Bangtan Soulmate AUs

"You deserve it Y/N. You have been working too hard these days," Your friend insisted to take you to the newly opened massage centre that had really nice customer reviews.

"But we have a deadline to meet," You almost whined.

"And that's not until the next week. We are taking this weekend off of work and are treating ourselves. Today we will get ourselves a relaxing massage and tomorrow, trip to the beach and no is not in the option." Her voice had a final tone to it and you knew better than to argue further.

"Fine. Let's see what this amazing massage centre with those amazing reviews has to offer."

You were fairly surprised at how this massage centre looked like. It was fairly pristine with modern interiors. And that was more than enough to hook you in. You were a sucker for places with good interior designs. 

Your friend seemed to know her way around, she was really a huge fan of massages and as fate would have it, her soulmate was really good at it. He was an aromatherapist and consequently, all your presents from the couple were usually really good scented candles, bath bombs, perfumes and as such. And that's how your friend always managed to smell so good.

"Please wait in Room no. 2, we will be sending a masseuse your way," The receptionist smiled warmly at you both. You went in and changed into the robe provided as your friend went out to take a call. When she entered the room, she was fairly panicking.

"What happened?" You asked lazily, the soft cloth of your robe along with the spread beneath you were already making there way to release your stress. You really liked things which were soft to the touch, you liked the feel of different textures in general.

"Soojung's family is visiting."

"So?"

"In like, an hour!"

"What?!"

"And he remembered to inform me just now. He told he has cooked but my in-laws would be home anytime now... I'm sorry Y/N but I need to go," Her chin wobbled.

"Ah okay, okay, calm down there. Relax. Go home, I will be fine on my own," You earnestly replied.

"Are you sure?" 

"Of course! It's not like I am being led to my excursion, it's just a massage," You smiled at her which visibly calmed her down. "It's important for you to leave a good impression on your in-laws. Spare them from your guys' PDA," You snickered. 

"Y/N!" She half yelled, falling into an easy laugh with you, before taking her things and making her way out. You sighed and scrolled through your social media feed while waiting for the masseuse. Few minutes into it and you heard the door slide open and the receptionist you met earlier was standing outside with an apologetic look on her face.

"Ma'am, we are really sorry but the only masseuse who had a free slot had to go because of a last minute emergency and no one else is really available for a few solid hours since it's the weekend. I hate to say this but would you mind if it's a masseur instead?" Her voice was hesitant, as if she expected to lash out any minute now.

And strangely you seemed to understand. It's not that you were too happy with the situation but at the same time, you didn't want to waste your friend's money who insisted on paying for you as an apology. After all it was just a facial and something which was equivalent to a back rub, at least that's what your friend told you.

The receptionist was relieved that you didn't make a fuss out of it. "We are really sorry for this situation, Ma'am. And we are really grateful that you understand. There are quite a few people who are more than against the idea of getting a massage from the opposite gender. We would like to get you a free appointment as an compensation," She informed you before leaving you alone again.
