2|Weverse post

Ye-won'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.~

Omg.

They just posted this for saying that?

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

I sighed.

- Ye-won a!-. I hear mom call me.
- Coming!-. I shouted back.

I stood up from my bed and grabbed my phone, I then went downstairs.

- What happened?-. I ask my mother.
- The son of our new neighbors 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 opened it and saw a short boy with blonde hair, smiling at me.

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

He seems funny.

- Nice to meet you... Riwoo-. I hesitate-. 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 this 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, thanks... I guess-. I say.

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 Ye-won, 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 as mom.

- Mom!-. I call her.
- Yes, sweetie? -. She asks.
- The neighbors gifted us a bouquet of flowers-. I tell her.
- Oh. Let me see -. She stands up from the sofa and looks at the flowers gently -. 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 sighed and touched 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 of myself, but deep down, it's just a facade.

Well... I don't think that low of myself, 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 so that it leads me to 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 sighed and smiled 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.
