Metanoia | Sunki

6

After both Sunoo and Ni-ki realized that they were indeed going to the same university, they decided to shake it off and ignore each other as much as they could. Sunoo knew for sure he was going nowhere near Ni-ki and his friends. The first day of school was going pretty well for Sunoo, with his senior friends, Jake and Jay he was feeling at ease around the crowds of students until Jake had to drag him and Jay to meet his soulmate. "Guys, this is my soulmate, Heeseung!" Jake chirped happily as he pulled Heeseung to his side, the older smiled, kissing Jake's cheek and then waved sheepishly at Sunoo and Jay. "You were the announcer back in the ceremony!"

The two boys smiled warmly at him but a scowl that managed to form on Sunoo's face made them all frown. Ni-ki smirked as he noticed the look on Sunoo's face, he threw an arm around Heeseung's shoulders as he approached the group and then whispered a few things into his ear. Sunoo quickly corrected his expression and Heeseung nodded before brushing Ni-ki's hand off of him. "No, tell Sunghoon I am not willing to join the journaling team! He needs to know that he's too sly for my liking." Heeseung pushed Ni-ki away from the little circle they had all formed and then turned his attention to his soulmate and newfound friends. Ni-ki, however, joined them once again.

"What Sunghoon are you talking about exactly?" Ni-ki smiled smugly before answering, "Park Sunghoon." Sunoo's eyes widened and Heeseung cringed, "Why do your expressions keep changing every two minutes?" Sunoo shook his head as Heeseung pointed a blaming finger at him before letting out a sigh. He had to tell them. They couldn't keep it hidden for too long. "In the marking ceremony, I wasn't really paying attention to you and mixed up the numbers on the ticket. He didn't understand half the Korean you spoke and messed up too. We both became each other's soulmates accidentally and now hate each other but the worst part? My actual soulmate is Park Sunghoon."

Jake gasped and Jay looked down as if he was guilty, which he indeed was. Heeseung nodded his head, trying to find a solution. "I say you both try to get along." Heeseung smiled at Sunoo before ruffling his hair, the oldest didn't dare mention the removal process for he knew that not only was it expensive but also pretty dangerous. "We did consult about the removal process and applied for jobs to pay for it." Sunoo smiled proudly and Ni-ki also hummed but the other three grimaced and that left the two youngest confused. "What?" Ni-ki laughed it out but still remained scared about what they would say next.

"Are you sure that you want to risk it?" Ni-ki stared at Sunoo and then shifted his gaze towards Heeseung, who only shrugged. This time, it was Sunoo's turn to laugh as he stared at all of them with confusion. "Risk what? Our money? We'd rather spend it all than spend a second with each other." Jake shook his head and Jay took in a deep breath before finding the courage to tell them what they were getting themselves into. Sunoo gasped and Ni-ki's eyes widened as Jay spoke, "The removal process is not fun and games. Your life is at risk, one of you could die in the process of being separated."
