"So how are things?" Renjun plopped down on the couch next to Jisung startling the younger boy who had been zoning out. Jisung let out a gentle sigh as Renjun smiled happily at Jisung. "How's Naerin?"

"Why do you care?" Jisung asked, confused about why Renjun was suddenly curious about Jisung's soulmate.

"I mean, you've known her for what? Two months now?" Renjun shrugged, "It would be nice to meet her,"

Jisung gave Renjun a look, "Hyung," Jisung said, "No,"

"What?" Renjun frowned and snuggled in closer to Jisung, "Why? I wanna meet your soulmate!"

Jisung groaned and pushed Renjun away, but the older boy just grabbed onto Jisung harder. From where they sat on the smaller couch, Jaemin and Jeno laughed at their playful banter and Renjun's aggressive love.

"Let go!" Jisung grumbled.

"Let me meet your soulmate!" Renjun replied.

After being strangled by Renjun for another few minutes, Jisung thankfully was released from his hold when there was a knock on the front door. The doorbell rang right after it and Jaemin got up to go get the door. Renjun released Jisung from his hold and Jisung quickly shot to his feet to get away from him.

"You should let us meet her," Jeno said once Jisung from free from Renjun.

Jisung sighed gently as he took Jaemin's previous seat next to Jeno. He knew his members were eager to meet Naerin, but there was still a part of him that wanted to keep her a secret. As nice as it was being in Naerin's company, Jisung knew that the more time he spent with her the closer they would become. In the back of his mind, it scared him a bit. She was one of the first people outside of his members and company that he had gotten close with. He didn't want things to change.

"Maybe," Jisung said.

"What are we talking about?" Chenle asked as he stepped into the dreamies' dorm.

"Jisung doesn't want us to meet his soulmate," Renjun replied as Jaemin took a seat next to him.

Chenle glanced at Jisung before shrugging and plopping down on the couch as well. "He's just scared,"

"No, I'm not," Jisung rolled his eyes, "What is there to be scared of?"

"You're scared that you're going to get attached to her," Chenle said, "You know that if you get closer to your soulmate then you're going to have to tell the company and then announce it to the public,"

"That's not true," Jisung rolled his eyes, "I'm worried that you guys are going to scare her off and she'll never spend time with me again,"

The boys all burst out laughing at Jisung's comment and Jaemin, with a bright smile, stood up and patted Jisung on the back.

"You're meeting her today, right?" Jaemin asked, "I'll take you,"

Jisung nodded his head gently and went to go gather his things. Still laughing, his members all teased Jisung as they watched him leave the living room. When Jisung came out of his room, Jaemin was already standing by the door putting his shoes on.

Jisung was thankful that Jaemin didn't say anything to him on the drive over. He didn't want to hear Jaemin try and convince him to invite Naerin over. If Jisung wanted to invite Naerin over, he would do it on his own time. The two boys just listened to the music playing on the radio as Jaemin drove Jisung to the small cafe where he and Naerin would be meeting at.   

When they got there, Jisung hopped out of the car after saying goodbye to Jaemin and had expected the older boy to leave. Instead, Jaemin turned off the car and started to make his way to the cafe as well. Jisung gave Jaemin a wide-eyed stare that Jaemin just shrugged off.
