Third Person POV
As soon as the announcement over the ship's intercom came, instructing everyone to proceed to the lobby to get ready to disembark, Tee rushed to the lobby in search of P'Tae. When he got there, P'Tae was nowhere to be found. What had become of him? Tee could not help feeling anxious.
Tee tried to push his way through the crowd but he was told to go to the end of the line and wait for his turn to get clearance from the reception desk.
Suddenly, from a few feet away, Tee noticed Captain Na approaching. When Captain Na caught sight of Tee, he made a beeline for Tee and took Tee's hand.

"Come with me," Captain Na urged Tee, "we don't have to go through this line. The staff at the exit will clear both of us without any hitches."
Tee was more than grateful to get out of the long line and the anxiety of having to wait for so long before being able to disembark, however he could not help wondering whatever happened to P'Tae.
Once they got through clearance Captain Na took hold of Tee's hand once more.
"I have a car waiting for us in the parking lot," Captain Na informed Tee, "I always leave it there before I go on duty."
Tee hesitated.
"I need to go to the arrival area to meet up with my family," said Tee, "they will be waiting for me there."
"Oh, yeah, I'm sorry, I forgot all about that," said Captain Na with an embarrassed smile.
Captain Na pulled out a small pad from his pocket and wrote his contact number on it and handed it to Tee.
"This is my contact number," said Captain Na, "would you mind telling me yours?"
Captain Na wrote down the number that Tee gave him and put the pad back in his pocket. He gave Tee a brief hug before saying, "I will wait for your call, okay?"
"Sure," Tee replied before quickly making his way toward the arrival area.
It took Tee a while searching through the sea of faces before he finally located his parents who were anxiously watching out for his arrival.
Tee ran towards them and his mother gave him a tearful hug after which his father hugged him as well.
They made their way to the paid parking lot where the father inserted the ticket stub into the parking ticket machine and paid the amount that it indicated on the small screen and then the big metal bar went up and cleared the way for them, and finally Tee was on his way home!
Mean's POV
A/N: The image above does not belong to me. It belongs to the person who uploaded it on the internet.
I tried to ignore the misgivings that I had been feeling ever since Plan and I left the island.
For some reason Plan was acting a little distant and a little absent minded. Some of my conversation with him seemed to just whoosh over his head.
I wondered if our affair on the ship and on the island was just a temporary one for him. Was he looking forward to seeing his ex-boyfriend again once he reached Bangkok? Was he even an ex-boyfriend? Had he formally broken up with him?
All these chaotic thoughts kept circling my mind faster than the Kansas tornado that ripped out Dorothy's house from the ground and sent her flying to the land of Oz.
When it was time for us to disembark, I made one last attempt to get Plan's contact number. When we both reached the reception desk to get our clearance, I asked the clerk for a small piece of paper and borrowed her pen.
"Plan," I said, trying not to sound like I was desperately pleading to him, "you promised to give me your contact number. Can you write it down on this piece of paper, please?"
"Sure," Plan replied to me, his face still looking a little absentminded.
I watched intently as Plan scribbled some numbers on the piece of paper.
"Thank you, Plan" I said to him when he handed me the piece of paper with his number on it.
I badly wanted to ask him how soon he would be calling me but I did not want to sound that desperate so I just gave him a quick hug before heading for the exit.
When I got to the arrival area, I immediately caught sight of my parents, but wait, my eyes felt like they were going to fall off their sockets. Standing close beside my mom was Nanon! What the hell???

As soon as Nanon saw me, he rushed forward and hugged me very tight.
"I really thought that I would never see you again!" he was sobbing all over my chest, "this life changing event has made me realize that I love you so much and I would very much like to reconsider your plans of us getting married. I realized that I would like to spend the rest of my life with you, loving you for the rest of my life!"
He was talking nonstop, not giving me a chance to say anything.
How was I going to confess to him that I had fallen in love with someone else?
In the next few days, Nanon stuck to my side like crazy glue. He even accompanied me to the shop of my wireless carrier where I bought a new phone and told them that I wanted to retain my old number so that Plan could contact me. I hoped real hard that Plan was able to retain his old number as well.
After I had my new phone all sorted, Nanon offered to treat me to dinner. I declined saying that I was still feeling weak somehow and just wanted to stay home and rest.
"How about you rest at my apartment and I will cook dinner for you," Nanon offered.
I did not have the heart to say no, looking at his pleading gaze and feeling his hand squeezing mine so tight. Besides, from my past dates with him in his apartment he would whip up the best tasting dishes that could rival any five star restaurant in town. Being a fantastic cook was one of his strongest assets.
"Make yourself at home," Nanon said as soon as we entered his apartment.
I proceeded to do so, plopping myself on the luxurious leather sofa and turning the tv set on, going from channel to channel to see if I could find anything entertaining.
In the meantime, Nanon got busy putting together his ingredients on the kitchen counter.
"What are you planning to cook for me?" I asked without taking my eyes off the tv screen.
"I'm not gonna tell you," he said with a loving smile, "I want it to be a surprise."
I had the feeling that he was going to cook my favorite dish, which he had cooked for me before, and which, at that time, had earned for him a special place in my heart.
The name of the dish was Beef Pad See Eiw. I could tell from the delicious smell that was wafting to my nose that it was what he was cooking for me.
I felt a little guilty just sitting on the sofa watching tv and not helping out at all in the kitchen.
Just as I was about to stand up from the sofa to join Nanon in the kitchen, my new phone started to ring.
