2|Weverse post

Yewon's pov:

When is Weverse going to post that damn thing so that I can participate?

It said that the participation event will be posted today at 17:00 in KST, but it's already 17:10, and it's not posted yet.

Suddenly, my phone rang.

I quickly look at the notification.

Finally!!

Weverse has posted it just now.

I opened the app and entered the participation event.

I registrated my Weverse account along my e-mail.

—Done! —. I say —. Now, I have to wait for any info. I hope to be chosen.

I asked my mother I could participate and she said: Do whatever you want. You're older enough to know what to do. But let me tell you that you won't go anywhere with it.

So... I listened to her, and I participated.

My phone rang again and I checked what it was.

☆Weverse has sent you a notification.

Again?

They couldn't have chosen that fast, right?

I entered the app for the second time.

~ This is Weverse.

We wanted to inform you that the lucky fan will be revealed when the time period ends, though the said fan will know that he/she was chosen before.

Hope you are the lucky fan.

Weverse.~

Oh my god.

They just posted this for saying that?

For a moment, I thought that they had already chosen.

I sigh.

—Yewon-ah! —. I hear mom call me.
—Coming!—. I shouted back.

I stand up from my bed and grab my phone, then went downstairs.

—What happened?—. I ask my mother.
—The son of our new neighbours is outside.
—Ok... and? Why did you make me come downstairs just to tell me that? —. I ask.
—Because he's your age, and you'll open the door for him —. She says.

Son? Great.

I sighed and went to the front door. I open it, and i'm greeted by a short boy with blonde hair, smiling at me.

—Hello. — I greet him.
—Hi! I'm Lee Riwoo, and I'm your new neighbour from next door —. He introduces himself.

He seems funny.

—Nice to meet you... Riwoo —. I hesitate before introducing myself too —. I'm Kim Ye-won.
—That's a pretty name!
—Thanks —. I sheepishly smile.
—Uh... i came here to greet you, and my mother sent me to give you this —. He hands me a bouquet of flowers.
I take the flowers from his hands —. Thanks. I'll tell my mother that you gifted us these pretty flowers.

I don't know why i said that.

Pretty? They are just flowers.

I guess I just wanted to be kind.

He scratched the back of his neck —. Well... um... y-ou are beautiful too —. He sutters.

What?

—Oh, thank you... I guess —. I say, uncomfortable.

An awkward silence surrounded us.

—This is so awkward —. I whisper.
—Yeah..—. He laughs awkwardly —. Well... uh... I have done my job here... so... bye?
I giggle —. Ok. Bye~ —. I bid him goodbye and close the door.

Will he be my soulmate?

Why am I thinking about it?

Kim Yewon, you hate soulmates and fate. Remember that it's fake.

Even if it wasn't. Fate would fate you with the wrong person.

When I get my "string."—If I ever get it, of course.— I'll tell my " soulmate" that I don't want anything to do with him and that I don't want him.

Because I'll just get hurt in the end, as mom.

—Mom! — I call her.
—Yes? —. She asks.
—The neighbours gifted us a bouquet of flowers —. I tell her.
—Oh, let me see —. She stands up from the sofa and looks at the flowers —. They're so pretty... —. She then looks at me —. Put them in the vase with water near the living room's window, please.
—Got it.

I put the flowers in the vase that mom has told me.

I sigh and touch a petal of a flower —. Why are you so beautiful? You make me feel jealous —. I pout.

I don't think I'm beautiful at all, even though some people told me that. I always act confident and secure, but deep down, it's just a facade.

Well... I don't think that low of myself though... I'll give myself a 6/10.

Why? I don't know. I just feel like it.

I have black wavy hair, though it's dyed navy blue from the bottom. I have big green eyes and I wear glasses.

I have some freckles on my nose and one under my left eye.

And... a part of me hopes that my birthday was tomorrow so that I could get a string and follow it to meet my soulmate.

But, my other part thinks negatively.

I'm quite curious about who my soulmate will be, but I have a lot of time until my birthday comes.

I sigh again and smile at the flowers before going to my room.

I can't think of fate and all this stuff because it'll make me crazy in the end.

So... Yewon is quite insecure and confused...

P.S: one day left for 9-9 to come~
