DOUBTS ABOUT HERSELF
It was awkward for the newly bonded soulmates.
In his cozy but quiet apartment made the two's environment uncomfortable. After showing her around and letting her put her things away they now didn't have any idea on what to do.
They just sat on the couch letting their shoulder brush against each other while absent-mindedly paying attention to what was playing on the Tv.
The silence was consuming them both but they were too hesitant to say something. They didn't know where to start; like opening a puzzle, do you start with the corners or the center?
Should they dive in or keep it light? Would that even make a difference? They are bonded till death, secrets will be exposed eventually.
But even with knowing that Akina kept high guard; holding her secrets tight to her chest. Hiding them in the deep abyss of the sea in her heart.
Nevertheless, the quietness became too much for her and at the rise of her feet, she excused herself to the bathroom. Now, of course, her going to the bathroom was just an excuse; a 'get out of jail for free' card at that.

Finishing her mostly useless conversation in the apartment bathroom she took a few breaths telling herself conversation is not that hard.
As she walked out expecting for Jungwoo's attention to be focused on the Tv, but instead his head was lowered downwards; eyes trailing the book lines he was reading.
Her eyes tried to focus on the book; to see what it was but she didn't recognize it. Walking to the couch she kept her steps light hoping not to distract him.
The tv sound was now quieter, becoming background noise. And as she sat next to him -him not looking in her direction, completely immersed in his book- she focused on him like he was with the book.
His eyebrows were scrunched together slightly in anticipation as his raven hair was falling on his forehead effortlessly. She found herself lost in his dewy skin and warm eyes, she was lost at the aura that surrounded his body in a tight hug.
But instead of butterflies or pulling of the heart in attraction, her body constricted. Doubts were started to spill over the flood gates of her mind.
Those doubts were laced with insecurities of her own. What if I can't provide all he needs? What happens when my past catches up? Will he run away also?
As those thoughts swirled in her head, brainwashing her into pointless thoughts, Jungwoo's attention was now on her. His heart began pumping faster as her gaze was laying on him.
A surge of redness and confidence filled him, he liked it when she looked at him. But Jungwoo was worried, worried that Akina had no interest in him.
See, Jungwoo was always an optimist with the idea of soulmates. The romance and closeness to someone made his heart race.
When he first found out about soulmates, child Jungwoo was confused. He was a kid after all but once explained better by his mom he became excited about finding his soulmate.
Everywhere he looked he question if his soulmate was near, hoping they were. Every time his arm brushed someone else he wondered if that was the activation of the bond.
"He's such a hopeless romantic."
"Just like you, Dear."
Now of course those overwhelming thoughts subdued but he would be lying if the craving of having a soulmate completely left him. He now was just better at hiding it.
"Jungwoo?" Her delicate voice spoke out making him jump out of thought realizing the two have been staring at each other unknowingly for minutes.
His head cocked to the side voluntarily, puppy-like. Upon seeing the sweet sight, washing away her worries momentarily she smiled softly.
Their thoughts were the same at the moment -even though they were oblivious to it-, they were the beginning of each other's peace. The peace that both of them needed in the fast past life.
The awkwardness was no more instead they both felt warmth. All of the tension washing away without one word.
Because that's truly what the soulmate bond is. Finding comfort with someone on another level than with anyone else.
Love is strong.
