❀ [Soulmate AU] ❀
Kwan Ae-Young an SBR (Soulmate Bonding Researcher), had always watched, learnt and helped from the side, as many people found their soulmate. It was like that familiar phrase, always a bridesmaid never a bride. She had never though...
"Mr. Lee, I appreciate this opportunity, I really do. Though unfortunately, I don't think it's the right path for me. I don't expect you to understand, I just hope you can accept that this is my final decision." I replied sternly, as I got up from my chair. "Thank you. I'll see myself out."
I walked out of the office, as quickly as I could, not daring to look behind me. I sighed loudly in relief, once I had made it back to my desk. On it was my cup of tea, that I assume Soomin brought over for me. I took a small sip of it, in a means to calm my nerves.
My heart was still beating rapidly, not believing how I spoke to my boss. He must have been really surprised, when I stood my ground with my answer. I just didn't think he'd stop insisting, unless I put my foot down. Good thing too, now I don't have to worry about this anymore.
I then finally sat down at my seat, even though my heart was still pounding. It was somewhat intimidating being in that office. More so, interrupting my boss, someone that is clearly ranked higher than me. At that very thought, before I could get myself more worked up about the situation, I noticed my phone light up.
I'm not really supposed to be checking my phone during work, but my gut feeling told me to anyways. So I quickly took a peek, noticing a text....from Yoongi. I put my phone back down, not planning on answering it. But then it lit up again, and again. And before Yoongi could send through another text, I was already in our chat.
-
Yoongi : Everything alright?
Yoongi : You seem a little....
Yoongi : Scared?
Yoongi : Worried?
Me : I wouldn't go all the way to worried.
Me : But I'm fine now.
Me : I'm sorry if I caused you any discomfort.
Yoongi : No, not at all.
Yoongi : Anyways, I should probably get back to work.
Me : Yeah, me too.

I tuned off my phone then, before any further reply was sent. I put my phone a good deal away from me, so I wouldn't get distracted again. I thought back to the conversation for a moment, realising how casual it was.
Anyone would have just thought we were good friends, or something of the sort. Not mere strangers who met a week ago. I honestly can't say exactly why I feel so comfortable around him, because it doesn't make any sense to begin with. But, be it the soulmate bonding or not, I just....do? I feel like I'm getting Deja Vu, as I remember feeling this same way just the other day.
But for now, I have to try to put that out of my head, so I can focus on my job. So after turning around, away from the sight of my phone, I got back on task. And then, my usual work continued.
Not for too long though, because in just a few short minutes, someone came running towards me with a phone in hand. I didn't know the person too well, I just knew he worked here, on the same floor as myself.
"Excuse me, Miss." He said, catching his breath. "There's someone on the phone for you, and he says it's urgent."
I didn't waste any time asking questions, taking the phone in my hand. Generally, I don't get calls from an office phone, because it's easier to just give people my own number so they can contact me at any time, without worrying that the office is understaffed. So this is definitely the first time, in a really long while, that I've received an office call. It kind of caught me off guard.
"Hello?" I said calmly into the phone. "This is Kwan Ae-Young speaking."
"Yes, hello Ae-Young. Your mobile must have been turned off, because we couldn't reach you. Unfortunately, I couldn't wait much longer, as we need your help." A panicked voice asked. It was Sejin's voice. "Namjoon found his soulmate."
"That's great to hear!" I said in a cheerful voice, really quite confused at his panicked one. "I'm sensing that something else is the matter?"
"We just noticed, only the numbers though." Sejin continued, rather vaguely. "We didn't say anything, as he and Namjoon's soulmate didn't show to have reacted in any abnormal way upon first greeting each other."
"I'm sorry, I don't quite understand." I replied, trying to wrap my head around the currently limited information given to me.
"Yoongi too, has found his soulmate."
