And making it your mission, you did.

It was the next day, and you walked into the massive library with a cup of coffee in hand. Your books pressed against your chest, glasses on and sitting on the bridge of your nose.

You headed towards one of the many tables situated around the place and placed your books down, taking a seat. You brought the cappuccino to your lips as your eyes ran past the many students in the hall.

You had no idea what Namjoon looked like. Your memory from the night you stayed over was hazy. And Jimin and Yoongi had never told you anything about his appearance, so you depended on your instinct to find your soulmate.

Knowing that Namjoon majored in Literature and English Language, you decided you would head to the section where all the English books and books required for your Literature assessment first.

There were a few students seated between the large bookshelves. Some were talking to their friends, and others were reading and taking notes.

Finding Namjoon was going to be a lot harder than you imagined. But you were going to find it regardless of how hard it would be. Based on the number of students you had seen seated between the many tall bookshelves in the library.

But you knew deciding to look for Nmajoon in here first was a good idea. If you, in case, failed to find him, you could get the books you needed for your assignment.

Pulling out the list your professor gave you, you headed to the section to look for your required books.

You had managed to find two out of the five books, and the third was giving you a struggle. The title of the book was just too long and not mention the ridiculously long name of the author.

You ran your eyes across the many books on the tall shelf that towered over your small figure, eyes squinting as you tried to read the titles.

"Oh my gosh, finally!" You happily whispered to yourself as you found the book you were looking for, but that happiness quickly disappeared as you tried to reach for it.

The book was too high for you, and the tips of your finger were barely touching it. Stopping to look around for a step ladder, you frowned when you realised that another student was already using it.

Letting out a sigh, you decided to reach for it again, huffing as you hopped on your toes.

"Here, let me help," a voice said, and you felt the presence of someone behind you. You quickly turned around only to be looking at the man's chest. The unknown male reached for your book and pulled it out.

"You must major in Literature," he said, handing you the book with a smile on his face. You couldn't help but notice the dimples on his cheeks.

"Uh, yeah," you said, whispering a soft thank you as you took the book from his hand. "My name is Kim Namjoon," he introduced himself, causing your eyes to widen.

You were looking for him, but it seems like he had found you instead. "So this is what you look like," you mumbled, but the male was able to make out your words.

"Do you know me?" You nodded, a smile growing on your face. "Yoongi and Jimin told me about you. I was actually hoping to find you in here."

The boy's face scrunched in confusion before his eyes widened. "y/n?" he asked, and you nodded again. "No wonder why you looked so familiar. I can't believe I couldn't recognise you. Tae showed us the pictures he took of you yesterday." "And wait, you were hoping to find me here? Does that mean you were looking for me? Oh-" he cut himself off and nervously smiled.

"Sorry, I'm rambling, aren't I?" He asked, and you shook your head. "No carry on, it's adorable. But let's carry on once we've taken a seat."

-

Instead of the table you had chosen earlier, Namjoon had decided to take you to a more secluded area of the library.

Taking a seat, you noticed it was just the two of you in the aisle. If Namjoon had not helped you get your book, you definitely wouldn't have found him.

"I like being away from the chattering students. Although they speak don't loudly, the murmuring and whispers are a bit irritating." You nodded as you took a sip of your coffee.

"So you were looking for me? Why?" He asked, and you smiled. "Why else would I be looking for you? To meet you, of course." A pink tint spread across his cheeks, causing you to giggle.

Namjoon was surprised that you were looking for him. He expected to meet you via one of his other soulmates, like Yoongi. But no. You were looking for him yourself.

"O-oh yeah," he whispered, lowering his head. He was hoping he would've been more confident, but he just wanted to melt and disappear. He felt so nervous and shy under your gaze.

"You're cute," you giggled. The pink tint on Namjoon's cheeks was now spreading across his face. He bit his lip as he tried to suppress his growing smile. The sound of your giggles was like music to his ears. He slowly looked up to see you silently laughing.

Your eyes had disappeared, and there was a big smile on your face. Namjoon took this moment to take in your features, examining each one.

"Why don't you tell me about yourself, hm?" You asked once your giggles died down. "Only if you tell me about yourself in return," he said, feeling more confident in himself.

The two of you spoke for probably a total of two hours. You started talking about your likes and dislikes and until you eventually shared some of your favourite books.

"I'm glad you decided to look for me today. I couldn't wait to meet you," Namjoon said, placing your hands in his. You felt the spark between you two, causing you to wince. The burning, itching feeling quickly followed after.

"It's itchy, isn't it?" He asked, bringing your wrist to his lips. You hummed in response as he began to place soft kisses on the mark. "Is yours not itchy?" "It is." You frowned. You noticed that none of your soulmates would ever complain about the itching on their wrists.

"But it's not as irritating as yours. Yours are itchier because you're interacting with all of us in two months. We interacted with each other over a few months or even years." He explained before gently lacing his fingers with yours.

"You're beautiful, y/n," he whispered as he stared into your eyes. Namjoon felt himself inching closer to you. The sound of distant chattering drowned as he focused all of his attention on you. His eyes alternated from looking into your eyes to looking at your lips.

The sudden urge to kiss you was growing, and you seemed to notice that. A small smile grew on your face as you whispered: "You can kiss me if you want."

Namjoon looked at you with his mouth slightly open. "I can?" He asked, shifting in his seat as he moved closer to you. He placed his free on the back of your head, bringing you close to his face. "I can?" he asked again.

Instead of responding with a yes or nodding, you placed your lips on his, initiating his long-awaited kiss.
