We all sat in the living room being briefed by their manager. After our episode last night the company decided to push up the reveal date and will be holding a press conference in one week, a week before the guys go on their month long vacation from work.

I listened but my mind was racing with a thousand thoughts and I couldn't focus like I should have but I got the gist of what was going to happen. It made me nervous. Before, I was all for revealing us and letting the chips fall where they may but now that it was finally going to happen I was scared, mostly for myself. I'm not famous, I barely take photos because I don't want any unnecessary attention and soon I will be thrusted in the claws of the public and media.

"Any questions?" Sejin clapped his hands, jolting me from my thoughts. I raised my hand

"Umm do I have to be on the stage with them? I'm not sure I can handle that much attention" Yoongi rubbed my arm, he and I sat on the floor and I was sitting between his legs.

"We will do our best to prepare you for it Ms. Choi but to answer your question, yes you will need to be standing with them" Sejin replied with a sympathetic look on his face. I nodded to show I understood

"Okay, thanks" Yoongi's arms wrapped around me making me feel less anxious

"You will be great baby, we will be there with you every step of the way"

"I can try to request that they limit their questions to you if you think that will help" The manager offered

"I think that would be a good idea" Namjoon spoke up

"Alright. That's everything I have for you all today and I will see you in two days back at work"

With Sejin gone it was now just me and the guys sitting in silence. Jin's parents only stayed for a few hours once they knew he was safe and would be returning to work in a couple of days. I briefly met them and it was no wonder where Jin got his looks from, the whole family is gorgeous.

I got up to get some water, grabbing a few extra bottles in case any of them wanted one. I returned to see Jin standing up with his hands on his hips and chewing his bottom lips. I passed out the bottles and was about to sit back down with Yoongi when Namjoon grabbed my wrist.

"Jin has something to say, sit here please"

"Oh, okay" I sat on the sofa where Jin was previously sitting and looked up at him, he looked like he was about to cry and it made me sad.

I don't know why it did but even if he hates me I can't feel that way about him. I pray that with time he will at least accept me.

"I am so, so sorry for the way I have been acting towards you" he started which took me by surprise

Damn, I didn't think prayer worked that fast.

"I haven't been myself lately and I was taking it out on you which is wrong and I am really sorry about it but I do have a reason and I hope you understand"

"Oh, it's okay Jin thank you for the apology but you do need to explain" I fidgeted with my fingers unable to look at him for fear that I might burst into tears

He took a step toward me, placing his finger under my chin he tipped my head back "Yes I do, just hear me out"

I nodded now, unable to speak with him so close. He took a deep breath and blinked slowly before exhaling then he started explaining everything from the beginning. My mind was racing trying to keep with his explanation and put the pieces where they belonged. He's known about me, this whole time. For almost twelve years Jin has known who I am and where I was but never tried to find me. That stung a little but I soon got over it when he explained his health situation. I felt bad for putting him through that even though it was involuntary.

"No, baby, please don't start feeling bad, okay? It wasn't your fault and I don't blame you" Jin dropped to his knees in front of me and grabbed my hands, an electric shock zapped us both"

"Ouch" we said at the same time

"Are you alright?" He asked, hesitantly taking my hand again

"Yeah, I'm-" my sentence cut short when I felt myself buzzing, my eyebrows came together as I gripped Jim's arm "Do you feel that?"

"Yeah, I do," he looked down at where my hand touched his arm then back at me. We stared at each other for a few seconds then my vision was blurry but just for a moment then it cleared up and the buzzing faded.

"What just happened?"

"I think we finally connected and our link is established," he smiled. I reached up to touch his beautiful face and felt my heart melt "Ma-ri I am so sorry for the way I treated you. It was unfair to you and I was being stubborn and selfish. I really hope you can forgive me and I will wait however long it takes for you to do so. I love you. I love you so much and I am so happy you're here and we are finally complete"

And here come the tears! "Jin, I-" he cut me off and stood up again

"Let me finish explaining and they you can tell me"

"Okay" Namjoon pulled me beside him and wiped my face with the sleeve of his shirt.

Jin went on to further explain the medication and how it affected him and made him act so unlike himself. He apologized to everyone as a group with a full bow asking for everyone's forgiveness. There wasn't a dry eye in the house. None of the guys knew about Jin's situation and were in awe of how dire it became because he didn't speak up sooner. I think some of them felt guilty for not being able to spot the changes in his behavior sooner and others didn't think it was as serious as it was.

"I do not want any of you feeling guilty because at the end of the day I knew I had a problem and chose to keep it to myself. You couldn't help me without knowing so stop thinking like that right now. I am really, really sorry to everyone in this room. I love you all so much and I swear I will never put us in a situation like this ever again" Jin sobbed

Jungkook got up from his heat and pulled Seokjin off the floor, throwing his arms around his eldest soulmate. He embraced him with all his strength, the older male was being crushed by the baby but allowed him to hold him anyway.

"Hyung, it's okay, it's okay. I forgive you and I love you too" he kissed his forehead "Don't keep beating yourself up over this"

"I'm so sorry," Jin chanted.

I had no idea he was struggling so much. Even though some of it was self-inflicted I couldn't be mad at him. If I was in his shoes I might have done the same things or worse, at one point I wanted to kill my self so the pain would stop. So how could I criticize him for wanting his pain to stop too?

"Jin?" I called him. Jungkook released him and sat down again, cuddling into Jimin's side. I stood and pulled him in for a hug as well "I'm not mad at you"

The dam crumbled and he cried harder, his tears soaked my shirt and shoulder. His body shook as he let it all out so I made sure to hold him until he was done while rubbing his back. I could finally feel him, in every way and it was incredible. I felt his emotional and mental turmoil melting away and his physical body relax, actually it was more like I was absorbing it. I temporarily felt his pain before it dissolved leaving us both in mutual peace and calmness.

"Thank you Ma-ri" he said loud enough for only me to hear "You're my remedy"

"I'm sorry you suffered the way you did"

"It really was not your fault"

"Still, I hate that because of me you went through such a tough time." He pulled away but remained close. I reached up to wipe his eye, "I forgive you too. Who's to say what any of us would have done if we were faced with this same dilemma so don't put any more energy into the past. We're good"

"I love you so much" he whispered into my whispered when he pulled me in for another hug "Tell me in your own time, I'm not going anywhere"

"I know" Next thing I felt were several bodies encasing us in a group hug

"I'm so happy right now" Taehyung sniffled "I love you all so much"

"We love you too Tae!" Yoongi replied as we all disconnected

"Oh I almost forgot," Jin said with a snap of his fingers

"Forgot wh-" My question was cut short by his lips, crashing into mine and his tongue snaking into my mouth. I kissed him back with matched enthusiasm, ending with a few lingering pecks to my lips he spoke with bated breath

"Seventh," He said. I simply smiled at him and kissed his luscious lips again before letting him go.

I was still reeling from the night before only to have an information bomb go off in the face not even twenty four hours later. I felt a lot of things throughout the course of the day as I kept replaying everything in my mind but the strongest feeling I felt was relief.

It was relieving to know Seokjin didn't hate me, a relief to know he in fact loved me and wanted me like everyone else. I was starting to think we'd end up in a situation like my parents but I'm beyond relieved to know that is not and will NEVER be our case. After our pow wow the atmosphere in the house shifted and it finally started to feel like home.

A couple days later the guys were back to work and this time I was with them. We were preparing for the press conference that was only five days away. I was still extremely nervous even though everyone kept assuring me that I would be fine, I couldn't believe I would be. This was me going public not only as the girlfriend of the members of the biggest male group of the century but also as a soulmate, their soulmate. My life was already crazy and it was about to become hell.

"What are you in such deep thought about?" Hobi asked, sitting down next to me against the mirrored wall

"Everything" I weakly smiled at him, putting my head on his shoulder "I'm scared Hope"

"I know and I know we keep saying it will be okay because it will but it'll also be psychotic but only for a short while. People are going to freak out and say mean and awful things about you and us but you know what's going to make it alright?"

"What?"

"Knowing that at the start and end of every single day the seven of you will still be my soulmates, my best friends, and the loves of my life. Nothing anyone same will change the fact that we are literally destined to be together for the rest of our lives. You are stronger than you may think you are Ma-ri, you've been through so much already and came out of the darkness shining brighter than before. This will be no different"

"Thank you Hoseok. Overall I know you're right but being famous was never something I aspired to be so I'm just uncomfortable with the idea of being in front of cameras but I don't like feeling as if I'm hiding"

"After the press conference you are going to be the hottest topic for a while but like everything else, the hype will die down and life will go on. People are going to find something else to fixate on, it's a silly cycle"

"I get it, it's just a part of the process. I'm going to try to be a big girl and tough it out as best as I can"

"That's all we can ask of you. Lay one on me" I gave him a smooch on his cheek "Are you staying here or going back home?"

"Home, I am tired and really just want to sleep"

"Okay, get some rest jagiya" He hugged me and sent me off with a kiss on my forehead.

After saying bye to everyone I was dropped off at home where I crawled into my bed, sinking into the softness of my mattress and passing out within the minute.
