* you've grown up with a very interesting soulmate bond

* most of the time, when you slept at night, you found yourself in a fairly nondescript field with a boy a little older than you

* he could never tell you his name, and neither could you

* when you tried you went into a coughing fit or said something utterly embarrassing instead

* then he stopped appearing when he was about seventeen

* you were pretty sad actually

* then one day you fell asleep during the day and there he was

* you almost cried

* your boy tried to explain what had happened but he started coughing wildly, prompting you to rush to him and help him stay standing

* he managed to choke out the words "time zones" before resuming hacking out his lungs

* you rubbed his back in what you hoped was a comforting way and murmured that it was all right

* so it kept going until he was about twenty-one, maybe older, maybe younger

* you met only every so often when you or he found the time to steal a few minutes of sleep or when your sleep schedules overlapped

* but he got handsomer and handsomer as time passed

* he dyed his hair several times, from its natural black to brown to dark orange to a lighter brown to a sort of pinkish orange colour and so on, even going purple at one point

* and right now it was a lovely shade of pale pink

* and you got to know him better

* he was a beautiful kind and loving soul

* but also extremely embarrassing

* he made bad jokes in English and Korean alike

* taught you Korean so you could understand the language he spoke at home

* he often spoke fondly of a group of friends, particularly of two his age

* he tried to get their names out but that didn't work

* he sang for you occasionally, lamenting the fact that he didn't have a guitar

* he showed you his calloused fingers, explaining how much playing guitar could hurt in the beginning

* sometimes when he sang, he tried to tell you who wrote the song only for his voice to die in his throat

* after one such incident, he sighed, sitting down defeatedly and hooking his elbows over his knees

* you sat next to him, touching his shoulder gently

* "are you okay?" you murmured

* he looked up, his whole face set in an upset expression

* "I really... really want to meet you, you know?" he sighed. "I don't know how to help you find me, though."

* you leaned your head on his shoulder

* "why can't you find me?"

* he leaned his head against yours with a long sigh

* "I really wish I could, I do, but my work is..." He cut off in a painful-sounding cough, letting out a noise of discontent at the universe's continued jerkishness
