He could have sworn someone had come by and told him a nice hello. Which he had returned but was then left without another word. Walking around he noticed the path he had seen he walk into. Following the path along the edge he looked around and noticed a girl. Similar to the one that had spoke to him. Taking the chance he walked over to her. "Um, hello." He says clearing his throat. "Did you by any chance come around and say hello to me?" Dropping his gaze slightly he looked up at her.

Eyes locked in some random place in the sky, wandering aimlessly, her mouth slightly open with daydreams fantasizing in her mind, which characterized an entirely distracted woman. A typical characteristic of that blonde woman after all. Lately she was trying to follow doctors’ orders that said she had to make more friends, talk to more people, even though she didn’t know them. And she did. But sometimes HaeByeol became so confused that forgot to continue the conversation, leaving it without intention.

And amidst the reverie, a voice brought her back to reality. Turning to the origin of the voice that broke the silence, HaeByeol found a young man with dark hair and beautiful features. “H-hello..” She said while her mind worked to try to remember him. She had seen him before, for sure, the model couldn’t forget someone’s face so easily, especially if they had seen a short time. But with his words, it was as if a sudden click popped into her mind. “O-oh!” The memory of that day had returned. Of course. How could she have forgotten? “M-Mr! Oh, um….h-how do you remember me?”

Red String of Fate

24) Our muses are destined for greatness

Some say heroes are born; others say they are made. Kyungsoo isn't exactly sure which is correct, because he is nothing but sloppy footwork and hesitant strikes while Jongin is all lithe limbs and graceful swings. Ten minutes into training, the taller male has already taken down five targets, and Kyungsoo is still trying to tie his shoelaces. To make matters worse, a digitally programmed target quickly shoots an arrow into the target piece of the smaller man's chest armour as soon as he stands up straight. Kyungsoo really doesn't know what he's doing here when the supervisor bellows his name and tells him to 'get the fuck out of the arena,' along with various other expletives that the boy doesn't even understand.

Looking at the scoreboards, Kyungsoo is the worst candidate in every category, and he's pretty sure he would be last even in breathing if it were a tested variable. This "point system" is supposed to motivate everyone to reach the top spot, but all it does for Kyungsoo is convince him that he's inferiour in every way. He's small, narrow-shouldered, soft-spoken, and not at all the able-bodied, excellent-in-every-manner Kim Jongin (who is, not surprisingly, the number one candidate in the program). In all honesty, Kyungsoo isn't sure why he's still here or why he's been chosen at all. If he were a supervisor, he'd definitely have himself kicked out as soon as he stepped foot into the building (and stumbled over air, bumped into the person in front of him, and accidentally started a fight).

At supper time, Kyungsoo decides not to eat, figuring that everyone above him on the scoreboard needs the nutrition more. Instead, he sits by one of the windows in the common area and leafs through a book he's read over a hundred times by now. The pale moonlight serves to be enough to allow the boy to read the familiar lines, knees pulled close to his chest and fingers delicately turning the pages. There's a faint rustling, barely audible to human ears, but Kyungsoo hears it, and he waits, watches. In the following seconds, Jongin shows up with a novel of his own, and he's, albeit just barely, noticeably surprised when he finds the smaller male already looking in his direction. Hey, Jongin says; Hello, Kyungsoo replies. The pleasantries don't last much longer than that, but the taller man motions as if to ask if he can sit in front of Kyungsoo, to which the pale-skinned boy nods in response.

This same situation occurs every other day; sometimes Jongin brings a snack to share with Kyungsoo. It's only after the seventh time that the number one candidate offers to help the other with his archery, since it seems to suit him the most. Kyungsoo tells him that he doesn't want to waste the taller male's time, but Jongin insists. They fade into silence after that, but Jongin continues to offer his assistance. Finally, after the eleventh sitting, the slighter boy accepts.

One month later, when Kyungsoo advances one spot in the archery category, he and Jongin celebrate with high-fives, a bag of Skittles, and quiet reading by the window.
