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: I didn't think about this before I planned on updating this chapter. I made myself hungry revising it and finding images though, so you might want to at least grab a snack before reading this.
Keep in mind, I personally have never had any of the foods mentioned here nor have I been outside of the United States at all so I am basing all of the facts on research I have done from my own computer chair. The place he ends up taking her does exist though btw. :)

When we get in the back of the vehicle I lean toward Jimin and whisper to him. "So, I realize I should know this already. But, can you tell me the name of our security guards? Of course I recognize them, but there are so many that I just can't seem to keep them straight."
He smiles at me for a second, where his dark eyes were twinkling with veiled laughter at my expense. But, I know he isn't truly laughing at me. He only finds my predicament mildly amusing. If he were truly laughing his eyes would be crescents, and he'd probably be falling against the back of his seat or disappearing by folding himself in half. I mentally picture him falling into the floorboard for a moment before I realize that wouldn't happen due to his seatbelt. He points out first the manager who had stayed in the SUV while the security team went inside. "That's Manager Jigaemae." Then he points out each security guard in turn. Youngmi, who is probably the one I recognize the most because he helped with the photo situation at the zoo, is sitting in the passenger seat. The two in the captain seats in front of us, who I really hope either don't understand English or at least didn't hear us, are Minjae and Sang Hee.
"Our road trip is going to take a little bit since we live so far from the main part of Seoul now. And while we are close already I figured we could do something to get to know each other even better."
I nod. "Sounds good. What did you have in mind?"
"Um. So, don't laugh. But, I haven't been on too many dates. I kind of looked up ideas on the internet." He shyly admits.
I quickly reassure him. "I don't see anything wrong with that. I probably could have done the same, only it didn't occur to me." I pause for a second. "This isn't really my first date either. But the other dates didn't even remotely matter. I'm not even sure why I wasted my time on them to be honest. Maybe just some level of social acceptance I guess." I shrug and pause for a second to let him absorb the information I told him. Sure, they all know I'm a virgin, but I never really mentioned that I had dated before at all. He doesn't seem fazed by the information so I continue. "So, what did you settle on regarding the internet?"
"A game off this or that. I ask a question with two possible answers, and we both will answer the question with which we prefer." He pulls out his phone to look up a list of questions he has either found on the internet or wrote himself. "Cat or Dog?"
