MATCHED (gxgxb)

Chapter twoo here we go

I really didn't know what to think of it. It had to be a joke, right? Never ever in my whole life anyone had even mentioned that I could possibly have two soulmates. This just wasn't right.

I quickly opened the browser and searched for "two soulmates" and other similar stuff, but the only results that came up were some rumors and speculations. Mostly about twins having the same soulmate, but even that wasn't confirmed. And I didn't have a twin, only a little sister. And that wouldn't even make sense. Maybe my soulmates were twins, I thought. That might explain it a little.

I went back on the online portal to check out their profiles. I didn't see a name on eighter of them. That was quite weird. Almost everyone wrote down their name. But I still clicked on the first one for more information. It was two years old and there was nothing written on it. Literally nothing. No name, no picture, no nothing! Very discouraged and frustrated I went to the next profile. And again. Nothing. Not the smallest piece of information that could have given me a hint that there actually was a real person behind this.

All the hope and excitement that I had build up for this moment just came crushing down on me at once. This person that I had hoped to meet for so long didn't want me to know them. They probably didn't even want to know me. Or, the worst possible outcome, it was all a joke because who even has two soulmates?

I knew I needed to calm down and just get my mind of it for a second, so I did what I always do when I want to ignore something. I read.

Since I just recently finished the fantasy roman that I had bought and I wasn't in the mood to reread something, I opened Wattpad and searched for a good 30-chapter-story which I could obsess over for the next few hours. Now the difficult part. Actually finding a good one. Romance was out of the window already anyway. If I would have started with that, the only thing that would have happened was me crying. Well easier said then done. Finding a story without romance, especially on Wattpad, is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

After about fifteen minutes I finally found a story which didn't seem to be romance based and had 28 chapters.

During the whole day my family and friends came to check up on me, but I just wasn't ready to talk about it. I knew I was worrying them. They knew that something was seriously wrong since I was always looking forward to this day, and then I locked myself in my room for the whole day.

The first time I came out of my room was for dinner. It was pretty silent. Even Alice, my talkative sister, wasn't really talking. Just a shushed "Can I have the water, please?" and similar phrases were exchanged from time to time. I sensed that they wanted to ask me what was going on, but they were polite enough not to pressure me into talking. I'm really glad they didn't. I didn't even open the presents I got this evening. I still wasn't sure what to do next with my life.

And so I did nothing. I just lived my life on for the next few days and pretended the whole soulmate thing didn't happen. Whenever someone started to ask about it, I just said there wasn't a result and moved on with the conversation. When I was alone, I mostly focused on reading and listening to K-pop. Especially one group had drawn my attention. They were called RainbowZ and I have been listening to them for over a year because they always got my mood up. And I seriously needed that now. There was one member, a girl called Yellow on stage, who always seemed to be able to make my day better. Her cute voice and humor always brightened up my day when I needed it the most. And that was my way of recovering. Kind of.

And after about a week I thought I was over it enough, that I finally pushed myself to open my birthday presents. I've got some interesting things, like a griffin plushy for example, which was absolutely fucking adorable, but the most outstanding one for me was the three tickets to South Korea together with three tickets to a concert of RainbowZ. The concert was at the beginning of our summer holidays and the tickets were for me, my best friend Noah and my mother, who was coming as well, since neither me nor Noah were eighteen yet.

This was the best birthday present ever. I was nearly as much into K-pop as I was into reading, and that means a lot to me. It almost made me forget that the whole soulmate thing was still going on.

The following month of school was absolutely annoying but the thought of going to this concert kept me going even when I just wanted to give up and hide in my room.

And then the day of our departure arrived. The day where I could finally see South Korea for the first time in my life.

Yey.
