Soulmates, One Way or Another. | Choi "Zeus" Woo-Je

004.

This went on for a few weeks, Wooje kept hearing her despite not streaming. He can hear everything his soulmate hears, the problem is that it's difficult to track her down because her schedule keeps changing. He hasn't caught up to her university time yet, after school she just goes back home and sometimes eat out, mostly indoors. 

She also didn't talk a lot for some reason, the only person she talks to is her professors/lecturers (when needed) and herself. She talks to herself... a lot...

Not like Wooje minds, he found it somewhat cute. He also hears himself like an echo on some days, which means she's watching his stream and getting to know about him and his teammates. Ever since that outburst after Worlds 2024, he hasn't really contacted his teammates. He has been at home, playing games and only sometimes going out whenever he had the mood to. He's barely on his phone as well, he finds his soulmate's life more interesting than his.

Wooje has an interview later about his chosen skin for this year's Worlds. Being honest here, he hasn't really thought or decided yet. He totally forgot about the tournament in the first place, he was distracted mentally, he just... wasn't really at the right mind space at the moment. He doesn't even remember what he played when he went against BLG.

Forget that, he has to go anyways. He got up from his bed, which he was there few hours ago without getting out even when he's awake, so unhealthy, am I right? He got ready, changing into a new set of clothes after doing his daily routine (freshening up and brushing his teeth, etc). As he went out of his house, the T1 van was already waiting outside his house. He entered the van, giving a small nod to the driver and settling down.

Wooje sat at the very back of the van. The driver told him that they will be picking up his teammates as well. Sighing, he nodded anyways. He stared out at the window as the driver continued to reach the location of his teammates.

I've been walking a quiet path, I didn't really wanna make friends, not my thing. Having friends means distraction, betrayal and even falling in love. I don't wanna fall in love anymore, I've been through enough... have I? You can't really change a lovergirl, she'll always be what she is. A hopeless romantic.

Sighing as I walked in my apartment after my classes ended, flopping onto my bed. Gosh, I stink! I've been sweating the entire day today. The weather was EXTREMELY hot and unfortunately, the air condition was also broken in most of my classes throughout the entire day. Thank God I didn't wear anything thick or any long sleeves, would've melted right then and there.

Getting up after a few minutes, stretching a few times and entering the bathroom. I realized I accidentally brought my bag in here as well, I placed it on the floor next to the door. I took off my clothing, throwing it into the laundry basket, missing a few pieces on the floor but was too lazy and tired to get it. 'Ah, I'll just do it later...' I thought to myself, proceeding to my shower.

I turned the heater off, walked out from the bathroom to get my towel which I forgotten to bring with me, also giving the heater some time to turn off completely at the same time. I placed the towel nicely on the towel rack and went in the shower.

"Ahh..~" I smiled in relaxation as I turned the water on, the cold water hitting my skin just nicely. Finally, something cold after the extremely hot day. "This feels so nice..." I closed my eyes, letting the water drench me completely, a smile still plastered on my face. 

If I could, I'd already fall asleep in the shower, It felt so cool and chill, especially after sweating buckets earlier today. I'll just rest here for a bit. Maybe one day if I earn enough, I'll get a bathtub so I can actually soak myself and relax.

(Slight NSFW Warning!)

Wooje was bored and looked uninterested during the interview. Hyeonjun that sat beside him was worried, 'maybe we pushed too far that day...' he thought to himself. He wanted to apologize to the fellow top laner after the interview, this was an important thing anyways. 

He was just staring at a wall, totally unbothered. Hyeonjun then saw Wooje's eyes suddenly widened, his body stiffening as well. 'Huh..?'

Wooje on the other hand, has heard something he has never heard before his whole life. Just a few minutes ago, he heard his soulmate opening a door, entering somewhere. He figured it was just his soulmate entering her apartment, it was somewhat late, anyways. What he didn't think he'd hear is a moan, specifically coming from her. 

'W-What... was that?' Wooje thought to himself, he wasn't the type to watch... you know, from websites or anywhere. He never really was interested in the first place, he only had simple information about it from his classes. This is his first time hearing a moan, instantly having a reaction, an erection to be exact. 

Wooje was all flustered up, shuffling in his seat, only gaining Hyeonjun's attention because they were sitting next to each other. "This feels so nice...", Wooje heard from his soulmate, making him even more red. He tried to hide his erection, covering it with his hands. Thank God he decided to wear a mask, no one could see how red he really was. Wooje has never gotten an erection before, he's only heard about it from his guy friends, but even they were somewhat private about it. He doesn't know how to handle it, he doesn't wanna ask his teammates either.

He moved slightly, accidentally palming his crotch and instantly, he let out a low breathy moan, barely audible to Hyeonjun, however, unheard by others. Wooje excused himself, walking out from the meeting room and entering the bathroom. He was confused on why this was happening, he didn't think it was that big of a reaction, he wasn't expecting this at all. 

"This girl... is going to be the death of me." He muttered under his breath.

Back at the meeting room, Hyeonjun was worried. 'Maybe he was hurting... should I go check on him?' He thought to himself. He then shrugged it off, 'Wooje was a strong person, he should be fine'

Minhyung and Minseok were deciding if they want their skins to be Xayah and Rakan, a smile plastered on their faces as they discussed. Minseok, however, thought it would be good to have a Pyke skin because his plays when he used Pyke were legendary and went noticed by fans and the audience. He was also deciding if he wanted to pick Renata Glasc as well. He was stuck with Renata and Bard last year but eventually went for Bard. Maybe Renata Glasc will finally have a Worlds skin this year. Minhyung was thinking of Varus or Jhin if Minseok didn't want to pick Rakan. He played other champions as well but had the best K/D on these two champions specifically.

Sanghyeok was deep in thought though. I mean, it's understandable, he already has 8 skins in his name, this is the 9th skin he'd have in his name once again. He'd most likely go or Sylas, or Ahri. It depends. Hyeonjun honestly didn't really think about what skin he wanted for the game as well, he also felt guilty of what happened during when they were at the backstage. 'Maybe Vi? Xin Zhao could be a good pick as well...' He thought to himself.

Whichever choice they pick, they just hope the fans would enjoy it as much as they did.
