Tae POV: 

"What? Yea said that a special someone was coming for you?"

"Yes, she did Kookie." I'm snuggled in his arm the morning after our beautiful Christmas and loving night together. I am in love and my heart soars. Him confessing his love to me was not required. In being free, I could not have suppressed my feelings if I tried. I have never felt so close, connected, or loved. Needy Tae is practicing a new move on his trampoline as my joy engulfs me.

"Tae babe, how did you know I was the special someone she spoke of?" Kookie places soft gentle kisses on my shoulder.

"At first, I didn't, Kookie. Yea said that my special someone would be so very opposite of me, and that I would deny it. All of those things I did. I was trying to convince myself that I did not like you. The more time I spent with you Kookie, the more I saw your true self. Free and loving. Did Yea share a vision with you also Kookie?"

He pauses for a second to gather his thoughts.

"Yes and no." I furrow my eyebrows, as I am not sure what he means.

"Tae, she told me she had a vision of me, however, it was not clear. As it becomes clearer, she said she'd share it with me."

"I thought all of her visions were absolute."

"What do you mean, Tae?" He adjusts and sits up. He then props two pillows against the headboard as I also sit up next to him settling into a comfortable position for a conversation.

"I was under the impression that her visions are clear and specific. Maybe you were not ready to hear what she saw. Like us being together."

"Yes definitely. I was not ready to hear any of that. I don't date, nor was I interested in a boyfriend." I'm curious. I look at him and he quickly diverts his eyes. There are so many things we do not know about each other, but soon will. He appears uneasy as I start my probe into getting to know my lovely man.

"Kookie you never dated anyone before? Are you reluctant to share this?" He looks up and I search his eyes. He appears self-conscious. I saw this look once before on the plane when Yea asked if he would share a story with us about taking a risk.

"No, Tae, I have not dated anyone before. Does that give you pause about me?" His eyes remain fixed on mine.

"Of course not, Kookie. Can you tell me more about that?" He looks at me and smiles softly but looks down to his hands that are folded into his lap. His gaze then returns to me.

"Tae, I've been with a lot of men sexually over the years. In college, there was quite a bit of exploration and..." He struggles and I just want him to know that I am not judging him.

"Kookie, that is very normal." I can relate although I have not been with a lot of men. "I had experiences with several men throughout college also." His lips part slightly as he exhales a slow breath that he had been holding.
