Hot Headline: The famous 'soulmate' statue was reportedly stolen last night. According to a sourceㅡ

cursing to yourself in a hushed tone, you took a deep breath to calm yourself down, opting to turn off your phone rather than to continue reading the article you've stumbled upon on one of your social media applications. you leaned back against the backrest of the high chair you're seated on, eyes boring to the black television screen a few meters from you. it was supposed to be turned on earlier but then the news of the 'missing soulmate statue' kept on being brought up and talked about no matter how many times you've changed the channel so you decided to turn it off, opening your phone instead in hopes to get a rest from that repeating news but to no avail, it still popped out on your social media. what should i do now?

as you were poorly brainstorming for any idea on how to solve your current problem, your peripheral vision caught a movement on your right side. turning your head, you glanced warily at the confused male that just came out of the room.

standing awkwardly by the doorway is a six-foot tall guy, with bouncy, silky dark hair and a pale complexion, defined brows, deep eyes, tall nose bridge and a bow-shaped pinkish lipsㅡ he legit looks like a greek god. but thats not the thing to be raved aboutㅡ its the fact that this guy standing infront of you is literally the same guy who was a statue last night, the same statue all of the people were talking about that went missing. not only did you brought a stranger in your house, you also kind of, in a way, sort of - stole him from his podium. so yes, thats the reason why you dont have the guts to listen nor read any news about the missing statue.

but in your defense, you didnt stole him in a literal way.

late hour last night, after having dinner at some barbecue house, you decided to head to where this famous soulmate statue is. you heard it was famous for a certain myth that if it touches hand with his soulmate, the cemented figure would turn into a human - naturally, it became a perfect photo and video spot to pose while holding its dramatically outstretched hand so you, being the curious traveler that you are, thought it would be a waste if you wont pay this certain statue a visitㅡ see if its worth the hype and to take pictures as well, following the most common 'holding hands' pose.

but what you never expect is to be knocked down while holding his hand as the timer on your camera strapped in a tripod beats down to one - a wobbly figure slumping against you and boom, the once rock-solid, cemented figure has turned into a human being. you freaked out of course, almost kicking him in the face when you scrambled backwards in fear but the confusion in his widened eyes told you he also has no idea what on earth is happening. while subtly trembling in nervousness, realization dawns on youㅡ the myth is true. holy shit, it is true.

you both were equally afraid and confused yet no matter how much you weigh the cons more than the prosㅡ you ended up still bringing the unknown male in your house. totally unsafe but the curious spark in his eyes, gasps of amazement that left his agape mouth which he let out when the two of you walked home and passed by everything little thing he laid his eyes on were an enough giveaway that he's void of any bad motives. you didnt even remember him talking to you, all you knew was that he nodded when you asked him if he wanted to go home with you. when your duo arrived home, all your emotions weigh down on you; fear, doubts, and a strange tinge of excitement of being someone's soulmateㅡ all of it made you exhausted so you'd fallen asleep on the couch in the living room immediately after guiding him to your room to rest.
