Jimin looked at his leg in surprise. How could this be? How could Jungkook be his soulmate and why on earth was it black? He sat down on the edge of the tub. He hadn't touched Jungkook. The only person he had touched skin to skin in the last two hours was... Y/N.

Jimin darted back into his bedroom and looked at the beautiful girl asleep in his bed. All of a sudden, all the emotions he had been trying to bury the last few days came bubbling to the surface. Y/N was his soulmate. He was sure of it. He walked to the edge of the bed and looked at her lovely frame. The top edge of her tank top had slid low over her left breast. Right above her heart, Jimin could see a glossy black line. Jimin carefully pulled down the edge of the tank top, revealing the matching soulmate mark. The music note part of the mark was glossy black, while the heart rhythm remained grey.

Y/N was his soulmate. His and Jungkook's. Why had she lied and said she didn't have one? Jimin nodded to himself. It was because of Mina. Y/N was giving Jungkook time to realize that Mina wasn't his soulmate.

Jimin brushed her hair out of her face. "Oh baby," he whispered. "This must have been so hard for you." He bent down and kissed her cheek. "It's going to be okay. I'm here now. It's going to be okay."

Jimin climbed into the bed next to her, pulling her close. His heart was so filled with happiness that he couldn't believe it. He had found his soulmate. It was the girl he had dreamed it would be. He didn't have to feel bad about falling in love with her anymore. They could be together and it would all be okay. Jimin's happy thoughts trailed off when he remembered Jungkook. Their other soulmate. They would have to tell him eventually. But for now, Jimin could enjoy the sense of peace he found in her arms.

The next morning, Y/N awoke to find herself in Jimin's bed. The spot next to her was warm, proving he had slept next to her. Y/N looked down at her chest and realized the Treble clef half of her soulmate mark was a glossy black. The heart rhythm was still grey. Y/N sat up in confusion. She hadn't noticed Jimin sitting cross-legged at the edge of the bed until she sat up.

Jimin was watching her intently. He had on a pair of boxes that rode up his muscular thighs. On his right upper thigh, was a treble clef music note, with the last line creating a heart rhythm. Oh man holy shit, Y/N thought to herself.

Y/N took a deep breath and prepared to explain herself, but then she noticed the expression on Jimin's face. He didn't look angry at all. He looked... happy? Y/N was confused and waited for him to say something. Jimin just sat there quietly, apparently waiting for her to speak first.

"Umm... so you got your mark, huh?" Y/N asked then wanted to smack herself for being so stupid. "Same as Jungkook yeah?"

Jimin didn't say anything, just continued to watch her.

Y/N looked down at the blanket, her eyes filling with tears. "Jiminie, I'm so sorry," she said quietly.

Jimin noticed her tears and was next to her in a flash. "Sorry for what baby?" he asked, gently pushing her hair back from her face and wiping the tears from her cheeks.

"I'm sorry for lying to you about the mark. And I'm sorry that it's me," she said sadly.

Jimin placed two fingers beneath her chin, forcing her to look at him. "I understand why you lied. I really do. Jungkookie needed to see the truth about Mina for himself. So don't apologize for that. And don't you dare apologize for being my soulmate. You have no idea how happy it makes me," Jimin said firmly.

Y/N looked at him in surprise. "What? Why?" she questioned.

Jimin took her hand in both of his, stroking her fingers. "Last night, I was hoping I wouldn't get a mark. It would let me be with you without having to worry. Then last night I saw my mark and saw it was black. I knew in an instant you were my soulmate. I wanted it to be you. I wanted it to be you so bad," he said, tears in his own eyes. "When I kissed you at the party, I knew something was different. I just didn't know what it was."

Y/N's tears continued to spill at his sweet words. "Are you sure you're okay with this? With having two soulmates?" she asked.

Jimin nodded emphatically. "While you were sleeping, I looked up multiple soulmates. It's more common than you think. When there are three soulmates and two are the same gender, it doesn't always have to be romantic. Sometimes their bond is platonic. They are just part of the same bond because of the third person who links them together," he explained.

Y/N wiped the tears from her face. "I'm so sorry Jiminie," she said again.

Jimin pulled her close, wrapping her in his arms and nuzzling his nose in her neck. "I told you don't you dare say sorry for being my soulmate." He pulled back as a thought occurred to him. "Unless you don't want to be," he said, worry in his voice.

Y/N wrapped her arms around his neck. "No Jiminie. Don't think that. Please," she said. "I wished it was you. I really did."

Jimin let out the breath he didn't know he had been holding and hugged her tight again. "But you still love JK don't you?" he asked. He didn't look angry, just curious.

Y/N sighed. "I'm sure part of me always will, but right now, the part that hates him is so much stronger," she said.

Jimin pressed his lips to her cheek. "It's going to be okay baby. I promise," he said.

"What are we going to do? If you show them your mark and tell them you're my soulmate, then they'll know Jungkook is too," Y/N asked.

Jimin thought for a minute. "I'll just tell them I didn't get one. When you're ready, we'll tell the truth," he said.

"Do you think he'll be angry?" Y/N questioned.

Jimin shook his head. "I don't think so. I've seen Jungkook watching you. He wants to be with you. He just doesn't know how it would work since he thinks you don't have a soulmate," he said.

Y/N didn't believe him completely, but nodded anyway.

Jimin pulled back from her and looked at her face, running a finger down her cheek. "I'm so happy you're my soulmate. That means I can do this again," he said, before pressing his lips to hers.

Jimin slid his tongue along the seam of her lips, asking for and being allowed entrance. Her tongue met his and she melted in his arms. Jimin pulled her down gently to the bed, then angled his body over hers, still kissing her. She wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him even closer.

Jimin pressed his hips against hers and she could feel the hardness beneath his boxers. Either she turned him on or he just had really good morning wood. Y/N let out a breathy moan into his mouth at the feel of his body against hers. She ran her hands up the bare skin of his back and he let out a groan.

Jimin pulled his lips from hers then buried his head in her neck, kissing the side of her throat. "Oh baby. You have no idea how good you feel. I want this so bad," he said.

Y/N tensed up at his words. As bad as wanted to be with him, the timing just wasn't right.

Jimin noticed the way her body tightened beneath him. "It's okay baby. I can wait. I promise. I've waited this long for you. I can wait until you're ready," he said. He kissed her one more time and sat up, pulling her up with him. "However, I am going to get out of this bed because if I don't, I'm afraid I'll break that promise."

Y/N giggled at his words. "I'm going to take a shower. Can I use your shampoo? It smells so good," she said.

Jimin smiled at her. "Of course. I'll leave some clean clothes for you since I know you didn't plan on spending the night," he said.

Y/N smiled at him as she got off the bed. She turned to head to the bathroom, but then threw herself back in his arms. "Thank you Jiminie. For being so wonderful and so amazing."

Jimin hugged her tightly, wrapping his arms around his beautiful soulmate, his best friend. He kissed her head then swatted her butt. She squealed at the contact and went into the bathroom, leaving him laughing as she left.
