SMEnt had become very touchy-feely at the start of the year. Professor BoA Kwon had announced that as the eighth years were of age, they were to find their soulmates this year, simply by and feeling and seeing colored sparks when they touched skin-on-skin.

"Do you really believe in soulmates?" Yeri said dubiously one night, looking up from her book. "I mean, it's very unlikely, isn't it? One true person for everyone? Jaewon never got his, did he? Neither did Kasper. I don't think they exist."

"Er," Kyungsoo replied, scratching his head. "I'm not sure. And Kasper got Madame Taeyeon, did he not?"

However, Yeri was proved wrong when she touched Sehun. Sparks shot up immediately, engulfing them in a slightly stinging sensation.

Kyungsoo was disappointed. He didn't want his soulmate to be some random girl he didn't know. He had already touched his friends, but hadn't seen or felt any sparks. It would be better if a friend were his soulmate rather than an unfamiliar girl. He didn't like anyone at the moment and doubted he ever would. Lately, he seemed to find girls simply... unattractive.

Sehun and Yeri were shimmering. They held hands for most of the time, red sparks circling around their wrists, indicating their bond. Sehun really tried to be happy for them, but he couldn't help feeling slightly jealous. He also couldn't figure out the feeling of relief he got whenever he heard Park Chanyeol hadn't found his soulmate yet.

They did a lot of nodding, he and Chanyeol. They weren't exactly friends, but they definitely weren't the rivals they had used to be. There seemed to be some unresolved tension and awkwardness between them. Whenever Kyungsoo caught Chanyeol's eye, they were automatically nodding at each other to show their civility. This was why Kyungsoo tried to avoid Park as often as possible; he couldn't deal with the discomfort of accidentally attracting his formal enemy's attention.

Kyungsoo was doing just terrible, really. It felt like a whole piece of him was missing. The war had been hell, to watch those whom he loved suffer and sacrifice themselves for him. He offered a weak smile whenever he saw Kim Jongin, because despite Jongin's brother being quite bothersome, Kyungsoo couldn't help but feel responsible for his death. His chest was crowded with guilt and frustration. Many nights brought tears to his eyes and nightmares to his brain. The closest people he had to his parents were all gone. Kyungsoo had broken up with Sojin because he didn't harbor feelings for her anymore. No matter how hard he tried, he could only feel brotherly love for her. He especially despised how everybody wanted Do Kyungsoo, the chosen one, but not Kyungsoo. They wanted his fame and glory. They wanted the savior. They didn't want him.

Kyungsoo spent much of his time under the invisibility cloak, dodging heart-eyed eleven-year old fans who lurked around SMEnt tower, yelling for the "great Do Kyungsoo." Sehun and Yeri didn't seem to notice much; they were too wrapped up in each other, which Kyungsoo was fine with. He just wished he had what his best friends had: love. Occasionally Yeri would glance at him and tell him he looked tired, and sometimes Sehun would ask if he needed a cheering charm. From time to time, they would bring up the fact that they hadn't seen Kyungsoo for what felt like days, but Kyungsoo would wave it off.

It was a Saturday, at last. Kyungsoo threw on his invisibility cloak, traipsing past Yeri and Sehun, who were doing their daily activity: snogging. He pushed open the portrait, slipping out of the EXO dorms unnoticed. He took a deep breath, preparing to sprint past the first years surrounding the portrait hole.

"Show yourself!" one of them demanded, taking out her wand.

Kyungsoo suppressed a snort. They were first years; there wasn't much they could do to defend themselves.
