He trying to get a hold of you both from calling and through your thoughts. It felt him just plain worried about you. He could feel your worries and how you being hold up with your emotions. 

He felt restless.

After that post everything began to escalate. It wasn't necessary for some fans to be raddled over.

He left in his room pacing. It made him feel at fault for the situation. He hope you didn't get flack from the fans. 

In honesty he didn't no if he should make a post focusing of her, it might increase damage to the growing flame.

He tried to act normal throughout the day, confiding with Jeonghan and Joshua in what he should do. Both were in Seungcheol's room to talk.

What Seungcheol didn't know some members took notice.

Wonwoo was quick to act on it, when fans were still commenting on the hype post. They crafted a thread with similar negative themes about S.Coups soulmate. Whether they found out or assumed, it was getting out of control from how it was spreading. He logged in and typed,

"Mean comments are not tolerated here 🙂"

Responses started to flood in cheering for him

"Wonwoo, the man of the hour! We don't own them!!"

"Just fake carat stans, don't need them. Whatever the case about the soulmate incident, we can't excuse their behavior. How upsetting that this happens."

"Regardless those people need to remember they all have their own lives. Girls thinking like this is sad, what would happen if the other members found their soulmates. Y'all need to grow up!!"

Others began to cheer on Wonwoo's statement.

It became notice by Seungcheol once the three came of the room. Seungcheol was quick to walk to Wonwoo's direction as he was chilling on the couch.

"Did you-" with shock in his eyes as he tried to ask. 

"I'm sorry Hyung, I know it isn't my business. I hoped I could help cool this down." As he said in sincerity. 

"I-" He was cut off by a ring as he looked down it was Y/N.

He didn't know what to think, it was the first time from six days that you were going to talk to him. 

"Hyung, don't wait talk to her. I'll accept some form of punishment if you're upset." Just as he walked away from Seungcheol.

Seungcheol picked up the call and headed to his room. Everyone could only stare what was going on behind the door. But Jeonghan and Joshua dragged most of everyone away for the privacy of Seungcheol.

-----------------------------------------------

"Hey, Seungcheol.. How are you? It's been a while," as she talked into the receiver.

"Yeah.. I'm alright how are you, I haven't heard from you for a while." As he asked in question.

He couldn't help but ask, but so glad you had been willing to call him. 

"I-i'm sorry, yeah.. I wasn't feeling like myself you know I didn't want to bother you," as she softly said

"Why?" 

"Aren't you tired of this, or of me? I don't seem redeemable to be with you" as he heard you let out. She was opening up to him about her concerns. He felt slightly happy.

"Don't I bother you? Why do you go far for me?" as she finishes saying.

"Because I feel your worries, not acting as an obligation, but out of love for you. Why do you push yourself at what cost --to what extent? Is it worth it, I think you're worth more than you think. I learned so much about you and I'm excited to know more. You to me are loved and beloved. I hope you know that. Because nothing can replace your own existence. You shine bright whenever I hear you sing. When we talk together I could hear how carefree as you talk about your day and how F/N had done something to make you laugh. And when carelessly leak your thoughts, you think about random things you see in your surrounding and how you sincerely think about the people around you. For the times we've talked together I cherish them, because to be able to meet you. You put my mind at ease that I am able to confide and share with you. If you want to complain about your day, I'll carefully listen. If you want to cry, I'll be there to comfort you. If you just want to talk I would happily oblige. Don't close off. That's all I ask. Regardless of what you decide." He couldn't help but paused,

"Because you are priceless to me. I would go far, because I want to and if you want to hear my answer I'm in love with you." He continues on,

"You're doing well so far and you're here. I'm thankful. Even if you don't or are not certain of your own future. Don't rush, take your time. Just know I'm here for you."

-----------------------------------

It felt you speechless on the line. F/N recommended that you had talk to him just as she had left after your talk. 

You knew how genuine he was. It felt right just talking to him. What were you so scared of before? Was it because of your own flaws, your whole demeanor that you were scared he might not like. To like a complete mess.

Yes..

He seemed genuine and you couldn't help but listen to his words. 

You couldn't help but add,

"I'm scared of our relationship, I'm not confident in myself.."

"I'll wait for you."

It sent you comfort that night. 

And it filled you whole to the rest of your days. 

You couldn't help it. It was a year already and you're still on friendly terms with Seungcheol. 

Gradually began to become true friends seungcheol would casually flirt and you would be hooked and caught by his charm. 

You would have calls with each other whether using the phone or your soul marks to talk. He would find a way to make you embarrass every time he had the chance, he was quite a flirt mind you, and you didn't know what to do with yourself. You would constantly close your device completely whenever he made a compliment on how you look. He would find a way to comment how you mean you would hang up the call through the soul mark. You could hear how pouty he was to you. ANd you couldn't help it, it was constantly happening. You were not used to it.
