Metanoia | Sunki

2

After a few hours, Sunoo was finally marked, the boy was so excited that he forgot he had just guessed his position. He skipped to the place where he could find his soulmate and stood there in eagerness, tapping his feet on the ground anxiously. Sunoo couldn't contain his excitement as he nervously awaited the moment to meet his soulmate, for the first time. He felt a mix of nervousness, anticipation, and curiosity bubbling within him. Sitting on one of the benches in that area, he found himself constantly checking his watch and glancing around in the hope to catch a glimpse of someone who might be them.

The air felt electric with anticipation as his mind wandered about how they would finally connect. His heart fluttered at the thought of seeing their eyes meet, wondering if they too were feeling as impatiently excited as him. With each passing minute, Sunoo's confidence grew along with the eagerness to meet the person he would be spending the rest of his life with. But little did he know, his soulmate was just a confused mess after he was marked. Ni-ki stood aimlessly in the vast area, his mind a mess as he tried to focus on finding the area to meet his soulmate amongst the crowds of loud and panicked people.

It took him some time, but when he finally reached there, he saw the black-haired boy seated on a bench, fidgeting way too much for his liking. As he approached him, a part of him was intent but the other was worried. What if he wasn't his soulmate? "Hey, Sunghoon, I'm Sunoo!" The black-haired boy greeted Ni-ki enthusiastically but Ni-ki only stared at him wide-eyed. At that point, the younger knew he had messed up. "I'm not Sunghoon." Ni-ki slowly shook his head, biting his lip, his eyes nowhere close to Sunoo. "How come you have the same mark as mine then?" Confusion was written all over Sunoo's face, but when he remembered what he had done, he could only gasp. "I don't know." Ni-ki looked down.

"Your Korean seems a little off, do you think you confused things?" Sunoo looked at Ni-ki, who nodded and the older sighed, "I messed up too." The two of them could only stare at each other in disbelief for a few moments and Sunoo couldn't help but fidget with the hem of his shirt continuously. "Can you please stop doing that?" Ni-ki pointed his index to where Sunoo's fingers met his shirt and then glanced at the older irritatedly. Sunoo cringed and then rolled his eyes, "Can you please tell me your name?" Sunoo eyed Ni-ki as he gritted his teeth, a victorious smirk playing on the older's lips as he messed around with his shirt even more. "I'm Nishimura. Hell, I was so excited to meet my soulmate. I can't believe I'm stuck with you!" Ni-ki sighed.

"Your soulmate is right here. You're the one depressing the mood," Sunoo retorted, his body turning away from Ni-ki, who seemed too ignorant for his own good. "You weren't supposed to be my soulmate. How did you even fuck up?" The younger snapped at Sunoo before he stood up from the bench. "I was on a call with someone. It was rather important." Sunoo huffed but Ni-ki didn't seem to care, he only walked away from Sunoo. "What is more important than finding your soulmate?" Sunoo sighed when Ni-ki spoke, he knew it was his fault for being ignorant but it was equally Ni-ki's too. "If finding your soulmate is important, why didn't you bring someone with you, knowing your Korean is shit?" Sunoo finally snapped, he could not take it anymore, "Let's just meet at the court tomorrow. I cannot live a second with you."
