Soulmate AU!
A disease possessed by only a few...
A mark bonding two souls together...
What will happen when a member of Stray Kids effected by the disease turns 18 and sees that his 'birth mark' has become tattoo-like and his doctor tells him that...
I was alone in the dorm at the moment. God knows where the others were. I was watching YouTube on my phone whilst laying on the sofa, but I was beginning to get bored. I didn't really have anything else to do though so I continued to watch videos. That was before I realised that I had Changbin's number on my phone. I don't know why but I felt comfortable talking to him about everything. It was probably because we have the same disease. I decided to text him.

He was here!? In Seoul!? I smiled to myself. Maybe we could meet up and talk? I'm not going to be busy for a while and I wanted to get to know him. I hoped that we would become close friends in the future. Well what's left of our future anyway. So I replied.

It took me about 10 minutes of thinking before I remembered about a cafe that I liked. And it was only a 15 minute walk from the dorms! I opened my phone back up and texted Changbin the address. I also told him that I'd meet him inside in about 15 minutes. Then I got up, grabbed a hoodie and a mask and put them on before walking out of the dorm, making sure to lock the door behind me. I put the hood over my head and adjusted the mask so that I couldn't be recognised and then I walked out of the building.
I got there late because I took the less crowded route. I saw Changbin at a table drinking coffee and I walked over and sat down. He was giving me a strange look and I realised I still had my mask on. I quickly pushed it down.
"Don't worry! It's me!"
"Ohhhhh, hi..." he said, rubbing the back of his head.
"So... you've never been to Korea?" I asked, starting the conversation.
"Well actually, I have. But I don't remember it. I was born here and lived here for a few years but my parents moved to London when I was 5. That's why I speak the language." Changbin smiled as he spoke.
"Ahhh, that makes sense. I was confused when you texted me that you had never been to Seoul before. Especially since you spoke to me in Korean" I said in response. He laughed a bit and then I told him that I was going to get a coffee and that I would be right back.
I eventually returned with my coffee and I sipped it whilst we spoke. But we avoided the topic of the disease we had although we occasionally did speak about it. I was glad. I didn't want to have to talk about something as depressing as that throughout a whole conversation. I would be dead in just under a months time anyway. And I knew that...so why talk about it all the time?
The doctor said that I would have to kiss my 'soulmate' for me to begin the healing process. Something about the chemical released when two people kiss and something about what similar people share...oh I don't know. But it's something along those lines. I only have under a month to find that person. There wasn't enough time but Changbin had kept telling me to not give up so I won't. The issue is that being in Stray Kids makes it that much harder to find that person because I am almost always busy apart from the occasional exceptions.
Me and Changbin have been talking for a while now. I had forgotten about my coffee and it had gone a little cold whereas he had finished his. We laughed at jokes or funny stories we had told and we listened to each other. He listened to me so well. I felt as if I had known him for years, but I haven't.
Just as I was about to speak again I heard tons of high pitched screams come from a very large group of girls that had just entered the cafe. Their phones were out and pointing directly at me. I shielded my face and groaned. I can't go anywhere anymore. Changbin was laughing before I noticed his expression change once he realised that photos were being taken of both him and me. It was my turn to laugh. I was expecting the fans to just leave after a while but then they all came running over, and they didn't look like they were going to stop.
"Abandon coffee!" I yelled and stood up when Changbin had grabbed my hand. He pulled me towards the door and I followed, quickly paying the cashier before running out the door with him.
"My apartment is only 5 minutes away! Let's go!" He lead the way, running through crowds and crossing in front of cars. The screaming fans were fast though, and were close behind us. Changbin quickly changed direction and kept doing so in attempt to lose them but a few of the girls were still pursuing us so we kept running.
Suddenly Changbin pulled me into a building and ran up the stairs almost causing me to trip. He unlocked a door and pulled me inside, locking the same door shut. We waited for a while to see if those girls were still following us, but after 10 minutes no one came. We were still breathing heavily from all the running. Thank god we lost them. But my poor coffee!
I let out a loud sigh and looked at him and that's when I realised how close we were standing. Our eyes met and neither of us moved. My hand was still in his as we stood there.
RING, RING
RING, RING
The sound made us snap out of the strange trance we had previously been in, and we quickly moved away from each other. He rubbed the back of his head and sat down on the sofa whilst I quickly picked up the call. I looked back over at him briefly until I heard shouting from the other end of the phone.
"FELIX WHERE ARE YOU!?" And then there was another voice.
