Jin's pov
It was finally the day when our soul group will gain its last member, our beautiful soulmate, our y/n. I dreamt of this day since I joined the soul group, in fact from the day I knew I had to take care of seven more soulmates.
Yes, people were looking at us with scrutinizing gazes, and im very grateful that I had found many of my mates at a young age. The only thing that pains me is that while all of us were happy, joyous, our little girl had no one beside her. No one to rely on, no one to call her own. I was looking at the mirror in my room, looking at my reflection that had the same dream for years, on how beautiful would it be when our group is complete, when our soulmate finally gets to claim all of us.
When she would finally have to stop waiting to call us hers.
I was happy, indeed. But a part in me was dying to tell her how bad I wanted to hold her close to me when I have a few nightmares, one where I lose one of them. How badly I want to kiss her as I braid her hair, or as we share an intimate moment- not sexual- where its just the two of us, or maybe all of us.
Im grateful that all the guys had taken the initiative to set up the perfect lunch date for her, it's a sacred procedure, a sacred moment. And im even more grateful that they choose to respect our time together, one of the many plus sides of a poly relationship.
The sixteen-year-old me, would have laughed at you if you told him, this is what its gonna be like. His palm sweating, while he contemplates all his previous life decisions as he gets ready for the final bonding. He would've definitely laughed if you told him that he will be the mama-bird for seven little people he would absolutely grow to adore with all his heart.
I smile at my reflection in the mirror, somehow a magical tingle curses through my veins that calms me down. I hear a knock on the door, making me cut off the train of thoughts, I look at the door, seeing our group's youngest leaning on the door, looking at me in a way I can't comprehend.
"You look great babe" he says, making me smile again, hiding the confidence I had previously gathered far back in my mind. "Do I now?" I ask, fixing the little jacket I had worn on top of my outfit to match the lunch vibe. He pushes himself off the doorframe and steps up to me, creeping behind my back and engulfing me in a back hug, "always have" he kisses my clothed shoulder, making me smile.
"Why, thank you" I tap his hands that wrap securely around my waist. "I have a date to attend now, and I believe you have some work assigned as well?" he nods, as I look back at him- you won't believe im not flexible if I tell you how I turned my body to face him whilst also standing while facing the mirror- and raise an eyebrow at him. "I've set the basket up, the strawberry cake is secured separately so it would not squash while on the move, the fruit basket, the juices and milkshakes, everything set up in one basket while the sandwiches, and bakery items are secured in one. Everything is as ready as it could be. Oh also, yoongi cooked you some kimbap for breakfast since you haven't had anything. The guys are waiting for you downstairs" he says, almost rapping. I look at him with an unreadable expression, how could I be more grateful for all of them?
My heart swelled with an emotion I can't put into words. I turn myself yet again, this time with my feet facing him as I pull him into a bone crushing hug. He chuckled, pulling me closer- if even possible- towards him. "All good jinnie?" he asks, his voice having the same magical effect from a few moments ago, calming my anxious nerves. It wouldn't need a genius to figure out the calming effect. It was because of Jungkook. "Yeah, just," I find myself at a loss of words. "I feel so happy" I tighten my grip around his neck, "and very, very blessed" he pulls himself back and makes me face him. Cups my cheek and presses a chaste kiss to my lips, giving the same calmness, just more intensified.
I smile in The kiss, the inner child satisfied with the love they were giving to him.
Im happy.
Finally.
