Tear Drops // Jin x reader: Soulmate Series

Chapter 3

The next ten minutes were pure chaos. Phones were suddenly being pushed into my face, random strangers were walking in after hearing what had happened, and all the while, my manager and coaches and friends rallied in a circle around me. I was still sat on the floor, bewildered that one of the most gorgeous humans ever was my soulmate.

MY. SOULMATE.

"Oh my God." Everyone around me stopped talking and looked down. Shakily standing up, multiple hands shot out to help support me.

"I'm Jin's soulmate." I looked Rex in the eye, my face utterly confused. "How and why?"

Sería rolled her eyes. "For a kickboxer, you're pretty hot."

She tried to focus on my face but I could tell she wanted to just stare at the gem. I rose an eyebrow when she glanced at it before looking back at me.

"Okay, but like," I unconsciously tapped the jewel on the side of my face. "What do we even have in common?"

I pushed my way out of the group, not waiting for a response. A soulmate. After all this time, I finally get what I didn't want. Why? What was I going to do? I needed a game plan. For starters, if people find out who my ex is, sucks for him. Second off, I don't know Korean. How am I supposed to like understand the soulmate connection if I can't understand him?

Where is my mom when I needed her?

A hand on my shoulder made me automatically pull my elbow back in self defense. Rex muttered a few swear words as he narrowly avoided getting hit. I turned to face him. He stood inches away, his hand still on my shoulder. Worry was written across his face.

"Meet me at Jimin in 10," he mouthed and then walked away. Or tried to. He ended up being mobbed by phones since he knew 'one of the most famous girls in the world'. Complete and utter BS if you ask me.

Closing my eyes, I imagined the lake. Peaceful and beautiful, the place where I wanted to be right now. I opened my eyes and gestured to my manager that I'm leaving. Of course, getting to my stuff in the locker room in the building beside this one wasn't going to be easy. Jumping from the heightened ring, I was met by cameras galore and plenty of people. One girl with a brand new IPhone, pushed her way to me as I pushed my way out.

She somehow had gotten to the front and literally threw herself in front of me. "What the actual-"

"How'd you do it?" She smacked her obnoxious gum in her mouth and smiled at me. She was wearing a flannel shirt, but I immediately spotted the RJ hanging off of her book bag.

A smile appeared on my face, "Another Army. But what are you talking about? How'd I do what?"

As soon as she rolled her brown eyes, my smile dropped. "How'd you fake the gem sign. And during a fight? Incredible."

She stated the first part as a statement, indicating that she knew this unwanted gem wasn't real. Which she was wrong about. I balled my fist up by my side. Kids have balls these days. Big ones.

"You're kidding me?" My voice was strained and I stared at her camera. "I don't believe in soulmates so why would I fake this and ruin his and my life?" With that, I brushed past her and purposely bumped her shoulder. She stumbled a bit, but could only stare at me as I angrily worked my way through the rest of the crowd.

Fake it? Fake it!

How do you fake a freaking tear drop diamond thing growing out of your face without using CGI? Could anyone answer that? No.

Now, not only is my life ruined, but so is his.

Stomping into the gym, I made my way to the locker rooms. I slammed everything in my wake and avoided all glances at a mirror. What am I supposed to do?

I quickly changed clothes and grabbed my bags. I just need to find Rex.

When I walked out of the locker rooms, I could see other members trying not to look. Why can't people just mind their own business right now? I sighed and somehow walked my way to Rex's black car.

"Is that your boyfriend? Is that why you don't believe in Soulmates?"

A guy with a hoodie on stood beside the car. Before I could respond, Rex got out from the driver side and stared at the guy. I suppressed a laugh as the poor dude threw his hands up in surrender and backed away. Making my way to the passenger side, I lazily threw my stuff in and followed after.

"Lake," I asked hopefully. My gaze stayed on the crowd as he pulled away, the crowd growing smaller and smaller.

He sighed. "Yea, there's a lot to talk about."

His answer was greeted by a groan. He laughed slightly. "Glad to know you're taking this well."

All I could do was give him a tight lipped smile. I looked back out the window. Watching the trees and stores whip past, I couldn't help but be lost in my thoughts. Nervousness filled my mind but it wasn't a feeling I had at the moment. It was like it came from somewhere else. Shaking my head, I ignored it.

This was a big deal though. I couldn't simply ignore it. I had to address him. And addressing him included addressing his fans and the press. If I went about this wrong, my career is possibly over. Who would want to manage or watch the girl who broke Kim Seokjin's heart. No one. Why did I even get a soulmate sign? If the universe wanted me to have one, why did they make it now and not earlier? The poor man probably thought his soulmate was going to be like 10 years younger. A sugar daddy.

But sike, he got me instead.

I then remembered what I said to the girl.

I don't believe in Soulmates.

Rex slowly pulled the car up to where the lake was and then stopped. He unbuckled his seatbelt and turned towards me who had a look of pure dread on their face.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Panic laced his voice and he frantically looked around.

My hands turned his head so he could look me in the eye. "I possibly just made the worst mistake of my life."

His eyes widened and looked out the window. Our lives just got blinged.

This is one of my shortest chapters lololol

So if you haven't heard, I'm a liar. Ask any of my avid readers. 

Also La Corona gave me more time to write lately. But honestly this is wild. I feel bad for high school and college seniors who had so many plans.

Thanks to all law enforcement and first responders and mailmen and fast food works and everybody.

To the college student: stay your crusty butts inside!

Anyway I love y'all and stay safe and guess I'll be updating since I actually have time now lol
