The Only One For Them (A BTS Soulmate AU)

Chapter 24

The weather couldn't be more perfect for traveling to the airport. It was early morning and somewhat cool outside for summer. With the airport and plane likely being cold as well, it's probably smart for the soulmates to dress comfortably with maybe a light jacket or something that has sleeves at least.

Ari was sure to wake up earlier than the rest of the house because she needed to be sure she was not only dressed, but that her hair was exactly how she wanted it. She never cared too much about her hair at the airports in America because she'd get on with a bonnet in a heartbeat. Choosing between that and people reaching to touch it to 'see if it's really her's' was a no brainer.

Now it's different though. Her face is more known than before, and she'll be with her soulmates as thousands of pictures are taken of them.

And she will NOT be caught slipping.

Without any sudden moves, she slid slowly away from Yoongi. That man had his own alarm set, so waking him up now was absolutely out of question.

Safely sliding to the floor, she froze when he shifted. Worse case, she'll just smile and coo him back to sleep. A millisecond later his soft snores are heard as she backs into the bathroom, closing the door softly.

When the water is to her liking, she hops in gladly letting her body wake up. She bathed with her loofa and back brush (because our backs deserve attention too), before starting on her deep conditioned hair. It sat in her hair the whole night, letting the rosemary and lemongrass oils tingle her scalp. Last night, Jin asked her why she had to leave it in so long. All Ari could say was that aside from it being the best treatment for her hair type, it gave amazing results and that he'd see it soon. It was too late for a lecture that she was sure Jimin would give him since he's been so enthralled in her styling process.

Once her hair was completely rinsed, she got out of the shower to quickly dry off and wrap the towel around herself. She brushed her teeth and did her full body skin care routine before turning back to her beautiful mess of curls. Ari applied leave-in conditioner to her whole head before working it in to small sections.

Each section received great attention, starting with a curling custard followed by a foaming mousse. After the mousse, she used her pattern brush within the smaller sections going outward. By the time she was finishing the front, a sluggish Yoongi walked in.

"Good morning gorgeous." He kissed her cheek with his toothbrush in hand.

"Good morning Papi." She winked and handed him the toothpaste, making him deeply chuckle.  "Did you sleep well?"

"Next to you? Always. Doesn't mean I'm not tired though. At least we can sleep on the plane." He spoke through brushing his teeth.

"True. It's like 14-16 hours, I really want each one of you to get as much rest as possible."

"Whatever you want baby, I'm going to sleep anyway."

"That's what I like to hear." She smiled before turning on the diffuser. Yoongi grinned before rinsing his mouth and using mouthwash. He finished up quickly cleaning the sink and got in the shower.

In all of 6 minutes, he had a towel wrapped around his waist ready to get dressed. When he walked in the room, Ari was completing her look with a pair of white shades and a white purse. She dawned a large peanut and saddle brown mixed two piece with the word GRAND stitched in white on the top and bottoms. Draped over her shoulders was a mustard brown sweater. Her socks matched the two piece perfectly, and the fuzzy brown slippers made her comfortable.
