✮ Chapter 7- Soulmates

If you could hear Jisung's heartbeat, you would panic yourself.

Wearing casual clothes in the middle of a giant room, filled with middle-aged men and women, all looking fancy and prepared.

No familiar face in site.

Wandering aimlessly

Alone.

His headache was worsening as he began looking for a bathroom, or any closed, empty room in site.

Jisung's eyes locked on a tall white door, running over to it and shutting the door behind him.
The room was dark, but the light from outside lit up the room well enough.
It was some sort of dining room.

He fell against the door as he breathed heavily, trying to calm himself down, ears ringing and hands shaking.

He sighed shakily, closing his eyes and burying his face in his hands.
"Just how embarrassing was that..."
He whispered to himself.

A knock was heard on the door, startling Jisung as he jumped to face the door.
It opened slowly, a face appearing from the gap.

"Oh, I apologize. I didn't know someone was in here".
A tall male figure was heard saying.

Jisung sniffed as he turned away to hide his face.
"It's okay".

The boy's face softened slightly as he approached Jisung.
"Hm, you look familiar".

"I'm..."
Jisung stuttered, stepping back.
"I'm a guest".

"Of who's?"

"Uh... Minho. L-Lee Minho".

"Lee Minho?"
The boy questioned, slightly tilting his head, his blond hair falling perfectly.
"Are you certain? That's unlike him".

"Y-Yes. I'm certain. Are you... familiar with each other?"

"We're good childhood friends, our families are acquaintances".
The boy softened his posture, closing the door and sitting beside Jisung.
"Hwang Hyunjin".

"Hm?"
Jisung looked up at him.

"My name, it's Hwang Hyunjin, but just call me Hyunjin, of course".

"Ah, I'm Han Jisung"
Jisung smiled warmly.

"HAN JI- HIS ROOMATE?"
Hyunjin gasped.
"God, I can't even see your face clearly, do you seriously not know me? We're in the same school".

"Hyunjin... uh..."
Jisung squinted his eyes as he looked at Hyunjin's face in the dark.
"AH! I KNOW YOU!"

"Phew, I was scared I truly have no presence in school".
Hyunjin sighed.

"Hey Hyunjin, Do you know, W-What this fancy gathering is all about?"
Jisung asked hesitantly.

"It's prepared by Minho's father. Every year or so, to announce some brand contract his company signed".
Hyunjin sighed, leaning back.
"It's Minho's first time coming here since forever, I'm surprised he even arrived today as a matter of fact, let alone..."
Hyunjin shifted his gaze to Jisung.
"Bring... a guest? You must be important to him".

Jisung lowered his head, snorting softly
"I wouldn't say so, I think I just caught him in a good mood".
He said, clearing his throat.
"Are they not in good terms? Minho and his father, I mean".

"I wouldn't want to speak on Minho's behalf but, no, I wouldn't say so, they rarely speak, if ever".

"Hm".
Jisung went quiet, gathering his thoughts.

"Wanna go back there? I've been wanting an excuse to talk to Minho either way".
Hyunjin smiled at the younger, as Jisung nodded, both of the boys standing up and leaving the room.
"Come on, I'm sure he's bothered by his sister by now".
