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...
Still a bit dejected after lunch, I go upstairs lament over the possibility that for some reason our date won't happen today. I don't let the worry consume me though. Instead I decide that I need to be prepared regardless so I double check on the outfit I planned. I had honestly put out two options, depending upon the weather. The first option was a lightweight green utility jacket and light casual button up blouse. The second was a heavier pink spring jacket paired with a pastel ombre sweater. Both choices I had decided to wear a pair of tan ankle boots and skinny jeans with. I double check the weather on my phone and decide that the sweater is probably the better option due to the temperature outside.

I go ahead and take another shower. The quick one after my swim was really just to remove the chlorine from my body. I linger underneath the pulsing spray of the multiple faucets. They really spoiled me with this shower. Luckily the shower in the pool house is a normal one, otherwise I am not sure how I would be able to deal with a regular shower in hotels once we are on the road again.
Once I'm out of the shower I decide to wrap myself in a terry cloth robe for the time being. Per normal it takes me a while to get through blowing dry my heavy curls. Once that is finished I debate for a few minutes on how to do my hair. While I would like to leave it down in all it's annoying, but luxurious glory that doesn't seem to be a smart move if we are out in public. I can't imagine there are many redheads floating around Seoul. Pair that with the security members that will be flanking us, and I know we are likely to draw even more attention. Luckily the jacket I chose to wear has a hood, so I can tuck it in the hood if need be. But that also means that I need to choose a hairstyle that will make that an easy endeavor. I quickly decide on a tight braid, while still leaving a couple of wispy hairs loose.
Then I pull out my cosmetic case. I don't often wear much makeup. Usually just a sheer water based foundation, concealer where necessary, translucent power to give the base coat a matte finish, and mascara. But today I decide to pull out all the stops. I quickly apply my foundation and concealer, although I don't really need to touch up too much other than shadows underneath my eyes that never seem to completely fade.
Before I purchased these cosmetics I did some research and it turns out that redheads with blue eyes supposedly tend to look best with neutral rosy shaded eyeshadow. So, I picked an eyeshadow palette that was strictly neutral tones leaning towards rosy hues. I dust some of my favored shade over my lower lid and the crease of my eyelid. Then I take a moment to study myself in the mirror before I decide that since we are going on a casual date I don't need anything more than that. I hover over my lip tints trying to decide which color will be both dressy and still casual. It only takes me a few moments to settle on a tube of lip gloss with a rose gold hue. But, I still stop for a second and frown at the tube before applying because I had realized that my cosmetics unintentionally sort of match my outfit. Then I shrug and continue with making up the rest of my face. Finishing off with flicking the wand of my mascara across my eyelashes.
