BTS Imagines 2 [REWRITING]

Jimin ♡ Red String of Fate

***

I hugged my pillow tightly, stretching my legs as I slowly started to wake up, slipping out of dreamland. I groan as I roll over, peeling my eyes open only to squeeze them shut because of the harsh sun peeking through my curtains.
After convincing myself to just suck it up and deal with it, I opened my eyes again, squinting. I brought my hands up to wipe my eyes, when pulling them away I noticed something red, causing me to gasp. I thought it was blood and maybe I'd somehow cut myself on something while asleep. It was when my eyes finally focused that I realized it was a red string. I let out a yelp, sitting upright in bed, following the string with my eyes, seeing that it led outside of my bedroom.

"Oh my gosh." I whisper in disbelief. "No way."

I get out of bed and start digging through my closet, looking for some clothes to wear. I end up grabbing a random t-shirt and some shorts. I'm surprised to see that I was able to change shirts with no problem. I thought maybe the string would be an issue.
I roll my eyes, realizing my ignorance.

It's an invisible string, of course it'll go through clothes.

I shake my head and slip on my shoes before freshening up and heading out. I followed the string down the hallway of my apartment and into the lobby only to stop in my tracks.
I have no idea what I'm thinking, my soulmate could be miles away. But red strings show up when you've crossed paths with your soulmate. Even if he could be far away, I believe it's worth a shot to try and find him because, well, what if my soulmate lives just down the street?
I step out onto the busy sidewalk and start following the red string. I can't help but wonder who's on the other side of it. What does he look like? What are his hobbies? Is he awake now too? Did he decide to follow this string? Is he funny? Is he the tough type or the cute type?

So many endless questions swirl around in my mind as I once again brave the crowd. I maneuver around the pedestrians, busy going about their day. I started walking faster, hope riding in my chest at the mere thought of finally finding my soulmate. Some people gave me odd looks as I passed by, probably because I look like a madwoman rushing past everyone.

At one point, the string starts to veer off towards the road. I stop at the nearest crosswalk, staring at the red string that stretches across the busy city street. I watch the light, impatiently tapping my foot against the pavement, waiting for that tiny man to pop up and signal that it was safe to cross.
Finally, the light changed and I was able to continue my journey.

I don't know how long I followed, it must have been two hours. I was starting to notice familiar buildings and businesses. My heart sank as I noticed one of the clothing stores near my house.

I've just gone in one big circle.

At this point, I was ready to give up and go home. I sighed, walking to a park just a few minutes down the street. I just need to sit for a moment and think.
When I get to the park, I immediately walk over to a nearby bench, dragging my feet as I did so.

My hope is dwindling down to nothing. What started as a burning flame is now a small ember beginning to smolder.

I sigh, dropping down onto the bench, leaning against the back of it.

What was I thinking?

I've wasted my time.

What if I never find him?

I drop my head, staring down at the red string tied to my pinkie. My heart sank as everything crashed down on me. I can't help but feel like I got my hopes up too soon. I got excited about having a soulmate and jumped ahead of myself. Who knows how many years it'll be until I finally meet him.

I felt a little tickle on my pinkie, like some sort of faint movement. I furrow my brows, looking at my finger. The string started moving again. I blinked a few times, unsure if I was just seeing things or not. Sure enough, the string was moving side to side like the person on the other end was walking, or maybe running. I quickly stood up, following the string, my heart racing. I started to pick up the pace, staring down at the red string. Seconds later I bumped into someone's chest, so hard In fact that I almost fell over. Someone's arms wrap around me, steadying my body.

"We've gotta stop meeting like this." A soft and velvety voice says.
My eyes widen, recognizing the voice, even though I've only heard it one other time. I look up, my eyes meeting with soft brown ones. The man I bumped into on the street yesterday stands in front of me, a huge grin on his face as he holds his pinkie up. I let out a gasp, looking down at my own pinkie. My eyes follow the red string from my finger to his. I look at it for a moment, making sure this is real.
"I'm Jimin." He introduced himself.
"Y/n." I answer, my mind buzzing. "I never thought I'd find my soulmate." I mutter in disbelief.
"Me either. I didn't even think I had one until yesterday."
"Yesterday? My string appeared overnight."
"So did mine."
I furrow my brows.
"As soon as we bumped into each other, I had this tugging at my heart. I wasn't sure if that meant anything or not, until I woke up the next day with this."
I look at him, my mind swirling with questions.
"How did you find me?" I ask.
"I followed the string. I left my house first thing this morning and just went wherever the string went, though at some point I think I was going in circles."
"Me too. I've been looking for you all day, but the string just led back to my neighborhood. That's when I decided to come sit at the park. I read honestly ready to give up."
"That explains why it took so long to find you." Jimin chuckled.
"You know, I think we're pretty lucky."
"How so?" He asks.
"Most people don't find their soulmates the day their red string appears. For all I know, you could've lived in a different city."
"That's true." He smiled showing off the most perfect teeth I've ever seen. "Well," He started. "Both of us have been at it today, following each other around. I'm sure you're hungry."
"Actually I am."
"Perfect. Would you like to go get something? It could be our first date?" He asked with a cheeky grin making my heart flip.
"I think that would be really nice."

QOTD: Do you read people's Wattpad bios?

AOTD: I do! If I wanna know more about a person I usually go check their bio and see if there's any interesting info about them. Like their age, how long they've had wattpad, what groups they like etc.
I spent a lot of time making sure my bio was aesthetically pleasing but not too crowded and honestly I'm not sure anyone even looks at it 😂 but it makes me feel good knowing I have a cute bio lol
