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...
I nod. "Can I come back to help again when you are ready for that step?"
"Sure."
I look out the backdoor and see that Hyun Ki is heading back to the pool house. That usually is an indication that he has the chemical check and actual pool cleaning almost done. He confided in me once that the actual cleaning of an outdoor pool takes quite a bit longer since he has to fish out leaves and other debris from the surface of the water. He isn't really thankful that he doesn't have to do that part though. In fact, he actually volunteered himself to clean the entire deck/patio space also just because he wanted to actually feel productive, and feel that he was getting paid the appropriate amount for the effort he put in. I found it endearing that he didn't like the idea of getting paid for a job he felt he wasn't doing.
I quickly decide that since he is done with all the chemical work and only has the patio area to finish that it wouldn't be a bad time to go for a swim. Only, I'm not really sure what swimsuit I want to wear. I sigh and head upstairs. I guess I might as well just grab all my swimwear and cart it down to the pool house at this point. It isn't until I make it all the way upstairs and inside my room that I remember that Hobi had already done that for me. But, I realize my trip upstairs wasn't a complete bust when I trace my eyes over the top of my dresser and see a letter folded and left there for me.
I smile to myself and hold it to my chest. I never admitted it to myself, but in the back of my mind I was worried that Jimin might decide to stop sending me these romantic letters after we had our first date. Especially because of the night we shared together. I scan the comforter with my eyes, and my mind immediately conjures up memories of that night. I literally shake my head as if the action could erase those memories from my mind for now. I relocate the letter to my lap and focus on the pale white paper for a few moments, hoping that action will help tuck the memories away so I can focus. I unfold the paper and immediately gasp at the change in his salutation.

Daisy, my dearest love, my heart,
I knew I would get the greeting right at some point. What do you think of it? I can only hope it made your heart thump just a little bit harder like it did mine when I thought of it and penned it.
It seems strange to say this, but I want you to know that I feel like I have received the greatest of gifts. Not just being the one to share your first time. I mean that is most definitely not something I take lightly, and I do feel special that it was me you shared that moment with. But, no what I meant by receiving the greatest gift was simply you coming into my life. You being my soulmate. You have found yourself with many daydreamers as your soulmates, and I myself daydreamed about who my soulmate would be. Of what she would be like. If I would have that instant connection that was practically promised when the serum was first announced.
I'm glad that I could only daydream about it and wonder. Because even in my greatest fantasies I never thought that I would end up with someone as breathtaking as you.
