CHAPTER 23

In the quiet expanse of the night, Selia found herself ensnared in the labyrinth of her thoughts, unable to succumb to the embrace of sleep. Her mind, a cacophony of inquiries, traversed the realms of existence, questioning the very essence of her being and the cosmic forces that had chosen her. While the weight of destiny pressed upon her, Selia, in an honest admission, acknowledged the peculiar role assigned to her, a role she didn't entirely resent.

However, the tranquility of her acceptance was disrupted by the somber echoes of loss. Her father, a beacon of familial love, and her presumed aunt, shrouded in uncertainty, had departed, leaving behind the emptiness of their absence. These were the figures she had grown up with, the pillars of her foundation, now reduced to the haunting whispers of memory.

The narrative twisted as she delved into the mystery of her maternal figure, once disguised as an affectionate aunt. The revelation of her true identity unraveled a complex tapestry of emotions, turning warmth into betrayal. Selia grappled with the perplexing question of why her own mother sought to sever ties between her and Jungkook. Forgiveness lingered in her heart, but the residue of confusion persisted.

The cosmic irony deepened as Selia contemplated the rationale behind being bestowed with multiple soulmates. A quirk of fate intended to compensate for the loss inflicted by the universe – blindness exchanged for a photographic memory, a cosmic equilibrium. The pain of losing her beloved parents became a poignant contrast to the unexpected boon of seven soulmates, each a puzzle piece in the intricate design of her destiny.

Restless and weary from the ceaseless tossing in her bed, Selia rose to her feet. A familiar companion, her white cane, became an extension of her resolve as she ventured into the hushed corridors of her home. Each step resonated with the unspoken questions that danced in her mind, a nocturnal exploration seeking reprieve from the tumultuous thoughts that held her captive. The house, an archive of memories and unanswered inquiries, invited her to wander in the hope that the rhythmic cadence of her footsteps might drown out the echoes of uncertainty that plagued her restless night.

In the quiet of the night, the rhythmic tap of Selia's white cane echoed through the dimly lit corridor, a pathway to the kitchen etched in her memory. The anticipation of brewing tea fueled her steps, an attempt to soothe the restlessness that lingered in her awakened state.

As she entered the kitchen, guided by her mental map, a sudden collision disrupted the solitude. The harmonized symphony of startled screams reverberated – one belonging to Selia, and the other, an unfamiliar voice that sliced through the silence.

"Holy shit, Selia. You scared me," the voice quivered, reciprocating the shock that clung to the air. Selia, still on edge, sought clarity from the unseen presence. "Who are you?" she inquired, her voice trembling like the ripples of unease.

"Oh yeah, haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Yoongi, one of your soulmates," he revealed, a revelation that stirred Selia's senses. The acknowledgment of her name provided a sliver of reassurance, yet uncertainty lingered in the air.

Yoongi, the intruder to Selia's solitude, probed gently, questioning the reasons behind her insomnia. Selia, with a muffled confession, admitted, "I couldn't sleep." A hum of understanding escaped Yoongi, linking their shared struggle in the quiet hours of the night.

"Well, that makes both of us," Yoongi remarked, extending an unexpected camaraderie. Determined to ease the tension, he proposed, "I'm going to make you a cup of tea, and if you want to talk, be my guest."

In the fragile stillness that followed, Selia hesitated before voicing her vulnerability. "Is it not weird, you just find out I'm your soulmate? I'm blind, which doesn't make it better, and I'm just added into your life, like it is very normal," she expressed, her thoughts unraveling into the darkness.

"Selia, this moment may seem peculiar to you, but rest assured, we've anticipated your arrival for quite a while. A room tailored just for you awaits – a familiar ritual for us. While it might be overwhelming for you, consider this a sanctuary. We comprehend the journey you've undertaken. Feel free to share your thoughts, seek solace in conversation, or even embrace the comfort of a hug. We are your soulmates, devoted to supporting you in every conceivable way. Just communicate your needs, Selia," Yoongi's words resonated, penetrating the depths of her heart, acknowledging a truth she sensed within.

"Now, savor your tea, and retreat to your haven for a well-deserved rest. Your rejuvenating sleep is paramount," Yoongi added with a gentle yet commanding tone. Selia responded with a radiant smile, her laughter echoing in response to his caring directive.
