Ocean Blue || KaiSoo soulmate!AU

Chapter 8

There is something different from before, and Kyungsoo doesn't understand. Jongin is behaving weird, but not particular weird, just weird for him. Even though his commercial filming ended a while ago and the promotions for his new song are about to end, he doesn't seem stressed at all. They only have met twice since his filming ended due to him not being able to come over too often, but Kyungsoo even feels it in the way he texts. His soulmate developed a habit of sending morning and goodnight texts, sometimes with cute selfies, and he occasionally talks about how much he misses Kyungsoo by his side and his smile and how good Kyungsoo looks in the latest Selfie he sent, even though it has been one right after he got out of bed. If Jongin has been sweet before, he's turned into a complete sugar coated banana now. And Kyungsoo doesn't understand why. Not that he would complain though, but Jongin usually isn't like this. And that is suspicious.

The black haired sighs as he adjusts his tie a little. He is about to leave for a job interview, and his nervousness is shaking him. He needs this job badly. He takes one last look in the mirror before he grabs his jacket and bag to leave. He doesn't want to be late. Just as he takes a seat on the bus, his phone buzzez. It's Jongin.

Good luck for your job interview. You'll rock it! 🍀

Kyungsoo smiles silently, putting his phone away, trying to focus, but it's not as easy. Thanks to Jongin's text, his thoughts are drawn towards him and he can't remember what he wanted to say in that interview. He shakes his head in an attempt to clear his mind and takes a deep breath. He must stay concentrated.

Whether it is Jongin or higher powers to thank for his luck, but as Kyungsoo arrives at the building and leaves it an hour later again, his feet are carrying a light hearted man. His smile is one of relief and his stomach doesn't feel as heavy as it did before. His hands may still be shaking, but now it's rather because of adrenaline leaving his body than nervousness. A sigh leaves his lips as the sun shines in his face. Can it be any better than that?

He takes a look at his phone for the time and notices another received text. He opens it and a bright smile creeps on his lips.

I'll make sure to come over later so you can tell me everything. It might be late at night though...

And just like that, his day got even better. It has been around one and a half week since they last met up since Jongin is filming his new MV now, and having a cuddly movie night with his soulmate in sight makes his heart even lighter. As he takes the bus back, a thought strikes him, and high on his good mood, he decides to follow that thought spontaneously.

Shortly afterwards, he's facing a skyscraper and gulps heavily. Suddenly, his idea doesn't seem as great as it did in the beginning. Is it reasonable? Reporters might see him here, and they certainly would die to get a decent picture of him. But then again, he doubts that dumb reporters would be able to recognize him, they have seen him only in casual clothes and not in working clothes, plus he got his hair freshly cut yesterday for his interview. He swallows his doubts and finally manages to enter the building.

The insides are just as huge as the outside, but it isn't as glamorous as he thought it would be. It looks like a casual bureau building. He takes a look around but is helplessly lost, why are there so many rooms and corridors? He frowns and takes a guess.

Ten minutes later, he lost his orientation completely. Every corridor looks the same to him, how is one supposed to find their way in here!? He groans and turns around to may find his way back, when a door in front of him suddenly opens. A janitor comes out of the men's restroom, drying his hands with a paper towel. The black haired quickly approaches him and thanks to the janitor's friendliness, he's finally able to find the right room.
