BTS Soulmate AU-First Words
This is a sort of reverse harem. Don't like; don't read.
Yoongi glared down at his romantic soulmate mark that was still black. It wasn't fair. Why were his words so ordinary?
I'll be with you in one moment.
He heard those words at least once a day, and yet they were still black.
He glanced over at Hobi. Why were his words average while Hoseok's were not? I swear I've never seen anyone as hyper as you. There was not a single person who had ever said those words to Hoseok in his life, so he knew that his person would be special...Yoongi's on the other hand…..
He glared down at his words again. Yep...his soulmate was a definite pain in the butt.
Sarina glared down at her romantic's mark. How freaking dare her soulmate?! When she was younger, before she'd learned Korean, she'd thought it was beautiful. But...ever since she'd learned Korean four years ago, she'd been angry at her future soulmate.
Hey, shortie, why don't you loosen up a little?
Like no! Seriously, who did he think he was, J-Hope? Strike that...she didn't even think that she'd accept something like this from one of the BTS boys, not that they'd ever say anything like that.
But...hers was better than Dani's. Dani's said That's not what I expected.
Frankly, Dani had not been pleased when she'd learned Korean and read her soulmark for the first time.
And, of course, Valerie's was not at all like theirs. Valerie's was normal.
Hello, darling, could you tell me your name?
And then, there were the others...the ones that the rest of the world couldn't see immediately. Both Valerie and Sarina had one more romantic soulmate mark while poor Dani had another two. And, what made it worse, was that these were only the romantic ones. Dani had four unclaimed platonics, and Valerie and Sarina had five each.
The day they had realized that they each had seven soulmates that all spoke Korean was the day that they had become best friends.
Namjoon looked down at his unclaimed soulmarks. There were three: two platonics and one romantic. He wasn't sure how he felt about that. Although he enjoyed his other six platonics, he wasn't sure he could handle another two.
Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, he started walking toward the practice room, until he suddenly collided with someone.
"Save the coffee!" Namjoon instinctively tried to catch the drink tray that the person dropped.
Thankfully, he made it, and, as he straightened up, he realized that this person was one of his platonics.
Smirking, he decided to have a little fun, "Since I saved them, does that mean I get one?"
The girl lifted her head and snorted in disdain. "Don't push your luck, soulmate. You may be my platonic, but that doesn't mean I'm just gonna give you coffee. If my friends agree, then, and only then, will I give you a coffee."
Namjoon grinned, "I can be pretty persuasive when I wanna be. I'll come with you."
She smirked at him but didn't deny his help. "So...what's your name?"
He raised his eyebrows, "You work in this building, and you don't know my name?"
"A little full of yourself, aren't you?"
Before he could respond, she continued, "Today's my first day at this job, and my third total day in this country."
Namjoon "ooh'd" in understanding and then said, "My name is Namjoon, and I'm the leader of BTS."
"Oh! I've heard of you!"
Namjoon wondered how he was supposed to take that, but before he could come up with anything to say, she moved on.
"I'm Dani, by the way. Nice to meet you."
They continued to talk as they walked until, finally, that made it to where her friends were.
Dani breezed in, "Hey, guys; I've brought the nectar of the gods."
They both looked up, smiles wide on their faces.
Namjoon looked between the two girls grabbing coffee before finally walking over to the hot blonde.
"So, I'm your savior so can I have one?"
She looked down towards the romantic soulmark that had just lit up with colors, and was still covered by the waistband of her pants, and then back up at him.
"All these years waiting for context, and I still have no clue what you just meant."
Namjoon's face lit up, "You're my soulmate!"
She laughed, "I am, but I'm still waiting for context."
He was way too excited to speak coherently, and Dani stepped in to explain, going into how they met and that Namjoon was her platonic.
"Oh, so you're Namjoon? Does that mean you're part of...BTS? Is that how you say it?"
Namjoon nodded happily, ignoring the fact that she had also had no clue who he was.
"Since you already know my name, can you tell me yours?"
"I'm Valerie. It's nice to meet you, soulmate."
They seemed to get lost in each other for a while before Sarina interrupted them.
"I'm glad that you're their soulmates, but we have work to do."
"Ah! So you're the last one."
Sarina rolled her eyes, "Apparently, but that doesn't change the fact that we're busy."
Dani nodded, "Yeah, we were hired to design clothes for someone here at BigHit Entertainment, and, since we're supposed to be meeting them in ten minutes, we have to go!"
Dani turned around, collecting three big bags off the ground while Sarina grabbed Val. "We'll see you later!"
Namjoon watched dumbfoundedly as they left, "What just happened?"
"So you pretended you had no clue who he was?"
Laughter erupted from the three girls as they walked towards the room they were supposed to be in, Dani trying desperately to catch her breath so she could answer.
"Yes, but I've never been so grateful that we had a code phrase for Namjoon as I was today...nectar of the gods….hahahahah….and it even fit the situation so well!"
Still laughing, they walked into the room they were supposed to be in, only to see all of BTS, except Namjoon, already there.
Their dumbfounded faces just made the three girls laugh harder.
Finally, they managed to get their laughter under control.
"Sorry, we just met one of our soulmates, and it made us extremely happy."
Before anyone could ask what they meant, Namjoon walked in, and his face lit up when he saw them.
He quickly hugged Dani and Sarina before moving to Valerie and pulling her close to him and holding her tightly.
Dani rolled her eyes at them before speaking to the group. "Please line up so we can get your measurements."
Dani moved over to Jimin while asking Sarina to start with the other side. Nodding, Sarina headed over to Taehyung.
Dani held her measuring tape up to Jimin, writing down the numbers.
Jimin, not liking the awkward silence, decided to speak up. "I heard that your studio was called BTS designs?
Instantly, the three girls collapsed in laughter again.
Jimin, although confused, continued on, "Why is that?"
After Dani finally got her laughter under control, she said, "Well, your words are the main reason, soulmate."
His eyes widened as he recognized his own romantic's soulmark.
Dani continued, "Well, at the time, we had no clue what BTS stood for, so, in a fit of annoyance when we were bored and tired and feeling stupid, we took those three words and made them our own. So our studio is named Bored, Tired, Stupid Designs."
Valerie nodded, continuing, "So technically, it's your fault."
Although he spoke to Valerie, "I'm sorry?", all of his attention was placed on the girl who had been revealed as his romantic soulmate.
She was measuring his legs at the moment, having already finished his torso and arms, and he found himself wondering what his soulmate thought of the measurements she was taking.
Did she think he was too small? Too fat? Too tall? Too skinny?
Before he could continue to panic, Dani stood up, placing a quick kiss on his cheek. "Talk to you again when I'm done?"
His heart leaped up, and all of his panicked thoughts melted away, as he nodded enthusiastically.
Sarina glanced at Tae. She hated awkward silences, and this definitely counted as one.
Before she could say anything though, Taehyung looked down at her, "What's your name?"
"I'm Sarina, and yours?"
My name is Taehyung; nice to meet you, platonic."
Sarina laughed, "Do you even know how many times I've heard that in my life. I gave up checking it long ago because it never showed even the slightest hint of changing."
Tae rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, "I'm sorry."
Valerie interrupted them from her place in Namjoon's arms, "Oh, ignore her; she's just messing with you."
Tae smiled happily, "I never knew my last two platonics were so closely related."
Sarina and Valerie rolled their eyes, "We're only sisters."
That surprised all of BTS. "You guys are sisters?"
Dani spoke up as she measured Jin, "Technically, I'm their sister as well since their Mum adopted me."
Eyes wide, Jin looked down at her, "Did your family die?"
"At the moment, no; although that platonic soulmark scared me so much."
Jin winced, "My bad."
She shook her head, "It's okay; it's actually the reason Mum adopted me."
Sarina moved on from Taehyung to Hoseok, but he was almost vibrating he had so much energy.
After two minutes of trying to take measurements anyway, she sighed, "I swear I've never seen anyone as hyper as you."
Hobi glanced down at her with amusement in his eyes, "Hey, shortie, why don't you loosen up a little?"
She glared up at him, "Shortie? Loosen up?! How am I supposed to take accurate measurements when you're basically vibrating?"
Hoseok felt slightly guilty and tried desperately to stay still for his romantic soulmate.
Meanwhile, Valerie finally escaped Namjoon's hug, and she headed over to Jungkook to take his measurements.
As she took measurements, Valerie tried desperately to keep her expression from changing. Jungkook was way too hot to be this close to, especially since they seemed to be trending BTS soulmates right now.
Jungkook smirked down at her, "Hello, darling, could you tell me your name?"
She glanced up at him from where she was kneeling, taking his legs' measurements. "Hello, soulmate; I'm Valerie."
Jungkook's pulse quickened, and, although her words had a part in that, her position below him was the main reason.
Although he was excited that he had finally found his romantic, he was also understandably nervous as he glanced at Namjoon, "You're my romantic soulmate?"
Thankfully, Namjoon didn't seem too jealous, and he breathed a sigh of relief just as Valerie answered, "I am, but if you don't want that, we could try to be platonics instead…?"
Jungkook's eyes widened. "No!" He quickly dropped to his knees beside her, "I want you!"
Realizing what he had said, he blushed furiously as she leaned in and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Okay, I guess I'll keep you then." She smiled widely to take any sting out of her words.
"Lovin' the romantic atmosphere you two have going, but we're still busy."
Realizing that the redhead was his platonic soulmate, he turned to her, "Didn't you want to spend time with your romantic?" He gestured to Jimin, who blushed furiously.
She raised an eyebrow at him, "Of course, but we have eight more appointments today alone. We're busy, you're busy. We have to hurry if we want to be able to spend any free time together."
Jungkook nodded, and, reluctantly, he let Valerie move back over towards Namjoon. She glared at Namjoon, "Now, I'm going to take your measurements and that is all!"
Pouting, Namjoon stood extremely still.
Meanwhile, Yoongi was about to fall asleep. He headed over to the nearest seat, but Dani cleared her throat, glaring at him. "I'll be with you in a moment."
He started, both at the revelation that she was his soulmate and the fact that his words had not been spoken in the tone he had expected them to be spoken.
"That's not what I expected."
Dani turned to look at him, almost completely expressionless. "That? Am I a thing?"
She turned away from him with a "hmph". "Sarina, will you deal with him?"
Sarina, who had finally managed to finish with a hyper-vibrating Hoseok, nodded, heading over to Yoongi.
Saddened, Suga asked her, "Did I make her extremely angry?"
Glancing between Dani and Yoongi, she leaned in close. "She's been bullied all of her life by those who realized that she was called a 'that'. I think it's sort of understandable that she's angry."
Feeling horrible, Suga glanced over at his romantic soulmate. She was frowning while writing down the measurements for Jin on a piece of paper. She never once even glanced at him.
Jin, bored now that no one was measuring him, and understanding, though only slightly what Yoongi was going through since he had also had a rude soulmark, walked over to Sarina and Suga.
"I think that you'll probably be able to get into her good books if you work at it. She's probably just upset because of all the bullying she's gotten from it."
Suga nodded, slightly relieved after Jin had consoled him.
Jin, seeing that Yoongi would be okay, turned to Sarina. He'd already realized that these three girls seemed to be a soulmate, whether romantic or platonic, to all of them, and so he jokingly asked, "So, princess, are you my romantic or platonic soulmate?"
Sarina glanced up at him, and then looked around, soon realizing why he'd said that, and laughed. "I'm neither." Just because he was her romantic soulmate that didn't mean that she couldn't tease him.
Jin's eyes widened, and he had to restrain himself from hugging her instantly. "That's not really how I imagined that being said."
"Well, I thought that I was gonna get an old, pervy sleazeball, so I think we're just about even."
Jin's expression changed into one of mock horror, "I am a beautiful young man. I can't believe you'd even imply that about me!"
Sarina rolled her eyes, but there was a fond smile on her face, and Jin grinned, happy that he'd managed to make her laugh.
They had finally finished all their measurements, and the girls had managed to pack away all their stuff. The boys gathered around their soulmates, hoping to get a chance to talk to them, but before they could say anything, Dani glanced at her phone and groaned.
"We only have twenty minutes to get to our next appointment, so we have to go. Bye!"
They waved and left before the boys could even ask when they would meet again or even attempt to get their phone numbers.
The BTS members looked at each other wondering what to do, especially since only one of them hadn't found his romantic soulmate yet.
Tae, although extremely excited that he had found his last two platonics, was trying desperately not to cry as he realized that he was the only who still had to find his romantic.
Jimin was the first to move to comfort him, but the others weren't far behind. However, nothing they said could raise his spirits, and eventually, he excused himself to go to bed.
Once he had left the room, they stared at each other, and by common, unspoken, consent, they divided into three groups: Hoseok and Jin, Jungkook and Namjoon, and Jimin and Yoongi.
Jin glanced over at Hobi. He opened his mouth and then closed it, wondering what to say.
Hobi rolled his eyes, "I don't mind sharing Sarina with you, but anyone else…"
Jin grinned an evil little grin and gave an emphatic nod of agreement.
Jungkook, although slightly nervous, glared at Namjoon, absolutely refusing to give Valerie up.
Namjoon chuckled, "I don't have a problem sharing her with her other romantic."
Jungkook's sigh of relief sent Namjoon into peals of laughter.
Yoongi and Jimin simply glanced at each other before instantly beginning to plan the demise of anyone who tried to Dani away from them.
Jin, Hobi, Namjoon, and Jungkook all looked worriedly at the seemingly black aura rising from them and took a couple steps away from them discreetly.
It had been over a week since BTS had seen their soulmates, and they were beginning to think that they weren't wanted.
Their manager sighed as they once again made mistakes on a dance that they'd had memorized for years. Instead of trying again, they all just collapsed to the floor and moped.
Knowing that there was only one thing that he could do to bring their spirits up, he left the room. After searching through his phone, he finally found the correct number and called it.
He had a short conversation, and when he hung up, his grin was wider than it had been in a long time.
He walked down to the lobby, and it wasn't much longer before a girl walked into the lobby, looking for him.
Walking over to her, she glanced at him. "The others shouldn't take more than an hour to get here."
He nodded, and they headed up to the practice room together. As she was about to open the door to the room, she noticed Taehyung walking toward her. Realizing that she hadn't had a chance to greet him the last day they'd been here, she stopped and smiled at him.
"Hey, handsome, sorry I didn't have a chance to talk to you earlier."
His face lit up with his signature boxy grin before he attacked her with a hug. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
Realizing that he was her third, and final, romantic soulmate, she relaxed her tense posture and laughed with him.
After noticing that the two had fallen into their own little world, the manager discreetly coughed. "The others miss you too."
Tae blushed but refused to let go of Dani's hand.
Dani sighed; having three romantic soulmates was gonna be a bit of a pain. Yes, she had known that she was gonna have three for as long as she could remember, but that didn't mean that she was prepared to have her three soulmates be BTS members! Especially since one of them was her bias (Tae)!
When she was little, she'd hoped that she wouldn't have them all at the same time, but that seemed to be too much for whatever fate gave the world soulmates. Was she complaining that she had three members of BTS as soulmates? No!
She just wished that she could have a tiny bit of warning because as it was, she'd almost had a heart attack when she found out that Taehyung was her soulmate as well.
Whatever; it wasn't as if she could change anything, so, with Tae still holding tightly onto her hand, she walked into the practice room.
As soon as she stepped foot in the door, Jimin's and Yoongi's faces lit up. Their manager had said that there was a visitor, but they had not expected it to be their soulmate. However, they stopped moving towards her when they noticed that Taehyung was holding tightly onto her hand.
They stared, confused as to why they weren't feeling jealous when Taehyung cheered. "Dani's my romantic!"
She laughed at him lovingly as he did a strange little happy dance.
Her other two soulmates came closer, Jimin confidently taking her other hand while Yoongi stood, nervously, in front of her. Would she accept him?
Dani rolled her eyes at him, "I was only slightly angry. That doesn't mean that I'm gonna abandon you. You're still my soulmate after all."
Relief flooded Yoongi, and he hugged her excitedly.
Grinning, she hugged him back, holding on until both Jimin and Tae whined, "I want a hug too~"
She sighed dramatically, "Fine. I guess I can hug you guys too~" She grinned as they both hugged her at the same time. As she turned to her platonics though, she caught the disappointed looks on their faces.
"Oh, they're coming. I was just closer. They should be here in less than an hour."
They cheered, but before they could celebrate too much, their manager asked them to continue practicing. They rolled their eyes but did anyway.
Dani sighed; how had she gotten roped into learning their choreography for this song?
Although she enjoyed watching the boys do body rolls and crotch grabs, she was a hot-blooded girl, after all, she didn't think that it would look as good on a girl. But, Taehyung and Jimin had hit her with their puppy eyes and she was a goner.
So...here she was, trying to learn the male choreography to her soulmates' song.
Although her romantics seemed to be enjoying the sight of her doing body rolls and crotch grabs, she was literally dying of embarrassment.
So, it was with great relief that she heard the song "Mic Drop" sounding from her phone. She answered it, ignoring the questioning stares from the seven boys in the rooms.
"Val? Where are you guys?"
She walked out of the room so that she could get away from the lingering sense of embarrassment that she still felt.
"Oh? You're downstairs? Well, then why haven't you come upstairs yet?"
She rolled her eyes. "Fine, I'm coming down. I'll be there in a second."
Jimin poked his head out of the practice room just in time to see that she was headed downstairs.
Frowning, he quickly headed out after her, and the other boys, noticing that Jimin had left the room, quickly followed.
Soon, they were all in the lobby, but when they looked around they couldn't see Jimin or Dani anywhere.
Worried now, they began to discreetly search throughout the lobby before suddenly seeing them carrying in a few giant boxes in through the front doors.
The rest of the boys quickly headed over to help them, but Dani stopped them. "Val and Rina are outside and they need help. Can you help them instead?"
The boys lit up, and they quickly headed out to help their romantics.
Jin walked over to Val who was struggling, smirking when Namjoon and Jungkook frowned at him. "Would you like some help?"
Valerie laughed at him, "Are you just trying to make my soulmates jealous?"
"Yes, I am. Glad that I finally found you. It's been so awkward all these years."
She smirked at him, "Were you a flirt because of that soulmark? Or because you wanted to be?"
Jin laughed, "Maybe~" He took the box from her, and walked past Namjoon and Jungkook with a wink.
Sarina called out to Jungkook, "Would you stop glaring at Jin and get your butt in gear?"
"But he was deliberately doing that!"
"Listen here, platonic; that was them becoming platonics, so just go with it and help."
"Oh." Jungkook came and grabbed a box, feeling slightly embarrassed.
Yoongi walked over to the truck at the same time as Valerie. "Oh, excuse me."
"It's okay; do you need any more help?"
"Ah, I could definitely still use some help; thank you so much!"
Yoongi smirked, "Of course; I'm always willing to help out my platonics."
Valerie rolled her eyes, "You didn't even know that I was your platonic until just now."
Suga grinned, "So?"
Valerie pushed him lightly on the back, "Oh just go, will you?"
By this time, Dani and Jimin had come back from putting their boxes in the elevator, and Jimin asked, "Are there still boxes left or are we good?"
Shaking her head, Sarina laughed, "Three girls are moving all their things and you think that there are only nine boxes?"
Valerie laughed, "Honey, there's definitely over a hundred."
Jimin's eyes widened, "Really?"
Dani nodded, "Your platonics wouldn't lie to you. I wouldn't either…"
Suddenly, she trailed off and all three girls looked at each other uncomfortably. Hoseok, having walked up in time to catch the end of Dani's sentence, narrowed his eyes.
"Dani? Valerie? Sarina? Something you want to tell us?"
Dani laughed sheepishly, "Well, you see, Hobi…."
Valerie continued where she trailed off, "We actually…..really…..really…."
"Might stan BTS?" Sarina finally managed to complete the sentence.
Dani gave a tiny wave, "Sorry for lying to you and pretending we had no clue who you were?"
The boys were confused. "Why?"
"Well, we were pretty sure that it would not be a good thing for any of us if it was known that Armies were the ones making your clothes this time. And, honestly, we never, not even for a second, considered that we would see you guys again after we delivered the finished clothes so we figured it wouldn't be a problem."
"But, obviously, we're soulmates with all of you, whether romantic or platonic, and so, it became really awkward and hard to tell you that we lied, and were holding ourselves back from asking for autographs?"
The boys glanced at each other while the girls fidgeted with their fingers, wondering if the boys were gonna kick them out or something because the silence was extending extremely far, and it was becoming more than just a little awkward.
Finally, the girls couldn't take it any longer. "If you don't want us anymore, all you have to do is tell us. We can leave immediately, and you'll ever see us again."
Instantly the boys leaped forward, "NO!"
The girls, taken aback, flinched, but the boys just gently grabbed their hands. "Please, don't leave us. You're our soulmates, and we don't want to ever lose you."

Extended Ending
"Wait, all your stuff?" Yoongi's hopes lifted.
"PD Bang said that it would be dangerous for the soulmates of BTS if Army ever found out, so we have been invited to live with you guys in your dorm. That's why it took us so long to see you guys again."
The girls almost lost their hearing from the boys' loud cheers.
