Dance With Me (Hoseok X OC)

Chapter 10

Jimin, Jungkook, and their soulmate were relaxed on the sofa in their house. She had her head in Jimin's lap and he was running his fingers through her curls. Jungkook had pulled her feet into his lap and was rubbing them. They could both sense something was bothering the girl and they hated seeing her in such melancholy mood.

"What's the matter baby?" Jimin asked, leaning over and looking into her face. He would do anything for this girl and wanted to see her smile again.

The girl shrugged. She didn't want to lie to her Jiminie, but she didn't want to betray her best friend either. "It's just some stuff going on with Cheyenne," she said carefully. That much was true.

Jungkook pulled on one of her toes and she jerked her foot back in protest. "You know you can tell us anything right?" he asked, his concern evident on his face. "We love you more than anything and want to see you happy."

The girl nodded. "I know that Kookie. It's just something with Chey. She confided in me and I don't want to do anything to break her trust," she said. She hated keeping secrets from her soulmates, but this was something that was really important to Cheyenne.

Jungkook pulled her foot back into his lap, stroking his fingers gently along her calf. "I get it sweetheart. It's hard to keep secrets from us, but you don't want to betray her either right?"

The girl nodded. Jungkook always knew just what to say to make her feel better.

Jungkook's rubbing paused for a moment as an uncomfortable thought crossed his mind. "It doesn't have anything to do with us, right?" he asked, his voice filled with worry. "You're... you're not leaving me?"

The girl sat up quickly and gathered Jungkook in her arms. "No. Of course not," she said, her voice gentle. "I love the two of you so very much. There is nothing that would take me away from you." She knew that after everything they had gone through that sometimes Jungkook could be a little insecure about their relationship. He knew without a doubt that she loved him, but sometimes worried that someone was going to come and snatch her away.

Jungkook gave her a smile then pressed his lips to hers. He cupped her cheeks between his hands, moving his lips against hers then slipped his tongue in her mouth when she opened them to him.

Jimin watched his best friend kiss their soulmate, a soft smile on his face. As weird as it sounded, there had never been any amount of jealousy between the two guys. They had worried in the beginning that intimacy might be strange between them, but some of Jimin's favorite moments had been watching Jungkook render her breathless. Of course he loved his times with her too and always made sure to make her feel as good as possible when it was his turn.

She pulled herself back from Jungkook then turned to Jimin, a sly smile on her face. "Does my Jiminie want kisses too?" she asked, running a hand along his arm.

Jimin said nothing and just yanked her forward into his lap so she was straddling him. He grabbed the collar of her shirt and pulled her forward, pressing his plump lips to hers. She let out a shocked squeak at his aggressiveness before giving into him completely. She pulled back and stood, holding out a hand to Jimin. He rose to his feet and she held out the other hand to Jungkook. "You coming Kookie?" she asked, a deceptively sweet smile on his face.

Jungkook jumped to his feet and took her hand. "Not yet, but I will be," he said, making them all laugh as they headed towards their shared bedroom.

Hoseok sat in a café with Cheyenne across from him. After their rehearsal that morning, he had convinced her to join him for lunch. He couldn't explain why, but all he wanted to do was spend more time with the pretty dancer.

They had been laughing over horror stories from prior dance classes. "You really stepped on someone's ballet slipper ribbons?" Hoseok asked Cheyenne, an amused smile on his face.

Cheyenne covered her face in embarrassment. "Hey! Don't judge me. It wasn't my fault they were untied. I accidentally stepped on it and she fell," she said, her face red.

"At least it wasn't during a performance," Hoseok said. He watched as Cheyenne's face got even redder. "Oh my gosh. It was!!"

Cheyenne laid her head on the table, laughing. "It just happened. I kept telling her to put a pin in her ribbons so that didn't happen, but she didn't listen," Cheyenne exclaimed. "So technically it was her fault."

Hoseok laughed at her reaction. "You're terrible!" he said. Cheyenne lifted her head just as Hoseok went to pat her hand and quickly slid her hands out of reach. He didn't miss the movement and his eyes widened in surprised, but he carefully schooled his features. He couldn't deny the fleeting hurt that appeared and disappeared just as quickly.

Cheyenne didn't miss the look of surprise on Hoseok's face and quickly grabbed a napkin, pretending to wipe off her fingers, trying to play off the movement. She wasn't ready for the contact yet. "What... what did you think of the moves from this morning?" she asked, trying to distract Hoseok.

Hoseok nodded. "I think we really got a good start on it. The song is really sexy so naturally the moves will have to be as well," he said. "You're a really good dancer."

Cheyenne smiled at his words. "Thanks but I'm lucky to have you as a partner. You're so talented," she said, not able to stop herself from blurting it out.

Hoseok's cheeks flushed at her words. He had heard it before, but it felt different coming from Cheyenne. "Your soul... soulmate won't mind?" he asked, not so subtly asking if she had met him yet.

Cheyenne's eyes dropped to the table and she fidgeted with her napkin. "We've not had contact yet," she replied.

Hoseok' heart fell in what he could only describe as disappointment but a strange thought came to his mind. She said they haven't had contact yet, not that they haven't met. Hoseok decided not to push the issue since clearly the discussion made her uncomfortable. "You ready to head out of here?" he asked, changing the subject.

Cheyenne nodded then sighed. "Yes. I've been putting off laundry all week and it's finally caught up with me," she said, rolling her eyes with a laugh.

Hoseok caught on to her change in demeanor. "Me too. It's the chore I hate the most," he said.

Cheyenne laughed. "I don't mind folding it. I just hate putting it away," she explained.

Hoseok shook his head. "I hate the folding part. Putting it away doesn't bother me," he said smiling at their differences. "Maybe we should switch."

Cheyenne's eyes widened in horror at the thought of Hoseok putting away her lingerie or at the thought of folding his underwear. "You're crazy," she said, putting the thought out of her mind.

Hoseok laughed at her reaction. "I know. I hear it all the time," he replied. Hoseok stood and Cheyenne followed suit. They left the café and headed out to Hoseok's car. Hoseok opened the door for her then closed it when she was settled in. As he went around to the driver's seat, he tried to push the thoughts away that were invading his mind. He was getting too close. He needed to distance himself before it was too late.
