There was something strange about growing up with this mark on your body. For a long time people called it a tattoo or an imprint of fate but over the past 20 years they always referred to it as ‘the date’.

Because it was by far the most important date of one’s life. It could be the beginning of it all. For almost everyone it was. And since humans had this one certainty in their future, this one thing they could be sure it would be happening, society was a different place. One thing less to worry stress or to worry about. One huge and beautiful thing to look forward to.

How would you notice them? Or maybe they notice you first?

When your parents told you about how they found each other both reported a sudden feeling of certainty. Their intuition made sure to let them know that this was the one.

But would it work the same for you?

When the day finally came you laid in bed for an hour, incapable of moving even an inch. You were scared that every move, everything you would do on this day could prevent you from meeting your soulmate. Taking the wrong bus. Getting 2 minutes to early out of the door. These sort of things.

Eventually you just decided to get up and grab a coffee. Who were you to think you could trick fate? Letting things happen regardless of what an individual does is kind of fates stick. Right?

So coffee wouldn’t be too bad.

Deciding that, if fate does what it wants either way, your feet carried you to the one place you already were a regular at. You opened the door with the very familiar ringing of the tiny bell and were immediately greeted by one of your favourite baristas.

“Oh look who’s back!” Jaemin exclaimed teasingly, propping up on the counter and watching you as you walked in. “The addiction got the better of you?”

“I am not addicted to caffein and you know it.” You say jokingly with a dash of serious. “I am addicted to your cakes, that’s why. Also I could use some distraction.”

He smiled and got to work, fixing up your usual order. “What kind of cake would you like?”

“Surprise me!” You stated.

And so he did.

Since that day was not very busy and it was time for his brake anyways, Jaemin joined you outside, kindly bringing his order with him. The cake he got you was their classic and best selling chocolate cake.

“I wasn’t sure what to get you but with this one can’t go wrong.”

He dropped on the chair next to you and crossed his legs. He put his hand up to shield his eyes from the sun and in that moment the sleeve of his shirt slid down his arm to reveal a row of numbers on the inside of his biceps.

“Is that your date?” You asked shiny, not taking a closer look at it. You always felt that one’s date was something very private and intimate and those unfortunate people who had to wear it on display maybe don’t want others to see. So you didn’t look.

Jaemin snickered. “Yeah. Do you believe in this?”

You nod heavily while taking a bite of the piece of cake. “Of course. You don’t”

“Not so much.”

“Haven’t you heard the stories?”

“Of course I did. But my parents for example are not soulmates but they love each other. Why stress out about that one day you might find the right person?”

“What do you mean with ‘might’?”

“I don’t know I just … don’t believe in it that’s all. I mean, today is like every other day. What should make you think you find your special someone today?”

You took a second to think about it. “Well this morning I thought about it but then I figured if fate really is fate then it doesn’t matter what I am doing. I will meet them today. It’s the date right? So if not today, then the mark will fade and I will go on with my life.”

Continuing eating your cake you didn’t notice how Jaemin stared at you.

“What’s wrong with that?” You asked, taking his silence as a critique on what you just said.

“Today is your date?” His voice suddenly lost all of it’s usual depth and charm and you eventually look at his shocked face.

“Yeah. What about it.”

He wordlessly pulled up the sleeve of his shirt and revealed his number.

24052021

For a second you looked at each other.

The sun shining into his eyes causing him to squint.

The fork with cake halfway up to your mouth.

The customers who walked past the two of you sitting outside the café. A place you visited every other day. Where you almost always met Jaemin.

In that very imperfect moment you noticed something important:

Apparently the date doesn’t tell you when you meet your soulmate, you thought. It is the day you notice them for the first time.

And intuition really was a magical thing.

Who were you to think you would accidentally trick fate?

“Ah! You’re such a needy baby! Just give me a break already.” Jeno whined but wouldn’t let go of your hand.

It was something he always did when you demanded too much of his attention but both of you knew you secretly enjoyed it and it was how you were running things for over a year now.

“I just want you to listen to this dream I was having, is that too much to ask?” You pulled on his arm pouting and he laughed and gave in to your needy behaviour.

“Alright, alright. Go on. But promise me that we will get to the park before sunset because that is why we went on this walk to begin with!”

You nod, held onto his arm and hand a little bit tighter and continued your story. “Okay so, I was watching this little girl, right? And I was weirdly responsible for her getting good grades so the day she got her school certificate I had to go to school with her and talk to the teacher about the grades. But it turns out that-“

“No! She was not a lizard! Why would she be a lizard?”

He shrugged and laughed: “I don’t know! This dream of your’s started with you going to a public bath and suddenly you’re responsible for some random kid’s grades.”

“Don’t ask me to explain how my mind works! That’s just how it is.” You say and your voice got a little higher than usual because of the way your were smiling.

As you reached the park you pointed across the green area at a bench. “Can we sit there and watch the sunset? I am tired of walking.”

“We didn’t even walk 15 minutes.” Jeno teased but you wouldn’t hear of it and lead the way over to the bench.

You sat down and he was putting his arm around you while you watched the sun disappearing behind the trees across the little lake.

“So what did she say?” He asked after a while.

“Who?”

“The lizard teacher.”

“She wasn’t a lizard.”

“But what did she say?”

“Nothing. We didn’t go to the school instead I was walking into some ramen shop. It really was so weird because, you now, Chenle was working there.”

“But he was a lizzard?”

You turned around about to hit him: “Jeno, I swear to god if you say lizard one more time …”

He laughed and raised his arms to seek cover.

And just like that you missed the last glance at the sun over bickering with your sweet sweet boyfriend, who found so much pleasure in teasing you.

Every single day.

“Oh damn, you look tired.” Mark exclaims as he laid eyes on you as soon as you moved up in line and ended up right in front of the counter.

The weather outside was snowy but while waiting in line inside the shop the cold in your cheeks slowly faded and you were able to move your fingers again.

“It’s the mask.” You answer a little more snappy than you planned on but Mark, as usual, takes it with a smile.

“Nah, I know it isn’t. I’ve seen you happy with a mask on and this isn’t that. What’s up? Why the face?” He asks after confirming you would like your regular drink with all the usual fixings.

You sigh as you pull out your wallet. “Why the face lol, I don’t know it’s cold, life is very busy, I am behind on schedule, … . It’s nothing and everything really. But please don’t worry. I got this.”

Mark laughs. “I know you do. Don’t you always figure something out? No no it’s on me.”

“I know.” Then smiles again. “But I don’t care. Plus I also get a discount so so just take it as a gift. To cheer you up?”

You put your wallet back into your pocket and avoid facing him as you smile a little “Thank you.”

Mark shakes it off with his hand and winks as you, eventually greeting the next costumer in line behind you.

So you walk up to the serving area and find yourself not being able to take you eyes off him. His bubbly character and the way he always asked you how you were and what was going on grew on you. For some time now you actually suspect yourself to develop a crush. But you wouldn’t tell him, wouldn’t you?

You observe how he talks to the lady who was behind you and as he complements her haircut you feel your heart ache a little bit. “That’s why you shouldn’t tell him about your crush.” You think. “Or even have a crush. He is probably just nice to you in a way he is to everyone.”

So you shake your head and decided to forget about it as another employee calls out your order.

“Thank you.” You kindly say as she hands over the beverage and you halt. Something is written on the cup, right next to the ‘L’ in the milk-box.

‘Movie? This weekend?’ Followed by a phone number.

You look up, just to find Mark looking at you. He raises a brow and his eyes narrow. You know he is smiling at you, even though you can’t actually see it with the cloth covering his phase.

You point at the cup and then at yourself and he nods slightly.

Then you suddenly smile yourself and give him a thumbs up.

Apparently your feeling is mutual.

It took a lot to admit it was all too much and just walk away. One of the hardest lessons you ever had to learn and maybe the toughest choice you’ve ever made. Probably will make.

So when you came to Rye, when you got off the bus and found yourself in the most nowhere place you could think of - instead of being lost and floating around in a sea of confusing feelings and doubt, you found yourself grounded. Both feet on the cobblestone walking forward, not doubting a single one of your choices.

It felt as if you could breathe. For the first time since a long while.

The first few days in Rye you slept long, not bothering about when to get up because you had no where to be. Nothing to worry about. Even though you escaped your family home and left without you wouldn’t have money issued for a while. So you didn’t think about how to pay the small room in the pension you were staying. You would just stay as long as you liked. With no one around you who would put their pressure on you. No one to monitor you. No expectations to live up to.

The led you past a few shops and a little castle on a hill. About one hour passed by, then suddenly someone approached you across the street, checking for none-existing traffic.

“I don’t know if I can help.” You say. “I don’t live here.”

“Are you vacationing?” He asked and laughed. “You don’t look like it.”

Before you even noticed you found yourself smiling for no reason. “No.” You shook your head and then actually thought about it. “Well I guess you could say I am vacationing in a way.”

You introduced yourself to him for no actual reason at all and replied with “I’m Jaehyun.”

He originally only wanted to ask you about the bus plan but after the two of you walked down the road to check the station you decided to just kill the time together until the next bus would go. So you walked the little distance down to the beach and sat down in the sand.

Something about his presence made you feel weirdly at peace. Just as if your heart waited for someone like him. Someone who would non verbally take some of your pain and your emotional burden and carry it for you. Far far away. To some far away place. So it would never come back.

“So what are you doing here?” He asked, after you sat at the beach for a while and watched the sky’s color change as the sun set.

You said nothing for a few seconds. “I … I honestly don’t know. My feet just got me here. I don’t know where they will get me next but for now I won’t interfere with their plans.”

“So you let your heart take you?”

“My heart?” You turn your head to look at him. “What do you mean?”

Jaehyun smiled softly. “If you walk your way with no goal in mind and just see where your feet take you … that’s pretty much following your heart, right? Or one could say you let fate guide you.”

You scoffed at that very poetic theory of his which you actually liked but you didn’t want to think that everything that happened to you was fate. Because then fate must really hate you.

“My heart? I don’t even know what day it is. How would I know about my heart.”

He laughed. “I can help you with that. It’s the second of may.”

“It’s my birthday?” You asked fully perplexed.

“It is?” Jaehyun smiled. “Happy Birthday to you then.”

You smiled but waved his gratulations off. “Please, my birthday really is no happy occasion.”

On your way pack you felt this urge to say something. Anything. About him. And about how healing his presence was. But you didn’t dare. How weird would that be, right?

But as you reached the bus stop once again on this day - your birthday no less - he reached out for your hand and held it carefully in his.

“Listen to me.” He said and just the sound of his words cast a spell over you. “I really believe what I said back there. You’re going where your heart wants you to go. And you will meet people on your way. People who will take your pain away. Piece by piece. Things like these-“ He paused. “There is not this one particular person who will make it all go away. But you will meet a whole bunch of people. When the time is right. And each and everyone of them will take some of your pain, of that burden and will carry it for you. Carry it away so you don’t have to deal with it any longer. I will start today. Alright?”

You just nod silently, watching how the setting sun reflected in his dark eyes and unlocked a depth in them you didn’t notice before.

Jaehyun leaned forward and placed a gentle kiss on your forehead, leaving behind a warm spot as he pulled away. You could hear the bus approaching but only really noticed it as it stopped right next to you. Jaehyun let go of your hand and got on the bus with one foot.

“Don’t watch me leave. You shouldn’t know where I take your pain. So that you’ll never find it again.”

Things will be alright. Everything will turn out well. Work hard, like you always do.

💌 🎁 for @rr0zu

One of the many things you loved about Paris was how local it felt. Even though you arrived in this foreign city not long ago your neighbourhood already felt very familiar. Since it was home to a bunch of different bakeries and cafés it wasn’t hard for you to get in touch with the locals who ran them and practice your language and social skills.

“Hey, you! Birthday kid. I think my grandmother called for you. She runs the bakery. Either it’s you or I am creeping some random lady out. In that case I am sorry.”

You looked at a man around your age and blinked. “Your Grandma runs the bakery?” You echoed but before the man could answer you saw the old lady come out of the shop and wave at you.

“Come back, come back! Today is your birthday, isn’t it?”

~~~

“I can’t believe you remembered, even I forgot.” You laugh as she made you sit down near the counter and put a piece of cake in front of you. She proudly presented it.

“It’s matcha!”

The man behind her who eventually really turned out to be her grandson chuckled. “It’s matcha cake, grandma. Not just matcha.” The woman shrugged and he turned towards you. “She had me up all night making it. ‘It’s for this adorable foreign girl who lives down the road. She told me about it and I want to make it for her birthday. She’s all alone here, you know?’”

You carefully looked around the shop to check for the lady before you laughed and asked: “So it’s pity-cake?”

He chimed in on your laughter. “I guess it is by definition. But we put a lot of effort into it so you better enjoy it!”

“Yes, sir!” You saluted and laughed again before trying the cake. It turned out to be really soft and fluffy and you let him know how well he did. “It’s really good.”

Exactly that moment the lady returned. “Jaehyun, What did she say?”

The two of you laughed. “She said it’s really good! You stressing me out all night was worth it!” He repeated louder and more clearly than you said it the first time.

“Oh, that’s so nice to hear! Happy birthday, darling!”

„Do you mind watching my things for two minutes?“

Someone asked you and you looked up from your book just to meet the face of Doyoung. You’ve seen him around quite often over the past weeks. Since the weather got nicer the two of you often spend your time separately at the cafe, enjoying the sun, coffee and a good book.

Up until now you never talked to each other.

He now pointed over to his small table with his things on it and you nodded. „Sure!“

Doyoung smiled at you before rushing to the rest rooms. You observed his table for a few seconds until you noticed that the book he was reading today was the one you finished last week. Did he get inspired by you?

As he returned you finally brought up the courage to start a conversation. Something you planned on doing for a while now.

„What do you think of it?“

„Pardon?“

„The book. I recently read it and liked it a lot.“ you smile and observed him looking to his table and back to you.

„Right! Yes I saw you reading it. It’s actually on my list as well but I forgot about it. Thank you for subtly reminding me, it’s really good.“ Then he hesitated for a while before continuing. „Do you mind if I join you? The sun moved and my spot will be overshadowed by that tree soon. It’s warm but I’m not dressed for shadowy temperatures.“

„Yes sure, please have a seat.“

You scooted over and made room for him and his coffee.

Send your own!
