the string instantly showed and they would see the string for a few minutes
but they would become true soulmates when they kissed
the couple could see the red string whenever they wanted to
you were different though
your string was a dark nearly black red
while everyones was a bright cherry red
though some might call it a gift
but you hated it with every fibre of your body
you could see the red strings if the two people were in your eyesight
but not only that you could cut them
you had the power to doom a meant to be couple into the deepest pits of desperation and loneliness
they usually broke to the point that they killed themselves
the power you had was terrifying
if you cut a person’s red string around their finger it would instantly kill them
you’ve never cut anyone’s strings nor do you ever want to
but there was a chance that you might had to in the future
your dark red string meant your soulmate
when you thought about that it broke a little bit of you
if your soulmate meets the both of you before 21
you had to cut at least one of the soulmate lines or all three of you will die
once choice, your soulmate’s other soulmate, you or all of you
in the end you were destroying someone’s will to live
and that it could be yours terrified you but the fact you might have to live with someone’s death was even more scary
but your parents were the only ones who knew and always said that you could never cut your string not for anyone
your little sister didn’t know, your parents didn’t want her to know
and you agreed she loved the idea of soulmates
you could never tell her that you hated it with a passion
you wanted to protect your little sister from the horrors of the world
she was full of life and love
but still everyday was hard to get up and to be honest you dreaded to meet your soulmate
you just wished you would never meet him and once you were 21 you were completely free
but those feelings completely changed when you saw him
there he was with a group of his friends at a park
you were reading on the swings
it was the first time you ever saw each other
there he was with his adorable smile and messed up hair with laughing with his friends
and everything in the universe felt right for that moment
you didn’t have to worry about the red strings or any of your other troubles
all you could feel was your heart beating so fast against your chest
and had an overwhelming rush of pure desire and affection
he felt it too the moment he met your eyes
daniel started to walk fast then started jog before sprinting towards you completely dismissing his friends
but you couldn’t move you were frozen
daniel reached you out of breath a little sweaty but with the biggest smile on his face
that completely melted your heart in milliseconds
“you’re my soulmate” he said affirmatively but sweetly like he had no single doubt you two were meant to be
and couldn’t even imagine that someone else was out there for him
before you could say anything he hugged you
and gosh you felt all the emptiness simply disappear the moment he did
his arms wrapped even tighter around you like he if he let you go you might just disappear
and there you were hugging him back savouring it all in
him, his scent, the feeling, the softness of his hoodie, the warmth. comfort and safety, the complete overwhelmingness of love from him
then you two finally broke apart
and reality came crashing down
your dark nearly black red soulmate string was showing
then you could see the confused frown of daniel
and your heart ached and you had the overwhelming urge to burst into tears
you wanted to believe it was all lie that it’d turn bright red if you met your soulmate
no fate wanted to curse you
rip every single bit of your heart, soul, spirit and mind to shreds
then you choked out “i’m so sorry”
as tears slipped out of your eyes no matter how much you wanted to stop them
daniel knew something was extremely wrong but he was perfect to you
he wrapped his arms around you making you feel instantly better
“it’s okay whatever this, you and me, we’re in this together, we’re soulmates and i promise i will be there for you for ” he paused slightly before breathing out
now a few years later just a couple of weeks before you turn 21
it was the day after daniel’s 21st birthday
you only had a couple of weeks left until you could spend your whole entire life happily together
after meeting you two spent the whole night talking and what would happen if he met his other soulmate
he finally convinced you that even if he met his other soulmate before 21
which was pretty unlikely since he said he would try to avoid crowds and bumping into anyone
that you wouldn’t have to cut their string if they never kissed
and he promised he would never be unfaithful to you
you believed him not only because he promised
but because you wanted to believe him so bad
you were desperate for his words to be true
and as years went on you slowly did believe him
not only that you fell head over heels in love with him
every single moment with him made you so ridiculously happy
he knew you inside out absolutely everything
and even then he loved you
you two only had one more obstacle to overcome and everything would be okay
his birthday passed now after yours
you two would in the clear
daniel and you could actually live life love it enjoy it to the fullest
and time wouldn’t go fast enough
today was the day your little sister visited
the first time she met daniel
you were super happy excited
two of the most important people in your life was meeting today
but unbeknownst to you she came to your apartment you live in with daniel just a bit too early
daniel opened the door as he heard the knocks
your little sister went right in then stopped in the living room
as daniel said to her casually “hey you must be y/n little sister”
she thought you opened the door but it wasn’t
your little sister said sweetly “yup i am you must be daniel, y/n’s soulmate”
they both turned around at the exact same time
and then it was like the universe stopped
every bit of them was screaming to go to each other
the burning passion of love, desire even lust
was completely overwhelming any thought any sort of logic
daniel couldn’t think or move he was completely frozen
his eyes fixated on the girl in front of him
your little sister felt every single sense tingling like she wanted-no-had to kiss him
his heart beating 10x more than his heart beated for you
he thought of you for a spilt of a second
and he hesitated his mind trying to fight control over his heart
guilt pierced through him before desire overcame him
but it didn’t matter what he felt or thought
your little sister ran to him
and daniel didn’t even need to think he instantly picked her up
she wrapped her legs around his waist
and her arms snaked around his neck
with all of her heart she kissed him
and without missing a beat daniel kissed her back with all the love and passion he could muster
both of them too absorbed into their world
to hear the click of a lock being unlocked by a key
and you with a smile on your face wearing daniel’s hoodie
the one you cried on the first time you two met
and there he was the love of your life
with your precious little sister that you loved and protected all your life
and that shattered your heart into a million pieces
desperation, sorrow, disbelief, anger, absolute pure sadness overwhelmed you
it felt like a million knives were continuously stabbing into your heart
your heart was screaming in pain
and the hot tears that were falling from your eyes were
but most of all for kang daniel
the supposed love of your life
the tears were running down your face non stop
but what broke absolutely all of you
your soul, your mind, your heart, your spirit
every single bit of you was completely, utterly, broken
by that one bright red string
around both of their fingers
the colour that was never meant to be yours to ever have
that string that could never be around your finger
you looked at your string
it was basically black now
as if it knew your life was nearly over
you let out a strangled sob
like it was from a tortured and enslaved animal
you didn’t see the shock in their faces, the guilt as they finally realised what they did
then the eyes you fell for so deeply
those gorgeous soft chocolatey brown eyes met yours
you could see it in his eyes
the guilt, the sadness, the pity and that he was so sorry
but you couldn’t see his love anymore that you always saw
when you looked into his eyes
and with that thought you whispered out the last words you thought you would ever say to the love of your life
“you couldn’t love me for forever”
then without even a second glance you sprinted out of there
there were voices somewhere in the background but you didn’t even register them
somehow you got to your car
with shaking hands you turned the engine on
and without knowing where you were going you started driving
tears were still streaming down your face
and you were screaming and screaming until your voice was raw
your whole body was shaking
you still hadn’t processed it at all
you didn’t even register that daniel was probably chasing after you
not a singly bit of you cared about anything
where you and daniel first met
the first time you felt love
where you actually thought you could live happily ever after
you hobbled towards the swings
and all of you wished you had never met him
even after all his empty promises, his lies, his utmost betrayal
you still were completely and utterly in love with him
he was in love with your little sister
your little sister deserved to live happily with the love of her life
tears kept on streaming down your face
while your heart kept on screaming
and your mind felt like it was splitting apart
your soul felt like it was being sucked away from you
and your spirit was broken, beyond repair
you had no reason to live anymore
then scissors just simply appeared in the hoodie pocket
and you grabbed them instantly
without even a second thought
they were small, silver scissors, and sharp as a knife
you could hear a car parking near you
the feeling of the first hug you received from daniel
his scent, the feeling of safety and comfort and the softness of this exact same hoodie
and the feeling of pure untainted love
then you heard his voice, you thought you were hallucinating
you heard him shout your name “Y/N!!!!”
your body fell instantly calm, you finally felt at peace
with a smile on your face and thinking you were at one point loved
you snipped the red string around your finger
daniel reached you before you fell off the swings and he whispered your name over and over again tears staining his cheeks
and with a few last words, you left your world with him
“i will love you for forever”
