Living in a world where you and your soulmate have the same sleep schedules can turn some people nocturnal or it might not even affect some people. There are two different societies as far as the world is concerned, the night and the day. The two don’t really meet that often unless someone meets their soulmate, or someone is just very determined to live in their time zone, rather than living by their soulmate’s time zone. (Y/N) (L/N) happens to live in the U.S. and lives their life during the day, most of the time fighting to stay awake because their soulmate has the opposite sleep schedule as them. (Y/N) had a lot of practice living during the day, but some days it was harder for them to stay awake. Today happens to be one of those days.
“(Y/N), wake up!” (Y/N) heard. (Y/N) lifted their head and giving their best friend Alex one of their infamous glares. Alex raised his hands in surrender only to say, “What? You fell asleep in class again, and I was the only one brave enough to wake you up.” (Y/N) relaxed slightly hearing that, realizing what had happened. “It’s fine Alex, thanks for waking me up.” (Y/N) said as they packed up their school supplies and stood up. “Well, good thing school’s over for the day. You could go home and get some sleep if you want to.” Alex said with a smile. “Even though that sounds very tempting right now, I can’t. I have to work on projects for my other classes. Besides, nighttime is the time for sleeping, not the day.” (Y/N) answered. Alex looked at his friend, shaking his head, before saying, “You know you don’t have to keep with this schedule. You can still transfer to doing night classes so that you actually get sleep rather than going about like a zombie during the day.” (Y/N) shook their head and waved goodbye to Alex before turning down their street to head home. (Y/N) walked inside the house quietly and headed up to their room, being careful not to wake up their housemates. Once inside the room, (Y/N) pulled out the projects they were working on and got started. Before long, (Y/N) felt their eyelids feeling heavy, but they fought to keep them open. It worked for a few minutes, but soon (Y/N) felt themselves fall into a deep slumber. On the other side of the world, a young man sighed in relief as he too fell asleep at two in the morning, knowing he will only have a few hours of sleep before he had to wake up again for work.
(Y/N) woke up a few hours later, feeling a little more rested than before, but not much. (Y/N) cursed themselves for falling asleep during the day, and quickly went back to working on their projects. (Y/N) put on their headphones and turned on their favorite band, BTS, in order to stay awake. The next day, (Y/N) met up with Alex and noticed that he was acting very strange. “Okay, what’s going on Alex? You are acting weirder than normal.” (Y/N) said. “Okay, calm down. I happen to have gotten a couple of tickets to BTS’s next concert.” Alex answered. “One of those is for me, right.” (Y/N) said, looking at their best friend. “Of course! Why would I not get a ticket for my best friend?” Alex exclaimed. (Y/N) laughed and the two walked into their first class of the day.
A month had passed since Alex told (Y/N) about the tickets, and finally, it was the day of the concert. (Y/N) was in an especially good mood that day because for the past week they and their soulmate seemed to have the same sleeping schedule, so (Y/N) was able to get a full night’s sleep, something that does not happen very often. “You know (N/N), you seem to get a full night’s sleep every time BTS is in the states,” Alex commented that morning. “That’s just a coincidence Alex.” (Y/N) said. “Do you really believe that (Y/N)? I mean it makes sense. When they’re in Korea they have the opposite sleep schedule as us, and whenever they’re in the states they have the same. You only sleep a few hours almost every night, except for whenever BTS is in the states. So, it seems to make sense that one of them could be your soulmate.” Alex countered. “Well, then who do you presume my soulmate is since you seem to have it all figured out.” (Y/N) responded, still not believing their friend. “I’m thinking Yoongi. He seems to be tired most of the time, so you two have that in common.” Alex said smiling.
(Y/N) blushed at just the mere possibility of their bias being their soulmate. “I’m not that lucky.” (Y/N) finally responded. “You discredit yourself too much (Y/N). Just watch, tonight you might just very well be proved wrong.” Alex answered. (Y/N) shook their head as the two friends left their hotel room and headed to the location of the concert. During the entire concert, (Y/N) couldn’t take their eyes off of Yoongi, noting that he seemed to not be as tired as he seemed to be most of the time. (Y/N) felt hope blossom in their chest before they quickly shook it away, not wanting to be crushed when they find out it’s not true. After the concert, (Y/N) and Alex headed to an ice cream parlor not too far from the stadium. The two got their ice cream and sat at one of the tables near the back of the parlor, eating in silence when the door opened, ringing the bell attached to it. (Y/N) looked up from their ice cream and saw Yoongi and Jin walk into the parlor. (Y/N) quickly looked down, causing Alex to look at his friend before he looked behind him to see what had made (Y/N) act like that. Alex watched as Yoongi and Jin got their ice cream and started to walk in their direction. Alex turned around and chose not to say anything, seeing as (Y/N) didn’t notice the two men walking toward them.
(Y/N) just finished their ice cream, and stood up to throw away their trash, when they ran into someone. Upon the collision, (Y/N) felt a warmth spread throughout their body, and judging from the intake of breath from the person in front of them, they felt it as well. (Y/N) quickly stepped back and looked at who they had run into, freezing once they saw that it was Yoongi. Yoongi looked at the person who had run into them, before he said, “So you’re the one who likes to stay awake when I should be sleeping.” (Y/N) blushed and didn’t say anything, when Alex stepped in. “You’re right about that. (Y/N) is stubborn, so they decided they wanted to torture themselves instead of just giving in.” he said, sending a smirk (Y/N)’s way. Yoongi chuckled before taking a couple of steps to where he was standing directly in front of (Y/N). “Well, soon there might not be a need for us to have different sleeping schedules.” He said quietly looking at his blushing soulmate before pulling them into a hug.
