In your world, people born on the same date and time have such a feature as a soulmate connection. This is a kind of quality intended by nature that allows people connected mentally, physically and emotionally to cope with difficulties and have a particularly strong connection. Such people are close and for the most part live together all their lives. As friends, but more often as couples.
Fate has honored you with a soulmate who is different from others. You were incredibly lucky because your family moved to Daegu after you were born and you almost immediately discovered the boy next door. He was a genius.
And literally. His giftedness was manifested in his talent for music, as well as memorizing huge amounts of information, a kind of photographic memory, and counting. You felt it at the first meeting when your eyes met.
Soulmates had a direct path to discovering their true abilities. Understanding each other on a closer level as an exchange of emotional and mental states. That is, mind reading.
But there was only one condition. Touch each other's lips. Like a kiss. People explained it as something that was only passed between soul mates. After all, they communicate mentally and don’t need a mouth. Probably for you as a child this didn’t sound very convincing.
But you and Taehyung didn’t quite hit it off the first time. He knew a lot about people and society, but he himself had no desire to rush into communication. Even if you're his soulmate. It's pretty hard for someone like him.
But still, one day your parents left you both to play in the yard and you didn’t know what to do with yourself. Taehyung just sat silently and looked at the sky for the presence of any clouds, but even there weren’t any. Huh, it’s hard.
«You're staring», — his usual impassive and emotionless demeanor brought you out of your slight trance. He stared back at you, just watching and waiting for you to possibly say something. You're both 7. Usually soulmates know how to make contact, but in your case it was more difficult.
