Third person point of view
Junkyu finally moved into Haruto's house. They had to change a few things in Haruto's room and put the excess things in the guest bedroom. They both did it together and finished it sooner. Junkyu was cleaning up the shelves in the kitchen to put some cutlery he brought from his house. He looked for space and found an empty cabinet.
He tried to put a bowl in but it hit something. He reached his hand behind and touched something. He frowned and raised his heels to try to get it. Haruto walked in with a box and saw him stuggling. " What happened ? " Junkyu stood properly. " There is something there ". Haruto raised an eyebrow and put the box aside.
He reached inside and took out a paper packaging. Junkyu was a bit fascinated and also envious of the height. Haruto's eyebrows furrowed when he saw the packaging in his hand. " What is it ? " " I am not sure ". Haruto said and took the packaging off. There was a cup inside. Junkyu took it and looked at it.
The cup was pretty simple. It has a hand drawn with red threads tangled up and it was as if it was reaching out to something. Haruto frowned harder looking at it. He finally remembered after examining it for a few seconds. " I remember now. I bought it at some store because I thought it was nice. Guess I forgot about it after putting it there ".
Junkyu nodded. He suddenly looked up at Haruto with wide eyes. Haruto had a questioning gaze. Junkyu gave the cup to Haruto. He went to the box Haruto just brought in and opened it. He also took out a cup and put them side by side. The cups were a mirror image of each other. Haruto was surprised.
They both looked at each other fora few seconds. Junkyu spoke in a small voice, " I think I know which store you got it at ". Haruto nodded. " Isn't this destiny ? " Junkyu asked and Haruto nodded. " It really is ". Both of them smiled. They put the cups side by side and got to work, putting the other things away.
A few days before Junkyu and Haruto met
The helper put all the cups on the shelf and also labeled them carefully one after the other. When he came to the last one, he noticed it was the same as the first one he put. He let out a groan and rubbed his hair in frustration. " What happened ? " The owner, who was a middle aged man, walked up to him.
The helper showed the cup. " I already labeled them but this one seems to be a pair with the other one. I might have to change them all again ". The middle aged man glanced at the cup and smiled. " It is fine. Just put it in this corner ". The helper nodded and did as told. He tied up and went to put the box away.
Junkyu was out to do some shopping when he noticed a new shop. He was attracted to it and took steps toward it. He walked into the store and looked around. There were different kinds of pottery and other ceramic items. He was about to leave but stopped near the cups section. He found the cup at the corner and was instantly intrigued by it.
Junkyu picked it up and smiled. He liked it and decided to get it. He went to the counter to get it billed. The man smiled when he saw the cup and packed it up. " Things which are meant for them will reach them ". Junkyu smiled but didn't say anything. He took the cup and walked out. He turned to his right and walked away.
Haruto was passing by when he saw the new store. He raised an eyebrow and went to the store. He broke one recently and wanted to get a plate. So he went to the section and looked for some plates. He found one he liked and picked it up. He passed by the cups section and saw the cup there. He felt his heart pulling him to get it.
He didn't understand the weird feeling. But he still picked it up. He went to get all the things billed. The man smiled again when he saw the cup and packed Haruto's things for him. " I hope you meet your other half soon ". Haruto chuckled at the statement. " Thank you ". He walked out with the cover.
