For Life - Kim Seokjin ✔︎

#4 - Deals from denial

Author's POV

As soon as they enter the common room, Aera pulls Yoongi over to the side. Because if she saw what she thinks she saw, then they have a big problem.

She had a feeling it would happen, and hoped that these feelings were false. But sadly, they weren't.

"This has to be wrong, right? Maybe it was pointing at someone else. There's no way her arrow was pointing at-"

"It was, Aera," Yoongi says, folding his arms. "It was pointing at him. We both saw that crystal clear."

He then cracks a smile once again and bursts out laughing, using his fist to cover his mouth.

"Yoongi, it's not funny! They're going to kill each other!" Aera whisper shouts.

"Are we really surprised that it's him?" Yoongi defends himself.

Aera pauses in consideration from his words. And to be honest, she isn't surprised either.

"I guess the universe saw two people that hate each other's guts and thought: Hey, they make a good match!" Yoongi says, still chuckling. "Which is exactly the reason why it's funny."

"Okay, all we have to do is keep them away from each other. We'll...figure out what to do later."

Yoongi furrows his eyebrows. "Aera, they both have an arrow on their wrists that literally leads them to each other. I don't think it'll take them long to realise."

Tilting her head she once again realises he's right. She then glances over to where Tara is. Or where Tara was.

Her mouth drops open. "Where is she?"

Yoongi also looks up and curses under his breath. "We may have jinxed it."

Groaning loudly Aera makes a run for it towards the door, Yoongi running behind her. As she slams the door open and runs outside, the two of them freeze.

Because Tara and Seokjin are both staring at eachother with the same look in their eyes.

"Oh shit," Yoongi mumbles.

Aera hurrys over to Tara and grimace a little by the look of realisation on her face. Awkwardly, she chuckles and glances back at Jin.

"Well, this should be interesting."

When she look back at Tara, she can already see the anger rising in her eyes.

Aera instantly acts and pulls her away from Jin by the arm. She reluctantly is tugged along and they turn the corner, walking halfway down the stairs and stopping on the landing.

"Okay, before you say anything-"

"There's clearly something wrong with this thing." Tara forces a laugh, aggressively tapping the arrow on her wrist.

Aera raises an eyebrow whilst watching her. "The arrow never lies Tara."

"Well this one clearly is! Because there's no way that it's that devil!" She instantly answers back, referring to Seokjin.

Aera sighs, holding her hands out to calm her. "Look, arrows rarely change direction to who they point to because most of the time they're always right."

"I don't care Yoongi, mine has to change! Can't we get it checked out at the doctors or something?" Jin mumbles, reluctantly looking down at the arrow on his wrist.

Yoongi scrunches his face up. "What are you talking about? What the hell are they gonna do?"

"I can't believe Tara's your soulmate." Their fellow friend's voice speaks out of Yoongi's phone, followed by a familiar laugh. "This is amazing!"
