Song of the soul

A knock on the front door and I hurriedly put on my shoes before opening it with a silly grin plastered on my face. My twin sighs from the porch as he finds me struggling to gather my stuff with a toast in my mouth while Namjoon chuckles behind him.

The both of them are used to it after all this time. It doesn't happen often, but it's also not that rare that I'll wake up late and do everything in fast forward. Such as this morning, which is a result of my bad habit.

Once I've managed to grab everything, Jungkook closes the door behind me and grabs my keys from between my fingers to lock it while Namjoon takes pity on me, bags taken from my loaded arms so I can eat properly.

"Thanks, Joonie" I mutter with a bashful grin, I was starting to get a mess on my chin with the melted peanut butter. There was a hole in my bread so I know the spread is just slipping in there and making a run for it.

Jungkook joins us after making sure my door is properly locked, then sighs when he sees me in my current state. Dishevelled and eyes still full of sleep.

"Goodness, bubs, look at you" he chides as he wipes my chin with a tissue before moving onto my hair and clothes, his tongue peeking out as he focuses on his task while I simply grin in contentment. His soulmate gazes at us with an eye smile, we still have some time so we're not really in a hurry right now.

"My alarm failed me this morning" I explain as he steps back with a satisfied nod, "I tried to do everything in speed three but you know how it goes when I do that".

"Don't lie to me, Y/N. You forgot to activate it before going to bed yesterday, I know you by heart. Let's go, I hate being late to the shop and we have plenty of things to do today, you remember that, don't you? We also need to arrange the flowers so they'll be fine for the weekend" my dear brother stresses over each tasks that await us as he pulls me towards the car, back door opened for me before he goes over to the driver's seat while Namjoon takes the passenger's seat.

I lick my fingers clean once done with my toast and wipe them on my skirt, after which I pull on my safety belt to click it shut.

"I know, Guggie, no need to be so nervous about it. We've done this for years now, we'll be fine" I speak with assurance before thanking Namjoon when he transfers my bags to the back seat, after which he slides a hand over Jungkook's thigh in a comforting manner.

"She's right, baby. Take a deep breath. We're not new to this, we'll be fine" he soothes his soulmate who sighs before nodding, a hand patting Namjoon's before he turns on the engine, which awakens with a weary rumble.

"Yeah... sorry, you two. I'm just so nervous, our parents are coming over tonight so we can spend our birthday tomorrow together and we haven't seen them in forever. I just hope we can finish as early as I have in mind so I can clean the house. I didn't even prepare the room they'll be staying in. What if they get here sooner than they said?"

"Jungkook, it's fine!" I insist with a deep sigh, "they can always stay at my place if needed. We literally live right next to each other, it's not like they can't go and knock on your door to see you at any given time" I tell him as the car gets moving, though my words only make him huff before he finally relents.

"Yeah, okay, that's true, but I still don't get it. You didn't want to stay with Namjoon and I, but you also didn't want to be too far away. What's even the point of you living in a separate unit when we're always together? We live in the same building, it's a waste of money. I still believe you should move in with us, do you even eat properly when you're alone?"

He begins to rant as he does most of the time, his voice a grumble of nerves and displeasure. I grin before shrugging, eyes turning to the beautiful town that always makes me feel like I'm in a dream.
