Chap 19: Waiting

Aila was up around 7. She wanted to get ready early so they could see more of New York. The Brooklyn Bridge was in her list. She wanted to take Brian to the Rockefeller Center, St. Patrick's Cathedral, Central Park, and she needed to make it in time for the concert.  It was going to be busy day.

By 8 she was ready, bag packed, had eaten breakfast, and was in her way to wake the rest up when there was a knock on the door. This startled her but she went to see who it was. There were 3 people outside her door, dress professional-casual, with badges hanging from their necks. They looked professional and ready to take something from her.

"Good morning miss. We are from Big Hit Entertainment and would like to speak to you."

Aila's world stopped when those words left the stranger's mouth. Her heart thundered in her chest and her palms instantly became sweaty. How did they fucking find her?! How the fuck was this happening?!

"Miss, we are actually looking for you. Big Hit Entertainment would like to officially talk to you on the matter of you being BTS's soulmate."

What the fuck did they say?! Aila started hyperventilating and her head began to spin. She grabbed on the door for support, she needed that.

"The manager of BTS would like to have a word with you before meeting the boys. Of course, you can deny anything, but we would really like to at least speak to you face to face."

The people the company had sent to fetch her got worried. She wasn't responding and she became pale.

"Miss I know this is a lot to take in. You are the soulmate to one of the biggest boy bands but please look in your heart. The boys are going crazy. They need to at least know something about you. It's ok if you don't want to see them, but at least give them this conversation."

Woow. Now that was a speech. She took a deep, deep, breath and nodded her head yes. She didn't trust her voice to say it.

"Give me a minute please." Was all Aila said.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

Sejin was trying to convince the boys why a non-disclosure agreement was necessary for him to talk to their soulmate.

"Sejin-hyung. She bonded with us seven months ago. She's the last piece to our soul! Why does she need to sign this. We trust her!" Yoongi was getting mad. This is something that never happens but his matter was dear to his heart, to all of their hearts.

Seokjin stepped in after Yoongi.

"She doesn't need to sign this to talk to us. This doesn't offer protection to her. It binds her to this company and it's rules. She's not yours, she's ours!!"

The maknaes of the group had been quiet but they all agreed. They didn't want their soulmate to sign this document.

"This is final. If she wants to see you guys then she will sign. And I suggest you guys get over this. They are on their way."

"Can we please be there when you talk to her?" Namjoon just asked the same thing the others wanted to say.

"How? She can't see you guys till she signs."

"I don't know. Maybe we can divide the room or you can leave the door open for us to hear. We just want to hear her. Please Sejin-hyung."

"Fine. Now let's get ready." They made their way to a conference room in the hotel they were staying. This room was big and it opened to a living room space. There was another door with the actual conference table. The boys were all sitting in the conference table, and Sejin was going to talk to their soulmate in the living room. Sejin had an interpreter ready and the contract as well.

"I know we can't talk to her without this contract," Yoongi whispered, "but I don't want her to sign it."

"But how do we talk to her?" Jungkook asked, with despair in his voice.

"I don't know. But this is not right. Meeting your soulmate should not be a legal matter." The anger in Namjoon's voice was noticeable. Their talk died down when they felt that beautiful beating in their bodies.
