Marked destiny

Chapter two

Hanni

Destiny?

"You and Minji, are linked. From the bottom of your emotions to the depth of your souls." Jennie said, snapping me to look away from Minji that still stood outside of the window. It would've creeped me out, but it just...doesn't.

I found it endearing. Like what the actual fuck, am I right?

"You two have no absolute control of what either or feels. It's nature; an instinct. A feeling that moves faster than the wind." She said and I was looking at her even more confused. "Think of it as soulmates, just that you two are actually going to stay together forever. It's almost like an unbreakable bond between you two." My eyes widened as she spoke.

Is she saying that I'm tied to Minji in a way?

"As I said, it's something you two can't control. You two have to just let it happen. I know it's going to be hard, especially for you that has no clue about what's going on, but trust that Minji will be by your side through it all. She's your support, she practically anything you want her to be." She said and my eyebrows furrowed.

"That's Minji's role in all this, Minji is anything you want her to be. From your protector to the rock that holds you up." Jennie said as she grabbed my hand and led me back to the bed. "I have no clue on how to properly drop all of this on you without confusing you any more than I already am." She said with a sigh.

"The fever, that should've been caused by the Kang's, wasn't caused by them. But rather by Minji." She said and I had to jerk back a bit. What is she saying? "The moment you and Minji looked at each other for the first time, your true...self...seemed to have awakened at the presence of your mate." The word 'mate' lingered in my ears longer than it should've had.

I've heard that word before, and my mind is instantly denying it with a passion that my heart seemed to be fighting back. Mates only exist in books.

"When you two locked eyes, your mind was opened the same way hers was opened for you. You can hear her thoughts if you play close attention and she'll do the same to you. It's a very personal link that none of us have access to." She said, clearing her throat.

"This side of you now being awakened, it will call out for Minji anytime you two are away from each other. Your body will have a mind of its own and so will Minji's. And they'll call out for each other until you two learn to control that desperation." She said and I was just trying to process all of this the best way I could without letting my mind go too far into it.

Minji seems like a sweet person who wouldn't hurt a fly, and I can see myself trusting her. But all of this just confused me on how I should see her.

"Your feelings will drastically change and form for Minji, it's natural for you to soon see Minji as a lover. I know it's confusing but it's going to work that way. It's already started its pace the moment you woke up. I can feel the beacon your body lets out for Minji." She said and I looked back out the window. What does all of this mean?

What true self is she talking about?

And what does she mean I'll see Minji as a lover naturally? I don't even know her! I just know her name and that she's pretty. Very pretty.

"And this is all worse on Minji, who receives this beacon and every single one of your emotions on a deeper level. So you have to be patient with her, this is new to her too." I was completely lost. I still wasn't understanding at all. I let out a sigh as I looked down at my lap.

"You can ask Minji to stay away from you for a moment, she'll do anything that is asked of her by you. This is where it's horrible on Minji. You control her being, Hanni. You control her. She isn't her own person anymore." She said and I let out a soft gasp at her words.

Does having such control on a being truly exist?

"I don't know how fast this is going to move, so I thought that at least a day away from each other would help but I guess it's not going to at all. Your beacon is too strong that it has called for Minji to stand outside of the door." The said door was slowly opened and Minji peeked her head inside.

Something in me seemed to have lighted at seeing Minji again. "I'm sorry, I know I should stay away but she's calling for me in pure desperation. I can't stay away." She said as she closed the door behind her and made her way to us. Minji's eyes looked at my own.

'Am I allowed to sit next to you?' A gasp left my mouth as Minji's voice resonated in my head. I gave her a nod and she took a seat next to me on the bed. Looking up to lock eyes with Jennie.

"I don't know how to help you two, all I know is that you have to let destiny and life do its thing to get you two together and comfortable with one another. It's something neither or can escape. Minji already put her claim on you, Hanni." I looked over at Minji, that word sounding awfully familiar.

"I couldn't really control it, I'm sorry." Minji said with a sad look in her eyes and I quickly reached out to grab her face, and I shocked myself with such action but it felt so right that I didn't let go. Minji's skin was warm, the type of warm that could burn me.

"I should leave you two to talk and try to get to know each other." Jennie said as she stood up, I gave her a soft smile. Still confused as ever but having Minji next to me relaxed me. I still don't understand why Minji made me feel such way, maybe I was missing the point.

Once Jennie was out of the room, I looked back at Minji whose cheek was still being held by me. I wanted to pull my hand away but I couldn't. It seemed to be stuck there. And I didn't seem to mind. "I know all of this is fast and that you still have to phase to your true self, but I'm going to be here all of the way." Minji said with a soft voice.

"We're mates, and we're meant to be next to each other through anything, even if it's to try and figure all of this out. Just know that I will try to fight my instincts and take this at your pace." She said and I could see how easily it'll be to fall for Minji.

But something told me to not be fooled by that pretty face and soft demeanor. But clearly, Minji wasn't going to hurt me, she would've while I was still asleep or now that we were alone once more.

All I knew was that destiny wasn't forcing us to be together, but it was guiding us to each other. I could see why in some way we're soulmates. God, what am I saying? I don't know anything about her at all!

But I know that's all going to change soon.
