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: This chapter (and the next) both mention food. I don't think they are anywhere near as mouthwatering as the breakfast empanada chapter but I just wanted to put a quick heads up in case you might find them that way regardless of my personal impression.

Just like the past few nights, last night didn't end the way I was expecting it to. After we had finally made our grocery list Jin walked me to my bedroom door as if we had just gone out on a date, and he was escorting me home. I couldn't keep the smile from my face when he had shyly taken my hand to walk me in that direction.
If I had expected him to want to stay the night with me I would have been disappointed. But he did stay around for a bit. We talked about nothing in particular, but yet even that little discussion felt like everything to me. He offered me some more of his tentative sweet kisses and after an hour or so decided it was time he went back to his own room. I nodded in acquiescence. I didn't want this time together to end since it was so rare that he chose to seek me out himself, but I couldn't exactly keep him here if he was ready to leave nor did I want to push him into staying.
When I walked him to my door he ended up surprising me by pulling me tightly against his tall frame. "I'm so happy we have found you, Daisy." He smiled brightly.

I grinned back at him, but before I could utter a reply his lips were on mine. This was unlike any of the shy kisses that he gave me before, yet still entirely sweet like him. He kissed me in a way that left tingles throughout my whole body. His tongue tentatively touching my own in an exploration that told me he was hesitant yet still ever so willing to progress to this step. All too soon it was quickly over. "That should give me some very sweet dreams tonight." He smiled at me lovingly while cupping my cheek.
"Me too," I had replied somewhat shyly.
This morning, at this minute, I am simply staring at the ceiling of my room and reliving those brief moments we had together last night. It's Hobi knocking on my door asking to use the bathroom that finally gets me rising out of bed. I should have probably been downstairs sorting out breakfast hours ago.
