TOP DEFINITION

It's like a best friend, but more. It's the one person in the world that knows you better than anyone else. It's someone who makes you a better person, well, actually they don't make you a better person...you do that yourself because they inspire you. A soulmate is someone who you carry with you forever.

The computer screen glowed brightly as a pale thin hand reached out for the can of peach tea lying on the table. Moon Byul Yi took a swig and stared blankly at the results thrown at her. Soulmates  Byul scribbled on a crumpled piece of paper covered in math equations for some unknown reason. She sighed and crushed it, throwing the paper ball behind without a care if it landed in the hamster dustbin.

Byul shivered as she scampered to the kitchen, opening up the cupboards to see if there was any microwavable food she could heat up. The plan was to forage for food and return back to her room when Byul saw the note left on the fridge door.

Remember to eat kiddos! ~Unnie

There are other kids too. Bul mentally slapped herself. “Manage to forget the Itzy huh,” Byul mumbled and fished out microwavable pizza. Unnie would have her freaking head but whoops, she’s out of town and she put the hamster in charge. Byul shoved the pizza into the oven and turned the knob a little too much.

“Kiddos! I’m making pizza. We’re eating soon.” Byul called, lumbering to the living room where the kids were (hopefully). The Itzy kids were sprawled all over the living room. The older two, Yeji and Lia, were on the floor, scribbling math sums onto their workbooks. Chaeryeong was playing with her doll, Ryujin was lying upside down, jerking as she played games on her phone and the baby Yuna was staring comatose at the phone as she watched Minecraft videos. “You all have been good?”

“Mmm,” came the indifferent reply as the younger girls returned their attention to what they were doing. Byul flopped onto the sofa, ignoring Ryujin’s grumbles and opened up Instagram… A really bad de
