Marked Souls

25-My Heart Skipped a Beat.

Namjoon POV

Y/N walks out in the dress. Her long hair was down with soft curls with light makeup that shows her natural beauty. I seem to forget how to breathe, little alone talk.

"Joonie?"

"Beautiful." is all I can say

She giggles, snapping me out of the daze she seems to put me in.

"Thank you, you look so handsome." She walks up and fixes my collar. Her smell fills me and all I want to do is kiss her. This is going to be a tough weekend but hopefully, by the end of it we will be moving towards Bonding. I put my arm out to her and she fits perfectly.

We walked down the private halls, this is why I picked this place for privacy, and down the elevator to the car waiting at the private entrance.

Once in the car she leaned into me being careful not to have skin touch but more comfortable than I have seen her.  A quiet came over us but it was not awkward but somewhat peaceful. I have been so busy with the comeback and handling my leadership role that it was nice just to relax a little bit. I looked down at her as she stared out the window at the city as it flew by.

We pulled up to our destination. The door opens and I help her out and walk to the elevator, still enjoying the quiet. I reach out and grab her gloved hand. She looks up at me and the connection pulls me.

"Joonie, where are we?" she asks

"You will see" I smile. I'm so excited to share this with her.

The elevator opens and an art exhibit I had wanted to see was before us.

"Joonie." she gasp, turning to me "This was the art exhibit you were talking about the other day."

"Yep, I arranged a private viewing for us."

She looked up at me "Lead the way." gesturing with her hand.

Y/N POV

The Art exhibit was terrific. Joonie pulled me around looking and making comments about some of his favorites. He explained the different styles in detail.

Then he stopped and shyly rubbed his hands on his face.

"I am talking too much."

I smile our eyes connecting "No you're not I love seeing you like this, your passion for the things you love is beautiful I could listen to you talk all day." I blush at the honesty in my words.

After an hour or so we came to a stop at the door that opened out to a beautiful balcony with a romantic dinner set up.

"Oh Joonie, this is beautiful."

Namjoon POV

We walk up to our table and the waiter goes to pull out the chair for her and I wave him off. Pulling the chair out for her. Our dinner was full of great conversation and food. She asked all kinds of questions about my family.

"She was so upset that she ran to Eomma and ratted me out." I shook my head at the memory of the time I had hidden my sister's favorite doll.

She laughed, "Well I don't blame her, I would have done the same thing. I like her" then quietly added "I hope they like me."

"They will." I say reassuring. "I come from a long line of soulmarked Men this is a big occasion when we find our soulmates we usually have a party with all the family and friends but because this is an unusual situation it is only going to my eomma appa and sister." 

"I know my family is the same, it's just I want them to like me for me, not because of the soulmark that tells them to."

I reached out and grabbed her hand. "They will." I reassure her, and that seems to settle her.

"Namjoon." she says quietly capturing all of my attention. "I don't want to wait to bond."

And my heart skipped a beat I take a deep breath "I don't want to wait either."

"So how would this work? My dad said that it is difficult if not impossible to be away from your soulmate in the first three months after bonding" she states

"Yes that is true we could wait until I get back from this comeback tour and then bond. but what about school? Did you want to keep your apartment and continue working?"

"I've been thinking about all of that and keep coming up short. I could finish school online and my parents have that cost covered. I wouldn't be able to work at least for the first three months but then the Bonding Act will provide me the percentage of income but that's not enough to keep my apartment." She shakes her head.

"Move in with me. I know there is a lot more we need to figure out but if we don't start moving forward there is always going to be something holding us back." I state nervously

Her cheeks blushed "Move in with you don't you share a room with Tae?" She asks

"Well maybe it's time I leave the dorm and I find my own place with you."

"What?!?" she seems startled but the thought "Can you do that? I mean you are a grown man but....What about BTS?"

"Nothing would change I would still have my bed in the dorms as it is a part of our contract but there is nothing that prevents me from having an apartment apart from the group. There would be nights that I would stay over there out of convenience. I would like to find a place close by so I can be there in as little time as possible but I would love to have a place to call our own." I look up realizing I had just rambled out a lot.   

I look up to see her smiling "You have been thinking about this."

"Of course, I am serious about making this work."

"Me too but what about your career what does Bighit have to say about this? I would never want to mess with your career"

"I have a meeting on Monday with them to discuss next steps." I smile

She looks at me and connections throbs, sparking to life in a different way than I have felt before. "Ok I will move in with you."
