"When are you going to get your shit from Chaewon's? place?" Haru asked, looking up from his phone. "And do you talk to her soulmate? Wendy or whatever her name was?"

You and your soulmates had to go your separate ways, and you were now sketching while Haru sort of studied by the desk next to you.

"Wendy and I talk a bit. She told me as much as she doesn't want... she's thinking of giving up on Chaewon," you sighed.

"I say go for it and find someone else. Although it may be hard... there are a number of people who don't care about the soulmate system," Haru said.

"Maybe I should tell that to Mingyu? Do you think he'd give up on Lia?" You asked. "Do you think he would? Didn't he tell you he would leave and do that shit again? The boy is clearly and unfortunately still whipped for that woman."

"Anyway, I reported the post as cyberbullying. If the head thinks of it as bullying, the post will be taken down soon. I wonder how Lia got to post it, though... She doesn't go here," Haru muttered. "Wait... you don't think she blackmailed or tricked Mingyu into doing it? Has he said anything?"

You shrugged.

"Mingyu hasn't said anything. But I'm going to see him and the other two later anyway. I'll ask him then," you sighed.

You didn't think Mingyu would do that.

As much you believed he loved Lia... you don't think he would go that far and almost ruin your basically non-existent reputation. I mean... people barely knew you before this.

Those who knew you knew you as the only woman in a relationship of eight. They didn't even know your name. And they still don't.

But they now know you as the girl who's apparently messing around with other people because having seven soulmates wasn't enough.

"Anyway, when is your next lecture? I need to leave for mine soon, and I don't wanna leave you alone," Haru asked.

"I've got a sociology lecture, but that's not any time soon. I'll just go to the art hall and work on my sculpture. It's due soon, and I need to get it done," you sighed.

"Alright, let's go. Close your sketchbooks. You can continue doing your creative and nerdy shit later."

.

Namjoon let out a sigh as he watched the fourth person who asked him about you walk away.

He and Yoongi were sitting in the cafeteria, trying to eat something before their lectures.

"This is really annoying," he groaned. "Imagine how it is for y/n..."

"I can imagine. If y/n starts to wear long-sleeved tops and stuff again, I swear to God Lia won't even think about being with us." Yoongi muttered, running his fingers through his hair.

"I didn't think the girl would go this far. What did Lia think she'd gain by doing this y/n? Did she think we'd think y/n cheated on us or something like that?" Namjoon asked.

"For someone who's been friends with me longer than I had known Hoseok, I thought she knew me better than that," he scoffed.

"What are you going to do with her, Joon?" Yoongi asked. "This is someone who was once your best friend. It's not going to be that hard for us to cut ties with her, but... it's different for you."

Namjoon let out a sigh and rested his head on his boyfriend's shoulder.

Yoongi softly smiled before wrapping his arm around him and kissing the side of his head.

"I don't know, Yoon..." He whined. "I don't know what I'm going to say to her."

"Do you want some of us to be there when you talk to her?" Yoongi asked. "It might be easier since I know what I exactly wanna say to Lia."

"No. No. I know the kind of things you're going to say," Namjoon laughed. "I'd rather you do that after I have a one on one conversation with her. Then the rest of you can say what you want."

"If that's what you want, sweetie."

"Did you just call me sweetie?" Namjoon chuckled, taking his head off Yoongi's shoulder.

"So what if I did? What're you going to do about it, sweetie?" Yoongi asked, raising a brow and bringing his face closer to Namjoon's.

"I wonder how the relationship would've worked if it was just the two of them," Jimin muttered, watching his soulmates from afar.

"I think that's why the lord made me and Joon meet before Yoongi came along. Even though I prefer to be in control, those two forced me into submission way too much. That's why it was good you came next," Jin chuckled.

"Should we go to them?" Jimin asked. "Or just continue to watch them tease each other like that?"

"Yoongi likes the idea of doing shit in public and saying shit like: Be quiet if you don't wanna get caught. Even though it's Joon... I suggest we stop them before things get out of hand."

Jimin and Jin quickly walked up to their soulmates.

"Alright, alright, you two can fight for dominance at home. We're in the fucking school cafeteria. There are students who are probably fresh out of high school here. Let's not traumatise them," Jin said.

"Isn't high school traumatising enough? I'm pretty sure those kids are already tainted," Yoongi chuckled, pulling away from Namjoon.

"True, but let's not scare the few that are still innocent," Jimin said before making himself comfortable on Namjoon's lap. "Hi."

"Joon, your next lecture is in an hour, right? And it's the last one for the day?" Jin asked.

"Yeah and thank God. I've had enough people asking me if it was y/n and that stupid picture that I just want to sleep-" He was cut off by the ringing of his phone.

"Who is it?" He mumbled as he watched Jimin take his phone off the desk.

"How funny. It's the culprit," Jimin chuckled before handing his soulmate his phone. Namjoon looked at the screen and sighed before answering the call and putting it on speaker.

"Contain yourselves, okay?" He mouthed. "Hello?"

"Joonie! Hi!" Lia's excited voice came through the phone. "What are you up to?" The sound of papers turning could be heard in the background.

"I'm at school, why?" He asked.

"Oh, yea... you guys still go to school. Anyway, I'm thinking of continuing my studies here. I'm looking at some colleges for fashion design and I need help. Do you think I could come over later?"

"Actually. I need to talk to you. Why don't we meet up at the cafe Jin works at? You remember where it is, right?" Namjoon asked. "The name and stuff changed but it's still in the same spot."

"Ah... is something wrong with your place?" Lia asked with a frown.

"Oh, no... not really. It's just y/n's moving in and her stuff is a bit all over the place. So it's a bit chaotic at home. A cafe will be much better," Namjoon told her.

'Damn... I never knew a day would come where I'd have to make an excuse to avoid Lia coming over.'

"Oh, y/n's moving in?" She asked and he nodded. "Yup. We asked her not too long ago. Anyway... I'll meet you at the cafe at five, okay? I'll send you the new name and stuff too."

"Uh, sure. See you at five then," Lia said before the call ended.

"y/n hasn't even started bringing her stuff," Jimin laughed. "But that reminds me... when will she officially move in?"

"Doesn't she need to give her roommate and landlord a notice?" Yoongi asked. "I think after she does that she can start bringing her stuff."

"Anyway, are you actually going to talk to Lia about everything today?" Jin asked. "Do you know what you'll say to her and stuff?"

"I don't but I can't wait another day because who knows what Lia will do? I need to confront her about everything. She needs to know we know about her leaving Mingyu... about her wanting to be in y/n's position and that she's the one who posted these pictures."

Jimin smiled and pecked his boyfriend's lips. "This must be hard for you, right? Your friendship with Lia probably isn't going to be the same-"

"Will there even be a friendship left?" Yoongi interrupted. "Yoongi!"

"Anyway. Your friendship with Lia probably isn't going to be the same... are you sure you want to do this? I mean-"

"Even if my friendship with her will probably end, I have to. Lia isn't as important to me as the rest of you are. You guys come first before anything," Namjoon said.

"Don't worry, Minnie. This isn't going to affect me for long. I'll be too busy thinking about y/n moving in with us... exams... and so many other important things."

"Good. Anyway, I have a lecture to attend and an assignment to hand in. I just stopped by because why not," Jimin said, hopping off Namjoon's lap.

"I'll see you guys at home. I love you," he said before blowing his soulmates a kiss and walking away.

"I need to catch a lecture too. I'll see y'all later," Yoongi said, packing his backpack and getting up from his seat.

"When's your next lecture?" Jin asked. "In an hour right?"

"Yeah. Why? Do you wanna do something?" Namjoon asked, wiggling his eyebrows. "We're at school, you idiot. I was going to say let's get something to eat but I'm down unless I top," Jin winked.

"Fine."
