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...
As he puts the car in park in front of the entrance to the building he turns and smiles at me. "It is. This building is the Lotte World Tower. It's South Korea's tallest building. Floors 76 through 101 house the Signiel. Seokjin-ssi told me that he reserved the Presidential Suite for the two of you."
My eyes immediately start hurting after I widen them in astonishment. He reserved what is probably the most expensive room for one night in what is probably also the most expensive hotel in all of South Korea. I find it equally astonishing that I will be staying in a hotel room that could very well cost somewhere high in the triple digits (United States Dollar) per night. Hell, it's equally astonishing to be in any of these high elevation hotel rooms, just due to the fact that the first level is on the 76th floor.
A staff member is there waiting curbside for my bag with a trolley. I'm thankful that Jin laid out one of my new pieces of luggage to put the few articles of clothing and toiletries I needed for tonight. Had it been up to me I probably would have automatically grabbed my older carry on. That would have looked really shabby on the base of the shiny golden chrome trolley. I'm not really surprised to see Han Bin pull out his own bag from the trunk. I am sure that he, and whatever other member of security that will be escorting Jin over, will give us our privacy. It's unsurprising though that he insisted on also staying somewhere in the lavish hotel tonight.
I'm pleased to find though that the lobby is fairly empty, and those that are lingering are mostly staff. Another staff member takes the trolley from the first and leads us to the elevator. Han Bin stands at my back to protect me from any potential threats despite the vacantness of the room. "I'll be staying on the 97th floor. It's the closest room I could get with two beds to your location." The staff member presses the 99th floor button. "I'll follow you up to your room first though. To make sure you get there safely, and only leave once you are inside."
I nod at him. I try to do my best to not be nervous as the elevator climbs higher and higher. When I feel pressure on my eardrums I don't even hesitate to swallow to relieve it, although I do wish that I had some gum on hand to make the attempt a tad bit easier.
We turn right once we get off the elevator, and the Presidential Suite is located at the end of the hallway. Han Bin doesn't look terribly pleased to discover this, but I'm personally not bothered. I really don't think anyone will bother us up here. I'm sure the hotel, if not the building itself, has a large security detail of their own to restrain anyone that doesn't belong here from even entering.
I tip the staff member and tell him that he can just leave the suitcase inside the door once he opens it. I would honestly like a moment to myself to look around the suite that Jin allocated for the two of us. In fact, I don't let myself focus on the room at all until Han Bin reminds me that he is only a couple floors down and they both bow to tell me goodbye.
Because it's a suite I am not remotely stunned to find the first room I come across is a living area of sorts. The room is basically a large long rectangle. The long side being the width of the room, the short sides making up the depth. There is a table situated on either side of the room. The one to my immediate right has a pretty white and gray marble top with four plush dining chairs seated at it, even though I am sure it would be difficult to fit both the people and the amount of food for each person on the table.
