Lost Island

[Jess Buck]

Kyung-Mi sighed and walked back over to Kenji and Cho. She smiled down at Cho.


"Cho darling go play with the other kids. Come back to the hut for lunch alright?" Cho nodded happily and ran off to go play with the other children. Kyung-Mi smiled at Kenji. "You need to make your move with Fang Hua. Soon." Kenji raised an eyebrow.


"Where did that come from?" He asked. Kyung-Mi rolled her eyes.


"Kenji, Fang Hua is loosing hope that she'll ever find someone. And I know how much you like her. You need to make your move. Grow some balls will ya?" With that, Kyung-Mi walked into the direction of her hut. Kenji gave a small chuckle before heading to his.


Bae, Jessica, and the twins followed behind Lilly. They looked around, amazed by how well built everything was on this island. It was so modern considering there wasn't much to work with.


Chin Ho shook his head.


"No I'm alright." He said. Zander got up and followed Ai Min. He smiled.


"How old are they?" He asked.

Jung Hwa smiled and nodded his head before standing up and gestured to the stairs, " You may pick out your own rooms, however, if you see a room with toys in them and two beds, that is my sons room, my wife and I have a room right next to theirs ". The group headed up the stairs amazed at the formation of the building.


" As you can see, our village was made by the materials we have on the island ", Lilly explained before coming to a stop in front of a stone gate, " This is the village's graveyard. Currently, over a thousand of our people lay in the sacred grounds past this gate. Among them is the chief's daughters, Luna and Solis, Fang Hua's parents, Tai's older brother, Kyung Kaneko, and many many more ".

Bae's heart grew heavy upon seeing the graveyard. It was so sad what had happened to this island.

 

[Soul Eu Min]

" Lilly ", came a timid voice from a little girl from behind her. Worried, she looked down at her younger sister and picked her up, " Something wrong Lillian? ", she asked her, but the poor shy girl only buried her face into Lilly's neck. " Let us continue with the tour ", Lilly instructed as she walked past the graveyard, but not before looking at the door once more. As she guided them through the village, the islanders seemed hesitant to even speak to them, better yet even spare them a glance.

 

[Jess Buck]

Jessica smiled seeing the little girl. She was adorable and resembled her sister greatly. She made eye contact with her and she smiled and gave her a friendly wave.

 

[Soul Eu Min]

Scared, Lillian buried her face deeper into Lilly's neck, whispering in their native tongue that she wanted to go home. However, Lilly still had to show the people around and since Soul so kindly asked her, she would do so. While giving them the tour, she caught sight of Mika spending time with Kyung, Mi Sun, and Min Hyuk. She left Lillian with them, deliberately not introducing them to Mika or the children before continuing on with the tour.

Bae looked over in the direction of a young woman with three children. He smiled. He was happy to see that some people didn't let the terrible past effect their daily lives. Peter tried to run over to the kids, but Jessica held his hand tightly. He looked up as his mother with a pout.


"I wanna go play." He whined. Jessica shushed him.


"Not now hijito." She said. Peter groaned with a pout, but listened to his mother.

 

[Soul Eu Min]

Soul was walking around with Tai. They were making sure that everything was in order, especially after the sudden turn of events which put some of the villagers on edge. When they had caught sight of Lilly with the castaways, they easily walked over to them, ignoring the swooning of the bachelorette village women. " Lilly, come with us to Jung Hwa's home. You all are to come with us as well ", Soul said before making his way over to Min Hyuk and Mi Sun. He lifted them up into his arms with a small smile on his face while they wrapped their arms around him in a happy embrace. Tai had picked up Kyung and had affectionately patted Mika's head with a smile on his small, barelt visible smile on his face. Then, the men left with their children and Mika while Lilly guided the castaways towards Jung Hwa's home.


Fang Hua had passed by Kenji's hut in order to get to Jung Hwa and Ai Min's hut. She was asked by Tai to come and tell her story to the castaways, as to why, she didn't exactly know, but she wouldn't question them. The castaways had a right to know exactly why the islanders are so scared or why the islanders hate them so much.

 

[Jess Buck]

Everyone followed the group of islanders. The group seemed urgent. Everyone wondered what they were so urgent about.

 

[Soul Eu Min]

Once they got into Jung Hwa's hut, friends and families reunited together happily and they were beginning to wonder what was going on and why they were finally allowed to be together.

 

[Jess Buck]

Upon seeing Zander, Jessica ran over to him and gave him a tight hug. Zander chuckled and hugged her back.


"Come on Jess, it couldn't have been that bad." Jessica gave a teary giggle.


"Im just scared is all." She confessed. Peter and Elliot-Rose stood at their feet, looking up curiously.


"Mama, I thought tio Zander liked boys." Jessica looked down at Peter and laughed with Zander. Zander squatted down and smiled at Peter.


"I do like boys amiguito, but your mama and I are very close and she loves me like she loves you two. Does that make sense?" Peter thought for a moment and nodded.


"Yeah I guess....Is that why we call you tio even though your not mama's brother?" Jessica smiled.


"Si hijito." She said with nod. Peter smiled and hugged Zander.


"I love you tio Zander!" Zander chuckled.


"Thanks amiguito. I love you too." Elliot-Rose smiled and went over to her mother to give her a hug.


Chin Ho and Bae stood with each other.


"So Timothy was that girl's late husband. I look exactly like him." Bae whispered to Chin Ho. Chin Ho nodded


"Oh, so that's why she called you Timothy....."

 

[Soul Eu Min]

" Please be seated ", Soul said while he sat down next to Tai and Jung Hwa. He patiently waited for everyone to sit down before he would begin to speak.

 

[Jess Buck]

Jessica sat down with Zander and the twins. Chin Ho and Bae sat behind them, curious as to what the man was going to say.

 

[Soul Eu Min]

" Tomorrow, there will be a bonfire to pay respects to the lives lost. In the morning, we will guide you to the Sun Temple and at night to the Moon Temple. I'm telling you this now because I will... ", he hesitantly continued to speak, " be willing to try and get the islanders to trust you, since you all will be staying her for a while until help can be offered ".
