I grab her hand and instantly see her turn a deep shade of red.

"What do you think life would be like without soulmates then?"

The topic at hand, the very thing everybody in the world practically obsesses over and she just glosses over it. A phenomenon so extraordinary that scientist still don't fully believe in it, and it's just- insignificant to her.

Truly have never met someone like her. Just the thought of it makes my chest pound.

Wait.

No.

Bad chest. No heartbeat stop going faster. Thank god she's also too nervous to look at me now, I feel like I look like those old cartoon with my heart just racing out of my chest.

"I believe in it, I'm just not sure if I fully believe in mine," She pauses almost like she's rethinking her statement. "My dad got stuck with a shitty soulmate, and my brother got an amazing one- one of us is bound to get someone who doesn't make our story a fairytale." She shrugs.

Even when she's trying to put up a brave face, I can see the scared little kid hiding behind that mask.

"Or maybe, the universe gave you a dad who could teach you to keep looking for live that deserves you."

I feel her grip tighten on my hand as she stares down on her lap. Her breathing is unsteady, but she doesn't let her face change.

"I don't think I have much to offer Yongbok." She admits a chuckle escaping her lips and a look of slight exhaustion plays on her face. "Part of me is afraid that my soulmate just turns away, I know they'd be the biggest asshole on the planet and I wouldn't even want them as a soulmate at that point but-" her voice almost getting caught on her throat. "What if the person meant for me just sees me and decides I'm not enough."

Damn.

She pulls her hand away her arms crossing over her. I turn away the over head air rushing down on her.

"I think we're all afraid of that." I admit. "Sometimes I wonder if my soulmate is just gonna leave or that my world would be too overwhelming and I would have ruined everything I ever wanted."

She looks up at me, her doe eyes almost shining.

"No way." She declares. "You're too perfect for something like that to happen."

"Oh really?" I smirk, but she doesn't shy away this time.

"Definitely if anything it would be for your personality, or how you fall asleep in under 30 seconds, or the way-" I shove her shoulder slightly laughing along with her.

"You're too sweet."

"You already know, now clear off your tray so we can snack while watching whatever movie is free on this plane."
