The Ultimate Soulmate's

The Ultimate Soulmate's
Because I'm your boyfriend



"So, what should I do?" namgil asked his two best friends who suddenly became romance consultants for him. "Do I have to pretend to like him? Do I have to show it every day?" ask Namgil again. "Don't ask me! Just ask the playboy!" sahut Jiwon pointed to Daehyun, the cassanova at the current school who should bequeath his knowledge to Namgil. Daehyun also taught Namgil how he should pretend to be sweet in front of me and devise a plan for how he should break his relationship with me later. And since the first day of the creation, Namgil has launched the action according to the direction of his naughty cousin's sister.


Every morning, Namgil always waited for me to come and take me to class. During the break, Namgil picked me up in class to go to the cafeteria together. When the clock came home, he accompanied me until my driver came to pick me up. That's all! The rest is no meaningful conversation, no skinship, no familiarity at all. We never even contacted each other on our cell phones. It all feels weird to me, but I'm just trying to think positively, "maybe it's just as awkward as it's just been!" Apparently, not just myself, but even one school felt the same way as me. "Didn't their relationship look weird!" score some students. "Is the rumor true, the two of them are just fiancees that their families have betrothed?" ask other students.


Since the incident in the canteen, rumors about my engagement with Namgil came after my identity was revealed by Daehyun after he curiously searched the student data room and asked the principal directly for the truth to make sure. "Daebak! The youngest son of the president of the richest family no. 4 and the only daughter of the richest family no. 3 dating! Is this what the conglomerate family's political matchmaking is called?" oceh Jiwon in front of Namgil who immediately triggered the false rumors. But at least, ever since those rumors circulated, no one dared to bother me anymore, including Sooyun who just floated her hateful gaze at me from a distance. While Namgil just thought, "when I originally pointed at him, but I also do not care who he is. After all, this is just pretending until I decide it's today this week!"

Saturday has come, which means I've been Namgil's girlfriend for almost a week. As usual, Namgil accompanied me in front of the school gate while waiting for an invitation. "Are we out tomorrow?" tanya Namgil broke the silence between us. I flinched, "what do you mean date?" ask me slowly, timidly. Namgil scratched his nape, "yes," he replied quietly as well. Not yet, I continued the conversation, a car stopped in front of us. Namgil opened the car door for me, "go home. I'll tell you, the place and time in the chat," he said flatly as usual and I just nodded slowly and obeyed.


Since getting into the car, I noticed my phone screen, waiting for Namgil to chat, but what I found was a chat from Yongju asking me. For a moment I intended to tell Yongju about my relationship, but when I wanted to reply to his chat, Namgil's chat came in and it made me forget about Yongju's chat. "Tomorrow at night, I'm waiting for you at Dongjag Red Sky Cafe" Namgil said. Short, but it makes me flutter because I imagine it, especially I just realized that tomorrow is Valentine's Day. "Will it be as sweet as my first date with her?" I thought with a heart that kept pounding like a child that was going for a walk for the first time.

Arriving home, I immediately browse everything about Valentine's Day along with gifts I have to give, about dating, about dating, how sweet I look on a first date and what I should do on a date. All those things immediately filled my head, even making me forget time and sleep too late and when I was asleep even, I often woke up all night. "When does the sun rise? Why is it so long tomorrow?" my murmur while staring at the clockwork of the wall that felt so slow to turn, even the song of Yongju who used to put me to sleep was useless tonight.

In the morning, I was busy deciding on the clothes I was going to wear tonight. I've been ruffling my closet for an hour, but there's not a single pink shirt I want. I just realized, all the contents of my closet are dominated by monochrome color. I decided to go shopping for new clothes, "maybe I also need to buy some items!" my thinking. I was so excited to explore the mall for the first date I was waiting for, that I didn't realize my hands were filled with bags. All day long, I just smile to myself every time I think about my date tonight. I feel like today is going to be a special day for me.


Satisfied with shopping, I immediately returned home and immediately got ready because it was too busy shopping, until without realizing it was getting late in the afternoon. Still with my flagship casual style, I chose to wear an oversized dusty pink sweater as a top. For a more feminine impression, I put the edge of the sweater into the mini skirt pants in plain white. As a complement to my appearance, I combined it with white sneakers and a matching colored mini sling bag. I looked back at the results in the mirror. Starting from the one I wear from head to toe and gifts, for my first date, I've planned everything very much, even so impatiently, if time is stock named first date, I've been very much planning everything, I'll invest so I can speed things up.


I wanted to slightly change the appearance of my short hair and after a long discussion with the hairstylist, finally my short hair was given a little touch of curly. Plus a little thin polish sweetened with coral lipstick, I finished dressing up. I went back to it, kept staring at the glass. Looking at the reflection of myself that I had never seen before. For the first time, I dressed up and the results were unbelievable. I even put a simple earring in my ear for the first time, even the piercing hole I just made this afternoon, still felt a little sore. A special day that I really prepared until I was willing to make changes to my appearance and I smiled satisfied with the results.


If I was busy preparing for my performance, another case with Namgil, he was busy consulting with his two best friends in chat. "I'll do it tonight. What should I say later? Any advice?" tanyakanya. "Let's just say, Hyung feels like she doesn't fit in with him after getting to know each other and also doesn't like her tomboyish appearance either" Daehyun replied quickly. "Okay, that's my reason" Namgil replied. "Although Hyung decided today, Hyung should still be able to be gentleman. If you can, disconnect him without making him cry" suggested Jiwon who was indeed soft-hearted.


"Can I? How's it?" daehyun asked in disbelief, "all the girls I decided on, must be crying," he continued. The cassanova chuckled at Jiwon's reply which she found funny. "Yes, you are indeed a dog** who likes to make girls cry!" reply Jiwon with evil emoticons. "Are you looking in the mirror now?" reply Daehyun to Jiwon with surprised emoticons. "That's it. Why even talk about you guys? You guys always make a fuss here. Let me think for myself," Namgil replied in the end.

Arriving at the cafe in question Namgil, I climbed one by one stairs to the rooftop cafe. I circulated my gaze looking for the figure of Namgil who said, first arrived. A sumptuous dining venue with superb views of the Han River and the bridge that divides it, plus a cafe decoration that looks to match today's theme. "Even tonight, the moon and stars look so beautiful, as if they were shining on me and the world seems to be made for me without tomorrow" I thought happily, looking up at the sky. My heart was filled with a noise from my heart that kept pounding.


Meanwhile, from a distance I saw Namgil who looked to be humming a little casually. Namgil seemed to have been waiting for me at the table located on the corner side of this cafe and did not realize my arrival was getting closer to walk up to him. "Sorry, I'm late" I said, sitting in front of him. Because there was no reply, I looked at Namgil while attaching my hair to my ears. "Hana?" namgil said he did not believe it. "Yes, it's me, Hana," I replied confusedly, then after noticing the puzzled expression on Namgil's face, I asked doubtfully, "what's my appearance wrong?".


Seeing Namgil's expression, I suddenly became less confident, even though I had gathered the courage to arrive at this place. "No," replied Namgil quickly. "Tonight you are. You are beautiful!" he replied timidly and made me misbehave to hear it with a flowery heart. "Thank you" I replied with a reddened face and a shy smile that looked very cute in Namgil's eyes. I was so glad to hear him praise my efforts.


Degs... Degs... Degs... Namgil was silent with his heart pounding. "Oh, is this a scene like in a romance drama, when the main cast is in love?" namgil said inwardly with a stunned look at my beauty as I smiled at her. "What am I supposed to say now? Everything I had memorized, suddenly disappeared from my head. Why does my heart keep racing like this? Should I say break up now? But if she's this pretty, I don't want to say it anymore" she thought, worried.


The awkwardness came back, but this time the awkwardness was very sweet. Every now and then we throw each other smiles without knowing what to say, until I remember something. "Ah, I forgot!" my words made Namgil ask, "what's wrong?" I gave the gift I had prepared to Namgil. "What's this?" ask Namgil after thinking for a moment. "Gift for you" I replied shyly. "Gift for me? Why?" ask Namgil confused. "Because I'm your boyfriend! Happy valentines!" I answered with a beautiful smile.
