"Wake up." A soft, low voice says and I feel my body being shaken slightly. As my eyes slowly flutter open, my lips curve into a smile when I see Soulmate looking down at me with a warm smile, his dimples in display as his eyes crease into crescents.

"What time is it?" I ask staring up at him, my hands softly playing with the grass underneath my fingertips, making no attempt to move.

"I don't know." He says standing up straight and offering his hand, which I gladly take sitting up. "But you're going to be late if you don't wake up right now." He adds and my eyes widen.

This time my eyes snap open and my hands desperately feel around the bed looking for my phone, only to see that my alarm didn't go off.

Why didn't it go off?

My fingers press the bridge of my nose as I see the missed call from Rose, a message saying that she's on her way, and without a second thought I bolt out of bed and rush to get my morning routine started.

Few.

Glancing at the phone, I realize that I just completed my tasks in record time. I don't think I've ever moved this fast in my life.

With a deep breath to steady my heartbeat, I grab my things and head for the door just as Rose pulls up in the parking lot.

Rose opens the door and steps out of the car, looking at me over the roof with a smile. "You ready to go?" She asks and I nod, smiling when Hoseok offers to take my luggage and put it in the trunk.

"Thank you Hoseok." I say putting a strand of hair behind my ear, and said guy flashes his famous heart shaped smile.

The ride to the airport is not quiet like our usual rides, with Hoseok and Rose blasting music and signing loudly, laughing without a care in the world.

I wonder if this is what it will be like between Soulmate and I?

Hoseok somehow manages to bring out the best in Rose and they both suit each other well, so I hope everything will work out for us.

As excited as I am, there is still a small voice inside my head that whispers, Why am I doing this again?

But after recalling our meetings in our dreams, my heart pumps harder and says, you can do this...

And so I choose to listen to that voice and confidently step out of the car, following Rose and Hoseok.

The last time I was at the airport it was to receive Hoseok, but now that it's my turn to board a plane, the airport air somehow feels different....fresher.
