Can't Hear Your Soul - JongSang

Chapter 1: 8%

"Right now the love of your life is searching for you, without knowing your name, but already knowing your heart." - Mark Anthony

What would you do if you could read minds?

A question that could be answered in a million ways. Many people get excited with just the idea of having it, others think in ways they could use it to their advantage to control those who are close to them. Although it sounds amazing to have this superpower, it's a different story to Kang Yeosang, a guy that wished he had never even gotten it in the first place.

Only a small part of the population has this ability, so small that there's no way to determine the exact number of people who have it at all. The truth is that they live like any other ordinary person and they limit this information so that normal people don't find out about it. It's not even difficult hiding it, it's not something that you can see at first glance and you can act normal in public. But, why do this? It's simply because people will either look at you as if your crazy o they will be more cautious around you making mind-reading less effective and ruin potential relationships.

Unfortunately, there are many things that we've yet to know about this condition. We only know that anybody at any age or ethnicity can develop this as long as an ancestor has had this in the past - like Yeosang's father for example. Nor we know how this originates since there have been many stories going around each one explaining different things in their versions. Yet, one thing is for sure, you will most likely find one person whose mind you can't read at all. Someone you will be able to trust whole-heartily, someone who will understand you completely, someone you're destined to be with...someone who is your soulmate.

>>Soulmates, my ass<<, thought Yeosang while he was doing some homework his philosophy teacher gave him last week yet decided to do it today with the due date being for tomorrow.

Procrastination at its best he might as well say, it was about analyzing different stories about Greek Gods, one of them being about Zeus splitting androgynous humans (they're humans with male and female genitalia with four arms, four legs, and two faces) and Apollo sewing them up making two separate humans that represent different souls that long for each other destined to be together in all their lifetimes.

In other words, soulmates. He hated the idea of his genes being the deciding factor for his potential "soulmate" as everybody else would call it. It's not like it affects his everyday life, still, he didn't believe these stupidities that his father, uncle and even his cousin Wooyoung would constantly tell him.

>>How do I fucking explain this in the least insulting way I can?<< He was kind of pissed that he was reminded of his power that he calls a curse.

>>And you're being negative as always, remember that I can even hear you in your dreams<<

Of course, his cousin had to arrive just in time to give him another lecture about the importance of being patient and stop his bitter views on everything for once in his life. Them being part of the same generation means that they can read each other's minds at the same time, making it very convenient to be arguing and fighting about everything anytime as long they are meters close to one another.

>>Don't even try me, it's not my fault that I don't have a perfect boyfriend as yours and that even school is forcing me to write my opinion about things I hate to think about<<, words filled with sarcasm upon mentioning Woo's boyfriend.

To be frank, he hasn't met the guy in person, he only remembers that his name had something to do with mountains or hills along those lines. But he had to give it to him if someone can make his cousin happy with just his name being mentioned, he deserved a round of applause.
