"A-are you my soulmate?"

Both girls dropped their controllers on the couch and ran to the front door, standing next to Yeonjun. The two looked back and forth between the boys in front of them.

"I'm sorry but, what did you just say? Soulmate?" Xenia piped up, pulling everyone out of the trance they were in.

"I think I am" Yeonjun replied to the boy in front of him, completely ignoring his best friend. Both boys stayed where they were, too stunned to move or say anything else.

"Well come in then idiots" she spoke up once again, pulling Yeonjun and the pizza delivery man into her apartment, and closing the door behind them. Her sister taking the food out of the boy's hands and placing it on the counter. Pulling out a breadstick before walking back over to the three standing in front of the door.

Xenia snapped her fingers in the older's face, "Helloooo earth to Yeonjun, you can't stay like this all night"

Both boys shook their heads as they finally escaped their trance, still not saying a word to each other. She sighed, turning to face the stranger now standing in her house.

"Hi, I'm Lee Xenia, welcome to my house, this is Choi Yeonjun" she grabbed the older's arm, shaking him gently as she spoke.

"And this is my sister Lee Hyejin" she gestures a hand towards the younger who is currently munching down on a breadstick.

"What's your name?" her gaze focused on the boy in front of her.

"O-oh I'm sorry, I'm Choi Beomgyu" he bowed, locking his eyes back onto his suspected soulmate once standing back up.

"Beomgyu... That's such a cute name" Yeonjun finally spoke, still staring at the boy. Xenia swears he hasn't blinked this whole time.

"T-thank you, Y-yeonjun is cute too" the boy replied, a faint blush visible on his cheeks. Hyejin cooed at the two.

"So," she chimed in, "What's your soulmate connection then?"

Yeonjun finally removes his eyes from the boy and pulls up his shirt sleeve, revealing a tattoo in small font on his bicep, 'Hello pretty'.

His attention turns back to Beomgyu, who is now lifting his shirt sleeve to reveal a tattoo in the same style, 'What did you just say'. Yeonjun could feel his eyes start to sting.

"Oh my god, it's really you, you're really my soulmate" he places a hand over his mouth as a few tears stream down his face. "You're beautiful" he pushes out through incoming sobs. This is all Yeonjun has ever wanted. To find his person, his soulmate, and he's finally here.

"C-can I hug you?" Beomgyu asks, tears now threatening to leave his eyes. Yeonjun nods rapidly.

"Yes, yes you can, oh my god" the older practically threw himself on the boy, engulfing him in a tight hug. The younger returns the hug, tears now slipping down his cheeks.

"My god stop it before you make me cry too" the owner of the apartment spoke up, cupping her cheeks and turning towards her sister who was already crying.

"Shut up Xen, he just met his soulmate" the crying younger gently punched her sister in the arm.

The two boys released each other and wiped their own tears away. Yeonjun sniffled.

"Can I have your number so we can talk?" he pulled out his phone, passing it to the younger boy who was nodding back at him. After putting his number in the other's phone, Beomgyu noticed the time, his shift wasn't over yet. Xenia handed him $35 dollars as he rushed out the door.
