Just as he realized that there was going to be language barriers, Jungkook heard a knock on the door to his right. Startled, he walked over and opened the door very slowly.

"Sweetheart? Are you OK?" an older woman asked him. Jungkook assumed this was her mother. Upon realizing this, he quickly bowed and said sorry; which also came out weird because he wasn't used to this new voice.

"Hey! Hey! It's OK! You must be the person she switched with." the woman said, trying to calm him down. Jungkook was obviously not calm because he could hardly pick up on what she was saying because she was talking way too fast for him. So, before she could go on, Jungkook spoke up to the best of his ability.

"I don't understand. I am Korean." He got out. The woman immediately nodded and smiled. She then surprised Jungkook with speaking Korean fluently

"Don't worry! We are from Korea as well! The only thing is that my daughter does not know very much Korean. We can work on that. What is your name?" She asked, speaking very clearly. Jungkook was stunned but grateful to know that it wasn't a completely lost cause for him.

"My name is Jeon Jungkook." He said with wide eyes. "uh... Nice to meet you Mrs. Uhh"

"Ahn. My name is Ahn Hyo Min. You are in my daughter's body, her name is Luna." Her mother gently smiled. "Is there anything you need? Did she leave messages for you?"

That's when Jungkook turned around and motioned for Mrs. Ahn to follow him to the desk behind him. She followed closely behind, curious of what he found. He picked up the notes and passed them to her hoping she'd translate them without having to ask.

Mrs. Ahn immediately knew what Jungkook wanted and took a look at what Luna wrote.

"Ahh it's just her name, address, and phone passcode." She said quietly. She pressed her lips into a thin line, a little disappointed that that was all Luna left for him. Mrs. Ahn felt as though there needed to be more for him than just that. "Instead of this, I will tell you about Luna myself. You should know more than just this." She nodded to Jungkook, gesturing for him to follow her up the stairs into the living room.

The two made their way through the small house. They walked past another older man in the kitchen who Jungkook assumed was Luna's dad. He immediately bowed with great respect and her dad just let out a chuckle.

Mrs. Ahn shook her head with a small smile. "Dae-Jung, this is Jungkook" She said in Korean which made Mr. Ahn confused. He quickly understood after a couple of seconds of thinking and got excited.

"So you're Korean!" He said excitedly. "And very respectful. We should start asking Luna to do this right Hyo Min?" He continued happily and Mrs. Ahn giggled at the remark, making Jungkook smile as well. Mr. Ahn then brought Jungkook into a hug and said "I can't wait to meet you for real. I guess we're going to have to break into the money we saved in case Luna's soulmate was foreign." He gave Junkook a sweet wrinkled smile.

"Well I'm going to be talking to Jungkook for a bit about Luna. We'll just be in the living room if you need us." Mrs. Ahn said, pulling him by the arm out of the kitchen and into a family room hardly the size of Jungkook's bathroom. He looked around before sitting down on the tiny couch next to Mrs. Ahn. It made him realize how overwhelming the penthouse must have been for Luna.

Oh no I hope Joonie is taking care of her... I hope she's OK... It must have been really scary for her to be in a different country, with a different language, in a huge house, not knowing what to do, and she is only 18... Oh my God I'm a horrible --

"Jungkook?" Mrs. Ahn snapped Jungkook out of his thoughts, "Did you hear my question? Are you OK?" She asked tentatively, the slightest bit of worry in her eye from what he could tell.

"Yes, I'm alright. Could you please repeat the question?" He said a little embarrassed that he wasn't paying enough attention. He felt the slightest bit of heat rise to his cheeks.

Mrs. Ahn sighed, but was gentle with him and said her question again. "How old are you?" Simple but important information.

"I'm 22" He replied just as simply.

"Alright. Luna is 18 and still in the process of finishing her schooling. She is very focused on how she is doing in school, so we might have to wait until the end of the semester before we can meet you two up." She explained, looking at him with a tiny bit of empathy. She knew what it was like not being able to see your soulmate right away. "Now, what is your profession? I assume you're just starting to get jobs after your first four years in University."

"Well, uh... I'm an idol. Like, a K-pop Star..." Jungkook hesitated. He was never one to talk about his fame openly to people he was trying to get to know. He could see the questioning in Mrs. Ahn's face. Ultimately, he went forward with what he was saying. "Do you know BTS? I'm one of the members."

Her jaw dropped and she lost some of the colour in her face. "You're THE Jeon Jungkook?! I knew the name I just thought it was a coincidence. Oh my goodness what are we going to do?"

Mrs. Ahn was freaking out in a negative way that Jungkook didn't fully understand. Why would this be a big deal? "I'm sure it'll be fine, I can make all of the arrangements for her to come to Seoul. And you won't have to worry about anyth-"

She cut him off...

"The one thing Luna didn't want was fame..."
