  When young and innocent Tay was two years old, he found a T on his right upper arm. He ran to his mom, "Mae, Mae! There's something on my arm, it won't come off!" His Mae was preparing dinner, she did not look down away from the chopping board until she heard his footsteps drawing near. "What is it, show me?" When she looked at his arm, her eyes went wide and she suddenly gasped. She quickly washed her hands while calling out to his Por, "Por! His first letter appeared, what's the date today?!"

  Tay was confused, why were they like this? Does this thing not come off? Is it a bad thing? His Por was noting down the date, 30th January, year 1993. When he asked about this letter, his parents said it was not something bad, it was his soulmate mark starting to form. Seeing how confused he looked, they said they would teach him about it the next day.

----

  From then on, every year on the thirtieth of January, another letter would appear. When he wakes up, he adds the new letter to his notebook. By the age of ten, he had Thitipoom on his arm.

  His parents told him, this soulmate mark added one letter every birthday, it stops when the full name is there. But there were many people with the same name so it was important to note when it started as this was the birthdate of their soulmate. For those with soulmates older than them, the mark starts the year they were born and the exact date depended on the birthday of the other person.

  At the age of twenty, he nearly had what it seemed to be the full name, Thitipoom Techaapaik. He was not actively searching for his soulmate, he let fate run its course. If they met, then they could get to know each other and if they did not meet, then he could always find someone else. Nobody ever said you had to find your soulmate and grow old with them, many do not meet or they do not get along well.

  Three years later, he decided to give working in the entertainment industry a shot. He got a place as a television program host of Five Live Fresh, there he met the other five selected hosts. Of which one was surprisingly named exactly the same as the name on his arm, Thitipoom Techaapaikhun. He wanted to ask New his birthdate date but seeing as they were not that close yet, he refrained from it.

  The next year, on the same date, he woke up to no new letters and a message that they were surprising New with a cake since it was his birthday that day. Coincidence? Maybe, but Tay wants to take the chance and ask the junior.

  On New's right arm, was Tawan Vihokratana, in full at the same spot as his.

  Fast forward to now, year 2021 when he was at the age of twenty nine, going to be thirty. He and Hin had been together for nearly five years, he asked his partner whom he was lying beside, "Hin, when did your mark stop developing?"

  New continued playing his Tsum Tsum, not looking at the speaker at all. "When I was fifteen, I think?" Tay looked at the engrossed man, "Did you know it was me?" Fingers busy tapping away, "Mm... I had a feeling it was you, the birthday and age matched up, I just didn't know how you felt about this whole soulmate thing so I kept it to myself first. Actually, I searched you up once and found out you were a drum major in the same university as me."

  Tay gave up and shifted to stare at the ceiling, "But you didn't come and find me. Well, I guess if I only knew a name and not the exact birthdate, it wouldn't be nice to bother someone else."

"Who knew we were so fated? At that time, I honestly just thought if we were meant to be then we'll meet somehow. Who would have known that it would have been in Five Live Fresh."

"When do you want to let the fans know about us?"

"Well, we're not in a rush to get married so let's just string them along for a few more years."

"Hin, you're sometimes very mean, you know that?"

"They're used to it no? We disappear and appear, they enjoy it too! And don't you say anything about me being mean, I will show you what mean is later." New finally glanced at Tay before looking back at his iPad.

"You're lucky I love you..."
