Hidden Soulmate (Jungkook X Reader X Jimin)

Chapter 26

Y/N was waiting for Jimin outside of the college at the end of the day. She had a change of clothes in her backpack since she had promised to spend the night with him. She was nervous about being with him alone in his bed. Jimin had promised he would be patient with her, but she didn't want to disappoint him.

Jimin, Jungkook, and Taehyung were heading across the campus. Jimin's face broke into a bright smile when he saw her waiting for him. He jogged over to her, leaving Taehyung and Jungkook to follow at a more sedate pace.

When he reached her side, Jimin wrapped his arms around her, burying his face in her hair. "Hi baby," he said. "I missed you."

Y/N laughed at the cute pout on his handsome face. "You saw me a couple of hours ago," she said.

"I know, but still. I got to spend all day yesterday with you. I guess I got used to it," Jimin said with a shrug.

Y/N kissed his cheek. "You're so cute," she said. "Hey guys." Y/N waved at Jungkook and Taehyung as they approached. Y/N hugged Taehyung, but pulled back when Jungkook took a step toward her. She didn't miss the hurt look on his face. She felt bad, but she couldn't take the risk of skin-to-skin contact just yet.

Jimin wrapped an arm around her, pulling her close. "I rode in with Tae and JK today. You don't mind riding back with them, do you?" he asked.

Y/N shook her head. "Of course not," she replied.

Y/N followed the guys to Jimin's car. Y/N climbed into the backseat with Jungkook, making sure to keep a good distance between them. Taehyung protested, but Y/N insisted. "Tae your legs are a lot longer than mine. It's fine, I promise."

Jimin looked at Y/N and Jungkook in the rearview. "No making out with my girl in the backseat of my car, JK," he said, laughing.

Y/N punched him in the arm. "Yah! Why you always gotta mess with me?" she asked. She looked over to Jungkook to see a look in his eyes that she didn't understand before it disappeared.

Jungkook looked back at her, desperately wanting to lean over and press his lips to hers. He wanted to pull her into his arms, kiss her, tell her how much he loved her and how she should be with him instead of Jimin.

The car ride to the condo was filled with conversation. Jimin told Y/N about what happened with Jennie during his modern dance class. Y/N laughed at how Hoseok handled the situation. She knew she should probably feel jealous, but since Jimin had been open and honest with her, she didn't. She actually felt proud that she was dating one of the most handsome men in the college. She admitted that to Jimin.

"Wait? What? One of the most handsome?" he said in mock horror. "Who else do you think is handsome?"

Y/N patted Taehyung's shoulder. "Well Tae of course. Then Hoseok and can't forget Yoongi," Y/N said with a laugh.

Jimin pretended to look offended. "My own cousin? Ouch!"

Y/N laughed. "If only he didn't have a soulmate. Maybe in my next life," she said dreamily.

"Babe," Jimin whined. "That's not cool." He thought for a moment then sent her a smirk. "What about JK?" he asked.

Y/N glared at him before turning to Jungkook. "Of course he is. I always thought so," she said.

Jungkook gave her a shy bunny smile. "Still think I'm handsome?" he asked.

Y/N rolled her eyes. "Duh."

Something about Y/N's admission made Jungkook's heart fill with light. She may be mad at him still, but at least they were taking the steps to repair their friendship. It might never be the same, but at least she didn't hate him anymore.

They arrived at the condo and exited the car. Y/N followed the guys up the path and waited as Jimin unlocked the door. He took her bag for her and went and put it in his room. The other two went to their rooms to change into more comfortable clothes. Y/N collapsed on the couch, leaning her head back against the cushion. Jimin came back in the room and lay down on the couch with his head in her lap.

Y/N ran her fingers through his silky black hair, giggling as he closed his eyes. Taehyung came back in a t-shirt and joggers. He sat on the couch next to her, leaning his head on her shoulder.

Jimin laughingly protested. "Damn Tae. I was trying to get some snuggles with my girl," he said, a pout on his plush lips.

Y/N leaned down and kissed his lips. "Don't pout Jiminie. I need my Tae cuddles too," she said.

Jungkook came back in wearing similar attire to Tae. He plopped down on the other couch, pulling his phone out of his pocket. "Do you want to order take out?" he asked. "I don't feel like cooking."

Y/N rolled her eyes. "Since when do you cook? I know you guys live on takeout," she said with a smile.

Jungkook returned her smile with one of his own. "I can cook a little now. Nothing fancy, but enough so I don't starve," he said.

Jimin sat up and went to get a stack of takeout menus from the kitchen. "Pick where you want to order from. We're not picky," he said, dropping them on her lap.

Y/N laughed at the huge collection. "You guys are ridiculous," she said. She held up a menu from a place that she knew they all liked. "What about this one?"

The guys all nodded. Jimin took out his phone then turned to Y/N. "What do you want to eat from there baby?" he asked. "JK and Tae get the same thing every time." Y/N pointed at something on the menu and Jimin nodded.

Y/N went to stand up. "I'll get my money from my bag."

Jimin took her hand and pulled her back down. "I got it. Let me treat you to dinner," he said.

"You sure?" Y/N asked.

"Of course. I don't mind buying you dinner," Jimin said, tickling her waist. "Especially since you didn't order the most expensive thing on the menu."

Y/N laughed then shrugged. "Eh... you know me. I'm a cheap date," she said.

Y/N enjoyed her evening with the guys. They ate at the coffee table, with Y/N stealing bites from Taehyung's plate when he wasn't looking. After they finished, they turned on a movie. Jimin laid his head back in her lap, placing her hand back in his hair. Halfway through the movie, Jimin dozed off. When the movie ended, Y/N looked at her watch and was surprised to see it was almost 11.

"Jiminie," she said, running her fingers down his soft cheek. "Go to bed."

Jimin moaned in his sleep, turning to face her stomach, wrapping his arms around her. "Mmmm... don't wanna... comfy."

Y/N giggled at his cuteness. "Come on Jiminie," she said, tickling his side.

Jimin opened one eye and looked at her. "Only if you come with me," he said, giving her a sleepy smile that she found irresistible.

Y/N nodded and Jimin pulled himself up and off the couch, rubbing his puffy eyes. He grabbed her hand and pulled her up. Y/N bent over and pecked Taehyung's lips then wished Jungkook a good night.

Jungkook watched Y/N follow Jimin into his bedroom. He heard the door close and his heart dropped. Jimin rarely spent a full night in his room and he never closed his door. Either Jungkook or Taehyung or both usually ended up in his bed or him in one of theirs. The relationship was strictly platonic; the guys just felt comfortable around each other.

Taehyung was watching him carefully. "Want to tell me what you're thinking Kookie?" he asked.

Jungkook shrugged. "It's nothing Tae," he lied.

Taehyung sighed. "Y/N's happy Kookie. Jiminie makes her happy. He loves her," he said.

"We all do," Jungkook replied.

Taehyung shook his head. "No. Not that way. He's in love with her. That girl is everything to him," he said. "But she's everything to you too, isn't she?"

Jungkook looked at him in surprise then let out a groan. "Is it that obvious?" he asked.

Taehyung nodded. "You look at her the same way Jiminie does. You look at her like you're in love with her."
