Autumn Leaves

    Jae waited patiently with Namjoon and the others for Yeona to come back to her tent. She and Namjoon had gathered them all up that same night, saying they all needed to talk. Jungkook was sitting next to Jae on the red velvet love seat, and he must have seen the anxiousness on her face because she felt his warm hand grasp hers.

    She blushed immediately because of that. Her eyes darted to his charming bunny smile that he was flashing her, and remembering what kissing him felt like made her blush even more and her hands clammed up. He didn't seem to mind though.

    Tae spoke through a yawn, "Where did she go Namjoon...I'm getting sleepy." He was sitting next to Jae's legs on the floor, and slightly leaning on them, and Hobi was on the opposite side, with an arm wrapped around her ankle. Jin, Jimin, and Yoongi were on the floor scattered but still close to everyone else. Namjoon was sitting on the arm of the couch, brows furrowed, waiting. "I don't know, she just said to wait here."

    He made eye contact with Jae, and she wished she knew what was going on in his head. He looked like he knew something he shouldn't, but then again, she supposed she was in the same boat. She remembered then that she had only told Yoongi that she knew their secret.

    She squeezed Jungkook's hand naturally which made him glance over. She had to tell them, "Um...you guys? I gotta tell you all something." They all turned to her, and Yoongi raised one eyebrow. She swallowed hard, looking at the floor as their stares were too much for her to handle. "I...I know about-"

    "I have returned!" Yeona's voice boomed throughout the tent as she walked inside. Jae sighed and sat back on the couch.

    "Sorry, I had to make sure we wouldn't be interrupted. The last thing we need is for someone to be barging in on this...interesting conversation." she said, letting out a feigned chuckle. "What's going on?" Hobi asked, turning to Namjoon. He sighed in response, "First of all, we need to tell Jae everything." he sounded hesitant, and Jae knew why.

    "It's...so...there's...we all, um..." he started rubbing the back of his neck nervously. Jae could tell his face was a little pink. Never had she seen him this bothered, and if she was being honest it was really cute.

    Jin tried to help him out but he ended up rambling pure nonsense from nerves. She could see Yoongi was fighting a smile as he threw his head back, "Aish...this is torture. Jae, help them out before they explode." They all looked at him, and then looked at Jae.

    She laughed nervously, "Well, I already know what you're going to say. I'm your soulmate, for all seven of you." she said slowly, she had never said the words out loud and it made it more real somehow.

    They all stared at her in disbelief, except for Yoongi of course, who was fighting back laughter.
"Well then, that eases the tension a little then doesn't it." Yeona cleared her throat and walked closer to her. The boys were silent until Namjoon stuttered out, "Wait wait wait, Jae you knew?? How?" Yoongi scoffed, "She heard us talking. It wasn't that hard considering we were being pretty loud."

     "You knew and you didn't bother to tell us?" Jimin asked, crossing his arms and squinting at Yoongi. "That would have saved us a lot of grief." Jin lightly hit him on the head and Yoongi just smiled. "I couldn't resist, it was too funny." "Was not." Hobi pouted, and Jungkook and Tae had breathed what sounded like a sigh of relief.

     "Let's focus on the subject at hand, shall we?" Yeona said, turning back to Jae. "How much do you know about hybrids and their soulmates?" Jae thought about it, and in all the books she's read about hybrids it was barely mentioned, therefore she knew practically nothing. She shook her head, "I'm mostly in the dark I'm afraid."
