"Here," Hoseok said, extending his hand for you to take. "Thank you," you giggled as he helped you off the bus.

"Do you think we should go straight home? Or do you want to stop by somewhere else?" He asked.

"To your guy's place. I want to be with the others too," you told him, looking up at the sky. You couldn't help but frown. There weren't many stars in the sky tonight.

"If we ever go on a camping trip, I want to stargaze every night."

"Why every night?" Hoseok asked as the two of you began to walk. "Hmm, because you don't see that many stars here. Because of the city lights."

"You must really love the stars," he said, and you hummed in response. "Kind of. I remember wanting to be an astrologist when I was younger. If I hadn't fallen in love with art and literature, I'd probably be studying Astronomy."

Hoseok took your hand and stuffed it into his pocket. "We'll go anywhere you want to go once our exam season passes."

"If I said I wanted to go all the way to Africa? To the Kruger National Park in South Africa, to be exact?" You asked, and he smiled.

"If you want to, we will. We've got the money for it."

"What're you? One of my sugar daddies now?" You joked while Hoseok shrugged. "We can be anything you want us to be, baby."

You playfully rolled your eyes. "Let's just walk faster? I want to see the others. I've missed them."

"They've missed you too. It was weird going to bed without you being in the house." 'Which is why we're finally going to ask you to move in with us.'

.

"Hmm," Jimin hummed as Taehyung placed soft kisses in the crook of his neck.

"Does anyone know where Hope's is?" Jungkook asked with a frown. "He's normally home by now."

"He's with y/n. He sent a text on the group chat. Did you not see it?" Namjoon asked, looking up from his phone. "They should be here soon."

"y/n's coming? I missed her." Jimin sighed as he ran his fingers through Taehyung's hair. "I can't wait till we can ask her to move in. Can't tomorrow come already?"

"Right? But wait... where's y/n going to sleep?" Jungkook asked.

"Hmm, the guest room?" Jin asked. "I mean... I don't know if she's comfortable enough to share a room with us."

"If she is, dibs on sharing with y/n!" Jimin exclaimed, raising his hand. Taehyung groaned. "I'm trying to love, and here you are doing this," he grumbled before turning to Yoongi.

"Yoongi," he whined before burying his head in the crook of his boyfriend's neck.

"Be glad I have no energy to push you away," Yoongi chuckled before pecking his soulmate's head.

"No way you're going to share a room with y/n. The girl won't get any peace around you," Jin chuckled. "It's up to y/n to decide if she wants to share a room with any of us. But I think she'll choose the guest room, anyway."

"I want to share a room with her!" Jungkook said.

"You're already rooming with Tae. Although your room is large since it is the master one, I doubt there's any space for y/n's clothes. The only person who'd probably be able to share with y/n is Yoongi. He's got more than enough closet space."

"I have space, but I don't think I want to share my room with y/n. I love the girl, but I still love my alone time. Taehyunng, don't leave any hickeys."

Taehyung only hummed in response.

"We're home!" Hoseok exclaimed, closing the door behind you.

"We're all in the living room!" Jin exclaimed, getting up from his seat.

"Yes, more people are here to love me~" Jimin softly sang, causing Namjoon to playfully roll his eyes.

"And more people for me to love."

"Hey, guys," you greeted as soon as you entered the living room.

"Baby!" Jungkook said before gesturing to you to come over. You smiled before dropping your backpack and plopping onto the couch in the spot next to him.

Your soulmate immediately wrapped his arms around you and pulled you into his embrace.

"How was your day, baby? Any progress with your sculpture?" Namjoon asked. "It was good, and yeah. We should be done soon, actually," you told him.

"That's good," Yoongi said. "Tae, I think that's enough now."

Taehyung frowned before pulling away. "Hoseok hyung~" he whined before getting up and sitting next to Hoseok.

"What is it, baby?" He chuckled, running his fingers through his boyfriend's hair.

Taehyung didn't answer, causing Hoseok to chuckle. "Go ahead." He smiled before burying his head in the crook of his soulmate's neck.

"When did we get a vampire?" Yoongi grumbled, shaking his head.

"Mingyu hasn't really changed," Jin suddenly said. "Expect the hair and contacts stuff. He looked and seemed like the same Mingyu from a couple of years ago."

"You saw Mingyu today?" Jungkook asked, and Jin hummed in response. "Yeah, they came to have lunch at the cafe and stuff."

"By the way, baby... why did you refuse to give Lia your number?" Namjoon asked.

"I didn't want her blowing up my phone, asking me to ask Mingyu some questions regarding their past love life. What kind of questions does she want to ask, though?"

'She's the one that ended things between them.'

"Things like why did he disappear with another girl just to come back a few years later?" Namjoon told you.

"Have you guys ever tried to think of the answer to that question yourself?" You asked. "Like, why would he do such a thing?"

"We have. But we don't get it. We can't seem to try to figure out why. Lia and Mingyu's relationship was perfect. Plus, Mingyu was head over heels for Lia and would do anything for her," Jin said.

'Exactly, Jinnie. Now think! Think about what exactly 'anything' is!'

"Did Mingyu tell you anything? Did he mention anything about a soulmate or partner?" Hoseok asked, and you shook your head.

"Nope. Jayden, one of his friends, said the topic of soulmates is sensitive to him."

'it's not my place to tell you Mingu's side of the story, but I'll give you hints to figure it out.'

"Baby, do you know anything about Mingyu leaving? Did he ever speak to you about his relationship with Lia?" Jimin asked, and you nervously bit your lip.

'I know his side of the story, but I don't know if I can tell since it's not my story. And I don't want to lie...'

"He did..."

"And? What did he say?" Namjoon asked, and you let out a sigh. "I- I can't tell you guys yet. He said he was going to tell you guys himself."

"You can't tell us?" Yoongi asked, and you nodded, avoiding their gaze.

"I want to... but I was asked not to. Mingyu will talk to you guys when he's ready..."

"When did the two of you get that close? Close enough that Mingyu would tell you why he left Lia?" Jin chuckled, and you frowned.

'He didn't leave Lia... It was the other way around...' You wanted to say, but you kept it in.

"We aren't really close, Jin. It's just..." you sighed. "He just told me and asked me not to talk to you guys about it since he wants to tell you guys himself. I don't know when he'll say something, but I'm sure he'll tell you eventually."

"Let's drop the topic, hm? Mingyu will tell us when he's ready." Jimin said, noticing how you were playing with your fingers.

And they did. But something in the room didn't feel right, and you couldn't help but wonder if you were wrong for not telling the boys.

'Please tell them soon, Mingyu.'
