Eight is Fate (Stray Kids Soulmate & School AU)

I Love You, Sung

Hana's POV

"Bye Channie!" I wave, stepping out of his car and walking towards my house.

"Bye baby girl, have a good night."

The showcase was over around midnight, and I was finally getting home around two in the morning. Luckily, it was announced that there was no school tomorrow due to the showcase running so late.

I open the door to my house and am instantly welcome with balloons and streamers galore.

"Congratulations, Hana!" My father cheered, throwing some confetti up in the air.

I smile, running to him and embracing him dearly. My father meant the world to me.

"Thank you, Dad."

"I can't tell you how proud I was seeing you perform up on that stage, Hana. I was screaming, 'That's my daughter! That's my baby!"

"Where did you sit? Not that I would've seen you, I was so focused on my performance."

"I was sitting in the upper levels. If I'm being honest, I forgot to buy my ticket so seats ran out quickly."

I giggle loudly, letting my true self shine. "Well, I'm famous now. I have so many followers on everything now."

"You deserve every follower, every like, and every positive comment that comes your way," My father says, poking my nose gently.

I suddenly yawn and my father notices instantly. He grabs my shoulders, and gently pushes me in the direction of the stairs.

"Bed, now. We can celebrate more tomorrow."

"Yes, Dad," I sigh. I begin walking in the direction of my room but am instantly reminded of the conundrum I'm in with Chan and Jisung. "Wait! I need your advice before bed."

"What is it?"

I turn to my dad and roll up my sleeve, showing off both Chan and Jisung's writing, with the gap for more writing in between the two. My Dad gasps, immediately grabbing my wrist and pulling it toward his face.

"Han Jisung?" He asks, examining the handwriting.

"Yes, it's another member of Stray Kids. But look," I point to the space in between the two names.

"You think there's more?"

"I mean there has to be more. Why would there be more space in between?"

"I don't know, Hana, but I know whatever it is, fate has a way of doing things. You're going to be loved very much, even if it's by more than one person. Don't let the haters make you feel otherwise."

"Thanks, Dad. I really needed to hear that."

I went upstairs after that and realized that I got a call from Jisung and missed it, so I called him back

He picked up on the first ring... Typical soulmate.

"Hey Sung, why'd you call?"

"We're off school tomorrow, right?"

I laugh quietly, stifling my voice. "Yes, Jisung. We're off."

"Let's go on a date; Let me kiss you properly this time."

My heart skipped a beat at the possibility of kissing Jisung again. I can't say I'm not excited.

"Okay!" I cheered. "Where were you thinking of going?"

"I'm not too sure, this was very last minute. But! I got some cash saved up and I'm willing to Uber anywhere you'd like to go."

"Hmm," I thought, placing a finger to my chin as if Jisung could see me. "Why don't we go pottery painting? I've heard that's pretty fun, and there's a studio within walking distance from where we live. It's right by where I work."
