this takes place a few months before the time when the story started!

wonwoo took his stuff for swim class and sighed, it was his least favorite part of the week, who even liked being half naked in front of their classmates?

it was mandatory to take a sports class each semester, so he always chose chess because it was the calmest one, however, that time he couldn't get in, making his only option left swimming class because he for sure wasn't choosing football or basketball

as he entered his swim class, he saw some people changing their clothes and talking, that's why he made his way into the locker rooms so he could put on his swim shorts and take off his shirt without everyone seeing him

but there was a certain someone that made his heart race and freeze in his spot, kim mingyu who was just getting off his class, was half naked and talking with one of his friends

he gulped and tried to move but his body just couldn't, how could someone be so attractive? he didn't really like like mingyu, he just had a little crush because the taller was the nicest person he knew

however, he didn't do anything about it because he was afraid and just limited himself to tell his best friend minghao

he didn't realize he had been staring when mingyu's friend pushed him lightly while laughing making him fake a pained expression

wonwoo giggled and just as he was about to look away, mingyu faked a fall just to mess around with seungcheol and threw his stuff to the floor

"don't be such a baby, i didn't push you that hard" the older said while laughing and then walked over to a locker

wonwoo immediately reacted, he didn't know where he had gotten the courage from, but he approached mingyu "are you okay?" he asked softly

"yeah, don't worry i was just messing around with him" mingyu flashed him a smile showing his beautiful teeth

wonwoo blinked twice and just smiled awkwardly "uh, yeah you uh- you forgot to pick up your phone" he said and kneeled down to get it

but at the same time mingyu clumsily kneeled down and accidentally bumped into his head with his own

"i'm so s-" mingyu was about to apologize but tripped because of all the water on the floor and hit him lightly in the face

wonwoo covered his face quickly because partly, it hurt a bit, but something weird had happened, he felt a tingly sensation on his skin

he ran away in embarrassment "i shouldn't have done that, what was i thinking? now he'll think of me as a weirdo" he whispered to himself and ran to the restroom completely ignoring his swim class

he splashed his face with water which always made him feel better and then dried it, but the tingly sensation was still there "is a bruise forming? but, i barely even felt any pain when his hand landed on my face" he said and then looked at his face in the mirror

as soon as he saw himself, he screamed and fell to the floor, he had to be dreaming, there was no way he was seeing things right

he looked at his face in the mirror again and this time limited himself to yelp and touch the right part of his face, the mark was incredibly huge, it took place all over the right half of his face

he gulped and looked at himself in complete fear before thinking "at least i wasn't wearing my glasses because i was about to swim, or else the mark would've probably been finished incompletely" he sighed

"but no, this can't be happening, not mingyu- he, he's too much, way too perfect for me, what am i even supposed to do?" he asked himself out loud worriedly

minghao came out of nowhere "you talked to mingyu?" he asked excitedly but then froze when he saw wonwoo with a huge soulmate mark on his face

"did- did mingyu- what?" the younger managed to ask

wonwoo nodded feeling his eyes tear up, he wasn't sad, angry or happy, it was just too overwhelming, he had never imagined his little crush would be his soulmate

"hey wonwoo no no no, don't cry" minghao said sweetly and walked over to him quickly before hugging him

wonwoo sniffed "what am i going to do? he's way out of my league"

minghao hit his shoulder lightly "are you dumb?" he asked and then chuckled "i bet mingyu will be amazed when he knows how lucky he is to have jeon wonwoo as his soulmate" he said

wonwoo just started crying while covering his face "i look stupid with this huge mark all across my face" he said with a little pout as he whipped away his tears

"i'm not going to lie, his hands are freaking huge" he laughed "but it suits you so well, it's like a huge accessory, everyone will envy you, YOU FOUND YOUR SOULMATE WONWOO, why are you crying?" minghao comforted him

"it's just that-" he hiccuped "i'm so overwhelmed, i didn't wake up today being ready to find my soulmate, i know i'm lucky but it's just too-"

"i know wonnie, i know" minghao interrupted him and kept hugging him tightly "are you sure it's him though?" he asked

wonwoo nodded "i'm sure, he's the only person that has touched me today besides you, plus, i felt the mark forming when he touched me" he said

"you can feel the mark forming?" minghao asked incredulously "that's so cool" he said

"i guess" wonwoo said softly

"how did it even happen? didn't you say you would never approach him? or did he hit you? if he did, i don't care if he's your soulmate, i'll kick his 6'2 ass" minghao said seriously

after a few minutes of explaining minghao nodded "so, are you going to hide it from him?" he asked

"of course i am" wonwoo said, he had stopped crying but his face was still red

"i really think you should tell him, but if you're not ready then it's okay, how will you even hide such a big mark?" minghao asked

"easy, i'll just wear waterproof makeup everyday until time passes and then, when i stop using make up, he won't even remember our encounter" wonwoo explained

"i just realized you can make his mark anywhere you want now, and that's the cutest thing ever" minghao said imagining them together with a sweet smile, he had always been great at comforting people which made the other feel extremely safe

"yeah, i'll just try to stay as far as i can from him now" wonwoo said
