I Do

Chapter Two - Miyeon

Soojin's heart raced in her chest as she cautiously approached the crash site, her steps measured and deliberate. The smoky tendrils reached towards the heavens, dancing with an ethereal grace that sent a shiver down her spine. Peering from behind the safety of a tree, her eyes widened in disbelief and awe.

There it stood—the spaceship she had seen on the news, its unearthly presence captivating her senses. Its sleek, otherworldly design spoke of a civilization far beyond her realm of understanding. Soojin felt a magnetic pull towards the unknown, her curiosity overpowering any remnants of fear.

As she continued to observe, her eyes widened further, for she spotted a figure emerging from the shadows. The woman, clad in a futuristic black dress, exuded an aura of elegance and mystery. Soojin's breath caught in her throat as she beheld the woman's distinctive features—a mesmerizing two-toned hairstyle, with white and black bangs framing her face, and symmetrical blue eyes adorned with six dots, lending her an otherworldly charm.

Struggling to contain her excitement, Soojin watched in awe as the woman held a captivating blue glowing orb—an artifact that emanated an otherworldly energy. The mere sight of it sent a surge of wonder coursing through Soojin's veins, underscoring the extraordinary nature of the encounter.

However, the woman's gaze pierced through the surroundings, as if sensing Soojin's presence. Acting swiftly, Soojin quickly hid herself, her heart pounding against her ribcage. Peering out again, she searched for any trace of the woman, but she seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Momentarily disoriented, Soojin attempted to survey her surroundings, her senses heightened by anticipation. Just as she turned around, a subtle crack echoed through the silence—her foot unintentionally snapping a twig. She froze, the hairs on the back of her neck standing on end.

Slowly, she turned her gaze, and her eyes met the piercing gaze of the woman. The air crackled with an electric energy as their eyes locked, bridging the divide between two worlds.

Soojin's heart pounded in her chest as the mysterious woman closed the distance between them. Step by step, the woman's graceful approach held an air of intrigue and otherworldly elegance. Soojin found herself stepping back, her back pressed against the cold wall as she observed the woman's every move.

As the woman drew near, her gaze fixed upon Soojin, her eyes scanning her face with a mix of curiosity and fascination. Soojin's voice quivered as she managed to utter, "C-Can you talk?"

In response, the woman remained silent, a gentle smile gracing her lips. Communication seemed to transcend spoken words, for she hailed from a world with a language unfamiliar to Soojin's ears. Undeterred, Soojin extended her hand, an offering of friendship, hoping to bridge the gap between their worlds.

To her surprise, the woman's hand met hers, accepting the gesture of camaraderie. But as their hands connected, a peculiar sensation coursed through Soojin's fingers, and she witnessed a transformation beyond her wildest imagination. The woman sneezed, and in an instant, her entire form shifted, morphing into a completely different person.

Soojin's eyes widened with astonishment as the woman's new form emerged before her. This time, she appeared smaller, her hair tied in a bun with two striking white streaks framing her face. The enigmatic woman looked at Soojin with a tranquil smile, as if reveling in the element of surprise.

Soojin couldn't help but be captivated by the woman's ever-changing nature. The beauty of their encounter transcended physical form, embracing the wonder of the unknown and the endless possibilities it held. The woman's shapeshifting abilities painted a vivid canvas of curiosity and excitement in Soojin's mind.

Soojin's home stood before them, a sanctuary filled with familiarity and comfort. Yet, as she reached for her keys, her realization that they were locked elicited a frustrated mutter from her lips. "Oh, fuck the keys."

However, before Soojin could attempt to unlock the door herself, she watched in astonishment as the woman effortlessly opened it with her psychic abilities. Soojin's eyes widened, her voice trembling with disbelief as she stuttered, "What? H-How?"

The woman met Soojin's gaze, her eyes holding a silent enigma that refused to be unraveled. The unspoken nature of her actions only deepened the mystery that surrounded her.

As Soojin entered her home, the woman followed, scanning her surroundings with an insatiable curiosity. The unfamiliar structures and artifacts intrigued her, as if each object whispered stories she yearned to unravel.

Exhaustion washed over Soojin, the events of the day weighing heavily upon her. She fell onto the couch, seeking a momentary respite. However, her rest was short-lived as the woman approached her, kneeling before her with a sense of gentle care. Placing her hands on Soojin's face, the woman's touch sent a chill through Soojin's veins.

Startled by the unexpected coldness, Soojin quickly sat up, her eyes wide with surprise. She stammered, "Y-Your hands... They're cold!"

Soojin's curiosity burned brightly as she questioned the woman's origins. She asked, "What are you? Like really? Where did you come from?" The woman remained silent, her enigmatic gaze fixed upon Soojin.

As the woman contemplated standing up, her eyes fell upon a piece of paper and a pen resting on the table. An idea sparked within her, and she quickly snatched them up, sketching a drawing of a planet. Above the illustration, she wrote the word "IDLE". Soojin looked up, her eyes searching the woman's face for confirmation.

The woman nodded in response, affirming Soojin's understanding. Idle, another planet, was her home. Soojin's mind raced with questions, eager to uncover the mysteries of this extraterrestrial encounter.

Curiosity still burning, Soojin questioned further. "Well, how come you can't talk?" she asked, hoping for an explanation.

The woman took the pen and paper, her writing flowing effortlessly as she replied, "I can only talk if I'm in my Soyeon form."

Confusion etched across Soojin's features as she inquired, "What is Soyeon form?"

In response, the woman swiftly wrote down a description of her five forms, each bearing unique characteristics and abilities:

• Minnie form: Physically stronger, adventurous, and possessing superhuman bravery.
• Miyeon form: Attractiveness that easily captivates others, psychic powers, and the ability to understand spoken language.
• Soyeon form: Superhuman intelligence and the ability to communicate in any language.
• Yuqi form: A mischievous and curious nature, foresight into the future, and an irresistibly cute appearance.
• Shuhua form: Emotional depth, dramatic expression, and the ability to evoke empathy and convey love.

Soojin's eyes widened as she absorbed the fascinating details of each form. The complexity and range of the woman's abilities painted a vivid picture of her multifaceted nature.

A smile tugged at the corners of Soojin's lips as she connected the dots. "So, since you opened the locked door with your psychic abilities, I'm gonna guess you're in your Miyeon form," she remarked, her voice filled with a mix of curiosity and understanding. The woman nodded, acknowledging Soojin's observation.

With a newfound sense of familiarity, Soojin continued, "Well, guess I'm gonna call you Miyeon if you take this form." The name solidified their connection, a bridge between worlds and a testament to their evolving bond.

Miyeon's eyes sparkled with appreciation, her silent acknowledgment reinforcing the resonance between them.
