MASTERLIST

A/N: My requests are open if there is anything you want me to write!

You and your soulmate are connected by dreams - your soulmate is hidden in your dreams; you can see them but you never interact...

ever since you turned 15 years old, you had been having these very odd dreams

they were lucid, almost

you could still control your actions, but you were still asleep

it was like you were living inside your own mind

however, as you started having more of these dreams, you noticed there was a pattern

there was one person that always showed up in your dream at some point

he looked about your age, and was about as aimless as you

he was always showing up, like a background character in a movie

you tried talking about it with your friends, but none of them could interpret why you were dreaming like this

after one night’s dream, you got an idea

you grabbed a piece of paper and began to draw the person that you had constantly seen in your dreams

when you woke up, you would draw a new picture, just so you could get more of a visual

with every dream, every sketch became better and more detail

you still had no idea why you were seeing him in your dreams until you started talking about the origins of soulmates in school

one of the first markers that emerged was dreams

you would have regular dreams, but one thing that was always the same was the appearance of your soulmate

they would always appear in every dream you had, no matter what the subject matter

and thats when your whole life flipped turned upside down

the person you were seeing in your dream was your soulmate

that only made your sketches that much more precious to you

because if you couldn’t communicate with your soulmate, at least you could memorize their face

meanwhile, Winwin was still trying to figure out why he was seeing your face in his dreams

you had been there for a while, and he had never really noticed until recently

he asked some of the older boys if they knew what was going on

they explained that it could be his soulmate, because that was one of the more common markers

even though he just nodded, Winwin was exploding on the inside

to know that there was someone out there that was his soulmate was a lot to take in

he knew that this was something that could affect his future as a musician, so he kept it to himself

some time passes, and your memories of your soulmate continued to add up

you kept them all in a single sketchbook, and whenever you were feeling down about the world, you’d look through it

the reminder that there was this person out there brought you a little joy

this one night, you were up late attempting to cram for an important final that you had in a few days

you were feeling incredibly drowsy, so you decided you needed something to perk you up

you gathered some of the leftover stuff you had to study and headed out into the night to find some food

you had started to crave some ice cream, so you headed to the little ice cream parlor near campus

you got in there and ordered your usual flavor before sitting down at one of the tables they had in there

you tried to get some extra studying as you ate your ice cream, but your mind began to drift

and so, you started to doodle

but not just any old doodles

you started to sketch out the face of your soulmate, the person in your dreams

you don’t know what compelled you to do it, but you continued, your studying long forgotten

about this time, Winwin had began to have a craving for sweets

after letting the boys know he was going out for a while, he headed out the same ice cream parlor that you were in

you had just about finished the sketch, spoon of ice cream in your mouth, when you heard the bell on the door ring

the haze of your daydreaming floated away as you snapped up to see who walked in

and that is when you felt the world stop

standing there in the doorway, in the softest hoodie you had ever seen, was the person you had just been sketching

the person from your dreams

your soulmate

all you could do was stare at him as he walked past you to the counter to get his ice cream

you looked at him in awe

he was even more handsome than you could have ever imagined

your sketches did not do him justice

you realized you had probably been staring for way too long

but it was too late

he had already turned around

Winwin felt like he couldn’t breathe

he had just come out for some ice cream

but yet here you were, his soulmate, sitting at one of the tables, looking exhausted with a spoon hanging out of your mouth

it was in this moment that you realized how crazy you must have looked, and you snapped out of your daze, taking the spoon out of your mouth

you started to stutter out some words as the two of you continued to stare at each other

you barely even noticed that he had started inching his way over to you

“is that me?” he asked

your eyes shoot down to the sketch you had been making...of him...

you scramble to hide it, feeling a bit flustered and embarrassed that you were caught sketching him

“i-its nothing r-really...”

“may I see it?”

your words stopped in your throat again as you quietly took the chair next to you, gesturing to where the sketch was

you gingerly moved it out from hiding, handing it to him before hiding your face in your hands

“this is really amazing” he muttered

you could see a slight shade of pink grow on his cheeks

“thank you” you muttered back

“I’m Sicheng, but everyone calls me Winwin...”

“(Y/N),” you gave him a slight, awkward wave before silence loomed over you again

you were sitting in the middle of an ice cream parlor attempting to study for a final in the middle of the night with your newly found soulmate, how could you NOT be awkward?

thankfully, you were not alone in your flustered feelings because Winwin was internally screaming the entire time he was sitting next to you

after getting his order, he sat back at your table, this time with a bit more confidence in him

“so...what are you doing?” he asked

he mentally smacked himself for asking such a boring, generic question, but at least it was something

“i was attempting to study for a final that I have soon, but as you can see I got a bit distracted...” you admitted

the two of you shared a chuckle

“You’re a student?” 

“yes, sadly. what about you?”

he looked at you with a confused expression

“you mean...you don’t recognize me at all?”

you shook your head no

“i mean, from my dreams, sure, but not outside of that” you confirmed

“I’m...kind of an idol? A musician?” he confessed

that’s when a vague memory popped into your head

your friend had been talking a little while back about a new boy group called nct 127, telling you a little about all the members - including Winwin

“oh my gosh, you’re from that group, nct 127 aren’t you?”

“you know it?”

“no, but one of my friends does. they love you guys” you told him

a smile grew on his face that absolutely melted your heart 

he was really the cutest thing you had ever seen, and he was your soulmate

“i guess i have time to learn about you all, right?” you joked

he nodded and ate another bite of ice cream

he could feel his heart swelling the more you smiled at him

even though you both probably looked tired and weird in the parlor, you found comfort knowing you were in it together

“if you want to take a break, we could go out for a bit. We’d have to be careful, but i still have some time before I have to get back to the dorm” he suggested

“uh, sure” you smiled at him, starting to pack up your stuff

“do you mind if I keep this?”

you looked to see that he was talking about the sketch that he had caught you making earlier

your heart nearly exploded with joy as you told him that he could keep it

the two of you walked out into the night, ice cream in hand, covered in hoodies that may have been a size too big

neither of you could remember the last time you had felt so relaxed

the two of you walked around for a bit in the quiet of the night, talking about your lives and getting to know each other

it felt like you had been out for hours, but really, it had been much shorter

“oh shoot,” Winwin gasped “I gotta get back to the dorm soon. Do you have any plans soon? after your final?”

you shook your head no and he gave you a gentle smile before handing you his phone

“here, put your number in. we’ll do this again soon, i promise”

you put your number in his phone before handing it back to him 

he smiled before starting to walk away

“good night, (Y/N)” he wished you

“good night, Winwin. Sweet dreams” you joked with him

you two shared a knowing look before walking off in separate directions

even though you had met as soulmates, that didn’t change a single thing

you still appeared in each other’s dreams

only this time, you were by each other’s side, never to be alone again
