POISONED YOUTH: TWISTED

CHAPTER 14

Five days had passed since the night Yeoreum and Haechan were forced to stay together because of the bond. Five days since she had woken up beside him, only to watch him leave without giving her the answer she wanted.

Now, another five days had passed.

For Yeoreum, it felt like she was finally getting used to the strange rhythm of having a soulmate she barely knew and somehow missed at the same time.

She closed her locker with a tired expression.

"See you again after five days, I guess."

The thought alone made her sigh.

But the sound of her locker closing didn't bother her nearly as much as the head suddenly appearing beside her.

"Sweet heavens, WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?!"

The boy laughed.

The deep vibration of his chest somehow made her feel strangely warm, but Yeoreum immediately pushed him away when he got too close.

She huffed, blowing a few strands of her bangs away from her face before glaring at the familiar boy.

"What do you want, Chanwoo?"

He placed a hand over his chest dramatically. "Oops. That's oppa for you."

Yeoreum groaned and threw her head back. "You're so annoying."

She turned her back to him, ready to leave.

Before she could take another step, Chanwoo caught her wrist. His eyes immediately fell on the small sun tattoo. Beneath it, the gray cursive name.

His brows lifted.

"You met your soulmate?"

The word made Yeoreum's expression change. She was slowly beginning to hate that word.

Her glare made Chanwoo raise a brow as he crossed his arms.

"Let me guess... soulmate things?"

Yeoreum clicked her tongue and tried to pull her wrist away.

Instead, Chanwoo pulled her back and twisted her arm just enough to get a better look at the name engraved beneath her tattoo.

A sly smile spread across his face.

"And you're so—"

"Shhh. Yeah, yeah. You'll be late."

Yeoreum quickly yanked her arm back. She raised her middle finger at him for a second before turning around and running down the hallway.

Chanwoo couldn't help but laugh. When his eyes returned to the name on her wrist, his smile slowly changed.

"Lee Donghyuck, huh?"
