Souls of Seoul: The Rise and Fall | OT7

9.

This isn't the first time your shower has been full and it probably won't be the last. Despite how tired you are, having the men you've been so far away from right next to you gives you some newfound energy.

"This is familiar," Jin muses softly with a smile, shuffling around until he's behind you. Jimin makes a soft hum of agreement, his eyes crinkling as he, too, smiles. The last time you returned from a trip you found yourself in this very shower with them; a delightful memory.

Yoongi grabs the bottle of therapy oil he bought you after your bonding. He had insisted it would help with any discomfort felt during the change of your core temperature, but you think it was at least half an excuse to just buy you something he could use on you in the shower. As much as Jungkook has taken to loving helping you wash your hair, Yoongi is just as lush over keeping your skin moisturized. You don't mind, honestly. The small intimate moments like that that you get with each of the men just add to the overall love and devotion you have for each other.

The guys begin to wash and shampoo, both themselves and each other. Your eyes drift from one man to the next, catching the subtle yet familiar ways with which they interact. Their colored strands pull and stretch like gooey cheese between their hands. Namjoon is a bit clumsy, dropping the shower sponge a few times before Yoongi rolls his eyes with a suppressed grin and takes over washing the rest of Namjoon's body. Yoongi is just as methodical with Namjoon as he is with you, slow and attentive.

You can feel the yellow bond start to pulse softly as Jimin begins to hum a tune, one you can't quite place but it sounds familiar nonetheless.

"What is that?" you ask Jimin softly.

"Hm? Oh," he smiles, his cheeks coloring slightly. "It's a song Yoongi composed shortly after I bonded in...it's the one I dance to when I need to get out of my head."

That's where you've heard it. You happened upon Jimin utilizing the dance studio a few times before you had bonded in.

"I composed it for him," Yoongi confirms. "I call it Papillon, French for butterfly."

Namjoon chuckles. "Want to explain why you named it that?"

You raise an eyebrow, looking over your shoulder at Yoongi. His eyes flick to yours then to Jimin's. "Well, it was the first time I saw him dance. We were in France, on Jimin's first assignment as a quaerenti. We were in the countryside, waiting for some intel from Beomsoo. Jimin was feeling restless so he started to dance...in the middle of a field of wildflowers, under the light of the moon. He moved with such grace and beauty, it reminded me of the way a butterfly flits from flower to flower."

"Romantic," you giggle, relaxing back against Namjoon. He wraps his arms around your shoulders, you shiver slightly as his forearms graze over your chest.

"Hey, I can be romantic," Yoongi mutters, flicking soap at you.

Jin leans over and presses a kiss to Yoongi's temple. "He's easily the most romantic out of all of us if you'd believe it." Yoongi colors slightly but you know he secretly really enjoys the doting.

"Let's finish up, we can continue the romantics from the comfort of bed," Jin suggests.

"Deal," you agree, feeling warm and fuzzy from the added pampering.

The water dripping from all your bodies echoes in the bathroom after the shower is turned off. Jin steps out and grabs towels, distributing them. Yoongi helps dry your hair and Namjoon retrieves an oversized shirt and panties from your dresser.

Where all seven of the men have items for you in their bathrooms and rooms, you have acquired quite the collection of your own for them. The eight toothbrushes on your sink and extra shirts and sweatpants in your dresser make you smile every time your eyes land on them. You are all quick to finish up, Jin turning down the blankets on the bed and everyone climbing in.
