42| Silver string, why?

The temperature turned hotter last week, meaning that Summer was coming up. People were mostly on the beach or pools, kids started their summer holidays, so they hung out with their friends more often.

The couple was still in their "Cringy" stage,— let's not add Yewon because she's not as clingy as Jaehyun. But still, she didn't say anything when the boy clinged to her or stroked either her hair or cheek lovingly. Deep down, she liked it and the boy knew that.

They didn't want to tell their families about their relationship because they knew that they would've been teased a lot. But their families already knew it, they knew it since two months ago, when both of the soulmates were dying. They didn't say anything yet they teased their children whenever one of them said that they would hang out with their friends.

Their teases lasted three weeks, until Yewon and Jaehyun realized that their parents were teasing them when they asked them permission to go out. That day, both of them whined, making their parents laugh, but even though they were embarassed, the couple felt at ease because as the adults on both sides knew it, they didn't have to explain everything—although their mothers forced them to explain everything to them, creating an awkard and embarrassing moment.

Jaehyun was lying on his bed, thinking about everything that had happened between him and the girl in a short period of time. His mind was filled with unanswered questions. They asked the same, the reason behind their color and the meaning of it, but those questions coupdn't be answered and neither his mother knew.

However, he got starled when a sudden white light shone in his room. It soon turned into a person.

—Hello Jaehyun-ah —. A pink haired man with gray eyes welcomed him.
Jaehyun furrowed his eyebrows — How do you...
—You don't have to know —. The man interrupted him, shrugging it off. — I'm here to tell you about your string. I think it's time for you to know.

Jaehyun got more confused, nonethless, he nodded and the man sat on his desk chair, facing him.

—So... as you know, your string isn't normal —. The pink haired man started —. And I know that you already know that as it's silver, a color that doesn't belong to fate. You may wonder what it means and why did you get it.

Jaehyun nodded again, now paying more attention to the person in front of him.

—I have to confess that it was my wife's idea. She has watched the girl since she was just a kid and she's seen her suffering a lot of times and she felt bad for her. That's why she asked me to pair her with you, i agreed and well... I ended up pairing you both.
—Oh... I see... — Jaehyun hummed, not knowing what to say —May I ask who are you?
—Oh? Haven't I introduced myself already? —The latter asked. He then shook his head —Sorry, i tend to get distracted and i forget to introduce myself... i'm Amon, the god of love. I fate soulmates, but don't think that I also choose the color of their string, uh? I pair people but their string's color is all fate's doing.
The boy nodded once again and averted his eyes —Then... can you tell me about my string, Amon-nim?
—Don't be formal! I know I'm a god and all but I feel very old whenever someone treats me like an old man.

"Well... you are indeed an old man." Jaehyun thought.

—And regarding your string... it's silver because it means and somehow demostrate, the pain that both you and your soulmate —which name was...
—Yewon —. Jaehyun quickly said. —Her name is Yewon, Kim Yewon.
Amon nodded. —As I was saying... it means and demostrate all the pain that both of you have passed through before meeting each other. I thought that Silver was the best option for your case because I wanted it to be different, to be a way for you and other people to know that you have been through a lot of things. And I also wanted it to be a way to tell your story, not your past, but your present and future together.

Jaehyun was surprised. He finally understood his string, it's reason. And he loved it.

—I...i don't know what to say...— the boy said, letting out a flustered chuckle.
The god smiled. —You don't have to say anything, just understand your string, know your fate. And mostly, love and protect your soulmate.
Jaehyun smiled —I will.

The god dissapeared without saying anything else, leaving Jaehyun alone in his room again.

Filler! (once again, sorry!) I had to make another filler so that I could explain the meaning of their string.

Since I created this book, I knew that the string was going to be the most important thing of the whole plot — at least one of them, — and I'm sorry if you got a bit dissapointed as you wanted it to be more...idk, creative? Weird? Amazing?

However... I think the next chapter will be the last, I'm not sure. But I'm going to make probably two or three more chapters as the plot has arrived at it's conclusion.

But dw because I have another book to write ( I know I haven't updated Heaven and Hell for two weeks, but I'm thinking of something to make the plot more interesting, and it'll take some time. I'm sorry once again.) Thanks for your supporting as I can't believe it has reached 2.64K of views (more or less)! I hope you keep supporting my works and that you're all healthy!

Take care~
