The dance hall was quite, except the sounds of ragged breath and shuffle of the feet.
Jaemin slumped on the floor feeling tired. It’s not the physical exhaustion of dancing so much, instead he was mentally disturbed, guilty that he made the same mistakes again and again.
He is not a bad dancer, he is one of the best dancer in his dance academy, even in the kingdom there wasn’t much dancers who could compare him with. That’s also the reason he got hired as a royal dancer.
But now, he wasn’t able to dance which he had been practicing for the past six weeks. In two days it’s his first dance in front of the king. So he wanted to perfect it. But the more he practiced more he made mistakes. It’s all because of his nervousness, to dance in front of the king and royal court is not a simple thing. You can even get punishment for a simple misstep.
“Jaeminie, you are doing great. Just breath.” Seokjin said from across the hall.
Jaemin nodded his head and took a deep breath.
“I made more mistakes than yours in my first time here. You are doing better than me.” Jungkook reassured.
“Exactly. You were so good from the start. You are just nervous.” Yoongi added.
“Let’s take some rest, by then you will be able yo do it perfectly.” Hoseok wiped his sweat with a towel and sat on the wooden floor.
Taehyung and Namjoon sat both side of Jaemin, assuring him with smiles and soft touches.
After five minutes of rest Jaemin stood up. “I will try it first alone. By then you guys rest.”
Taehyung opened his mouth to protest, but nodded seeing his pleading eyes.
Then he revised the steps he had been learn past few weeks. After the reassurance from his lovers, Jaemin felt good. And he did the step correctly.
“You did good. It was perfect.” Namjoon stood up quickly and hugged him tightly.
“Let’s try it together.” Taehyung also stood up following by others.
They practiced few more times, and this time Jaemin didn’t make any mistakes.
“You are ready to perform in the court.” Taehyung said. “Even if you make any mistakes, we will be by your side.”
“Thank you.” Jaemin whispered feeling giddy by the affection of his lovers.
“I can ask the same.” Jimin said, crossing arms on his chest, glaring at Wonhee.
“But I asked first.” Wonhee raised his eyebrow. One corner of his lips slightly pulled up which wasn’t much noticeable.
“I am sorry. I think I should go.” Jimin started walk past the man.
Not only he can’t tell him why he was there where no one is allowed, but also he can’t tell him about the secret of dance room. It’s hard to say how people will take it. Jimin doesn’t trust him after all.
“You are hiding something.” The smirk on Wonhee’s face widen, and his eyes shone with playfulness. “Aren’t you afraid, I will complain against you for sneaking in to forbidden area?”
“You won’t. Cause, you are also doing the same.” Jimin smirked, his confident gaze piercing Wonhee.
“Smart.” Wonhee click his tongue. “Then we should be going before someone see us here.”
“That would be better.” With that Jimin climbed down the stairs, the sound of Wonhee’s footsteps following behind.
“Why are you so cold towards me?” Wonhee asked as they walked towards their rooms.
“I am not. I am just tired.” Jimin replied.
Jimin didn’t want to be cold towards the man, but the way his hazel eyes staring in to him made him uncomfortable. So he just want to keep distance from Wonhee.
“Oh.” Wonhee nodded his head. “But remember, if you need me for anything just call me. Okay?” He gestured with his hand of calling.
“Hmm.” Not wanting to continue the conversation Jimin hummed.
With a wink and playful smile Wonhee made his way to his room and Jimin went towards his own room.
What is that supposed to be mean? Why would he will need any help from Wonhee?
Shutting down his thoughts, Jimin sinked in to the bed. He want to sleep, he was too tired after the shooting and the dance he did with the six of them in the dance room. And the conversation with Wonhee also tired him out.
So as soon as he hit bed, he fell in to dreamland.
“What do you think about Wonhee?” Was the first thing Bora asked when she met Jimin in the morning.
“What should I think about him?” Jimin sassed.
“Do you think he is a good match for me?” Jimin chocked on the air at the question. “Are you okay?” She asked patting his back.
“ARE YOU OKAY?” Jimin shouted. “I M NOT. What’s wrong with you? He is not a good man. There are a lot of men in the world. Why do you think he is good for you?”
Bora is well reserved, confident woman. She don’t usually talk much, if it’s not for necessity. She don’t even smile at strangers. She don’t even blush if you flirt with her. Even the Jimin effect won’t work on her. She is quite grumpy if you ask someone from the company, except Jimin. To Jimin she is gentle, like an older sister for him.
But the Bora now standing in front of him had a red cheeks and a nervous smile on her face.
Jimin can’t believe Bora likes a man she barely knew in real life. On top of that he is someone Jimin don’t like.
“I had a crush on him for a long time. Now that he is in front of me I think I should make a move on him. Even if he rejects I can assure I tried.” Bora said matter of factly.
Jimin sighed. “I don’t know. But I don’t like him.” He announced.
“Why?” Bora looked at him confused.
“Nothing. I think you should wait for sometime. You can make a move on him by the end of the shooting.” He suggested. “That way you will be able to be familiar with him.”
And that way Jimin can keep an eye on him. Even though Jimin had decided he will stay away from Wonhee, he can’t sacrifice Bora for that. He have to find all about this man.
Jimin tiptoed up through the stairs. There wasn’t no one around, but he still have to be careful.
Passing the familiar dance room door, he walked towards the end of the hallway, where stood a big carved door with library written in front of it.
He was about to open the door, but it was locked with a big metal lock. Jimin sighed.
How will he unlock it? Should he search for the key? Should he break it?
Jimin felt like, he is in a survival show. If it’s not for his dreams about this place and those six, Jimin would have think, it’s a hidden camera prank.
Maybe the people in mirror might know where the key is.
With that in his thought, Jimin walked back towards the familiar carved door. Taking a deep breath Jimin opened the room and walked in, closing the door behind locking it, incase someone appeared on the second floor just like Wonhee.
“You said you would go directly to the library.” Jungkook’s voice was heard as the six of them appeared behind the mirror.
“I did go there, but the library is locked. Do you know where the keys might be?” Jimin asked.
“We know nothing about it. It has been many centuries since we have been trapped here.” Namjoon answered.
“Yeah, they likely have changed the lock more than once since that time.” Yoongi added.
“Oh.” Jimin nodded his head, lost in thoughts.
Now, how will he find the keys? How will he open the lock? How will he search the library? And mainly, how will he save them?
“However,” Jimin snapped his head up, hearing Seokjin’s voice.
“Are there any way I can find the keys?” He asked hurriedly.
“Yes, you could search in the shelf beside the library. That was were they used to keep the keys in our times.” Seokjin answered.
“But we are not sure, it will be there.” Hoseok added.
“Then I will look there.” Jimin said turning away.
“Be careful.” Jungkook said behind him, to Jimin send an assuring smile.
But, before he could walk away, something caught his attention.
It was on Taehyung’s neck, a familiar tattoo peeked out of his robe. Jimin stopped in his track, staring at the man’s neck with wide eyes.
The concerned look in Taehyung’s eyes turned in to confusion as he watched Jimin stepping closer to the mirror.
“T- that.” Jimin pointed towards his neck, it was the same mark he have on his lower back in grey color.
The confusion on Taehyung’s face switched to realization as he saw where Jimin is pointing. “It was our matching tattoo.” Taehyung clarified.
“We all had the same.” Jungkook added. “You had one on your lower back.”
“I- I still do.” Jimin stuttered. The mark on his lower back wasn’t as black as Taehyung’s neck, but it was the same mark in lighter shade. “But it’s grey.”
Jimin turned his back towards them and raised his pajama top for them to see the mark on his back.
“It’s black now.” Namjoon smiled at him. “It may have turned in to original shade, because you are reunited with us.” He informed.
Jimin nodded his head and pulled down the shirt while turning to face them again.
He felt overwhelmed by the information. It’s like the wattpad story he read sometimes ago, when the soulmates meets, their mark will appear or glow. There are a lot of versions of this story available in that site. This mark is exactly same. Just by meeting them, his mark became visible.
Jimin stood there taking in the information. What else is there, that could shock him? Is there more in his life that he don’t know about himself?
“Let’s have a tattoo. ” Jaemin said, making his six lovers look up at him. Taehyung and Jungkook had bright smile on their face and they nodded their head, while the other four looked confused.
“Why suddenly?” Yoongi asked.
“I want matching tattoo with all of you.” Jaemin said matter of factly.
“That’s a good idea.” Jungkook chimed in with his bunny smile.
“Agree.” Taehyung also showed of his boxy smile.
“If you all want, I am okay with it.” Hoseok agreed, even though he seemed really scared.
“Me too.” Namjoon nodded his head then turned to older two and asked. “What about you, hyungs?”
Yoongi nodded his head.
“If you want…” Seokjin whispered with a pout. “But, will it hurt?”
“Of course, hyung. It will definitely hurt a little. But you can endure it for us, right?” Jungkook teased.
“A little can be endured.” Seokjin said at last.
Jaemin giggled at the older’s cuteness and wrapped his arms around Seokjin’s neck. “If any of you don’t want to, we don’t have to. It was just a suggestion.” He assured.
“But we want to.” Others in the room said together, making the younger giggle out.
“Then, let’s do it.” Jaemin cheered.
“Do you have any design you want for tattoo?” Taehyung asked softly, his long slender finger weaving through Jaemin’s long black hair.
“Yes.” Picking up a brush and paper, Jaemin drew a simple design. A seven vertex star with a tiny heptagon between them. It was simple, yet adorable. “How is it?”
Taehyung scanned it with small smile on his face, as the other five moved closer to bed for better view.
“It’s beautiful.” Namjoon commented.
“I like it.” Jungkook cheered.
“The seven vertexes are us.” Jaemin explained with a shy smile.
“Smart.” Yoongi joined in praising.
“Let’s have a tattoo.” Seokjin shouted loudly making them all laugh out loud, Hoseok and Taehyung nodded their head with wide smile on their face.
The tattoo will be symbol of their love.
