The soulmate serum was released to the public two years after Lily was born. So, she didn't really know of a life outside of the concept. Her parents often read her fairy tales growing up, and she would change the story a bit. The prince in the s...
A/N: An alternative name I suppose could have been Fantasy by Vixx. (If you think it would suit better just lemme know.) There is an image of an outfit provided in this chapter. I don't claim the images as my own. There will be links to where you can find each piece linked in the comments on the image.

"Silex, this is our Lily." I'm immediately floored by the fact that I am already meeting another quarter of the four groups that make up εlεmεnts.
I bow again. I can't say it in Korean, but I hope one of my soulmates will translate for me. "It's very nice to meet you all."
They all bow and offer me smiles. One of them turns and speaks rapidly in Korean before standing up and coming towards me. I recognize how attractive he is right away. Especially when he offers a smile, and it shows off those little lines beside his lips that naturally seem to extend his smile even wider. I would guess right away that he is a visual judging by his features cataloging the standards of Korean beauty. I'm mentally guessing that he is also probably the leader since he was the one approaching me now, or perhaps he simply knows the most English. As he gets closer I notice that he is about three inches (almost 8 cm) taller than me. "It's very nice to meet you, Lily." His accent is smooth, and most definitely not Korean. I can't pinpoint what the sound is that identifies as a Korean accent, but I've noticed that some of the words come out more muted or muffled in a way. "As a fellow American let me assure you that there is no need for formalities between us, at least not while we are in these rooms."
"Fellow American?" I can't help but ask.
"I'm from California. LA if you want to get specific."
My eyes bulge out, and I almost want to say that Chicago and LA have to be night and day from each other. He might be from the United States, but it almost feels like he could be from another planet. I can't help but imagine that the culture in LA would be quite different from the one I am familiar and accustomed to.
Another member bounds over to his side, hugs him from behind and smiles widely at me. He's beautiful, and while his blonde hair isn't natural it suits his skin tone nicely, almost as if it were the color he was born with. "Nice to meet you, Lily. I'm Lee Hwan Yong, and a really good friend of Jiseong's. We are both 2000 liners." By his accent I'm guessing he's originally from either Australia or perhaps the UK, but I'm really horrible with accents so I can't be sure of which unless he tells me. "I'm not the maknae of our group though." He continues to explain. "That would be Kang Měihuì." He points at another member who waves at me in response. I'm guessing he doesn't speak English, and I'm assured that's the case when Hwan Yong starts rambling Korean off rapidly to the other member. I'm not certain of his nationality though. The name doesn't sound Korean to me.
