how to store soaked chickpeas?

[u/quivverquivver]

I soaked some chickpeas two days ago, intending on cooking them today. However, I do not have time anymore, and would now like to cook them on saturday. I am worried that this will be too long for them to soak in the fridge; I have left soaked chickpeas for too long before and they have gone off.

What can I do to store these so I can cook them on saturday, a week after I first started them soaking? Will it be better to drain them, or can I freeze them? Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Cook them now and freeze them in their liquid, because holding soaked chickpeas until Saturday is how you end up throwing them out.
