YUJIN POV

I face the window, blinking away my tears. All is silent until the crowd who were watching us goes into a frenzy, screaming about how Jeon Jungkook got a soulmate.

I compose myself and put on my poker face, hiding all the emotions behind it. Taking a deep breath, I turn around to see Jungkook staring at me with a grimace.

I can't imagine how upset he is about this.

I shake my head and stand up, pushing through the crowd and leaving the classroom without a word. My phone is buzzing with tons of notifications on Twitter and Instagram talking about me and Jungkook.

I look around and make my way up to rooftop, letting the wind blow through my hair and I shut my eyes tight. I hate soulmates, that's the issue.

I feel so guilty towards Jungkook.

Tears prick my eyes but I quickly remind myself that I'm still at school and I have to save it until I'm alone. 

"Choi Yujin?"

I whip my head towards the speaker and see a cute girl, cute like a little hamster, but undeniably pretty.

I stand up and take a step back, "Who are you?"

"I'm Park Naree, Taehyung's soulmate"

Ah. This is her.

"Oh..." I hesitate, "Hello then, did you need something?"

She shakes her head and smiles, taking my hands, and I flinch, but don't pull away.

"How are you feeling?" she gently asks.

I decide to play dumb, "About what?"

"Jungkook"

I don't talk for a minute. She seems very sweet and has those eyes that makes me want to tell her everything.

"I..." I start, "I feel bad" I take my hands away from her and look down.

She's quiet and looks at the sky.

"You know, that's what I felt about Taehyung"

She felt bad? But Taehyung is everyone's dream guy.

"Why?"

"Well... I'm a wallflower. I don't stand out. Having someone as popular as Tae... I just felt like I was bringing him down. He deserves someone better than me, I'm afraid I'll disappoint him in the future"

I nod slowly, taking it all in, "I see...."

She laughs at my deep expression, "But you and Jungkook are a whole other story, right?"

I force a small smile and look down at my hands, nodding.

I roll my eyes at the thought of him, "We hate each other. We always have"

"Maybe that can change"

"I don't think I want it to"

"Why not?"

"I don't want to get either of our hopes up" I breath out.

She nods her head thoughtfully and suddenly pulls me into a hug.

"I wouldn't worry about it for now, Yujin" she whispers.

She's significantly shorter than my tall frame but I awkwardly hug her back.
