My heart is pounding tonight

Both pov

That evening after you came from the executive lounge you and Taehyung enjoy your togetherness because you had to go back to Uni the next evening after you landed in Incheon. Taehyung was an extra clingy self. When the time came nearer for you to go back it seemed your cute little bear wants more of you. As if he suffers from abandonment issues. He doesn't want you to go to sleep so early. He still wanted to cuddle and talk.

Where you lay in his arms, reminiscing about your time together and the concert you'd thoroughly enjoyed despite your initial hesitancy due to the loud ARMY crowd. The senior editor was absolutely lovely and provided you with edited footage of the pure excitement of the performances. What amazed you were the USB-powered army bombs that flashed different colors. It was amazing to see the massive fandom in Australia. You wish Sana, LiuMei, and Dahyun could be present. They are entitled to see their boys, whom they adore, in action. It's a sight to behold. You could just stand there and marvel at their energetic dance moves. It was thrilling.

You could simply smile inwardly with contentment as your Taelove enjoys himself by tenderly caressing you in his arms. He was softly kissing you in your neck fold, and you couldn't help giggling at the light pecks that sent chills down your spine. Every moment you spend with your soulmate is priceless to you.

Your energy levels were extremely high. The neatness invigorated you both, and the red gold string was satisfied.

"I'm going to miss you terribly, baby. Can't you join me on my tour... Without you by my side, Japan will appear gloomy." He whines in your ear, breathlessly. You simply smirk as you delicately rub his chest.

Your sensual movements across his chest made him stiffen. He took a deep, audible breath. to suppress his sudden desire for his girl She is often oblivious of the doings of a full-blooded male laying in bed with her.

You chuckled as you looked up at him "I have an exam coming up, and my study time must be dedicated entirely to studying. I want to be successful in my film studies. I'll see you after my exams in about two weeks...and I promise I'll make it up to you. I'll miss you as well, baby." You turn on your side against him, you wrap your arm around his neck, and gently pull his face down, planting a lingering kiss full of promises on his soft lips. His lips were moist and soft as he began to eagerly respond to your kiss. You absolutely love this boy so much. You have no idea what you will do without him in your life. He is your anchor. Your destiny ...your heart outside of your body.

Taehyung's magnificent eyes were hooded as he chuckled softly as he flipped his strong body over your petite form. The closeness causes your breathing to speed up because of the intimacy of the situation which caused you to exhale sharply. You could feel both of your bodies reacting to the closeness. You couldn't understand why you suddenly reacted this way after being in the same scenario so many times. But there was something different about the atmosphere tonight.

He grins as he peers down on your sudden bright red face, "Are you feeling all hot and bothered....darling?" he wiggled his eyes as your jaw dropped at his subtle seduction.

You gulp visibly as you lock your gazes on each other. Being so near becomes a little too close for comfort. Because of your physical restraint, you and your soulmate are the envy of others, but as you grow closer in this red-gold system marriage. You were well aware that your resolve would not last. You desire him as much as he desires you.

"Taelove...I think we're entering dangerous territory." with your palms firmly on his chest.

With a dry mouth, you stammer it out. You couldn't catch your breath. His body on yours elicits strange thoughts and feelings. The air around you had become electrified, and you could tell your soulmate no longer cared.

"We're strong and oh, gosh darling! I desperately want to be with you."He slumped down, his head on your soft neck folds...and murmured, "But I'll wait until you're ready...because I love you." He lifted his head and kissed your smiley lips tenderly.

"I love you as well. Taelove. We'll know when we're ready... don't rush... okay?" You wrapped both your arms around his neck, drew him closer, and kissed him intensely...

.....

The following day...

\

The 10:45 a.m. charter flight was strangely quiet. They knew their adorable member, who constantly bothers everyone, would be missed. There was no hysterical laughter. There will be no cameras in everyone's faces, and no talking to the ARMY. EATJIN is not supported. Jimin is in an odd stoic mood.

He barely touched his delicious breakfast. His heart was too heavy. You and Taehyung decided to join him and sit with him on the flight, but he was unable to open up just yet. Even Jhope tried with his cheerfulness. But Jimin just wanted to be alone.

The band was unconcerned. They know a lot about Chim Chim. He'll be back to his flirtatious self soon, much to their surprise. Jimin slept the entire flight, not speaking or laughing with anyone. He couldn't just lose his 'Red.' His bodyguards could tell he was in mental anguish by his demeanor.

When you arrive at the terminal, airport security will also serve the famous group as they make their way to the baggage claim area. The crew was on duty, and the bodyguards ensured that no saseang fans harassed the boys.

Jimin was extremely quiet, and Taehyung and Jungkook surrounded him to ensure he felt their support. Jhope simply patted him on the back to reassure him of his support.

"Are you all right, Chimmy?" Taehyung spoke quietly next to Jimin, whose bodyguard handed him his carry-on luggage bag. Jimin silently thanked him and took it. The Hyungs appear concerned now. They are hoping that his overall mood will not interfere with his performance. But Taehyung acknowledged Jimin as a professional.

"Everything will work out, Chimmy," Jungkook says as he pats Jimin on the arm. You will see. Just hang in there. We are all there for you."

Jimin simply nodded quietly without saying anything. Jungkook dislikes it when Hyung appears detached from the group. How deeply did his hyung love a girl? They were all convinced it was one of his flings.

Yoongi was only staring at his phone with a goofy expression on his face. He was wearing a mask, but everyone could see how happy the little meow meow was. He and his soulmate are inseparably in love. He told them that she had an issue with another Blackpink member. They are not on speaking terms. As a result, he had to cheer up her and lavish her with extra love.

When they returned to Incheon International Airport, you were strolling with the rest of the crew, and you and Samiya were walking incognito with a few of the managers and your bodyguards. Nobody knows that when you were with the boys, Mr. Wang, Mr. Park, and Sade were your personal assigned bodyguards.

Jin was holding the billboard award that they had achieved. A subtle jab at the critiques. Yoongi and Namjoon simply shook heads. He and Samiya swapped secret glances. The crew just smirked internally. Namjoon smiles at his hyung's confidence in walking with their award in front of entire Korea. Some jealous netizen stated on social media that it was just a paper award.

Yoongi was scoffing and commended the group on the fact that in a year or two, all the agencies will WANT that so-called paper award for their artists. ARMY was once again on blast, sparking a heated debate about how other fandoms should start working harder for their artists to win these types of awards and stop watching what other fandoms do for their beloved artists. What you put in will come out. That concludes the story!!

When you and Taehyung caught each other's gaze, you just chuckled. With his grey beanie and big reading glasses, he looks like a college nerd.

"Your Taelove looks like a young grandpa with his suspenders," Samiya grinned playfully as you took your small carry-on bag. "His fashion sense never ceases to amaze me," she said in your ear. You could snort quietly.

He does look peculiar. Looking discreetly at him makes you utterly breathless. He is the word "hot". Your soulmate is a true fashionista and the media had a field day with their airport looks. Samiya informs you that it is a big thing for kpop artists to look really good when they depart or arrive from the airport. There is mostly a lot of hype about what they wear. That is why the stylist work also hard in compiling the boy's clothing. 

You were amazed at the expensive clothes the boys were clothed in from very high-end brands. When they often wear a particular outfit, that outfit would be sold out by ARMY in minutes. You scoff...Really! 

Samiya laughs softly "True. Jins'' fashion sense drives me up the hall. Sometimes I think he just does it to annoy me. But I adore my pink princess." She looked at him, who was walking smugly behind his bodyguards. Their security detail had surrounded them in safety.

You look flustered as you reflect on last night, thinking that both of you couldn't get enough of each other. Your little bear craved your undivided attention, as made evident by his heated caressing and intense kisses; he didn't want you to sleep. Because your bond has been revitalized and you both feel energized... You could make -out for a few more hours.  You must assume that your soulmate has magical retrait because you were the one who stopped breathing of desire for him.

Taehyung will be ready for any demanding performances in Japan. His soulmark has been settled for at least three weeks. That gave you some assurance that he would be fine until you could reunite. Jin-hyung would be fine because his Samiya will accompany him on tour.

 The management is elated because the eldest huyng is a total drama queen who will drive even the maknae-line insane with his complaining and whining. Only the beautiful Samiya could deal with him. You can hardly wait to meet them in two weeks. Liu Mei is overjoyed to be joining Samiya and the famous BTS stylish crew. At the front of the stage, you will be part of the editing and video crew. You both can't wait, but that can only happen after you pass your final exam.

You only spent a relaxing day with Bangtan at Presidents Hill, you gave them each a little goodbye gift in the form of special custom friendship bracelets, and you had to say goodbye to a distraught Taelove as you flew back to Beijing by charter. Taehyung will leave the next day because poor Jimin had a stern meeting with Bangpd and management. The punishment was not severe, but he lost his freedom and privileges as the eldest of the Maknae line. Taehyung and Jungkook were also reprimanded for aiding Jimin in this. in this

Tae hyung texted you the outcome, and your heart was pounding for Chimmy. Taehyung was unsure if Jimin would recover. This girl appears to have been 'it' for him. He was madly in love with the girl, and the feelings were mutual. She loved him back. Jimin is so lovable.

.....

Your flight was relaxing, but you took the chance to sleep because you hadn't gotten enough sleep the night before.

At Beijing  airport, Liu-Mei, Sana, and Dahyun greeted you with a large welcome back banner. Your eyes widen in astonishment as you watch their antics. They were waving to you like crazy fans. You even saw your Chinese fans who recognized you. Oh my goodness, your friends could be so embarrassing. You're certain it was all Liu Mei's own doing. 

Mr. Park was with you until you were safe in the company of your friends. He will lead you to your waiting vehicle.  Taehyung will have a heart attack if his soulmate is in danger. The entire crew is aware that the second oldest maknae does not want his soulmate to be put at risk.

They were extremely happy to see you. Their adoring love warms your heart. You ran to them and hugged them tightly. What was strange was that you had suddenly gained a lot more fans.

Liu Mei was screaming, "Oh bestie...I miss you so much," as she ran up to you like a mad woman on crack. Mr. Parks was quick to extend his arm to stop her from wrapping her arms around you. She appeared to be an obsessive fan of him. Liu Mei gave him an odd look. Sana and Dahyun couldn't stop giggling behind their hands at the irritated Liu Mei and an unbothered bodyguard. In any case, who is he? Keeping her from hugging her best friend. She stood up straight, hands on her hips. You just pursed your lips so tightly that you didn't burst out laughing.

"Please excuse me...Mr.!!! I'm her best friend .And who exactly are you?" She looked him over with furrowed brows. Scoffing angrily at the huge man next to you. She is perplexed by your flustered expression.

"Er...Liu mei, Sana, and Dahyun," you toothy smile, not wanting to aggravate her any further. "This is Mr. Park, Bighits bodyguard assigned to me," you smirk. As he acknowledges the greeting, the girls immediately bow politely. Mr. Park was a quiet man in general.

"Oooh! "Dahyun looked at your shocked stare with wide eyes. Your friends' eyes light up with admiration. Your soulmate's agency will keep you safe. You simply shook your head at their silliness.

.

They were taken aback when you landed in front of adoring Chinese fans who recognized you from your cosmetic commercial and the Casio advertisement. They were yelling your name, which made you feel a little uncomfortable. You not use to hordes of people publicizing about your existence. You were worried because of the admiration. Fans are well aware that you are a member of the Big Hit crew. Working alongside the legendary BTS.

Some of them were interested in taking photos and selfies with you. You simply smiled and let them go. Sana took their pictures with you. You walked excitedly to the car after introducing your bodyguard to your awestruck friends. Mr. Park extends a warm greeting and returns to the charter that will transport them back to Seoul.

You and your friends were excitedly laughing in the car as Sana drove the little vehicle out of Beijing Capital International Airport. Fortunately, you don't have much luggage with you.

Dahyun was beside herself with joy as she asked, "So, how was it in Koala-land?"

"It was fantastic! I'd never seen so many ARMY in one place before. I was terrified of the crowd. But I sat near the stage with their production crew. It was a lot of fun "You told them about your adventures. They wanted to know everything. They saw some of the fan cams that were posted by ARMY.

Liu Mei, who sat in the front seat, turned her entire body to look at you as you described your first real BTS concert in detail.

"So, how did
