Make It Right- A BTS OT7 Soulmate AU

Chapter One

Emily POV

As covid-19 swept the world, I knew that my job was probably one of the least stable, working a zero hour contract in a fashion store. I also knew that looking for something else would be difficult, as so we're thousands and thousands of other unemployed people. I couldn't claim any financial help. I was stuck.

Sitting at my desk panicking, rent, bills, food? How was I going to be able to afford anything? I needed the internet to be able to look for a job, my rent was due in two weeks, and I had more bills than I wanted to think about.

I decided the best thing to do was panic. Just sit and panic, I cried, I silently screamed and then I got up from my seat, made myself a overly sugary cup of coffee and gave myself an internal pep talk.

I wasn't going to call my parents to bail me out again, and I wasn't going to ask any friends. I was going to be independent, I was going to do this.

I applied for what help the government could give me, that could take up to twelve weeks, twelve weeks I didn't have.

I then looked at my cv, made some changes, I was happy with it. Despite my numerous temporary jobs, I had a decent University Degree, and some good references. I just hoped they would be enough.

Logging on to the job websites I've previously used, I fired my cv to as many as I could, before I came across a job advert that took my interest.. but it was in South Korea.

The advert stated it was for a personal companion, it required the applicant to travel frequently, accommodation, a vehicle, health insurance would all be provided as well as a monthly stipend to cover expenses. All in addition to a monthly salary that was more than my yearly wage here.

It stated for the correct candidate the relocation costs would be covered. All they required was a cv, a valid passport and driving license and a clean bill of health.

Was this a joke? Was it a scam? Was it way to kidnap vulnerable people and sell them on the black market? I'll take the chance, I'm broke, it's freezing because I can't afford to put the heating on, and I'm bored with my life. It was a verified employer, could it be that bad?

I wrote a quick covering letter, I didn't want it to sound like I was begging, but I was. I wanted this job, I wanted to leave behind the dreariness of my life. I had nothing to keep me here. I needed to do something, I cringe at the phrase, but I need to find who I am, I want a career, I want love, I want a family, pets, friends. Like a moth to a flame I clicked send, it was like the air stopped moving, no sound, no movement, I didn't even breathe until the page changed to accept my application.

That was it, it was out of my hands. Fate would decide my future, and with such impressive benefits, my future would probably entail an email telling me it was a mistake, and I would end up asleep in a cardboard box, hoping for a few coins to buy some coffee.

??? POV

"We need to do something, we've tried everything we can think of, we've tried concerts, fan meets, V-live, talk shows.. the list goes on"

"It's true, we've even tried going to crowded places with hats and masks on just to see if she is there, but we've had no luck"

"We could try a job advert? Maybe she would be drawn to apply? She may have lost her job with *waves hand* everything going on?"

All I can think of is the piece of us that is missing, the piece of us we have longed for. Would a job advert really work? We don't even know her name. I see her face in my dreams for a split second before she's ripped away.

All seven of us need to find our missing piece, we're getting desperate. Finding her has become our motivation, all we want to feel is the happiness of being complete.

We decide to vote on whether to move forward with our plan, all seven of us raise our hands to agree.

We instruct our managers to specifically target job websites in European countries as that where we feel she is. Her red out of control curls, freckles and blue eyes ingrained in my memory, her straight white teeth as she laughs, the way her eyes shine when she's happy. I need to hear her laugh, I need to make her smile every single day.

I need her. We need her. Here.

As our final soulmate.
