Annyeong, Soojin! [Ateez Fanfiction] ✓

The Wise Monkey's POV:

Weeks have passed as I wait. I wait and I still wait. And I wandered and I wander: to watch the volcanic mountains, to the middle of the sea where whales swim out and back into the waters, to the peak of the mountains or into the thick remote forests inaccessible to humans, to watch the aurora borealis, to watch the snow-capped mountain peaks from where beautiful clouds can be seen. All these and more I can watch together within minutes of an hour of just one day; they are all marvellous. Ha! Sucks to be you, humans!

It happens each time I'm on a mission. This work takes time, and I'm impatient. I get very bored following around the clients all day for however long it takes(sometimes even years). I mean I always get bored, I've told you that countless times before. But you know, somewhere along the time when I'm on missions, I take a break(whatever going around different beautiful parts of the earth can be called, it'd only be an actual 'break' for me if I can go to /sɛrkʌ/. Unfortunately, I can't ever return until the work is done). When it comes to the stage where there is nothing I need to do and let the time(or Fate's written will) prevail, that is when I take these 'breaks' sometimes. And it's not like I am gone for many days. I disappear for some minutes to hours, and it's not like I can't collect the happenings in my absence in case something important happened to the client or others concerned.

Soojin's doing well at the present. I don't think I need to use my magic to help her further. She's figuring out her emotions and feelings, and I think I should give her time. She should figure out what's best for her. In the end, my job still isn't checking all the taskbar of materialistic or spiritual gifts I or Fate deem apt for a better life for her, it's her soul's satisfaction with the lifetime that counts. We still think that a romantic life and a partner is what she also needs for that, but if she proves otherwise, we'll see that fit. Jongho or Seonghwa, or someone else, or someone else new in the future when she'd be ready, or no one ever at all.

The achievements I've made so far is guiding her to feel more confident in herself, she isn't as conscious of herself as before, she'd learn to accept new people and learned that it is okay to depend on others when needed, she learned to be a bit more daring, learned to not worry too much for her future and more. And then there's the major thing I assumed I'm here for, to build a healthy, happy relationship with the people she couldn't in her previous life. I think that's established. And if she chose someone to permanently rely on and care for, the list will be checked out. Only one decision of her remains; and then I'll be free of this duty, free to head home. I believe that day is not so far. It has been almost six months with her and the boys on earth, ignoring the equally long span of time I created in the faux dimension where it all began.

I guess today's one of those days where I can expect some fun as the destined events unfold. After so long, finally! But a lot of things did happen in this span I was wandering. As I said, Soojin was busy with her emotions, it was her internal battles every day, so I had nothing worth mentioning.

Soojin and Sooyoung spent the next week all jittery and anxious after that 'sugar daddy' or whatever showed up. Soojin went recluse, her chats with Ateez had been minimal. She was scared. She or Sooyoung didn't and couldn't have known that that man had met with an accident on the same night( Fate's work) and I, taking that golden opportunity, wiped all his memories of Sooyoung and her contact details from his life. There was nothing to be afraid of, but of course, she couldn't know of that. It was when Sooyoung herself texted that man that she came to know that not only did he not save her contacts anymore, but also he didn't remember her. She didn't believe him, but when the man spoke of his accident, she played it off telling him she probably texted the wrong person.
