The next morning you woke up with an incredible feeling of revitalisation; a sudden calmness fell over you as you slowly blinked awake. You felt weightless. No gory nightmares of strange phantoms had disturbed your sleep this time; what a rare gift.
The weird events of the previous night were replayed in your mind like a quiet dream; a sudden thrill rushed through you as you remembered the stolen kiss with Yeonjun when your senses came back. It was like a dream, almost unbelievably.
You had administered the portion perfectly—it was subtle, so gentle, that Yeonjun hadn’t even noticed. It was the most exhilarating feeling, knowing you had passionately kissed your soulmate without him being fully by his senses. The soul bond between you thrived in the darkness.
The bond is unfortunately activated, but the sweet magical portion had done its job—Yeonjun was now soulblinded. He didn’t even recognise you as his soulmate, and that gave you the freedom you hadn’t expected. You could live your life without the Oracle breathing down your neck, at least for a year.
The memory of being so gently wrapped in his arms, feeling the warmth of his lean body pressed against yours, even though you were both only half-aware of your surroundings, filled you with so much bliss. You will treasure it for ever knowing that you'll never have the chance to be so close to your soulmate.
His 18th birthday and his girlfriends' Yejis are coming up soon. You wonder what his reaction will be if he finds out that his so-called girlfriend is not his soulmate. There was something almost too surreal about it—this deep connection, the way your heart had pounded against your ribs as if it wanted to burst free.
You wondered, conflicted, if the Oracle had set this up or if it was the system's doing. No wonder you felt so weightless, freed from the burden of uncertainty, at least for now.
Whoever or whatever worked in your favour was not important; what was vital is that you are now free, maybe from the nightmares, the deaths in your family, or the evil visions of people dying. Since your return from Mexico and the restoration of the relic, it seems your life will only get better.
You came to sleep late last night, leaving your soulmate perplexed on the lounge chair where you both laid making out with each other. You wonder if he will also start remembering his trancelike state. You hope not because the whole mission failed.
When you finally stirred to get up, you saw the sun was already high in the sky, already indicating that breakfast time was almost here.ŵ You peek at the twin bed next to you, but it was made up and empty. Dahyun was already out. You furrowed your brows as you stretched with a little yawn and got up, strolling tiredly to the bathroom. Your muscles were aching pleasantly from all the tension they had held the day before.
You let the hot water run and checked out the assorted scents and bath salts that were adorning the sides of the bath. Dahyun brought a lot of bath products for all of you to indulge in. As you sank with bliss into the warm, aromatic bath, the scent of lavender and eucalyptus filled the air, and you could feel the stress just melting away. It was perfect as you lean back and close your eyes—a rare moment of serenity to gather your thoughts and prepare for the day.
