Happy birthday to me huh?

(Wooyoung pov)

"Haha looser! I feel bad for whoever your soulmate is!" He laughed and kicked sand at my face. Today's my 10th birthday. At midnight I can communicate with my soulmate. I'm super excited to see who they are, but before that I have to deal with this.

Choi San. He's bullied me as far as I can remember, and I have no idea why. He has a band of kids that also pick on me, but not as bad as him. Mingi and Hongjoong are the nicer two, but San and Seonghwa are the real pains to handle. San picks up my bag and takes out my lunch. He opens it up and empties it out onto the floor, but picks up the money my mom gave me this morning. "Alright! Ice cream on me boys! Courtesy of this pathetic garbage here!" He laughed as he threw my bag as my stomach. I catch it luckily, but it knocks me off balance so I stumble back a bit. I can see a look of pity and maybe some sympathy in Hongjoongs eyes as he turns to walk away.

"What happened this time?" My only friend said as he came up to help me

"I dunno Yeo. I didn't even do anything wrong!" I sniff a bit

"That doesn't matter. As long as you're okay. Happy birthday by the way." Yeosang said

"Thanks. I at least get to see who my soulmate is! That's cool right?" I say as I get all my stuff into my bag

"Yeah I bet you're excited. Let's get you home now."

Yeosang has stuck beside me for a while now. Hes basically my only friend at this stage. He talks to his soulmate often, though they decided to both keep their identities secret. Apparently he's in Seoul though so he has a higher chance of meeting him.

"Thanks for helping me earlier and for walking me back. Do you wanna come in for some cake? We have plenty!" I say as I walk up to my door. My parents are quite wealthy so we have a rather big house. Yeosang lives down the street from me.

"I'm fine thanks for offering though! Text me later okay? Bye!" He said waving as I walk inside, greeted by one of our cleaners

"Happy birthday Wooyoung!" She said

"Thank you so much ms lim! Are my parents home?" I ask

"Sorry baby they aren't they're at work, and won't be back until tomorrow. But they left you something upstairs in your room! Go check it out!" She said as I ran up the stairs. As I get into my room I'm welcomed by a huge array of wrapped boxes and a cake on my desk. I walk over to the cake and it reads 'Happy birthday Woo!' in baby blue icing. I turn around and walk over to my bed and lie on it face first.

"Knock knock anyone in there?" A voice called from behind the door. I recognized it as Mr Kim, our chef, but I call him Jinnie. I run over and open the door revealing the tall man with a big smile on his face

"Jinnie!" I yell as I give him a hug

"Hey easy there buddy! Don't go ruining my perfect face heh." He said with a wink "Anyways I'm here to wish you a happy birthday! And the big one zero! You're so big now!" He said wiping fake tears away

"Thank you Jinnie. My parents aren't home today and I won't be eating anything, so you can go home." I say

"Thank you Woo. But please do eat something, there's food in the fridge from last night okay? Have a nice night. You have my number if you need me alright?" He said ruffling my hair

"Alright Jinnie. Thank you." And with that he walked away. I close my door again and jump onto my bed. I start crying. Why'd my parents work so much? And on my birthday? I know it's selfish but still. And then I fall asleep.
