I sat up in distraught, panting and eyes widened. I was unknowingly gripping the sheets as I hadn't fully embraced reality yet, my necklace bouncing against my chest. I closed my eyes for a moment and took large intakes of breaths to calm myself.

"I'm sorry to say you're the first one that doesn't have a soulmate, Ms. Yang," the voice echoed through my mind.

It was just a stupid dream, Hyejin. Just a dream.

These nightmares about not having a soulmate have been in my sleep this past week. I still dream about my soulmate, but that dream will be then interrupted by the nightmares. It's scaring me so much that I couldn't bear to sleep and go through that whole experience again.

It's almost like it's mocking me, telling me that I will never have one despite of what I think or dream about.

I ran my hands through my face and peeked at my bedside clock.

5:04 a.m.

I sighed in frustration and got up. 

There's no way I'd fall asleep again after that.

I grabbed my blanket and wrapped it around me, feeling my skin tingling from the cold environment. I walked out the balcony and sat down in one of the seats.

Might as well enjoy the quiet streets before the sun rises.

I brought my knees up and placed my head on it. My eyes focused on the city lights as I relieved another sigh.

I know that everyone has someone fated to be the one for them, it's a proven fact, but it is not impossible for someone to not have one. They just haven't found a person yet and being the first one is what I fear the most.

Having a fear about not having a soulmate might be silly at first glance, but getting used to being alone is what makes it scary.

Living in a big condo in Seoul, highlights the absence of having someone there for me. Don't get me wrong, I did try to find a roommate, but everyone I asked preferred living alone in hopes of having free space for their soulmate—and I couldn't bring myself to ask the opposite gender.

I'm not even capable of making friends. I was known to be quite awkward in high school and the only friend I had was my best friend Nari who is 3 years older than me. I did try to make new ones when she graduated but I was either too boring or quiet.
