Suyeon
Opening my eyes I took a deep breath in, it was oddly comforting. The scent which lingered in the room was the one I had only witnessesd in my dreams. They used to be nightmares, but in that moment it I felt peace. As if it was the comfort of winter after a dry autumn. A cup of hot coffee in the coldness of winter. The ache in my heart still there, turning around the bed I felt a presence instinctively I screamed.
"WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK"
Renjun let out a huff stirring up from his deep slumber. A hand on his wound which I figured still hurt due to the painkillers wearing off by the day.
"RENJUN WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!"
My vocal cords hurt from the amount of voice I used screaming. It was confusing honestly. Out of all people I could've imagined waking up to, Renjun was the last person on earth. He took his time to adjust to the surrounding.
"Dunno"
His voice rough and scratchy almost sending chills down my spine. His aura definitely didn't match my blue comforter which he so comfortably wrapped in.
"STOP SHOUTING" jaemin exclaimed as he entered the room hearing the shouts.
"
both of you come downstairs we all need to talk"
"yeah sure we do"
Renjun gave me a quick glare before getting out of the bed. There was something about him, which was so painful. Everytime I looked at him, I wanted to cry. Not only with tears but with my soul.
Jeno sat Infront of me as jisung had carefully passed me a plate of freshly cooked pancakes in order to cheer me up. He was my best friend indeed.
"Explain"
My brother and I had long forgotten to communicate. We just shut each other out after mom passed away. He was my only family left yet somehow the only person who didn't even knew what I was going through.
"Suyeon, I won't make you understand me. The only truth you need to know is that after mom and dad left, I had to raise you. I did what I had to In order to protect you"
It always came down to that, whatever he was doing it was for me. It felt like a curse more than help. A feeling how I trapped him in some burden where he had to grow up at the age of 16. A story where he was the victim and I was the reason he was suffering.
"There were other ways too jeno, you didn't have to opt for a violent one"
It came out more shaky than I had imagined. He took a deep breath looking down. He wasn't a person who would do anything without a cause.
"I was sixteen, what'd you expect from me?"
He was right and I knew it bitting on my tongue I thought about his involvement in a gang. It was not something to be taken so lightly of.
"do you kill innocent people?"
I heard a chuckle come from my behind making me turn around. That same empty eyes, a riddle messing my head waiting to be solved. His smug face made me burn with anger.
"if they are like you..?"
Renjun leaned down my back touching his chest. His lips near my ear almost making me gasp at his touch.
"We do"
I turned my head to look at him, his face was carved like Greek gods but damn his attitude. Clutching at the fork in my hand hardly I almost let my intrusive thoughts win to poke his eyeballs out. Eyeing my white knuckles he hummed lightly.
"Knife would be a better option for murder slash suicide"
His deep voice running down my spine. It took me a minute to register his words.
"Huh? Excuse me?"
At the same time Haechan slid into the chair next to me giving us a teasing look. Renjun scoffed moving away towards the fridge to get water.
"I see the new couple chirping early morning"
His comment made me laugh at the audacity. Never would I ever settle for a rude guy who thinks he owns the whole world.
"ME AND HIM PFFT NO, only when the hell freezes"
Renjun rolled his eyes drinking his water at my comment.
"That would be an honor for you my little stardust"
Oh how his words were like gasoline to my burning anger. No matter how Gorgeous he was he obviously lack basic manners.
"Looks like your parents never gave you the love you wanted for you to grow up like that"
Ok that came out more harsh than expected. He probably didn't deserve that much of treatment. He raised his brow at me almost about to open his mouth. I was expecting something more harsher than what I had said.
"Stop fighting you are soulmates"
Haechan interfered before he could say anything sensing the tension between the us. His words seemed like a joke.
"i still have my bracelet-" i looked down at my wrist where no sign of bracelet was visible. Then it flashed all of the events of last night like a blur. I rolled my sleeve up to stare at my left wrist where my soulmate tattoo was supposed to be. It was a star, which was incomplete. If burned to my touch. Walking over to Renjun I pulled his right hand to look at his tattoo, it couldn't be.
The rest half was on his wrist.
We were each other's halves, we complete each other. What kind of twisted fate was even this.
With trembling eyes I looked up to him scanning his face for any sign of expression.
Anger Hate Denial Anthing.... I could swear I saw his eyes soften for a second before he pulled away from me.
"I'm out"
Renjun
Fate must be playing a really bad game for getting a soulmate right now was the worst thing. More than anything else she was Jeno's sister for god's sake. Something about her was so fragile, so innocent which made my soul hurt. Seeing her only felt like a crime, her eyes always filled with so many emotions that made it so hard for me to even read her. Her presence reminded me of stars when they loose their shine, supernovas when they burst with overwhelming emotions.
The cold autumn wind around her seemed warmer, the void in my chest felt less painful yet her being around felt like a burden. I couldn't drag her in my life which a mass mess I had created myself.
