Soulmate

It's 2025, a good year for many things. But for the Stray Kids, things aren't looking to hot. Their gang may be at the top of many, having wealth and luxuries, but they're at war.

The Purists have been at their throats for months now, skirmishes everywhere, meaningless deaths and cruelty all around. Though violent and cold, the Stray Kids take protecting their city seriously, but keeping it safe is a hard task while they also expand their mafia further into Korea.

But even mafia members deserve love, especially they do, in their opinion. They want to make sure their gang keeps alive, remains in the family, so that they will always remain in control and become part of history. But fate is an interesting part of life.

When you're born, it is with a mark on your skin, this mark signifies the first time your soulmate touches you. Your first meeting with your soulmate will be when they touch you. The mark will disappear and a new mark will appear on your right ring finger, a black band, that will signify the fact that you are now forever linked.

But until you do, romantic love is something you do not know, it just doesn't make sense, those love stories, the sweet loving songs, the romantic books, it's confusing and strange, they just won't click, until the day your soulmate touches you and it all makes sense.

Hyunjin has always dreamed of it, of what romantic love may be like, will it be sweet? Will it be painful? he simply doesn't know, but he's tried to know, he's painted it, written about it, all between the horrific crimes he's done as a leader of a vicious mafia.

He remembers the love of his parents, the forehead kisses, the back rubs. The way they looked at each other and at him. Will he love someone like his father loved his mother? Or will his love like look different?
