Now.

God, my heart hurts.

Like seriously. It doesn't just hurt because I hurt an innocent girls feelings; it genuinely, truly feels as though it is about to rip out of my chest.

The pulsing is almost explosive. I can hear each individual beat of my heart as it's racing, catching up only to the sound of the cars speeding around me.

"Hyung can you turn up the ac?" I ask to my manager, the temperature in here is rising by the second and it's suffocating.

I slip off the oversized hoodie I'm wearing, hoping it might relieve some of the discomfort. God, I'm sweating like a pig. A thin layer of sweat is just costing me. It's all over my back, my neck, my arms, my soulmate mark.

Wait.

What. The. Fuck.

The intricate design travels down my arm, I pull up my sleeve and see how it connects further up my torso, even parts of my hands. It all looks so familiar.

The swirl and pattern of it, I swear I've seen it a hundred times.

Holy shit!

What do I do?

"You okay back there?" My manager asks, as we make eye contact through the rear view mirror.

I quickly cover up my arm with my hoodie. I can't let him see this. I know how the company reacts when soulmates get revealed. I've seen it with Jisung and Minho, I've seen it with Chan, no way can I let that happen with-.

Wait.

Who even is my soulmate?

The feverish heat I was feeling suddenly turns into a icy shiver. I feel it throughout my soulmate mark, like I have a sudden ice block everywhere and as I slip on my hoodie I realize no amount of plush cotton seems to make it disappear.

A soulmate mark is supposed to correlate in some way with my soulmate.

What about my soulmate would make the swirls and patches on my body make sense.

-We're going to meet going down a black hole?
-They like marble patterns?
-They have this design tattooed?
-They're really into zebra cake?

Ok 2/4 are somewhat plausible at least.

God, what am I supposed to do?

Who can I even tell? I know the managers will freak, my family will freak out even more, and no way can I let my members know; it'll be absolute chaos trying to get anything done.

I stare at my rolled up sleeve, I know I've seen it before.

For the first moment in what seems like ages, I feel almost at peace. Don't get me wrong I'm definitely still freaking out and cursing up a storm in my head. But something in me just knows. It's familiar, so it has to be someone or something that I've seen; either recently or I see it frequently enough where my subconscious knows it.

I never fully grasped when soulmates say "they knew the second they got their marks". I believed it, but actually feeling it is a whole other level of euphoria.

I'm going to find my person.

...

I just have no clue how.

An icy chill runs down my other arm, my eyes practically bulge out of their sockets as I see delicate calligraphy scribe itself on my wrist.
