A cute blind soul || Soulmate AU || BTS OT7 x reader

CHAPTER 6

One week had passed since the incident, yet its impact lingered in your thoughts. The weight of uncertainty weighed heavily on your mind as you grappled with the realization that he might have been one of your soulmates. However, the name that belonged to this intriguing individual eluded your memory, leaving you in a state of contemplation. Although he had exhibited kindness, the nagging question of whether most of your soulmates would possess such a trait remained unanswered. The constant presence of anxiety persisted, interrupting moments of relaxation and even permeating your attempts to find solace in sleep.

Determined to put an end to the incessant mental turmoil, you resolved to visit the park your aunt had introduced to you just the day before. Fortunately, your exceptional photographic memory provided a valuable advantage in this endeavor, compensating for your inability to see. Every detail of the park's layout, such as the time it took before making turns and the exact number of steps required at each juncture, was etched clearly in your mind.

Equipped with your trusty white cane, you stepped outside, bidding a swift farewell to your aunt. Embarking on your journey, you retraced the path you had taken the previous day, relying on your recollection of every twist and turn.

Selia, filled with a sense of accomplishment, experienced a surge of pride as she confidently maneuvered through the bustling streets of Seoul unaccompanied. Reflecting on her journey, she recalled the days when insecurity plagued her, even as recently as yesterday. Yet, here she was, striding forward with her white cane, feeling a twinge of foolishness for ever entertaining such doubts. After all, there was nothing to fear, except perhaps inadvertent collisions with unaware pedestrians of the male gender.

However, amidst the backdrop of her newfound confidence, Selia found herself confronted with a disquieting challenge: the daunting task of traversing a busy intersection alone. Standing at the precipice of the street, she felt a palpable sense of paralysis, as the ceaseless flow of people seemed to render her motionless in that very spot.

In a moment of serendipity, a gentle hand landed upon her arm, eliciting a familiar tingling sensation that coursed through her body. A compassionate voice broke the silence, offering her assistance in navigating the treacherous crossing. Overwhelmed with relief, Selia exhaled a deep sigh and gratefully accepted the stranger's offer.

"Yes, please," Selia replied, her voice tinged with gratitude. As the stranger's hand softly gripped her arm, she felt a renewed sense of security as they embarked on the perilous journey together, weaving through the labyrinthine maze of pedestrians.

Step by step, the compassionate stranger guided Selia across the chaotic intersection, deftly maneuvering through the throngs of people. Sensing her vulnerability, he provided a steady presence, ensuring her safety throughout the arduous crossing.

Upon reaching the other side of the street, Selia and her newfound companion paused momentarily, basking in the triumph of their joint endeavor. Breaking the silence, the man's voice resonated with warmth and amusement, "Well, we made it in one piece."

A smile graced Selia's face as she replied, "Indeed, we did. Before we bid farewell, may I inquire as to the name of the gentleman who graciously assisted me?" A flicker of anticipation danced in her heart, for she pondered the possibility that this man's name might coincide with that of one of her soulmates. The tingling sensation she experienced seemed to confirm her intuition, assuring her that this encounter held a significant meaning.

"The name is Jin," the man responded, his voice carrying a hint of curiosity. Selia's smile widened, as she welcomed the resonance of the name within her being.

"Selia," she introduced herself, savoring the sweet exchange of their names, as though a subtle connection had been forged between them.
