Chapter 1

'Beep. Beep. Beep.' My annoying digital alarm clock buzzes way too loudly, a sound I should be used to by the number of times I've heard it, but nevertheless, I wake up groaning as I slap my hand on top of the black metal box on my bedside table, shutting it up immediately.

Barely two seconds has passed before my hand has reached out for my phone, opening up every single one of all those social media apps on my homescreen, from tumblr and instagram to kakao talk and snapchat.

The moment I open Tumblr, my phone freezes, the screen blacks out and it returns to my homescreen, an adorable picture of Jaehyun grinning at the camera.

'...Okay...' I think to myself as I try again, clicking on that dark blue icon with the white 't' in the middle; this time, it opens, but the revolving white symbol which seems to be going on forever annoys me - but finally it loads, and I see the reason why my phone spazzed out in the first place.
276 things I was tagged in. 28 messages.

'Oh shit...' I mumble to myself as I scroll through all of them, let out a deep breath and start by opening my messages, from @kibumslatina and @thatbubblecat

'BITCHH WJSNSJDNS DID YOU SEE IT EVERYONE HAS IT ON THEIR ARM NOW IT JUST SUDDENLY APPEARED'
'TAEMIN IS MINEEEE ahhhh I can't believe he's my soulmate'
'DO YOU HEAR ME SCREAMING I LOVE HIM MY BABY'
'WHO'S YOURS HAVE YOU MET HIM YET??'
'Or is it a kpop idol like mine 😏😏'

I laugh to myself at Keylin's excited spam, and send her '😂😂😂' in reply before reading her message again and trying to understand it.

'Something on their arm? Hm. Interesting.' I think to myself, glancing at my right arm and examining it.

Nothing.

That's when I notice the abnormal italic writing on my left wrist, just on top of the blood vessels below my palm. It looks like I had written something in my handwriting, in my black inky pen I used to write quotes on my wrist all the time during my younger years, filled with hopeless immature dreams of meeting 'The One'.

'I will still feel the same.' I read out loud from the once clear skin on my wrist. I'll still feel the same... In what circumstance would someone say that to me the first time I see them...?
I shake off my thoughts with the fact that this was all meant to be, and reply to Keylin's spam with a picture of the text on my wrist.

'This is all so weird though, we all just woke up with this??'

'IKRR' Her reply is immediate. 'And yours is cute love ^^' 'But I don't get why that would be the first thing someone would say to you..?'

'Honestly me neither' I type out after a long minute of reconsideration about why those might be The Words. She doesn't reply.

''She's probably landed at the airport.' I realise, smiling to myself before proceeding to open Claire's messages.
I've only read the one message saying 'DUDE' when my phone rings, and Jaehyun's face pops up; my eyes widen for a fraction of a second as my heart feels like it's somewhat been elevated, filled, beating faster than ever - until my memory goes back to me telling Claire to put my contact as Taeyong and that I'll put her as Jaehyun.

'Annyeong Jaehyun-ah.' I speak down the line, and hear a confused 'huh?' from the other side, which makes me chuckle as I explain to her the reason for me saying that.

'Ohhhh right, of course.' She says, laughing. 'Did you hear about what happened?'

'Yep, slightly confused to be honest, but yeah I heard. Apparently the words that somehow appeared on our arms are the first words we'll hear our soulmate say..?'

'Yeah and GUESS WHAT?'

'What?'

'Mine says "Booming systems up up"'
There is a momentary silence as I take in what she said before bursting out laughing.
