Soulmate (Sunhak)

7

A month has passed since then and Kim Sunwoo is still waiting for any form of contact -a call or message, anything.

And for Haknyeon, he's not living his best life either. He can't even sleep a blink. It hurts knowing that he's in this kind of situation because he's not good enough for anybody, for Sunwoo especially. That's what he thought, though everybody knows that what he's feeling at that time is only the effect of being neglected by Juyeon. All sorts of thoughts keep coming inside of his already numb brain.

'What if he will leave me because of a change of heart'
'What if he's tired of waiting, leaving me for someone else'
'He deserves someone better, someone who's in his league'

He knows that Sunwoo told him not to worry as he'll wait for Haknyeon but he just can't stop overthinking things. He wakes up from his slumber and heads out to the nearest cafe for a cup of coffee. What he needs right now is just peace of mind. He sits at the far end of the cafe, taking a sip of his bitter but aromatic coffee. He looks outside the window. The weather is cloudy, dark colour paints the sky. He let out a soft sigh

'Is it going to rain soon? Even the weather understand my feeling..'

As he enjoying his time alone, a knock on his table snapped him out from his peaceful time. He looks up, kind of annoyed with the person. But his annoyed face then turns to frighten one.

' Haknyeon?' the voice is too familiar, the same voice that broke his heart 3 years ago.

' It's really you..W-what are you doing here, are you doing fine?' Haknyeon scoffs,

'Huh, are you listening to yourself right now? Yes, I'm doing fucking fine after you left me. Are you disappointed that I'm still alive? Ahh, you must be wondering why there's no news about a man jumping off a cliff because of a heartbreak right?' Haknyeon shoots him a glare, disbelief that he can ask a stupid question after all this time.

'I'm sorry Haknyeon. Let me explain, I-, I can't handle the guilt anymore. I have been looking for you for a long time now. Can we talk?'

'Are we in a talking term right now? Haknyeon gives him a sarcastic look. His eyes convey nothing but anger and disappointment. 'Be quick' He continues in a sassy manner, arms crossed. After all, he still needs the explanation that he deserves.

'I promised' He sits opposites of Haknyeon. He tries to form incoherent words, mouth-drying as he feels nervous to talk with him again. 'I'm sorry Haknyeon. What I said before were never the truth. It's all a lie that I make, as I can't choose between you and my-' he feels the lump in his throat as he tries to say the word.

'I- I can't choose between you and my soulmate' He finally said the word.

'What in the world are you saying? You said that you didn't meet your soulmates yet during that time. I thought that you're too busy to spend time with me. After all this time, you were lying to me?!' Haknyeon shouts, he can't control his anger anymore. He can't accept the fact that he's a third wheeler, a homewrecker.

'No... I'm not lying. I still didn't meet my soulmate yet when we were still dating. It's hurt to say this Haknyeon but during our 5th year anniversary, I met Hyunjae- my soulmate. He's working at the bakery, the place where I buy our anniversary's cake. I was confused, seeing him all happy when he found me. I just can't push him away. I feel guilty for both him and you'

' The time when I came back home, to see you smiling while waiting for me.=, I just can't bear the pain in your look if I told you the truth. I know it's a coward of mine to leave you alone without any explanation. It's also hard for me to leave you, please believe me. But looking back at my decision before, I didn't regret choosing him over you. You deserve to find your own happiness with your own soulmate, and Hyunjae, I can't leave him alone too. . I can feel the spark of love when I'm with him. It's the law of love in our world. Please understand.' Juyeon finally told him everything that has been kept in his heart.
