Break The Distance

8

You're not sure how long the two of you got to cuddle before Han's fellow idols burst into the room with the help of a flustered staff member. They're understandably worried about him because he had to leave the stage, and when they found out about the run-in with sasaengs, they hounded every staff member they could find. The boys seem to freeze in the doorway when they see Han with you. You press a finger to your lips, hoping they can stay quiet because Han fell asleep after the stress of the day.

You point to the card on the table by the door and Minho snatches it before anyone else can, reading it quickly. Of course, you already know it's from JYPE, and JYP himself congratulates you two for being able to reunite as soulmates on said card. You think it also explains how you had to pass their tests before you were allowed to see Han and includes an apology for hiding information but you're not sure- it's meant for Han as you already know everything. The card is passed around as the boys try to stay quiet. It lasts all of 30 seconds before one of them yells in surprise, waking your soulmate.

He jumps at the sudden noise, his head hitting your chin as he tries to scramble and move. Your teeth click uncomfortably and your chin throbs slightly but you're more concerned if Han is hurt.

"Are you okay, Ji?" You ask, reaching a hand out to rub his head softly where he hit your chin.

Han lets out a small yelp before getting distracted by his members standing just inside the room. They went silent when Han moved and you almost laugh at how comical it is since they're still frozen, and your soulmate looks like a deer in headlights.

"So... Guess we found out about the company's secret program to keep soulmates together," Chan chuckles sheepishly, breaking the silence.

"Wait, aren't you the bodyguard that tackled that guy and disappeared earlier?"

"Ah, Jisung hyung has such a cool soulmate!"

"His soulmate is a bodyguard?"

"Did they have to train you before hiring you or...?"

"Wouldn't it be easier to become a makeup artist or something?"

"We finally meet the elusive soulmate that Jisung is always talking to! He never lets us talk on the calls or say hi or anything."

You watch Han as he processes everyone's chatter, you hope they don't stress him out, but he does live with them, so he'll probably be fine. He looks at you, cheeks red and puffed up which looks pretty cute to you. You adjust your grip around his waist- which is the only thing keeping him from falling off the couch with how he's leaning away like he's pretending you two weren't just cuddling. You can't help but choke back a giggle as Han puffs up his cheeks more in embarrassment, and he gives up on trying to distance himself from you.

Except his solution is to slam his face into your front and hit your collarbone as he starts berating his members. Which isn't intimidating at all because Han's gripping your shirt tightly and hiding his face.

"Get out. I don't want to share my soulmate right now and if she answers your questions, it'll be later," he groans into your shirt.

"Hannie, we have to leave the venue. We were supposed to be in the van 5 minutes ago."

"Wait, really?"

"Nooo," Han pouts.

You pull Han into your lap fully so his legs are on either side of your hips before getting up while holding him. The chatter from the 7 boys crowding by the door gets louder, and you set Han down on the arm of the couch to grab your security jacket and mask. You make sure the vest under your shirt is good before swiftly making sure your equipment is ready from your jacket to your radio to a hat and face mask. You can feel your ears burning at the boys talking about your muscles, but your mask covers most of the redness.
