too wrapped up in being his jealous self about everything else to care about anything else around him. He was like a dark demon."

You admit before letting out a humourless laugh, "But yeah... He's different now." Taehyung kisses your forehead softly, hands gentle as they rub up and down your sides soothingly.

"He is mental Yunnie" His voice softens affectionately and you can feel him smile against your skin when he talks again." But Hobi-hyung really did save the day didn't he? Ming Mei's birthday was so much more memorable than my presence ever could have been because of him." He teased lightly shaking you both slightly from side to side causing another giggle to bubble up from deep within your throat.

With soft giggles still spilling from between you. Your soft lips lean up to press it against his cheek in the gentlest of kisses.

As Taehyung leaned down to kiss you, he chuckled breathlessly. It was a sweet, gentle kiss that made your heart swell with love for him.

"You know," he said, pulling back slightly. "We still need to talk about you moving to Seoul. Our new apartment is ready, and we'd have privacy there. During the week you can stay at our apartment especially when Bangtan is away on tours or promotions and you have to attend uni classes. But if we home, you need to be at the Bangtan mansion or if we want more privacy we can be at the apartment during our breaks. Plus, the Bangtan mansion isn't far off, so we'd always have the guys close."

You bit your lip as you considered his words, "I've been playing with the idea, Taelove," you said finally. "I might apply to Yonsei with Ji-ho. She's Yoongi's soulmate after all and she will want to be near him also and she might be back for good in Seoul after she completes her acting workshop. She told me she'll finish her graduate studies at her old university, and it would be awesome if we could go together."

His frown deepened slightly as he looked down at you through his lashes."I don't want Dylan knowing about your move... I'm worried Yunnie...he's unpredictable more unstable.If he hears about your friend Ji-ho from online post he might manipulate her so he get closer to you and follow you to Seoul..being an nuisance for you."

"I know but we'll be careful," You assured him gently "Besides Ji-ho will be with me tough and a pity Samiya has already completed her MBA so she'll just focus on her online boutique while doing working as a stylist with BigHit. We'll have each other's backs. They both know about my struggles with Dylan..."

Taehyung sighed pulling your body against his own."I just want to keep you safe baby, Dylan can't ruin what we have."

You smiled softly pressing your forehead against his."He won't I promise"

The two of you stayed like that for a while longer, taking comfort in each other's presence as the weight of the day started to lift from your shoulders. Taehyung's hand gently slid up to cup your soft cheek as he leaned in this time, kissing you deeper and with more passion than before. Your mouths were dancing in sync as your energy levels rise highly.

As you slowly parted your lips from his teasing slightly, you asked seductively,"So... baby,are you going to tell me now which hotel were staying at in Hawaii? Or is that still a secret?" You waggled your brows suggestively.

A mischievous grin spread across Taehyung's face "You'll find out when we get there sweetheart. I want it to be a surprise...and don't give me those doe eyes like Kookie, I'm not gonna fall for that..."

"But will you fall for this..." You snaked your arms around his shoulders and pulled him down on you, into another deep, sloppy kiss that had the young Bangtan totally dazed. Ready for your night of tenderness.

Next morning

The next morning, Liu-Mei had to wake up early so she could take you to where your bridal shoot was going to be near the Beidaihe scenic beach. It's over an hours drive away. Your mom insisted that both of you had some breakfast before leaving so Shelby and Zhang were also seated at the breakfast table with the three of you.

Taehyung said goodbye with a wink and a "Have a good day, love. I'm going to do some sightseeing with your parents, Zhang, and Shelby. We're going on a guided city tour through west Beijing."

You kissed him quickly and grabbed your hand bag before hopping into Liu-Mei's car. You were so glad that Liu-Mei got to spend most of her short break with you and your family. Ming was still asleep.

When you arrived at the location, you were greeted by the smell of salt in the air and the sound of waves crashing against the shore. Ms. Bai practically bounced up to you; she was so excited. The whole crew for the photoshoot had already set up: there was a little area designated for wardrobe changes. You always get nervous when it comes to these modeling shoots.

"Yunru! I've got great news!" she squealed, engulfing you in a hug, "Not only do you have this bridal shoot for Harpers Bazaar, but I've lined up more catalogue work for you - Dior and cosmetic; you'll be Fila China's new face for their summer catalogue with netball player Fiyang."

Your eyes widened in shock and delight. "Fila China? Dior again...wow? That's amazing Ms Bai!"

"That's not all," she continued, waving her hands dramatically as her grin grew wider, "You've also been requested for a Coca-Cola photo shoot with...wait for it...Jackson Wang! The Chinese Kpop idol himself-his agency confirmed that he specifically asked for you to be the female model in his commercial."

Your breath caught in your throat. Jackson Wang? The Chinese idol who had a crush on you? The one who sent all those flowers to your agency? The thought of working alongside him made your heart race; nervous excitement churned in your stomach."I... I don't know what to say. This is amazing, but..."

Ms. Bai smiled at you reassuringly, "I know it's a lot, but you're a professional. You'll do great and your soulmate will understand; this is work."

You nodded, still trying to process everything. "You're right. I'll do my best."

When Liu-Mei arrived on set with you, the crew let her sit with them as soon as Ms Bai introduced her-they found out she's a graduated fashion stylist. You gave her a thumbs up; you knew that Liu-Mei would be offered an assistant position quickly.

The magazine crew used a section of the beach Cafe as their indoor shoot area. The stylist even added hair extensions to your shoulder length hair; you loved it so much that in you mentally decided that you were going to start growing your hair out again-your mom had cut it into a bob since elementary school. Ming Mei was the only one who inherited the love for long hair from your family; she has waist length hair which she loves dearly.

For the shoot, you wore a number of beautiful wedding dresses - each one more stunning than the last. The first was a white, flowy gown with delicate lace accents that would be perfect for a beach ceremony. The second was a sleeker dress with a high slit - modern and sexy as it caught the light while you stood in front of the ocean. And the third was a traditional red Chinese bridal dress that symbolizes love and prosperity.

The shoot went well; every frame seemed to click into place in front of the gentle waves. Your hair blew in the soft sea breezes, making for effortless shots.

.....

Chat Room with Samiya and Ji-ho

When you finally had a moment to breathe after the last take, the craft team gave you a watermelon crush to satisfied your thirst. Liu Mei was helping the stylist crew to pack up some if the stuff. You opened your Belles' chat app to find it blowing up from Samiya and Ji-ho. You snorted at the text after telling them about your vacation break and how Taehyung adapting to your family dynamics-recounting the Dylan incident too.

Yunru: "Guys, you won't believe what happened. Dylan came to the lake house out of nowhere, angry and crazy jealous. He was talking more like confronting Zhang and my brother is still mad about the kiss video incident. He told him before that he was not welcome at our home anymore, but then he saw red when he saw me sitting in Taeloves arms and he went up to Tae. Disrespected the elders' family that were there."

Samiya: "What?! The audacity! I knew he was weird but this? Disrespecting the elders is a big no-o."

Ji-ho: "OMG Yunru are you okay? And Tae? How did this even happen?"

Yunru: "A complete mess. He pushed Tae into the lake and I... punched him. Can't believe I did that, but it felt so good and Dylan had it coming. The last time Liu Mei punched him. After that, I furiously told him we're done being friends. It was just too much. But on a happier note, my mom's birthday and Ming Mei's party were amazing. Tae really meshed with the fam. And Hobi... he made Ming's day perfect. He truly come through for Tae and I. "

Samiya: "I'm glad Hobi was able to help out. He is so kind. Dylan still can't get over it though.. Are you thinking about moving to Seoul now? To be closer to Tae, uni and working BigHit... all that?"

Yunru: "Yeah I'm actually considering it heavily... Ji-ho how did your meeting with YG/BH go?"

Ji-ho: "Oh it was so good sis...the agencies didn't know what hit them when they found out Yoongi and I are soulmates . But we found a nice way around it so we could be together 😌. I let Yoongi meet my dad first for lunch first, then the real shocker came when my mom and sister met him 🤣 Jisoo couldn't even speak during the family meeting she was so starstruck! It was so funny seeing her tongue-tied like that since she doesn't have a problem speaking her mind usually...and her and Yoongi don't really get along like that...but he was so polite and amused. My mom was all over him. My cute kitty,"

You laughed at the image, Jisoo's usually composed demeanor falling apart. "I can't believe she was speechless! Yoongi really has that effect on people.. what about the rest of Blackpink"

Ji-ho: I told Jisoo to keep it secret because nobody knows the Belles. She was dumbstruck but the Yonsei uni fest was energetic and glorious after all that excitement still Jennie hated my guts 🥲. She didn't made any effort to talk to me, but luckily her attitude didn't phase me even if it hurt me a lot. But it's her problem unfortunately the management saw a potential expose if Blinks saw our inner vibe , so I had to switch standing positions with Rose 🤷🏽‍♀️

Yunru: Girl that is messed up. Is Jennie still salty about you and Yoongs? Gosh, she needs to grow up. Isn't Kai her real soulmate.

Ji-ho: Yeah, but they are just friends a blue-yellow string.

Samiya: Yeah Ji-ho don't need that nonsense with these girls. She got a whole new kdrama to focus on.

Ji-ho: Jennie still hung up I just don't know how to tell her about my status ,she already accused me of seducing Yoongi even though I knew she liked him first. How do I break it to her that Yoongi is my soulmate 😭Yoongi told me to just move out of Blackpink penthouse and move in at his new apartment for uni purposes and peace of mind.

Yunru: That's mad sad. Taelove asked me to move in one if his apartments too. Thinking about moving out there fo real.

Samiya: That would be really awesome Yun. The bells have to be together. Move to Seoul please. It will be so much fun. There, we can also stay together at the Bangtan Mansion and never feel lonely. The boys are on a one month break.So let's make the most of our time with them. We are going to tour Singapore early August after the break.They also have a KBS Music bank special appearance.

Ji-ho: Their schedule is so packed.Bangtan seriously needs a huge and longer hiatus. I'm actually going back to LA for my acting workshop, then coming back for good.I hope the kdrama shoot does not get rescheduled.Being a newly debuted actress is tiring.

Samiya: You will cope girl. Yun you must enjoy your wedding shoot.I cannot wait to see it in Harpers Bazaar.Truly a model now.

Yunru: Thank you and I will.I'm so excited.But I got more news but I'll tell you guys later.Lemme go change, we done now.

Ji-ho: Well guys enjoy your day further.I have to get ready for mv- rehearsal.

Samiya: Good luck.See you guys when Seokjin and I are back from our little vacation. We are relaxing at the swimming pool.🤩💖

Yunru: Enjoy but not too much.The stress of that 'almost preggie' gave me grey hair.🫣

Samiya: Argh Yun. I will be safer trust me.Hope you stay safe with the ferocious Tiger in Hawaii.😘😊

Ji-ho: There will be lots of 😘😘😘

Yunru: Oh my. I'm leaving the chat bye-bye.🫢

Yunru left the chat.

.......

Just after you concluded the chat, you quickly went to the designated room to changed into your normal clothes. The director spoke with you and complimented on your positive attitude as well as professionalism. They couldn't talk enough towards working together with you on projects in future.

You could just thank them in gratitute. Ms Bai informed that your fee is beyond several million yuan that made your breath hitched. Your bank balance was growing significantly. You can even afford a very expensive luxurious sports car and an apartment with that model fee. You and Liu-Mei greeted the crew and Ms Bai joyfully and left after noon.

At a trendy café along the way, Liu Mei suggested stopping by one of those cafes to eat lunch. While heading for a small cafe to have lunch, it was quite cozy inside the vehicle. You were talking about Dylan, the parties, your future and your trip.

The sea breeze followed you as you settled into a table by the window. The café was relatively empty with few people scattered around having their lunch. Some smile and greeted you excitedly. Two teens were so hyped up and run up to were you were seated, politely asking you for an autograph and selca with them.

You smile sweetly and let Liu Mei took the photos.They were so giddy when you also gave them an autograph without being a diva.You were so happy to be a blessing to the two hyped up teens girls.At least they still Iike amd looked up to you after that viral video and online backslash few weeks ago.

Lunch orders of succulent food as well as drinks were brought by friendly waitresses for you and Liu-Mei.

Liu Mei looked at you with a mix of excitement and anxiety in her eyes, taking a deep breath, "I have something to tell you Yun....erm I've decided not going for my graduate studies any more."

Your eyes widened,"What? Why?"

She smiled, her eyes shining with delight. "They found out I worked for a famous agency in South Korea that is how I got an offer to become a stylist in one of the China's leading model agencies. This is my dream job Yunru. It's near home and Mike. The Bighit stylists department wanted me to come and work full time for the company, but it will be too much on my relationship. Mike took over his family company as the new Ceo and I need to be here."Her face turned sad as she looked back at you she wants to be around you but it won't work.

A wide grin broke across your face. "Wow Liu Mei! That's amazing news! Congratulations! Yeah, well, I know .You've been working hard towards this time all along. We are growing up and we need to find our own pathway through it all.. We still going to be bestfriends and noone will take your place in my heart. So when do we get together?"

She nodded eagerly,"It is going to be great.I'm excited about it. The salary is very high also there are benefits attached.I've always wanted to earn my own money without relying on my Babas billions.Mike and I want our own wealth and legacy."

You nodded,"It's the best decision Mei.I don't know how I'm gonna survive without you if I had to stay. Sana leaving, Dahyun leaving or even worst case scenario loosing you. I dont want to be by myself with Dylan around. We are all going separate ways following our dreams.Our chatgroup must stay alive.We must promised never let go off each other.We're going to be Sanas bridesmaid's also. "

Liu Mei chuckle," Believe me or not, but I'm going to miss uni so much, but not the exams."She scrunched up her nose.

You smiled while sipping on your soda," Yes. But it will have found memories."

It was after 4pm that you were driving back in a comfortable mood, home. You decided to spent another two hours at Liu-Meis home because you'll be leaving Beijing the next day.

....

Meanwhile

Zhang booked the afternoon VIP movie tickets online for a new Spider-Man Homecoming ,with Taehyung, Shelby and Ming Mei. They will sit at premier seats right at back on top. VIP guests enter through a different door; they have their own menu and seating area. The attendants in the cinema bring what they ordered from the premium menu. There were very few people occupying premium seats only.

While you were shooting, Taehyung did a city wide tour in a bus with your family members. He was not spotted by anyone and if there had been any C.ARMYs around with eyes like hawks, they would have been kind and respectful enough not to bother his private time with friends.

By midday when they came back home from the bus trip, Zhang had taken Taehyung, Shelby and Ming Mei to watch the film at the local Mall. In order not to be recognized by C.Army, who are highly trained in identifying Bangtan, Taehyung always wore his bucket hat, glasses and mask together as he went about his business in their midst.

Even though some fans spotted him despite his disguise before their puzzled looks turned into recognition; however he still stood out among other people because of how attractive he looked. No one can hide beauty like that.

As they took up their seats Shelby and Zhang could not resist teasing him.

"Honestly, Taehyung, you cannot hide from eagle-eyed ARMY," smirked Shelby.

Zhang agreed with her head slightly nodding."They probably know you're on vacation.In fact, good thing Yunru isn't here or else everyone would think that you are dating an upcoming Chinese model.And also there's something about fake news being able to go viral."

Taehyung smiled sheepishly," It's all part of the entertainment experience,I guess.You can never really be alone.Our ARMY even knows our physical attributes to the smallest detail... which is sometimes so inconvenient."

During the movie, one of the ARMY fans handed a cinema attendant discreetly a box of caramel popcorn to Ming Mei who was sitting next to Taehyung and she handed it over too him.

"Taetae...that girl gave you this. She works here at the movies" she passed him the box.Taehyungs eyes widen, because he took off his glasses.

A small note attached read, "Welcome to Beijing.I love you, Taetae. Enjoy your movie. C. Army."

Behind his mask, Taehyung smiled gratefully at this kind act from his fan. Shelby told him softly," Look? They always watch out but they respect your privacy.You have such great fans."

He smirk and nodded," Army is amazing! We totally have the best fandom in the world."

Shelby chuckled softly," It will go viral on Naver and online platforms.I hope they didn't take vids of us here. "She mused as she discreetly looked around for any cameras focussing discreetly on Taehyung. A good photo of him will give paparazzi a good fee from tabloids.

Then, as forthcoming attractions played a Kiehl product commercial came up on the big screen featuring none other than your lovely soulmate Yunru in a beauty ad. The whole group perked up with excitement just to see you in such a glamorous setting.

Sitting there incomprehendingly looking at his beautiful soulmate who happens to be a natural stunner made both Shelby and Zhang almost scream loudly.Taehyung's left sitting there shocked staring at his gorgeous girlfriend whose simple make-up ad looked so flawless. She was so talented.

"Yunrus' on the big screen!" exclaimed Ming Mei excitedly, her eyes open wide in awe.

As he watched you act so naturally and hold the audience's attention even in a commercial, Taehyung was filled with pride. Zhang took a film of it while it played and he couldn't wait to tell you about it latter.

The group enjoyed the movie and had good time together. They chose to order for their supper from a place that sales only burgers and pizzas. Zhang called his mother telling her not to bother herself cooking for the family.

Shelby and Zhang will fly back to USA tonight. For the rest of summer they are going to spend at Shelbys family's place and also go with friends to a resort in Nevada.

Taehyung and Yunru will be leaving next morning for Seoul.
....

The next morning, you and Taehyung were at the front door of your house to see off your family members as you set-off for Seoul. Shelby and Zhang had left for the USA that previous evening; therefore, it was only the two of you who were going. The discreet bodyguards of Taehyungs came to pick you up from home. They will accompany you to Seoul in the charter than be going to Honolulu in Hawaii with you.

Your mother hugged you tightly, teary eyed on your shoulder with love."Be safe, Yunru, send us many pics," she said tenderly. "And please keep an eye on her too, Tae."

"Sure Ama," you nodded as hugged her back so tight after all what she did for those days.

Your dad gave Taehyung a firm handshake. "Take good care of my daughter. Taehyung. We might see you in Daegu when we'll be visiting your parents in later in the summer."

"I shall keep that promise sir" answered him while bowing down respectfully.

Ming Mei clung to your arm, pouting, "I'll miss you, Jiejie.It won't be nice without you."

"I will also miss you little Ming," You told her as you mess up with her hair, "... but I will be back soon for graduation then Baba says we will fly to South Korea visiting Taes family and the Lees."

She just pouted and gave Taehyung also a tight hug.

Taehyung squeezed your hand gently as you walked towards his car, "Ready for our little adventure?"

You looked up at him with a heart full of anticipation and said, "More than ready, Tae."

Accompanied by your discreet bodyguards, the duo embarked on their journey.

While driving away from home he held you close to his heart with his arm around your waist, feeling excitement bubbling inside you over what lay ahead within these days. First Seoul, then your secret getaway to Hawaii...

Taehyung can't wait to surprise you and you cant wait to enjoy a few days alone with your soulmate.
