Metanoia | Sunki

3

On the next day when they saw each other at the court, neither of them bothered to greet each other. Both of them were so caught up in blaming one another that they didn't think of the possible price they would have to pay for the removal process. To say they were full of themselves was an understatement. At some point, they didn't even care if they played a part in the mix-up, they just wanted to get rid of each other and meet their actual soulmate. It was understandable that things didn't go as expected for them but they could have at least worked on their faults and made things right. All they did was accuse each other instead of accepting their mistake.

"We both equally played a part in this mix-up. We had our fair share of mistakes and want to fix them, your Honour." Sunoo nodded his head and then sat back down before he kicked Ni-ki's foot under the table since he looked like he was about to say something that the judge would not like. "I understand. But to break this bond, you must pay a price." After hearing the price, both their eyes widened. They were just two teenagers who had hardly started their life and ended up with the wrong soulmate. Sunoo looked down and Ni-ki sighed, neither of them cared that they'd have to juggle multiple jobs to make it happen. And so, they agreed.

"We'll save up the money and come around. Thank you." Ni-ki bowed slightly and the Sunoo followed soon after and then they both left the court, both wondering how they would find a job. "I- we should meet up somewhere to discuss how we are going to collect the money," Sunoo took in a deep breath before turning to speak to Ni-ki, someone had to take the initiative and if they would keep hating each other, nothing would go right. Sunoo hoped that Ni-ki would give a positive response but to his dismay, he was totally wrong. "Yeah no, you can just text me. I can't be caught dead with you!" Ni-ki snapped his head towards Sunoo and spoke making the older sigh tiredly.

After a brief moment of exchanging numbers, the two boys parted ways without even saying goodbye. Usually, Sunoo wasn't the kind to hold grudges but after seeing how dismissive Ni-ki was towards him, he didn't really care about taking the initiative. He hated how Ni-ki didn't even try to make up with him. Once the boys were back to their houses, they waited for either one of them to message first, having too much of an ego to start the conversation. Sunoo sighed after an hour passed with no message from Ni-ki, he picked up his phone and then texted the younger. He believed that if they wanted to get rid of each other then they needed to make a plan.

KS: Start looking for jobs for two. I'll do the same.
