Prologue

~2018~

"Our universe grants every soul a twin-a reflection of themselves -the kindred spirit – And no matter where they are or how far away they are from each other- even if they are in different dimensions, they will always find one another. This is destiny; this is love."

– Julie Dillon

"...the accident is quite severe as per the reports, the car is completely destroyed due to the impact of the container truck. There is no evidence as to whether the normal accident or not but the investigation has already started by the Secret Agency. As per the sayings of the locals, the speeding truck directly hit the car from sideways, causing the car to triple over thrice. Hearing the huge noise the locals rushed to the wrecked car...

As per the latest report, the Identity of the driver is revealed. It is none other than Lee Ji Min, the member of Super Sonic Boys, the world-famous boy band who received the Billboard Top Social Artist Award 2018 three days ago. They came back to South Korea from the USA only yesterday. The accident happened when Lee Ji Min was returning from their party at Mermalda Hotel at 8:00 PM. The k pop idol is immediately entered into National Seoul Hospital prior to the accident...

After the leak of the news, SSB fans known as S.L.U.V have surrounded the whole premises of the hospital chanting and crying for the wellness of the idol. The hospital securities and agent guards are currently stopping the gates to the hospital only allowing the entry of important people. We can only conclude that the situation is worse as no report is provided about the health condition of Lee Ji Min until now. The S.L.U.Vs around the world are panicking and are praying for his wellness. Within hours, the topic in social media is the 'Severe Accident of Lee Ji Min of SSB'.

The whole world is looking forward to the medical report of the worldwide idol. The MWS News expresses our sincere prayer for the wellness of Lee Ji Min, the Billboard singer...The members of SSB have finally arrived at the hospital in their van and the   S.L.U.Vs are getting restless by the passing seconds......"

Seoul National Hospital

"Jimin-ah, what happened to you...?"

"Oppa..we want to see you!"

"Let us in...we want to see him!!!"

The  Super Sonic Boys are hailed by the cries and screeches of the SLUVs when they approached the entrance of Seoul National Hospital in their agency van. They didn't expect any less nor did they have any mind to acknowledge the hearty screams of their prized fans. They were completely idle the whole 30-minute ride. No one dared to speak anything because it was as if their capability to talk or even move was completely gone.

When they heard of the news of the accident of their fellow member, one among their family, from their Company Manager they were completely frozen at whatever they were doing. Everyone's hearts skipped a beat. They thought it was some kind of joke or prank because that's what they do. But the truth was eternal.

They could barely walk to the van in which they're sitting right now. Kang Dae Shim was looking out of the window the whole serene ride blankly. Once in a while, he would glance at his completely silent members and gulp. He knew a storm was going to come, a storm in which tears and cries will only be in the air. After this shock is gone, a complete terror will replace their faces. He knew it and he was anticipating it.

When the car pulled over, the members slowly lifted themselves outside immediately meeting the cries and banging of their fans at the gates.

"Tell them to let us in Yejun oppa!!"

"We want to see our Jiminie!"

"Oppa!!!!"

The cries were unstoppable as even the guards were struggling against the gates.

No-one turned and looked at the crowd outside the gate, no one had the courage to.

The guards led them inside the hospital halls which were surprisingly silent and tranquil. Only few patients were visible and they were giving them sympathetic stares. As they walked through the lonely antiseptic redolent halls, they could still hear the loud yells of SLUVs echoing through the walls. That alone made every single one of them scrawny to the bone.

Park Ye Jun, Lee Ji Min’s best friend, stumbled whimpering as they reached the door of ICU, obviously thinking of what or rather who lay inside. But Kim Yo Han wrapped his arms around him, brushing his back, consoling though he needed it too. Even the sunshine of the group had no energy left as he was forcing himself not to break down. Jung Beom Seok's face was completely blank, not showing his members his vulnerable side. Kim Jae Hwa, the eldest, was watching their maknae, Lim Min Jun, carefully, eloquent that his favorite hyung is inside, fighting against death. Also that their maknae is a very delicate person and considers his hyungs as his whole life. If something happens to Jimin, Jaehwa knew Minjun won't stand it. 

Kang Dae Shim was watching everything with silence yet again. He had just talked with his Manager and had been told that Jimin's condition is not a bit good. He lost a lot of blood and has many wounds, scratches, and bruises. His chances of surviving are...slim.

He couldn't tell these to the people in front of him, but he had to. As a leader, he knew he has to but he just can't...so he decided to wait...wait till the storm retrocedes.

Inside the operation theatre lay Lee Ji Min, oblivious to all his surroundings, oblivious to the hollers of his fans through the window followed by the nonchalant wind. His heartbeat resonated throughout the whole room, pulsating the frigid air. His physique filled with machines and stitches. His barely alive body was a complete mess but his mind was peaceful...preparing itself for a whole new world and a whole new adventure; a beautiful journey.

Because miles away, someone was waiting for him.

For his soul.

For his friendship.

For his love.

For his soul.

His soulmate.
