Baby, I Got Your Number (BTS OT7 Soulmate AU)

Chapter Twenty Three: Nah. I Don't Think That I Will.

*******Jimin's POV*******

I stared across the small table at the woman sitting in front of me and my soulmate. Okay...so apparently she was Yoongi's soulmate, too. It wasn't her fault, but it was bugging the hell out of me. Yoongi is mine. His number is on my wrist. My number is on his ring finger.

But so is hers.

What does this mean? Is she only his soulmate? Is she mine? She doesn't even have a mark, so that's no help at all. Is it just Yoongi who has dual soulmates? Would I be able to handle sharing him with her? Would he give me a choice? Would he choose her over me if I said no?

Yoongi reached for my hand and turned towards me. "I can see your brain running from here, Jiminie. Please calm down. We'll figure this out."

I smiled at him and squeezed his hand, then I looked at Mandy. "Ummm...can I ask a question?"

"You can if you'll relax," Mandy told me. She was smiling, so she didn't mean it in a mean way. "Please. I'm not going to bite you, Jimin, and I'm not here to steal your soulmate, either."

"I was just wondering if you would mind explaining the demisexual thing to me," I told her. "I want to understand and not make you uncomfortable, and I'm sure that Yoongi wants the same thing." I looked over at him and he was nodding his head.

I knew my soulmate. There were often things that I knew he wanted to say, but wouldn't, so I'd say them for him. It annoyed him sometimes, but I don't think that this was one of those times. 

She sat back and ran a hand through her hair. It was silver, but had a lavender undertone. Or maybe it was an overtone. I couldn't really remember the difference at this point, but the color was pretty. It looked good on her. It suited her. I should probably tell her later.

"To put it simply...I am not attracted to people unless I feel some sort of emotional attachment," She said. "You're both cute, I can admit that. But I wouldn't feel the need to uhh...do anything. Unless we formed some sort of emotional bond."

Yoongi cocked his head to the side. "That's...kind of awesome, actually. Too many people jump right into sex, not caring to even get to know the person first. It can really mess things up."

"I take it that you guys are sleeping together?" She asked, and we looked at each other before we both nodded.

"We found out that we were soulmates six years ago," Yoongi told her. "But we didn't just jump right into things. It took us a while to even accept it. We were like brothers at that point. I loved him like a little brother, but I still..... Before his mark showed up, I actually felt guilty because of the thoughts that I had in my head about him. And after, it was hard to accept. For both of us. It took us a while."

"Six years ago?" Mandy asked. "So Jimin, you're older?"

I shook my head. "No. I'm not. Yoongi got both of his marks on his 24th birthday, like you're supposed to. I got mine on my 20th. We didn't really care to figure out why. But I had the 13 tattooed on my 24th."

"I like the 13 tattoo," she said with a smile. "It's cute. It's a nice way to show the world without them knowing."

"Mandy...I don't know how to put this, but...Do you even want to try?" I ask her, then I motion to Yoongi. "He's your soulmate, but there's nothing saying that you have to be with him."

"How do we know that he's my soulmate, though?" She asked. "Sure, my old number is on his finger, but I don't have any mark at all. Not even a hint of one, like yours, Jimin. What does that even mean?"

I shook my head. "I really don't know, Mandy. I wish I had the answers, but I'm just as confused as you are."

I reached out to cover her hand with mine, wanting to comfort her, but before I could even touch her, she tugged her arm back violently, like she'd been burned. I frowned, which turned into a pout as I pulled my hand back. What did I do wrong? I was just trying to help. I pulled my hand out of Yoongi's and curled into myself on the chair a little.
