My Rich Fate

Prologue

Have You ever fallen in love before? And if you have, have you ever thought about wether you would want to spend the rest of your life with that person, or not?

My name is Kim Taeyeon. I Live in Kings, New York. Here in America, i go by the name: Louis. I left Korea when i started college. Ever since i was a Child i could see these long red strings that were attached to people their fingers. The string connected two individuals together, who would eventually end up together romantically.

Of course, when i was young, i tried to tell people about what i could see, but no one ever believed me. I was always being called 'the crazy kid' well, i was done being crazy. I've tried to ignore the red strings as much as i could, but no matter where i was, or where i went, it would always follow me. It was everywhere and it annoyed the hell out of me. Sometimes, i wish i could just go to an inhabited island so i could be all alone without having to worry about other people their fates. Obviously, i can't because i'm not rich. The only reason i was able to move to America, was because my parents saved up money so they could get rid of me. Honestly, i'm glad i don't live with them anymore. It was always hell at home. In case you're wondering, yes, my parents are connected to each other by the red string. However, they fight a lot. They yell at each other and throw stuff around the house. Then, they 'kiss' and make up. They never paid any attention to me, not ever...

I myself, am not attached to anyone. I do have a string on my finger, but it's not attached to anything. The string is just wrapped and tied around my finger. I know it might seem weird for someone like me to not have a fated partner, since i'm able to see everyone's fated pair, but it might be better for me this way. Knowing i'm connected to someone for life, feels suffocating. I feel like i would see it as a prison. I don't get how fate can decide wether i'm allowed to date someone or not. However, I've tried dating many times, but it never ends well. They always unknowingly leave me for their fated partner. But i know. It was hard at first. You know, the feeling that I'll never be someone's number one, but I've made peace with it, that is, until now...

I was taking a walk through the city. My headphones on and my eyes glued to my phone while i tried to find the right song on Spot*fy. I had my phone in one hand and my Frappuccino Chocolate Coffee in my other hand. Obviously, i wasn't looking where i was going, but most of the time, people move out of the way, so i didn't really care. That is, until i bumped into a well dressed fellow. When I bumped into him, he was on the phone. He looked like he wasn't paying attention to the world around him either, but right before i fell after bumping into him, he caught me. His arm was wrapped around my waist, while he kept talking to his phone. He didn't even look at me. His expression was calm and serious. I was a bit flustered, since i didn't expect to bump into someone and even if i did, i never would've thought that person would catch me in a way that made it seem like we were in some kind of romance movie. Yet here we were.
