Bound by Fate

New beginnings

The rest of the afternoon was a repeat of the previous day. They ordered lunch and again, Yoongi insisted to pay. They did talk a little more than yesterday, but still, a large part of the time was spent in silence. Jae knew her soulmate was a man of few words, but whenever and whatever he spoke sure made up for his silence.

It was around 3 in the afternoon when Yoongi raised his head from his phone where he seemed to be working on something single-handedly.

"Didn't you have packing to do?"

Jae was startled at his raspy voice right beside her ear. He was a little taller than her and that led to his lips almost brushing her ears when he turned to look at her. She had been scrolling social media to pass some time and give her soulmate the privacy and space he needed.

"Wh–Ahh ye. I do need to do that."

"Will you be able to pack before 7? I can ask Sejin hyung to..."

"No, no. I think it's fine. My mom and my sister must have started packing already. We'll be done before 7 if I go now. Is that–"

Jae paused, she was feeling fine with about 4 hours of healing time again. And she was sure that she could go until bedtime with whatever amount of charge she had. She hadn't even felt tired when she went to bed really late last night. But Yoongi had seemed in a little worse condition than her when she had arrived in the morning. Or was it just because he was sleepy? Jae didn't want to leave him aching and starving again just so she could go pack.

"I am fine." He said automatically and Jae wondered if he was telling the truth but nodded. He squeezed her hand and stood up, pulling her with him.

"You should go, I know it must be hard for you to shift. So take your time. You can make the van wait if you need to." Jae smiled and shook her head.

"Aniya, there's no need for that. I think Eomma and Eonnie must have packed half of the stuff by now. They are far more efficient in these things than I am."

Yoongi just smiled at her and nodded in acknowledgment.

"Do you want to take this? I think it's too old and you should stop wearing it. Look, it even has a tiny hole in the sleeve." Hyeri held up a shirt and inspected it as if she were inspecting a dead fish. They were packing Jae's stuff and her entire closet was spread out on the bed.

"I wanted to take it with me. It's really soft and comfy. But you are right, in a house full of people who wear top-class branded clothes, it would look too shaggy."

"It's not about how it looks Jae, it's literally 7 years old. It has far surpassed its usability and durability period." Jae pouted at her sister and continued sorting out her huge closet. She had a habit of keeping her clothes well-maintained. This had resulted in heaps of good clothing which almost dated back to her teenage years. Many of them didn't even fit her now and her mother and sister had done a good job of weeding out those clothes before she came home. They had about an hour to go before the van Sejin-ssi had kindly offered would arrive and even though almost all of her clothes were packed, they still had to pack her toiletries and other stuff.

"Do you wanna take your pillow or something?" Jae's mother asked and Jae paused in the middle of chaining up her 3rd and last bag of clothes.

"Should I take one?" She wondered and Hyeri froze as a thought struck her.

"Fuck Jae, you are going to sleep with a member of BTS. You are going to fucking sleep in the bed of Min freaking Yoongi." Their mother cringed while Jae's eyes widened. She hadn't thought of it at all. It had been more than 24 hours since she had met her soulmate and she was realizing only now that she was going to have to share a bed. With him. Min Suga of BTS. Min Yoongi. Fucking AGUSTD.
