"a-as in the millionaires of the fashion i-industry?" I sputtered, completely confused.

They both look at me and smile sheepishly, while rubbing the neck of their necks. Jimin removed his mask and nodded towards the girls who stood their jumping on the balls of their feet excitedly.

Why hadn't I noticed this before?!

My soulmates are millionaires?!

Am I hallucinating? is this just a dream?

for fuck's sake it's two in the morning, I should be asleep but noOo-

"I know, this might be annoying for you guys. But we're huge fans" The girl with ash blond hair said putting more emphasis on the word 'huge', whose name was Areum which I found out while reading her name tag.

"So can we um- get your autographs?" The girl who took our orders asked, shyly ducking her head and biting her lip, while pulling back a strand of her hair behind her ear.

(If you know, you know ~a/n)

After both my soulmates took off their mask (if you make a joke, I will murder you😶) and posed for a few pictures with the two girls, Jimin and Jungkook hoisted me up from my seat and walked to the exit of the café, all the while I was still in shock with my mouth agape.

Both of them grabbed their drinks and mine and we walked, well they carried me out. We walked out the café and reached the alley again, huh somehow we always end up here. They placed me gently, leaned on a wall, both of them standing adjacent to me.

"you guys are famous?!" I shouted, a little louder than I had intended to, causing the both of them to hurriedly shush me.

"sorry, sorry. but you two are famous?!" I whispered in a much softer tone.

"uh yeah, I guess you could say that..?" Jungkook trailed off unsure of his sentence, looking around the place his eyes squinting every once in a while. Jimin had his plush bottom lip in between his teeth, contemplating something.

"guys? are you okay-" I started, only to be cut of immediately by the short blond. Well, damn I guess they like cutting me off every few seconds.

"Tae-Taehyung how about we discuss this, somewhere else?" Jimin stuttered softly, looking at me with worried eyes.

I raised my eyebrow in confusion, this doesn't seem right at all. Something's off about them. I can feel it, but I decided to not push them into telling me. Partly because I was still afraid, I didn't want to scare them off by forcing them.

"uh yeah? yeah my apartment is near here, we could go there." I stuttered, both of them gently smiling at me, making me melt inside.

"lead the way, prince." Jungkook said, the nickname making me feel smaller under their gazes.

-

I led the way to my small apartment, and when I say small I mean teeny tiny. Like small small. I ain't even kidding. This one was the cheapest I could find at that time, when I was broker than broke. That was around the time I moved to the city, it's been two years since and I haven't moved apartments. Mostly because working two jobs with barely enough money for college tuition and two meals a day, was fucking hard.

Oh and they never teach you any of the important things for adulthood in school. Like paying bills and managing an income. In all of my 20 years of living, never had I once used the periodic table for grocery shopping. It took me some time to get used to everything and once I got all my shit together, this happens.

very funny, you know? one moment you have everything under control and the next it comes crashing down on you. But at least now I've got two people to help me bear the weight of my own expectations crushing down on me, at least now I have people I can lean back on, people I can trust wholeheartedly with.

It might be too soon, considering I've just met them. Two hours ago I barely knew they existed, but I already know I'm falling for them, hard. I've honestly felt more emotions in the last two hours then I have in the past two years.

I cringe as I open the door to my apartment, its so small and there's barely enough place for anything. The whole apartment, if you could call it that, was crammed and small.

"Uhh this is my place, I guess." I mumbled looking at my shoes.

"It's not that bad, we can fix it up a bit tomorrow, but for now, let's head to bed" Jimin said showing me a bright smile, I just loved how he always seemed to look at the positives of a bad situation.

"Let's head to bed then?" Jungkook asked back hugging Jimin, looking towards me with a fond look in his eyes. Both me and Jimin made small sounds of agreement.

My eyes drooped slowly, already tired as I slouched my way into my bedroom, the two taller boys following me. All of the events happened today hitting me all at once.

Got fired.

I have no source of income left.

Found my soulmates.

I have two of them.

Who are probably two of the most influential and famous people in all of South Korea.

Well Fuck.

I grabbed one of my blankets and trudged my way out of the room, i didn't want to force myself onto them and possibly scare them away. I would've made myself out of the room, if it weren't for both of the guys stopping me from leaving the small room.

"Where do you reckon' you're going?" Jungkook asks raising his left eyebrow, which looked hot as-

"Uhh to sleep on the couch-?" I mumbled in an obvious tone.

"Why would you want to do that?" Jimin asked, slightly hurt his new soulmate doesn't want to sleep next to him.

"Uh-um I wanted to give you guys your space-" I was cut of by both the boys pulling me onto the mattress.

"We don't want our soulmate to be cold or hurt" and just as Jungkook said that, Jimin pulled me into his warm embrace, my back meeting his front as I lightly blushed.

Jungkook volunteered to turn off the dim lights and he joined us in bed a few seconds later, putting his arm on the both of us.

Let's just say, that night was one of the best nights each of them had. They were a pile of hearts and limbs, each of them promising to protect each other, no matter the circumstances.
