“What do you want?” Half eyes closed as you answer the phone.
“Good morning to you too, lil sis”
“What do you want?” You repeated. Mind still loopy from waking up despite the time being 12 at noon.
“I need you to do me a favor. It’s kind of an emergency” Your brother, Seojun, said on the other line with a slight panic in his voice.
So here you are, rushing out of the house. Driving on the way to JYP Entertainment. Bringing the documents he was supposed to bring but forgot. Not to mention, wearing sweatpants with a matching hoodie and you didn’t even get to brush your teeth.
When you finally arrived, your brother didn’t even come down himself. Instead, he sent someone to escort you through security—because he was apparently too busy doing God knows what.
On any other day, you would’ve been thrilled to step foot inside one of the most iconic buildings in the K-pop industry. The glass walls, the energy, the buzz of creativity—normally, you'd be soaking it all in.
But not today.
Today, you were just the sibling in sweats, running errands with unbrushed teeth and a growing list of regrets.
The man guided you into the elevator without saying much, the silence filled only by the soft hum of the machinery. When the doors slid open on your floor, you followed him down a long, quiet hallway, the sound of your footsteps muffled by the polished floors.
Eventually, he stopped in front of a large door. Without a word, he stepped in first, scanning the room before pointing discreetly toward your brother. You offered him a small bow and whispered a quiet, “Thanks,” before stepping inside, trying to make yourself as invisible as possible.
It was a big studio and the place was packed. Cameras everywhere. Everyone was busy doing something.
Soejun saw you as you were walking towards him with an unamused face. His face lit up and continued to stride towards you, completely abandoning what he was doing. “You are such a lifesaver! Today’s shoot would be cancelled if I failed to submit these signed papers for the magazine”
“Well, you owe me. I sacrificed my sleep for this,” you said, shooting him a look that could kill.
And you definitely did. Being a healthcare worker is not for the faint of heart—especially when you're working night shifts that turn your life into a vampire’s. You clocked out at 6 a.m. with dreams of a glorious coma-level nap.
Instead, you were out here delivering forgotten documents like some sleep-deprived Uber Eats driver in sweatpants, hoodie, and a whole lot of resentment.
“I know. But some staff brought us food and drinks, you can have mine. Wait here.” Before you could even respond, Seojun already went to one of the tables in the corner where the foods are. While you remained awkwardly standing there, looking around the place.
As if on cue, a group of men entered from the other side of the room, which you assumed was their dressing room. Even though your brother has been their manager for 3 years, this is the first time you have seen them. Although you have listened to most of their songs and you know each one of them, you never really dedicated much time being their fan.
They stood in front of the extremely large white background at the center of the studio. Each one of their stylists busy arranging their outfits. A few make up artists doing touch ups.
As you scanned your eyes through 8 men, you locked eyes with one.
Then suddenly—your heart skipped a beat.
Not in the usual I'm awkward and tired way. This was sharp, immediate. Like your body knew something your brain hadn’t caught up to yet. A wave of shivers ran down your spine, spreading all the way to your fingertips.
And then, clear as day, a voice echoed in your head—soft but certain, repeating a single word over and over:
Soulmate.
It felt like the world had gone silent.
Just the two of you, standing still while everything else blurred into the background. The noise, the people, the chaos—it all disappeared. You stared at each other in awe, like you were seeing color for the first time.
Seconds passed.
Maybe minutes.
Time didn’t seem to matter.
And then—
“Hyung!”
The moment shattered as one of his members called out, snapping him out of the trance. He blinked, startled, eyes reluctantly breaking away from yours.
You barely had time to process it when a hand gently landed on your shoulder. You turned and looked up to see Seojun standing there, holding a plastic bag with a packed meal and a drink inside.
“Here you go. I better go. The shoot is starting and I don’t think you are allowed in here when we start”
You were still in shock and just stared at your brother, not completely registering what he just said.
“You okay?”
You blinked.
Grabbed the plastic bag in his hand. “Uh… yeah. Thanks. Bye”
You immediately made your way towards the door.
Looking back, to get one more glance. Only to lock eyes with him again with the look on his face as if he’s telling you not to leave. But this time, you were the first one to break eye contact and proceeded to walk out of the room.
As you were sitting in your car and staring blankly at the steering wheel, you whispered to yourself,
“Hwang Hyunjin is my soulmate”
── ⟢ ・⸝⸝
Back in your bed, you tossed and turned. You couldn’t go back to sleep. Not because it is still 2 in the afternoon but because you just found the person you are destined to be with.
Never in your life would you expect your soulmate to be one of the kpop idols your brother is working with. All the times you refused your brother when he asked you to go to a Stray kids concert just cause he had an extra ticket. In your defense, all of your time is spent on working at the hospital and at home, making most out of your rest days.
Suddenly, a series of questions came into your mind. What did he feel when he found out I was his soulmate? Was he disappointed? Excited?
Before you knew it, you were stressing out over something that you have been always looking forward to. Knowing that you need to calm down, you decided to just put on a movie and waited in the living room for Seojun to come home.
A few hours later, the door opened. You stood up almost immediately.
“Seojun! Can I ask you a question?”
“Woah, calm down. I literally just arrived and haven’t even taken off my shoes yet”
“Please”
“What is it? If you ask me again if I would accept a worm as my sister, I’m leaving” He said, as he took of his shoes and passed towards the living room and walked straight towards the kitchen with you following him behind.
“How did you know that Yuna was your soulmate?” He stopped and placed the glass of water he was holding and looked at you. He answered your question with one of his own.
“Did you meet your soulmate?”
“I - uh” You couldn’t formulate words and just let out an awkward chuckle.
“Who is it?” He asked with a hint of excitement in his voice.
He knew how badly you’d been waiting for this moment. How often you'd wondered what it would feel like to meet your soulmate—to really feel that connection, the one people wrote songs and stories about.
And he’d been waiting too, quietly. Because he wanted you to feel the way his soulmate made him feel: safe, understood, never alone. He knew he couldn’t always be there to look out for you. He wanted someone who could. Someone who'd be your constant when life got too loud.
“I met him today at the studio” You slowly said and looked up at him while he stared at you confused.
“Studio?” And then his eyes widened. “Was it the photographer?”
“What? No!” You say almost immediately. “Isn’t he like in his 40s?”
“Well yeah, but I heard he’s still single so…”
He paused and narrowed his eyes at you as if he just realized something. “Wait a minute. After the shoot, a certain Stray Kids member asked who was I talking earlier and I quote ‘the one wearing a gray hoodie,’ which was you, by the way. Is it him?”
“Hyunjin asked about me?” You were shocked, even though you would have done the same thing.
“So it is him. Why didn’t you say anything?” He asked. “You practically shooed me away because the shoot was about to start. Plus, what was I supposed to do? He was in the middle of something. It’s not like I can just drag him out of the room”
He didn’t say anything for a few minutes. Then he suddenly stood up and said,
“I’ll think of something”
“Huh? What do you mean?” You shout at him as he walked upstairs on his way to his room. “Yah!”
── ⟢ ・⸝⸝
Three days.
Three days have passed since you and Hyunjin met. Seojun has been giving you random updates about him. You didn’t ask for it, but you’re not complaining though. From the moment you wake up and just before you go to bed, all you could think about is him.
Walking through the door, you noticed a lot of unfamiliar shoes in the entryway of your home. You didn’t really think much of it because you were tired from work and it was now almost 8pm.
Yet you still cautiously made your way in and saw five pairs of eyes look at you.
Five pairs of eyes looked at you, but your eyes focused on one person only.
Your soulmate, Hyunjin.
“Hey y/n. I hope you don’t I mind invited the boys. Chan and I were working on the group’s schedule and danceracha wanted a chill night after their dance practice.” You did not know what to respond to that, so you just nodded.
The fact that Minho, Felix, Hyunjin, and Chan were in your living room shocked you. They were spread out in the living room, take out foods on the table and drinks in their hands.
Before anyone could say anything, you sprinted your way up to your room. Closed your door and leaned against it.
You couldn’t believe Hyunjin is here.
Is this my chance to finally talk to him? Or should I wait for him to talk to me first? He is probably tired from dance practice, right?
Your thoughts were cut short when you heard someone knocking the door. Probably Seojun.
“Seojun, wha-“
It wasn’t your brother. It was Hyunjin.
“Hi” He said, awkwardly scratching the back of his neck.
When Hyunjin saw you come in the house, he didn’t want to let you walk away again without talking to you. Seojun noticed and gave him the signal that he can go and meet you. But all of his confidence faded now that he is face to face with you.
“Uh.. I’m Hyunjin”
“I know.” I said it way too quickly. “Um I mean.. I know. I listen to your songs”
“Oh really? Thanks”
Both of us just stood there. Awkwardly. Until he finally took a deep breath.
“I’m sorry. This might be uncomfortable for you, but I couldn’t let the opportunity to finally talk to you go to waste. I have been waiting for you my whole life and when I saw you at the studio, I wanted to …” He stopped and asked, “You feel it too, right?”
You looked at him, confused. “What do you mean?”
“I just didn’t expect you to walk away when we met and I thought you didn’t want to be with me” He looked down at fiddled with his fingers. Itching to hold yours.
“That’s stupid” He immediately looked up at you. Obviously didn’t expect you to say that. But you continued.
“That’s stupid because I have also been waiting for you my whole life. You were in the middle of something and I just didn’t know what to do. I’m sorry if I made you feel that way.” He looked at you and just as he was about to say something, you continued again.
“I couldn’t stop thinking about you ever since that day. And please believe me when I say that I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with you.”
He tried his best to stop smiling, but failed. He was a blushing mess now.
Hyunjin took a step closer. All of his confidence coming back now. He slowly took your hand and his other hand cradled your cheek.
“Can I kiss you?” He asked.
You didn’t bother to answer. You just leaned in and pressed your lips together.
It was a quick one but it wasn’t enough.
So he kissed you again. This time, with more passion and need. Your lips were in perfect sync. Your hands rested on his chest, slightly pulling him closer to you through his shirt. While his hand found its way on your waist and his other hand was at the back of your neck. After a while, you needed air to breathe, so you pulled away but not without him chasing your lips.
Both of your cheeks were flushed and lips swollen from the kiss. You hid your face in his neck, hugging him. Hyunjin chuckled and pulled you closer to him, kissing the top of your head.
“I can’t wait, too”
You pulled away slightly to look up at him, “Hm?”
“I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you, too”
