a blue secret asleep,

Don't go breaking my heart,

Monday arrived as fast as lightning. And you hate lightning. How will you face your "soulmate" knowing that the oracle will try everything to bind you together so you can choose? You don't want to choose, but you don't like losing your family and soulmate.

The unbearable feeling crept again into your inner being, knowing you couldn't be with the guy you were destined to be with. The whole weekend, after the birthday bash that your classmates surprised you with and the exciting music show, is still fresh in your entire The whole night, you had agonizing dreams about losing your loved ones.

Your aunt Ines told you that the world will still fight for your soul and weariness again. The burden takes a toll on your health as headaches intensify. Finding a creative way to administer the potion to Yeonjun becomes a daunting challenge. You can't even meet his gaze, let alone look directly into his eyes.

You were very quiet in the car on your way to school. Sammy was bubbling non-stop about his friend Kai's exceptional talent and was on his way to mega-stardom. You were listening with half an ear because your mind was so clouded.

Sammy went to a different school, the middle school in the Hanlim school group. He was excited, but he got concerned when he saw that you looked sad.

"Hey, Luna, are you okay? Why do you seem so down? If I met idols every day and were in class with new stars, I'd be happy to stay at school. Who ruined your day so early?" He smirked, nudging your shoulder.

You just snorted.

"I like your hair in this brownish colour," he said, running his fingers through your silky hair. You pulled away and gave him a severe look, but then smiled and thanked him.

"Don't worry, Luna. The Oracle will leave you soon. At least you haven't met your soulmate. He's going to have his hands full with you. You're a moody girl with many issues, but don't worry; he'll love you as you are. At least you're beautiful," he said, clicking his tongue, not bothered by your annoyed expression.

"Omg! ", you shook your head," you so joyful today. Why is that Sammy?"

The look your brother gave you made you snicker, " Luna you know my schools girls are not my type. Sorry...not sorry." He scrunched up his nose.

'Hmm seems you still have the hots for Camila back home. You miss your Mexican 'girlfriend 'you smirked.

Sammy wrinkled his nose and said, "Cut it out, Luna. You know, I'm not supposed to be dating. Dad will flip if he finds out. I had to leave my love back in Mexico. Long-distance relationships are so hard, you know? Oh Why do I even waste my time by telling you. You have no "boy knoledge', Sammy just mock -shudder to make his point," you hopeless."

You smiled while nudging his shoulder. You could just snicker good natured, "Why is my little brother a meanie today. But you just watch it Samuel. I can slip anytime in front of Papi. And Fiy I'm not as hopeless about boys as you said."

" Come on,Luna! I'm just playing with you, Jeez. Can we please speak Spanish when we are alone. I can't see the necesity to speak Korean when it's just the two if us. Nobody is here to keep tabs on us. My poor, intelligent brain is half dying just thinking in Spanish but conversing in Korean"

You could just chuckle at your cute brother, "Gran said we must practice with each other. For better blending with the locals and our accents would sound too weird and foreign."

"Omg! You think! Do you know you have the worse accent in Korean, he snicker loudly.

You just shake your head but stopped bickering when your grandma's driver stop at Sammy's middle schools. Gate.

He quickly gsve you a peck on your cheek and jump out of the vehicle to go to his two friends waiting for him. Seems they are debuted idols because if the massive bodyguards around them. A lot of giggling and waving fangirls were in their vicinity.

You shook your head, thinking about your high-school where the school was filled with trainees and some debuted artist. So your day is filled seeing celebrities, like it's so normal.  Yeonjun and his group are the new celebrities.

When you arrived at your high school
,  you could just inhaled deeply to calm your nerves. You hope not to see your soulmate today. Gosh, you need a break from stress.

Your friends are waiting for you near the school gate, looking excited and open. Maybe they're talking about the exciting weekend. The head monitors are also at the gate, taking the names of late students. Your mood drops when you see your soulmate's "girlfriend."

You quickly looked at your watch to check the time. Almost late. You quickly said your goodbyes to your friendly driver and sprint with meaning to the front gate.

You encountered a very serious looking headgirl, Yeji. She was standing with two smiling boys as well as a teacher at the other end of the gate, but you tried to avoid eye contact with them.

You sigh deeply when she stops you and two Class 1 boys. Some of the late girls quickly rush past you. You furrow your brows when Yeji looks at you with pursed lips.

"Luna, you're tardy," she taps on her diamond wristwatch.

You look incredulously at her with open jaws, "It's only two minutes. I'm not late. Why didn't you stop the kids that rushed past me when you stopped me?"

What's her problem?

One of the senior boys looks at Yeji with raised eyebrows, "Yeji, she was on time. You let the few kids after her in. Let the girl go. It's now 7:30; what's a minute late? She was on time before you stopped her at the gate."

Yeji narrowed her eyes at the boy, who visibly cowered in front of her vicious look, "Jay, who asked for your opinion?" She takes out her book and writes Luna's name inside for tardy students without interruptions. Jay and Sunwoo look apologetically at you, the new girl with the cute accent.

Jay looks affronted at the beautiful head monitor, "Whatever!" he says, shaking his head.

Sunwoo smirked next to his friend as he looked at Yeji and Luna. He wonders if Jay knows that this girl is Eunoo's girlfriend. He heard their fellow senior celebrating the girl's birthday on Saturday. The new idol, Yeonjun, was also entangled with the beautiful girl. She is undoubtedly quite a beauty, and Yeji and Yeonjun, well, they like each other.

You groan silently because you know it's not about you being "late." It's because of her boyfriend, who seems interested in you. You didn't do anything to her except meet Yeonjun. You cry because the tardy kids will have to clean restrooms and sweep the school grounds after school or during lunchtime. How embarrassing.

Yeji throws platinum-dyed hair over her shoulder as she looks smugly at your stunned face. " Here is your slip, and don't lose it. Hand it by your monitor and your punishment. Don't think about running off because you will be worse off."She said it smugly and with cold, dark eyes as she placed the slip forcefully in your hands.

You're too dumbfounded to say anything and nod silently. You've never challenged authority before, and Yeji is the monitor or head girl, and she's ensuring the rules are followed.

You shake your head and walk past her. Jay, the head boy, grabs your wrist and whispers in your ear, "Don't worry, I'm on duty. Just give me the slip when you sign in." He winks, making your eyes widen. You blush bright red at his evident admiration.

Yeji just looked like something smelled terrible around her. You took a deep breath and decided to accept your situation quietly. You didn't want to start a fight because it might bring Yeonjun closer to you, and that's the last thing you need right now. You would like this week to end so you can attend the Friday weekend camp. Your group is already excited.

You didn't feel like smiling and just pressed your lips tightly, your deep dimples immediately catching the attention of a senior as you hurried away to where your friends were with confused faces.

"Good morning, girl. What was that about?" Dahyun asked with a furrowed brow as she noticed Yeji arguing with a senior named Jay.

You just sighed and linked your arms with your friends as you rush to class. "You don't want to know; let's just go to class before I get another tardy slip," you softly murmured.

Chaeyoung looked utterly flabbergasted and appalled when you recounted what just happened with Yeji at the gate.

Such a bloody witch,"Chaeyoung seethe," It's just pure jealousy. She can't handle the fact that the boy she secretly crushing on, has the hots for you. Don't give me that surprise look , you know it's true,"

Dahyun just smirk at the overly annoyed Chaeyoung. She just shook her head stunned at Yejis' pettiness. She is so pretty but also really vindictive.

You looked a little deflated as you looked,' Let's forget about the queen bee and her antics. And don't bring up Yeonjun again, please. I'm already in their radar and trouble is the last thing I've envision. That girl scares me more than Pennywise and she can potentially jeopardized our spot at the camp."

Now more than ever, you have to ignore the existence of Yeonjun. Your aunt told you to stay away from any contact with the idol. How will you manage that if the oracle sets its sights on you? Your heart craves your soulmate daily, even if you haven't fully bonded yet. But stupid awareness will get you into trouble. You wish you could disappear forever. This life is too stressful for you, and you don't think you can handle the issues with Yeonjun. He will find out, and then the soulmate system and oracle will be at war.

Chaeyoung snorted, "Oh yeah, I don't want to lose my well-deserved spot. Anyway, let's talk about our glorious weekend ahead... I bought a new swimsuit," she excitedly trailed off as you reached the classroom.

You heard a deep breath next to you when you saw how wide Dahyun's eyes got. Soobin just walked into the classroom, but what was different was that his fingers were secretly intertwined with the girl he liked, Eunbin. She trailed behind him, but they let go of each other's hands when they entered the classroom.

You looked into Dahyun's eyes, which seemed to darken with deep hurt. She was really into Soobin, and seeing him close to his crush made you realize how deeply she felt for her classmate.

"Dahyun," you softly uttered her name. Chaeyoung looked puzzled at the shift in their cheerful friend's demeanour.

Dahyun pressed her lips tightly, and the light dimmed as her eyes suddenly looked moist. She was about to cry. With a strangled voice, she said, "Er, um, I need the restroom. Please tell Ms. Shim I have a tummy ache." She quickly unlinked her arms with her best friends and ran as if a crazy zombie was chasing her.

Just then, the second bell rang.

Chaeyoung and you looked flabbergasted at each other, but your teacher came around the corner before one of you could follow your devastated friend to the nearby restroom. Some of your classmates who were lingering outside quickly ran into the class.

"Girls, why aren't you in class and preparing for the day? Did you forget about the pop quiz?" she hollered. You and Chaeyoung's eyes widened, and you slipped into the class.

You took a deep breath as you and Chaeyoung reached your desks at the back of the classroom. Chaeyoung looked disturbed, and her eyes constantly lingered on the backdoor, hoping your friend would slip in undetected.

Chaeyoung looked at you with furrowed brows as she opened her backpack to take out her pencil case. "Dahyun looked so devastated. Since when are those two dating?" She whispered next to you, eying Soobin who look at his crush with a slight smirk. The latter just blush and kept her eyes downcast.

You just inhaled and shrugged, "I have no idea...and Dahyun was so happy just to see her crush. This is a devastating blow for her." You felt saddened as you both paid attention to the teacher taking the roll call.

When the teacher called out Dahyun's name, she looked strangely at the empty seat next to Soobin, who looked puzzled. He suddenly miss his overly friendly deskmate.  Where is she?

Chaeyoung spoke up loudly as she lift up her hand, high to get the teachers attention, " Ma'am...er Dahyun complained about a stomach ache. She'll be back soon."

Their young teacher, Ms Shin, just furrowed her brows at the unexpected news, but she nodded at looked down on her roll call register. Her cheery student is unwell today.

You couldn't help nothing her deskmate's furrowed brows as he constantly glance at the door hoping for her to appear. He felt strangely affected by her illness.

You saw a movement at the backdoor as she slipped in. You breathed a sigh of relief. Her eyes looked red-rimmed as she slipped in, downcast beside her deskmate. Soobin looked at the strangely quiet Dahyun, who didn't acknowledge him as if he didn't exist. He looked strangely affected. Usually, she would smile sincerely into his eyes and shower him with too many compliments.

Chaeyoung shook her head next to you as she watched her friend quietly read through her English textbook.

"How will poor Dahyun handle dance class? She forced herself into his group and she now looked so sad." She clicked her tongue regretfully.

Your eyes widened. "Er...dance class?"

Is it starting this week? Oh my goodness, you didn't look at your schedule.

Chaeyoung looked wide-eyed at you and said, "You forgot? Luckily, it's physical education. Today. You can dance in your gym clothes." She smiled smugly.

You groaned inaudibly as you placed your head distressingly on the table. You could only hear soft snickers next to you. You're not so good at dancing but had to choose dance to fill up your schedule. It was dance or vocal lessons. You are not required to dance solos, as in the vocal classes, where you have to sing a song in front of the whole class.

You suddenly thought of ways to get out of dance classes. But it will be the first lesson with the new dance instructor. You heard the instructor was a former idol from Wonder Girls. You have no idea who they might be.

Oh my gosh, you'll make such a fool of yourself. You wish you could take more music disciplines, such as an extra instrumental class or even that strange Korean traditional music instrument, the "gayageum," instead of dance or vocal.

You feel the anxiety building up in your body: dance class, gym class, and detention punishment. What a horrible blue Monday!

Your head was resting on your arms as you lift in up, looking with an amused Chaeyoungs' expression. She was trying not the snicker out loud.

With a little teasing smirk  she leaned down and whispered something in your ear that made you blood froze.

"Just so you know...your crush, Yeonjuns' class will join our class in a mix dance session." She snicker quietly when she saw, the expression of horror enter your face. Your jaws dropped as you abruptly sat up and yelled.

" ¿Qué diablos- what the hell?"

The class was stunned in a deafening silence. Your eyes widen as you notice multiple eyes turned with sheer shock and looked at you.

The level of embarrassment was turning your cheeks crimson. The students in class started to snicker quietly.

You winced as you bit your lips, hiding your face with your hands amid the loud giggles of your friends.

"No! Please, no! How will you stay away from Yeonjun? The potion in your system hasn't settled yet. You need a few more days before he is ready to be soul-blinded. One look in your eyes will seal the deal.

You felt a sudden tug in the back of your mind.

Not again!

Another unwelcome vision.

ೃ⁀➷..A sudden, sharp intake of breath... a bare arm with a distinctive mark ... a hand grabbing a wrist with purpose, and then quick running footsteps out the door.⁀➷

Blood drained from your flustered face. Someone's soulmark will create a ripple effect, and a cunning suspicion will have you reeling in fear.

Yeonjun will find out!

2. Will Dahyun get over Soobin?

3. How will Luna hide from Yeonjun during the combined dance class?
