Attraction

Part Forty

Seokjin didn't know what was happening to them.

After Aila and Brian left, a tension rose between them.

If he's been honest he didn't know how to feel. Not remembering how one of his soulmates treated the bond as a joke was a blessing, but it was still just as painful knowing of it.

She just made the bond happen? Like nothing? Did those feelings not matter? It was the fucking bonding process! And all of them were able to actually feel it happening? And she still managed to move his feelings around like cheap chess pieces? How heartless was she?

He was hurt, his heart was in pain and none of this other soulmates, especially Yoongi and Hoseok, seemed to relate to how deep his emotions were.

He was angry.

Because he knew he was so blinded by her, that even when she told them the truth, he ignored it and fell.

And he knew he fell deep.

He's already starting to feel himself fall for her and it's just been about two weeks.

He can't imagine being open with her for a whole month. This would have been enough for him to fall in love with her. Which is probably why she used him.

A fucking easy target.

Seokjin could tell Taehyung and Jungkook were also having a hard time. They also got played with.

So this tension began to separate them.

Yoongi and Hoseok acted just fine, and more with each other.

Namjoon kept to himself and so did Taehyung and Jungkook, but together.

Jimin tried to talk to Seokjin but Seokjin didn't want the pity from his soulmates, so he pushed him and the others away.

The tension only grew in Busan.

Seokjin mentioned they needed to leave, go back to Seoul and get their feelings straight about the whole situation but Yoongi, Hoseok and Jimin didn't want to because of the kids.

Taehyung hesitated a little, for he had also gotten very attached to Kcire and Iletsi.

And that broke Seokjin down even more. He's supposed to be first to any of them. He understood the attachment to them, because he feels himself realize how beautiful their family would have been,

But Kcire and Iletsi are NOT their kids, as hard as it's on them, or as hard as their feelings have grown for them, THEY ARE NOT THEIRS.

And that's when Seokjin reminded the rest those two kids have nothing to do with them and would never be theirs, because they are fathered by another man, a man that clearly is trying to get his family back.

Seokjin wanted to take his words back when he saw the hurt flash in all his soulmates' eyes, but he didn't. He walked out the room and has kept to himself since they felt Daegu to Busan.

So three days of pretending everything was fine between them.

Three days where he saw his soulmates grow more and more distant between themselves.

Something he didn't think it was possible. All those years of being together brought under a microscope for this.

Was this really going to break them apart?

However Seokjin was great at pretending, especially going around Busan.

He needed to.

He couldn't show how desperate he was feeling.

He couldn't show how Adrian coming to Busan destroyed him and how jealous he felt at how big Kcire and Iletsi smiled at him.

He wanted to go up to his soulmates and tell them 'I told you so' but he didn't. Every time they made eye contact, Seokjin felt the understanding pass through them.

And then it was the way Adrian began to get close to Aila.

He was sure they talked things out. All seven of them figured it out because the tension between them disappeared and they were back to being a happy family.

And Seokjin had to pretend for three days his heart wasn't breaking in front any of them.
