CHAPTER 15

Selia gently tugged at Jungkook's arm, her demeanor fraught with nervousness, causing her words to come out as a hushed murmur. Her timid utterances fell on deaf ears, prompting Jungkook to lean closer, his warm breath caressing her ear as he inquired softly, "What is it that you want, princess?" Selia's cheeks flushed deeply, and she instinctively buried her face further into the crook of his neck before she replied in an equally discreet whisper, "I'm hungry and I need to go to the toilet."

Jungkook responded to her plea with a tender chuckle. He complied with her request and rose from his seat, helping Selia to her feet as she reached for her trusty white cane. Maintaining physical contact with her skin, he carefully guided her in the direction of what he believed to be the restroom.

Unbeknownst to Selia, Jungkook led her to the bathroom attached to his own bedroom. He made this decision with the intention of providing her with a more comfortable and private environment, understanding that her embarrassment was a valid concern. Simultaneously, he needed to attend to his own biological needs, rendering the choice pragmatic.

Within the bathroom's confines, they conducted their respective activities, all the while ensuring they maintained the reassuring contact with each other's skin. The presence of music playing through their earphones served to alleviate the potential awkwardness of the situation, allowing both Selia and Jungkook a semblance of privacy and comfort.

Following the completion of their tasks, Jungkook led Selia to the kitchen, where Jin was diligently at work, conjuring up a delectable aroma that filled the air. The tantalizing scent caused Selia's mouth to water, despite her awareness that her dietary restrictions limited her ability to indulge. Nevertheless, she relished the idea of savoring the flavors, cherishing the experience that transcended mere sustenance.

Selia's olfactory perception was immediately captivated by the enticing aroma wafting from Jin's culinary endeavors. She couldn't help but remark, "It smells delightful, Jin," her voice reflecting genuine appreciation. In her hand, she held her dependable white cane, an unobtrusive tool that she would soon employ with dexterity.

In response to Selia's compliment, Jin responded with warmth and humor, his laughter resonating in the air. "Well, I certainly hope you'll find the flavors as enjoyable as the fragrance, Selia," he remarked, his culinary skills not only eliciting a culinary anticipation but also a moment of shared laughter between the two, underscoring the convivial atmosphere in the kitchen.

The exchange of goodbyes with Jin marked a momentous point in the interaction, as Selia, in her earnest attempts to make her presence known, inadvertently struck Jin's foot with her white cane. With this small, unintentional gesture, they bid Jin farewell, setting the stage for a more private and tranquil interlude.

Jungkook assumed the role of Selia's guide once more, escorting her to the library, a sanctuary of silence amidst the impending cacophony that the presence of their companions promised. His intention was clear: a desire for a peaceful interlude with Selia before they would rejoin the boisterous company of the boys.

Seated comfortably in a lounge chair, Jungkook gently positioned Selia on his lap, creating a physical closeness that they both found comforting. Selia, in her characteristically candid manner, couldn't help but voice a concern, even amidst the unexpected intimacy. Her words tumbled forth in an anxious ramble, "When are you going to put on a shirt? Not that I mind, but my face keeps hitting your stomach, and I—I don't mind anymore, but I don't want you to catch a cold."

Selia's apprehensions centered around the necessity of constant skin contact, an essential aspect of their unique soulmate bond. The idea of Jungkook falling ill due to her direct contact was a source of distress she grappled with, even as she contemplated the minor discomfort of clammy hands.

Jungkook, responding with reassuring tenderness, sought to allay her concerns. "It's perfectly fine, Selia," he reassured her. "I'm not cold, and your presence warms me. Additionally, the connection we share through our soulmate bond offers a level of immunity to sickness." His words, delivered with confidence, aimed to ease her worries and cement their trust in the unique and profound bond they shared.
