"Good Morning, baby~" Jin sang as you walked into the kitchen.
It was Sunday morning. None of you had seen Lia after Namjoon and Yoongi talked to her. Not even during dinner. Not that any of you cared. 
Well, you did... and so did Namjoon. 
Although neither of you didn't like how she talked to you, the two of you didn't want her to not eat dinner. You decided to put a plate aside for her in case she decided to come out later in the night. 
And it looks like she took it. 
"Did you see a plate here?" You asked, and Jin shook his head. "I didn't."
"That means she took it," Namjoon suddenly said behind you, catching you by surprise. "Sorry, babe. Didn't mean to scare ya," he chuckled before placing a kiss on your forehead.
"Good Morning, my love," Jin said, causing Namjoon to smile. "Morning, hyung," he mumbled before kissing the older male on his cheek. 
"Seeing my soulmates like this makes me so happy," Jimin smiled. "Good Morning, everyone~" he sang. "Why does everyone seem to be in a good mood today?" Yoongi asked. 
"That's because it's a good day. I mean, we'll finally have the house to ourselves again. We can kiss and fuck in peace-" 
"Jimin. You literally had sex with Jin Friday night," Jungkook groaned. "I had to keep quiet, though."
"You were not quiet, Jimin. I mean, doing it against the wall that separates my room from Jin's..." Hoseok said. "Ugh, whatever."
"I wann-" 
"Guys..."
The eight of you turned to see Lia. She was stood with her hands to her sides, gripping on the bottom of her shirt. It was clear she wanted to say something. She was nibbling on her bottom lips. 
The room fell silent as you waited for Lia to say something. 
"I want to apologise to all of you-" 'We're not the ones you need to apologise to," Yoongi interrupted, causing Lia to sigh. 
"I know... I want to apologise to all of you, but most importantly to y/n. What I did yesterday wasn't acceptable. I made you uncomfortable where you're supposed to feel most comfortable. I asked some stupid questions and made false accusations because I was insecure," she began.
"I was... I was scared. Scared that now that they found you... I would get replaced. I was worried that I'd get replaced just like how Mingyu replaced me..."
You tried not to frown at the sudden name. Mingyu? Who the heck was Mingyu?
"Nothing can justify how I acted when you were just loving your soulmates, and I'm sorry. I hope you can forgive me." 
Lia's apology seemed genuine. But just because she apologised didn't mean you'd try to befriend her. You still didn't like the girl. Well... maybe you disliked her a little less now that she apologised. 
"I-I accept your apology, Lia. Luckily you didn't go too far. So... it's okay, I guess." She gave you a small smile before speaking again.
"And to the rest of you, I'm sorry too. I am sorry that I acted the way I did towards y/n. I'm sure you guys expected me to be kind and good to y/n, just like I am with the rest of you, but instead, I disrespected her."
Lia lowered her head and let out a sigh. "I'm sorry, and I hope all of you can forgive me."
"I didn't expect that from you, Lia... and I'm disappointed. But, I accept your apology," Namjoon said. "But don't think that because you apologised, I'll let you stay. A weekend is long enough. If you want to catch up, we can do it outside of my home." 
"That's okay. My dad will be back from his trip today, so... yeah." 
After everyone reluctantly accepted her apologies, breakfast was served. 
Breakfast wasn't as awkward as you expected it to be. The boys tried to make Lia feel included by occasionally starting a conversation with her. You tried to talk to her too. To release some of the lingering tension in the air. 
Lia went home after helping with dishes from breakfast. Jin offered to drop her off at her place, but she declined, saying that Sung-Ho would pick her up. 
 Before she left, Lia did ask about their anniversary... and whether they'd still do something or not. Your boyfriends didn't like the idea of the seven of them going out without you, so they told her they weren't going to celebrate it as they did before. 
You honestly think it's because of what Lia did, not because they didn't want to go out as a group without you. But it didn't matter. 
You were happy that you didn't have to worry about her anymore.
But there was one thing you were curious about. And it was who Mingyu was. The rest of your soulmates seemed to know who he was. 
So when Namjoon came back from walking Lia out, you decided to ask. 
"Uh, do you guys mind if I ask you a question?" You asked. "No, what's up?"
"I don't mean to pry, but... who's Mingyu? Lia mentioned their name, and it seemed like you guys know who it is."
"Ah... Mingyu..." Jimin muttered. "Mingyu was Lia's soulmate..." Your eyes widened in shock. This girl had a soulmate? You thought she didn't find her soulmate yet because no one ever mentioned it. 
"Yeah... just like the rest of us, Lia has a soulmate. Well... had a soulmate." 
"If you don't mind me asking... why do you guys say had. Did her soulmate pass away?" 
"No, he didn't... but he did disappear..." Namjoon told you. "She and Mingyu were a cute couple. They were all over each other too. Lia was happy with him, and he was happy with her... well, at least it looked like he was happy with her," Namjoon explained.
"Then what happened? How did he disappear?"
"One day, he rejected Lia. He told her he wasn't happy with her as his soulmate and ran off with another girl after breaking their bond."
You couldn't help but feel apologetic for her. Losing your soulmate at such a young age sucked. 
You heard the soulmate rejection was painful too. So you couldn't imagine the pain Lia had to go through when her soulmate rejected her. Even after forming a bond with her. 
Maybe that's why Lia acted the way she did. She was probably jealous that you were in a happy relationship with all seven of your soulmates when she couldn't be in one with her only soulmate. 
"Do you know anything about him now?" You asked, and they shook their heads. 
"Nah. It's like Mingyu disappeared off the face of the earth. We haven't seen from heard from him in ages. He changed his number and shit, so we couldn't get a hold of him." 
You couldn't help but wonder why Mingyu would reject Lia. You doubted it was because of the way she acts. She was probably a sweetheart before he decided to leave her. 
But it didn't matter. At least not to you, or rather, at least not yet.
