"Hey, Joon- oh, you're in here too, Lia," Yoongi said. "I hope I'm not interrupting something."

"No, don't worry. We were just talking about our anniversary tomorrow."

"Anniversary? Tomorrow is your anniversary?" Yoongi asked, causing Lia to let out a soft sigh. "Our anniversary, Yoon. The eight of us. Tomorrow will mark three years of my friendship with all seven of you."

"Oh, sorry. I totally forgot about that," Yoongi told her, scratching his nape. Lia just nodded and got up. "About what I said earlier, can you please look into it?" she asked, and Namjoon nodded. "I will but wait- what do you want to do tomorrow?"

"Hm... we can think about that later. Let me let the two of you talk," Lia said before walking out and closing the door behind her.

"So, what's up with you?" Namjoon asked as he watched his boyfriend take a seat at the foot of his bed. "I needed to talk to you about something."

"Does it have anything to do with Lia?" He asked, causing Yoongi to look at him with wide eyes. "How'd you know?"

"Because Lia came in here asking if she had done anything to make you and kook dislike her. Yoon... what's going on?"

Yoongi let out a sigh and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Lia and the way she acts."

"What do you mean by the way she acts? I've known her for the longest, and I don't think she's acted any different," Namjoon frowned. "She's acting differently with y/n. Lia walked in on Jungkook and me making out, and she didn't say anything and minded her business. But as soon as y/n and I kiss, she complains and wants us to get a room."

"What?"

"Taehyung and I talked the other night. It seems like Lia doesn't like that we aren't paying as much attention to her as we did two years ago," Yoongi began to explain.

"Then why would she complain about y/n-"

"Because it's because of y/n we aren't paying as much attention to her. Lia isn't the only girl in our lives anymore. We have y/n, and because she's not only our soulmate but our girlfriend too, Lia doesn't like it."

Namjoon's frown deepened. To be honest, he was completely unaware.

"Pay attention to what she'll do. Kiss Jungkook or make out with Hobi in front of her, and she won't mind. But as soon as it's y/n, then she'll have a problem. Not to mention, when the topic is focused on something regarding y/n, she'll try to change it."

Namjoon closed his eyes and let out a sigh. "I'll talk to her about it. Thanks for letting me know, babe."

"Tomorrow is our anniversary with her. Don't talk to Lia about it then. See what I mean, and then chat to her about it later."

.

"What the fuck did you do?" Lia suddenly asked, causing you to frown. "Huh?"

You were so confused. You were just watching TV when an evidently upset Lia stomped into the living room. Not to mention the girl was talking to you in English.

"I asked what the fuck did you do?" She asked, greeting her teeth, causing you to frown. "What's wrong? What're you even talking about?"

"You-" she mumbled, pointing her finger at you. "You did something."

"Now, what the heck did I do?" You didn't like how this woman was suddenly accusing you of something without giving you an explanation.

"You did something to the boys. Because of you, Yoongi's been acting differently around me. Because of you, Jungkook's been acting differently around me too! Are you jealous? Jealous that I've known them for more years than you have?"

"Excuse me?" You asked, getting up from the couch. "Why would I be jealous of you for that reason? In fact, why would I be jealous of you at all?"

You let out a sigh and pinched the bridge of your nose. "Look, Lia. I don't know why Yoongi and Jungkook have been different around you. You should be asking them instead of coming here and accusing me."

"And I'm not jealous of how long you've them. Whether it's five years or even ten. As far as I know, you're just their friend. Why would I be jealous that my soulmates, no my boyfriends, have a female friend they've known for years?"

"We-"

"What's going on? And why are you guys busy talking in English?" Jin asked with a frown on his face.

"Sorry, Jin. We were discussing something about our bodies, and I began to talk in English out of frustration. It's nothing to worry about," Lia said, giving Jin a small smile.

"Baby?" He asked, waiting to hear from you.

"It's nothing to worry about, Jin," you said, and he slowly nodded. "Anyway, where's ice prince? Is he done making dinner?"

"He's in Joonie's room, and nope, he's not done," Lia told him, causing him to let out a sigh.

"MIN YOONGI!"

In Namjoon's room, Yoongi pulled away from his soulmate with a groan.

"Fuck I forgot I was making dinner," he whispered. "Why don't we continue after dinner, hm? I still have a point to prove my love," Namjoon said with a smirk on his face.

"As much as I'd love to, we can't. You're going to need all that energy for tomorrow, my love."

.

Dinner was... eventful. At least for you, it was.

Although not many words were exchanged, it was pretty clear that Lia was trying to make you jealous. She sat between Yoongi and Jungkook and purposely tried to keep everyone's attention on her.

The keyword here is tried.

Somehow the guys stopped paying much attention to her and conversed amongst themselves or with you.

After dinner, Jimin, Namjoon, and Hoseok were doing the dishes while the other five of you did whatever.

Yoongi was in his room, Jin and Jungkook were watching TV while Taehyung talked to the ones busy in the kitchen. You were about to take a shower.

But on your way to the bathroom, you stopped and pulled into a room.

"What the- Lia? Oh my gosh, what is wrong with you?"

The girl glared at you. "What is wrong with you? So upset that you're not the only girl in their lives that you just have to want attention twenty-four seven? Huh? Ever since your little ass decided to come into the picture, I can't talk to my friends in peace."

You closed your eyes and let out a sigh. You didn't expect Lia to be the typical mean girl in a high school movie.

"What the fuck is your problem? I really don't get it. All I'm doing is spending time with my soulmates. It's not my fault they have their priorities straight..."

"Priorities? Do you really think you're one of their priorities?"

"That doesn't matter to you, Lia. Don't ever fucking pull aside just to talk and complain about how my boyfriends have been acting towards you. Talk to them. Or think about what you've done. And I swear to God if you do anything like this again, I'll straight up tell the boys I'm uncomfortable with you being here."

You crossed your arms over your chest. "Humble yourself, Li. You may have known them for years, and I've only known them for a couple of months, but that doesn't mean anything. I'm their soulmate, and you're just their friend. Try all you want, but I won't get jealous. Why should I?"

"You think being their soulmate is going to change anything?" She asked before scoffing. "Platonic soulmates exist, y/n-"

"And so? As far as I'm aware, my relationship with the guys is definitely not platonic. You've only been here for three days. I'm not the one to ruin friendships but behave yourself, Lia. The rest of the guys may be oblivious to the bitch in you, but I'm not."

In the living room where four of the other seven soulmates sat, the eldest decided to speak.

"Did we ever tell y/n or Lia that we can all understand English? Let alone speak it fluently?"
