2. New York.

~~~~At least we're under the same sky, you and I.~~~~

LUCAS POV.

My flight landed earlier than expected, so I had some time to loiter around. New York is filled with food stalls so I decided I grab a bite at the pretzel stall. I didn't have my luggage on me as I sent it home with my driver when he came to pick me up at the airport.

We didn't sell our house in New York after we moved, the reason for it was me, my parents thought it'd be better for me to stay at our own house instead of a hotel as I keep traveling to New York for my exhibitions. My parents have a lot of homes all around the world which makes it pretty convenient for me.

I wonder where my soulmate lives, New York or Seoul ? Or maybe somewhere else?

After an hour or so, I return to my house and take a nap as later I've to visit the exhibition and check out the venue and all that boring stuff.

I have 3 exhibitions in this one month in New York, one in 3 days, one in 15 days and one in 20 days, which worry me as I'm supposed to meet my soulmate in 20 days.

20days 8hours 37minutes 23seconds.

I hope me and my soulmate are able to meet without any problems, we cannot contact each other by communicating through our skin nor we can try too hard and be desperate to meet our soulmate, if we do, we will never see them in our lives. We have to go on with our lives normally and not adjust anything accordingly.

If I'm supposed to meet my soulmate on the day of my art exhibitions is it possible my soulmate will visit my art exhibition? Perhaps she knows me and appreciates the same kind of art? Well, if she is then I'm kinda excited cause then I'd have something to talk to her about.

The reason I'm famous in the art world so young is my family and the Internet. I've been blessed enough to have a well to do family and for my fans online where I started to post little canvas paintings impersonating Vincent Van Gogh's famous pieces in the beginning, sure I did many others too but these were appreciated the most.

Slowly I started to come up with my own paintings which people appreciated equally. I'm still studying though, education is a must but I'm earning pretty well so I don't worry too much.

After I'm back from the exhibition, it's already pretty late but I don't feel very sleepy so I decide to go for a walk and paint the stars, they look extraordinarily pretty tonight.

I take my motorbike to a cliff nearby and set up all my stuff, while I do so my stomach grumbles, I realise that all I ate today was a small pretzel, so I leave my easel there and get on my bike and visit a pizza shop, Henry's pizza. I've been eating this pizza since I was a kid. The old man knows me pretty well as I spoke about him in an interview when asked what did I ate during I painted and how am I still so fit, because many times artists forget to eat or eat too much. All I ate was cheese pizza.

As I step in, I notice the crowd but I make my way to stand in line to place my order, and finally.

"One large cheese, please."

As I was done giving my order and stepped aside to wait a heavy hand landed on my shoulder, I turned around to look and the hands belonged to Henry! I was so happy to see him after so many years.

"Hello young man, long time no see!" Henry exclaimed.

"Yes sir, sure been a long time, how you been doing"

"Ah just getting old, my boy." He says sadly.

"You still look pretty young sir so certainly old age has no effect on you"

He laughs and pats my shoulder a couple times.

"Order for 1 cheese" the staff over the counter yells.

"Oh that's me, excuse me for a second sir"

As I remove my wallet to pay, Henry approaches and pushes my wallet away and says "No son, this ones on the house, as a thank you for bringing success to my little shop" "oh thank you sir and you very well deserve it"

I thank him again for the free pizza and bid goodbye.

I return to my canvas and start to paint while I eat the wonderful free pizza. I then think of my soulmate, would he or she let me paint them? Would they like it? My soulmate would be absolutely gorgeous and I would definitely paint them. After a rough, casual paining of the night sky I return home and lay on my bed. Sometime our soulmates mood affects our mood, my mood never really changed suddenly so I guess my soulmate is a pretty calm person. I hope they're excited to meet me. I know I am.

LUCY POV.

I woke up at about 8am by a text from my best friend, Mia. She already found her soulmate, Milo. They were going for a vacation to Hawaii, which they invited me to but I declined as I have no interest in third wheeling a new couple.

"Hey lus, wake up I'm about to leave for the airport in a bit"

"So? What should I do with that information from down the alley."

"So! Come over so that you miss me when I'm gone."

"Mia, it's 8am, I slept late last night as I had to practice, have a safe flight, text me when you land, love you loads."

"No, wake up and come over"

I leave her on read and go back to the comforts of my bed. After about 20 mins, the door bell rings. I have to go get it as my parents are in a hotel for a month for an art exhibition by a nerd named Noah Heavens. I'll go accompany them on the last exhibitions which is in 20 days. I'm gonna meet my soulmate in 20 days. I hope that doesn't get messed up.

I groan and walk towards the door and it's a screaming Mia, she just won't leave me alone will she? She came in with her luggage which was one suitcase and backpack, I'm pretty proud of her cause I expected 5 suitcases and 5 backpacks.

"Is this all your luggage for the week?" I inquire.

"Yes, so less right! But milo convinced me to take just one bag as we could buy stuff there"

"Uh huh, makes sense"

"Milo is gonna come pick me up so I came here to wait, anyways, how is your cello practice going" she asked

"Well, it's good but I'm kinda bummed you won't be there." "Don't let that affect you, I'll be watching you live so don't worry"

Mia always attended all of my performances and this will be one of the first performances in which she won't attend and I'm kinda a bit sad about that. Mia is always the first one to start to clap when I'm done and I've always seen her jumping and hyping me up. I have a lot of fans from all age groups but I think Mia is my biggest fan and I appreciate it, she even gives me her honest opinion on my music, if something sounds odd she lets me know.

A few minutes later I hear a car pull into the driveway, after a minute the door bell rings and it's milo, her face lights up and gives him a quick kiss, at which I cringe.

"Hey Lucy, how you been?"

"Better milo, thanks." I reply

"Cmon babe, we need to leave to check in for the flight" "Oh alright let me say bye"

Mia gives me a hug, telling me to take care of myself and eat on time and to call and text her everyday. Everything at which I just nod to. Such a Mom.

By the time we're done saying goodbyes, Milo has already taken Mia's bag and popped it into the trunk, Mia gets into the car and they drive off while waving bye to me.

I wave back till they're out of sight and go inside the house to my bathroom for a shower, after I was done I ate breakfast which my cook prepared while I showered. I ask her to join me and she denies at first but I insist and serve her a plate which makes her sit with me. After I was done I went to practice for my performance later in the week.

Does my soulmate enjoy classical music ? Would he or she listen to my music and enjoy it? I hope so or it would get really awkward.
