Chapter 9

Silence surrounded us as Jimin continued to stare at me, the fierce look in his eyes making it impossible for me to turn away, intimidating and mesmerizing me all at the same time. I wracked my brain for things to say, a good comeback, anything... but came up empty. Instead, I just continued to lock eyes with the intense man beside me, the rest of the world fading away until it was just us there, the only sound that of my heart pounding in my ears. Staring at Jimin, I felt oddly at ease.

Would it really be so bad? Couldn't we just-

Hoseok cleared his throat, the sound causing the invisible bubble surrounding us to shatter, allowing reality to creep back in. The sound of Namjoon's deep voice as he spoke quietly into the phone, the warmth of Jimin's breath as it washed over my face, the connection between us that I was determined to ignore.

Ignoring my momentary lack of judgement, I let out a small chuckle.

"I guess everyone has different views, huh?" I ask, scratching the back of my neck.

"I think it's a mixture of both," Hoseok commented.

I turned to him, "What do you mean?"

"Well, I think it's a mixture of both of your views. Jimin believes that there is a match for everyone, that there is one person specifically made to go with you the rest of your life. That everyone gets true love. You, Yoongi, you believe that true love is rare, it only happens to a select few. Like Namjoon for example,"

"I think that everyone has at least one match, some may even have more than that. I once heard a saying that at any given point in time, there are 6 people in the world who are a perfect match for you." He holds up six fingers, as if to accentuate his point. "But, what if not all of those are the best possible match? What if," he wiggles his pinky finger, "this guy is only 95% compatible with you? While this guy," he wiggles the lone finger raised on his right hand, "is 100% compatible,"

"You see, I believe that there are multiple people that you could have true love with. You could be happy with them. But you only have one true soulmate. The rest are just.. What should we call them? Let's go with Kindred Souls for now. You could be happy with them, and you wouldn't even know you were missing out, unless you had already met your soulmate of course," he finished, shrugging his shoulders.

I stare at him, trying to process his explanation. I'm so busy in my own mind, I barely notice once the two men beside me start exchanging words.

Jimin leans forward to see around me, a look of surprise on his face.

"You're surprisingly serious for a guy who messes around so much," Jimin sneered, the abrasive tone of his voice showing that he wasn't just teasing.

Hoseok smiled back at him, the happy look on his face contrasting against the harshness of his words.

"And you're awfully small for a guy with such a big ego, aren't you?"

Jimin moves to get up, his anger showing on his face. Before he can fully rise though, Hoseok's phone chimes in his pocket. He pulls it out and his face falls.

"Ah, I have a meeting in a few minutes, so I'll have to part from you guys here. Oh, but before I go," his eyes meet mine, a flirtatious smile gracing his lips, "We really should continue this tour another time. Alone." He gives Jimin a pointed look, before winking at me. Standing, he walks away from us, leaving me with a very angry Jimin.

Jimin stands, crossing his arms in front of him before looking down at me. I refuse to meet his eyes, instead I suddenly find a spot on the wall across from me very interesting. Jimin looks like he wants to say something, but before he gets the chance we are once again joined by Namjoon.
