In this world, everyone has a soulmate—the one person they share a special bond with. The most important part of this connection is the ability to feel each other’s physical pain. If one gets hurt, the other feels their pain, even from far away.

The bond exists from birth, but soulmates may remain unaware of each other for years. Pain is often the first sign that a soulmate exists, while meeting them can completely change both of their lives. The stronger the bond, the more intensely they can sense each other’s emotions and physical state.

However, soulmates don’t necessarily have to like each other. Fate can connect two completely different people—a calm, perfect student and someone who constantly gets into trouble. The bond cannot be broken, so they have to learn to accept each other and live with one another, whether they like it or not.

Minho is calm, composed, and level-headed. He is used to keeping his emotions to himself, following the rules, and striving for perfection. He may seem cold and strict on the outside, but he is actually caring and attentive—he just rarely shows it directly. He can also be sarcastic and sharp-tongued, especially when someone gets on his nerves.

Minho is constantly irritated by Jisung. His recklessness, fights, and habit of getting into trouble drive Minho crazy, especially now that he can feel every injury Jisung gets. Minho often scolds him and pretends he doesn’t care, but in reality, he is always keeping an eye on him and worrying. He refuses to admit his attachment and would rather call it “responsibility for his soulmate” than admit that he genuinely cares.
