Idiot Soulmates

Chapter 1

"This was a bad idea." Soobin mutters to himself as he walks around the convention center, head ducked with hat pulled low over his hair. "This is a Beomgyu idea. Why am I doing this? Why did I think that today was the day to test the universe?" He ducks around another corner, his movement getting more than a few raised eyebrows.

He turns another corner still trying to take in the convention center while trying not to draw any attention to himself. He just wanted to see what the fans were seeing. An itch under his skin telling him to walk around. Nothing he would of every dreamed of doing on a normal day, but apparently today wasn't normal. He'd gotten Beomgyu to distract the managers, an all too willing accomplice to the chaos this would cause. Their demon of a group mate doing something with a hair straightener and a bag of popcorn that had everyone scrambling around the room while he laughed. Soobin's request to dip out into the hallway being waved off as the managers, unfortunately, were more focused on the literal fire they were having to put out this time.

He knew he shouldn't have snuck out. God. What kind of example was he setting as a leader? Beomgyu was going to be even more of a terror than normal. Not to mention Kai and Tae. Those two would use this as an excuse to get away with their own half-baked ideas now. And Yeonjun.... Jesus... Yeonjun was going to do that awful brow raise and smirk that only meant Soobin would never hear the end of this. The stupidity of his decision to ditch his security and walk around Kcon unchaperoned. Like honestly, was there a worse place he could have decided to give it to his unhinged impulses.

He rounds another corner, head turned to look over his shoulder and not seeing the pack of young women until he's bowling into one. They both go tumbling to the floor. His hat going flying in the tumble. He bows quickly, hands trying to scramble for the small bit of fabric.

The woman who'd followed him to the ground starts rapidly apologizing, "Oh my god. I'm so sorry. I didn't see you. Too many blind corners in this place. Are you okay?" She reaches a hand out to him, trying to check him over for injuries.

He turns to look at her an, "I'm fine." Right on the edge of his lips, but it never makes it past his teeth. He watches her eyes widen in recognition. The rest of her group of friends still chattering around them.

His shoulders hunch up as she exclaims, her voice so loud that it echoes through their area of the convention center, "OH MY GOD! SOOBIN! YOU'RE SOOBIN!"

He watches, eyes wide as multiple head snap in their direction, the girl's friends all starting to scream and attracting even more attention. "Shit." he whispers under his breath, eyes widening as he scrambles up to his feet, arms out as if trying to ward off the feralness he can feel growing around him. He starts to edge back, glancing at the hallway next to them out of his periphery.

He watches as multiple young men and women start to shift towards him, the tension building as they all seem to wait for someone to make the first move. One of the girl's friend's reaches forward squealing something about being a huge fan. He flinches back as her exclamation seems to pop the building bubble and takes off bolting down the hallway as the crowd starts to swarm towards him.

Yeah... he was never going to hear the end of how stupid this was... if he manages to make it out of this.

She hears some screaming coming from down one of the hallways. Rolling her eyes, and muttering, "Honestly, it's like people forgot how to act in public. Etiquette just right out the window." Looking back down at the map on her phone she tries to figure out how the hell she's supposed to find room 242M. The numbering scheme for this building is not helping in the least bit. Add in that she's trying to find a mechanical room in a sprawling space and her attitude is steadily trending downward.
