Soulmates in Disguise

Just for tonight (18+)

Ria jolted awake, her head throbbing from the previous night's indulgence. She glanced at her phone and saw that she was already running late. With a groan, she rushed through a quick freshening up routine.

As she hurried to the dining area, the smell of breakfast greeted her. Tae had prepared a spread and left a note on the table: "I will inform the management about your delay. Don't forget the hangover soup babe. - Tae."

Ria smiled, feeling grateful for his thoughtful gesture. She devoured the breakfast and sipped the hangover soup, which helped clear the fog in her head. Once she was satisfied, she grabbed her things and dashed out the door, determined to make up for lost time as she headed to BigHit.

As Ria walked into BigHit, she grabbed a coffee and made her way to her office. She greeted Moni with a warm smile, "Good morning, Moni!"

Moni looked up and returned the smile, though there was a hint of redness in her cheeks. "Morning, Ria. How are you feeling today?"

"Much better, thanks," Ria replied, noticing Moni's being distracted. "You seem a bit distracted. Everything okay?"

Moni nodded quickly. "Of course, just a bit preoccupied."

As they continued working, Jimin walked in, a playful grin on his face. "Hey, Ria. Do you mind if I borrow my Moni for a bit?"

Ria raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Your Moni?"

Jimin winked at Moni, his grin widening. "Aren't you with me, Moni?"

Moni blushed furiously and nodded.

Ria's eyes widened in surprise. "What's going on between you two?"

Jimin sighed theatrically. "Nothing much. We're just friends."

Moni quickly added, "Jimin, it's really late for the shoot. We should go."

"Okay, Moni," Jimin said, glancing at Ria. "See you later, Ria."

Moni waved goodbye as she followed Jimin, leaving Ria with a curious smile.

As Moni sat beside Jimin in the car, her eyes closed as her thoughts drifted back to the previous night, the memories as sharp and vivid as if they were happening all over again. After the party, when Jimin had escorted her home, the tension had been palpable. Her ex-boyfriend had been waiting outside her building, his expression twisted with unresolved anger and jealousy. Jimin had known immediately what was happening-he had helped Moni end things with her ex, but now the man was back, looking for trouble.

Without hesitation, Jimin had stepped in front of Moni, his protective instincts flaring to life. The confrontation had been brief but intense, Jimin's words cold and cutting as he warned the other man to stay away. Moni had watched, her heart pounding not just with fear, but with something that ignited within her as she saw the possessiveness in Jimin's eyes.

Once they were inside, the air between them was thick with unspoken tension, a current of electricity that neither could ignore. Moni turned to Jimin, closing the distance between them, her lips crashing against his with a desperation that left no room for hesitation. The kiss was wild, unrestrained, a release of the pent-up emotions that had been building between them for months. Jimin responded in kind, his hands gripping her waist with a force that sent a thrill of pleasure through her body.

His touch was like fire, burning through the thin fabric of her dress as his hands roamed freely, exploring every curve, every dip of her body. He pushed her back against the wall, the impact making her gasp, her body arching into his as his lips moved from her mouth to her neck, biting and sucking in a way that sent shivers down her spine.
