"y/n! Are you alright? I saw the pictures, and I can't believe someone would ever do that to you!" Sora exclaimed as she almost ran up to you.

"I mean.. how would anyone think you'd do that when you literally talk about your soulmates with the biggest smile on your face? Not to mention the way you look at them too!"

"Hello, you two," you chuckled, greeting Mingyu and Jayden. "What's got her so hyper?"

"She doesn't like it when someone is clearly wrongly accused of something. In this case... you're the wrongfully accused. I wasn't planning on bringing it up since I thought it might make you uncomfortable, but yeah," Jayden said, scratching his nape.

"Don't worry. It's not even a big deal. I'm pretty sure people will forget this in a couple of days. A couple of hours if I'm lucky," you joked before beginning to smooth out the surface of your sculpture.

"I'm so sorry, y/n," Mingyu apologised, and you immediately looked at him.

You knew Mingyu wasn't apologising because he's the one that posted those pictures with that caption... He was apologising on behalf of Lia.

"It's okay. It's not like you're the one who did," you smiled. "Don't feel bad either. I said it's not a big deal."

"Anyway, did you talk to your soulmates about it?" Jayden asked, and you nodded.

"Of course she did, Jayden!" Sora exclaimed. "I'm sure you have their full support too. I can imagine one of them saying: Don't worry, princess. Everything will be taken care of soon-"

"Sora!" Mingyu laughed. "What? I'm pretty sure that's how it went down! Am I wrong, y/n?"

You couldn't help but laugh. "Hm... you're not wrong."

"Yes! What'd I tell you, Namkyu? Huh?" Sora said, waving her hand in front of Mingyu's face.

"Let's stop talking about this and my soulmates. We've got a sculpture I need help putting together," you said. "We should be done with it by the end of this week!"

"Awe, man. I liked helping you," Sora frowned. "If they're any future projects you work on, can I help? Even if it's not for school or anything like that."

"Yeah! I wouldn't mind helping you again. I had fun," Jayden smiled.

"Of course! How could I say no to your help? We can even build a sculpture from scratch together if you'd like," you told them. "Only when there's time, though."

"Yes! We'll get to sculpt together and stuff. I made the best choice picking you," Sora said. "My other friends say their mentors or whatever you want to call them suck and stuff."

"Right? They told me they were either being forced to do the work... or weren't learning anything at all," Mingyu chuckled.

"I'm happy you guys picked me too. I can't imagine having to work with anyone other than you three," you smiled.

"Anyway, let's get to work."

.

"What do I even say...?" Namjoon asked himself as he fixed his shirt.

"Don't think about it too much, baby. You'll know what you want to say to Lia when you see her," Jin said, running his fingers through his boyfriend's hair.

It was almost five, and Namjoon and Jin were making their way to the cafe.

"You don't have shift... so why are you coming with me," Namjoon asked.

"For support," Jin smiled. "You needed one of us to be with you before your talk. Who would answer the questions you're busy asking yourself right now?"

"Ah.. she's calling. Do you think she's already inside?" Namjoon asked, and Jin shrugged. "Just answer the call."

"Lia? Hey..."

"Joonie! I'm already here and about to order. Is there anything you'd like?" Lia asked, and she could be heard asking the barista to wait a second.

"Iced coffee or something. I'll be there in a few," Namjoon told her. "Okay! See you in a bit."

"She sounds happy," Jin chuckled. "I wonder what she's expecting you to say."

"I feel bad... ugh-"

Namjoon didn't want to feel bad, but he was about to end his friendship with someone who was once his good friend. Someone who he trusted.

He never imagined there'd be a day where he'd have to tell Lia that he didn't think they could be friends anymore. But she made his soulmates uncomfortable... she made y/n feel uncomfortable.

"I'm going to leave you on your own now," Jin said and stopped walking. "I think we'll all be waiting for you at home, okay?"

Jin stood in front of his soulmate, placed his hands on his cheeks and pecked his lips. "Love you, Joonie."

"Hm, love you too, Jin."

Jin watched as Namjoon walked into the cafe with a smile. "Wouldn't be surprised if that bitch shed a tear after talking to her."

"Joon!" Lia smiled as she watched her friend walk into the cafe. Namjoon forced a smile and waved before walking up to the girl.

"Hey..." he greeted.

"You came just in time. I just got our drinks. Here," Lia said, sliding the iced coffee towards him. "Thanks," he muttered before taking a sip.

"So... what did you want to talk about?"

"Right..." Namjoon let out a sigh. "So... I came here to tell you that I don't think we can be friends anymore..."

Lia's eyes widened. 'Is this what I think it is?' She thought, trying to fight back the smile threatening to grow on her face.

"W-why?" She asked.

"Lia... this isn't what you think it is. I'm not ending our friendship because I want something more with you... I'm ending it because I don't want anything to do with you anymore."

"Huh?" Lia blinked. "You... don't want anything to do with me anymore?"

"Lia... I know how you feel towards me and my soulmates... well, my soulmates except for y/n. I know the real reason Mingyu suddenly disappeared... I know that you're the one who somehow shared those pictures helping a guy win something for his sister. I know... everything."

"What do you mean you know the real reason why Mingyu suddenly disappeared? You know he left me for someone else-"

"You know damn well he wouldn't do that. Mingyu was and probably still is head over heels for you. He left because you wanted someone else. He left you because you asked him to. Left because you were looking to have a relationship with us," Namjoon breathed.

"Joonie-"

"Don't call me that..." Namjoon sighed, looking away from here. "I... just no, Lia."

"Namjoon... why are you being like this? You guys haven't seen Mingyu yet! How do you know what- who even told you that? Was it y/n? Who- it's obviously y/n," she sighed.

"I heard it from Mingyu with my own ears, Lia. y/n didn't tell me anything. And why a being like this? Why the hell are you being like this?" He asked. "I can't help but think about when you possibly changed? When did you decide you wanted to join my relationship with my soulmates?"

"Namjoon-"

"Let me speak. I'm sorry to say this- no. I'm not sorry to say this," Namjoon muttered.

"You need to realise that you will and would've never been able to make me or any of the others fall for you. We can't do that. I don't know if this will make any sense, but there's no space left for you or anyone else. If we hadn't found y/n yet... no one could've taken that space. The only people I can... and will ever love will be my soulmates."

Lia couldn't seem to process what she was hearing. Her best friend. One of her crushes... was telling her he didn't want anything to do with her anymore.

"If y/n did everything I did, you wouldn't be telling her you wouldn't want to do anything with her. If y/n-"

"If y/n what? There's a difference between you and y/n. She's one of my soulmates. One of the loves of my life. You were a friend... just a friend," Namjoon told her. "And y/n wouldn't do anything like this anyway. Even if she did... it's a bit reasonable. If someone kept trying to come for my men and woman, I would've tried to drive that person away too."

Lia looked away from Namjoon and scoffed. She couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"Anyway... I suggest you stop chasing us and open your eyes. I want you to realise that there's someone who was made just for you... someone who might take you back even after everything you've done."

Namjoon took out his wallet and placed the amount the drink cost.

"Here... this for the drink," he told Lia before standing up. "And although I came here alone... I speak on behalf of everyone. Please don't come to our house or contact us ever again."

Lia watched Namjoon walk out with tears in her eyes.

"This... wasn't supposed to happen. Namjoon... the boys... no," she breathed. "This wasn't supposed to happen!"

Namjoon was supposed to tell her that y/n was out of the picture since she cheated. He was supposed to tell her that he and the boys wanted her instead.

Lia was feeling hurt and angry. Angry at you for being their soulmate and at Mingyu for telling them she made him leave.

So when you walked into the cafe with Mingyu and two other people she didn't recognise... she saw red.
