Moon's Light

Loose Ends

Luna and Sunyoung arrive at the portal station ready to embark on a journey to Apo Isle. Sunyoung explains how to use the portals to Luna, though she still feels thoroughly confused. She has no idea how she's supposed to close her eyes and just "feel the connection" in order to transport.

Sunyoung can tell Luna is nervous and she assures her that everything will be fine. As long as she relaxes it will be easier for her to feel it. It takes Luna a few tries, a few defeated sighs, and a few more tries before she can finally feel the "connection" which to her feels like something tickling the front of her brain. It's an odd feeling, but she's quickly in a vortex of darkness and then suddenly at the station in Apo Isle. Sunyoung appears right after her with a smile on her face.

"You did it!" Sunyoung shouts. "I told you it wouldnt be hard."

"That was weird," Luna chuckles. "But it was awesome!"

"Now you can go anywhere! But beach first, yes?"

"Of course!" Luna jumps excitedly.

Sunyoung guides Luna to the beach where she claims they have the cleanest water of anywhere. When they get there, Luna is in awe at the beach that looks absolutely stunning. She has never seen a beach at night like this. Though it's early in the day, the moonlight is brightly shining over the waves and the stars are reflected in the deep navy blue blanket of water. It looks like a masterpiece.

"This place is so beautiful!" Luna exclaims when they find a spot to sit.

"I told you," Sunyoung smiles. "It's the best place to go when you need to clear your mind."

"I can see why. I could stay here all day."

Luna certainly wishes she could stay. It seems like a relaxing place to be. The salt scented waves crashing along the shore rids her mind of all thoughts. She feels so light she could be floating with the stars right now. All feels well until she's hit with a wave of thoughts. She still needs to go back home. She needs to know if anyone has reported her missing. She needs to know if her parents are still in their house undiscovered. She needs to get things that she can keep with her in Korealis, and get rid of many other things.

"I need to go home," Luna says with her eyes still trained on the moon.

"What?" Sunyoung asks.

"I need to go back home to earth. To the human world."

"Right now?" She asks surprised.

"Well no not this exact moment," Luna chuckles. "But soon. Very soon. There's a lot of loose ends I need to tie up."

"I see. Many converts go through the same thing. Given everything Tokki has told me about your situation, I understand. Now that you know how to use the portals you can go at anytime."

"Right, but Jungkook..."

"He'll get over it," Sunyoung says as if this isn't new to her. "I know he'll fuss and fight about it, he's very protective of you, but he can't hold you like a prisoner."

"Do you think I should just go without telling him then?"

"That's up to you. Either way, you should go get things taken care of whether he wants you to or not."

For the first time since Luna was brought into this whole new world she feels she can finally talk to someone about Jungkook. Someone who understands how he is, but also understands how she feels. Talking with Sunyoung makes her feel so much better. She gives great advice and Luna can see why Jungkook always goes to her.

The two enjoy their time at the beach taking in the beautiful moonlight and indulging in ice cream. Afterwards Sunyoung takes Luna shopping for new clothes. She insisted that it wasn't necessary but Sunyoung was persistent. They stop by a small snack place for lunch and end their trip at a bakery where Sunyoung picks up a cheesecake that she says is Jungkook's favorite.
