Chap 7: Shared Pain

Namjoon was finally home! After a long day of practice he was home!

He went straight for the showers.

The others had already arrived and were sleeping. He didn't think he could ever dislike his soulmates, but when he saw then all peacefully sleeping while he was just getting in from work, people change.

Out of nowhere he noticed a shudder through his body but his thoughts of laying in bed were bigger. Namjoon came out the bathroom, wearing only his boxers, not thinking anything and walked into the living room to find a kid.

A baby-kid, with big Bambi eyes and dark hair. He's eyes became a shade lighter, and he felt the pull towards him.

Jungkook felt overwhelmed with a heavy throb in his head. He recognized the boy in the boxers as the one that helped him choose Big Hit.

Namjoon hyung was standing in front of him.. And then he noticed how his sight became lighter, and the pull he felt towards the tall guy. Jungkook stood there, frozen, not knowing what to say, how to react, what to do. He had meet his soulmate! His soulmate was his band member.... ...

His band member!!!!!

Jungkook blinked in astonishment and bowed.

"I'm the new member Jeon Jungkook. Please treat me right."

Isn't this awkward. First time seeing your soulmate and he's already seen you naked, well almost naked thought Namjoon.

But the embarrassment was not more than the pull they felt towards each other. For some reason, Namjoon noticed the pull got stronger with the pieces they met. He made a note in the back of his head go see a soul doctor.

They couldn't take it anymore, they walked up to each other to engulfed each other. Namjoon could care less he was just wearing boxers. He didn't think of how uncomfortable Jungkook could feel.

The others woke up when they felt somebody's heartbeat within their body. At first they were perplexed, not knowing what was going on. Why did it feel like a piece was near. It didn't make sense. They all woke up, looked at each other and decided to run out the room with excitement. They never imagined they would see their Namjoon hugging a random kid.

Jealousy.

And that's when Jungkook felt this overwhelming overlapping pulsing in his body. He felt like his legs were twitching and were about to give out. His sight darkened and got lighter at the same time. He peeked from Namjoon's side and saw three other guys looking at him, in just boxers!!!

When they made eye contact, however, everything changed. The other three felt the pull, saw the change in their eyes, and they ran up to the two.

The feeling of making contact with each other was....warm, tingling, it felt like the first drop in a roller coaster, that feeling in your stomach, that excitement. It felt like home, calm. Like a day at the beach. Nothing could describe what they were feeling in each other's arms. The heat their bodies made was pleasant. The no clothes incident was long forgotten.

This lasted a minute. Jungkook realized what was happening. He bowed his head and pulled away from the group. He felt his shyness come back. He felt his cheeks heat up. He just meet 4 people that made his sight get lighter? How? It didn't make sense.

The others saw the tense bow the boy gave. He looked so young. Probably 13? How scary it must be to meet 4 people at once and see they made your eyes better.

"We are very sorry. We didn't try to intimidate you or make you feel uncomfortable. I know you must have a lot of questions, come let's see if we can go find some food."

Jungkook felt his body ease at Namjoon's voice. He looked up, nodded his head and they all made way to the kitchen to talk everything thru.

Very soon they were having a great time. They were joking like old friends, well Jungkook mostly stayed quiet and observed the dynamics of the group in front of him. He could tell they had known each other for some time and he felt jealous a bit.

He wanted to be part of such a group. He never really paid attention to soulmates talk, he was more interested in helping his family by achieving his dream. He might be 14 but he was competitive.

But seeing his hyungs have fun made him want to be like that with them. Wait why was he having these thoughts? Jungkook hadn't even had time to decide what he liked from a romantic perspective.

The others could see the thoughts spinning in the younger's mind. They wanted to ask about them, but felt like they might be intruding in the personal life of their soulmate. They knew he would one day open up to them. But for the time being they wanted to raise Jungkook into someone to make them proud. To support him as older brothers. No thoughts of romance came across their minds, not even a single one. They showed Jungkook their shared room, noticing how the younger was still tense. They could tell he was shy so they wished Jungkook good night and gave him some space.

In the morning they all felt this happy buzz in their bodies. They didn't know but their soul pieces where more than over the moon to feel so close to the others. Of course the ones not present were missed but the bond being formed between the present pieces was going to be strong, and their soul knew this.

Everything was going fine, well rushing out the house, chugging down breakfast fine. They really needed to make it to the company before training to talk to Bang Si-hyuk about everything. 

However everything changed when a sudden pain took over their chest. It felt like their hearts were breaking, getting thrown on the ground and shattering on impact. They swore they heard glass breaking ring in their ears. They all felt this pain. Never had they felt such heartbreak. Never had they gone through something in their life that would affect them this much.

Yoongi's panic attack never broke his spirit to this extent. Soon panic took over their chests and sobs escaped their mouths. But as soon as Yoongi felt Seokjin take his hand, the pain lessen. The others saw this and went to each and their breaths began to slow down to a normal pace. They stood there, in each other's arms, forgetting about why they were rushing.

Something was wrong. They knew something happened to one of their soulmates and not knowing what and who it was, was killing them.

Once their breaths came back and they were able to stop crying, they decided they not only needed to see Bang Si-hyuk but a soul doctor as soon as possible.
