A soul in two bodies. Minjoo understands that now. They are made to complete each other. By a twist of fate, dear Lord, they really are made to complete each other. Perhaps not like how soulmates function commonly, but there is no denying it—Hitomi and she are soulmates.

They complete each other. they really do.

Hitomi lacks a key. Minjoo lacks a padlock. A padlock and a key that doesn't fit, strangely; yet the Universe seem to put them together in anything, everything. There's the chemistry. There's love. What's not there is their story in the book of Fate and Destiny.

They are Fated, Destined—but not in that way. Not in how soulmates supposed to work, supposed to function, supposed to end.

Minjoo understands that, and Hitomi does too.

"What will happen to us?"

Minjoo doesn't know. dear Lord, this is the first time she is so lost about something. This is the first time she is so scared of losing someone. Minjoo never loses, but this time is different.

She could lose, this time.

"I don't know."

A body with an incomplete soul. That is what they are. One missing a padlock, one missing a key. They are half an empty husk. They are not special, they are oddities.
