Color My World Joon

Chapter 24: You're Mine

Several hours after the New Year, Mary woke up from being unconscious on a bed with one wrist handcuffed to the bed frame. The room was nicely decorated but all the windows were closed and the blinds were shut. She called out for someone.

"Hello?! Is anybody there? Help!"

Nate walked into the room with a tray of breakfast food.

"Good morning sweetie. I hope you had a good night's sleep. I made you some eggs and toast."

He placed the tray on Mary's lap and then sat next to her on the bed.

"Nate, where am I? What happened last night?"

"We had some drinks and you passed out because I roofied you."

"You drugged me? Nate how could you? I trusted you. Why would you do something like this?"

"You really don't remember me do you?"

"I know we met at a jewelry store. Am I supposed to know you from somewhere else?"

"Does Nordstrom ring a bell?"

Mary stopped to think about what he said and then she realized who Nate actually was.

"You're the young man that tried to kidnap me at the Nordstrom while I was on tour with BTS! And now I'm your soulmate? I'm so confused."

Nate explained to her that ever since he saw her photo with Namjoon he didn't care that she wasn't his soulmate and that he needed to be with her. So he followed her around through social media and was with her every step of the way through the tour. He would've approached her sooner but then Namjoon had his accident and she left for Korea and Nate couldn't follow her there so he waited until she came back to America. While she was in Korea, he purchased some contacts that allowed him to see in color even though he hadn't found his soulmate and then had them meet at the jewelry shop.

"Wait, you did all that? Then how did I have the flash of black and white when we met? Or the website?"

"The contacts have a small flaw in which those who can see color, like you, will know I don't see color by looking into my eyes. However, that worked in my favor because you thought it was a glitch that proved you're my soulmate. As for the website, I created it which is why it has no sources and was super difficult to find and how it almost exactly described our situation. That's because having two soulmates isn't real, it never was, I just made you believe it was."

Mary could not believe what she was hearing and now regretted not pushing him away even after Kevin had warned her about the fishy signs and sticky situation.

"What are you going to do to me? Why did you bring me here?"

"I'm not going to hurt you. We will live here together forever and happily ever after just like soulmates would."

"You really think you're going to get away with this? My friends and family will wonder where I am. Not to mention Namjoon will also come looking for me."

"Your sissy boy in Korea? They won't let him come looking for you. He's far too busy. And no offense, but all of your friends are too stupid to find you. You're stuck with me."

"Nate please, reconsider this. You will find your own soulmate with time. I don't even like you like that! You're not my soulmate and never will be! I promise if you let me go now, I won't tell anyone anything and we can move on with our lives and pretend this never happened, just please let me go."

Nate furrowed his eyebrows in anger.

"No!" he yelled at her, "You are going to be my soulmate whether you like it or not! We are meant to be together! You're mine!"

He then picked up the breakfast tray from her lap.

"You don't deserve breakfast today for being so mean to me. Have fun starving."

Nate began to walk out and Mary started to yell in frustration at him. He left the room and closed the door leaving Mary alone. Frustrated, she stopped struggling as she figured there was no use given she was handcuffed to the bed's frame. She tried looking for her phone which was usually in her pocket but it wasn't there. She thought that Nate took it so she could avoid contacting other people. However, she still had her bracelet and realized that that was her closest bet to communicating with someone. She then tapped it once to see if Namjoon was available, he replied with a tap.

Meanwhile in Korea, Namjoon was in his room and felt his bracelet vibrate in a pattern he had never felt before. It consisted of three short taps, three long taps, and then three short taps again. He felt that happen about four times before it stopped. Namjoon, being the smart guy that he was, realized she was giving him morse code for something and pulled out his laptop to look up the key to morse code. He then realized she was coding "S.O.S" to him and figured something was wrong with her. He immediately dialed Gianna and asked her if she knew where Mary was.

"I haven't heard from her since she texted me Happy New Year last night," Gianna informed him.

"Do you know who she was with last night?"

"She told me it was a guy named Nate who claims that she's also his soulmate."

"Mary did mention him to me before. Do you think he could've done something to her?"

"Why? Do you think something is wrong with her?"

"She sent me the morse code for S.O.S through our bracelet so I'm pretty sure she got kidnapped and needs help."

"I hope you're wrong Namjoon but I'll help you figure out if she's ok. I'll go check her house."

Namjoon anxiously waited for Gianna's response to see if she was at her house. After an hour, Gianna called him and said that she wasn't home and her bed was still made so she didn't sleep there that night. He decided that he would gather the boys and Haru to inform them that he was going to travel to America to find her. He called a meeting and they all met up in the living room of the boys' dorm house.

"I need to go to America. Mary is in trouble. I don't know when I'll be back."

"Let me go Namjoon," Haru told him, "I'll find her."

"I can't let you do that, it's not your obligation. She's my soulmate."

"Listen to me Namjoon, I was her bodyguard so it is my duty to protect her but also because she's my friend and I'd hate for something to happen to her."

"But Haru I..."

"No buts," she interrupted him, "You need to stay here and focus on your work while I worry about Mary."

"How am I going to help?"

"Weren't you really good at hacking before you got recruited by Big Hit?" J-Hope asked him.

"I was. I haven't hacked in years."

"You can at least try to hack into the bracelet's signal and pinpoint her location. Then Haru can go there and find her," Jimin stated.

"It's worth a shot. Ok Haru. Let me know when you arrive then I can start to look for her location."

Haru took a flight that night to America and Namjoon began trying to pinpoint the bracelet's location.
