The following morning, Baekhyun woke up in Sehun's bed with the sweater still clutched to his chest. He slowly rose as he let out a soft yawn and ran his fingers through his disheveled hair. He couldn't remeber why he was in Sehun's room in the first place until it came back to him. He got off the bed after a few minutes, slipping the sweater on and walked out with a task he needs to do. Remove the timer.

Baekhyun walked on the sidewalk as his head hung low, not wanting to look at anyone or anything. He wanted the timer to be removed as it only caused him unhappiness and pain. He has been so impatient and hoped for the day for something to appear on the clock but it never happened. Once he thought he found someone, they're only gone the next minute. All because of this piece of metal. The concept of the timer is ridiculous. So ing ridiculous.

A tear rolled down Baekhyun's cheek when these thoughts took over his mind and quickly wiped it off with the sleeve of the sweater. As he continued to walk, he heard a small beep. He lifted his head to see if it was anyone nearby. Maybe soulmate interaction? He looked around the area, though no one is around. Confusion grew as he continued to search and stopped for a moment, glancing at his arm. Can it be..? He shooked his head to himself as he reluctantly grabbed onto the sleeve that was covering his timer, pulling it up slowly. What he saw once the timer was revealed made him gasp out loud.

3 days 5 hours 45 minutes

The male blinked in disbelief as he stared at the numbers. There are numbers on my timer, there's a ing countdown! He used his finger to tap onto the timer to see if it was acting weird, but nothing happened.

Baekhyun immediately sprinted back to his apartment, leaving the idea of removing the timer behind. He doesn't believe what's happening to him, he feels like he's still asleep on Sehun's bed and he's dreaming. He slammed the door behind him and pressed his back onto it, sliding down until he's sitting on the floor. "What the .." He mumbled to himself, breathless from the run. Baekhyun then startled when his phone in his pocket buzzed and he fished it out, looking at the text notification on the screen.

Sehunnie: Coming back home early. Will see you soon.

Baekhyun let out a small squeak and tossed the phone away from him, hugging his knees close to his chest. He felt like his heart began to beat even quicker than before, he might have a heart attack. There's no way.. Baekhyun thought there was no way this happened because Sehun got a timer. He even said he wouldn't get one. He bit at his bottom lip at the thought of Sehun being his soulmate, that has always been a dream of his but does he even want to see him? He ignored him the whole time just to be with Seulgi and didn't even try hard enough to get Baekhyun out of his shell. He didn't even respond to his text messages or calls yet he had the nerve to text him that he's coming back, acting like nothing happened. Bastard.

Baekhyun is now pacing all around the room, glancing at his timer every few seconds. It's really happening, he's going to meet his soulmate in 15 minutes and he doesn't know what to do. What happens if I run out now? Would it change? What happens if it's not Sehun? Maybe it's the delivery person? Many questions came up and Baekhyun began to feel more and more anxious. He thought he would feel excited and happy when it comes to this moment, but he's freaking out.

Then Baekhyun heard someone unlo
