"I want sleep" Taehyung whined as I stopped him from going to his bedroom

"This will only take a minute Tae, we're all tired" Yoongi responded

"So, I was thinking about getting put on birth control. I mentioned it to Yoongi last night and he suggested I talk to all of you before I make my final decision. Birth control can sometimes really screw up a woman's body inside and out, so with my well-being in mind he is open to getting a vasectomy."

"Also this morning we were careless and I finished inside of her and it became apparent that we need a backup contraception method as well" he added, followed by a big yawn

"I don't really want to get a vasectomy but if it's the better option I will" Jin voiced his opinion

"Yeah, I'm not thrilled at the thought of getting cut on either but if you think taking birth control would be too dangerous then I'd consider it" Hoseok chimed in

"It's your body and ultimately your choice but I think birth control wouldn't be a bad idea. Lots of women take it without any problems" Namjoon spoke up next

"Do you think there's a chance you could be pregnant?" Jimin asked, with his head laid on Namjoon's shoulder

"I don't know. It's possible but too soon to know for sure" I answered with a shrug of my shoulders

"How about we ask the doctors when we go in for our appointment and we can make a decision based on what they tell us then. I'm too tired to think straight anymore" Jin suggested since everyone's heads kept bobbing and we kept yawning.

"Yes, let's do that" Taehyung piped up. He managed to stand up and shuffled his head down the hallway towards his room, closing the door behind him

"Goodnight to you too, you little shit!" Hobi shouted after him

"Goodnight everyone" We all dispersed. I'm pretty sure everyone slept in their own bed that night.

Although I was dead tired I stayed awake for almost an hour after getting into bed. My mind was working overtime analyzing everything that happened during the day and how my life would be different going forward.

***

The eight of us arrived at the private clinic looking more like a mob than patients. After getting checked we sat in the small waiting room waiting to be called back since we arrived fifteen minutes early (as you should).

"Are you going to ask for a pregnancy test today?" Yoongi asked. He sat directly across from me

"Too soon, it's only been two days. My period is supposed to come next week if it's late then I'll take one" he nodded and smiled

The room fell quiet after that. I think everyone was still tired. To have it done and out the way we secured the morning slots for our appointment which meant getting up earlier than you should on vacation.

"I can't wait to go home and get back in bed," Jin yawned which caused a chain reaction as each one of us yawned after seeing it done.

"Me either. I feel like I only slept for fifteen minutes before my alarm went off" Jimin mumbled behind his mask.

"We will be here for a while because everyone is getting a full physical and Ma-ri has to see the lady doctor too" Namjoon explained

Finally we were called back and I separated from the guys to see my new gynecologist first. The nurse took my vitals, weighed me and got me prepped for the doctor. I only waited maybe five minutes for her to come in after changing

"Good morning Ms. Choi, I'm Dr. Peng" she greeted me while washing her hands

"Nice to meet you and please call me Ma-ri" she smiled and looked down at my chart. I had my records from my doctors in the US sent over

"Okay Ma-ri, is there anything specific or abnormal you need to talk about today?"

"Yes, two things actually. First, I'm sure you know those seven men are my soulmates and I've had sex with three of them so far. Two days ago I had unprotected sex with Yoongi and we're wondering if I may be pregnant"

She nodded "Yes I'm aware, congratulations too. I always believed soulmates still existed"

"Thank you"

"Well it's too soon to do a pregnancy test, when was your last period"

"Three and half weeks ago. My next cycle should be next week"

"And are you regular? Do you skip periods or have you noticed any irregularities?" She asked typing away on her laptop

"No, I've never missed a period and it's always on time so far. I already told him it would be a while before we could check."

"Okay I'm going to put that in my notes and I will have my nurse make a tentative appointment for you in two weeks." I nodded to show I understood "And what was the second thing?"

"Because I am sexually active now I want to look into birth control options"

"Alright, we'll as a female soulmate you have two options. There is a bi-monthly home injection you can do yourself or a daily tablet you'd take by mouth" she explained pulling out two pamphlets

"Why can't I get an implant?"

"For some reason the implants deteriorate and cause blood poisoning so we no longer use them for you all"

"Wow" I replied with enlarged eyes

"Yeah, I wasn't practicing at the time because I was still in medical school but it was a disaster. I want you to take some time to think about which option would be better for you, the ingredients are the exact same just in different doses, obviously the injection being higher since it's taken less frequently. Some people don't like needles so they opt for the pill while others may be forgetful so the injection would be the better option. I'm also going to give you a trial pack of the pills"

"Okay, thank you"

"Lay back for me, I going to check your breasts" I did as she asked. "Raise your arm... okay and the other. Any lumps, bumps, bruises or discharge?"

"No"

"Alright now let's have a look inside" She washed her hands again, with everything already laid out, she put on her gloves and propped my legs up and open. That part is never not awkward. I know she's a medical professional and has probably seen hundreds of vaginas throughout her career, plus her own, but I still imagine she's judging mine.

"Ssss" I hissed and curled my toes. Pap smears, or any kind of cervical exam, are not comfortable and even though it is only a minute it's the longest minute ever. It's like a treadmill minute.

"Almost done"

"Ooh this is so uncomfortable"

"Okay, I'm done. Everything looks good down there. I'm just going to send a sample over to the lab anyway because you're a new patient and I like to be thorough. You can go ahead and get dressed now and when you're done just head down the hall first door on your right to see my husband. It was great to meet you and I'll see you in a couple weeks"

"You too. Thank you Dr. Peng" she grabbed her laptop and exited the room. When I was done dressing I followed her instructions and saw Jungkook heading the same direction

"Done already?" He asked when I was by his side

"Yeah, nothing out of the ordinary so it was a basic examination. Are we the last pair?"

"No, Yoongi, Tae, and Hoseok still need to be seen but we should still be done soon. Nothing has changed much amongst us, Jimin swears he grew but other than that we are perfectly fine"

"He desire to be tall is hilarious considering he completely takes advantage of being small" We share a laugh as we enter the doctor's office

"Ironic. Good morning Dr. Peng"

"Ah Jungkook, you get more handsome every time I see you" he spun around on his short stool and offered us the other chairs in the room "Hello Ms. Choi, it's a pleasure to meet you" he smiled big at me

"Hello, nice to meet you as well Dr. Peng"

"I can't believe you all are soulmates, that's incredible. How have you been feeling?"

Jungkook spoke first. He looked over at me with a faint smile "Personally, I'm good. It was a rough start when Ma-ri came but I think we are good now. On the road to being great"

"And how about you Ms. Choi?" Dr. Peng gave me his attention next

"Uh, I'm much better than I was a few months ago. I think Jungkook summed it up well. I have not had any panic attacks, no fainting spells or headaches, with the exception of two weeks ago, since I've been with them"

"Good, good. And two weeks ago is when you and Seokjin connected, right?"

"That's right"

Dr. Peng talked with us for a few more minutes and we were on our way. The last three guys had their appointments and we were going home a little more than an hour later. Back at the house I crashed on the couch and Hoseok did the same right next to me.

"Aren't you going back to bed too?" I asked

"Yeah, come with me?"

"Okay" I followed behind him as he held my hand, leading us to his bedroom.

I stripped down to just my panties and he gave me one of his oversized shirts to wear. Hoseok took off his pullover sweater and jeans which left him in a sleeveless undershirt and his briefs. We both climbed on the bed and buried ourselves beneath his sheets and blanket. He was laid on his back so I turned onto my side to face him a snack laid my head on his extended arm.

"Hey"

"Hey"

"Can I tell you something?"

"Anything"

"I love you."

"I love you too"

"And I'm sorry. I'm sorry I was so rude to you when you first came to us and that I ignored you"

"I already forgave you"

"I know but I never apologized and I felt bad about it. I'm really, really happy you're here and that you didn't treat me the way I treated you. Part of me was afraid of you but it was mostly jealousy"

"Why were you jealous of me?" I asked, moving my head to lay on his chest which prompted him to bring his arm down and around me

"Because you're different. You're something I'm not so I was threatened by your presence and the fact that most of us liked you right away. It's pretty obvious that, outside the romantic element, everyone has their own special friendship with one another and for me Yoongi is someone extremely special. He was putting so much time and focus on you I was resenting you for finding us"

"What helped you get over it or changed your mind?"

"You. Being emotionally connected to you helped me understand you better. Seeing the way Jin-hyung would treat you would piss me off until I realized I wasn't acting much different than he was so I allowed myself to tune in to you and I felt so much sadness. All your emotions raged inside of you like an angry bull and it hurt my heart to know I was contributing your sadness and anguish." He looked straight ahead. I could feel his regret

"I didn't want to be another reason you felt unloved or rejected. I didn't want to be another reason you held yourself back and shut people out so I stopped going against the grain and let us happen the way we are supposed to. I wanted you to know I am here for you, that I am not only your fated lover but also your friend. I watched you and with the veil of stubbornness lifted I was able to see how beautiful you are inside and out and that made me want to be a reason for your smiles" His eyes landed on me "Seokjin confessing to you and us really helped put things into perspective for me and I really need you to how how I feel about you. I truly love you and would do anything to keep you happy"

"Aww Hobi, you're gonna make me cry" I sniffled and crumpled his shirt in my fist. He rubbed pulled my body on top of his, putting our faces mere centimeters away from one another "Thank you for telling me. I love you too Hoseok and would also do whatever I can to make you happy. You have been a pillar for me over the last few days and I don't know if I would have gotten through them without you so thank you for opening your heart to me"

"Wish I would have done it sooner" he smiled that beautiful, bright loving smile of his and I instantly felt the honesty behind his words. "Can I have a kiss?"

"Yes" I smiled back and touched his lips with my own. Lingering on the my mouth he wrapped both of his arm around me and disconnected with a light smacking sound "My sunshine"

"I will always shine bright for you"
