You were just a normal, ordinary person. However, you were known to be kind, dependable, and lovable. You slept, relaxed, and then worked. That was your day. You were on the couch watching television as an important message turned the channel to the news, striking your curiosity and confusion. 

“Good evening. I’m Lee Youjin, and this is Media Mogul. Something very important has come to our attention, which explains the sudden program change. A strange occurrence that has only happened once in all of humanity. Scientists have discovered that everyone on Earth has a soulmate, and starting tomorrow, November 17th, 2024, there will be a Love String event. A Love String event will help you find your soulmate. The love string itself will, once you make eye contact with your soulmate, a string will bind you both together until this strange incident is over. Experts are working to find out when it will be done. Thank you. This was the media mogul, Lee Youjin. Good luck.” And with that, the program switched.

You were shocked and confused. Soulmate..? That word was almost unfamiliar. It left a funny feeling in your stomach. A walk. A breather was needed. 

You left your apartment and put on your headphones, trying to relax. You weren’t paying attention; you were completely overtaken by thought. Suddenly, you knock right into a hard chest. You look up to find Seo-Yeok looking down at you. You muttered apologies, and before he could say anything, you rushed away, heading right back to your apartment.

Little did you know... You'll see him again tomorrow.
