"Joonie? Joonie, we gotta go babe" I said, shaking him awake. He fell asleep in the living room of the suite shortly after breakfast.

We stayed up almost all night with Geong-min and Koshi, talking with and getting to know each other. I'm pretty sure Geong-min and I knew almost everything about each other by the time we were tired enough to go back to sleep. She was such a cool person, she was smart, very down to earth, adventurous and funny. Koshi was also a delight, it turns out he was an engineering genius. He was a computer engineer with a minor focus in aerospace engineering and a philosophy geek. On top of that he also spoke 4 languages fluently- including Korean; the man was unreal. I had not met him personally I would think she made up him. I was happy that he and Namjoon hit it off as easily as me and his sister, they both had plenty to talk about. Namjoon was fascinated with Koshi's brilliant mind.

I'm not sure what time it was when we got in bed, but we woke up a little after 10 am. Koshi was already up, he'd turned it about 2 hours earlier than us, with a nice breakfast spread waiting for us. After eating, Namjoon and I took showers and checked in with our mates, not telling them the full story just yet. We decided we would wait to tell them in person.

Namjoon and Geong-min talked about their situation extensively, trying to figure out how to move on. Although they were upset and shocked, neither of them thought they could completely cut their mom out of their lives so suddenly. They decided to give themselves some time before trying to talk to her, but a necessary conversation had to be had. Their mom was a good mother to them and up until yesterday they both maintained a good relationship with her, so I know this whole situation was weighing heavily on them. Although I couldn't see myself interacting with that woman ever again, unless she gained some sense and apologized-and even then, maybe, I assured my boyfriend that I'd support him as best as I could.

Koshi offered to drive us back home, so we accepted. The ride was pleasant but quiet since me, Joon and his sister were still tired from staying up so late the night before. When we arrived, Geong-min popped in to say hi to the guys and introduce Koshi to them as well. They stayed for about an hour before heading home themselves.

"Wow, I can't believe Geong-min has a soulmate too, this is crazy" Hoseok said, surprised by the news

"Yeah... makes us wonder how many of us are really out there and why no one has come forward in so long" Yoongi wondered out loud. He chewed on his bottom lip with his arms folded over his chest

"I had the same thought. There must have been a reason soulmates stopped coming out" I added

"Who knows" Jin shrugged "Right now I'm more concerned about what was going on with you two yesterday" He admits, pointing to Joon and I

"A crazy turn of events to say the least, my mother is more likely than not a racist. She doesn't like Ma-ri or Koshi because they're black" Namjoon answered. The room fell eerily silent as everyone's face contorted in disgust

"How..." Jungkook's sentence faltered as hse shook his head "Did she actually tell you that?"

"Yes, she did," Joon sighed. "I still can't believe it but it's the truth."

"What about your dad?" Taehyung asked

"He was just as shocked as we were. He was very happy to meet Ma-ri and I'm sure he would have been equally excited to meet Koshi had the bomb not gone off literally minutes before he arrived at their house"

"How are you feeling?" Jin asked, placing his hand on my thigh. I shrugged

"I'm okay... now that I've had time to process everything, I guess having all of my future in-laws like me would have been too good to be true, but I guess 11 out of 14 is still good" I replied, which made Yoongi twist his face up
