SOULMATE | HYEWON | EDITING

four.

Chaewon widen her eyes as she groaned.

"Hyejoo, we have school tomorrow. Can't whatever you need to say wait until we're on the bus?"

"Wonnie please."

Chaewon sighed. She loved it when Hyejoo calls her that. "Okay, I'll be there in 10."

"Okay bye."

Chaewon hunged and fell back onto her bed. She really didn't want to go to the park and was confused as to why Hyejoo needed her there in the first place. 'Couldn't she have called Yerim?' Chaewon thought as she slowly dragged herself out of her bed.

Chaewon hated the dark. Her friends made fun of her because she sleeps with a damn night light. Thank god for street lights. She sprinted to the park not wanting to waist anytime. Her mother could be checking her room any minute now. Even though she could probably guess, Chaewon's dumb self left her window open.

Chaewon entered the park and spotted Hyejoo in a tree. She smiled and walked up to it. "Help me up?" Hyejoo smiled and grabbed her hand.

"Wanna tell me why you made me come here? You know I don't like the dark-" Hyejoo looked at the ground and lightly smiled. "I guess I...kinda missed you." Chaewon blushed. "Kinda? Ouch." Hyejoo looked at her. "N-no um..I mean, I missed you 100%!" Chaewon raised her eyebrows. "You're stuttering." Hyejoo looked at her cheeks. "You're blushing."

Chaewon covered her face. Hyejoo smiled and poked her cheeks. "Cutie." Chaewon whined "Stop~ You always treat me like a baby! I'm 16 you know!" Hyejoo rolled her eyes. "Yeah yeah, 16 and you STILL sleep with a night light!" Chaewon pouted and crossed her arms.

"Wonnie baby, don't be like that." Chaewon still pouted. "You always gotta come for my night light." Hyejoo laughed. "Well yeah, because it's just so you. Of course Park Chaewon owns a night light."

Son Hyejoo

Hyejoo softly grabbed her wrist and lifted up her sleeve. "It'll never fade will it?" Chaewon looked at it and smiled. "Nope. Guess Son Hyejoo loves me." Hyejoo smiled and lifted up she sleeve. "Yeah and uh...I guess Pan Loves me too. Whoever that is." Chaewon laughed. "I really want that to say Park Chaewon. That would make me feel really happy."

"It would?" Hyejoo asked. "Yeah." Hyejoo reached for her hand and held it. Chaewon rested her head on her shoulder. "Let's make you happy then."

It was the next day. Yerim sat with Yeojin on the bus and Hyejoo sat with Chaewon. Hyejoo couldn't stop thinking about the park.

" I don't know Lippie. It just felt like my hand was meant to hold hers or something." Jungeun rolled her eyes. "Maybe it's because your, gasp , SOULMATES." Hyejoo sighed. "No..That's not it."

"Listen Hyejoo, Lip and I started out excalty like you and Chaewon." Hyejoo looked up in fear. "If Chaewon and I end up as soulmates....we aren't going to be all gross and lovey dovey as you two right?" Jungeun smacked her "Ha ha very funny."

"I'm just saying. The words P A N are found in Chaewon's full name."

"What has you all confused?" Chaewon asked her raven haired friend. "Huh? Oh nothing. Just...thinking." "Wow you love to think don't you?" Hyejoo laughed. "Wonnie? When did you begin to think we're soulmates?" Chaewon looked at her raven haired friend. "When I met you, I just always had a feeling. Something inside of me was telling me that we were. I never got that a feeling like that again. Not with anybody else." Hyejoo bit her lip. When they met? She's known for that long? How come she didn't feel any sparks?
