Okay guys. This is my first ever fic and it is cringy af! so...
but let me know how it was
Winter was finally here- the white flakes of snow falling slowly on the ground- announcing its arrival. Despite the cold weather, you felt quite warm inside. It was your first day at work today. You always dreamt of working at the entertainment company. Weird, right? But somehow it was your dream.
The hot water of the shower that hit your body did nothing to calm your jitters. You drape your towel around your body and make your way toward your bedroom. You quickly put on some clothes, when your gaze falls on the small but long mirror in your bedroom. (‘coz every girl needs one 😉) You gently trace your fingers over the tattoo that covered your left collarbone.
A tattoo that decides your fate, your soulmate. The black tattoo that turns purple on meeting your fated one. You’re still waiting for that day to come.
Your tattoo was a very simple one, a small musical note which ends in a lifeline (something like this).
You wonder who your soulmate is. Does he love music? Is he a doctor? Or does it mean something else? You’ve always dreamt of how your life with your soulmate would be. Imagined of going out on romantic dates with him…. Cuddling with him on friday nights with pizza and a movie… kissing him… hugging him tightly on your good and bad days. You’ve never dated before, you don’t really understand the concept of dating other people when you already are fated to your mate. You wonder if he thinks the same.
You snap out of your daze and quickly put on your shirt and makeup, getting ready for work. As soon as you’re done eating your breakfast, you exit your small apartment and walk yourself to the bus stop. In about 20 minutes, you stand in front of the magnificent building that was your dream. Hybe. Although you were just an intern, you had a chance of landing a permanent job here. And you hold on to that. You enter the building and approach the receptionist.
“How may I help you?”, she asks with a smile.
“Umm I’m actually an intern and it’s my first day at this job… could you guide me to where I’m supposed to be please?” you kindly return the smile.
She types something in her computer and turns back to you with the smile still plastered on her face.
“Oh! Welcome at hybe Ms. Y/N. You will require to go to the 2nd floor in the conference room. You will be briefed about your work expectations, and then you will be getting your employee Id’s”
Thanking her, you make your way upto the 2nd floor in awe. Although you’ve been here before for your interview, you feel it’s like the first time. You reach the door of the conference hall and take a deep breath. This is it. You knock twice and open the door. Inside you see a man approximately in his 30s sitting on his chair. You immediately recognize him. He sits up and sweetly smiles at you.
“Welcome ms Y/N. Please have a seat” he says gesturing to a seat next to him.
“Thank you sejin pd-nim” you say smiling. He was the one who interviewed you.
“Anneonghaseyo Ms Y/N. I would like to brief you about whatyour work here as an intern is. You will be assisting me and the other staff members of bangtan boys.” You gasp. “I know you are a fan of theirs but you seemed mature and professional enough at the interview so I decided to choose you. You seem to be passionate about this work and that’s what I admire about you. So here is your employee card. Welcome to the hybe family.” You took the card from his hands and looked at it. You almost couldn’t believe it.
“Thank you pd-nim. I won’t disappoint you. I’ll keep doing hard work,” you say as you return his smile.
“Very well. Follow me, I’ll introduce you to the rest of the staff and the members.”
You wear your id card in your neck and silently follow him. But inside, you were dancing at every song you could possibly remember. He takes you to the 7th floor, where you could see all the dance practice rooms were located. He was explaining to you the locations of various things. You could grasp a few like studios on 9th & 10th floor, dance practice rooms on the 7th and some shooting rooms on the 6th floor. He suddenly opens a door to his left and lets himself in. You follow him only to enter the famous practice room which you saw only in their videos and vlives. You see that bts members are practicing on the song fake love, for a performance probably. Sejin pd-nim calls you by your name and you move towards him quickly. He is standing next to two petite women who looked pleased at your entrance
“Y/N -ssi , this is Mrs Hwang, our makeup team head and this is Mrs. Shin, our production team head.”
You bow your head to greet both of them. “Y/N-ah, welcome to hybe. I hope you don’t mind us calling you that.” Mrs Hwang said, grinning.
“Oh no no. Mrs Hwang. It would be my honour,” you quickly denied.
“Aigoo such a sweet girl. I hope we get along well. If you have any problems, do not hesitate to contact us, okay sweetheart?” said Mrs Shin.
“Thank you so much for your warm welcome Mrs. Hwang & Mrs Shin. I will try and work up to your expectations.” You bow again, smiling this time. All your nervousness thrown out of the window now because of these sweet ladies.
“Ah! Practice is finally over. Sejin Hyung, what are you doing here?” a voice asked. You looked over your shoulder to see that the boys had finished their practice and were making their way towards you. Okay, not you… pd-nim.
“Yes, I was here to introduce the staff to our new addition- meet Ms Y/N, new intern here. She will be assisting me here onwards.”
In an instant, the focus was on you. Your nervousness came back with full force and you couldn’t help but feel shy. You bow down politely and introduce yourself again, finally meeting all of their eyes. You couldn’t believe your eyes. They were so handsome! The photoshoots don’t do any justice to them, you suddenly feel.
Then, they start introducing themselves one by one. You shyly smile at them while they do so. They are just how they show themselves on camera, you think. Jungkook, being the introvert, gave you a small smile- Jimin, with his cute eye smile- Taehyung with his boxy smile- jhope with the brightest smile I had ever seen- yoongi with the tired tight lipped smile (omo breadcheeks) - and jin who looked the most mature of them all.
Suddenly, you became aware of a stare and you looked up, meeting a beautiful pair of dragon eyes. He stood there, as if in a trance. Jin nudged him with his shoulder, telling him to introduce himself. He stepped forward and put out his hand for me to shake.
“Hi. I’m Namjoon, the leader of bts.” He said.
I courageously moved my hand forward to shake his. As soon as our hands met, I felt a piercing pain in my left shoulder and chest. Both of us recoiled as if we were burnt by each other’s touch. He was looking at me with wide eyes, his hand clutching his left shoulder. I’m sure my expression mirrored his.
There was pin drop silence in the room, all people too stunned to talk.
Pd-nim was the first one to speak. He cleared his throat before saying, “Okay, this was unexpected. I would like Y/N and Namjoon to follow me please. Other members will go ahead with their practice as scheduled.”
Dumbfounded, both of us followed pd-nim to another room- an awkward distance between us. He asked us to stay put till he comes back. Sitting down on a chair silently, I went over what had just happened a few minutes back. I could not believe it! THE KIM NAMJOON, LEADER OF BTS was my soulmate! I was so busy in my thoughts that I almost missed HIM call out my name. ALMOST.
“Y/N?”, his deep but sweet voice caused me look up. He looked calm now, and had a small smile playing on his lips.
“yes?” I replied, still nervous. He could tell that by the way my fingers were fidgeting.
“I guess. Just a little shocked.”
He chuckled. ‘OMG! He’s so cute! And those dimples! I’m not dreaming right? Wait, let me pinch myself,’ I thought to myself. As if he was reading my thoughts, he said “It’s not a dream don’t worry. I am your soulmate and you are mine.”
Suddenly shy, he looked down at his hands, “You know, I always dreamt of how my soulmate would be. How beautiful she must be, how her smile will be…and now that I have seen you,” he takes a breath “you are more beautiful and gorgeous than I ever imagined.” He moved towards me and takes a seat on the chair beside mine. He took my hands in his and looked into my eyes. “Y/N, I know our fates are intertwined and all that, but will you give me the honour of letting me into your life? I want to know you, understand you, and experience the real you. If you let me.”
I gushed. I shyly smiled at him, “It would be my honour Namjoon-ssi.”
Suddenly the door flew open, and bang pd-nim entered. I immediately stood up and bowed to him. He studied me and Namjoon carefully first and then- “I cannot permit this relationship.” He stated.
Confused, Namjoon asked, “Why? We are soulmates. You cannot just deny our relationship. We are linked forever by this bond!”, pointing towards his tattoo.
“I know how soulmates work Namjoon. However, we must also keep in mind that you are an idol. You are a celebrity, an international one at that. You are at the peak of your career right now. I cannot risk anything-neither your career nor your life. This will change everything Namjoon. I’m sorry, but you will have to understand. It isn’t fair to the other members as well. Miss Y/N will be removed from her job here. Though you don’t have to worry, I have already spoken to jyp entertainment, they are happy to give you a similar job there. That way, both of you will stay away from each other.”
I could feel my ears tearing up. The soulmate- for whom I was waiting my whole life- was in front of me right now, but I was already being pulled away from him. Though, somewhere my mind knew that what band pd-nim was saying was right. Namjoon was the leader of bts. He influenced and saved lives of so many people through his music and speeches. And I was one of them. I stood nowhere against the unlimited love he received from army. He will choose bts. No. He should choose bts.
I was about to agree with pd-nim when Namjoon suddenly banged his palms against the table. He looked angry. “You are indirectly making me choose, aren’t you?” he looked straight into pd-nim’s eyes. “I have given almost 8 years of my life to bighit and bts. I have always prioritized bts. They’re my family. So I know they will support me. And they will be happy for me. But I need your support too. I can do both pd-nim, believe me. I will work just as hard. But I can’t leave my soulmate, not when she’s already here” he said, pleadingly- his hand still holding mine.
A tear dropped on my cheek and I hastily wiped it away. I squeezed Namjoon’s hand, making him look at me. I melted by the look on his face- so caring and professional at the same time. Both of us stood hand in hand in front of band pd-nim. All of a sudden, pd-nim smiled at us. “Good. That is what I wanted to hear. I’m sorry Y/N-ssi and Namjoon-ah. Although I know you, many people change drastically after meeting their soulmates so I had to check if your priorities have changed here.” he sighed, “I have no opposition to your soulmate bond. You can keep your relationship secret and announce to the public later, or you can announce it now. Your decision, just inform me beforehand so I can make proper arrangements.”
He looked at me and said, smiling, “Welcome to our family, Y/N-ssi. Congratulations on the bond. You’ve got a wonderful soulmate. I wish you both well.” With this, he turned round and left the room.
As soon as he left, the other 6 bts members came tumbling inside, with huge smiles on their faces. They congratulated Namjoon and me for our bond.
“Ah Y/N-ssi. Please take care of our Namjoon hyung. You know how clumsy he is… wait, are you an army?” asked jimin.
Shyly, you nodded. A series of oo’s and ah’s followed.
“Who is your bias then? Surely it must be joon-ah” hoseok winked at me.
“Umm no, actually.” I said, bashfully. “my bias is Seokjin-ssi.” Blood rushed to my ears as they starting teasing Namjoon over it. I looked up to see Namjoon looking at me with a quirked eyebrow, slightly unhappy. “Does it matter really? I am her soulmate and she is mine. Isn’t that enough?” he huffed, pulling me towards him in the process. I bump into his chest by the action. It causes the others to tease the both of us more. Namjoon was quick to silence them and make them move them out of the room. When we were finally left alone, he walked towards me with an irritated expression. “Sorry about them, you know how they are, considering you are army” he paused, “why is jin hyung your bias?” he asked.
Shrugging, I said “He is handsome. Plus his voice- his voice is so angelic. Why? Are you jealous?” I joked.
“Yes. I am jealous.” He said. He pulled me closer by my waist and looked straight into my eyes. My breath hitched. “I am your soulmate, your boyfriend. But he is your bias, of course I am jealous. How dare you call some other man handsome in front of me, huh?”
With newfound confidence, I draped my arms around his neck, “That was before, Namjoon-ah. Now, you are the only man in my eyes and in my heart. This,” I pointed towards my tattoo which was peeking through my shirt, “is the symbol that I belong to you forever. That we will remain forever.” He smiled.
“Okay then, my forever, would you care to have a cup of coffee with me? I believe we have a lot to discuss.” He asked.
Giggling, I separated myself from him and held his hand in mine. “Lead the way Namjoon-ssi.”
