The year someone turns 18 they have the opportunity to be injected with a serum that will produce a soulmate mark somewhere on their body. This serum is costly and the procedure to get the injection is not covered by insurance.
A rare illness cropp...

Turns out the breakfast that my soulmates planned out for me was a light berry and spinach salad and an additional fruit plate that they had cut up and hid away in the kimchi fridge, which I can only imagine was so I wouldn't touch it before breakfast this morning. I only knew of its location at all because of the good morning text message I got from them just as I woke up this morning. "Huh. They must have known you would have a nervous stomach this morning." Skai comments when he sees the containers I pulled out for myself. I only knew they were there because each of them texted me this morning in the group chat, and Jin himself alerted me of their hidden location.
"Wait. What are you all going to eat?" I ask out immediate concern.
Eun Jin wraps an arm around my shoulder and briefly hugs me for a moment before explaining. "Don't worry. I'm pretty good in the kitchen. I'll work out something for us."
"Yes," Geong Min nods. "I'll help her out, but you should focus on your own food."
Jiwoo checks her phone. "The stylists will be here in about an hour. That should give you enough time to both eat and take a shower."
I nod, but admittedly my appetite is next to nonexistent. I know it is because I am a crazy amalgamation of both overly anxious and excited energy. It doesn't help that I know everything is currently being set up outside on the far side of the house as we speak. That fact is punctuated by how I periodically will hear a noise outside reminding me of the staff that was hired for the event outside setting up things.
Skai puts a hand on my back. I know immediately he has seen me struggling, and is trying to get me to maintain focus. "Girl, you are way too on edge. I understand why, but you don't want to end up lightheaded during the ceremony. Please focus and eat. Your soulmates took great care in preparing this for you."
I nod and focus solely on my food and do my best to completely block the world outside this kitchen. My newfound sisters have turned on the stereo and are dancing around the kitchen. I grin to myself, because I am 99.9% sure that they are doing it to redirect my thoughts to their silliness in an attempt to get my mind off of the ceremony itself and also all the steps I need to take to get ready for it.
Despite my initial lack of appetite, I amazingly manage to eat most of the salad and fruit plate. Jiwoo takes the nearly empty dishes from me and commands me to go and take my shower now. I can't help but grin at her for a moment and run upstairs to do exactly as she says.
Once I am out of the shower I quickly dress in the bra and panty set I plan to wear today. Then I put on a big terry cloth robe over that. I am not putting on the dress until after my makeup and hair are both already taken care of. Footsteps heard outside my door have me getting up and opening it before a knock is ever placed. I smile when I find the same two stylists that helped me out on the night of the club group date standing on the other side of the doorway.
