chapter 1

"Chagrin, annoyance or distress at having failed or been humiliated."

After pulling out all the items needed I turned to the stranger and asked him to show his elbow, he cooperates as I gently clean the wound, but as soon as I touch the wound the stranger grunts in pain.

"Soo... whats your name..?" I ask awkwardly trying not to hurt him.

"Jungkook..." The stranger mumbles, he almost seems uncomfortable. Which that I feel guilty for. "What a-about you?"

"(Y/N)." I saw with a small smile as I gently wrap bandages around his elbow, "Done, you may leave now and I'm sorry for what I have done."

After what I had said I felt a weird pain in my elbow, I yelped as I held my elbow in pain wondering what went wrong, Jungkook walks over to me clearly worried.
I try to get a good look at my elbow but nothing was there. I was confused. Jungkook was shocked, I didn't know why.

"W-Whats wrong?" I ask trying to ignore the pain in my elbow, giving him a small awkward smile trying to make the situation better.

Jungkook raises his arm to his neck and pinches it, I feel someone pinch me on the neck right as he pinches his neck, I touch my neck to make sure there is nothing there, I feel my skin as I realize nothing was there.

I look behind me to see no one and look back. By that time Jungkook was already pinching his left forearm, I gasped as I felt a pinch on my left forearm.

My mind rushes to a story I was told countless times as a child, that one day you will meet your soulmate.

Someone you will meet decided fate. But the only way to figure out who your actual soulmate is by hurting yourself to find out who your soulmate is.

"Are.. you my soulmate?" I say quietly, taking a step toward so we are at least a meter away from each other.

Jungkook mumbles some incoherent things as he runs out of the small house a few seconds after I've stepped forward.

I rush to the entrance as I see Jungkook running in the distance. Who is he?

---

I finish cleaning my wound that I had unknowingly got and sighed. Who knew this day would be so exhausting?

I take a step outside my house and walk to the library where my friend, Boram, lives. Her family owns the library so her family is a middle class whilst I'm a lower class, but my family is starting to earn enough money to be called a middle class.

Before I knew it I had made it to the library. It was pretty close to my house, the main reason I came here was that I wanted to get a book about soulmate and maybe ask Boram some questions.

I make sure to visit this place at least once or twice a week to visit my friend and improve my reading and writing.

I walk inside the feeling of heat surrounding me and warning me up. I look over to the counter Boram's dad would usually work. He was talking with a customer. I walked to the part where there are actually books so I wouldn't disturb them.

I walk through the bookshelves and soon enough, I was surrounded by books. I look at them, looking at a few titles, 'The Hunt', 'Danger', 'The History of Doryu', etc.

They had all types of genres so that we could feast our eyes on the information we have access too or a compelling story we could entertain ourselves with.

After a bit of looking, I finally made it to the other side of the building where there is a staircase that goes up to my friend's room.

"Boram..?" I say loud enough so that she could probably hear my voice.

I got no response so I just decided to go up anyways. I listen to my feet colliding with the staircase as I go up one step at a time.

When I reach the top I slowly open the door in front of me. A sweet flowery smell hits my nose as I enter the organized room.

Boram was had fallen asleep in her big chair, her round glasses almost falling off her face. I don't know why but Boram always wore glasses even though she didn't need them.

I guess she wears it because it looks good. I walk up to her and gently tap on her shoulder, she was a light sleeper so she could be woken up pretty easily.

"....." she didn't respond but instead grunted.

"Boram," I say softly. She finally opened her eyes, pushing up her glasses so they wouldn't fall off.

"Oh hey (Y/N).." she said quietly whilst rubbing her eyes. "Do you need anything? Or do you want to hang out?"

"Well, I wanted to talk to you about soulmates and ask if there are any books about soulmates," I ask sheepishly.

Boram eyed me suspiciously since I don't care that much about the concept of soulmates.

"Well. I do have some books about soulmates...follow me." Boram said smiling, taking me by the hand and downstairs to the library.

We were walking to a part where not a lot of people visit but it made sense because a lot of people don't care about the concept of soulmates at this point.

Boram stopped and let go of my hand. I watched as she went forward and started looking through the bookshelves and then stopped at a spot pulling a few books out. She walked over to me and put the books down on a nearby table.

"There you go anything else?" Boram said with an accomplished smile.

I thought for a second, maybe she knows who Jungkook is, for some reason his name is really familiar.

"Ermm.. do you know who 'Jungkook' is?" I say as I fiddle with my fingers.

Boram looks at me with a surprised expression.

"You don't know who Jungkook is??" Boram says almost shouts.

I gulped as I shook my head. Boram sighed as she realizes how much I spend my time daydreaming and reading.

"He's one of the 7 princes you dimwit, the youngest one," Boram says disappointed as I slowly remember why he was so familiar.

I've heard his name in so many places and today actually,

/flashback/

I chuckle to myself at that thought. I start to grow bored as I tried to guess which prince it was, It was a pretty big crowd so it was almost impossible to see, I walked around the crowd from a safe distance, observing until I heard a fangirl scream;

"Jungkookie!!"

I smile to myself satisfied as I leave the park finally figuring out who the center of attention was.

/flashback/
