Soul Bond | BTS FF ✅️

Thirty

I remember running into the woods of the reservation when I was a young child. I was maybe 5 years old at the time, it was summer and I had those cheap purple jelly sandals on with my blue and white striped shorts and white sleeveless top. I remember the flower crown on my head was the one Tota made with me, I remember the breeze against my cheeks as I ran through that forest. I don't know what made me run that day, just a kid wanting to run I guess.
I could almost still smell the flowers and hear my mother's voice calling to me...

But when I open my eyes... there's only the moon shining down on me. I don't know what's happening, I just know I am unable to move, sitting in maybe a few inches of water. From the right side, a beautiful white wolf appears. Her eyes are icey blue and she seems to smile at me. To my left large wings expand as another creature flies in, a large white owl. His eyes are gentle, dark, but warm. The two animals look at one another and then look at me.
I still can't move, but they don't move either, other than the smile the wolf gives, and the soft coos of the owl.

Then comes the beeping.... beeping that seems to never end.


"Onacona, you mustn't." Tota's voice... I hear it and want to open my eyes to that name... the name I haven't heard in a long time.

"Why must I not? She's my daughter, Tota, neither you nor any chief can keep me from seeing her, she's not well. And I know you wouldn't have told me she was here anyway... I'm thankful for not being removed from her emergency contacts." The deep male voice, this voice was anxious and surprisingly worried.

"She might not want to see you Onacona, you have to wait to get her permission." Tota argued.

"I don't need permission to see my daughter, I paid my own way here, I wasn't flown over by the company she works for." He argued back.

"You have no say here, she has her soulmates and when they return, they will make sure you're escorted out!" Tota started to raise her voice. The two went back and forth until I heard the door open again.

"What's going on?" Namjoon's deep voice warmed me, followed by the sound of Yoongi, grumbling and Jungkook whispering near me.

"It's okay Noona, we're here." His voice was gentle and sweet. I felt a hand hold mine and wonder who it could be. I wanted to move, wanted to speak...

"Who are you?" Jin's voice drew my attention.

"I'm her father, and I have more right to be here than anyone. Leave me and my daughter, please." Onacona replied. I tried to speak... wanted to speak but couldn't.

"With all do respect, Sir, we're her soulmates, and we have more right to be here than even you." Namjoon responded. I wanted to smile, I wanted to wrap my arms around each of them and kiss them, tell them I love them so very much. But... I couldn't.

"Why you-"

"Alright, everyone out while I check on her." A light soft female voice broke through the loud voices of my biological disappointment and my loving soulmates. Everyone seemed to shut up and listen to her though, all I heard was shuffling of feet making their way further from me.
"You guys can stay.... but not all of you. Three of you can be here." She seemed to say to some of the people in the room, I wondered who she was talking to.

"Thank you, Jimin.. Kook, want to stay with Jin and look after her? I have some calls to make." Namjoon's voice made me feel at ease, my guys would be staying... sucks that all of them couldn't be in here with me though.

"We'll stay." I heard Jimin say.

"Okay, we're going to head to the gift shop and get her flowers and balloons or something." Hobi replied. Everyone seemed to leave but the three chosen to stay by my side. I felt two hands, one on either side of me hold my hands.

"This sucks..." Jungkook sighed.

"I know..." Jin seemed somber, I've never heard him like that.

"When we find out who did this.... I'm gonna... ugh, I want revenge, but all I can do is sue the shit out of that fucking moron!" Jimin growled in frustration.

"I know, I hope Namjoon can find out more. Trust me, all of us will make that person pay." Jin seemed to be trying to comfort Jimin.

"Namjoon is checking on the investigation, we will get justice. For right now, we should focus on Katsi, right?" Jungkook asked. The other too seemed to hum in agreement, it was quiet...
and I was pulled into the dark space again.
Sitting in water was becoming more annoying that the two animals who stood closer than before now- but they both appeared to be content with staring at me. I sighed, not really knowing what to do. I laid back, letting myself sink into the water. Apparently my mind was quite messed up... from a few inches of water to a whole damn deep lake, and I was sinking to the bottom.The water distorted in front of me and I could see my own body laying in the hospital bed... was I dying? Seemed a bit dramatic, it was a car accident but I didn't think it had been that bad.

"Any word?" Jimin asked as Jin and Jungkook left the room and Yoongi and Namjoon entered.

"They're still investigating, but they're sure it was the woman's fault." Yoongi replied.

 "Minyoung... apparently is the one who crashed into Katsi's car." Namjoon added.

"A Saesang?" Jimin asked.

"Yes, but an international one. The woman calls herself Minyoung, but it's not her actual name. She's been coming here to South Korea for a few years now. She's very much obsessed, and she's been posing as someone working in the industry. She's also in her late 50's and seems to mentally think she's only in her 20's." Namjoon added.
"But they're looking more into it, the investigators and our people were notified by a family member of hers."

"So, some older crazy woman just gets to slam their car into our Katsi.. and she's fine? This woman wasn't hurt?" Jimin asked, a little annoyed.

"She drove off, but according to one of the officers, she did go to another hospital. She only had a few bumps and bruises though. Nothing major." Yoongi sighed. "She's lucky... I think Hobi would have strangled her if she had been submitted here."

"You should have heard him on the way to get some coffee... I was on the phone with Bang and he asking what's being done, who did it, where are they, how long is it going to take to send them to jail, and how come South Korea doesn't have an express death sentence system." Namjoon responded.

 "Jesus... if it were up to him, that woman would be in an electric chair." Yoongi chuckled a little.

 "Can't say I blame him...." Jimin replied.

 "Come on now, we can't think like that." Namjoon tried to reason. "Why not, the bitch could have killed Katsi, don't you care?" Jimin asked, sounding irritated at the lack of emotion Namjoon was apparently showing.

"Of course I care. She's my soulmate too." Namjoon defended.

"Well then maybe act like it? Everyone else has been pissed, but you..." Jimin's voice sounded uneven.

"Jimin..." Yoongi warned.

 "No! Admit it, he's been all silent and calm.... did you even want a soulmate?" Jimin asked, clearly growing more annoyed and aggravated.

"What the fuck kind of question is that, Jimin?" Namjoon asked back.

"The kind of question your shady ass is dodging for unknown reasons! Maybe if you weren't so calm and collected... maybe if you just would have had her come to work with us and stay till we leave, then we could have protected her. But you don't want her around the company much huh? Why is that? Huh?" Jimin was pissed... his tone clearly expresses that. I could hear stomping footsteps and I could hear Yoongi trying to defuse the situation... but I think.... I think Jimin punched Namjoon.
There was another thud sound, and I hated that my eyes wouldn't open... two of my soulmates were losing focus and fighting each other instead of caring for one another. I don't know what happened... but a door opened, footsteps and a door closed, then there was silence, and suddenly I could only feel warm lips on my forehead. I felt the worry from the person who kissed my forehead, the eagerness to hold me, and the desire to see me smile.
I had felt it from the others too who had been in the room, but this was more intense, maybe because this person had made skin to skin contact? I didn't know the answer here, but after a few more minutes my lips felt a gentle warm tingle. Lips were against mine. And as quickly as it happened, they were gone and I could hear footsteps and the door opening then closing again.Nothing came after that, just darkness and silence. Then... a blurry bright light.

 "Katsi?" I heard a gasp, my vision was blurry but I was starting to make out shapes. A hand wrapped around mine and I could make out a single person there...
"You need anything? Tell me.. I'll call the nurse." Arlene's voice and figure became more clear. I reached my free hand up to my face and tried to rub my eyes one at a time, hoping that would help the blurry vision. After a few rubs and a couple of blinks, my eyes focused and things became clear. White walls.. a tiled ceiling. The annoying beeping and the slight pain in my ankle made me look around more. The machines were going, I was hooked to an IV, and my foot was propped up.

"Wha..." My voice was scratchy. Arlene released my hand and hurried over to the other side of the hospital bed to the movable table where a small bottle of water was sitting. She grabbed it and opened it for me, handing me the bottle. My hands were a little shaky, but I took the bottle and brought it to my lips, tilting it slightly to drink.

"I'm going to press the nurse button for you, let her and the doctor know you're awake now." Arlene said as she reached for the call button and pressed it.
