You sat there sipping on your bubble tea watching your friends and their soulmates be all lovey-dovey. You were the only person in the group that has not found their soulmate yet. Your friends try to encourage you and say maybe it's like puberty you can bloom late, but you doubt anything like that exists. You already lost confidence in finding your soulmate.

Why was it wrong to daydream? You don't have your soulmate physically next to you so would it kill you to imagine or think how they would be like? How they would look?

You've gotten close while working on a project together and now you all always meet up. You were looking through your phone until you feel jitters in your stomach. They're slowly getting stronger. You don't know why but you end up running out of the place where your friends were hanging out at and follow the feeling that's getting stronger. You couldn't get a fu
