The summer breeze seeped through the open window. Tossing and turning in my bed, I pondered if I should open the AC or not. But upon considering the amount of electricity bills I paid last month, I pushed that thought to the back of my head. I was stark naked underneath a thin blanket. Also considering if I needed the last barrier towards cooling my body down, my eyes finally started to droop.
Not wasting even a second, I got comfortable and waited for sleep to envelop me. I was falling into the depths of my dream when my phone abruptly rang. Pretending not to hear it, I stayed still. Not wanting to lose the perfect position. I waited for it to go to voicemail. It did, but a few seconds later, my phone started to ring again.
Annoyed and wide awake, I reached out for it. The sudden light blinded me. Who is calling at this ungodly hour? It was my best friend. Not hesitating sliding to answer, I put it against my ear. "WHA----"
"Open the door." my words were cut off. But instead of getting mad and cursing, my mouth closed shut. There was a small amount of silence before I could find the courage to speak again. "Fuck off." instead of hearing his voice, a soft knock against my apartment door answered my hex. I sighed and stood up. My mind was coordinated enough to put on some underwear and an oversized sweater for me not be butt naked upon opening the door. His soft knocks subsided.
As I opened the door, I was welcomed by a bear enveloping me into a hug. "YA! WOOJIN." I yelled in a shush manner. "WE'RE GONNA FALL YOU DINGUS!" we wobbled, a sign of falling. But he turned around and let me fall on top of him instead. He fell with a soft thud, meaning he must have cushioned our fall with his butt. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING?!" with my continued yells, we laid flat on the cold floor.
I finally became aware that I was only wearing underwear underneath my sweater and that the door is wide open. Knowing this idiot of a best friend wouldn't let go easy, I bit his shoulder. "IDIOT THE DOOR, I'M EXPOSED" he chuckled, he wiggled down with me still on top of him and closed the door shut with his long legs. Knowing what I should be doing at a moment like this, I kept my mouth shut and rested my head against his broad chest. It was hot but I love this idiot, so I'm going to let it pass.
After a few minutes, he started shifting. With me still on top of him, he sat down. Positing me on top of his lap. His hands were on my waist while mine rested on his chest. He looked at me through his lashes with a stoic face. "Kim Woojin don't fucking tell me you see me more than just a frien---"
"I can see in color."
My words were cut off again. Mouth sealed and mind confused, I tried to register his last words. Realizing what he just said, my eyes found his brown orbs "I'm serious." his stoic face was replaced by a soft expression, and his signature toothy grin became visible. Mine on the other hand remained the same. I couldn't believe it. I know he's not joking but I really hope he is.
Tears ran down my cheeks as I look at every nook and cranny of his face. "She's perfect." I dove right into his chest again, placing my right hand on his head and the other on his huge back. I was crying. I was so happy for him. "Omg, I'm so fucking happy for you Woojin. I.. I'm spe-speechless oh gosh." I was shaking in joy and excitement.
My best friend has found his Soulmate.

The scenario last night melted away into my thoughts as I heard the loud clicks of cameras near me. My gaze shifted to commotion on my right. I was walking towards my company building, this was an everyday event here. Working at a Broadcasting Network in Seoul has gotten me used to fansites, artists and idols hovering around the place. Taking a few glances here and there, I presumed that the 'commotion' is all about a boy group, considering the facts that most of the fans are female and I see crowns of heads towering above the rest.
I really didn't care who they were, so I proceeded inside the building. Tapping my ID card on one of the accessible turnstiles, I continued to greet the reception with a bow. She gave me a small smile and bowed in return. Upon entering my office, I could see a toothy Woojin waving his hand. A small smile automatically formed on my lips as I make my way through the cluster of tables and chairs. "Good Morning, Y/N" I greeted him back with a small punch on his chest. We both sat down on adjacent desks and started our work immediately, the happenings last night pushed aside but not forgotten.
We both tried to keep everything professional before lunch time. And when the clock hit 12 PM, we simultaneously stood up and dashed towards door.
"Did you guys meet today?" my tone, jolly than usual made a big toothy grin form into his face. "Yes! We did! We had breakfast together and she gave me a kiss when I took her to her university." Walking side by side towards the cafeteria. I continued to tease him while he talks about how colorful his soulmate is, he mentioned some colors like "Yellow" "Pink" "Red" I listened with eagerness even though I didn't even know what those colors look like.
