length: 1.8k
a/n: so lol i am basing this off me at kcon australia bc i was pretty lucky to get a hi touch with them and then i thought omg this can be a soulmate au idea so here it is!! i wrote this a while ago and it was in my drafts hope you guys like it!!
y/n y/l/n: your first name and your last name
so soulmates huh
how the soulmate system worked was that when you reached 15
the name of your soulmate would appear as a tattoo on your arm
and when the two of you met
it would be a moment where you both just knew you had found each other
and then the tattoo would disappear
when you were young you were never one for fairytales or believed in a prince charming
but it was only when your older sister found her soulmate that you began to be excited too
your sister had found her soulmate the day she turned 15
bc her soulmate was the guy she had been crushing on at school and he had been crushing on her too
the rule was that soulmates could get together only when they were both 15
if the rule was broken then the two people were not allowed to be together
so the boy knew your sister was his soulmate but he kept it a secret for a few months and surprised your sister on valentines day which was her birthday
and you found their love story so romantic
that you couldn’t help but anticipate meeting and finding out who your soulmate was
maybe it was your crush? or the cute senior that got on and off at the same bus stop as you?
needless to say you were excited
and even started a countdown on your calendar for the day you would turn 15
and when you did
the strangest name appeared on your arm
kang euigeon
……
did i mention that you live in australia and not korea lol
so wtf a foreign name had appeared on your arm and you were panicking
you could barely pronounce that name properly
yes you were korean but most of the people around you weren’t
and the koreans you knew all had english names so
at first you thought oh it’s probably someone’s korean name
so you asked every single korean guy in your school there were only a few for their korean names
and it was embarrassing because some you’d never talked to and when you explained to them why you were asking they thought you were even weirder
you even messaged random koreans that went to primary school with you and asked your parents to ask their friends if they knew a kang euigeon
and ofc they didn’t
bc it was such a strange name
and as time went by everyone could see you become discouraged about the whole soulmate thing bc before you used to be the one to talk about it the most
and you would tell the story of how your sister met her soulmate to everyone you met in the hopes that your story would be just as romantic
most of your friends also found their soulmates and they had normal names like “mark tuan” or “jackson wang”
you started to really think maybe you were destined to be alone or that your soulmate was someone living in the countryside of korea that you’d probably never meet
your friends encouraged you that your soulmate would surely come along one day and that it would be like magic but honestly you weren’t convinced at all
and like that five years went by and you were 20
meanwhile in korea a trainee named kang daniel glanced at his arm with the name y/n y/l/n imprinted
he liked the fact that your name was unique and not a typical korean name
he liked the idea that his soulmate was a korean possibly living in a foreign country
he couldn’t wait to meet her and learn about the culture there and learn even more english
growing up daniel always had a dream and that was to stand on stage and now he was about to enter the auditions for produce 101 with the mmo boys
with that same dream, he thought it would help in finding his soulmate too
back to you in australia
you were busy with life
and because of the whole disappointing soulmate thing you started to become a fan of kpop
and well produce 101 was airing but you weren’t one for survival shows and heartbreak
one day you and your friends were chilling at your place
when produce 101 happened to be airing your friends all wanted to watch it so you all ended up watching it
you were glued on hwang minhyun tbh having been a nue’st fan
you and your friends all completely forgot about your soulmate who was probably in korea
most of the trainees had korean names that weren’t kang euigeon
as the show went on you started liking kang daniel too
and you were so so happy that he had gotten first place
and then months later it was announced that wanna one would be coming to kcon in australia
you and your friends all decided to go
and when collecting your tickets and audience passes you and your friends all gathered in a circle to scratch the hi touch passes together
and when you guys scratched the cards only you out of all your friends had gotten the hi touch for wanna one
and like only 200 out of the 20000 people at the concert got the wanna one hi touch so thats like 1% chance
you were over the moon and couldn’t believe your luck
you told yourself even though you weren’t lucky with soulmates at least you were lucky enough to meet wanna one ppl at kcon were selling their hi touches for like 500 omg
one of your friends had gotten audience pass for wanna one so she promised to film you
meanwhile daniel was backstage waiting for the hi touch begin
honestly all of wanna one had met their soulmates and he was the last one
wanna one all knew about his possible foreign soulmate and they had this special feeling that daniel would definitely met her at kcon
and daniel wanted to believe that but he didn’t want to have his hopes too high
as for you you were now in the audience waiting for wanna one
kevin woo my bae came out and everyone cheered
then finallyyyyy wanna one came out and you screamed in happiness
you were quite short and you weren’t in the front row so you couldn’t see well even though you were standing on your tippy toes
daniel was also scanning the crowd hoping to make eye contact with someone that could be his soulmate
but because of your height he obviously couldn’t spot you
daniel turned to jinyoung next to him and shook his head sadly and jinyoung patted his back in assurance
daniel didn’t want to show his disappointment to the fans so he put on a smile and continued with the fanservice
then hi touch finally happened
you were near the end bc you were hoping to have more time with the members lol guys that sadly doesn’t work
as you approached each member you could feel your heart beating wildly as wanna one were smiling down at you and saying thank you sweetly esp seongwoo omg my heart
when you reached daniel
the moment you made eye contact with him and when your hands met
you literally felt your heart burst
it was an indescribable feeling
but you didn’t think much of it bc you thought your heart was bursting because you’d met your bias
you were fangirling so much lol
daniel also felt something but the hi touch was happening too fast and he thought he was just excited at meeting his overseas fans
anyways it was only when it was almost the end of the hi touch session that you rolled your sleeves up and realised the kang euigeon tattoo was no longer there
you freaked out as you tried to comprehend what that meant
and then it snapped
your soulmate was here
you gasped in shock
you glanced around and there were only a few fanboys but when you asked them they weren’t a kang euigeon
you completely forgot about wanna one and focused on finding your soulmate
you even mustered the courage to lean across the barrier and ask the young korean looking photographer at the event for his name and it was embarrassing
you even looked at the name tags of every single security guard and staff member but there were no “kangs”
kevin woo: ok it’s time to say goodbye to wanna one
then you remembered you were here for wanna one
you looked up at them one by one to appreciate their beauty once more before they exited and repeated their names in your head
lai guanlin, ong seongwoo, park jihoon, lee daehwi, bae jinyoung, kang daniel, yoon jisung -
KANG DANIEL
daniel’s surname was kang
but no way would his real name be kang euigeon right???
you stared at him not knowing what to think as he exited the stage and you brushed off the thought that he could be your soulmate quickly as that was just ridiculous
backstage the staff handed wanna one drink bottles and daniel rolled up his sleeves due to the sweat
as jisung leaned over to grab a bottle he noticed that daniel’s arm had no words imprinted on them
“omg daniel your tattoo isn’t there??” exclaimed jisung
daniel looked at his arm and there was nothing
“i thought you didn’t find your soulmate” said jinyoung
“but she must be here bc daniel hyung’s tattoo is gone” said woojin
“omg daniel she must have been at the hi touch” said daehwi excitedly
daniel suddenly remembered how he felt his beat a lot more than sual when he hi fived a fan
but he couldn’t remember what she looked like
then everything made sense in daniel’s head and he got to work
lol and as you were exiting the venue you were disappointed that you had missed your soulmate even though you two had been at the same place at the same time
and you thought it was impossible that daniel was your soulmate
suddenly a staff member made an announcement: hello everyone we have an emergency here if your name is y/n y/l/n please stay behind as there is an emergency
you stood frozen as that was your name
you went back in and told the security it was your name and they told you to wait
when there was no one else left in the venue you felt scared all of a sudden for being alone
was it a family emergency that you were to learn off? was something bad going to happen? or was it your soulmate..?
too many thoughts were running in your head and you were getting confused that you felt like you had a headache
then you felt a tap on your shoulder
you turned around and met eyes with the most gorgeous pair of eyes you’d seen
you’d made eye contact with them for 0.00001 seconds previously but this time you could look for as long as you wanted
the guy was smiling back as his eyes crinkling up in an eyesmile forming crescents
he continued to smile at you while you stared back in shock not believing the situation
tears started to form in your eyes as you weren’t sure that you could believe what was happening
“aye kiddo i finally found you, don’t cry” he reached forward and wiped your tears while laughing at you
“i’m kang euigeon” said daniel and then he stretched out his arms as if asking you to embrace him
you went into his arms and you never felt so warm before
soulmates did exist
and your meeting with your soulmate was more beautiful than your sister’s, more beautiful than anyone else’s
asdgsajhxg omg idk it felt ranty lol please let me know if you liked it or not :)
