Y/n rubbed her eyes groggily as the morning sunlight peeked through her curtains, signaling the start of another day. With a soft yawn, she stretched her arms above her head, feeling the warmth of her cozy bed enveloping her. However, the realization that she had to get ready for school quickly dispelled any lingering drowsiness.

Rolling out of bed, Y/n shuffled over to her closet, debating on what to wear. After a moment of contemplation, she settled on a simple yet stylish outfit, opting for comfort over extravagance. With practiced efficiency, she slipped into her clothes and brushed her hair into a neat ponytail before grabbing her backpack and heading downstairs.

The aroma of breakfast wafted through the air as Y/n entered the kitchen, where her mother was busy preparing a hearty meal. "Good morning, sweetie," her mother greeted with a warm smile. "Happy birthday!"

Y/n's heart fluttered with excitement at the reminder. Today marked her 18th birthday, a milestone she had been eagerly anticipating for weeks. But what made this day even more special was the tradition that had been passed down through generations in her family.

Today was the day when the universe would reveal the name of her soulmate, a mysterious and long-awaited event that had filled her with both anticipation and nerves.

After exchanging pleasantries with her mother and grabbing a quick breakfast, Y/n made her way to school. The sun was shining brightly overhead, casting a golden glow over the familiar streets as she walked.

Upon arriving at school, Y/n took her usual seat in the classroom, her mind buzzing with excitement and anticipation. As she unpacked her books, her friend Eric slid into the seat beside her, a mischievous grin playing on his lips.

"Hey there, birthday girl," Eric greeted with a playful wink. "I hope you're ready for the big reveal!"

Y/n laughed, feeling a surge of gratitude for her thoughtful friend. "Thanks, Eric. I'm definitely feeling excited, but also a little nervous."

As the day progressed, Y/n couldn't shake the feeling of anticipation that tingled in the pit of her stomach. With each passing hour, her excitement grew, until finally, the school bell rang, signaling the end of the day.

As she gathered her belongings and prepared to leave, Y/n's phone buzzed with a message from her mother. With a pang of disappointment, she read the message, informing her that her parents wouldn't be able to celebrate her birthday with her due to work commitments.

Despite the initial disappointment, Y/n brushed off the feeling, reminding herself that she still had Eric by her side. With a smile, she replied to her mother's message, assuring her that she understood and that she would make the most of her birthday.

True to her word, Y/n spent the evening celebrating with Eric, who had planned a surprise birthday party just for her. With a cake adorned with candles, thoughtful gifts, and her favorite music playing in the background, it was a night she would never forget.

As the clock struck midnight, Y/n felt a sense of anticipation wash over her once again. With bated breath, she sat at the table with Eric by her side, her eyes fixed on her arm, waiting for the universe to reveal the name of her soulmate.

But what she saw left her utterly speechless.

Seven names, each written in elegant script, adorned her arm, leaving her mind reeling with disbelief. Seven soulmates? It was unheard of, unprecedented, and completely unexpected.

As she stared at the names etched onto her skin, Y/n couldn't help but wonder what fate had in store for her. Little did she know, this was just the beginning of an extraordinary journey that would change her life forever.
