According to recent studies on bonded couples, there are a significant increase in multiple bonds between one woman and more men.

One study of a University of Michigan, the current male: female statistics in the world population is 1: 4, but the ratio differs is different when the tester’s sexual preference is considered.
The unofficial ratio is 1: 6.

The University of Ohio has released alarming research, that in the last 100 years, there are a 73% decrease in births. This number show that unbonded couples have 69% difficulty to procreate.

According to the University of Texas there is a significant increase in infertility in men and women.

The researchers of the "SoulCompany" the only method to be able to re-establish the right relationship of the world gender and to have more possibility to procreate healthier children: is to take "UncoverBond" (UB), a tested and functional serum, which allows to discover your own legacy (s) without the need physical contact.

According to a global estimate carried out among all the countries of the world, the phenomenon of population’s decline will not cease. The safest and fastest way to bring the population back to a more equitable and stable level: is to accept and have a relationship only with your bond(s).
In the year 2000, after two years of meetings and research, the world leaders of each nation signed the first and only world document, drafting 10 unique laws to resolve the problem of the alarming data.

The "World People's Constitution" was signed and published on January 1, 2000.

<Every woman or man, within the time limit of thirty (30) years, is obliged to go to the first " SoulB " center in their area and receive the "UB" serum. Every year the serum is postponed, the civilian will have to pay a fine between 5,000 and 50,000 US dollars.>

Desiree Lai turns off the television after hearing the same news for the hundredth time.

For 20 years the world has noticed the population's fertility problems, and since then every woman, or man doesn’t  matter, doesn't seem to have any other topics to discuss.

The woman sighs, there are 4 years and a few months to her limit time to take the UB serum. She shivers only thought about that.
Why? Why did she have to give a stupid injection to find a man? A man she would be forced to spend the rest of her life with?

"Pff .." she snorts from her nose with a lour on his face.

In the past, before the advent of technology (or just a better transportation than a horse or a mule), people weren't forced to find their own legacy.
Or soul mate. A term not approved by the scientific community, but commonly used by every human being on the planet.

"How romantic." She thinks, rolling her eyes behind her head.

In that beautiful past, life was better, in Desiree's opinion. You could live without any social pressure of having to find, and procreate, with your bond.

"Not even we were farm animals!" the woman says angrily.

The problem with these stupid laws, was that they just saw the scientific and cynical side of what a bond was.
A bond does not necessarily turn into a relationship of love (or sex), it is simply the universe (or whatever the current theory of all these men in white coats says) pointing to the person with whom genetically, and "spiritually", you are more compatible.

"Bullshit!" Desiree snaps, while watching at the black screen television: "Tell those people who find themselves bonded to crazy murderers or rapists. Or those who hate Nutella!"

She got up from the sofa to go and prepare herself something to eat. The digital clock in the kitchen: 3.37 AM. 

"Oh well… Fuck." she whispers in front of the empty refrigerator.
She looks at her wrinkled, discolored suit on the light of the fridge. She does not want to dress something better to go and buy one of those ready food at the supermarket 24/24.

She shrugs with indifference and goes to the entry door. She leaves the house after dressing her precious gloves.

"Fuckin 'world!" she says angrily when she walks out of the apartment complex.
The first thing she notices outside the door, in a far too big advertisement:

<UB! DISCOVER ETERNAL LOVE ON YOUR SKIN!>

Note:
Hi,
I hope you can enjoy my story.
My mother language is not English (I guess, you can knowing) so I apologize if my writing has a lot of errors.
I have already written 13 chapters (in Italian) which I slowly translate into English.
Turning to my story:
it is set in our world, but there are significant differences. First of all, the presence of soulmates. You will discover the other differences as the story progresses.
The characters are BTS, but despite using their names, they don't reflect reality.
t's just a fantasy world and a story, that i write to get through this COVID situation.
If you find any grammatical or logical errors, please tell me. I will be happy to correct myself, in the hope of improving myself and my English.
Comments are daily bread.
Purple you.
Alessia.
