A sigh left Sunooβs lips as he leaned closer to the counter. He held out his wrist toward Jungwon and dragged his finger across the words imprinted on his skin, although Jungwon couldnβt see them. Jungwon narrowed his eyes in concentration, a frown pulling at the corners of his lips when he couldnβt see what his best friend was trying to show him.
He tilted his head to the side in uncertainty as he straightened his posture. βIβm sorry, Sun. I wish I could see it,β Jungwon shrugged.
Sunoo let out a heavy sigh as he rolled his sleeve back down his arm, a pout forming on his pink lips. βThis whole soulmate thing sucks,β he groaned, leaning forward as he folded his arms onto the counter in front of him, burying his head into them.
Jungwon just hummed in agreement, adjusting his apron before getting back to work behind the counter. βIsnβt it funny though?β He asked, earning nothing but silence from his friend.
βWhat kind of situation would you have to be in for those words to be the first thing your soulmate says to you?β Jungwon mused as he picked up a glass, pondering over the words Sunoo claimed to be written on his wrist.Β
The pink-haired male lifted his head from his hunched position, placing his chin onto his forearm. βI have no idea,β he replied, eyes lowered and bottom lip jutted out in disappointment.
Jungwon smirked. βLetβs hope youβre not getting caught doing anything illegal when you first meet your soulmate,β he quipped, shooting his best friend a sympathetic smile before reaching beside him to grab another empty glass. Sunoo let out a sound that sounded like something between a hum and a sigh, ignoring Jungwon and the heaviness that was beginning to settle in his chest.
A silence soon fell upon the pair as Jungwon continued to clean glasses, Sunoo sending him a glance every now and then. His eyes then fell onto a spot on Jungwonβs neck, where the male had mentioned his soulmate mark was. Sunoo leaned a little closer to get a better look, but just like all the other times, he was only met with Jungwonβs bare skin.
βI feel like I would feel so much more at ease if I was able to see everyone elseβs soulmate marks,β Sunoo explained as he sat straight, breaking the silence between them. βThat way I know Iβm not going crazy and that the words are actually there.β
Jungwon let out an amused scoff at his friend, placing the glass he was holding onto the counter before leaning backwards and crossing his arms over his chest. βI can assure you, Sunoo, my mark is there.β
Sunoo pursed his lips as he nodded slowly. βOkay.β
Jungwon just shook his head before gently patting the pink-haired boyβs shoulder, heading towards the back to complete another task, leaving Sunoo alone with his thoughts.
After he left, Sunoo began to sip on the strawberry milkshake Jungwon had made for him a few minutes prior, failing to notice his blazer beginning to slide off the unoccupied stool beside him. It was only at the last second he finally realized when he saw it slipping in the corner of his eye.
Before he could reach out and grab it, another pair of hands shot out, catching it just before it touched the floor.
Sunoo let out a small sigh of relief as he watched you handle his blazer with care, neatly folding it with a small smile on your face.
As soon as you turned to face him, your eyes instantly darted to his bright pink hair.
The male could only give you a look of confusion.Β
Sunoo watched as your eyes widened at his response, continuing to look at you with a puzzled expression, unable to determine why you were so surprised.
You had just said the three words etched on his wrist.
Sunoo felt his breath get caught in his throat as he stared back at you with the same astonishment, unsure of what to say in that moment. The two of you continued to gaze at each other for what felt like hours in complete silence, minds turning and hearts beating at a rapid pace.
It was only when you both began to feel a tingling sensation on your wrists did you finally move, scrunching and rolling your sleeves up in a rushed manner.Β
You both immediately froze when you saw the words inked on the otherβs wrist.
Sunoo gulped when you shifted closer to him after a few seconds, stretching out your arm to get a better look at your soulmate marks. His mouth fell slightly agape when he read the words that had just come out of his mouth, delicately written across your skin.
An overwhelming feeling washed over him as you met eyes, and he soon found himself unable to tear his gaze away from your face.
