I went back to my room after my talk with mom and cried.  I hated that I couldn’t tell her everything.  I hated lying to people, especially family.  For a second I wished Tae and I could live normally here on land and meet our families and live happily ever after.  But… it wasn’t real.  The fantasy surrounding Tae’s reality is real.  And I was ready for my first real adventure.

-----🐟-----🐚-----🐟-----🐚-----🐟-----

The last couple of days were spent with family.  We went to see a movie, had a picnic, went to the local fair…  It reminded me of when I was little.  When mom and dad had more time to spend with us.  I’m not upset at them for being as busy as they are.  Everyone works.  And I’m an adult now.  I also had a job, which I finally quit.  The weekend was perfect.  A perfect send-off.

They wanted to drop me off at Tae’s ‘house’ to say goodbye, but I obviously couldn’t do that.  So I wrote a long heart-felt letter to my family, packed a few small things in a waterproof bag, and left before anyone woke up.

I made it to the beach, the sun just rising above the water.  I thought about all the pictures I had taken of sunrises and sunsets.  I couldn’t bring my camera with me though.  Walking away from town, and toward the pier, I sat on the end, dangling my feet over the edge.

“You’re here early.”  Tae surprised me at my feet.

I giggled.  “My family wanted to send me off… so I left before they woke up.”

He smiled sadly, and asked, “Are you okay?”

I slipped into the water next to him.  “Yeah.”  Here goes nothing.  The start of my new life.  I hope.  “Tae.  …  I love you.  …  I…”  and he cut me off with a kiss.  Not the usually light kiss either, this was passionate, wanting, desperate.  I moved my lips in sync with his, lost in the water.  We were so into our kiss, that he accidentally nipped my lip.

“Ya!...”  I pulled away, feeling him bite my lip.

“Shit.  Kookie.  I’m sorry…”  he said, covering his mouth with his hand, and catching his breath.  Me, catching my breath as well, he continued, “Kookie.  This is your last chance.  Once we do this, you’ll be one of us, so you won’t be able to come back.”

I swallowed, somewhat nervous all of the sudden.  “I’m sure.  I’m a little scared, but… I trust you.  I want you.  I want to be yours.  I…”

“Deep breath…”  He said, then quickly grabbed my hand and took off deep underwater.
