CHAPTER 26

Upon Selia's inaugural entrance into the opulent residence, a mansion that dwarfed her expectations, she consciously relinquished her white cane in her room, embarking on a well-practiced route leading to the living room, a place she envisioned encountering Jungkook. Her aim was an innocent desire—no carnal undertones—but an intense longing for the tactile reassurance of his hands upon her person.

Navigating the grand hall, Selia, despite her blindness, perceptively collided not with an unseen obstacle but a tangible presence. She staggered backward, only to be gracefully steadied by an unseen benefactor, their hands connecting in a spontaneous yet tender union. A realization struck her: the sudden electric charge coursing through them was a result of bare skin contact, her previously untouched hands now exposed.

Interrupted by the unforeseen connection, Jimin voiced apologies, their shared distraction betraying an undeniable undercurrent of tension. Observing this exchange, Jin, a silent spectator, inadvertently dropped his glass upon realizing the significance of the skin-to-skin encounter.

Employing an authoritative tone, Jin commanded, "Jimin, you have no choice now. Take her up to your room and commence the bonding process." The gravity of this instruction underscored the urgency and significance of the ensuing course of action.

Jin, assuming an active role in orchestrating the unfolding events, further articulated his involvement by stating, "I'm going to the kitchen to prepare something for both of you." This pronouncement revealed not only Jin's assertive control over the narrative but also his commitment to facilitating an environment conducive to the nascent connection between Jimin and Selia.

Jimin, compelled by the directives of Jin, manifested a nod of compliance, signifying his acknowledgment and acquiescence to the prescribed course of action. Exhibiting a nuanced understanding of the situation, Jimin strategically grasped Selia's upper arm, a deliberate measure taken to preclude any inadvertent skin-to-skin contact. The subtlety of this action, covering her arm with the protective barrier of her sleeve, bespoke Jimin's attentiveness to the delicate nature of their interactions.

In compliance, Jimin, guided Selia with a deliberate avoidance of further skin contact, acutely aware of the implications of their unintended intimacy. As they traversed the corridors, he wrestled with the unintended consequences of their encounter, pondering the nuances of a connection that had materialized beyond his intentions, contemplating the irreversible nature of the ensuing bond. He found himself at a crossroads, realizing that their interaction had far-reaching implications that went beyond his control. Fighting against the turmoil in his mind, Jimin grappled with the weight of the impending decisions, understanding that the next steps would shape not just their lives, but the lives of those around them. Especially Taehyung's.

In a pivotal moment characterized by a palpable sense of vulnerability and intimacy, Jimin presented Selia with a garment, encouraging her to divest herself of her pants if she felt comfortable doing so. The proposition, underscored by the potential benefits of enhanced skin-to-skin contact, set the stage for a nuanced exploration of their interpersonal dynamics.

Soliciting Selia's consent with a delicately phrased inquiry, Jimin broached the subject of his own state of undress. Articulating his rationale, he conveyed, "Selia, do you mind if I am just in my underwear? It also facilitates skin-to-skin contact." Selia, exhibiting a nuanced understanding of the therapeutic nature of physical closeness, acquiesced to Jimin's proposal. This moment of mutual agreement marked the convergence of physicality and emotional intimacy, encapsulating the complexity of their burgeoning connection.

Navigating the inner recesses of her contemplations, Selia acknowledged the undeniable allure of Jimin's proximity. Drawing a mental parallel with her previous experiences with Jungkook, she pondered the potential nuances of Jimin's touch, both in its mental and physical manifestations. The anticipation of their impending cuddle session held an air of intrigue, with Selia harboring curiosity about the unique imprint Jimin would leave upon her psyche.

As the duo reclined upon the bed, poised to engage in an embrace, the atmosphere was punctuated by a luminous blue energy that materialized after a brief interval. This ethereal manifestation marked the commencement of the bonding process, an elemental force binding them in a metaphysical union. The luminosity mirrored the intangible threads of connection being woven between Jimin and Selia, emphasizing the transformative nature of this shared experience.

In the quiet confines of their shared sanctuary, Jimin gently described the vibrant world around them to Selia, his words weaving a tapestry of colors and sensations. "Selia, the air is filled with a gentle warmth, like the embrace of sunlight on a tranquil morning," he began, his voice a soothing melody. "And as I look at you, there's this luminous blue energy that dances around, reflecting the beauty within your soul."

Selia listened intently, her other senses heightened, absorbing Jimin's poetic depiction of the world. "Jimin, your words paint pictures in my mind. I can almost feel the energy you describe," she replied with a serene smile, her trust in his narration creating a unique connection that transcended the visual.

In the dim glow of the room, Jimin and Selia found solace under a soft blanket, their bodies entwined like a seamless tapestry. Selia nestled her head against Jimin's chest, the rhythmic cadence of his heartbeat becoming a comforting symphony. Jimin's hand traced a delicate path along Selia's spine, a tender touch that elicited both goosebumps and a profound sense of tranquility.

As the warmth of their embrace enveloped them, the door creaked open, revealing Jin bearing a tray laden with carefully prepared food and drinks. His eyes twinkled with a mischievous glint as he announced, "I've whipped up enough sustenance to last you for the next 24 hours. Good luck, you two. Oh, and I'll have to come up with a creative excuse for the guys at work. Enjoy your time together."

Selia couldn't help but detect the sly smirk in Jin's voice, a knowing tone that hinted at the camaraderie shared among them. With a soft chuckle, Jin left the room, leaving Jimin and Selia to savor the cocoon of warmth, love, and shared secrets that defined their private world.
