A red string connects yourself and your soulmate. It has been like that for centuries documented in humankind. It only appears after both matured. So often one person doesn't see the red string even when they're older. They have to wait for the other to turn into an adult as well so both can see it at the same time.

When you turned 18, you felt so excited. It's something you read a lot about and find it cute.

But you never found that person. You imagined the string going far away maybe another country. Your soulmate could be anywhere, correct? But seeing it gave you hope thet one day you will meet him.

You're 27 now and walking back home, headphones in, after work. You're not paying attention to the string at first, too focused on replaying to some messages on your phone. But then you feel it tug rapidly and it confuses you.

You pause, looking down at your hand and furrow your brows. The string leads into an alleyway... Hesitantly, you follow it.
