It's just a rough time indication of an imminent event but it's got to be taken in context.
Example:
1. Q: When are you going to get off the computer?
A: Soon.
Meaning, maybe 2 or 3 minutes.
2. Q: When is the world's oil supply going to run out?
A: Soon.
Meaning, maybe 2 or 3 years (or maybe decades)

soon is the term used when we are not really too keen on doing something quickly or especially seeing someone in the near future - it avoids having to pin down an appointment as in " I'll see you soon" is really saying "I kinda like ya but maybe next year "

just depends what ur after?
My wife says we will go shopping soon and we're out the door within 5 minutes.
When I ask her what time we will be having a bit of nookie, she says soon, and that usually means not tonight babe
