The 8 Soulmates (BTS poly ot7xy/n)

시작 Chapter 08

"Yah don't overwhelm her!" Yoongi chided the younger boys as they all exited out of the car. Jin, Namjoon, and Hoseok carrying the groceries. Hoseok having to convince Y/n they didn't need her help, but once she started unconsciously pouting he caved and gave her a light bag of snacks to carry.
Hoseok could've sworn he died and went to heaven when Y/n gave him a bright smile and walked off beside Yoongi as they all headed in.

The three youngest soulmates immediately went to her sides, almost crowding her as they ached for any sort of loving comfort from Y/n.
They were ecstatic that they were so close to completing their bond and one was filled with pride that he had been so confident in Y/n being their soulmate since they'd met. Taehyung was practically glowing.

With all of the sudden attention Y/n held Yoongi's hand tighter and leaned into him slightly, not realizing she was doing any of this. She was still scared of being rejected even if they were kinda friends already. She was also scared of messing up, sure waiting for her soulmates made all of this that much more special, but it also meant Y/n knew nothing about relationships aside from what she'd watched on tv shows or read in books.

"Aish. Calm down you three, we'll have plenty of time to talk inside." This time Jin chimed in, shoving a few bags into Jimin's hand as they made it inside the elevator.

"Sorry Hyung..." Jimin said, readjusting his hold on the bags to also hold Jin's now free hand with his.
"We're just excited-" Jungkook managed to say leaning onto Namjoon while the elevator started up.
"We can have a complete bond finally Hyung!" Taehyung spat out excitedly. He was practically bouncing off the walls, and as much as Jin and the others understood, they knew it wasn't going to be as easy as Taehyung was thinking.

"Um.. how uh.." Y/n tried to ask in Korean but suddenly she couldn't put together the words she needed. Her shoulders visibly sagged and she looked to Namjoon who was across from her in the elevator.
"How do you complete a soulmate bond..?"
She managed to get the words out, and as most of the others weren't the best in English they only managed to understand soulmate bond and were confused.

"Ah.. there are two steps actually.. to completing the bond.." Namjoon stated. The others clicking into her question.
"What do you know about soulmates Y/n?" Hoseok asked. She could tell by his tone and soft look it wasn't meant to be rude, he seemed genuinely curious in wanting to help her understand more.

The elevator came to a stop and everyone walked out, piling into Jimin's apartment.
"Uh I know that.." y/n had to stop and think for a second. What did she know about soulmates? Aside from the fact she wanted to meet hers, she didn't really remember learning much about the bond. She thought that once they saw her tattoo they would confront her and she'd meet them that way..
"Um I know that rejected soulmates get depressed.. sick .. and cast aside by society for not being good enough-.." she had to cut herself off as they all settled onto the couch once they put the groceries on the counter. She really only remembered studying about rejection if she was honest with herself. The groceries could wait to be put away for a few minutes to finish this conversation.

Y/n sat beside and cuddled into Yoongi more, suddenly feeling stupid for not knowing anything about soulmate bonds. Namjoon and Jungkook sat on the left sofa, Jin, Jimin and Taehyung sat on the right one; and in the middle on the opposite side to Y/n sat Hoseok.
"We don't plan - we never planned on rejecting you Y/n." Hoseok said, trying to comfort her as best as he could. He rested his hand on her knee and slowly rubbed circles.

She didn't respond just nodded slightly, refusing to meet anyone's gaze. "I know to complete a bond you have to kiss right?" Y/n looked to Jin for confirmation.

He nodded. "That's one step, a fully complete bond happens when two soulmates are completely comfortable with each-other. Most times it happens at the same time that they kiss, sometimes it happens before they do." Y/n nodded.
"How can you tell?" She asked.
