Forever, You Are My Star

Chapter 17: The Isle of Lost Treasure

Mey blinked her eyes opened and the new light of a new day. She found herself in her bed in the hold where they all except Hongjoong and Chan sleep. She looked around to see San relaxing on is bed next to her just staring at the ceiling. But once he noticed she was awake, his smiling eyes went immediately to her.

    "Good morning, my princess." He said getting up and walking to her. She sat up and stretched, giving him a warm and bright smile.

    "Good morning." 

    "You were sleeping so soundly that we didn't want to wake you for dinner last night." Her dreams of a young boy flashed through her mind once again. She needed to find this boy, but that would also mean going back to Barranor. Going back home wouldn't be a bad thing if a certain someone was not there. She didn't even notice that a small frown formed on her face until she felt San's gentle hand caressing her cheek.

    "You sleep alright? You seem a little off." Mey just looked at him then back down at the bed.

    "It's just this dream I keep having." She gave a sigh, and San moved closer to her to wrap an arm around her waist.

    "Do you want to talk about it?" Mey gave another sigh, but one like a burden was being lifted off her chest. 

    "I see this small boy with black hair running through grass and a river with a waterfall like the one back home. We were playing and telling stories of mermaids, sirens, pirates. I want to know his name, but he never says it, nor do I." San just stared at her in disbelief. "I just want to know who he is; if he grew up or if he is alright." San fell silent not knowing what to say except to pull her closer to him. Mey then put her head on his shoulder and let him place his head on hers.

    "How about we ask Hongjoong-hyung if we could possibly go back to Barranor after this stop. You could see your family, and we could find this boy. We will protect you, and so will Felix." Mey smiled and placed her arms around him.

    "Thank you, San." San kissed the top of her head then wrapped his arms around her.

    "Anything for you, my princess." Mey pulled away and looked up into his eyes before placing a hand on his cheek then reached up to place a kiss on his other cheek. The small gesture made San happy as he stared back down to her placing his hand on her cheek as well. Before Mey knew it, San's lips found hers. Mey closed her eyes and brought him closer to her as San's other hand gently caressed her back. Mey felt a cold chill once San pulled away, and she already began to miss his warmth.

    "I was hoping to do that sooner." San chuckled out. Mey smiled back at him, removing some hair from his eyes.

    "So was I." San smiled back down at her before claiming his lips with hers once more.

    "Alright we are here for more supplies and repairing the ship. We do not want to take long here since we are due back in Callista in a few days. Yeosang, I'll have you, Wooyoung, and Mey buy the food supplies that are needed. Seonghwa, as always you will take Jongho, but also take Changbin with you. Yunho, yourself, Mingi, Mingho, and Han will gather the repair supplies for the ship. The rest of you will help me clean up the debris around the ship. All the crew nodded and began to do as they were instructed. Before Mey left the ship, San pulled her aside, giving her a kiss on the cheek.

    "Be careful, alright?" Mey smiled at him.

    "I will. Don't get into too much trouble." San gave her a smirk then let her leave the ship with Yeosang and Wooyoung. As the three were walking along, Mey's mind went back to her dreams of the young boy and her running, laughing, and playing by the waterfall. She then remembered something that was said to her months ago; something that was said when she was in her trance like state.
