Hidden Soulmate (Jungkook X Reader X Jimin)

Chapter 5

The next morning, Y/N met Jungkook in front of the school again.  He didn't have the bright smile from the day before after getting his soulmate mark. 

Y/N put a hand on his shoulder.  "Are you ok JK?" she asked, her voice soft.

Jungkook pushed his hair out of his face and smiled.  "I'm fine.  I showed Mina the mark yesterday and she just kind of shrugged.  I think she's embarrassed since it's not flashy and extravagant," he said sadly.

Y/N kept quiet.  Since she knew Mina's thoughts on the mark, she didn't want to say something that would be a lie.  So she instead spoke the truth.  "I think it's beautiful in its simplicity.  When I get my soulmate mark, I hope it's just as simple."

Jungkook smiled at her sweet words.  "Thanks Y/N.  You always know just what to say."

"JUNGKOOKIE!"  A high-pitched voice ripped across the silence of the morning.  Jungkook unconsciously winced at the shrill sound.  He turned to see Mina stomping toward him, a frown on her face.

"Hey babe," Jungkook said, holding out his arms to her.

Mina ignored the offered embrace.  "You were supposed to pick me up this morning," she said, a childish pout on her pretty face.

Jungkook shook his head.  "No babe.  You said yesterday that you were getting a ride in with the girls," he reminded her gently.

Mina shook her head and stamped her foot.  "Well they forgot.  I had to call Soobin to come get me.  Thankfully he cared enough to pick me up," she said haughtily.

"Why didn't you call me?" Jungkook asked.  "I would have come for you."

Mina shrugged.  "Never mind about it.  I need a cup of coffee," she said, tugging on his arm.

Jungkook looked back in apology at Y/N.  "I'll see you at lunch," he said as he was dragged away.

Y/N watched the exchange in irritation.  Although Mina was her friend, sometimes she hated her and the way she treated Jungkook. And she didn't trust the relationship with Soobin. They had dated before Mina met Jungkook.  Sometimes they acted as though they still did.

Y/N jumped when two arms wrapped themselves around her waist.  She turned to see Jimin standing behind her, a smirk on his full lips.  He pressed those lips to the back of her exposed neck.

"Hey babe," he purred in his soft voice.  "How about me and you get out of here?  I'll take your mind off everything."

Y/N shuddered and pushed him away.  "Knock it off Jiminie.  You're such a pervert," she said laughing.  Y/N noticed Yoongi standing behind him.  "Hey Yoongi," she said with a smile.

Yoongi's eyes looked down to where Jimin's arms were trying to snake back around her waist.  They narrowed at the sight.  "Morning," he said, his voice husky.

Y/N shoved Jimin away one more time.  "You ready for class?" she asked Yoongi.  He shrugged in response.  Y/N took his hand and pulled him away from Jimin.  "See you later Jiminie," she called over her shoulder.

"Bye babe," Jimin said, blowing her an exaggerated kiss.  "Don't get too distracted thinking about my ass."

Y/N rolled her eyes at his outlandish response and headed toward class with Yoongi in tow. 

Yoongi tugged on her hand, slowing down her pace.  "Are you dating Jimin?" he asked, a blush on his cheeks.

Y/N looked shocked.  "Jiminie?  Oh god no!" she exclaimed.  "We're just really close.  He's one of my best friends and I just feel comfortable with him."

Yoongi tapped his fingers against his lips.  Y/N recognized the action as something he did when he was thinking.  "You have an interesting relationship.  Jimin has always been very affectionate.  I just don't see very many girls respond to it.  Even though, I'm sure they want to."

Y/N nodded in understanding.  "Yeah.  I see what you mean.  To someone who doesn't know us well, it must look like we're together.  Not going to lie: Jiminie is one of the most beautiful men I have ever seen in my life.  I just don't see him that way," Y/N replied.

Yoongi stopped at the door to the classroom.  "One of the most beautiful?  Are there others you find just as beautiful?" he asked.

Y/N pressed a hand to her heart dramatically.  "Aww Oppa.  Are you trying to find out if I think you're beautiful too?" she asked in an exaggerated high-pitched voice.

Yoongi blushed and pushed her shoulder.  "You like messing with me, don't you?"

Y/N nodded.  "Of course I do," she said jokingly, but then all humor left her voice.  "But I do think you're beautiful," she said softly, looking down at the ground.

Yoongi's cheeks turned even redder.  He put a finger under her chin and tilted her face up to meet his eyes.  "Well, that's good because I think you're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen."

Y/N's face flushed at his sweet compliment.  She looked into his hypnotic eyes, losing herself in them.  She was startled out of her reverie when she heard Mina's shrill voice behind her.

"Y/N!  There you are! Did you hear the news?" Mina came up with a cup of coffee in one hand. She was prattling on about another soulmate pairing, with Y/N only half listening.  She was caught up in the interaction that just took place between her and Yoongi. 

Mina pulled her into the room, still going on about the situation and how awkward it was.  Apparently, Mina's friend Jennie found out that her soulmate mark matched Professor Zang, the handsome head of the zoology department.  The professor usually wore long sleeves, but he had rolled up his sleeves during a project and the entire class saw the ballet slippers with snakes as ribbons.

Y/N shook her head in sympathy.  Soulmate marks were awkward enough; finding out your soulmate was a professor in your college was worse.

Mina sat down in an empty seat in the classroom, dropping her bags on the floor next to her.  Y/N sat next to her and was surprised when Yoongi took the seat on the other side of her own.  Several girls approached Yoongi as he sat down.  Y/N tuned out most of the conversation, but she could hear snippets of the conversations.  The girls had offered to be his tour guide ("No thank you.  I already have one"), invited him to lunch ("I enjoy sitting with my cousin and friends"), and if he found his soulmate ("Not yet").

Y/N snickered at the dejected responses of the girls as they headed to their own seats.  "Yoongi you should have taken them up on their offer," she whispered.

Yoongi shook his head.  "I'm not interested in them," he whispered back.

Y/N shrugged her shoulders in response.  "You never know.  You might have become interested in one of them," she replied.

Yoongi wrapped a strand of Y/N's dark hair around his finger.  "Nah.  I like people who are real," he said huskily.

Y/N blushed at his touch then swatted his hand away.  "You like messing with me, don't you?" mimicking his words from earlier.  "You forgot I'm already taken by Jiminie."

Mina caught the last part of their conversation.  "Y/N," she whined.  "Why didn't you tell me that you and Jimin were dating?  I told you that you two were perfect for each other.  You're so pretty and he's so handsome," she said with a dreamy smile on her face.

Y/N laughed at her response.  "I am definitely not dating Jiminie.  We're just friends.  God why does everyone think we're together?" she asked in frustration.

Mina couldn't help but feel the happiness in her chest when Y/N said that she and Jimin weren't dating.  Although she was dating Jungkook, she always had a little crush on the sexy, seductive black haired man.  It was good to know he was still available.
