Chapter Text
For as long as humans have lived, people believed that everyone has someone who is destined for them. Whenever a person turns nineteen, their soul will be transferred into the body of their match at midnight following their birthday. Hence, the term soulmate. They are only given one hour to make a note for their match that hints their existence. Those of older generations wrote poems. Some people chose to keep it simple by writing short notes. Once their souls are transferred back to their own bodies, people would find clues from their soulmates on how to find them.
This important hour when people would see their soulmate for the first time is dubbed the hour.
The hour when you learn about your match.
The hour when you make your existence known.
When a person turns nineteen, it has become a ritual for everyone to celebrate, since it is the time when those who have a soulmate will find their missing piece. Some didn't experience the hour right away, however. If a person has a match who is younger than them, they would have to wait until their match comes to age. Many of these people become pessimistic about their chances of having a soulmate because they didn't know their soulmate is younger.
There are many who believe this concept is how the universe bring people together from across the world. Others believe that these types of relationships are doomed to fail. And through the passage of time, both believes had been proven to be true.
There are pairs who are from different parts of the world. The universe urged them to travel the lands and seas to find a place for these people to settle their hearts. Other times, some pairs fall apart. As humans always do, they take advantage of each other and eventually rip their match apart. With that, their lives are ruined along with their soulmate's. However, more often than not, the universe are able to bring unlikely people together. That is how the universe weave the tangled strings of fate.
