Chapter 4:
As soon as Jimin had arrived to Jin and Namjoon’s apartment, a pale hand reached out and dragged Jimin in. About to scream, Jimin saw who it was and relaxed a bit. “Yoongi what the hell are you doing?” Jimin said catching the faint fragrance of Yoongi’s pine scent. Jimin took in a deep breath of it, still not use to his soulmates scent.
“ I wanted to talk to you privately,” Yoongi said.
“You could have asked?” Jimin questioned.
“I didn’t want Tae or Kookie to know.” Yoongi said which earned him a confused look from Jimin. “They are the ones who sent the candy cane notes to me,” Yoongi supplied.
“They are?, Why did they send those to you?” Jimin said having a faint inkling, especially with the last message they had sent.
“I don’t tend to think about their thought processes.” Yoongi said. “It would make me go crazy,”
“At least I was able to officially meet you,” Jimin said. “And smell you,”
“What about the stuff they made you say?” Yoongi said raising his eyebrows.
“That wasn’t great.” Jimin agreed. A silence filled the air to the point it was almost uncomfortable. “I’m sorry I didn’t smell you right away,” Jimin said shattering the silence.
Yoongi nodded. “Can I kiss you?” Yoongi said pulling Jimin in. Jimin swore he was in the forest with how strong the smell of pine was.
“So suddenly?” Jimin said feeling the whiplash of the conversation.
“I’ve been waiting since I first saw you,” Yoongi said eyes focused on Jimin’s lips.
“I’m still a bit sick though,” Jimin said.
“I have a strong immune system.” Yoongi grinned. “So can I?”
“Yes please then,” Jimin said delicately. He was glad that Yoongi hadn’t been put off with his weak excuse.
“So polite,” Yoongi said just as their lips met. The touch was electrifying and Jimin could taste peppermint on Yoongi’s lips.
“You’ve been eating candy canes,” Jimin commented with a light laugh.
“I’ve been addicted to them lately,” Yoongi hummed and started a trail of kisses down Jimin’s neck. The hot lips that marked Jimin’s skin contradicted the sweet words that made Jimin squirm. “I can’t believe you’re mine,” Yoongi breathed acrossed Jimin exposed collarbone and kissed his way up towards Jimin’s ear. “Everything,” Yoongi bit and gently tugged at Jimin’s earlobe, which earned a soft moan. “Is mine.”
“Yoongi,” Jimin breathed.
“Ever since I saw you I wanted to bite into you, mark you, make sure nobody would touch you.” Yoongi said his teeth grazing down Jimin’s neck. “Because you are mine,”
“I’m yours,” Jimin agreed.
“Fuck,” Yoongi said pulling Jimin in closer. “Say it again,”
“I’m yours,” Jimin said and his face heated and the smell of pine intoxicating him. It felt like everything was too much. But still right. “Only yours. I’ve been waiting for you, Yoongi,”
“I’ve been waiting for you too,” Yoongi said the kisses becoming gentle once again. “Thinking about you,. You drove my crazy Jimin. I thought you didn’t want me,” Yoongi said hovering over Jimin, in a position of power yet still looking so vulnerable.
“I want you,” Jimin said and it felt like a dam had been released from him. Frantically, Jimin peeled off his own shirt and Yoongi. “I need you. You’re mine too,”
“I’m yours?” Yoongi asked.
Looking up, Jimin only saw affection on Yoongi’s face. It made Jimin bold. He pulled Yoongi in close and roughly kissed Yoongi”s neck. Sucking, biting, and making Yoongi moan in passion. “I want everyone to know,” Jimin said knowing that the heavy kissing would leave a mark. Or a dozen.

“Why are you coming out of the bedroom,” Taehyung called before the door had been fully opened.
Yoongi and Jimin shared a knowing look before Yoongi cleared his throat. “We were talking,” Yoongi said looking down and very sad. Jimin held back a grin.
“About?” The teasing tone in Taehyung’s voice was gone and replaced with concern.
“We’re soulmates,” Yoongi said, which earned a fake surprised gasps from everyone, except Hoseok and Namjoon. The two latter looked genuinely shocked and excited.
But before the congratulations could start, Jimin said, “But we decided to not to date.” Jimin said sitting next to Jin and sighing sadly.
“What?” Jin said eyes bulging and Jimin swore that the elder’s eyes were about to pop out. “But why? You two are so cute? What did Yoongi do?”
“Why is it my fault?” Yoongi said bewildered.
“Because Jimin is an angel,” Jin said seriously. “I basically raised him and I would expect only the best from my son.”
“It’s not his fault,” Jimin said covering his mouth in what looked like remorse but Jimin was really trying to hold back a laugh. “It was the secret santa thing,” Jimin said and the room when dead silent and three pairs of eyes were glued to him.
“What do you mean?” Jungkook asked timidly.
“What secret santa thing?” Hoseok said very confused.
“Someone kept sending me these notes with candy canes,” Yoongi said. “And the person who sent them wrote some very …. Strong feelings on there.”
The three obvious culprits all shared a look.
“And it isn’t fair to the person if Yoongi just meets his soulmate, especially before christmas,” Jimin said with a downtrodden nod. “So we decided to just be friends for now” Jimin said sitting down next to Jin with a huge sigh.
“That’s normal though,” Jin said softly patting Jimin’s shoulder. “They would understand I bet they would be happy for you two,”
“That’s way too nice of you two,” Hoseok said patting Yoongi on the back. And Yoongi just nodded.
“But also very modern,” Namjoon noted, which earned a slap from Jin.
“But not romantic at all.” Jin said angrily.
“It’s for the best,” Jimin said pressing his face into Jin’s side and let out a huge sniffle.
“Is he…” Taehyung said eyes blown wide.
‘What did the notes even say?” Hoseok asked anger starting to radiate off him.
“I’ll show you,” Yoongi said pulling them out of his pocket. He handed two to Hoseok and one to Namjoon.
Namjoon read the message and flipped the paper over. “Ah,” Namjoon said pulling out his phone and dialing a number, “The part about knotting isn’t great,”
“Knotting?” Hoseok asked scandalized. “That is so dated,”
“Who are you calling?” Jungkook said realized what Namjoon was doing.
“Calling this person.” Namjoon said. “For all we know it could have been a joke.”
“Wait!” Jungkook said hand raised in panic
“Oh no,” Jin said covering his face.
Taehyung didn’t have time to say anything because of the blaring Baby It’s Cold Outside ringtone he had since November 1st.
“Taehyung? Jungkook?” Namjoon said. The puzzle already formed in his mind.
“Yeah you two, what did you do?” Jin asked
“Don’t act like you didn’t have a hand in this,” Namjoon said still looking at the guilty looking duo.
“We wanted to help Yoongi,” Jungkook began. “At first we just wanted them to meet again because Yoongi looked so sad,”
“But then,” Taehyung said. “We wanted t have some fun with it,”
“So you two sent the notes?” Hoseok said anger flaring. “To play with people’s emotions? To hurt and distance people who are supposed to be in love,”
“That wasn’t the intention,” Taehyung said trying to defend himself.
“It was for love,”
And at that Jimin lost it and burst out laughing into Jin’s side.
“Look he’s crying even more.” Hoseok said pointing at Jimin.
“I’m sorry jimin,” Jin said gently prying Jimin off. “Wait. Why are you laughing,”
“I’m sorry Jin,” Jimin said wiping away a tear.
“You aren't sad?”
“Nope,” Jimin said
“You knew?” Taehyung asked jaw dropped.
“I figured it out when I saw you two laughing at each other AND i recognized the phone number,” Yoongi explained. Yoongi moved over to sit snug with Jimin in his lap. Yoongi took in a deep breath of Jimin scent.
“Oh,”
“Yeah, Oh.” Yoongi said, “Then I told Jimin earlier and he loved the idea of pranking you guys after all the stuff you made him say.”
“What about you, Jungkook said to Hoseok.
“Yoongi texted me and told me to be outraged and extra,” Hoseok shrugged. “I had no idea about the context though.”
Jungkook turned to Jimin and Yoongi. “So you are dating, or what?” Jungkook asked feeling relieved.
“If the marks on Jimin’s chest say anything we are,’ Yoongi laughed.
“Oh my god Yoongi,” Jimin said slapping his shirt to his chest as Jin tried to pry it off to take a look.

A couple of hours later, Jimin was snuggled in close to Yoongi and they were both nursing a hot chocolate that Jin had made in apology. “Yoongi?”
“Yes Jimin?”
“What do I smell like?” Jimin asked. This was a question he had been curious for years and he prayed that it was something that Yoongi liked.
“What do I smell like first?” Yoongi asked.
“Pine.” Jimin said.
Yoongi let out a low chuckle.
“What?”
“I guess we were made for each other then,” Yoongi said.
“Tell me,” Jimin said.
“Don’t laugh,” Yoongi warned. “And don’t tell the three troublemakers for a while. They will laugh their asses off”
“Deal,” Jimin said.
“You smell like peppermint.”
