In 2012, BTS doesn’t exist—not yet. In a world where platonic soulmates are real and large soulmate groups are brought together to become families, Big Hit Entertainment discovers something extraordinary: eight people are destined to belong together. Seven have already found one another. Jin, Namjoon, Yoongi, Hoseok, Jimin, Taehyung and sixteen-year-old Jungkook are beginning their lives together as a new idol group, unaware that their family is still incomplete. Their missing soulmate is fifteen-year-old Lexie. Having just escaped North Korea, Lexie is alone in China, desperately trying to reach safety. She knows nothing about K-pop, South Korea, Big Hit, or the seven people searching desperately for her. But the older soulmates are seeing visions of her. They know she’s out there. And they know she’s their youngest. When they finally find Lexie, they’ll have to convince a fiercely independent girl who has survived by trusting nobody that these seven strangers really are the family she was always meant to have. Because sometimes, finding your soulmate isn’t the end of the journey. It’s where the real family begins.
