THE SOULMATE feature. It's the hot topic, literally almost every single day.
Hi, name's Saera. I'm a freshman in college. I'm your typical crackhead-behind-the-closet, except my closet's kind of empty with only a couple of My Little Pony t-shirts stuffed at the back of all the zillion stuffed animals from when I was eight. Enough said.
Well, you might be wondering- What the hell is a soulmate feature? To be honest, you came to the wrong person. I'm not at all interested in soulmates- unlike my friends. Well, maybe I am. But I tend to keep it lowkey- where was I.. oh yeah.. What I do know is that if you cross paths with your soulmate and are within a 10-metre radius with them, while listening to ANY song, they'll sing the lyrics to the song you're listening to and baam. Apparently from there you're supposed to fall in love with them.
I know. Total bogus.
This feature has been introduced to us ever since the popular myth that started back in.. what.. way back in the 1960's? It was pretty new, I don't know how the hell my parents did it, but they did.
Crazy, right? I thought so too.
Until I witnessed the reality.
I know, you're probably thinking, " Why the fuck am I even here listening to this dysfunctional punk talk in her fucking mind about something that sounds totally ridiculous? Get me out of here."
That's because it's true. In the year of 2020, the tables have turned and now you're able to find your soulmate literally anywhere in the world if you have your earphones plugged in while listening to any song. Don't believe me?
Listen to this. My mom has been dating my dad since her first year in college. My mom was listening to The Beatles on her music player. She was just living her life, doing homework after school. That's when she heard the kid studying beside her singing Dizzy Miss Lizzy. There was also a case in which a graduate from the dance club here found her boyfriend in the audience. She was practicing with her earphones on one day and then this kid from the tennis club knocked on the studio while singing some Katy Perry song.
She was so flustered. Well, I didn't see it for myself but it's a cliche example kids here use whenever they want to explain how the soulmate feature works.
Apart from that, i've seen it happen plenty of times during recess. Some kids even stage the whole 'singalong to the lyrics' thing to get with their crushes, but it isn't that easy. To really determine if they're your soulmate, you have to say their name and look them in the eye for a minute, while holding hands. Then a tattoo forms on your wrists at the same time. Sadly to those who staged it, no tattoos were found on their crush's wrists. Whoo, bummer.
Which leads back to me, your host for today, Jo Saera. I'm born to a family of four- me, my mom, my dad and my older sister, Haseul. Who has already found her soulmate, surprise, surprise. My dad is super strict about education, so ultimately, I don't really have time for this soulmate thing. Ironic how my parents met in college, but whatever.
But, it kind of pisses me off. I know I tend to pay no attention to this soulmate thing but i'm tired of being this nerd who just binge watches cringey romance movies or animes under her blanket as I squeal over every gesture done by the leads. I want to experience this 'love' thing.
So thank goodness Siyeon wanted to buy pens from the bookshop. I wouldn't have met you, brown. +
