The entire prospect of the word soulmate was enough to make Seokjin laugh. Though whether the laugh was one of bitterness or humor was still unknown. To say he was tired was an understatement. His empty wrists mocked him, he had just one day before his time was up.

One day before the universe decided that he was so worthless that he was fated to be alone. He couldn't stop the stray tears which betrayed him as they fell. He buried his face in his pillow to hide his screams of anguish. Sleep did not come easily to him that day.

He was in a flurried state when he woke. Unable to fully process the thoughts of the day before. However he did know that if he didn't get to class in the next forty minutes he would be late. This was enough to make the young man jump out of bed, his perfect attendance was on the stake here!

He was toweling his hair dry, after taking a record time shower, when a flash of something black caught his eyes. His knees became weak and he dropped to the floor. He wrapped his arms around himself, leaning against the bathroom as support while he sobbed.

Adorning each wrist were six beautiful names. He didn't even think about how unusual it was to have so many names, when the most people have heard of was two, even then two soulmates was a lot. However, Seokjin was too wrapped up in his relief to care.

In that moment he made a vow to be there and protect his soulmates no matter what. Even if they didn't want him, it was his duty and one he was only too happy to meet. Seokjin thought that maybe he could take a break from his perfect record. Today, he decided he would take a well earned rest.
