Red Strings (Taehyun × Yeonjun)

Red strings.

They're invisible yet we feel their grip on our fingers.

Every humans had already felt their red strings since they were born.

Except for Taehyun.

Ever since he was a child, he never felt a red string tug his pinky finger. And he was often bullied because of it.

But everyday he hopes, he'll feel a single touch from a red string.

"Taehyun-ah, guess what?" His best friend, Beomgyu shouted as he sits besides him.

Their currently in the cafeteria, eating their lunches peacefully.

Taehyun rolls his eyes due to his friend's actions.

"What?"

"Soobin-hyung is my fate!" Beomgyu cheerfully said as he shows his pinky finger tied with a red knot.

Once you found your fate, the invisible knot that surrounds your finger will appear. The knot will only break if your fate rejected you.

Taehyun smiled bitterly. Of course, his best friend will meet his fate.

But when will the red-haired meet his?

"Taehyun-ah! You're spacing out again..." Beomgyu sulked which made Taehyun chuckle.

He knew exactly what the younger thinks.

"Are you thinking about your string again?" He asks worriedly.

Taehyun only looked at his pinky finger.

"Aish, hyung!" He said as he slams his head on the table, disappointed on himself. "It's hard to find my fa—"

Taehyun was cut off when he felt a tug from his finger. He only dismissed it. Probably Beomgyu since he always tugs the younger's pinky to let him know how it feels like.

But there it was again.

"Beomgyu-hyung, stop pulling my pinky." He says as he slowly raises his head, only to see Beomgyu with chopsticks on his right hand and a phone on his left hand.

The older looked at him, confused.

"What are you talking about? I didn't pull anything."

Taehyun then got up and ran outside, carrying his bag with him.

Finally, someone who made him feel the red string after 18 years.

As he ran through the hallways, he suddenly bumped into a student.

"Ouch! Watch where you're going!" The student shouted at him.

Taehyun turned and automatically bowed to the student.

"I-I'm sorr—" He didn't finish his sentence when he felt his pinky tugged harder.

He always read about red strings and knew right away what it meant.

When you're close to your fate, the string will tug harder—indicating that you have found the one.

He looked up to see a boy with lemon yellow hair, sharp fox-like eyes and plump lips.

Taehyun averted his gaze upon the boy's name tag.

Choi Yeonjun. It says.

"What are you looking at?" Yeonjun yells which made Taehyun flinch.

Could he be...

His fate?

"I'm sorry but do you feel something tugging your pinky finger?" He asks as Yeonjun rolls his eyes.
