Taehyung doesn't care about soulmates, he doesn't care if he even has one at all. That is, until some random person falls straight on top of him and has the audacity to say, "I guess you can say I really fell for you, huh?"

Taehyung never cared about his step-counter. It seemed like an odd thing to do, considering everyone else was out there just waiting for their step-counter to go off, kind of like his best friend Jimin, but Taehyung never bothered with it. His mind was never set on that special someone who was made for him, it was always just thinking about everything and anything but that at any given time. Taehyung wanted to live his life free from the anticipation and anxiety that came with the step-counter around his wrist. He knew he'd meet them someday it was all in a matter of time.
His parents thought it was a good choice, after all they weren't each other's soulmates to begin with. Taehyung has always found the story romantically tragic in a way. His parents had run into one another at the subway station only to hit it off well and eventually go on dates that soon led to marriage. They had promised themselves to one another by throwing away their step-counters, thousands of steps still counting down. Taehyung knew one day they'd run into their true soulmate and maybe that would be the last of his parents' happy marriage or maybe one of them would chose to stay and continue to love the other. His parents had told him to find a girl he would fall in love with not to let the step-counter do it for him.
Taehyung would've taken that advice but he didn't find the point in searching for any girl to date. He was an independent soul who would just go with the flow and that was all that mattered. He just wanted to live his life his way.
"Yo, Taehyungie," Hoseok waved a hand in front of his face, "Come on."
Taehyung blinked, he hadn't even realized he had blanked out in front of the elevator, "Oh sorry hyung."
The two stepped into the elevator and Hoseok pressed the button to the forth floor and the elevator door slowly closed and started to rise. Today Taehyung was joining Hoseok during one of his work days at BigHit, the entertainment company he worked for. Hoseok had told Taehyung he would be working on new choreography for the new rookie idol group debuting in a few months. Taehyung, being the artist he was, had been wanting to work on drawing movement. He didn't think he was the best when it came to sketching people but practice makes perfect and so he asked if he could join Hoseok to help better himself in his sketches.
"You know, Jimin dances too." Hoseok said walking out of the elevator. Taehyung followed closely behind, his art bag in hand.
"I know that but he has classes all day and I don't want to bother him." Taehyung spoke, "Plus I don't see why you're complaining. I'm just watching and you're still getting paid."
"You have a point," Hosoek nodded and opened the dance studio door and turned on the light.
"I always do," Taehyung smiled and sat down in the corner taking out his sketchbook and pencils, "Whenever you're ready hyung."

Taehyung was silently stirring his soda with the straw. He had tuned out his friends a few minutes ago, he had a lot on his mind. Thoughts kept swimming around and honestly he didn't even know what he was supposed to be thinking about anymore.
"Taehyung?"
Taehyung lifted his eyes up to meet Jimin's and he hummed a response.
"You okay?"
Taehyung blinked, "Oh yeah...just fine."
"That's a lie," Seokjin spoke, his mouth full of the steak he had ordered.
