Gaju - One
Chapter 9 - I'm your Soulmate
While all the children were busy talking about their soulmates, Gaju left the class. No one is aware of Gaju's departure. A child who has no close friends and does not want to interact with other children.
Gaju walked towards the beach with a backpack on his back. Since the incident Professor rebuked him at that time because he deliberately answered wrong, Gaju always pay close attention to every corner of the Island. He now has a shadow, wherever the hidden cameras used to watch the Candidates are placed. To date, Gaju has discovered at least 2,357 hidden camera locations.
Gaju then walked towards his favorite spot of practicing every day. The boundary between the sandy beach and the steep rocks are connected to the cliffs that exist to the west of the island.
He chose this location because of the extremely beautiful scenery at sunset in the twilight, or at least that was the reason he prepared for anyone who suspected his hobby of practicing alone here.
But only Gaju knows that this location is one of the blindpsot he found on the Island. Blindspot where there is not a single camera pointing here. Although this blindspot area is not so wide, it is only about 5m x 5m, but it is more than enough for Gaju to practice without being noticed by the Managers.
It was at this location that Gaju would train all of his physical attributes to the maximum, whereas all of the exercises he did in his own room until he was exposed, it was just camouflage. And he's been doing all this for almost a year.

"You're serious Tian?" tia asked with a worried face, nothing, Tian was the Candidate with the highest intelligence score among all of them, now suddenly he had to pair up with the 'strange', she said', everyone's nickname to the Three Seven, of course, many who feel jealous and begin to intend evil to the Three Seven.
Tian just smiled at Tia's question, "hasn't that been the rule of the Island? I can what?" tian said as he shrugged, "Tia you know where I can find the Three Seven?" continued Tian.
Tia was silent for a moment, "every afternoon, she always practiced alone on the southeast side of the island. Transitional area between beach and rock cliffs. It used to be that many were interested in the Three Seven practice method, but after they saw that the increase in physical attributes was very small and not worth the effort, they gave up and let the Three Seven practice on their own."
Tian just nodded his head in understanding.

A young boy was practicing martial arts on the beach when from the mainland a girl walked slowly towards him.
The little girl patiently waited for the young man to finish his routine before he approached and stood next to the young man who was only wearing shorts and bare-chested.
"Hi" said the girl slowly.
The young man turned his head and looked at the girl who was smiling towards him.
"I'm Three Eight, I call Tian. I am your soulmate" said the Girl, extending her hand, inviting the Youth to shake hands.
The young man seemed hesitant to welcome the hand of the girl named Tian.
But before long, he smiled and extended his hand, welcoming little Tian's hand.
"I'm Three Seven, just call Gaju," said the young man in a soft voice.
Tian left his hand in Gaju's grasp for a while while smiling sweetly. The most beautiful smile that Gaju will always remember forever.

It had been ten days since the day of Gaju and Tian's meeting that afternoon. Since then, Tian left his group who had always been with him and began to always accompany Gaju wherever he went.
And it was during these ten days that Gaju could not train freely. He begins to get annoyed with the actions of a little girl named Tian who always follows wherever Gaju goes.
"Tian, you are the smartest kid among all Candidates. Why do you have to follow me wherever I go anyway?" gaju protested one afternoon as the two of them sat in Gaju's favorite location that afternoon.
Tian who from earlier looked at Gaju with an expression full of curiosity only smiled a little, "because Gaju is attractive and unique."
Gaju was shocked when he heard Tian's reply. Gaju knows what other friends think of him. They all consider it 'strange', 'loner', 'anti-social' and many other designations.
But only this time did he hear another reply from Tian. But it wasn't Gaju's name if he didn't consider the possibility that Tian was trying to ensnare him.
Gaju used his brain quickly to analyze the true purpose of Tian's actions and at the same time Tian also did the same.
After a few minutes, Tian let out a long breath, "i give up," Tian said as he looked at the loose ocean in front of them.
Gaju was a little confused to see the behavior of this sweet girl who seemed to bleed Chinese. Gaju himself has long realized that each child has a different genetic derivative.
Like Gaju who has the majority of Korean genetics, Tian who has Chinese genetic derivatives, Koga who is Japanese and various genetic derivatives that exist in Candidates. Gaju already suspected that it was intentional by the Management and Organization that made the Island.
And this sweet girl named Tian who was now sitting next to him, she was white and not-so-squeezy eyes with a sharp gaze. His eyes looked clear, shining and deep, with just one look, one would know that he was dealing with a figure who had above average intelligence.
Tian's hair was straight and extended to his back. When the sea breeze blew towards the land, the strands of his hair would slightly flutter and Tian would use his hands to tidy up his hair again.
Gaju did not stop staring at Tian. She was like a camera filming a high definition movie with Tian as the lead actress. And Gaju subconsciously did that.
A moment later Gaju's logic took over. For a moment just now, he was carried away with emotions because of Tian's truly extraordinary charm. Beautiful girl is common, but a pretty girl as smart as Tian? Even for the subtle figure of Gaju can be fascinated made.
"What do you mean?" ask Gaju towards Tian.
"Style, you've been aware that I'm always watching you?" ask Tian slowly.
Gaju. He was trying to use his memory to find evidence whether Tian's claim just wasn't a lie.
And scene after scene, where Tian deliberately glanced at himself one after another came to the surface.
Gaju continued to dig deeper and finally found a memory fragment that happened that afternoon after they did a knowledge test.
Little Tian's 8-year-old 2-month-old face looked nervous and frightened as he peeked out from behind the door of his room towards Gaju's room, at the time where Gaju was chatting with three koga sneaks that afternoon.
