Joshua took a deep breath as he stood outside the principal's office. His first day at the new university and his nerves were all over the place. He knocked softly and was ushered in, receiving his class schedule and a warm welcome from the principal. Clutching the paper tightly, he made his way to his first class.
Walking into the classroom, he felt every pair of eyes on him. The professor asked him to introduce himself, and Joshua, feeling his cheeks flush, managed to stammer out his name and a brief introduction. He quickly scanned the room for a seat and noticed an empty bench in the far corner. Gratefully, he hurried over and sat down, hoping to blend into the background.
Minutes later, the door opened again, and a lively boy walked in. He spotted a seat near joshua and immediately made a beeline for him. "Hi, I'm Seungkwan. What's ur name " I'm Joshua Hong". Is this seat taken he asked, Joshua shook his head, feeling a tiny spark of hope. Maybe this new start wouldn't be so bad after all.
Seungkwan chatted easily, his friendliness helping Joshua relax. When class ended, Seungkwan turned to Joshua with a bright smile. "Let's be friends! You seem like a nice guy, and I don't have a lot of friends who are quiet like you. I think we'd get along great."
Joshua couldn't believe his luck. Back at his old college, he'd been bullied and had very few friends. "Really? I'd like that," he said shyly, a smile spreading across his face.
Seungkwan grinned. "Great! I want to introduce you to my friends. We're a big group, Twelve of us, and I'll introduce you to my boyfriend, Vernon. Come on, let's go to the cafeteria."
Joshua followed Seungkwan, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. When they reached the cafeteria, Seungkwan led him to a large table where ten other students sat, talking and laughing. They all looked up as Seungkwan approached.
"Guys, this is Joshua. He's new here," Seungkwan announced. One by one, the others introduced themselves. Joshua felt a little overwhelmed, they all seemed so confident and self-assured. But he was grateful for Seungkwan's presence by his side.
As they all started eating, Joshua kept to himself, still feeling a bit nervous. Suddenly, he noticed two more students walking towards their table. They were tall, handsome, and exuded a quiet intensity that made Joshua's heart race. Seungkwan noticed his reaction and turned to see who he was looking at.
"That's Mingyu and Wonwoo," Seungkwan said. "They're really nice once you get to know them." and guys this is Joshua.
Joshua nodded, but he couldn't shake the feeling that there was something more about them. As Mingyu and Wonwoo sat down, Joshua felt a strange pull, like a magnetic force drawing him towards them. His eyes met theirs, and for a moment, everything else faded away.
Mingyu and Wonwoo seemed just as taken aback. They exchanged a look, and Joshua saw something in their eyes that mirrored his own confusion and recognition. It was then that Joshua realized they were his soulmates. He'd heard stories about soulmates, about the instant connection and the sense of completion, but he'd never believed it would happen to him.
The shock was too much. He abruptly stood up, his heart pounding. "I... I have to go," he muttered, ignoring Seungkwan's concerned calls. He fled the cafeteria, his mind racing. How could he have not one but two soulmates? And why did it have to happen now, when he was just starting to find his footing?
Mingyu and Wonwoo watched him go, their expressions a mix of shock and happiness. They had always known they were meant to be together, but something had always felt missing. Now they knew what it was: Joshua. He was the one they were meant to cherish and protect.
Mingyu and Wonwoo had always been close, their bond almost palpable to those around them. They met in high school, where Mingyu's outgoing and energetic personality perfectly complemented Wonwoo's quieter, more introspective nature. They quickly became inseparable, discovering a deep connection that went beyond friendship.
