When you meet your soulmate all of your past lives flash in front of your eyes, but Jimin has only seen scraps of memories twice. Once while meeting his new classmate Taehyung, once looking into the eyes of his idol crush, world star singer Jungkook...

"I'm fine, we can continue," he muttered collecting himself from the floor, limping towards the place in the middle of the practice room.
"Five minutes of break," Ranty sent him a serious glance then left to the corner to look through his laptop, the other two reached their water bottles in front of the mirror.
"No need to be so stressed, I'm not biting," Jungkook winked to him and Jimin felt terrible blushes storming to his face.
"Um..." his throat was too tight to give out words.
"You should see yourself, cute," Jungkook was still amused passing him to grab a water bottle handed to him by a company assistant.
Wait, has he just been called cute by his idol crush, his dream soulmate? Jimin would gladly die from embarrassment.
There was no place to hide though, so he was standing with his head low trying to survive that awkward situation. Was Jungkook shamelessly flirting or just making fun of him, because maybe it was obvious that he was hopelessly crushing.
"Everyone ready?" Ranty turned the music on and they spread along the dance floor, Jimin now determined to give his best so he was concentrating on the moves only.
There was a firm hand closing on him giving him an electrifying shock, spinning him over the floor and he lifted up to make a complicated turn over Jungkook's back. His mind still in denial, absolutely off, but he was raised by his hips then held in the air to be spun around, a little puppet in his five minutes of fame.
They were practicing the routine for many more times, each one a bit more comfortable as he was getting used to the temperature of Jungkook's hands on him, both avoiding eye contact, not speaking at all, so their dance really seemed stiff.
"Good, you have the routine down, now I would like you to work on the spark. It's the prince dancing with the swan, two forbidden lovers meeting underneath the sharp moonlight. You have to bring this message through, so far I can see two strangers struggling," Ranty laughed. "May I be honest Jungkook?"
"Absolutely," Jungkook played it completely cool.
"Ok, so during tomorrow's training we will concentrate on the message. Thank you a lot for the effort."
Everyone clapped, the dancers came to hug them goodbye.
"Um..." Jimin turned to Jungkook but his words once again got stuck in his throat.
"What are you doing next?" Jungkook raised his brow.
"Um... going to my dance school, to practice this routine a bit more to do better tomorrow," he pressed out.
"I have two schedules, will come by at 8 pm to pick you up," Jungkook grabbed the bucket hat from his assistant to press over his head and cover his eyes again.
"What?" Asked Jimin in shock.
"I'll pick you up," Jungkook grinned to himself walking off when Jimin was standing there unable to grasp what he has just heard.
"Sam, shush! Here," Jimin was dragging his sister to the girl's bathroom in the dance school. Great if anyone sees him here.
"What are you doing?" Sam giggled when he let her go crouching down to check if all the stalls were indeed empty.
It was 7:30 pm and he had spent the past hours polishing the dance to perfection.
"Listen, Jungkook will come to pick me up in half and hour," Jimin was barely able to speak at how hard he was blushing.
"What!"
"Shush!"
"Wow... that's..."
"Scary, I know. What should I do?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean it's inappropriate, him picking me up so late to go somewhere. I have no idea where."
"His house, hotel room," Sam winked.
"Stop!" Now Jimin's toes were doing crazy dances in his shoes. He has never had anything with anyone waiting for his soulmate, just some awkward hand holding with Taehyung.
"Maybe I should go home and..." his mind went blank.
"Jimin!" Sam approached him putting her hand on his shoulder. "Make yourself looking presentable and go with the flow. Chances like that happen once."
Her words raised unwanted goosebumps. Was Jungkook just about getting into his pants to kick him out from his backup dancer' team the next day? It was highly possible, they weren't soulmates, they weren't anything, but... the tingling all over his skin was telling him that in a few minutes he will go out into the night to face the adventure anyway.
"What should I wear?" He freaked out.
"Go to the boy's locker, take a proper bath, put anything on, you're handsome so you're looking great in the plainest clothes."
"Stop!" He was blushing more because of the compliment.
"Just move, it's a quarter to eight!" Sam kicked his calf playfully.
"Um... that's the girls' restroom," Olivia pushed the door open sending Jimin a hateful glance.
"Really?" He laughed winking to Sam then storming out, as he had no more time and he needed to take a quick shower and change.
There was some soft warm drizzle falling from the startles sky, when Jimin left the dance studio to see a Hype company van parked in front of it, his toes moving in the trainers from excitement, his heartbeat getting crazy, so he placed the hood of the blazer over his drying hair.
"Jimin!" A low voice sounded and he almost fell on the pavement tripping over his own feet, barely catching balance.
There was Taehyung walking his way, wearing one of his elegant coats, holding a bunch of red roses.
Shit! Jimin glanced at the van speeding his steps up completely ignoring his unwanted soulmate.
"Jimin! Hey!" Taehyung shouted behind him, but he set off into a sprint as if he was chased by a herd of demons and some scary destiny, unfair fate that has always been against him.

Thank you so much for your lovely support and your kind words. What do you think about Jungkook's offer? Will Jimin go with him or will Taehyung get in between?
