All she saw was flowers around her. Or to be more exact, tulips.

Bright yellow tulips, as she stood in the middle with her flowing white dress and a straw hat adorned on her head.

Looking up at the clear blue sky, she used her hand as a form of shielding her eyes from the bright sun that shone on her.

Inhaling in the fresh air, she smiled softly in peace until she heard a sound.

The sound of a shutter from a camera.

"Wait...my soulmate..."

Turning around in haste, it felt like time stopped between the two as she looked ahead of her.

Wind blowing, letting her silver hair flow and her white dress flying softly. Even her straw hat ended up flying away to somewhere foreign to her knowledge, but she did not care about it as all she acknowledged was the person in front of her.

Holding a vintage camera, it felt like something out of a romcom as the two shared gazes.

Clutching her hand close to her chest, she exhaled in realization of who the camera on her mark represented. And everything finally felt clear to her, as she parted her lips and widened her eyes after figuring everything out.

But she was still hesitant, what if her hunch was wrong?

"Hey, are you okay?"

Snapping out of her thoughts, she looked up to see the familiar smile on his lips.

"Y-yeah I'm fine", she stuttered.

"You look beautiful", he whispered for only the two to hear.

"Beautiful to the point you had to secretly snap a photo?", she giggled.

"Yes, because true beauty always remain secret"

~~~

And that's when she rose from her bed, panting heavily.

"It was just a dream...", Yeonri whispered to herself. "It felt so real though..."

"Is that how soulmate dreams work then?"

Rubbing her face with her hands a bit too forcefully, she lightly tapped her cheeks trying to wake up properly. But the dream still remained in her head, as she thought of the person.

"His face was blurred...but he sounded familiar. Ahh", Yeonri groaned in frustration. "Who could it be?"

"Is it really going to happen in the future?", Yeonri remembered when her parents explained to her on how soulmate dreams work, and that they are just visions of the future.

Whether it's from a few minutes away, or maybe three months in advance, soulmate dreams are never wrong. And they always accurately prove the future.

Clutching the exact spot she did in her dream, she felt her heart beating rapidly against her ribcage. It felt like her cheeks burned the more she thought about the dream.

"Is this what it feels like to be in love?", Yeonri questioned herself. "I don't even know who he is yet I feel like this? What the fuck is this soulmate shit on about"

Sighing, she just fell and hit back on her bed looking straight up at the ceiling. Brows furrowed, it felt weird considering she was able to remember the dream so clearly in every detail.

Yeonri huffed. "I don't even have a white dress"

True beauty always remain secret

"True...beauty?", She thought out loud.

"Ah, whatever", Yeonri grabbed the phone from her desk and looked at the time.

"9am...? I don't even have class until 2pm!", Yeonri complained.

"And I don't wanna fall back asleep again...", she mumbled.

"Whatever, guess I'll binge on anime then"
