There is a myth in a country named Tomorrow. That by the age 20, one person of a pair gets a tattoo-like something's figure, which is basically a curse and the other person of that pair is able to remove it by their touch on that curse. The curse isn't a big deal itself, but causes problems at the night of full-moon. It aches so much that the bearer often faints by the pain.

This is why often the myth is not much of a big deal. Beomgyu and Yeonjun's couple is a big example. They both got curses, so they can't heal from it, but they're by side of each other in this painful times.

But, to Soobin, it is such a big deal.

He got his curse just 3 months before Beomgyu, and now he's actually hoping for a girl to come with healing power to cure him.

So he got into dates and stuffs, but nobody could. Even some girls insulted him for relying on myths like this. But, Soobin doesn't want to change the thought of finding the 'accurate' person.

Among the friend circle, just like mentioned, Beomgyu and Yeonjun got theirs, Soobin got and still single, Taehyun didn't get but found a girl whome he can heal. So, all of them were lovey-dovey except Soobin and HueningKai. Meaning, HueningKai hasn't yet turned to 20. Soon he'll be.

And when he finally had become 20, he checked his back, well, everyone in the friend circle checked but no curse was created.

"He must be like me." Taehyun said,"Hyuka, maybe either you find yours or the other will find you. Or if you want to stay with someone else, you know, depends on you."
"I'm well aware of this." Kai replied. "I might be waiting. Or just will date anyone else." His tone darkened.

Well, Kai didn't wish for a curse in the first place. He doesn't even believe that those curse have something to do with 'accurancy' just like Beomjun.

"Interesting." Soobin said.

Honestly, Soobin never ever has asked a guy friend to try to heal his curse, he thinks it would might cause problems, because he can't say it loud that he is bi, just like the immediate older and younger. Even at Taehyun's case, he never asked.

"So, will you date anyone?" Soobin asks.
"It's fine. Anyone. I've taken my lessons from Beomgyu and Yeonjun hyung. Maybe better if no curse."

*****

The night was just a day before full-moon.

Soobin was getting uncomfortable feelings suddenly.
"What's happening to me? Why it feels like my healer is so close to me?" He thought and tried to sleep. But couldn't. He messaged Kai then.

                                                                     - kai.
                                               - are you asleep?
                                                  sent 1:54 am

                                                               - kai-ah.
                                           - stop ignoring me.
                               - ik you're playing games.
                                                  sent 2:06 am

He waited again for 5 minutes and closed his phone, frustrated.

"Why did I think about him and only him at this time? What the hell is wrong with me?" Soobin thought as the discomfort increased.

Suddenly his phone rang. Kai was calling.

"Hyung, you alright? What's going on in this late night?" Kai sounded worried.
"Umm....how do I put it?" Soobin not so ready. "Suddenly..... remembered about you."

Then there was a huge silence.

"Kai-ah, sorry, I-"
"Sorry for what, hyung? Because I was thinking about you as well. Didn't know how it was both of us? Coincidental?" Kai laughed a bit. "Maybe I'm missing my partner in game."
"So you didn't mind? At all?" Soobin wanted to have an assurance.
"No! Well, I'm thinking, how about you come over to my house tomorrow afternoon? To play games?"

"Didn't Kai know about tomorrow's night?" Soobin thought. But at last Soobin answered,"Of course."

Soobin wanted to test something.

*****

At Kai's place.

They laughed so much together, they seemed even closer and seemed like Soobin forgot about that day's problem.  But he didn't really. So when he saw the sun almost set, he said,"That's it for today,Kai. Some other day." He patted other's shoulder and was about to leave the house and Kai said,
"Can you stay here for tonight? Let's cuddle maybe?"

Soobin was confused.
"Kai-ah, you may not know, but tonight's full-moon."
Kai looked down and said nothing.
"I'll stay." Soobin said finally. He had to test about his sudden feelings.

As the sun set, and the full-moon appeared, Soobin started sobbing continuously. He knew, his curse pain was severe than most other. He felt like beasts at these times.
"Uhh-h, ss-sorry, kai-ahh."
"You're the one in pain and you're being sorry? Tell me what I can do for you."

Soobin started growling and tried to think straightly, but-

"Will y-you trrry for onc-ce?"

Kai's face beamed as if he was waiting for this moment.

Soobin almost tore up his shirt and his back was then open. Kai saw, there was a big bunny-shaped curse which was radiating lights.

Kai put his own hands on Soobin's back and suddenly, the lights spread all over the room. Soobin almost screamed.

So, did Kai's healing worked against Soobin's curse?

After a while, Soobin's cries ended and Kai saw his back again. No curse was there.

"W-what happened?" Soobin asked confused. "The pain suddenly increased too much and then suddenly it vanished?"
"Seems like....the curse is vanished as well." Kai said above almost whisper.
"You know what I mean."

Kai and Soobin looked at each other, a fatass silence passed.

"Kai-ah....are you sad?" Soobin's voice saddened.
"No. Maybe it explains why I suddenly felt weird around you."
"What do you think about it?" Soobin asked. "Can we be an accurate couple?"
"About couple, I just don't want it to be accurate. I want it to be romantic. Hyung, if I said that the past few made me fall in love with you, would you believe it?"

Soobin was shocked. Because he felt this weirdness too.

So, those two lonelies ended up being an 'accurate' romantic couple.
