Do you believe in soulmate? Have you found yours or do you think you already found them?

People live in the world where they are born with these tattoos that indicate their soulmate's first words when they meet them. Some has an unhelpful 'hey' whilst the others have a very long essay-like written on their body parts in caps lock. Imagine those people who experience funny first meetings but memorable one. The tattoos will fade away slowly as they meet each other. However, there are some people who aren't born with these tattoos.

Ever since childhood, Jisung always wonders what on Earth do the words on his wrist supposed to mean and why are these on his wrist? Some of his friends also have some writings on different parts of their bodies and he always wants to know what is the purpose of these.

One day he asked his mom about these writings and she replied, "That is your soulmate tattoo."

He creases his forehead, still confused, "What does that mean? What is the purpose of these? I've been trying to wash them away but they never do." he pouts.

His mom chuckles due to the cuteness of his 10-year old son, "Well, son, we live in a world where we are born with these tattoos on any part of our bodies. These words are the first words of our soulmates when we first meet them." As if he understood, he just nods his head.

He glances at his wrist, then reads each word, "Is this seat available?" Although he doesn't understand, he manages to smile.

It's been 20 years and he still haven't found the owner of these words. Some of his friends have already found their soulmates. He pities himself as he can't stand seeing his friends being happy with their soulmates anymore. He wants to find his soulmate as well but he actually never found a way to find them.

"Happy birthday, Jisung-ah!" his friends greet him and he would just respond with a flat smile. He's always happy that many people greet him on his birthday, but today, he's not as happy as he would be before. He feels like there's something lacking. He's so desperate to find his soulmate. For god's sake, he's already 20 years old and still, he hasn't found his soulmate.

"How can I find my soulmate if I never tried?"

It's 8 o' clock in the evening and he decided to go to his favorite place when he was a child, the park. He sat on the nearest bench he sees and sighs. He contemplates about the things he had done in the past and about the things that he wants to do in the future, involving his soulmate.

Since he thought of his soulmate, he starts to feel nervous about the possible happenings when they finally meet. What if his soulmate doesn't like him? What if his soulmate rejects him as his soulmate? So many questions are now bugging his mind.

"Jisung, have you found your soulmate already?" one of his friends, Lucas, asked him one day. He sighs and shakes his head.

"Why do you bother to ask?"

"You're already 20 years old, Jisung. Chenle and I found our soulmates at the young age of 16 and 17."

Wow. His friends are lucky to find their soulmates at such young age. Now, he's more desperate to meet his. But what if they never meet? But it's impossible because he got a tattoo. He's lucky enough to have tattoo of his soulmate's first words because some people are born without these tattoos and they live their lives not having the chance to meet their soulmates. It's so sad to think about it.

"Hey guys, let's go to the Black Scoop, I want some coffee." another friend of him, Chenle, said, rubbing his stomach.

"We'll come with you if you treat us." Lucas jokingly said, grinning widely.

Chenle sighs, chuckling at his friend, "Fine. Let's go, let's go!"

As the three of them enter the coffee shop, Andy finds a table for the three of them whilst his two friends went to the counter to order.

Whilst he's waiting for his friends to finish ordering, he pulled out his cellphone from the pocket of his pants and played with it. He stopped and think about his soulmate again. When and where will he ever see him? Will they ever going to meet-

"Is this seat available?" Those words. Those words are so familiar.

He slowly lifts his head to look at the person who just talked to him. He's totally speechless. He just stared at the guy, unable to say something. He glanced at his wrist to see the tattoo slowly fading, then looked at the guy again. He couldn't speak, he just couldn't.

"Hey- oh, sorry." Chenle and Lucas are finally back, witnessing the scene.

"I'm sorry to bother you, I'll be going." his assumed soulmate flashed a smile before walking away.

Jisung, who is still lost in thought, asked by his friend, Chenle, "What was that all about? Who's that?"

Finally coming back to his senses, he looked at his friends who are now sitting across him. "Dude, that- that's my soulmate."

"Who?"

"I messed up. When I saw him, I couldn't speak. And now I discovered, he didn't have any soulmate tattoo, because of me. He must've felt bad for himself, thinking he doesn't have a soulmate." He's totally panicking while saying that. His brain is a mess right now.

"Calm down, calm down." Chenle told him while caressing his shoulder. He just sighed and looked around to his soulmate, but the latter is now nowhere to be found.

Today, he's at the park, sitting on a bench. He watched the children playing and laughing. He's smiling whilst looking at them, admiring how happy these children are. He envious them.

He continues to look around and suddenly stopped as he spotted a familiar face. It's him.

"Hey, uhm,"

The guy turned at him and creased his forehead. He walked towards him, "Hi. Wait, are you the one in the coffee shop?"

"Y-yes, I'm sorry. It's just that, I can't believe I finally found you."

His soulmate tilted his head to the side and smiled at him, confused, "What do you mean?"

He explains everything, stuttering at every two words, mind occupied with too many thoughts, panicking in front of his soulmate. The latter just giggles at him, "Hey, calm down. I get it now. So, that's why I was born without a single tattoo on any part of my body. I really thought I don't have a soulmate. Well, thanks to you."

"I'm sorry," he grinned widely, "I'm Jisung, by the way."

"I'm Mark. Nice to meet you, soulmate."

He chuckles, "Nice meeting you too, for the second time."
