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...
A/N: Just really quick. I keep forgetting to mention it. A few chapters back there was an investigative discussion regarding the acronyms of the group. TDS has many stumped, and I honestly forgot to point out that user Mamottelite mentioned destruction. Which the word isn't correct regarding TDS, but it is on the right track.
Also, I've actually said it straight out in a previous chapter with Namjoon and Daisy. I've both found it in my research and seen it in subtitles of a BTS video on BangtanTV. (I don't recall which one however.)

I really wish I could say that after our talk last night I simply let go of my annoyance and anger. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. When we sat down to eat at the restaurant overlooking the beautiful sea I wanted to be in a better mood simply so I could enjoy the atmosphere and their company. Instead I found the smile I kept on my face forced, and the food on my plate barely palatable.
Every bite I took of the rich seafood ravioli settled into my stomach like a big ball of lead. It was only after I was back in my room that I dared to drink a bottle of Sprite and take an antacid or two in an attempt to get my stomach to calm down. I had never had motion sickness before but I imagine it felt something like I did last night. On the good side I didn't end up praying to the porcelain deity. I only had to deal with my stomach being exceptionally unhappy with me.
After tossing and turning over and over again for the first couple of hours once I got up and paced for a bit. Once I laid down afterward I ended up setting an alarm because I hadn't been certain that I would wake up on my own this time around. I got very little sleep over all, and what sleep I did end up getting was riddled with unsettling dreams. It was only five minutes ago that I turned my alarm clock off, but there is a part of me that is tempted to simply remain here in bed for another hour. Too bad I am pretty sure this is going to be one of those days where we are crunching to get everything done before the ship disembarks.
I sigh and decide that taking a shower is probably the next step I should take this morning. I am sure that I linger under the showerhead longer than I should before I ever start the orderly steps of my cleansing routine. I have just dried off, twisted an extra towel around my head like a turban, and put on the terry cloth robe that the ship's cleaning staff gifted each of us when a large rapping sound echoes from my door.
