Chapter 8 - Bounds
CatalystThe boy lay across from Jisoo looked so peaceful in her eyes, the threat she sensed from his group of friends was always imminent but with Daehwi he seemed calm and relatively favorable in attitude. His face was so peaceful in his sleep, innocent almost. Then it hit her. He was there when she was cut. When she was bleeding. And that means he knows who she is that she is his mate.
The pain in her whole body fluctuated every movement she took. She swung her legs off of the bed whilst gripping the rim of the metal bed with the hands and biting her lip to contain the groans of pain she so desperately fought to keep in. As her feet touched the cold floor her body felt clammy and warm. She was sick and she knew it but she needed to get away from Daehwi. She had nothing against him but she could not deal with a mate at the minute.
She already had to deal with the weird dreams or recollections she would have when she slept as well as her powers being the fact she can take others powers. He just seemed too much to handle at that moment in time.

The man was kicking himself for not picking up on it sooner. Jisoo picked up the receiver of the landline and was about to dial Changwook's number but she didn't remember it at all. She should have memorized it but had always had her phone on her so there was never any need. She put the receiver back rather awkwardly before bowing and walking away embarrassed.
Without realizing she had walked back into the room to be enveloped in a tight hug hurting quite a bit due to the pressure they were putting on Jisoo's body as a whole.
