The next few days, Taehyung puts his plan into action, praying every single moment to not let Jeongguk be his soulmate. He apologized to him, but it wasn't like the rivalry was over. The only thing he was sorry for was tainting his image and character, nothing else. Jeongguk is still that annoying little rat who is competitive as hell, and who irritates the shit out of Taehyung. He thinks that's never going to change. Their hate for each other is too strong, too deep for it to be over in a flash.

So what Taehyung does for a week is, 1) stay so far apart from Jeongguk, 2) doesn't go to their shared dorm rather stays at Seokjin's apartment who is so ready to welcome his best friend and solve this mystery of 'are the enemies soulmates or not?' because he ships it, 3) ditches the classes he has with Jeongguk. Which, looking back on it, is quite extreme. But desperate times call for desperate measures. However, Jimin tells him all of this is stupid and he can stop being a coward and just go talk to Jeongguk about it. Taehyung would rather die than do that.

The silver-haired boy, clad in a warm sweater and a jacket on top, on a midsummer day walks along the hallway as students eye him giving weird looks. He can't help it, he feels like he's been freezing for the past week. Hoseok told him to put himself out of his misery and just go back to his dorm, but Taehyung is a stubborn little shit.

His gaze lands on the handsome, breathtaking face belonging to the one and only Jeon Jeongguk, the younger steadily tugging at his heartstrings. He's walking in the opposite direction as Taehyung, his face buried in his mobile phone. And Taehyung... Taehyung, the dramatic idiot that he is, lets out an 'Oh', the syllable a little breathless as his breath hitches in his throat. He feels his heart stutter as he lazily continues walking, staring at the hot and handsome ravenette. WARM.

Jeongguk draws closer and closer and closer and Taehyung's soul has left his body, wandering aimlessly. Jeon Jeongguk walks past him, brushing their shoulders and their fingers stroke.

Warm.

Warm.

Warm.

Everything happens suddenly, in a moment, in a blink of an eye and Taehyung stills, stops breathing, literally. It all feels a blur and then he feels a familiar warmth, all the remnants of cold leaving his body.

Safe.

Safe.

Safe.

His lungs demand oxygen and he finally, finally lets out an audible gasp, his body tingling with warmth after which he speaks in a breathy voice, "Holy shit! He's my soulmate."

Warm. Safe. Warm. Safe. Warm....

"About time you realized that, dumbass," Jimin laughs a little at his best friend's antics, who quite literally stopped breathing when he felt the warmth engulfing his body.
