“Mommy, mommy!! Tell us a tale!” The Queen beamed as she strolled into her children’s impressive boudoir, made out of only the finest, most exquisite elements. “What tale would you like to hear tonight, my dears?” The children glance at each other and snicker slightly, “Tell us how you became Queen!!” The Queen raises her eyebrows in shock, “Why would you want to learn about that? I see my busy bees have been doing their research about the monarchy?” The Queen reaches over and ruffles their hair up. “Mhm!” They reply, smiles bright on their faces. “Okay, my little smart cookies. I’ll tell the tale. Our tale begins in March of 1895, the Queen had just thrown a big birthday ball for her only son weeks before…”

The ball was magnificent and festive, striking colors all throughout. And the birthday boy, Prince Johnny J. Suh, clad in the fanciest royal suit anyone had ever seen! He looked dashing, breathtaking even, all of the princesses from different areas wanted him. Yet, he rejected them all. He yearned for a soulmate, a lover, someone to deeply connect with, not some stuck up princess who only wanted him for his dashing looks and riches. He simply refused to dance with anyone and kept to himself the entire night, his night.

Towards midnight, when all of the evil stepsisters had gone to wipe off their hideous makeup and abuse their Cinderella at home, the Queen furiously stalked up to her son, and she slapped him. “What the hell is wrong with you? Johnny J. Suh, I did not raise you to turn down such beautiful women a chance to become your Queen! How am I supposed to trust that you’ll rule our land well when you’re father and I are gone?” He looked down at his feet and quietly grumbled, “It’s not like you really raised me at all.” The Queen almost missed his snarkiness with how quiet he was. Almost. “What did you just say to me? Do not ever disrespect me again, boy, or so help me God-” He grimaced and held his hands protectively in front of his face in annoyance. “I got it, Ma, never disrespect the Queen.. yada yada.” He walked away, getting in the horse carriage designed to take him home. He looked at his mother one last time, who looked at him with swirls of disappointment in her brown eyes, and the horse rode off into the night sky.

You didn't have time to be concerned with soulmate things. It was your final semester in college and that meant crunch time. But rest of your friends had their soulmate mark and were anxious for you to get yours. You, on the other hand, were not because a soulmate meant time away from studying for your final exams and your medical school entrance exams. You mean you did want one but you've accepted that right now was probably not the best time.

"So... anything today?" Your friend Maeve asked. She had gotten her soulmate mark 2 years ago during your sophomore year. It was their first words, tattooed down her right thigh in beautiful script. Her soulmate was a cute human being from a few countries away whom she fatefully met when the both of them were on a volunteer trip that combined groups from different schools.

You look up from your notebook and pull your glasses off the top of your head, settling them back on the bridge of your nose. "Nope and I still don't care right now." You give her a look.

She sighs and runs her hands through her hair. "I know. I know. I'm just concerned. Maybe if you had a soulmate you'd take better care of yourself. Like they could help you relax and stop studying so much because you clearly do not listen to me." You put your notebook down with a sigh and look at your best friend.

"Don't worry about me. I'm fine. Really, I promise. Besides what if I'm one of those few who don't have a soulmate?" You lean back in your chair and cross your arms across your chest.

Maeve leans forward, "I don't believe you. And I highly doubt that. That like never happens and we're still young. They're out there, somewhere."

You give her a soft reassuring smile. "I love you Maeve but you're more concerned than I am. You worry too much about it."

Glancing at your watch, you see there's a few minutes before your next class starts. "Shit Maeve, I've gotta run. Anatomy starts in like 5 minutes." You quickly pack up all your stuff and book it to the science hall.

Breathless, you slide into your seat with 2 minutes to spare. Pulling out your notebook and pencil, you wait for the professor to begin their lecture.

After class, you head back to your dorm apartment to study for the Anatomy test you have tomorrow. You like anatomy but there's so much memorization and awkward wording of everything in the body. As the hours grow late, you get more and more worried about the test. You try to concentrate harder despite your need to sleep and the bobbing of your tired head.

"I've been trying to keep it in so I don't bother you but I just can't anymore. Stop worrying about the test. I've learned more from listening to you studying than I have all semester. It'll be fine. You need to go to sleep." A voice says.

Your head snaps up and you look around your room. There's no one in the room except you. But you swore you heard a voice. "Who's there?" You quietly ask the darkness. There's no reply back. You rub your eyes and go back to studying, a bit unnerved.

You wake up with your cheek stuck to your anatomy book and your eyes heavy with sleep. Stretching, you look around glancing at the clock. Then it sinks in and you bolt up, spine stiff. Dread pools in your stomach. 

It's three in the afternoon.

Your anatomy class was at noon. 

You missed it. You missed the test.

Standing up abruptly, you knock over your chair and grip your head. "Oh my God, oh my god, oh my god. I missed the test! I can't believe I fell asleep! What do I do!?" You freak out. You prided yourself on never missing a class, but now that record was ruined.

Your heart races, beating loud in your ears, and your breathing becomes shallow like you've just ran a marathon.

"Hey hey hey... it's alright. It’s alright." A soothing deep voice says in your head. "Just email your professor and say you got sick." 

Then an equaling calming feeling suddenly washes over you like someone wrapping their arms around you and envelops you. It calms your racing thoughts a bit. You feel as though there's a gentle presence with you even though you are all alone in your room.

"H-hello?" You say softly out loud, heart still pounding in your ears.

"Hi. Do you feel better?" The voice says again in your head.

"A little but I'm confused..." You say out loud again.

"Oh my goodness, I didn't even introduce myself. I'm Johnny." The voice says. "I'm your soulmate and I think we can communicate by thoughts and maybe feelings too."

Your jaw drops and everything goes silent for a minute. "S-soulmate? I didn't think I had one..." You think, feeling weird like as if you're talking to yourself.

"Oh I know me too. But here we are. So soulmate do you have a name or do I think of a cute nickname for you?" The voice says lightly. You can practically hear his teasing tone.

"O-oh I'm sorry. I'm Y/N." You respond. You can feel something tighten in your mind, almost like a bond that snaps into place.

Through that bond, you can feel his smile and an appreciative rumble. "Hmm Y/N. That's a pretty name." He says again in that deep voice, making you blush and get all warm. It's such an odd yet automatic reaction.

You touch your cheeks and try to will it down, as if he can see you blushing. "T-thanks." You say softly down the bond. Then something hits you. "Johnny..." You say testing his name out. "Was that you last night who told me to stop worrying about my test?"

You hear an adorable laugh come down the bond. "Yeah that was me. Sorry for scaring you. I was going to wait until you had a breather to let you know I was here but you were studying so hard last night and all those thoughts were getting blasted into my head so I couldn't sleep. Plus it was late and you needed to sleep too."

"Ahh...I see. Well thank you I guess." You say gently, nodding. 

Johnny laughs a little again at your gentleness. "That's alright. I'm glad I got to meet you now though instead of just awkwardly lurking and listening but never saying anything." He admits.

"What do you mean?" You ask.

"Our soulmate bond actually happened a while ago like a few months ago. But I was nervous to talk to you and then I gathered that you were a medical kid and going into exams based off your thoughts so I didn't want to bother you so you could study without distractions..." He trails off, getting shy now.

Now you giggle softly. "He's sweet." You think to yourself, hoping he can't hear your every thought. Then you remember your missed test and the anxiety sweeps back through you. But Johnny's words come back to you. So you pull out your computer and compose an email to your professor, saying you were sick and asking if you could retake the test at a later date. Once that was done, you felt a little better.

Your mind was awfully quiet now that Johnny seemed to have gone away for a little bit. It was weird, you had gone all your life without someone else in your head and now that there was, it was empty without him. Like you could feel an emptiness now. 

Was this was it feels like to have a soulmate?

You send a thought to Johnny wondering where he went. "So what do we now..?" You ask him.

You feel his presence pop back in. "Oh sorry, I had to take care of something...Well we could talk about ourselves. Get to know one another." He suggested. You nodded, "Yeah that's a good idea."

Johnny then started to tell you some about himself. "Well umm.. I'm an only child, my favorite color is blue, watermelon is my favorite fruit, I'm an Aquarius, my friends say I tell bad jokes but I think I'm funny." He laughs a little at that but then continues on, "And umm... I like to play volleyball. I live and go to college in Chicago. I'm like 6'1"ish... Oh and I can finish a whole large pizza by myself!"

You get bombarded with all these little facts about your soulmate and it's honestly adorable how much he likes to talk. You could listen to his voice forever. So that's what you do. You just listen as Johnny talks.

Johnny realizes you've been quiet for a while and how long he’s been talking. "Oh I'm so sorry Y/N, I have a bad habit of just talking and talking. I'll stop now, tell me about you." You can feel his embarrassment down the bond. You laugh a little, sending the twinkling feeling down the bond where it hits straight into Johnny's heart. 

"Oh my god her laugh is adorable." He thinks to himself, face growing warm.

"No, no it's alright, I like listening. And you have a nice voice. Like a radio or a talk show host voice." You tell him, breaking through his thought and pulling him back into your conversation. 

Johnny was glad you can't see him right now because he was blushing hardcore. First your laugh, now you calling his voice cute. He holds his cheeks in his hands, feeling them burning.

You take his silence as your cue to speak so you begin to tell him about yourself. You talk about your family, your favorite color, your favorite foods, and your hobbies.

For hours you two talk and talk about everything and anything under the sun. You wanted to never stop talking to him. But then he had to go. "Hey Y/N I would love to talk forever with you but I have to get to bed." He says regretfully.

You feel a pang of something in your heart but you understand. "That's alright. You need to sleep. Oh but I won't wake you right with my thoughts? Like what happened last night." You ask concerned since you don't know how complex your soulmate bond is.

You hear Johnny's chuckling. "No babe you won't wake me. If you direct your thoughts at me, that's when I can hear you. I can't hear your every thought but I think I heard those thoughts yesterday because you were freaking out and concentrating so hard so for some reason I could hear them. That’s how I could hear your thoughts a few months ago." He explains.

"Ah okay, I'll try not to freak out or concentrate so hard to wake you...Sleep well Johnny." You tell him as he goes silent in your mind.

You don't even register that he called you babe until after you can feel his presence is gone, leaving you feeling empty again. "H-he called me babe..." And oddly enough, it didn't weird you out. It felt like it just naturally rolled off his tongue without a second thought. You realized you loved the sound of it.

The sound of your phone ringing breaks your attention away from the words of your soulmate. You snatch up your phone and look at the caller id. It was Maeve. You slid the green phone icon over, connecting the call.

"Yo Y/N, I'm hungry let's go get dinner." Maeve's voice floats out of your phone speakers.

"Okay, I'm in my room. I'll be down in a few. Oh and I've got to tell you something too!" You can barely keep your excitement about Johnny in as you get around for dinner.

"Oh really?" You can practically hear Maeve's eyebrow raise.

"Yeah..." You giggle.

"Well hurry up and you can tell me. I'm already in the lobby." A hangry Maeve says.

"I'm coming, I'm coming." You tell her, trying not to be slow when she's hangry.

Soon after you end the call with a hangry Maeve, you meet up in the lobby and go to dinner. At dinner you spill your secret, unable to keep it in. There’s a huge smile on your face. 

"WHAT!?" Maeve yells loudly and slams her hands on the table. "Is that why you've been ignoring my texts all day?"

You smile again, "I'm sorry Maeve... it's just so weird to have a soulmate now. I thought I was going to be alone forever... but now all I want to do is talk to him all day."

Maeve rolls her eyes. "Says the one who was so against having a soulmate. Now you see what I've been trying to tell you!" Your best friend smiles big back at you. "I'm so happy for you Y/N."

You roll over and hear a soft sigh. "Hmmm..."

Brushing your hair from your eyes, you see Johnny smiling softly down at you. He gives you a soft morning peck.

You smile back and deepen the peck, moving so your knees are on either side of his thighs.

Your hands snake up his sides until they rest in his fluffy sleep mussed hair, threading through the black strands.

You pull back softly and rest your forehead on his. His hands creep up to your waist and he pulls you in close. "Well good morning." He says breathless from the kiss.

You chuckle and slide off him. He flips over onto his side and props his head up on his palm. "I could wake up like that every morning and never get sick of it."

You roll your eyes and push his arm. "Oh stop."

He laughs, showing his white smile.

"Never." He whispers while leaning in to kiss you again. You lean in to meet him, eager for another kiss.

When your lips meet it's like the first time all over again. Kissing Johnny is different every time but in a good way.

His lips move against yours, claiming them, while he rolls over on top of you. His arms are on either side of your head, blocking you in using his body and propping him up.

Then he moves from your lips to down your neck, so slowly with light kisses that tickle you, sending goosebumps running all down your limbs.

You arch up against him, trying to get as close as possible to him. He groans softly and nuzzles against your neck.

His warm breath sends more goosebumps down your spine.

You feel his chest pressing against yours, taking deep breaths. He sighs against your neck, making your hair flutter slightly.

Picking his head up, Johnny looks at you, cheeks flushed pink. "Hi." He says softly.

"Hi." You whisper back.

He smiles lazily before removing his body off of yours and lays next to you.

You smile back and get the urge to kiss him again. It was addicting.

"If you keep looking at me like that, we're never going to be able to leave this bed." He says in a husky voice while leaning into you.

"That doesn't sound so bad..." You murmur against his lips, taking his face in your hands.

He hums softly. "I know but we need to go make a quick errand since I forgot to wrap your Christmas present..." He admits against your lips.

You laugh, the sound vibrating through him.

"I'm not surprised."

Johnny gasps playfully, pulling away to look at you.

"What makes you say that?!"

You laugh at your soulmate.

"I mean," You say leaning into him again, "with me coming here and with school, it makes sense you forgot." You finish the sentence by sealing your lips against his.

He hums against them in agreement and gently pulls your bottom lip in, deepening the kiss.

Your fingers ghost up the side of his face, feeling his strong jaw and prickly skin of his unshaven cheeks, up to the back of his neck and the soft hair there.

Johnny's hand to cup your cheek gently.

A few more moments pass before the need for air becomes overwhelming and you pull apart.

Johnny puts his forehead to yours and closes his eyes. He sighs and smiles. "What am I gonna do with you? You make it so hard to stop kissing you."

You giggle and your lashes brush again his skin, sending a shiver down his spine.

Pulling back, you slide off the bed and onto your feet. Padding into the bathroom, you get ready as Johnny does in his bedroom.

Once finally ready and full from breakfast, you two head off to Target to get wrapping paper.

Johnny hands you his phone and gives you control of the aux cord. "Go crazy." He says with a wink.

You laugh and wrack your brain for a song. Then one comes to you. You quickly type it in and press play before smiling big at Johnny.

"If you don't know this I'm going to be disappointed." You tell him.

He glances over at you. "Now I'm nervous!" 

The song begins to pour out of the speaker, the beat taking off.

Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo

Johnny turns to you eyes wide. "Omg is this?..."

You put a finger to your lips and sing the opening lines with Taeyang and G-Dragon.

Johnny smiles big and sings along with you.

Then the chorus hits and you both go crazy and jam out.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! Ppangya ppangya ppangya BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! Ppangya ppangya ppangya

You start to do the choreo in your seat while Johnny moves his body as best as he can while driving.

Throwing your head back, you start laughing. Big body shaking laughs. You couldn't help it but Johnny looked so funny jamming out in his seat while trying to be a safe driver.

"Y-you're..,” You gasp,”the c-cutest." You try to get out between gasps of breaths and the tears coming out of your eyes.

He looks over at you and flashes you a smile. "Thanks babe."

---------------------------------------------

Pretty soon you arrive at Target and you head inside to find wrapping paper for your own present. The irony of it all.

Johnny takes your hand and begins to wander down each aisle with you, oblivious to the signs of where things are.

"Hey babe can you go grab me some tape while I go look for the paper?" He turns to you.

You nod and let go of his hand. "Sure."

You easily find the tape and make your way to the wrapping paper. Out of the corner of your eye though, you see the color of Johnny's coat flash in and out of sight. Curious, you walk over to where you saw him.

Turning the corner, you see the flash of his coat again and his black hair. "Johnny?" You softly call out, not wanting to call attention to yourself.

No answer.

"Johnny?" You try next calling out down the bond.

"Can't hear youuuu~." He says back and you head him giggling.

You huff out loud and roll your eyes. "Are you hiding from me?"

You hear more laughter rolling down the bond. "Maybeee~."

Sensing motion, you snap your head to the side and see Johnny dart into another aisle. "Found you!" You shout down the bond and take off after him.

It surprised you at how well he got away from you considering how tall of a dude he was. But eventually you caught him.

"Got...got you." You gasped out of breath. Johnny's chest heaved too.

"Took...took you long enough." He teases. You hit his chest and glare at him playfully. Laughing, he pulls you close.

You prop your chin on his chest and look up at him. Your eyes go to his lips. Unsurprisingly, you wanted to kiss him again.

You push up to your tiptoe but its still not enough. Was he always this tall?

Johnny notices you struggling to kiss him. "You're almost there babe." He teases, those beautiful eyes crinkling at the corners like how you love.

You huff and try to push up further on your tiptoes. Your hands grip his shoulders, trying to give you leverage.

Like the brat he is, Johnny takes one of your fingers and taps his lips with it. "My lips are up here." Yet he continues to stand tall despite you trying to pull him down to you.

Eventually, he feels bad for you and leans down some. His lips meet yours finally in a deep kiss in the middle of Target, to make up for his teasing.

He pulls away with a smile while you hit him again. "Oh my God you're so annoying."

He laughs and squeezes you tight. "But you love me Y/N."

You roll your eyes again and he taps you in the head with a roll of wrapping paper. "By the way I got the paper!"

You grab at the roll of paper, wanting to use it to hit him.  But like the evil tease he is, Johnny  raises his arm high, keeping the paper out of your reach.

He begins to laugh at your weak jumping attempts, hands splayed trying to grab at the paper.

Eventually you just give up. Johnny laughs again at you and gives you a kiss on the head before going to pay for the tape and paper.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back at Johnny's house, you lounge on his bed while he wraps your present in his bathroom so you couldn't peek.

His present sits next to you, all wrapped and ready with a blue bow on top.

You were excited to give him his gift ever since you'd bought it.

It was a Polaroid camera. A simple white camera but once you saw it you knew you had to get it for him. You had also bought him extra film for it. Which was smart of you considering the amount of pictures he took.

You shiver slightly from being outside and rub your arms, attempting to warm up quicker. Then you get a great idea and your lips curl up evilly.

"Now where were his sweatshirts?" You think to yourself, looking around his room. Luckily he left one out on his desk chair. It was the black one he wore from your first night here.

You reach over and slip it on. It was huge on you. You were swimming in it, but you loved it. It was also soft like really soft.

You snuggled up in it, pulling the hood over your head and the front of the sweatshirt up to your nose. It smelled like him. Minty and earthy with a little musk.

You were mid another big sniff when Johnny opened up the bathroom door with your present hidden behind his back. At first he didn't notice you in his sweatshirt until he got closer to the bed.

"Is that my...?"

"Yep!" You say from the cocoon of his large hoodie, your face the only thing peeking out.

He smiles that dazzling smile and laughs.

"Wow you move quick. Already taking my clothes." Then he plops down on the bed, flailing out next to you.

You scrunch your nose and try to push him off the bed.

"I got cold!" You try to defend yourself. "By the way, why is it so soft? What is it made out of?"

Johnny gives you an evil smirk and an eyebrow quirk.

"Boyfriend material." He says without missing a beat.

"Oh my God you did not." You throw your face in your hands, exasperated.

Johnny just laughs at your reaction and clutches his stomach.

"I'm sorry babe. I had to! It was just too good of a moment to pass up!"

"I hate you."  You chuckle in between your fingers.

"I love you too." He responds reaching up to pull your hands away from your face.

You just shake your head at him and he removes your hands from your face.

"I'm going to spend forever with a dork." You sigh teasingly.

Johnny laughs some more. "But a cute, loveable, funny dork." The corner of his eyes crinkle as he smiles at you.

You lean down lips curled into a soft smile. "That is true. My cute, loveable, funny dork."

Johnny leans up to meet you in a chaste kiss.

You give him a little peck back before reclining back on the bed pillows.

His present digs into your back. "Oh your present!" You pull out the box and hand it to him, giddily watching him.

He tears through the paper and looks at the writing on the front of the box.

"Oh my god, you didn't did you!?" His head whips up at you, eyes shining like a little boy.

You shrug. "I dunno. Keep opening it up."

He continues to tear through the package and pulls out the white Polaroid camera.

"Y/N... I love it so much..." He turns it over and over, running his long fingers gently across the surface.

Out of the corner of your eye, the blue bow from the top of Johhny's present catches your eye. You reach for it and put it on top of your head.

"Hey Johnny," You say to get his attention. He looks up from his camera, "Look, I'm your present." You give him a silly grin, your turn to be cheesy. He smiles back at you.

"And my future."

Oof that hit you right in your feels. Then the bright light of the flash goes off.

"Hey! Did you take a picture of me?" You demand as your soulmate grins at you while flapping a Polaroid to develop it.

"Maybeeee... I had to test it out and you look so cute right now." He smiles at you with that heart melting charm of his.

You smile back and laugh. "You're lucky I love you." You mumble softly.

"I know.." He says softly back, pulling you close. "Soooo, do you want your Christmas present?"

You sit up quickly and give your soulmate a charming smile. "Of course." You say before moving away from him so you have space to open up his gift.

He smiles back at you.

"So I really hope you like it... I don't know if it's cheesy or not but I was like what do I get for the girl who is perfect in every way but then I was talking to Eomma and she said since you're a medical student you need to take care of yourself and... oh... I just ruined the surprise..."

His cheeks grow red and he looks away from you as he hands you a wrapped box. You smile and laugh at him.

"I will love anything you give me."  You say as you gently rip off the wrapping paper and open up the box. You begin to pull out each item as he sits close and watches you intently.

You pull out the first item, a light green candle. You unscrew the top and smell it.

"Eucalyptus is supposed to help with stress relief..." Johnny narrates as you continue to go through things.

Next thing is a pair of pale pink polka dotted fuzzy socks. You rub the socks against your face because they are so freakin' soft.

"Fuzzy socks for when it's cold and you're studying to keep your feet warm and promote circulation..." He rambles off, ears growing red as his eyes dart up to meet yours then back down to his bedspread.

He really put a lot of thought into each item. Your heart swells has you reach back into the box.

You pull out a ton of your favorite chocolates with colored sticky notes on them. Each sticky note had a different motivational saying or a sweet something from Johnny in his handwriting.

"For your sweet tooth and to keep you motivated..." He now is rubbing the back of his neck in embarrassment for how cheesy everything is getting. You love it though.

You look a little closer at some of the chocolates. There was a ton of sticky notes. He painstakingly wrote out all of them. It must have taken him hours. Your eyes begin to water with how sweet your soulmate is to you.

You sniff a little and go onto the next thing.

It was a big black t-shirt and a grey hoodie. The smell of his cologne wafted up at you. You hug the clothes.

"For when you miss me and I can't be there...it's an old t-shirt and hoodie of mine..." He picks at the bedspread, cheeks and ears bright red. You smile at his reaction. Your soulmate who loved to make you a red mess was a red blushing mess himself.

You gently set the clothes aside and reach inside for the last thing. It was heavy and took two hands to pull out.

It was a dark navy blue weighted blanket. You had always wanted one but they were too expensive for your college student budget.

"You had talked about once how you wanted one really badly... I researched them some and it's supposed to help with your anxiety and sleeping problems..." Now he looks up at you, eyes searching your face.

You look at your soulmate, watery eyes spilling over.

Johnny's brow crumples and his eyes get wide. "Oh no...Y/N... I'm so sorry if you don't like something-"

"N-no, it's perfect." You cut him off. "You're perfect. I love it all so much... I'm just really happy right now."  

You rub your eyes with the sleeves of Johnny's black hoodie that you're still wearing. "These are happy tears."  You say with a smile and a sniffle.

Johnny pushes the box and wrapping paper off the bed so he can be closer to you. You crawl into his lap as he wraps his arms around you and pulls you in tight, bundling you up. "I love you so much Y/N. I'm so glad you love it." He whispers while planting a kiss on the top of your head.

Your mom wraps the scarf around your face one more time. "Promise you'll call once you get there? Please?" She reminds you for the hundredth time.

You huff but the sound is muffled by the scarf. "Yes mom I promise I will remember to text you."

"More like I'll remind you to text her." Johnny says lounging in the back of your mind. He was trying to give you some space to say goodbye to your family but he didn't want to fully leave you. Not while you were so close to being with him.

You click your tongue, meaning the sound for Johnny. "Quiet you or else I won't come see you." You tease him.

Johnny lets out a short laugh. "Oh like we both know that's never gonna happen. You won't be able to stay away."

The two weeks at home went by quickly but also dragged on. They were heavy on your heart which was already in Chicago.

But now. Now it was finally time. You were catching a flight to Chicago for 2 weeks before school started again. In a few hours you would finally see your soulmate. Finally be able to hug him, smell him, feel him. And kiss him.

Your mom gives you one last hug. "I love you Y/N. Have a good time with Johnny. I also expect to see pictures." She pats your cheek lovingly.

You smile back at her. "I will momma. And I love you too. Be safe going home." She nods and gestures for you to go into security.

You wave goodbye until she can't see you anymore.

Your pulse quickens once you get through security and are walking to your gate. "Omg this is really happening. I'm really going to Chicago. I'm really gonna see Johnny."

"Are you at your gate?" Johnny pops back in, breaking your train of thought.

"Uh..ah yeah. Yeah I am. I'm just waiting to board right now."

"Are you good baby? You sound off." Concern shows through in Johnny's voice. "Are you afraid of flying? I can talk to you the whole time so you don't think about it if you want."

You smile softly. "Aww you're so sweet love. But no I'm alright, I'm just nervous. And excited."

Johnny laughs softly. A warm sound filling your ears. "There's nothing to be nervous about baby. But I know it is a bit nerve wracking. But how do you think I feel? I don't even know who to look for! I'll just keep yelling for you and embarrass you."

You laugh at him now. "Oh you'll know. I promise. But you better not yell for me! I'll just hide from you then!"

Johnny's laughter fills your head again. "Yah that's mean Y/N!" You laugh with him and then the voice goes off saying your zone is boarding.

"AH! I'm boarding now!" You say while packing your things up and pulling out your boarding pass.

"I'll be waiting for you. Are you going to stay up on the plane or are you going to sleep?" Johnny asks.

You hand the lady your boarding pass. "I'm probably going to try to sleep since I'm tired and had to wake up early."

Johnny hums in understanding. "True since it's nearly impossible for you to wake up in the morning." He laughs again at you since he's the one who sometimes has to wake you up when you ignore your alarm.

"Yah you meanie! That's only been a few times! You better be happy, I don't wake up early for just anyone." You pout as you walk to your seat on the plane.

"I'm kidding, I'm kidding. I love you Y/N and I appreciate you waking up early to come see me. I'll make it up to you. How about that?"

You plop down in your seat and pull out your phone charger and some earbuds. "I guess..." You tease him.

Putting your earbuds in, soon you get sleepy and fall asleep. You wake up to someone shaking your shoulder.

"Miss? Miss, we've landed. You can get off now."

You look around wildly. "Omg I slept through landing and getting off." You look at the flight attendant.

"O-oh thank you. Sorry for sleeping through everything." You say as you get up and grab everything as quick as you can. The flight attendant just nods at you and leads you off the plane.

You stand outside the plane and walk down the chute, clutching your backpack strap. You were here. You were really here in Chicago. After sending a quick text to your mom, you pick up your luggage and head out the gates onto the arrival floor.

Your heart beats loudly and your breathing speeds up as you look around trying to find that shock of fluffy black hair and tall stature in the crowd.

"Babe where are you? Shouldn't your flight have landed by now?" Johnny sends you a thought, sounding worried.

"I'm here. I slept through landing and getting off so I'm a bit behind..." You trail off, straining to see around people.

Johnny sends a short chuckle, "Dang you must have been really tired then."

Then there he is.

There's no denying that's him.

He has on dark jeans with a tri-colored sweater and white sneakers. That black hair is done and swooped back, showing off his forehead. He has this lost expression on his face and his eyes search wildly in the crowds of people.

Your heart is beating so loud, you're surprised he can't hear it.

Wiping your sweaty palms on your pants, you feel rooted to the spot.

"Dang Johnny, you clean up well." You muster up the courage to tease him even though you feel like you're going to throw up because of all the excitement and nerves swirling in your gut.

He stops in his tracks and looks around. Then finally those dark eyes find yours and you feel a spark in air. You smile big at him and drop your backpack at your feet with a soft thud.

Johnny rushes at you and you at him. He scoops you up in a hug, enveloping your body in his. He buries his head into your shoulder.

"Oh my god, it's really you. You're really here. Y-you're even more perfect than I imagined." He breathes out in that deep voice of his.

You just melt into his arms. You're actually hearing his voice out loud and not just in your head. It feels so surreal like a dream.

He sighs and takes a deep breath in, squeezing you even more, trying to get you as close to him as possible. You bury your face into his chest and squeeze him back.

Hugging him was even better than you imagined. Nothing could compare to his hugs now.

Pulling back from you, Johnny gently holds your cheeks in his hands and places a soft kiss on your forehead. You blush and smile up at him.

Now actually looking at him you notice you barely reach up to under his chin. "Good lord he's even taller than I thought." You say in your head.

Johnny laughs out loud. "Yeah I get that a lot." He smiles down at you and once again you melt.

Those eyes twinkle like actual stars and his cheeks smush up when he smiles big, making it your new favorite thing in the world. His smile is so dazzling, no wonder you could feel it across the bond.

"Oh my god you're so cute." You blurt out before slapping a hand over your mouth and closing your eyes in embarrassment.

You hear Johnny's laughter. Even that sounds better in person.

Your cheeks heat up and you become even sweatier because of the embarrassment.

You open up your eyes when you feel Johnny pulling your hand off mouth.

"Thank you babe. You aren't bad looking yourself. I'm glad I can see your cute face now." He gives yoi a little wink and that sends another rush of warmth through your body and into your cheeks and ears.

Johnny pulls himself away from you and reaches down to pick up your backpack and slings it over his broad shoulder. One hand grabs your luggage while the other one reaches for your hand.

He entwines your fingers, his large hand engulfing yours. Then he lifts up your connected hands and places a soft kiss on the back of your hand. More pink splashes across your cheeks and your ears burn red hot.

He flashes you a quick smile before pulling you through the crowd and out to his car.

In the car, you still can't believe you were there with him. All you wanted to do was look at him and catalog every little detail about him. From the way the corner of his eyes crinkle when he smiles down to the veins in his hands and everything else.

Johnny looks at you. "I know, I can't believe it either." He leans in, gaze flicking down to your lips then back up. You lean in too, desperate to finally kiss him.

But then he pulls back abruptly.

"Uh uh uh remember how I was going to make you wait?" He winks again at you. This tease.

You hit his arm, "Really?!"

He laughs and winces as he rubs the spot you hit. "Ow, you've got some power in that swing. I just want to make it special, ya know? Do you trust me Y/N?"

"With my life and heart." You respond back, less angry at him. It was actually really sweet that he wanted to make your first kiss something special.

Johnny starts the car and pulls out onto the busy airport road, taking you to his house.

It was dark by the time you arrived in Chicago. Your face was glued to the window looking at all the lights of the city passing by. It was such a magical and calming sight. Almost whimsical with all the lights and colors.

"Hey love?" You turn back to Johnny.

"Hmm?" Johnny hums, eyes on the road. The street lights outside bounce their light off his hair and his tan skin. Everything this man does is attractive to you, even driving a freaking car. You die a bit inside because of the happiness.

You wake up to the sound of your soulmate's voice and roll over expecting to see him there next to you but he's not. There's a soft pang in your heart again but you push it away.

"Good morning baby. Uh i-is that alright if I call you that?" A deep voice asks softly, hesitantly. 

You giggle softly at Johnny's shy stuttering. "Yeah that's fine. I like it." You smile even though Johnny can't see you.

"Did you sleep well?" He asks you.

"Mmmhmm, I did. How about you...love?" You ask him, testing out a nickname for him.

"Love. She called me love." Johnny almost choked out of surprise on his food when you called him that. His heart fluttered and he smiled like a fool. "I slept good." He takes another bite of food. 

You sit up in bed and stretch, groaning as your muscles pull. Johnny hears you groan and gets concerned. "Are you okay Y/N?" 

You chuckle at the concern in his voice. "Yeah I'm fine. I didn't realize you could hear that. I was just stretching." 

"Oh..." You can hear his embarrassment and you laugh a little more. "You're so cute Johnny." He sends his laughter back down the bond, "Thanks babe. You are too ya know." You shake your head and laugh at him, cheeks growing red. 

Getting out of bed, you narrate your routine to him. "Right now I'm trying to figure out what to wear today. It's getting cold with winter coming in." You stand in your closet with a finger on your lips trying to decide.

 "Hmmm.." Johnny hums in response. "How about something warm?" He makes a smart ass comment. This boy wasted no time getting comfortable with you and you really enjoyed it. It felt easy and natural.

"Well no shit sherlock." You retaliate. Johnny laughs loudly down the bond. "So my soulmate has a fiery streak in her. I like that." You wish he was here so you  could swat him for that. 

"Believe me babe, I wish I was there too." He tells you softly.

 "Wait you heard that?" Your bond continues to surprise you in weird ways.

"Kind of? I heard part of it and felt you wanted me there..." He says. Then he goes silent for a minute. 

"Johnny?" You say his name.

"Come here during Christmas break." He suddenly says, popping back in and startling you. 

"What?" You weren't sure if you heard him right.

"Come here for Christmas break. Come spend a few weeks with me after you see your family obviously."  That sounds so amazing to you. The thought of going to see him pulls at your heart. Now you wish break was sooner. 

"Okay." You say finally

"Awesome." Johnny says in a breathy voice. You can practically see his grin.

 "Are you grinning right now love?" You ask laughing.

 "I am, how did you know?" He asks laughing back with you. 

"I don't know, I could just feel it. It was so bright." You tell him, cheeks turning pink at the soft confession. On the other side of the bond, Johnny's cheeks are doing the same. Both of you are turning into blushing cheesy soft messes because of each other.

 "Oh crap..." Johnny's turn to groan his time. "I have to get going and work on this film project with my group for class. I'll talk to you when I have the chance?" He sounds desperate like he doesn't want to leave you.

 "Yeah that's alright but I don't want to distract you. Besides I'll either be studying or whatever until Maeve drags me to go do something." You give him a little mental shove to get going. 

He laughs. "I like this Maeve. She's good for you. Takes care of you when I can't be around." Johnny confesses before leaving. "I'll be back soon, don't miss me too much." Then he's gone again. 

You roll your eyes at his comment and blush a little. It's still so weird to have a soulmate. Someone who is destined to be with you. You were relieved you won't be alone forever like you thought.

 Despite what you always said to Maeve, you were really worried about if there actually wasn't anyone for you. You never really tried dating, like some of you friends did, because no one interested you. You didn't want to put time and effort into something if you weren't invested. But having Johnny made you feel like this was right. Something just clicked in you and it felt natural. 

You had a few hours until Maeve woke up so you decided to watch some YouTube. You'd hope your favorite YouTuber uploaded today

He was a college student like you who posted vlogs and stuff with his friends since he's a film and photography major. You're not sure where he goes to school since he's really vague about his personal life except for what his major is, which is fine, you totally understand that.

 You scroll through his videos looking for some of your favorite ones. Finding one of your favorites, you click on it and settle back. 

"Hello everyone and welcome to another Johnny's Communication Center! JCC! Today with me I have my international friends, Jungwoo, Yuta, Doyoung, and Taeyong! Woooo~!" A handsome face with black fluffy hair and a gorgeous smile yells excitedly into the camera. 

You smile at the handsome face of John Seo. You loved watching his videos since they were always a nice break from the stress of school and made you laugh at his extraness. His friends were always funny too. They had really good chemistry together.

"Today we have planned another Johnny's Fashion Evaluation but in a special place! We're at the thrift store where we'll have 15 minutes to pick an outfit out for the person I’ve randomly assigned." 

You hear a voice of protest off screen. "Wait but what about you?" It was Doyoung asking when the camera turned to him. John, turning the camera back on himself, places a hand on his chest. "I am the judge for today!"

Rest of the boys give more shouts of protest at that comment. "Fine fine! At the end you all can help put together an outfit for me. Fair?" Then John continues with explaining the game, "So Taeyong is dressing Yuta, Doyoung is dressing Jungwoo, Yuta is dressing Taeyong, and Jungwoo is dressing Doyoung! Is everyone ready?"

The camera pans to the boys shouting and getting ready by doing ridiculous things like stretching excessively. "Ready, start!" The 4 boys then run off into the clothes racks. It's a mad house with them dashing to and from with clothes in their arms and quickly looking through things.

John takes you along, stopping by each boy and asking what their concept is.

"Desert." Taeyong says for Yuta.

"Mmmm, I think Mafia." Yuta says for Taeyong's concept.

"How about you for dressing Jungwoo, Doyoung?" John asks the brown-haired boy.

"Beachwear look." Doyoung responds back.

Then John finds a very confused looking Jungwoo. "And you Jungwoo? How are you dressing Doyoung?" 

"Aquarium!" He responds back.

"What?" A now confused John asks his blonde-haired friend. "Like blues?"

Jungwoo just shrugs his shoulders and nods.

You laugh at the John-Jungwoo exchange. He was one of John's funniest friends because he sometimes lost his head in the clouds. 

John walks around again to see what each friend has gotten. Jungwoo shows off a blue ombre jacket he found for Doyoung.

"Under the sea~ Under the sea~" the blonde-haired cutie starts singing randomly making John burst into laughter and you too.  

"It would be fun to hang out with them. They seem like fun." You think to yourself.

"Who seems fun?" A familiar voice pops back into your head.

"Ah! Johnny! You're back!" Your heart flutters with your soulmate being back. "I was just watching my favorite YouTuber to pass the time. He and his friends seem like a lot of fun. Today I was watching him do a fashion evaluation on his friends and it was funny."

"What's the YouTuber's name?" He asks.

"John Seo but he goes by Johnny. Well at least he does for his fashion evaluation stuff and his communication episodes." You respond back.

"Ahhh... He sounds like an interesting guy. Is he cute?" Johnny teases you.

Now you really wish he was there so you could hit him. "I mean he is handsome. He has a really nice smile and fluffy hair. But that doesn't mean anything to me." You say to make sure Johnny doesn't get jealous.

"Ohhh I seeee." Johnny laughs at your comment and your face gets a little warm in embarrassment.

"Oh hey does he happen to have friends named Doyoung, Yuta, Jungwoo, and Taeyong?" He asks you out of the blue.

You gasp. "Yeah! He does! How did you know that? I thought you said you didn't know who he was?"

Johnny started to laugh a lot at your comment. "Oh I know him REALLY well Y/N." His laughter continues to bounce around in your ears.

"Wait you do!? How?!" You are getting more and more confused by each passing moment.

"WHAT!"  Is all you can get out, mind blown.

That handsome face with plump lips, amazing hair, and a gorgeous smile was your soulmate? How had you not noticed the similarities in his voice or the fact that his name is also Johnny?

"Don't beat yourself but about that babe, Johnny is commonish. But I'm VERY happy that I hold the title of your soulmate and your favorite YouTuber." He gloats and teases you again.

You bury your face in your hands.

Johnny laughs some more. "I can feel your embarrassment all the way over here. It's alright babe!"

You shake your head at your soulmate. "At least now I don't feel bad for finding him attractive and telling you that." You laugh with Johnny at that comment.

"But you know what?”

“Hmmm?” You murmur softly. 

 “Now you know what I look like but I still don't know what you look like Y/N. Can I see you baby? Please?" He says in a soft voice, making it sound like he's whispering in your ear. 

You get an evil idea. Johnny loves to tease you but now it's your turn. Confidently you say, "Hmmmm...maybe. Oorrr I may make you wait."

You hear Johnny groan and change his tone. "Awwww babyyy really? Whyyyyy~?" He's trying to sound all cute to get you to change your mind.

Not gonna happen.

You laugh a little at your soulmate's fake pain. "Because as the saying goes 'All good things come to those who wait'. So Johnny Seo, you are going to wait." You tease him with another laugh. You can hear him chuckling lightly through the bond at your cleverness.

"Y/N, Y/N, Y/N. What am I going to do with you?" He sighs deeply. "Alright, alright. I'll wait but then I'm gonna make you wait too then." This catches your attention.

"Oh really? What am I going to have to wait on, love?" You're curious and intrigued by what he could mean.

"You'll just have to wait and see babe. As this adorably wise cute girl once said, 'All good things come to those who wait.'." Now he sends an evil laugh down the bond which just makes you laugh more at him.

You glance back at the YouTube video you were watching. John- no, Johnny is looking at the camera with an expression that says "Are you freakin kidding me?" You had gotten to the point where the boys were picking out on-screen Johnny's outfit before your Johnny interrupted. You bet Johnny was wearing that same expression when you told him he's going to have to wait.

You squeezed the pillow you were holding and squealed a little. You still couldn't believe that John Seo, your favorite YouTuber, was your soulmate but you also couldn't believe you went through with your little evil idea. It was very unlike you to "play hard to get" because you've never had to before. Since you didn’t really date but there was just something about Johnny that made this mischievous streak come out. It was like you two fed off of each other. It was addictive. 

"I wish Christmas break was here..." Johnny suddenly says softly in your head, his voice a bit deeper with the drop in volume.

You roll over onto your back with the pillow to your chest, hugging it. You sigh out loud. "Me too love, me too. But it'll be here soon, before we know it." You try to be positive even though all you want right now is to see your soulmate in the flesh and be hugging him instead of this pillow.

"I know... it's just harder now that I talk to you because all I want to do is see you and hug you and hear your voice in person and-" Johnny stops rambling abruptly.

"And what?" You prod him to finish his sentence.

"A-and to kiss you..." He says in the softest voice ever, so soft you can barely hear him but it was loud enough you could hear those words. Your heart skips a beat and you can feel your body temperature rising. You hadn't thought about kissing Johnny before but you most definitely were now.

"I-if that's okay...b-but I can wait if it's not. I like waiting. I'm good at waiting..." Johnny continues to ramble on. You noticed he does when he gets nervous. "Waiting is oka-"

"Johnny." You say, cutting him off mid-freak out. "I-i want to kiss you too..." You confess to him as you smash your face into the pillow even though he can't see your crimson red cheeks.

"Y-you do?" A soft stuttering reply comes back.

You pick up your head and nod, forgetting he can't actually see you. "Y-yeah I do.." Squeezing the pillow tight again, you try to get a hold on your thundering heart before it runs away to Chicago and leaves you behind.

Johnny throws his head back and groans, gripping his hair with both hands. "Ughh babe, you have no idea how bad I want to hold you and kiss you and cuddle you now... like I wanted to a lot before but now... now it's all I can think about..." You feel a jolt of carnal need come down the bond. It buries itself deep in your heart, making it race faster.

Your face grows impossibly more red and you feel as though you're dying. Dying of happiness and the heat building up in your body. Your heart is definitely not settling down and is beating impossibly loud in your ears."T-that all sounds nice... like really nice.."

"You think so?" Johnny smiles softly despite you not being able to see him. "I can't wait until break." He repeats again. "I know I keep saying it and I know it's bad to wish time away but I just want you in my arms as soon as possible."

You hum softly in agreement. "Mmm me too..." You smile softly and close your eyes, holding your pillow to your chest, imagining how it would be like to be held by Johnny. From his videos he seems lean but strong. You think he would hold you tight but also gently, like something delicate he wants to protect but close enough that your body would mold to his, like a final puzzle piece clicking in place. You imagine he smells great too. Like minty toothpaste with earthy tones like pine or sandalwood. You sigh deeply, once again wishing he was there next to you.

"Hey Y/N..." Johnny speaks again, pulling you out of your imagination.

"Yeah?.."

"So um.. I'm not sure if this is too soon b-but I don't want you to feel like you need to say it back but um...I feel like I need to say this like it feels like it's bursting out of me and...and-"

You push him a little. "Yeah?..."

"Okay, I-uh..I love you Y/N. Like a lot."
