Are you the one?

1.1

Like every year, the day of the reunion of the former students of Yubin's high school had arrived. The blue haired girl sighed, placing a simple shirt on the bed with a skirt. What was the point of holding a reunion every year anyway? She finished high school 5 years ago and she couldn't afford to miss one single reunion because of her best friend, Gahyeon. The pink haired girl had dragged her to every school event since they graduated and Yubin never said no, knowing that nothing bad could happen... Yoohyeon wouldn't be there.

The girl moved abroad after high school and she never came back... Yubin guessed she found her happiness there, probably her soulmate. The thing was... Yubin and Yoohyeon were dating, they were madly in love with each other, until they realized... or well, until Yoohyeon realized that there was no point in being together, since they weren't soulmates.

She always thought that reasoning for their breakup was so stupid. They were in love, they were happy but just because she wasn't her soulmate Yoohyeon decided to just stop everything. Destroy everything they had after one simple thought. What did it matter if you were soulmates or not? Yubin always kept trying, kept hoping to make the older girl realize they could work, but... Yoohyeon just didn't want to see reason.

To say that Yubin was devastated after their breakup, was an understatement. She would have preferred to be dumped because Yoohyeon wasn't in love with her anymore, but not like this. Yoohyeon loved her, but she decided that they weren't enough.

In this world people are born with their own biological clock, under their skin, on the wrist to be exact. This watch counts down until it reaches zero. At the exact moment it reaches zero, you are supposed to see your soulmate for the first time and this countdown is different for every person, except the two people that are soulmates.

The timer being something really private, can't be shown to other people. Can you imagine the chaos that would be with social media, if everyone tried to find their soulmate by writing a number on their status that changes constantly?

This whole mechanism assumes that if two soulmates will only see each other when their clock reaches zero, you will not know your soulmate until then. And this is why Yoohyeon broke up with Yubin, they already knew each other, way before their countdown reached zero.

Yubin looked at the timer on her wrist and sighed. It said that it wouldn't be long until she met her soulmate.

"Why would I believe this stupid thing anyway" she mumbled to herself, taking a bracelet and making sure that it covered her timer perfectly before making it stuck in place. The blue haired girl stopped believing in the soulmate thing ever since she and Yoohyeon broke up. In those five years she still didn't manage to get the girl out of her head and apparently she still hadn't met her soulmate. That seemed highly unbelievable to her.

She put on the clothes she had chosen for tonight and she fixed her hair, putting on just a little bit of makeup. Not that she had anyone to impress tonight anyway. She was putting on her heels when her phone buzzed one time and then two and then three... and then just enough times to make Yubin's phone fall from the bed.

"Of course, why not?!" Yubin yelled in anger when she saw her phone fall from the bed, finally able to finish putting on her heels before picking up her phone.
