Sicheng only sat down there quietly. He regrets his decision to go to the homecoming party. Ten wouldn't stop bothering him, so he decided to come. And Taeyong also convinced him to come, just in case he meets his soulmate tonight.

"Huh, soulmate? This is bullshit." Sicheng whispered in his breath.

He looked at his wrist and saw those tattoos—his soulmate's initial tattoo. The universe is indeed cruel; how could Sicheng find his soulmate just by his or her initials? He touched the tattoo again. Y? Who is this Y? Did Sicheng ever meet them before? Will they meet soon? He questions this all the time. And Ten and Taeyong will always say, "You both will meet soon; don't worry! You should've gone out more, though."

It's not like Sicheng doesn't like to go out, nor does he hate parties, but sometimes he finds his peace in his room; he prefers being under his cozy blanket and watching some movies or maybe variety shows.

And also, it's not like Taeyong and Ten found each other by going outside a lot. They've just been friends and neighbors since their childhood, so they find each other quickly. Even though they're being dumb and such an extra by being oblivious at first, if it's not when Taeyong accidentally kisses Ten, they probably still don't know they're each other's soulmates.

"Hey Wingss!" Sicheng looks up and sees Taeyong and Ten with two more people behind them.

"I want you to meet my friends! Do you remember that Yuta I always talk about? My high school friends? This is him!"

Sicheng smiles and wakes up. He's getting tired and kind of tipsy, but it'll be rude if he keeps sitting down, right? Not to mention, they are actually older than Sicheng.

"Hi, nice to know you! I've heard a lot about you from both Taeyong and Ten. I'm Nakamoto Yuta! And this is my boyfriend, or, you might say, my soulmate, Doyoung!" They blush and smile at each other.

"Hi, nice to know you all. I'm Winwin, basically Taeyong and Ten's adopted son." Sicheng jokes around.

"Look at you! I like you already!" Yuta started to laugh. "But as much as I like you, I guess I have to go now? I'll see you again soon, Winwin!"

"I'll see you around, Win. Nice to meet you." Doyoung, who was just smiling, finally talked and patted Sicheng's shoulder.

"I'll see you guys soon." And after Doyoung and Yuta were out of his sight, he sat down again. Taeyong and Ten, who look at him, frown.

"Wingss, I believe you should just hang out, and you might find your soulmate here! And I see your drink is empty already." Taeyong sits next to Sicheng.

"I don't want to get drunk today, hyung, and I'm kind of tired. What do you expect me to do? Talk to everyone and try to kiss them to know if they are really my soulmate." Sicheng only pouts and rests his head on Taeyong's shoulder.

"Wingss, sweetie, we're sorry. We don't want to force you; we just want to make you happy. You know that, right?" Ten looked concerned and put his hand on Sicheng's thigh. "And I believe you don't have to kiss everyone to find out who's your soulmate, right, Yongg?"

Taeyong, who's silently patting Sicheng's hair, speaks up, "I believe so! I'm not pretty sure, though, since you know I know Ten since we're kids. But you might call it a feeling."

"Its okay, though, hyung. I'm not that desperate to find my soulmate." Sicheng only let out a heavy sigh.

"If that is what you want Wingss, me and Taeyong will be hanging out with the DJ, you know, Johnny? I talk about him a couple of times. If you feel tired, you could just go back or just crush to our place; we'll take care of you once we get home. Okay?" Ten signaled Taeyong to go with him.

"Okay hyung."

And they both left. Sicheng knows his hyung wants the best for him, but he thinks this isn't the best way, at least for now. Yes, Sicheng might look kind of pathetic. His hyung is desperately in love with each other. His old roommate moved to live with his soulmate. And also, even his brother, Xuxi, found his soulmate in high school.

But he actually kind of enjoys his life. He has no problem, except sometimes college life tries to kill him slowly.

Sicheng was so drawn to his thoughts that he didn't realize someone was approaching him. And suddenly, he realized someone was sitting next to him.

"Hating the party?" The boy next to him breaks the silence.

Sicheng looked at him as if he were studying him. He had never seen him before. Yes, Sicheng is not that social butterfly who knows everyone, but he is pretty sure he has never seen him before.

Sicheng just let out a sigh. "No, I don't hate this party. It's just that I'm kind of tired. If that makes any sense."

That boy just nodded in agreement and said, "I do understand. You finished your drink already?" Sicheng sees that he's holding an empty glass too.

"Yep, and I have no intention to drink again."

"Oh well, good. Let's just go outside with me." That boy put his glass and Sicheng's on the table and grabbed his hand.

Sicheng might be losing his mind or he's too tipsy; he feels a spark going on when he takes his hand. It only lasts for a second, though.

That boy took him to the rooftop of their dorm building. They sat down there as they saw the night sky.

"Much better, right?" He asked, breaking the silence, and looked at Sicheng.

"Yes, way much better. I'm getting dizzy by the number of people down there." Sicheng just sighs in relief.

"Glad you feel better." Sicheng must admit that that boy smile is so beautiful; he even thought it was more beautiful than the sky full of stars. His dimples really make him look so soft and beautiful; they frame his smile so well.

That boy probably noticed. Sicheng has been looking at him for quite some time now, and he turned and said, "I'm sorry if I appeared kind of rude; I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Jaehyun, Jung Jaehyun. I just moved here, basically tonight. Then my cousin asked me to go with him because my dorm is empty, and my roommate is probably going to the party as well." He offers Sicheng his hand, and they both shake hands. Sicheng swear, he could feel the sparks again, but this time kind of subtle? He's actually not sure; he can't think straight since he's still kind of tipsy.

"Oh, nice to know you, Jaehyun. I'm Winwin! It's my nickname, though. I just prefer people calling me that." Sicheng laughs softly. "And, btw, who's your cousin? I might not be a social butterfly, but if your cousin is a party person, I guess I might know him."

"Doyoung? Have you heard about him?"

"Oh!! I just met him. Just then, my friends introduced me to him. They got the same class as Doyoung hyung." Sicheng lights up upon hearing the familiar name. He thought it would be easier for him to know Jaehyun more now that he knows his cousin.

"Yeah, that's him. I didn't know my roommate yet, though. But my room is in this building." Jaehyun said this while thinking. There's a couple of dorm buildings at their college, and Sicheng happens to live in this building as well.

"Really? I live here too. Which floor is your room on? And yeah, I might know your roommate." Sicheng raised his eyebrow.

"7th floor? Room 127?" Ask Jaehyun as he tries to remember his own room.

"Wait a minute!" Sicheng looks at Jaehyun. "You're my roommate!"

"What? Really??" Jaehyun looks shocked as well.

"Oh well, nice to meet you, roommate. You're right, though; I'm indeed going to the party." Sicheng laughs as he sees Jaehyun smile. "I'm only going because my hyung asked me. They're the ones who're friends with Doyoung hyung. I'm going to introduce them to you later."

"Oh sure! I love meeting new people."

Sicheng rolled his eyes. "I doubt you like them." He paused for a minute and laughed again. "Kidding! You must like them even though they're kind of annoying sometimes. I'm basically their adopted son, so they might crush on our place sometimes just to check on me. Sorry for that. I can't do anything about that either." He shrugged his shoulders lightly.

Jaehyun only nodded in response. "You want to head back downstairs?"

"Sure, let's go. I'm sorry if you see our room kind of messed up, though. I lived alone; no one can tell me what to do, so yeah. But no worries, I'm willing to clean up if you tell me so. We need to have that mutual relationship." Sicheng is only rambling because he feels dizzy again. He hates being tipsy, but he can't help but drink three glasses of alcohol just because his hyung keeps pouring it for him.

"I have no problem with that, Win. Let's just head downstairs for now." Jaehyun might notice it, so he holds Sicheng's waist and goes downstairs with him.

They're heading back to their dorm. The dorm rooms vary in each building. There's that huge one, which they should share for 4 people, and then there's this tiny one, like a studio, which is used for them who can't have roommates, and there's also some that have two separate rooms so they don't have to share a bedroom. Sicheng lived in those that only had one room with two queen beds in it. But it has a quite big living room and a quite big kitchen. He never used that kitchen, though; it was always Taeyong who cooked for him.

They finally arrived at their dorm. Jaehyun put Sicheng on the sofa, and he headed to the kitchen. Jaehyun brought some tea just in case they needed it, and he was glad he actually brought it. He makes a hot tea for Sicheng, wishing it could actually help him.

"Go drink some. It'll make you feel better." Jaehyun hands him the cup.

"But I'm not that tipsy, though? I mean, I'm still okay; I still can walk properly; I only feel a little dizzy." Sicheng is holding the cup that Jaehyun handed him.

"Just drink it. At least your body can warm up and make you feel better." Jaehyun sat next to Sicheng while looking at him, drinking tea.

"Thanks, Jae; you don't really have to take care of me like that," said Sicheng after he finished the tea.

"It's literally nothing? And we're roommates anyway; don't feel too pressured."

"I'm happy that you're my roo-"

Sicheng couldn't finish his words because there's a loud noise on his door, and he's totally sure it must be Ten and Taeyong.

"Winwin! Oh, dear Lord, are you drunk? Who's this stranger? Did he do something to you? Or did you bring him home?" Then Taeyong looked at the table in front of Sicheng, and he saw that cup of tea. "Winwin, what if he put something bad on your tea? I thought I taught you about saying no politely to strangers before." Taeyong literally freaked out seeing him and Jaehyun on the sofa. Taeyong shrugged at Ten to make him say something.

"Sweetie, please don't take my advice seriously about trying to kiss everyone to find the one. I didn't really mean it! And I thought you hated that idea?" Ten freaked out while Taeyong nodded vigorously.

Jaehyun looks kind of shocked about this view. He had never met either of them before. And he also thought that this room was only for two, not four. He looks confused and sees Sicheng asking for some explanation.

Sicheng looked at Jaehyun and whispered, "I'm sorry for this; let me explain to you later." Sicheng put his hand on his head. "Oh God, hyung!! Why did you think like that? Calm your ass down! And just let me explain, okay?"

Then Ten and Taeyong started to sit on the sofa in front of him. They were patiently waiting for some explanation. And they also take a look at Jaehyun continuously; Jaehyun must admit that makes him kind of nervous.

"So, Jaehyun, this is my hyung, Ten, and Taeyong. They live next door, so don't worry. I'm basically their adopted son; we've been close for like 4–5 years, so they're kind of overprotective toward me, but trust me, they're nice. And also, they're the ones who introduced me to Doyoung hyung and his boyfriend, Yuta hyung!" Sicheng looks at Jaehyun and signals Ten and Taeyong to introduce themselves.

"Oh yes, hi, I'm Taeyong."

"And I'm Ten. Sorry for the scene earlier. We're just worried and freaking out." Ten lets out a nervous laugh.

"And hyung, he's not a stranger; he didn't put anything weird in my tea, and I also didn't try to kiss him, oh God. Hyung, he's Jaehyun, my new roommate, and also Doyoung's hyung cousin. Please, from now on, dont just trespass on my dorm since I didn't live alone again now." Sicheng throws his head back and leans against the sofa.

"I'm so sorry, baby; it's just our natural behavior to look out for you. But no worries, from now on we'll let you know if we come over. Sounds good?" Taeyong looked at Sicheng, worried. "But Jaehyun, can you look after him? You know our baby chicken can get needy sometimes, and he just needs a lot of attention and care."

"Hyung, stop it! I'm not a kid; you don't have to worry about  me."Sicheng lets out a heavy sigh. He knows his hyung is this protective for his own goods, but sometimes it feels too much for him. "And Jaehyun, don't worry about me; you could just take care of yourself; I can protect myself."

"If that's what you want." Ten shrugged. "I just want you to know we only want you to be happy and be cared for."

"Of course I do know that, hyung." Sicheng smile. And Taeyong and Ten can't help but smile too. "Come here, little boy."

Taeyong and Ten wrap Sicheng in a warm hug. Jaehyun only looked at them, stunned. "Winwin really meant it when he said he's their adopted son."

"Hey, want to join a family hug? If you're Wing's friend, then you're our son too." Ten invite Jaehyun to join in.

Jaehyun looks at Sicheng as if he's searching for the answer. "Just join here, Hyun." Sicheng answered with a soft smile.

"Well, if you insist." Jaehyun joined the family hug. This is definitely the first time he has ever experienced this; he actually got a new family and friend on his first day since moving out. He really appreciated it. And he knew he would eventually get close to them and get to know them better soon.

The next week, Sicheng already got to know Jaehyun more. They're 8 months apart; Jaehyun was born on Valentine's Day; Jaehyun loves his tiramisu rather than cheese cake; Jaehyun is now a radio DJ for their college radio; even he knows Jaehyun's habit while sleeping now. He really needs to hug something (usually his plushie) to go to sleep. He and Jaehyun always have those nighttime talks before they go to sleep, though they don't really have any particular reasons to do that; it's just like they naturally do it.

As Sicheng knows for now, Jaehyun hasn't met his soulmate. Once Jaehyun let Sicheng take a look at the tattoo on his wrist, it was an "S." Jaehyun claims his friends, whose initials are S, have already met their soulmate, so he wants to believe it's someone he hasn't met yet.

Sicheng let Jaehyun see his tattoo too. Sicheng said he hasn't met someone with the Y initial, so he's pretty sure he hasn't met his soulmate yet.

After knowing each other more, they realize they share some similarities, like how they like their egg in the morning, they like the scrambled egg, they like toast, and they like milk (even though Sicheng prefers the chocolate one and Jaehyun prefers the vanilla one).

Sicheng can't cook, which is why Jaehyun usually cooks for them. Jaehyun always goes back late since he's a radio DJ, so Sicheng always prepares some hot chocolate for him when he's home.

"Morning Wings!"

Sicheng, who sits in front of the TV, looks at where the voice comes from: "Morning too, Hyun! Enjoy your sleep?"

"Yes! Thanks for the plushie you give me." Jaehyun said this after he drank some water from the refrigerator.

"I never knew you needed plushies that much in your bed, Hyun." Sicheng laughed upon hearing Jaehyun's response.

"Hey! Never underestimate the power of plushies, Wings!" Jaehyun pushes Sicheng while he takes a seat next to him.

They both laugh and keep pushing each other. And suddenly, they heard someone at their door. Its Taeyong.

"Hi hyung!! What are you doing this early?" Sicheng, come to Taeyong and hug him.

"I just need to check on your refrigerator; I don't want my kids to starve." Taeyong immediately went to the kitchen. "Oh, how I miss this kitchen. It's been a while since I cooked here."

Sicheng followed Taeyong to the kitchen. "I do miss your food too sometimes, hyung. But no worries; Jaehyun and I live well, and we don't starve. In fact, we just did some grocery shopping yesterday, hyung, since Hyun can't live without milk just for a day." He smiles at Jaehyun.

Taeyong looked at Jaehyun attentively and said, "Well, son, you live a good life, and I love it!" He patted Sicheng's shoulder happily and said, "My son, I'm glad he's your roommate. I guess I don't need to worry about you that much again. I believe in him, and I believe Ten believes in him too. He's been worried sick about you lately, and I shall tell him this good news."

"Hyung, you're being too much again." Sicheng whines upon Taeyong's words, while Jaehyun smiles and sticks his tongue to Sicheng.

"I do wish he's your soulmate, Wings, he seems like he's a good one. He got my permission to date you; I don't know about Ten, though; you know he is sometimes more strict than I am." Taeyong whispers to Sicheng while making his way out.

"Oh my God, hyung! Stop!" Taeyong only laughed and closed the door hurriedly.

"What's that? Why are your cheeks so red?" Jaehyun, look at Sicheng.

"Umm, no, I'm okay. Just do your own business. You need to get ready for your class, though!" Sicheng hurriedly went into their bedroom.

"But we're literally in the same class?" Sicheng hears Jaehyun shout outside their bedroom.

The question inside Sicheng's mind now is, Why is he like this? Upon hearing Taeyong's words back then, he immediately thought about them. He and Jaehyun are together, not just as roommates but as a couple too. The thought of it is kind of good. He would love to live like that.

"Soulmate? Is he my soulmate, though? I can't fall for someone else's soulmate." Sicheng lost himself in his thought. "If only he's my soulmate..." And he lets out a heavy sigh.

Finally, their class finished. He can't stand being with Jaehyun for another minute now. Thankfully, he needs to immediately go to the radio. Jaehyun keeps asking if he's okay, and he can't tell him he's not okay. That thought keeps haunting his mind. Truthfully, he is still questioning the first time Jaehyun held his hand, he still remembered the spark that he felt. Is it purely because he's kind of tipsy? But if he's tipsy, why does he still remember that feeling? He still remembers the way Jaehyun looked at him on the rooftop back then, how his dimples showed up, and how he shone brighter than the stars in the night sky. It's only been a month since he met Jaehyun. Is it normal to feel like this?

"Hey, Winwin, right?" That voice broke the thought in Sicheng's head.

Sicheng looks at them and smiles, "Yes! Yuta hyung and Doyoung hyung, right?"

"Nice, you still remember us! How are you? You seem kind of lost?" Yuta put his hand on Sicheng's shoulder.

"I'm really okay, hyung. Its just today schedule is so packed, I feel kind of tired." Sicheng lie.

"Oh poor you, you should get some rest! Or do you need Taeyong or Ten? I could call them if you want." Yuta suddenly took out his phone.

"No, hyung, I'm really okay! I'm going to rest well later tonight; don't worry." Sicheng smiled while trying to put down Yuta's phone. He doesn't need Taeyong and Ten to worry about him again. And he feels like he's not ready to tell them yet.

"Okay then! I should get going now." Yuta turns to Doyoung, who's beside him. "Babe, I need to go to football practice now; I can't be late again. I'll see you later at the dorm?"

"Sure, do boo." Yuta smiles and kisses Doyoung's cheek before he goes. "See you later too, Winwin!"

"See you, hyung!"

After Yuta was gone from their sight, Sicheng looked at Doyoung, who was still standing there and smiling.

"Now you can tell me what's wrong."

"Um? Tell you what, hyung?" Sicheng is getting confused by Doyoung's words.

"Oh, come on, Win, you can tell me. I may not know you well, but I can tell you're not okay, and there's something that bothers you." Doyoung only smiles. "Now, let's go to the library. You could just tell me everything. And if Ten and Taeyong ask where you are, you could just say you're studying with me. We do have class together, right?"

"Yes hyung."

Without Sicheng knowing, he's already at the library, with Doyoung sitting in front of him.

"Okay, now tell me. I'm here to listen to you."

"It's actually not that important, hyung. I guess it's just about my stupid feeling." Sicheng only looks down.

"If it's about your feelings, then it's important!" Doyoung touched Sicheng's hand and comforted him.

"Um, its actually about Taeyong hyung words this morning. He was jokingly saying that he wished Jaehyun was my soulmate. And after he said that, I immediately thought about it. Like the vision of us as a couple. And I can't stop thinking about it until now." Sicheng only looks down while fidgeting.

"I see. You already see my cousin charm, do you?" Doyoung only laughs.

"Oh my God, hyung, I forgot you were his cousin. I'm dead now, am I?"

"No Win! Its okay. You talk to the right person. I know him so well that I could tell you everything about him if you wanted to. Its okay, I do see you both going to look well as a couple." Doyoung shrugged and smiled again. "And I guess you won't think about that vision if there's nothing going on between you two before, right? You could just tell me again, you know." Doyoung raised his eyebrows.

"Hyung, are you a mind reader? How could you know?" Sicheng looks shocked.

"Hahaha, no, I'm not! It's just that you're kind of easy to read? Now go on!"

"It was the first day I met him, you, and Yuta hyung too."

"Wait, at that party? I don't know if he actually went to the party." Doyoung laugh. "He's just not that party-type kind of boy. So it's just funny to me that you met him at the party too."

"He came to me after you, Yuta hyung, Ten hyung, and Taeyong hyung left. He asked me to go out with him since I told him I'm kind of tired and don't want to drink more. And he grabs my hand, and when he does that, I kind of feel a spark. At that time, I thought it was me being kind of tipsy, but if I'm tipsy, I might not remember how it felt, right? But I still remember that well."

"Oh right, you both haven't met your soulmate yet, right?" Doyoung asked, while Sicheng only nodded in response. "May I see your tattoo?"

Sicheng gives Doyoung his hand. The tattoo is still there. Yes, his lips haven't kissed his soulmate yet. No matter how you see it, you can see that "Y" clearly on Sicheng's wrist. Doyoung frown.

"Winwin is only your nickname, right? Mind if you tell me your real name?" Doyoung ask.

Sicheng nodded. "Yes, it's only my nickname; my real name is Sicheng."

Doyoung literally gasps and wheezes.

"What's wrong, hyung?" Sicheng tilts his head.

"Did Jaehyun ever say that Jaehyun is not his real name?" Doyoung starts grinning.

"Umm, nope? Is it not his real name?" Sicheng started getting confused again.

"His name is Jung Yoonoh, and tell me you already saw his tattoo, right?" Doyoung gets excited and starts to clap his hand.

Sicheng is trying to remember that day when Jaehyun let him see his tattoo. And it's an "S.". 

"So you tell me we might be soulmates?" Sicheng asks with a low voice.

"Yes!! That spark is the hint, Win! Believe me!! Omg, I can't believe you're his soulmate. I'm glad it's you, though! Omg, Win, you really need to talk to him." Doyoung started to pat Sicheng's hand excitedly.

"But what if we're not hyung? Is this all just a coincidence? What if he didn't feel the same?" Sicheng actually feels happy inside, but he can't help but feel worried.

"Oh, sweetie, the chance that this is only a coincidence is only 2%. And if you feel like this, I believe he does too; that's how soulmates work. There's no such thing as one-sided love. Please do believe me and talk to him soon." Doyoung only smiles and encourages Sicheng.

"I'll talk to him when I'm ready, hyung. I do believe you; lets just hope thats true." Sicheng smiled calmly. "Thanks for being here for me, though."

"Hey, its nothing! I'm glad I could help. I would love to hear from you again later, hopefully with good news." Doyoung started to stand and get ready to go home. "Let's go home now, Win?"

"Yes hyung." Sicheng smiles and walks home with Doyoung.

That night, Sicheng lay on his bed while listening to Jaehyun's radio. His voice filled the whole room. Well, Sicheng knows why Jaehyun is a radio DJ now, plus why he works at night. His voice is really nice to listen to, and his voice is soft and calming, which is really nice to listen to at night. Sicheng never realized Jaehyun's voice was this beautiful, though. "I guess this is what is called a whipped culture."

"So, tonight's theme is love."

Sicheng chuckled because he heard Jaehyun kind of choke too.

"Actually, I don't know much about love. I haven't met my soulmate yet, so I don't think I could give any nice advice, but we shall see, right? Send your story to me, and I might read it. Please don't hate me if my advice is not helpful later." Jaehyun laugh.

Sicheng doesn't know what is going on inside his head, but he suddenly thinks he wants to send his story to Jaehyun. He wants to know how Jaehyun will react if he is him. Sicheng started to write and send it to the radio. And when he started to listen again, Jaehyun was just finished reading someone else's story.

"Umm, for your story, well. I'm sorry this has to happen to you. You know, you both are still soulmates even when you guys are miles away, right? I know you might feel lonely, but believe me, your soulmate might feel it too, so just be there for each other. A long-distance relationship may be hard, but I believe you both can get through this. 4 years is obviously not a short amount of time, but soon they will be in your arms again. Stay strong. I hope this song can heal you."

Jaehyun then plays Eric Benet's Still With You. Jaehyun sure knows how to cheer people up with songs, but not really with words. Sicheng can't help but giggle while listening to him try to give advice.

"Yes, that's it for our first story. Moving on to our second story."

Sicheng started to listen attentively, in case it was his story.

"So, I just met this person recently, not too long ago. From the first time we met, I felt something about him, but I'm not really sure, so I just let the thought go. But today, something happened, and I told my friend about it, and he said we're probably soulmates after all those things that happened. What should I do? We just knew each other, and I already fell for him. And what if I'm the only one who feels like this? What if we're not soulmates? I'm lowkey happy that I found the one, but I'm scared as well."

"Oh my God, it's my story." Sicheng cursed under his breath.

"Interesting story! I'm still not sure about my soulmate yet, so I don't know. If your friend already has a soulmate, then he knew and felt that too back then when he met his soulmate, right? I guess you should just believe him and assume you guys are soulmates. And about you, you just knew each other, but you already fell for him, like I said before. I guess that's how soulmates work? And hey, love at first sight does exist, though! And if you both are soulmates, then they must feel the same about you too. I heard there's no such thing as one-sided love. So just talk to them! And I sincerely pray that they're your soulmates. I would love to know how this ends, though. Good luck!"

Sicheng turned off the radio and started smiling. Well, he should talk to Jaehyun soon, maybe. But not today nor tomorrow; he's not ready yet. Let alone talk to him; he might blush just seeing Jaehyun later. He should just sleep now.

The next morning, Sicheng woke up early and went immediately. Jaehyun was left alone at the dorm. He doesn't know what's going on with Sicheng. Like last night, he's shocked to see Sicheng already sleeping, while usually he waits for Jaehyun to come back and even offers him hot chocolate sometimes. Even yesterday, after their class, Sicheng immediately went and said he needed to go to the bathroom. This all happened after that morning, after Taeyong came to their dorm. Jaehyun felt Sicheng was avoiding him. And unfortunately, Jaehyun has no class today, so he can't go to college just to search for Sicheng and ask him what happened.

Jaehyun was just finishing showering when he saw Ten at his door. Jaehyun lowkey wishes it was Taeyong so he could ask him what they talked about that morning. But he still greets him, "Oh hi hyung."

"Hi Jaehyun, where's Winwin?" Ten come in and sit on the couch.

"That's what I want to ask you, hyung, he literally goes before I'm awake." Jaehyun sits in front of Ten.

"Did you hurt him in any way?" Ten started to frown.

"No, no, hyung, why would I? Can I talk to you?" Jaehyun ask.

"Sure do! Whats wrong?" Ten straightened his back and started listening.

"So yesterday morning, we were fine, then Taeyong hyung came, we talked for awhile, and before he left, he whispered something to Winwin. After that, Winwin blushed and wouldn't even talk to me. And usually he waits for me until I come home, but yesterday he's sleeping already when I'm home."

"I never see him like that either. But I believe whatever Taeyong said is not about telling him to avoid you. When he comes back, he tells me, you're a nice guy, and he doesn't mind if you're his-" Ten stops talking and smirking right away. "Ah, I see now."

"What hyung? What did he say? Why are you smirking?" Jaehyun started questioning Ten as he got nervous.

"May I see your tattoo?"

"Suddenly?" Ten only shrugged and took Jaehyun's hand.

"Oh my God, is this what I think?" Ten only whispered, but Jaehyun could hear him.

"What do you think, hyung? Omg, don't be like this; I'm getting nervous." Jaehyun started fidgeting.

"Is Jaehyun your nickname? And what's your real name?" Ten started to interrogate him.

"Yes, my real name is Yoonoh. What about it, hyung?"

"Oh God, you're my son's soulmate! Jaehyun, why are you both like this? Oh my God!" Ten starts to scream and jumps on his seat.

"I don't understand, hyung!!!"

"Listen, Jaehyun, you know Winwin is only a nickname, right? His real name is Sicheng. Your tattoo is an S, while the Sicheng tattoo is an Y. You both are soulmates!" Ten pats Jaehyun's hand excitedly.

"Oh my God, I understand now!" Jaehyun jumped onto his seat. "This explains the spark every time I hold or touch his hand; this explains the butterfly in my stomach ever since I moved here. Hyung, omg, what should I do about this? He doesn't even want to see me! Did he notice this and not like the idea of me being his soulmate?"

"Jaehyun, sweetie, I do believe you understand the concept of a soulmate; I believe he feels it too! And knowing Sicheng, he might avoid you, just because when he realizes it, he can't stop thinking about it, and he might blush every time he sees you! I know my son well, Jaehyun; believe me, he likes, oh no, loves you too. He might think the same about you too." Ten stood and hurriedly took his phone. "You should take care of it today; I'd love to get updates on good news later from my son. You got me and Taeyong's blessings; I need to talk to Taeyong about this, so I'm going now."

"Don't hurt my son or I hurt you; talk to him today; I don't take any excuse!" said Ten while he closed the door.

After Ten left, Jaehyun was alone, sitting on the couch. Without him knowing, he started to smirk. The thought that Sicheng is his soulmate makes him so happy. He can't wait until Sicheng comes home later.

The night has finally come. Sicheng really went home kind of late; it was already 10 p.m., and he just got home. Jaehyun didn't have any radio today, so he's already in bed, waiting for the right time to talk to Sicheng.

"Win, why are you home so late?" said Jaehyun while he looked at his phone.

"Umm, I have a project to do with my classmates, and we just finished it." Sicheng is trying to avoid eye contact.

Jaehyun can see Sicheng blushing. He now knew what Ten was talking about; he had a lowkey smile and was giggling when Sicheng was in the shower. He can't wait to talk to him. It makes him die to finally tell Sicheng that he loves him so much.

After Sicheng finished showering, he lay on his bed, playing on his phone, literally doing anything to avoid talking to Jaehyun.

Jaehyun, get up and lay beside him.

"Hyun, what are you doing?" Sicheng looks shocked and tries to make a gap between them.

"I need to talk to you." Doing this actually makes Jaehyun nervous, though. "Why are you avoiding me?"

"What?? No, I wasn't avoiding you; it's just that I'm kind of busy today, and I'm sleepy yesterday." Sicheng kind of stuttered.

"I didn't mention what makes me think you avoid me, though." Jaehyun started to smirk.

Sicheng is speechless, starts to sigh, and really turns his back. Jaehyun giggled upon seeing that. He thinks Sicheng is really cute when he's shy.

Jaehyun suddenly hugged Sicheng from behind and said, "Don't ever avoid me ever again; I think I'm dying not seeing you for a day."

Jaehyun can feel Sicheng tensed but relaxed right away; this feels right. "I didn't avoid you, Hyun; I'm just..."

Jaehyun giggles and says, "It's okay; I know Wings. You should just talk to me when you know what happened between us."

Sicheng turned his back, and now he faces Jaehyun. "Well, you should've just told me first, Yoonoh. Hyun, I've been dying to know who's this Y, and why don't you tell me? I'm scared to death that you don't want to be my soulmate or stuff. I think I'm crazy for being happy just by the thought of us as a couple." Sicheng starts to sulk.

"I'm sorry, Sicheng. I'm still new to this kind of stuff, too. I always search for answers about the spark every time I hold or touch you and about this butterfly on my stomach every time I'm near you, but I'm scared, until Ten hyung convinced me."

"Ten hyung know?" Sicheng looks surprised.

"Well, he came here earlier, and we had a talk. He's the one who made me realize that you're my soulmate."

"I'll never realize it if I don't talk to Doyoung hyung."

"You talk to him?" This time, Jaehyun is the one who's surprised.

"Yep, and that's why I know you're my destiny. But I'm still scared. What if this is just a coincidence?"

"Why don't we just find out together?" Jaehyun started to smirk again. Seeing Jaehyun smirk actually makes Sicheng's stomach feel upside down; it's so attractive, but he looks dangerous. It's one of his charms, Sicheng thinks.

"How?" Sicheng raised his eyebrows.

"This." Jaehyun suddenly kissed Sicheng. Their lips fit with each other. It feels right. They both never really kiss anyone, but they believe it was the kiss of their lives. At first, it was just a tiny peck Jaehyun gave Sicheng's lips, but suddenly it escalated so quickly. After tons of tiny pecks, Sicheng started to enjoy it and kiss him back. He closed his eyes, and he just melted at the thought that Jaehyun's lips were on his lips now, kissing him tenderly.

Sicheng started to deepen their kiss and put his hand on Jaehyun's nape. It was a slow yet passionate kiss. They finally parted because they needed air.

After that, they started to giggle, and Jaehyun still leaned toward Sicheng.

"That was amazing." Sicheng smile.

"1000% agree." Jaehyun giggle. They look at their wrist, and they see their tattoo slowly fading away.

"Well, I guess you're my soulmate. I'll never complain about being with you forever; in fact, I'm so grateful it was you." Jaehyun smiled and gave Sicheng tiny pecks again.

"I'm grateful it was you too, Hyun; the second love story you read on your radio yesterday was mine, though." Sicheng laughs while Jaehyun looks shocked. "You're the one who encourages me to talk, but I'm sorry, I'm not that brave. I'm glad you made a move; if you don't, we are still not talking to each other, because I can't stop blushing whenever I see you."

"Thanks for accepting me, Wings; I love you," said Jaehyun, and Sicheng kissed his forehead. "I love you too, my boo."

"Guess that bed will be a waste, though, since from tonight I'm going to be sleeping here with you. And now I have you to cuddle with instead of all those plushies." Jaehyun is cuddling with Sicheng.

"Tell me later if I'm better at cuddling or those plushies." Sicheng hugged Jaehyun.

"It's not even a night yet, but no doubt I'll answer you."

And they finally drifted on to dream land while cuddling in each other's arms.
