Relationship: Wolf keum/reader
Tags: Soulmate AU, a very bad attempt at humor.
Soulmates. Two souls having a special, magical bond which even science couldn't explain. It was a really extraordinary phenomenon yet the most ordinary one. Everyone had a soulmate. Having a soulmate wasn't anything special, meeting them and actually bonding with them as a person, was.
You always thought that it was the most beautiful phenomenon in this world. Having someone special out their waiting for you. Once you meet them you'd never feel empty or lonely again. Or so you thought as a 5 year old. Right now? At age 16? Things were a lot different. The world wasn't as simple as it had seemed to your 5 year old self.
You now understood that just meeting your soulmate wouldn't just magically make you two fall in love. Many people thought that the idea of soulmates was extremely absurd and impractical. The universe doesn't get to decide who you should love and who you shouldn't. And you agreed with these ideas. It really was constraining to have the "love of your life" already decided by some unknown force.
Despite all these thoughts you still, at the very least, wanted to meet your soulmate. The same couldn't be said for your soulmate though. If the words on your right arm are anything to go by, your soulmate isn't exactly gonna be thrilled to meet you.
You really need to stop the monologs and focus on what your English teacher is babbl- teaching. You were not really a modal student huh?
The bell finally rings after what seems like 5 centuries and you're free to go home and play with your grumpy ass cat who never really seems thrilled to have you around, but you still love annoying the little gremlin. Gremlin was a unique purple colored Persian cat. You named him Gremlin because he just loves to destroy all your clothes.
Oh well, atleast having Gremlin means you can't really throw your clothes around and make a mess.
You were so immersed in your thoughts that you didn't look around while turning the corner and-
You go tumbling down your ass in the middle of the street on the cold concrete and ouch that hurts!! You look up with a scowl, ready to cuss the fuck out of the person who bumped into you but at the last moment the curses die in your mouth when you see the stranger and-
"OMG Your hair looks just like Gremlin's!!!"
The guy, for a second, looks somewhat confused and annoyed at that exclaimation. After a second his expression changes from annoyed to shocked.
You quickly clamp a hand on your mouth and curse at yourself. Way to make a first impression on a handsome guy.
"I'm so sorry that's not what I meant!! Um..you see Gremlin is actually my cat's name and your hair just looks so similar to his fur that I just..blurted out...the first thing that came into my mind and I just-"
Wait. You spring to your feet and scowl at the very good looking stranger.
"I'm not the one who's supposed to be apologizing right now since you're the one who bumped into me first! You should apologize to me instead since if you hadn't bumped into me then I wouldn't have even noticed you or called you Gremlin. So, I'm waiting, you can apologize now."
Throughout your speech the (hot) stranger's expression went from shocked to surprised to flat.
And now there you are, scowling with your arms folded, waiting for your apology that doesn't seem like it's coming.
The words that leave that stranger's mouth are the last thing you expected.
"I've only known you for 3 minutes and I'm convinced that you're the most annoying person on this planet" says the stranger with the flattest expression you've ever seen.
Now it's your turn to turn blue from shock with your eyes wide open.
You had always wondered why and how could anyone ever think you were the most annoying person in the world after knowing you for 3 minutes. You'd always thought it was kind of unfair of your soulmate to make such a proclamation. But now, you definitely understood why or how anyone could say that.
You definitely deserved that title because
1) You were the one who was in their own mind and bumped into him.
2) You went ahead and called him Gremlin and started reprimanding him while telling him to apologize to you.
And he turns out to be your soulmate??? Which means that he has those cursed words etched into his body since forever and for forever...
Haha...way to make a first impression...You had never hated your damn mood swings more than you did now. Sigh.
Wolf keum was a dark horse. He did whatever the fuck he wanted and those that tried getting in his way had to pay a price. He didn't like following rules or being oppressed or controlled by anyone.
So, expectedly, he hated the concept of soulmates. Wolf was never much of a romantic person so the idea of having his other half decided by some other worldly entity didn't please him at all.
And if the words on his arm were anything to go by, his was going to be an exceptionally annoying being.
Wolf was already pissed at Donald fucking Na acting like he was at the top of the fucking world. He was pissed and tired of Donald's bullshit. He just wanted to get some sleep at this point; so when someone ran into him on the street, he was ready to make quick work of this fucker and just go home and sleep.
"OMG Your hair looks just like Gremlin's ", the stranger said. After hearing those words, Wolf was ready to just keep walking like nothing happened. He was not prepared for this and definitely didn't have the energy to deal with this stupid person who went on babbling like a bafoon and asking him to apologize. He then and there decided that he had somehow landed the most annoying person (maybe second most annoying, Donald was first) as his soulmate.
This was going to be a pain in the ass.
While Wolf's first impression of his soulmate wasn't very positive, he had to admit that his soulmate at least wasn't a fucking pussy.
Wolf keum. That's the name of your soulmate. It wasn't difficult to find that out since wolf seems to be very infamous in your neighborhood. He was a delinquent. Wow. Your soulmate was a delinquent. You didn't know what to make of that. It didn't really bother you as much as it clearly should have.
He was definitely interesting to say the least. He had piqued your interest the moment you laid your eyes on him. Wolf would definitely not want to see you again but you had to at least try to befriend him. Even though it was kinda scary.
That's how you found yourself standing at the front gates of Ganghak high, waiting for a certain hot delinquent to come out. And oop, speak of the devil.
There he was with his resting bitch face looking like he was going to smash your head in the moment you opened your mouth.
"OK listen. I know that we didn't start off that well but hey, isn't it kinda unfair to start judging each other so soon? For all you know we could be really good friends so-"
"-how about you stop judging me off of our first encounter and give me another chance to be your friend!!", you said, with a bright smile, sounding kinda desperate, which you weren't, not really, maybe.
"Fuck off", he said and brushed off your speech like you didn't spend 4 hrs thinking about the right thing to say.
"Get outta my way and remember this; if you show me your face again then I'll beat you up to death."
Just your luck that he seemed to be in an especially bad mood today. Wow.
"Jeez okay okay, I won't bother you again meanie. So much for trying to be friendly" you pouted and started stomping your way to home.
Hmph whatever, if he wants to be a jerk then so be it, you have your little Gremlin; who needs a stupid soulmate.
Even though it was kind of a shame. You were so looking forward to meeting your "other half" or whatever.
Wolf was having a particularly bad day. And as always, the reason was his stupid boss.
And then there was his annoying soulmate.
Though if he was being completely honest about it, he didn't really hate them that much. Sure they were kinda annoying, but in a good way? Is that even possible?
Maybe he felt a little annoyed at himself for reacting the way he did. And maybe he did kinda feel disappointed that he wouldn't see them again.
This is so fucking annoying. This is why he never makes friends, because admittedly, he is kinda bad at it. Like really bad. Ugh.
Wolf was convinced that he was never gonna see his soulmate again. So to say he was surprised by the sticky note on his locker would be an understatement.
Since I have a huge heart, I'm giving you another chance. Don't get ahead of yourself and think that I want a romantic relationship with you. Nuh uh. I've just always been really curious about my soulmate so I'm not gonna just let you go so easily. All I want is for us to be friends. Or at least try? If it doesn't work out then it doesn't! Simple as that! I could introduce you to my cat. He's just like you...um, so yeah, contact me if you want to...or don't, whatever. Also if you don't wanna call me then..well, I've left you a goodbye gift. Though you can keep them if you do decide to text me too!! They'll be helpful.
The most annoying person you know
At the end of the note was a number and on the top of his locker was the so called "goodbye gift". It was bandages, of some pink cat... did they seriously think he was gonna use those? This person was going to be the death of him, in a good way of course.
They really were the most annoying person ever. Though the huge smile he had on his face while reading the letter would say otherwise.
Saying that wolf was relieved to see the letter would be the understatement of the year.
You were really anxious about the outcome that this bold move of yours would have. The guy clearly told you to stay away. But you wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Maybe it was because of the fact that you thought that he was just so much like Gremlin that you couldn't resist giving him another chance. Once, when you got extremely sad after Gremlin tore your favorite dress, the little monster regretted his actions so much after watching your sullen face. He wouldn't stop making huge puppy eyes at you and snuggling with you all day, even letting you pet him, which is rare. Wolf just reminded you so much of Gremlin. Maybe it was because both of them had purple hair? Wow that was a really stupid reasoning huh?
Obviously there was the possibility that wolf might get even more mad after reading your letter and decides to kill you in the worst way possible. Ugh. Whatever.
History class finally ended after what felt like 15 centuries. That's nothing new, every class felt like a century long to you anyway. You were heading home and had totally forgot about wolf because you were an airhead like that.
So you were really shocked to see said guy, standing near your school gate, looking so damn out of place.
You were going to die, weren't you?
You started imagining the worst possible outcomes and thought of just bolting back into the school and just lounge there for the night.
Before you could though, Wolf looked up from his phone and locked eyes with you for a second before averting his eyes again. And- was that a blush on his face? Wolf keum? Blushing? It was so tiny but you were sure it was there.
And that's when you finally noticed the bandage on his forehead, slightly hidden behind his hair. A bandage. A hello kitty bandage. The one that you gave him. And Jesus fucking christ. You really couldn't stop the laugh that was bubbling in your stomach. The bandage looked so out of place on his perfect face.
So you burst out, laughing uncontrollably. Wolf just simply rolled his eyes at that and gave you a tiny, genuine smile. Maybe the idea of soulmates wasn't that bad after all.
At age 5, you thought that meeting your soulmate would magically solve all your problems and make you the happiest person ever.
At age 16, you thought the idea of soulmates was kinda ridiculous yet still really intriguing. And no, your problems wouldn't be magically solved after meeting them.
At age 19? You were sure that the universe had made a huge mistake and appointed your cat's soulmate to you.
That's the only thing you could think of as you came home to said soulmate, wearing your favorite hoodie and cuddling with your cat, looking so damn comfortable.
Your assumption was right, Wolf was the human version of Gremlin, except, instead of tearing your clothes to shreds, he stole all your hoodies.
Gremlin starts growling at you, his owner, if you try to go near them while their cuddle sessions.
"Seriously? Whose soulmate are you wolf?? Mine or my cat's?"
Fucking great. Now they even sync.
