THREE DAYS. three sunrises and three sunsets until the soulmate ticker reveals the young prodigy's destined mate.
yet, the news held no spark of joy for him.
who really cared who would be his soulmate anyway?
his heart, a stubborn compass, had already chosen its north star years ago, and it pointed steadfastly towards y/n.
the image of his beloved, y/n soothed his spirit; her eyes had the warmth of a thousand bonfires, her laughter like wind chimes on a june breeze.
her brilliance had shadowed him growing up, and his own extraordinary talent was a result of her unrelenting support.
he refused to consider the thought of living without her since it represented a world filled with dark hues.
he would gladly give up the stadium's roars, the excitement of the audience, and the taste of victory in his mouth for y/n.
y/n is his sun.
and football, his once-burning dream, felt like a flickering candle.
he wouldn't exchange all the recognition in the world for the silent times they spent together beneath the stars and their whispered secrets.
love was an irresistible force that transformed sae's universe; it was not a choice.
with an absolute faith that defied reason, he realized that his happiness lay not in the accomplishment of some cosmic plan but rather in the little things that made up their daily existence, the promises that lay hidden in smiles and moments that were stolen.
so he waited, but not anxiously; rather, he waited with a calm, firm resolve.
although the soulmate ticker could guide him to a different path, his heart, acting as a compass, was already aware of the right one.
"sae? are you okay?" the young female's hand nestled in sae's, sensed the tremor in his grip.
his vulnerable eyes reflected the struggle inside of hers as he met her gaze.
"just scared," he said, his voice trailing off into emotion. "what if our paths are different, y/n? what if fate has another melody in store for you?"
gently gripping his hand, y/n arched an eyebrow, her touch a subtle assurance. "different? how so?"
fear tightened in sae as he gulped. his voice wavered, a whisper against the storms, "what if someone else is your soulmate?"
