"Well, at least now he knows you!"

Minho and Jeongin were both in the older's house, while the black-haired boy told him about his chat with Hyunjin.

"Hyung, you're not helping!" Jeongin complained, a couple of tears in his eyes. "I'm so sad, let's go eat something!"

Minho was about to say no, but Jeongin made his puppy eyes and five seconds later he found himself grabbing his keys and his wallet.

"Let's go, you bitch."

After a few hours of walking around, and barely 10 minutes eating, the two boys decided they could enjoy a norebang - "I want to sing trot!" Jeongin kept saying - so they headed to their nearest arcade, knowing there would be a karaoke for sure.

When they arrived, a very nice young lady told them they only had available a karaoke for four people, but Minho and Jeongin didn't mind singing with others. Minho was South Korea's number one insider after all.

They entered the empty cabin and sat down, looking for the songs they wanted to sing, and waited.

The wait wasn't that long though, and in a few minutes two young boys appeared. They looked really similar, and Minho wondered if they were brothers or something.

One of the boys was rather short, had blonde hair and was really good-looking, not even Minho could deny that. The second boy had brown hair, and Minho thought he looked really cute.

"So it's all of us now." Jeongin said. "I'm Yang Jeongin. I've found my soulmate, so there's no need on telling my birth date."

"I'm Han Sungwoon. I-" The blonde began saying, but was suddenly interrupted by the other boy.

"Wait. Yang Jeongin?" The brunette said, his eyes widening. "You're my best friend's soulmate!"

"What?"

"Hwang Hyunjin!"

Jeongin turned bright red, and Minho couldn't help but laugh at him.

"Hyunjin told me about you! You can't even imagine how awkward it was for me to talk with Minju! I barely know her, but I told Hyunjin I did because I'm a good friend!"

"Oh, so you're the friend Hyunjin told me about?"

"Oh, yes, I'm Han Jisung. And I've also found my soulmate." The brunette said. There was something on the way he said the last sentence that reminded Minho of when Jeongin lied about having found his soulmate, or his birthday being on the 7th of February.

"I'm Lee Minho." Minho simply said, staring at the Jisung guy. "25th of October, 1998."

In a matter of seconds, the boy turned around and ran away, leaving the rest of them shocked.

"What the f-?" Sungwoon said, but was interrupted by Minho.

"Did I do something wrong?"

"No, it's just that Jisung is dumb as fuck. He's not South Korea's number one insider, unlike me, so he feels kind of awkward around new people."

"Hold up. I'm South Korea's number one insider!" Minho complained.

"No way." Sungwoon replied, shaking his head. "It's me and only me~"

After five minutes of arguing on who was South Korea's number one insider, Sungwoon finally remembered his brother had just ran away.

"Wait here, I'll try to get in contact with Jisung." Sungwoon said.

Meanwhile, Jeongin stood there, his mind spinning around like crazy.

He had seen it.

He had seen that boy's mark.

It read 251019.

Jeongin wondered if he should tell Minho about it, or stay shut. That Jisung boy said he already had found his soulmate, after all.

Before he could even say anything, Sungwoon entered the cabin again.

"I guess I'll just head home." he said. "Sorry guys, it was nice meeting you though!"

And just like that he left.

It had been 20 minutes since the incident with the Jisung guy, but Minho didn't seem to want to let it go, and felt really guilty.

"Come on Minho-hyung! You didn't do anything! Can you stop? This is just stupid!" Jeongin complained. "Maybe he has a friend called Minho and when you introduced yourself he remembered they had met or something. I don't know. Or maybe he has a friend with your birthday on his wrist. I have no idea. But please it's not your fault, you dumbass."

But Minho still couldn't help but keep thinking about it. Rather than guilty, he felt curiosity. Why had the boy ran away, just like that?

Jeongin, sitting next to him, thought he had no choice. He raised his left hand and put it near Minho's head, his fingers moving strangely, and Minho, noticing it, moved away.

"What the fuck, Jeongin?" he said. "Were you trying... to erase my memory?"

"Yes! You can't seem to stop thinking about that thing and it's creeping me out!" he replied. "Besides, it's Minju's party soon. Shouldn't we head to her house?"

Minho, after a few minutes of thinking, decided that the incident with the Jisung boy wasn't that important, and just shrugged it off.

"Okay then. Let's go."
