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...
As I head downstairs with my suitcase in tow I am surprised to find that none of my soulmates seem to be lingering about anywhere in the immediate vicinity. My cell phone chimes out a notification so I pull it out of my purse and check what the message that I just received might be about.
Joonie: Don't worry about the rest of us, Baby. We will see you tomorrow.
I didn't realize that I was uneasy until after reading that text, and I automatically took a deep breath as right away I found myself relaxing due to that information. I think subconsciously I might have worried that they were upset that I was being 'kidnapped' away from the rest of them for the night. I smile as I comprehend that the opposite is true. They are instead freely giving us this moment of alone time together.
The suitcase I am toting along isn't even remotely heavy, but the minute I shut the door behind me I find Han Bin beside me taking it from me as if it was filled with cement bricks or something at least as equally as heavy. He opens the side door for me before putting the suitcase in the trunk.
Once he gets in I smile warmly, albeit apologetically, at him. "I'm sorry that we didn't invite the staff to the ceremony, Han Bin. Truthfully, I would have liked to have you there. It would have been nice to see another warm familiar face." I don't vocalize the reason why we didn't invite any of the Big Hit staff members. He is already quite aware how we are being extra precautious since the club night and my pseudo attack. We couldn't very well invite the few that we do trust explicitly and not the others without unintentionally raising suspicion. The only member of security that had been in the vicinity at all had been the one working the gate. With how busy I was today, I am not even sure of which member it was.
He shakes his head at me, bringing me back to the present with both the action and his response. "It's okay, Daisy. Truthfully, aside from myself and a couple of other members of security I trust explicitly, no one else even knows about the ceremony." Because I simply can't control my own curiosity I ask him who is in that circle of trust of his. "Only a few honestly. Jaegeun, Byung-hoon, Chi-won, Minjae, and Korain."
The minute he says Korain my body seems to freeze. "Korain?" I ask, my immediate concern and shocked surprise obviously coloring my voice.
He looks at me briefly in the rearview mirror noticeably trying to get a read on my reaction. "Ah. That's right, Jungkook-ssi told you about that one occurrence." He pauses for a moment to make a sharp turn. "Let's just say that there was more to that moment than appeared. I can't divulge the story though, that would betray the trust he has in me."
Naturally, I can't help but be interested to know more, but I know that I won't get more out of him than he already told me. I have of course wondered if perhaps there was more to the story since the company didn't let him go. The thing is though, over the past few months I have gotten the impression that the staff of Big Hit seems to not only follow what's best for the business, but they seem to lead with their heart and intuition on many things also as well. So, in my head, I had been chalking it up to the possibility that perhaps Big Hit was simply giving him a second chance. Now, however, I am naturally more puzzled than ever.
I look outside as we cross over a very populated area near Han river. The darkening sky is quickly lit up by the numerous lights coming from the windows of several tall office buildings. One building stands out significantly amongst the rest due to its unusual almost rocket-like shape and the fact that it towers above the others against the backdrop of the growing dark panel of the indigo colored evening sky. Color me shocked when only a few minutes later Han Bin turns into the drive of this building. "Is this where I am staying tonight?"
