Opposites attrack, everyone knows that. But what about the similar ones? Would they be soulmates for life or annoy each other to death?

'Renjun, mate, I literally missed you so much!' My friend happily hugged me. I hestated a bit then hugged him back. 'Believe or not I didn't.' The guy let me go and patted my back. 'I'm glad to see you didn't change.' 'Lucas, we literally met a month ago and texted every day.' 'And? Why is that means I cannot miss you?' he frowned. I shook my head. 'Nevermind. Where should we go?' 'The parking lot two block away?' 'Good idea.' Lucas locked down his motor then we started walking. I pulled my hoodie together more because of the cold. Seoul nights are no joke. 'Are you cold?' Lucas asked. 'A bit, but it's okay.' I shrugged my shoulders. 'By the way what's up with this hoodie? I last saw it on you 5 months ago. Did Xiaojun remember to give it back to you?' 'I've never gave it to Jun..?' I raised my eyebrows. 'Oh yes it was Ten, you two are the shorties. My bad, sorry.' Lucas shrugged with smirking. 'Xiaojun is like 3 cms (1 inch) taller, chill yourself down.' 'Sorry what did you say? I couldn't hear it 13 cms (5.12 inches) higher.' Lucas playfully put his hands behind his ears to hear me better. I elbowed his side. 'You're as idiot as tall.' A sigh came from my mouth. 'By the way yes, Chitt gave it back to me last week. All my other hoddies are in boxes due to the moving so I had to wear this. But it's not warm enough.' 'What about your fav black one?' I frowned. 'All my hoodies are black.' Lucas rolled his eyes. 'The plain black one you always wear.' 'I'm kinda surprised about how you know all my hoodies.' 'Better than knowing your underwears, isn't it? But don't change the topic.' My face darkened as I realized what hoodie was he talking about. 'It's not with me.' 'I noticed it, duh.' Lucas rolled his eyes. When I kept quiet he stopped to face me. 'Maybe I'm dumb but not this much. What are you up to, dude?' I sighed and continued walking. He followed me. 'Nothing I just gave the hoodie to one of my... roomates.' 'Donghyuck? He's not even at your size-' when I glared at him, Lucas cut himself short. 'Alright then. Your ex, Yoona?' 'Best friend.' I corrected him. 'Our friendship is much more stronger than our love ever was.' Lucas smiled. 'Honestly, Renjun, I'm surprised the amount of good people surrounding you. Whenever I dated a friend, our friendship was cut after the break up.' 'I'm surprised too. Only like 1 out of 10 enjoys my company when I meet new people.' Lucas hit my shoulder with a smile. 'You're not bad company, Junnie. Once people get to know you better, they'll realize how nice and caring you are inside.' Chae came to my mind, when she said she couldn’t imagine me being nice with somebody. Is it true what Lucas said? 'You're scaring me with your soft thoughts, Lu.' 'Me too. Guess we make each other's true selves showing.' Lucas laughed and I couldn’t do anything but agree by putting my arm around his shoulder. After a few minutes, we arrived to the parking lot. It was closed, but only for cars, so we could easily sneak into, avoiding the gate. We went to the second floor, the top of the building. There were only a few cars there. I walked to the barrier and leaned against it, admiring the nightscape. Tall buildings, neon lights, cars looking tiny from this height. This is the Seoul I like. Not the noisy, bright, crowded one. I looked to my side to see Lucas mesmerized too. 'Sometimes I can understand why do you like just walking all alone every night. The view is amazing.' I laughed. 'Maybe you should join instead of hanging out in bars. It's better for your health for sure.' Lucas puched my arm but laughed. After enjoying the view for a few minutes, Lucas spoke. 'About new people. You have new roomates, haven't you?' 'I live with Donghyuck, Yoona, Yoona's older brother and a new girl who just joined the gang.' Lucas kept quiet for a few seconds to understand what I said then started smirking. 'And who's this new girl?' 'Yang Cheeun. She was four times arrested and was born in 2000 too.' I answered frowning. 'Why is it important?' 'She's your hoodies's new owner, am I right?' 'She doesn't own anything, I just gave her my hoodie because she was cold.' Lucas continued smirking. 'And is she nice?' 'No.' I said without hesitating. Lucas' smile faded. 'Is she pretty?' 'Yes.' I said. When I realized how fast I answered, I opened my mouth to make up somehow but my friend's face was already plastered with a smile from ear to ear again. 'And why isn't she nice?' 'Would you consider someone as nice if they state they can't imagine you loving somebody?' I asked feeling my face heating up. But from anger not nervousness. 'What?' Lucas frowned. 'Chae said she can't imagine me love somebody or just being nice at all.' My voice was cold. Lucas wagged his head. 'She just doesn't know you enough.' I looked at him. 'Listen, I just answered your question why she isn't nice. I couldn't care less if she doesn't like me.' Lucas just stared at me for a few seconds then nodded.
