C'mon yo moonchild, moonchild
That's supposed to be
Yeah all the pain, all the sorrow

Namjoon pov

After a well-earned rest, the boys returned. Massive issues emerged in the week after their return. The news that Lisa from Blackpink had found her soul mate but that he had been killed in a horrible hit-and-run accident rocked the online community and all of South Korea. He was hit by a van driven by a saseang of Blackpink, who then fled but was eventually arrested by police. Although Jungkook was really depressed, he was unable to show his feelings for the idol.

They were secretly dating, but he called it quits when she found her yellow-stringed soul mate. The two of them were hidden to anyone but the Maknae-line. Although he could have texted her, he wanted to be there for her. Although she didn't want him to leave her, he simply couldn't.

Social media erupted even if the information wasn't breaking news. On social media, a photo of Namjoon with an unnamed female gained a lot of attention. Netizens were horrified. When they learned that Namjoon, their charismatic and endearing leader, had been implicated in a dating scandal, the Namjoon-stans were devastated.

Namjoon withheld the fact that he and Jia had advanced their alleged romance. For giving her hope for a future with him, he felt a little remorse. She firmly believes that she will be the one he ultimately chooses because his soulmate strings might be yellow.

He truly cares about Jia, but Namjoon is aware that when his soulmate appears, he might not want to push her away. Bighit had to put out flames caused by the recent rumours and comfort the army by clarifying that Namjoon is single and hasn't found his soul mate. They even had to admit that the images were Photoshopped. Even though some of them are certain that the photographs weren't a hoax, the ARMY was ecstatic.

The BTS leader was advised to discontinue his relationship with his so-called best friend, who everyone knows is more than just his best friend. Management was a touch stern with him. It was done to soothe the paparazzi's emotions. Joon loves his "girlfriend" and doesn't want to lose her, but he had to follow protocol and the rules, and the Bangtan boys felt really bad for him.

He became a little melancholy and depressed as a result. He just was unable to break the news to Jia that their relationship is now over and that sleeping with her was a mistake.

When Jin-Hyung found him, he was sitting in his room making notes on his bed. He looked up in a response to a soft knocking on the door.

"It's open," he said, closing his notebook and the song lyrics he was trying to write because his mind was so overflowing with ideas for a new song. He sets his books down on his nightstand while putting on a wary smile. Despite his overall relaxed demeanour, Jin could tell he was under a little bit of pressure.

"Hi, Joon the boys are a little concerned by your unusual silence, and I know you don't want to be bothered. I brought you some fruit snacks that I sliced up." As he observes his incredibly handsome Hyung, who always looked after them, Namjoon smiles with his endearing dimpled smile. Even though he is the official leader, he always treats Seokjin Hyung with the respect that comes with being the oldest.

With sincere gratitude, he replies, "Thanks Hyung...you are very caring."

The Jia problem occupied all of his thoughts.

He doesn't know how to formally end his relationship with her. He is certain that without receiving her late whisperer mark, she would not be able to move on. She has become his family as well as a wonderful and amazing friend. She stood by him as he was sharply criticized by the hip-hop community for betraying his genuine calling as a rapper.

Even though she isn't his soul mate, her kindness and affection helped him stay grounded even though there are still lingering feelings for his "moonchild," he is aware that he loves Jia. For the first time in years, hearing her voice stirred up strong, underlying emotions in him, but he knew that hoping would be pointless. A few days ago, his closest friend Jin-Goo informed him that his "moonchild's" arranged marriage had been finalized and that her parents had successfully rigged the system as a member of the Billionaires Legacy Club. When she turns 22 years old, on her next birthday, she will still get married.

Even though he urged her not to get married, Namjoon was puzzled and saddened by that situation. Even though he made up his mind to give Jia a chance, he prefers to wait for his soulmate and wants them to meet in order to achieve closure and finally move on. He was stressed out by his complicated love life right now.

The moral code watches issued a summons to Jia yesterday. For her first offence, she was fined $250,000. He offered her a significant sum to pay the fine. Now this new blow.   How badly can he mess up? And the fact that she is a growing star despite having lost a significant amount of money.

He turned to look at Seokjin, who was lounging on a blue couch next to an open window.

"Are you okay", Seokjin frowned.

As he bit into a succulent pineapple, Namjoon shrugged "It's just too much happening at once, but I'll manage it. I'm a little overwhelmed by the viral images, our comeback, our tour, my speech at the UNICEF conference, and our hectic schedules."

Seokjin grins "You'll be able to overcome every obstacle with ease. We adore you, Joon, and you are a formidable leader. Don't stress yourself too much about these things. Enjoy your mental peace. We are always here for you. Avoid overthinking things. Let it flow naturally —" Jin chuckled.

Namjoon laughs "I appreciate the support, Hyung, but I don't know how to break up with Jia, "he said with a sombre expression."Although she was ready for it, during the vacation—- "

Seokjin raised his eyebrows in anticipation of his response, and he furrowed his brows together.."She was prepared for it...but during the vacation---" As Seokjin raised his eyebrows in anticipation of his expansion, he furrowed his brows together.

 "—-during the vacation? What supposedly happened? We were all flabbergasted when you invited Jia along." Seokjin smiled cheekily.

Jin was astounded to detect a hint of red around Joon's cheeks and said, "Oh my gosh, something did happen in Chile—spill the tea now," as Namjoon chuckled nervously.

For fear of being judged, Namjoon was unable to look his Hyung in the eyes. However, lying to his loyal friend Hyung was quite challenging.

He said with a troubled expression, "e...we just enjoyed the sights and sounds of the country...but I suppose a might have caused Jia more grief."

"...what do you mean?" Jin appears perplexed.

Namjoon Standing up from his bed, he put the empty plate on his desk and murmured, "We er...slept together?" as he glanced at Jin. While he awaited shocked Jin's reaction, he took a deep breath.

"What the heck? Joon, Wow! —-" With wide eyes and an open jaws, Seokjin leapt to his feet."You showed her real love, Joonie. It makes sense why she is clinging to you. Her desire for you will increase if you share your body with her... Joon. You'll meet your soul mate, and she won't accept it. She lured you into temptation because she wants you to make her your wife." SeokJin only gave a head nod. It's unfathomable. Even though the lot of hyungs had hookups before their debut or before they met their soulmates, it was still a startling truth that Joonie was the only Hyung dating someone who wasn't his actual soul mate.

Exasperated, Namjoon throws his hand, "I was stupid, I know that. The issue is with my hormones. I chose to give in to the pressure. Jin-Hyung, you know I wanted to sleep with her. How in the world am I going to be able to hurt her feelings." While holding his hair in his hands, he was wiping away tears from his eyes.

"I understand, Joon. She was aware of your soul mark. She expected this day to come. I think it's partly her fault for letting you have her in that way. She is now forced to bear the burden. Although you're breaking up with her, I don't feel bad for you." Jim gave a sincere reply. He turns his gaze to the  Joon with a calculating look, "What about the lawyer you mentioned, your high school sweetheart? You two weren't scheduled to meet up at a show or fan event, were you?"

Joon appeared a little depressed; he is unsure of why, after hearing the news from Jin-Goo, he felt such anguish and defeat. "She is getting married- an arranged marriage. her best friend called me telling me she was engaged. I think he saw the online mess.  Seokjin-Hyung wa She is lost to me. I seriously lost her, and I never even got to experience her mature into a woman. We may be soulmates, so I wanted to check. Now that I've blown it, Jia and I's photos have gone viral. She is in no position to accept that there is no relationship between us". His voice was choked as he let it out. 

"This is a complete mess. Your true mate is out there waiting for you; just have trust in it. When you meet her, don't mess things up. Ignore Jias and the high school sweetheart. Now, try to pay attention to yourself." Jin-Hyung gently comforted him and hugged him on the side.

He replies quietly, "Thanks, Jin-hyung.

......

The group had a demanding dancing and appearance schedule in August as they got ready for the tour. The boys were excited about their upcoming tour with their soulmates. Jungkook and Jimin, the only ones without soulmates, merely shrugged it off because they would still enjoy their hotel stay by playing online games while Taehyung was with Yunru.

To finish her graduate degree, Jiho-Yoongi's girl returned to Yonsei University. In a year, she will complete it. She and Yoongi are deeply in love. When she's around, Yoongis completely transforms.

Namjoon made numerous attempts to get in touch with Y/n, but her phone was always on voicemail or she blocked him. He simply couldn't get in touch with her; it seemed as though she had vanished without a trace. The Hyungs once more note how broken his heart was. Even if the rumours were put to rest, Jin warned him that his sweetheart might have seen his viral images with Jia.

Jia was the one person Namjoon seems unable to leave. While his heart was doing all it could to resist what his head knew to be the right action to do. How could he destroy his "best friend" in such a way?

When American rapper Drake dropped his most recent music video, the boys were so ecstatic to see Jhope dancing in the credits. It was well known that Hobi admired Drake and had been acquainted with the musician since their Billboard cover story from the previous year.

A few days later, Most Beautiful Moment In Life—the highly anticipated album—was released in association with Love Yourself: Answer. The entire globe's army went insane and rushed to obtain their own copies.

After two days Big Hit also reveals that BTS's first-ever stadium-sized performance in the United States will take place in October at Citi Field in New York City. The most coveted and prestigious ticket for the ARMY has already been bombarded everywhere.

 The expectation and anticipation were overwhelming. Nothing could stop them, especially after the RIAA certified their song "Fake Love" as gold.

Namjoon was in a euphoric mood after the recent excitement and was preoccupied with preparing his speech. Even the South Korean media was excited about how well the BTS leader would represent their nation in politics. Their president was even a huge ARMY.

After a busy week of rehearsals and preparations, the Bangtan guys were taking it easy at Presidents Hill.

The Bells were having a great time at the pool while outdoors. They just enjoyed a delicious Korean BBQ.

The Bells, their soulmates, were laughing and making fun of each other while the Hyungs were unwinding in their lounge chairs. Jhope and his Akira couldn't keep their eyes off each other, they were still in the intense honeymoon phase of their relationship.

Jimin and Jungkook were laughing so hard. Taehyung was only grinning because he is familiar with the experience.

While watching their Hyungs from the open TV lounge, the maknae were enjoying PlayStation games.

After watching Jhope and his girl, Jimin chuckled and said, "That's what happens when you reject the bond and when you are hooked by fate, you'll be like under a love spell," turning to Jungkook.

Jungkook grinned "They won't last, in my opinion, they seem too thirsty for each other, "The two laughed hysterically when Jhope unexpectedly grabbed Akira by the hand and led the way downstairs to their personal man cave, which included a dance studio, an indoor basketball court, and a private lounge.

Jimin and Jungkook exchanged high-fives.

Jungkook chuckles, saying, "Told you so.

Jimin regretfully smiles "At least they are happy at the moment. But the amount of passion between them makes me sad."

Jungkook observed Hyung's melancholy facial expression. Everyone is aware of Jimin's struggles with forgetting the girl he loved so deeply. Love was obvious at first sight. After being made to break up with her by management, he wasn't the same.

"Hyung, you will find her once more. Maintain your optimism. She is "it" for you, I'm sure." To comfort his  Hyung, he pressed his hand. Just squeezing his lips together, Jimin made a simple smile on his face. Nobody is aware of how much misery he conceals in his heart when he is alone with his thoughts. He yearns for her tremendously.

"Yeah. Still, Kookie, I love her." He spoke in a calm, distant tone.

Jungkook nods, "I know."

They suddenly heard an outcry of excitement. Just now, BangPd and Namjoon were on the phone.

Even the Bells were on their feet waiting for Joonie to tell them what had him in such a mood when Jungkook and Jimin noticed the enthusiasm in their Hyungs' demeanour."Keep in mind that we were nominated for the Teen Choice Award. Oh my goodness, guys. ARMY won the choice fanbase, and we won the  Choice International Artist award. Holy cow!"

The guys were excitedly bouncing up and down. Screams of ecstasy were heard, and soon Jhope and Akira appeared. When Jhope learned the news, He took his soulmate in his arms and began dancing around. She simply chuckles at her silly sunshine.

"Wow, that's amazing!" When Yoongi and Jin bump fists, Jin yells. There was real excitement.

"Look, social media is out of control." Taehyung displays his Twitter mentions to them, saying, "ARMY is very excited."

"We need to go on Vlive to congratulate the Army and to thank them for supporting and voting for us," says Namjoon with a smile."We're also going to conduct an interview to thank Teen Choice. When the crew arrives, be prepared. "Namjoon speaks in a warning tone.

"I have no issue as long as you do all the talking", Yoongi grinned and nodded to the others before taking Jiho's hand and leading the way to Yoongi's suite while waving to the still-excited group.

Namjoon calls after the two chuckling mates, "The team will be here in two hours... Yoongs."

"Ok!I get it "Yoongi grumbles. He desires to take a nap while cuddling his soul mate near to him.

They leave the room and Jiho turned around and says with a smile, "I'll wake him up in time, don't worry Joon."

"Let me quickly bake a chocolate cake as a celebratory gift, how's that?"Samiya claps her hands in delight. Everyone yearned for some chocolate cake.

"I'm going to help noona," said an ecstatic Jungkook.

"He is more interested in the choc dough", Jimin shook his head.

Jungkook simply stuck his tongue out.

Samiya grinned and dragged the young maknae to the kitchen by his arm. Jimin and Jin made the decision to go assist in the baking. When the cake is finished, Jin and Jimin will decorate it.

Hobi and Akira joined Taehyung and Funsize's "Yunru" for a refreshing dip in the pool.

Namjoon went back to his room to make some important phone calls when he received a text from Jia.
