Still confused, Cecily let Jeongguk half-drag her out of the bedroom and into the sitting area where the others were lounging about casually. He set her next to Jimin on the pile of pillows surrounding the fox-man and kissed the top of her head while she wondered when her clothes had been changed. Standing, he motioned to her as he looked at the others.

"I fucked up," he announced guiltily, "And forgot that Jimin hadn't gotten to talk to Cece about what he told us last night. I'm shit at this," he grinned at Cecily and gave her a wink, "But I'm excellent at finding food for my Princess." He looked at Jimin, "So I'll do that, and you do the other thing?"

Jimin rolled his eyes, but giggled, "Yeah okay, Kook. I got this."

Cecily watched Jeongguk walk away, admiring the muscles of his back as he stalked out the room, not to mention his plump backside and thighs as they stretched his sleeping pants tauntingly. Jimin cleared his throat, catching her attention. She blushed at being caught as she turned to the man beside her.

"He told me that...well, umm..." she took a fortifying breath, "Jimin, am I your mate?"

He smiled until his eyes almost disappeared, "Yes, Princess. The process is incomplete, but we are mates."

"But I'm Yoongi's mate? And Joon's, at least through ritual?"

"An Tae's, Kook's, Hobi's, and even Jin's,' Jimin finished for her, "I finally saw the 'why' you were meant to be with us. For some reason we don't know yet or understand, you are the bond-mate to each of us."

Her breath left her lungs for a moment in shock, "B-but..." she caught her breath again, "How is that even possible?"

"No clue," Jimin shrugged, "My visions aren't always super detailed, but they are always super accurate."

"It explains a lot," Namjoon leaned forward from his chair nearby, "Why we all feel connected to you, and you to us. Why you were able to complete the mating with Yoongi even though you are bonded and betrothed to me."

"You're an Epoch," Jin reminded her, "Your power, connection to nature, and excess of energy likely caused an effect that tied us to you."

Cecily didn't like that notion, "I don't want anyone to feel obligated because of my magic," she shook her head and looked at her feet. "I don't want my powers to control anyone's will."

"We don't think of it like that," Jin assured her, joining them on the floor to hug her, "We feel like it's more divine intervention."

"Like a miracle?"

"Like destiny," he shook his head.

Jeongguk joined them, hand-feeding Cecily as he got comfortable, "It doesn't feel unnatural or forced, so we're going to just go with the flow for now," he smiled as Cecily enjoyed the food he put in her mouth.

"But I'm still going to read you," Jin admitted, "And we might bring in a seer or a witch we know, just in case."

"What if it's not natural?" Cecily asked, alarmed that she might be unintentionally manipulating them, "What if it's, like, a spell or something that my mother put on me to make Joon unable to resist our marriage? Oh shit," she put her face in her hands, "Yoongi and I already mated and it might not even be real!"

"Relax," Jimin rubbed his hand over her back soothingly, "On the off chance that I am wrong here, it doesn't negate the fact that you are supposed to be here with us." He kissed her temple briefly, "We'll never leave you hanging, Princess."

Cecily calmed a little, deciding to trust Jimin at his word, "Okay," she took a breath, "So say it's a legitimate mate-bond," she smiled at the thought, "What do we do then?"
