Red String of Fate (Taekook AU)

Chapter 6: Min's Manifest

'You will need to sew my mouth in the end then, appa...' Jimin said.

'You are testing my patience today, Chim.'

'I saved and hid your favorite shirt, before dad threw it to the rags... And this is how you return the favor? ' Jimin pouted cleverly, playing hurt.

'You mean my old, limited edition League of Legends shirt?' Chanyeol gasped.

'That is exactly the shirt I'm talking about...' Jimin confirmed.

Chanyeol was battling inside himself between wanting to save his favorite shirt that was older than Jimin and his parental instinct. He knew that if Baekhyun would find that shirt, next time he would see it it would be used as a rag to clean the floor...

'One hour.' he said finally, turned off the light and closed the door.

In the darkness of the room three boys were looking at the black ceiling, until Jimin finally said, satisfied:

'I knew he wouldn't sacrifice that old rag...'

All three started to giggle and soon after it changed into a loud laughter, they tried to muffle. Jungkook hid his face in Taehyung's shoulder, and Taehyung was pressing both of his hands to his mouth, while Jimin was biting his palm to not let out a sound. 

Bluemold walked to them and laid between Taehyung and Jimin purring loudly.

Exhausted by laughter Jungkook was fast asleep pressed to Taehyung's shoulder. Taehyung checked if he was covered properly and fixed his hoodie.

Jimin turned on the side to look at Taehyung's profile. He caressed the fur of the cat.

'How is it? Knowing your soulmate?' he whispered.

'I don't know how it is not knowing him, so... I don't know...' Taehyung whispered back.

'Are all Holders as protective over their Sealers as you?'

Jimin was curious. He was a Sealer. He was wondering if his soulmate was somewhere out there and if he would be like Taehyung. Yoohyeon was a Sealer as well and she didn't meet her soulmate either. So he couldn't ask her. And he knew his father, Jin and Minji were Holders too but they were married adults. He didn't want to ask them...

Taehyung was thinking about how to answer.

'I don't think only the Holders are protective... I know Jungkook is too. He is just younger so... I guess it's a bit of that too...'

'I wonder when I will meet my soulmate. I'm sure she or he is amazing!' Jimin said, smiling widely.

'I bet he or she is a savage badass...' Taehyung giggled.

'Whoaa?! Why?!' Jimin felt offended over his unknown mate.

'Because only a savage badass wouldn't be afraid to unseal the soul of Satan Mochi...' he said calmly.

'Yah! You pabo!' Jimin hit his shoulder and Bluemold hissed, protesting against disturbing his sleep.

Jimin pouted and fell silent. It was not like him and Taehyung felt a bit uneasy now thinking he made him sad.

'Chim... I was joking... I'm sure it will be a great person...'

'Mhmm... I just hope I don't meet them when I am 40 and ugly...'

'You are an Eadar-eisimeileach, even when you will be 40, you will look like 20.'

'Oh, that's true... I will still be fu... freaking beautiful.' Jimin nodded to himself satisfied and hid his face inside Bluemold's furr. 'Sometimes... I have dreams about a boy...' he whispered. 'Do you think it can be him?'
