Sweet Heart (VAV ZiuxAce)

Morning To Night

Heejun never thought a lot about this soulmate stuff. He just assumed he'd find them when it was time, so he never thought to put in any effort to search for them instead. And it's not like they didn't write to each other, his soulmate wrote a lot, mostly reminders and such, but Heejun thought it was cute. Heejun just never really wanted to mess with fate, they'd find each other eventually, and he stood by that.

Of course, some of his friends thought differently, drawing or writing discreet things on themselves when they went out, watching for the same marking on someone else. But, they were still careful, since sometimes a boss could become angry, saying it was counterproductive and that they should be focused on work. So, Heejun usually only wrote on weekends, if at all.

But Geumhyuk? He wrote to his soulmate all the time, and there have been a few times where he had to hurry and wash it off before work. Geumhyuk just loves how romantic it feels, but sometimes Heejun wishes he would take a break, especially when it's late and they're awake rambling.

"Are you ever planning on going to bed?" Heejun asked, watching Geumhyuk scribble on his arm with a goofy smile.

"Yeah, I'll go in a minute" He giggled to himself and lifted his arm for Heejun to see, "They drew me a flower"

Heejun smiled softly, he was glad his friend was happy, "It's cute" Heejun paused to think, "Do you two talk everyday?"

Geumhyuk shook his head, "Sometimes we go for weeks not talking, but there's the occasional doodle somewhere" He quickly wrote something on his arm, then looked back up to Heejun, "How often do you write yours?"

Heejun shifted in his bed, "Rarely, I don't usually write, and they don't really seem to want to talk, it's just reminders and such"

"So, you probably could've met them multiple times, but you just haven't?" Geumhyuk was surprised at this, but he hasn't met his either, so who was he to talk.

"I'm not just gonna change my plans to try and meet a stranger" He sighed to himself, "Lately, it's just been times, no dates or places. And random quotes"

"Random quotes?" Geumhyuk was interested now.

"Yeah, like lines from movies or songs" He thought back to the time when lyrics from Fools by Troye Sivan showed up almost everyday.

"Funny lines or.. Romantic?" Geumhyuk smirked at Heejun, a look that made him chuckle lightly before replying.

"Mostly romantic, we are soulmates after all" Geumhyuk nodded with a smile.

"Looks like you're getting a message" He pointed to Heejun's arm, words starting to appear on his skin.

Heejun watched the words slowly appear, concentrating harder once he realized they were in English.

"You're my only sunshine... Stay with me all the time" He read it aloud, using it as a partial opportunity to practice his English.

"That's sweet, you should write back" Geumhyuk suggested, and Heejun was quick to shake his head.

"I'm fine, how would you even respond to that?" He could feel his face getting red, and he just hoped it wasn't that noticeable.

"At least draw a heart or something, don't leave them hanging" Geumhyuk insisted, handing him the pen he had been using, "Here, just a little heart"

Heejun reluctantly took the pen, and god was he nervous. He took a deep breath before letting the pen meet his arm, drawing a simple heart under the words. Geumhyuk clapped softly for him, causing him to smile at the drawing, and that smile only grew as two more hearts appeared on either side of his.

"They drew hearts back!" Heejun excitedly lifted his arm to show his friend, who cheered softly.

"That's great! You should do that more often!" Geumhyuk told him as he handed the pen back.

"It's just so in the moment, I never know what to do" He admitted, "I also get kinda shy"

"I could tell, but don't worry about it. You're soulmates, destined to be together" Geumhyuk stood up and stretched, "We should probably get some sleep, we're opening the sub shop tomorrow"

Heejun sighed "Oh yeah... Sleep well, I'll see you in the morning" He waved goodbye with a yawn.

"Goodnight, sleep well, see you in the morning" Geumhyuk waved back, leaving Heejun's room for the night.
