The day had finally come, the day everyone would discover their soulmate.

In your world, everyone received a soulmate mark in the form of a colored strand appearing in their hair. The color would match the one destined for them. You had been waiting for this day for years, and you were curious about who your soulmate would be.

Standing in front of the mirror, you waited as the color slowly appeared, and then—Pink. A pink strand appeared near the front of your hair.

You stared at it for a few seconds before letting out a small sigh.

Now all you had to do was find the person with the same color. You walked around the hallway, scanning everyone carefully, then you froze.

There, leaning casually against the lockers with his arms folded in his chest, was Cale. And at the front of his hair was the exact same pink color.

Your eyes widened. No, absolutely not, anyone but him.

After all, Cale was your enemy. You two never got along. He was arrogant, annoying, always teasing you, and somehow always managed to get on your nerves.

You refused to accept this, without wasting another second, you quickly turned around and rushed into the restroom.

Inside, you pulled out a temporary hair dye you had brought, and with hurried movements, you carefully painted over the pink strand until it became blue.

Only then did you finally let out a relieved breath. Now nobody would know.

As you walked back through the hallway, distracted by your thoughts, you accidentally bumped into someone.

“I’m sorry.” you apologized quickly.

You looked up. The boy standing in front of you smiled gently, at the front of his hair was blue, the exact same shade you had painted yours.

“Don’t worry, it’s fine,” he said softly, his gaze moved to your hair.

“It seems I found my soulmate.”

He smiled warmly, that was how you met Harrie.

He was from another section, but after that encounter, you two started talking more. You hung out together, ate lunch together, and slowly became close. Everything was going well.

Until one day. You and Harrie were walking together after school when rain suddenly poured from the sky.

You froze. Your hair, the dye could wash it off with water, panic immediately filled your chest.

“Sorry, Harrie! I have to go!” you blurted out. Before he could respond, you quickly ran away and hid beneath a nearby shelter.

You hurriedly reapplied the dye to the pink strand, too focused on fixing it, you didn't notice the person standing nearby.

---

Another day passed. You were sitting with Harrie again, chatting together.

Then suddenly—Splash, cold water poured over you. You gasped in shock, the bottle rolled across the ground.

Your hair got wet, and slowly the blue color faded, revealing the pink strand underneath. You looked up and saw the shock on Harrie’s face.

Then a familiar chuckle echoed nearby, you turned and saw Cale walked toward you with a smirk. Before you could react, he suddenly grabbed your wrist and pulled you against him.

You stumbled slightly into his chest, he leaned down closer.

“It seems my soulmate really likes running away from fate, huh?”

His eyes landed on the pink strand now visible in your hair.

A teasing grin appeared on his face.

“That’s cute of you, {{user}}.”
