Taehyung sat bolt upright, a sheen of sweat sticking to his forehead, his chest heaving. A strangled sound came from his throat, and Taehyung took a shaky breath. Just a dream. He reminded himself, and shakily lay back down next to Jeongguk. Taehyung laid on his side, waiting for sleep to take him again, but instead felt tears prick the corners of his eyes, and soon soundless sobs shook his body with each breath, forcing Taehyung's eyes shut. Suddenly, Taehyung felt a warm hand on his cheek, and he forced his eyes open to see that Jeongguk had shifted so that he was lying facing Taehyung. "Hyung?" Jeongguk whispered, and Taehyung just shook his head slightly at the younger boy. Wordlessly, Jeongguk slightly lifted Taehyung's head and shifted so that one of his arms was beneath it, and pulled Taehyung to his chest, his other arm thrown over Taehyung's waist. Taehyung clutched at the material of Jeongguk's t-shirt as the boy began to rub soothing circles on his back through his shirt. Finally, Taehyung was able to fall back to sleep.

Bonds are like snowflakes. No two are the same, and yet everyone has one. Except Jungkook doesn't have a bond or a soulmate. But, he does, however, get the chance of a lifetime, he gets the chance to meet his idol. That is if he can win the competition. Or: Taehyung is an idol and Jungkook is the college fanboy.
