Junhui had never really believed in soulmates. Sure he saw people with them, but that didn't mean he believed in them. He had refused to believe in them ever since the incident with his parents.
Jun was only 6 when this happened, but the incident had left a huge scar on his life. And the cause of this big, yet invisible scar, was none other than soulmates.
That particular word did him no harm, but the idea of it had flawed his memory of the word. In fact, he loathed the idea of being tied down to someone, not being able to love freely. He wanted to choose who to fall in love with, not be forced to be with someone he never knew or met before.
He had watched his life fall apart, piece by piece until there was nothing left.
Not a single speck of proof, other than his memories.
"Jun! Hurry up please! You're gonna make us all late!"
The 19-year-old male was abruptly pulled out of his thoughts when his roommates and best friends, Wonwoo and Mingyu, barged into his room. The three had been best friends since high school freshmen years, and they had managed to stick through thick and thin.
"I'm not going. You guys go without me," Jun muttered, and Wonwoo frowned. This was unusual behaviour for the Chinese male. Usually, the older male was the one hyped up for parties and whatnots, but today was one of those down days.
"Hyung...what's wrong?" Wonwoo asks, his voice a lot softer. Junhui shakes his head. There was nothing specific bothering him, but the thought of his future was frustrating him. This was a common thought for him, but never had he ever acted like this in front of Wonwoo and Mingyu.
In fact, they didn't even know what happened 13 years ago. All they knew was that Junhui was Chinese and he came to Korea to study. They didn't know about his background, his parents, nothing, but he knew almost everything about them.
"It's nothing Wonwoo. You should go with Mingyu and enjoy the party. Just tell Jeonghan hyung I was feeling a little sick. I'll call him later to apologize," Junhui says and Wonwoo sighs and Mingyu leaves the room to check for the gift they were bringing to the party.
He knew that there was no fighting back when Junhui said something. Once the older had made up his mind, it was set and nothing was going to change it. At times that was a good thing, but moments like this made Wonwoo want to smack the life out of his hyung.
