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...
Me: This is my phone number while we are in Europe. What do you make of all this?It strikes me as kind of odd that the country is suddenly doing this. Also, I know the last time we talked you told me how Rebecca was doing way worse, and the doctors still weren't sure of the reason. Have you heard anything new?
I wait a few minutes to see if she replies back, but when that doesn't happen I decide to go through my morning ritual of getting ready for the day. It's supposed to be 77°F(25°C) today, and I am kind of happy that the weather will be on touch on the warmer side. It's probably not enough to go swimming at the popular beach in Positano, but at least I can wear one of my warmer outfits for the day. In fact, due to Jin's penchant for appreciating me in more feminine outfits I decide to wear one of my sundresses today. I hold it up for his perusal. "What do you think?"
He visibly swallows and a part of me thrills at watching his Adam's apple go up and down in reaction to the garment I plan on wearing today. He definitely has some male fantasy running through his head right now. Or perhaps he is simply picturing me in the garment before I put it on.
"Yes, wear that one, Princess."
I nod. "I should probably still pack my cardigan and take it with me just in case I get cold." Admittedly though I really don't want to have to carry a backpack with me while wearing the sundress. It has both a halter neckline due to the two spaghetti straps that tie around the neck and the illusion of an off the shoulder dress due to the two small pieces of fabric that sit low and off the shoulders. The dress itself is white and there is a floral pattern that seems exceptionally appropriate for a hot summer day due to the floral pattern's darker shades and hues. The hem of the skirt reaches all the way to my ankles, and a slit runs up one side of it that daringly stops just above mid thigh. In fact that slit might run up higher on my leg than the hem of my shortest pair of shorts reach at.

"Why don't you ask one of us to carry the cardigan in a bag for you that way you don't have to lug one around?" Jin suggests.
It would resolve my issue of not wanting to carry a backpack with the dress at least. I nod. "I'll probably do that for today at least. I don't mind carrying one around normally, but I don't think one would work with this dress." I'll probably even put my wallet in the same soulmate's bag so I don't have to carry a shoulder bag either.
After I am finished getting ready for the morning Jin takes his turn in the bathroom. He initially offers to carry my stuff himself, but I honestly think it would be better to have everything end up with the soulmate I stay with tonight so that way I don't have to track it down later. I'm hoping it won't be difficult to decide my next bedmate this morning since I have now actually slept with all of them on the ship at this point. (Even if more than half of those nights were spent just sleeping.)
I'm surprised out of my musing by a knock at my door. Namjoon takes a moment to take in my entire outfit before he clears his throat and delivers the news he came to tell me. "We are going to be dining on the top deck this morning instead of the private dining room. We will be coming in on Positano within the hour and supposedly the harbor is a very picturesque sight."
