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...
His eyes trace over the ribbon keeping the robe closed, veiling me from his sight. I watch as his Adam's apple bobs up and down due to his obvious nervousness. I trace my eyes to the nape of his neck where I see a blush climbing up it, settling on his ears and painting the lobes a similar shade. "I...I don't know where to begin."

That's when I realize while I might prefer he be the one to take control here that he might be too shy to take the reins at first. That doesn't mean I plan on completely seizing control myself, but perhaps I can at least guide him a bit. "Jin, Sweet Jin, there is no right or wrong here on where to start. Even if you just want to lay beside me and kiss me until you are ready for more, then I am quite okay with that." I sigh and admit that even though I would like tonight to end a certain way it really doesn't have to. "And Jin, if you would rather nothing happen tonight. Then it honestly doesn't have to. We can just spend the night in each other's arms, and I would be content with that."
He shakes his head. "Please, don't do that. Please don't back pedal away because you think it might be what I want to hear."
I consider my next words very carefully. "Jin, I'm not going to lie and say that I wouldn't be disappointed if we spent tonight doing only that. I did mean what I said though. I'm not about to push you into doing something you simply aren't sure that you are ready for."
He shakes his head again. "It's not that I don't think I am ready. I think I'm just both the fact that I am nervous in general, and I'm also worried that I might somehow disappoint you."
I don't laugh at him even though there is a part of me tickled by the endearing fact that he is obviously quite worried about my own enjoyment. "I don't think that's possible. Fate had to pair us together for a reason. Which, pardon me for being blunt, makes me quite sure that we will be sexually compatible with each other."
His cheeks are now the same shade of pink as his neck and ears. "Can I ask you something?"

"Jin, you can ask me anything."
"Taehyungie and Jungkookie, they were both virgins before your time together. Were you disappointed with either of them their first times?"
