"I love you, Renjun."
"I love you too, Sooyeon."
All of a sudden, a bright light and fog engulfed the room, causing Sooyeon and Renjun to cover their eyes.
Once it was safe enough to see again, they were met with many people in the living room— very unfamiliar people.
"Hola bitchach-oh." The person who was very enthusiastic to speak was interrupted by sounds of two babies crying.
"You might wanna get that." The person said, pointing upstairs while Renjun and Sooyeon stared at them in complete shock, wondering if it was safe to move.
"We'll explain everything just get those babies cause they're not gonna stop crying." Someone else said.
With hesitance, Sooyeon stood up and glanced at Renjun, practically telling him with her eyes to stay there and make sure those strangers did nothing. Renjun immediately took the hint and gave a simple nod but decided to do something else as well.
Renjun grabbed his phone and was about to dial the police until someone stopped him.
"Let's not do that." That someone said, which happened to be Jeno as he snatched Renjun's phone from him.
"Hey boo." Haechan said, shocking Renjun even more.
"Now what in the world." Renjun muttered as he stared at everyone in front of him who stood awkwardly. The only people Renjun could recognize from the group were Jaemin, Jiyeon, Jeno, Kyungmi, Haechan, Yunhee and...
Baekhyun.
Sooyeon emerged from the stairs with the twins who were clinging onto her, not wanting to let go but she froze at the sight of the strangers, their own friends and her brother standing there.
"Hey!" Baekhyun nonchalantly said, throwing a wave as Sooyeon had her eyes wide open.
She slowly and hesitantly began to walk back to Renjun, handing him Dea as she refused to take her eyes off the people on the living room.
"Explain." She said, pointing to her brother. She had on a serious expression but in actuality, she was terrified at how everyone just appeared out of thin air.
"If I'm being honest, I have no clue what to say. This is my first time doing this so I'd let them explain." Baekhyun said, pointing to the strangers in her home.
"Okay so let's start with introductions. I'm—"
"I'm Hendery!" Someone said, completely cutting off the previous person.
"See I oughta beat you—"
"He's YangYang, I'm Xiaojun, that's Shotaro and Sungchan." The boy now known as Xiaojun said as he pointed to everyone with their corresponding names, making them all wave.
"Who are they?" Renjun asked, pointing to the other people.
"We're just observing them on how they do. See, we're more experienced with this and they're not so we let them take the lead on this. We're making sure they don't mess up." Someone said with a kind smile.
"I'm Kun. They are Taeil, Johnny, Ten, Lucas, WinWin, Yuta, and Jungwoo." The boy now known as Kun introduced and pointed at everyone else.
"And what are you guys doing here?" Sooyeon asked, still confused with everything as Yejun played with her hair.
"Oh right we forgot about that. We're your soulmate fairies!" Hendery enthusiastically exclaimed, expecting a big reaction but only saw blank faces from the soulmates.
"This is not what I was expecting." Hendery muttered to Sungchan who nodded in agreement.
"Elaborate." Renjun said, making YangYang groan.
"We basically watched you guys and how everything went with your soulmate life. We have to stay watching until you two say 'I love you' to each other which is why we're here." Sungchan explained proudly, making Sooyeon and Renjun 'ah'.
"Why are they here then?" Sooyeon asked, pointing to her brother and their friends.
"We knew we needed help since they don't wanna help us." YangYang said, glaring slightly at the more experienced members while Jungwoo gave finger hearts in return.
"Can I hold Yejun?" Baekhyun asked his sister who handed him the baby but did not take her eyes off the people in the room.
"So we said 'I love you', now what? Do you guys just live with us or something cause if you do, I'm kicking you all out." Renjun said and everyone shook their heads, minus their friends and brother who shrugged.
"We're just here for the final decision." Shotaro explained softly, making Sooyeon and Renjun gush slightly.
"What's the final decision." Renjun asked.
"Do you want to keep your babies or would you rather not have them anymore? Their job on bringing you together is done." YangYang said, which made Baekhyun butt in.
"Can you keep them please? I like them." Baekhyun begged Sooyeon and Renjun, playing with Yejun's hand at the same time.
Sooyeon looked at Renjun who held Dea. When they both looked at the twins, they knew it would be too hard to let them go.
"We'll keep them." Renjun said as he pat Dea's back, bouncing her slightly as she smiled.
"Okay great and now it's our time to head out." Hendery said, jumping as he was excited to get home.
"You guys were amazing by the way." Xiaojun complimented making the soulmates smile.
"Yunhee and I we're better." Haechan boasted.
"You literally hated her."
"That's in the past."
"Oh wait! Can you guys like take us home? I don't wanna walk back home again." Jaemin said and Jiyeon agreed.
"I literally live in Busan. Take me too!" Baekhyun said as he handed Yejun back to Sooyeon.
"Alright get ready then."
Everyone bid goodbye to the family before the fog engulfed the people and with the flash of a light, they all disappeared.
"Our food's cold now." Sooyeon said which made Renjun laugh out as that was her first words after everything that just happened.
"We'll just heat it up." He told her and she smiled before pecking his cheek.
"I love you." She told him with a smile and Renjun placed a soft kiss on her lips in return.
"I love you more."
With that, the soulmates placed their babies in their play area as they heated up their food and ate.
Everything was perfect and the two really could say life couldn't get better.
───── ⋆⋅♡ ⋅⋆ ─────
"I loved them." Jungwoo said as he gushed at how perfect the soulmates were together.
"Man, we pick the best people."
"I'm gonna miss them."
"So am I but who knows, maybe we can see them again in the future?"
"Hopefully."
"In the meantime, let's just wish them a happy life."
One person held a glass in the air while everyone copied.
"To Sooyeon and Renjun!"
"To Sooyeon and Renjun."
Everyone downed the drink as the orb they observed from faded off into its original clear color.
