Like Lightning part 3

Pairing: Jimin x Reader

Warnings: attempted kidnapping, swearing, mentions of a knife, cigarettes

Genre: idol!au, witches/wizards!au, royalty!au, (slightly one sided?soulmate!au…that’s all I can say without spoiling later chapters) Fluff, Angst, future smut.

Summary: Jimin has waited quite a lifetime to find his soulmate. He didn’t expect to find her at one of her concerts, and certainly didn’t expect her to be such a big Jungkook fan.

(Again: Thank you @heyitsayjayy for being such an amazing beta reader and friend 😭❤️ also another big thank you to @heyitsayjayy and @kingsuckjin for helping me brainstorm ideas for this)

Jin who was in front carefully took the knife from your hand.  You stood still on the spot, shocked and confused.  Jin’s gaze drifted down to your bare legs, your “nightgown” wasn’t quite fit for company and it was definitely noticeable.

Without waiting to be invited in, Jimin burst through the door.

“Are they still here? Did they hurt you?” he was whipping his head back and forth searching around the room. 

“Jimin! Don’t go barging in like that when there could be some kind of danger.  You know to let me go first” Jungkook scolded and rushed in after Jimin, standing in front of him protectively. 

“Wha-what are you doing?” you stuttered out in shock “Why are you?” you shake your head wondering if you were seeing things.  And now wondering if this really was just a weird nightmare. 

The rest of the members followed in after, all of them spreading out and searching around your small house, opening doors and looking behind your shower curtain. 

“I-I think they left.  They like...evaporated? Turned into smoke?” You shivered at the thought. 

Jin walked up to you and nodded understandingly.  

“And are you alright? Did they do anything to you?” He seemed genuinely concerned. 

“No,” You shake your head “I-I felt like I couldn’t move or speak for a moment but thats gone away.” you answered. “But how are you here? Why are you h-” 

“Sounds like a binding spell.” Jin put a hand to his chin in thought and started muttering things under his breath ignoring your questions. 

Jimin now ran over to you and looked you up and down. 

“Yeah you don’t look hurt.” He muttered. “Y/n, I’m so sorry.  I had no idea they knew of you already.” He shook his head “This is all my fault” he looked down to the floor his shoulders slouched and he seemed completely distraught. 

“It's not your fault.”  Taehyung was now by Jimin's side throwing an arm over his shoulders to sooth him. 

Jimin brushed him off and stepped towards you even closer. 

“You didn’t answer any of my texts…” In a cute and charming voice he tried to whisper so only you could hear. 

You felt your heart skip a beat and your mouth now hung agape.  It really was him? 

Before you could say anything another voice spoke out.  One that you’d been hearing on repeat in your mind for the last week. 

“All the rooms are clear.  I think they really did leave.” Jungkook informed the group as he stepped out from your bedroom.  He also tossed you a pair of sweatpants.  You felt your cheeks grow hot at the idea of Jungkook rummaging through your things. The idea of *him* in your bedroom felt embarrassing and thrilling all at the same time.  You felt yourself gulp as your eyes nervously fell on him.  You internally groaned realizing he must’ve seen the giant poster of himself hanging on your wall. 

You gave him a tiny awkward wave that had him rolling his eyes and turning to address Hoseok, talking about something you couldn't hear. 

You sighed.  It hurt, but you understood, you wouldn’t want to talk to you either after what you’d done. 

You awkwardly stepped into your grey sweatpants, pulling them up over your waist.

“Y/n?” A voice purred from behind you.  “You really are alright?” 

You turned to see Yoongi standing shyly with wide eyes.  

“Y-yeah I’m fine, like I said” you assured him, not sure why any of them were so concerned, and definitely not sure why any of them were here. 

“Can someone please explain to me what just happened?” You tried to meet eyes around the room and were only met with a soft gaze from Jimin, the rest looked to each other as if they weren’t sure if they should say. 

“I can explain sweetheart,” Jimin spoke smoothly with a pet name that made your breathing stop.  Park Jimin, of BTS, calling you sweetheart.  Some girls would die for that honor. 

“Jimin.” Namjoon spoke firmly yet calmly. “We haven’t discussed yet how to tell her.” 

“Why do you always want to discuss things first” Jimin whined, his lower lip stuck out in a pout, “I don’t want to hide anything from her.  She should know everything!” 

Jimin reached for your hand and you recoiled away instantly- feeling slightly uneasy about the whole situation. 

Jimin pouted again and looked disappointed that you pulled away from him.  Putting the hand that had reached out for you in the pocket of his hoodie.

Jin stepped forward and gave you a small smile.  

“Well let's start with what you want to know.  We’ll tell you if it's something we feel comfortable sharing.” He spoke at you, “Is that alright Jimin?” he turned to the younger man for permission, which you found slightly strange.  

Jimin shrugged and gave a little nod. 

“So what do you want to know y/n?” Namjoon asked. 

Hoseok and Jungkook had made themselves comfortable on your couch, still talking over whatever it was that Jungkook had brought up to him. 

You once again were hit with the feeling of Jungkook is on MY couch, and tiny butterflies fluttered in your stomach.

“Who were those people?” you started with, looking to Jin for an answer now. 

“Bad people.” Jin answered quickly “Witches.” he added

Jimin gave Jin an approving nod, pleased that Jin let you know the truth. 

“Witches? Like pointy hat and broomstick witches?” You laughed nervously, not believing the words you’d just heard. 

Jin chuckled shaking his head. 

“No.  But, witches with spells, and strength and power.  Similar to mine.” He took a deep breath in, “And it seems similar to yours as well.” 

Similar...to...yours?

You felt the room start to spin and you were becoming lightheaded. 

“Damnit, see we shouldn’t have thrown it at her yet!” Namjoon complained. 

“Shes gonna faint!” Jimin cried out, “Get her to the couch!” 

You felt your body grow limp as you fell to the side.  Warm arms surrounded you and caught you before you hit the ground, right before your vision went black.

--------------

When you woke up the same warm arms were surrounding you.  Your head was pressed into the chest of someone who smelled like cherries and the sweetest flowering perfume, just how you’d always thought he’d smell.  

“J-Jungkook?” you muttered groggily and your lips pulled up into a small smile. 

You felt the chest that your head was practically melted onto rise and fall with a big sigh. 

You tilted your head up to see Jimin’s soft eyes looking down at you. 

“Oh!” you exclaimed in surprise and pulled away from him, sitting up and burying your hands in your face with your elbows on your knees. “S-sorry” you muttered out through your palms. 

“Not a problem.” Jimin shrugged and put a hand on your shoulder, “I’m just glad you’re alright” 

You pulled your hands from your face and leaned back into the couch.  Yoongi was on the other side of you and the rest of the men were standing around with their eyes locked on you.  You felt shy and embarrassed to have them looking you over so intensely. 

“I think you fainted because the shock of your situation hit you.  It’s normal.  You were just almost kidnapped” Jin informed you as if he was diagnosing your situation. 

You nodded understandingly. 

“So,” you inhaled deeply before continuing “You said something about witches...about me being…” you didn’t quite know if you’d made that part up and you now felt awkward saying it outloud. 

“I did.” Jin confirmed, “How much do you remember about what you did to get them to leave you alone?” 

You thought back to that moment, thinking of how to describe it. 

“It was like...electricity? I felt the energy build up in my body, and then I felt it leave my body all at once...Then it seemed to hurt the person grabbing me and they dropped me and left me alone.” you recounted the memory. 

Jin nodded as he listened to you, his eyes widening. 

“What's that mean Jin?” Jimin squeaked out. “Could she really be?” 

Jin nodded again this time a firm one along with a “Yes.  She most definitely is.  Yoongi saw it himself.” 

Your head snapped over to the man next to you who sheepishly tried to avoid your eye contact. 

“How did Yoongi see it?” you questioned. 

Jimin almost started to answer, but Jin cut him off much to his irritation. 

“Jimin, If it’s alright with you, I think that’s for Yoongi to decide if he wants to say.” 

Jimin sighed and crossed his arms over his chest. “Fine.  But, quit saying I never listen to you guys” 

You turned to Yoongi to see if he was going to explain but he shook his head and turned away from you shyly. 

“It's fine Yoongi, you don’t have to say.  We already had her faint once it’s probably for the best.” Jin added in. 

You wanted to beg someone to let you know what that could possibly mean.  But, you figured it was better to not cause a scene.  Most of them probably still had you pegged as a crazy sasaeng.  Yet, they were all still here…

“Why are you here?” Was what you settled on, straight to the point. “Why is BTS in my home.  What does it concern you that something might happen to me?” 

Jin started to open his mouth to answer but you continued on, probably talking too much, but you were overwhelmed with all of the thoughts in your mind. 

“I’m thinking maybe it has something to do with the witch thing? You said you were one too? Can you like sense when someone else is? Is that why they were here? But they wanted to kill me for it right? Do you want to kill me?” You blurted out all in one breath. 

“Holy shit slow down.” Namjoon chuckled pulling a cigarette pack from his pocket and packing it against his palm.  “Can I smoke in here?” he added in even though the end of the pale white cigarette was already in his mouth and about to be lit. 

“Sorry, I-I yes sure.”  You had never let people smoke in your home but Kim Namjoon was asking, how could you tell him no to anything.  If only A could see this. 

“Wait! But, shouldn’t you n-not?  I mean you’re an idol!” You stammered out. 

Namjoon winked your way and lit the tip of his cigarette, inhaling and letting large breath of grey smoke spill from his lips and rise to the ceiling.  “Well, you’re not telling anyone are you sweetheart?” 

You heard a small grunt from next to you.  Jimin was sending a glare Namjoon’s way. 

“Watch it.” He hissed out.   

Namjoon seemed to instantly fall into submission to Jimins words, his gaze fixed down to the floor and he continued to smoke in silence, not meeting your gaze. 

“So, to get to a few of your questions.” Jin changed the subject back on topic. “Firstly, no.  We don’t want to kill you, we would never hurt you or do anything to upset you.” 

You couldn’t help but flick a quick glance over to Jungkook who was leaned against your wall avoiding your eyes. 

“-Anymore,” Jin added “Jungkook didn’t realize” He looked over to the maknae who nodded and let out an annoyed sigh. 

Jimin put a hand on your shoulder to reassure you but you flinched away from his touch once again.  His disappointment was impossible to ignore, with the loud huff he let out.  

“Sorry.  I just…” You didn’t quite know what to say.  You knew BTS but you didn’t know them personally.  This all seemed so surreal and strange. 

“It's fine” Jimin whispered, giving you a small thin smile.  You could tell it hurt his feelings, but you were so confused as to why. 

“Anyways.” Jin was trying his best to stay on topic, “No. I cannot sense other witches.  We found you through the number that you had left for umm...yeah.  So no.” He cleared his throat, “We have a certain responsibility to take care of you and look after you that has nothing to do with you being a witch.  That was something none of us really expected.” 

Jin looked over to Jimin who seemed to be growing nervous.  “You said you wanted the truth out there. Did you want to tell her?” 

Jimin started to run his fingers through his hair quickly.  “I-I think.  Maybe.” He shook his head “no. Dammit.” he took a deep breath and retreated back into the couch in defeat. 

“Someone please start talking straight.  I have half a mind to just call the cops on all of you right now for being here in my home without being invited in!” You snapped using a tone you felt was way too harsh.  Yet, you were getting frustrated with all of the secrets and confusion. 

“Oh, so its fine when you invade someone else's private space.  But us being here in yours is off limits?” Jungkook spoke up angrily. 

“It was a dare!” You shouted out. 

Every one of the members raised their eyebrows.  Jimin and Namjoon seemed to be amused at this. 

“A dare?” Jimin questioned, his eyes crinkled and he cocked his head to the side in confusion. 

“My friend bet me over a months rent to leave my number for Jungkook.  It was a stupid idea, and I didn’t want to,” you looked over to Jungkook to try and make him see your honest expression “I regret it.  It was wrong and I know it. I really needed the money though…”  you trailed off.

 “No one is going to hold it against you babe.  Don’t worry,” Jimin smiled a big toothy grin your way. He seemed pleased to hear that you weren’t just a crazy stalker obsessed with the idea that Jungkook would fall in love with you.  He leaned back into the couch again, this time more relaxed, a small strand of his sandy brown bangs fell into his face and he brushed it out of the way in a smooth motion. “Thank you for explaining” 

“Speak for yourself.  The only reason I’m here is for you Jimin.” Jungkook scoffed. 

You looked down to your lap where you played with your fingers nervously.  

“Maybe you guys need to leave.  I’m sorry I’ve upset you.  There's no need to look out for me.  You don’t know me and I don’t know you.  I appreciate your concern, but it seems that-”

“I’m never leaving you!” Jimin yelled out loudly causing you to jump. 

“Jimin.” Jin warned in a quiet but firm tone.

“He’s right though.  She can’t be left alone.  They’ll only be back for her now that they know how important she is to us.” Taehyung who had been mostly silent now spoke up. 

Jimin sent him a thankful glance. 

Important to them? 

“True.  Y/n, I think you need to come stay with us.  The risk is too much for you to stay here alone.  Plus I think you could do with some lessons on how to control your power now that it's been unlocked,”  Jin spoke.

Jimin started to nod quickly in agreement.  “Come live with us!” he spoke excitedly. “It’d just be better that way” 

Live with them...Live with...BTS.  You felt your mind growing cloudy again. 

“Is she gonna faint again?” Hoseok spoke softly. 

You looked around at each one of them.  In your living room.  Jimin and Yoongi on either side of you.  Jungkook leaned against the wall avoiding you.  Namjoon leaned against another wall now putting out his cigarette into an empty orange soda can that he’d found.  Hoseok, Jin and Taehyung all sat crosslegged on the floor in front of your couch across the coffee table from you.  

You squeezed your eyes tightly shut, for a moment feeling like when you’d open them they’d all be gone, it’d all disappear and you’d wake up in bed; Jellybean by your feet and the light of morning spilling in through your blinds. 

But no, when you opened your eyes they were all still there.  All looking at you waiting for your answer. 

“How could I?” You stuttered out your lips trembling as you spoke, “A girl living with BTS...surely that's not allowed.  Wouldn’t you get in trouble for that?” 

Jimin chuckled next to you.  “Don’t think that anyone tells US what to do.  As long as we keep you away from cameras we should be fine. We wouldn’t want that anyways for your safety.  We have our ways.” 

You felt your throat start to dry out and your hands start to sweat, you stood quickly and walked over to your fridge grabbing a bottle of water and chugging it furiously. 

“So you’ve done this before?” You asked when you returned to the group, standing behind your couch with your hands gripping the back tightly out of nervousness. 

“No!” Jimin answered quickly.  “I just mean, we have our ways of keeping secrets from our fans.” He explained. 

You took a broken breath in.  It just didn’t seem real, right, or possible for this all to be happening to you. You put a hand to your head to check for a fever.  Then returned to plop down on the couch where you’d been sitting.

“She's having a hard time processing this all hyung,” Taehyung spoke towards Jin, who nodded in agreement. 

“I wish there was a better way.  We wanted to ease you into this, but with what happened tonight with the witches from the Royal Coven, I don’t think we have a choice.  Either she comes and lives with us, or at least two of us are going to have to be here with her at all times.  And us coming and going from her house will certainly be harder to keep a secret from the media than just her staying in our dorms.”  Jin put his hands to his face and groaned. 

“You’re more than welcome at our home princess,” Jimin spoke softly, and though he had been rejected twice, tried once again to reach out to you.  This time you let his hand fall on your shoulder, maybe it was because you didn’t want to see him sad again, but this time you allowed it to set there.  

“Already calling her princess huh?” Jungkook rolled his eyes, “Little early for that no?” 

You cocked your head to the side confused, and Jimin's hand was the one to flinch away from you this time. 

“Sorry.  I’m ahead of myself again huh?” He muttered to himself. 

The room fell quiet and you felt like a feather dropping would’ve sounded out like a cannonball in this room. 

“I’ll do it.” you finally spoke up, breaking the silence. 

You heard a tiny gasp from your side.  Jimin turned to face you completely. 

“You’ll live with us? You’re sure?” his features were soft and bright. 

You nodded slowly.  “Yeah...lets just see how it goes right?” you turned to Jin “If I do this you’ll tell me more about whatever the fuck this is thats going on with me?” 

Jin laughed and seemed pleased with your response.  

“Of course.  We’ll have lessons on how to control your powers.  I had a mentor do the same for me, I’d be happy to.” he assured you. 

You took another deep breath in and out.  

“We have to find Jellybean first though.” You suddenly remembered, “I don’t want to leave without my cat!” 

The whole room seemed to tense up at once and all eyes did a quick glance to Yoongi. 

“I’ll find Jellybean for you y/n.  Don’t worry.  It’ll be my priority” Jimin spoke up quickly.  “Let’s just get you back to our place safe.” 

You sighed and looked around the room once more to see if Jellybean would miraculously appear.  But your companion was nowhere in sight. 

“You promise?” You spoke to Jimin, who nodded and crossed his heart with his finger.
