previously:
You sit yourself in the quiet and peaceful for a bit looking up at the stars.. Occasionally looking at the darkness of the ocean below from your viewpoint.  
You hear the crunching of the ground in the distance
“Sorry I kept you y/n.. I’m back” he says and sits beside you again.
Meanwhile back in camp dinner is ready, seonghwa tells wooyoung to go get both you and yunho so he goes to yunho's tent.. He's not there and he visits yours. You of course are also not there.. hmm
He returns to where everyone is sat around a mini fire and explains to seonghwa 
“Hwa.. yun and y/n.. they're not here” he tells the elder.
Seonghwa with a slight frown begins “what do you mean they're not-” 
Before he can even finish that sentence, Yunho's bursting through the clearing, panting heavily. He's covered in muck and is bleeding from his forehead 
“He got her.. Ha.. he got her” he says between pants trying to catch his breath.
“Who?”
He looks hongjoong right in the eye
He takes a shaky breath 
“The other me”
… 
“Sorry I kept you y/n.. I’m back” he says and sits beside you again.
“Took you long enough” you laugh and turn to look at him
Yunho’s already looking at you. there’s something strange about him, he drapes the blanket over your shoulders and you pull it tighter to yourself, thanking him. 
You sort of glance at his hands and you notice his knuckles are kinda busted and bloody..
You ask him about it to which he brushes it off as ‘nothing to worry about’ that should’ve been your first red flag..
Brushing it off though you take the telescope looking through it looking at the stars
“Hey yun.. What's that star there??” you ask
“Hmm? Let me see” and he takes the telescope from you
“A-aah that one? Hmm, isn't that the north star?” he says only you know that's not the star at all.. Alarm bells go off in your head as you quickly stand
“Shouldn't we be getting back? I-i'm sure Hwa’s finished making the supper” yunho stands as you say this, your nerves clearly showing
“What? But y/n.. Don’t you wanna watch the stars with me?” he asks but when you only continue to walk backwards he sighs and bends down picking up his hat? And placing it on
“You.. you’re not yunho” you speak.
“But I am,” he replies, walking closer to you. You shake your head in disapproval.
“Not my Yunho” your back hits a tree behind you.
He laughs, finally reaching you, placing his hand next to your head on the tree.
“We'll, aren't you a smart one? Hmm?” He smiles sickly. “Don’t worry, this won’t hurt a bit.. The poison might though” he says. And before you know it he’s stabbing your side with a small blade, your hands fly to your side, blood staining everything. “W-why?” your voice is small, you suddenly feel dizzy, your head falling into his chest, before your legs are giving way and you fall to the ground and the last thing you see before your vision going black is him towering over you, a smile on his face.  
… 
“AND YOU LEFT HER ALONE!!??” 
“Joong.. Don't shout at him..” seonghwa tries to calm him down
“Do you think for a moment that if I knew they were here too that I'd leave her by herself!!?? I didn't know hongjoong!!'' Yunho tries to also calm the captain down yet at the same time argues back..
sprinting to the cliff area where they hope you're still there.. But they're not so lucky once they come to the clearing at the cliff. 
Suddenly the peacefulness of the overlook is shattered with yells of your name. Each pirate screaming your name hoping for an answer or something, anything to know you're okay. 
Luck again isn't so lucky… 
There's a gasp..
“Captain!!” 
Everyone turns to face wooyoung and their hearts drop, he stands there holding a dagger with blood staining the blade.. It's fresh. 
“Fuck”
Slowly your eyes blink open.. You hiss due to the sudden light, you try to sit up but the sharp pain in your side stops you from doing so, your hands shooting to hold the area.
There's a chuckle.
“Careful there.. Don't sit up yet stupid, you got a nasty stab wound ‘ere plus i doubt the poisoning is any better” you hear the faint scratching of quill on parchment 
Your eyes drift around the room until they land on the familiar figure sitting on the seat just a little ways from the bed you lay on.
 “H-hongjoong?” you ask
He chuckles again and looks up from what he’s doing.
“Yes, precious? How’re you feelin? D’you need me to go get San, actually i will, he should give you a once over just to be sure” he says standing from his chair. Stretching his limbs with a pop. beginning to make his way to the door.
Slowly your memories of the pas incident come back to you all at once
“Y-yunho.. He stabbed me..” you say in disbelief. 
He stops.
“Yeah, he did precious” he looks at you “i’ll explain it to you once san checks over you.. You've been knocked out for 3 days” he says whilst also telling you he'll be back soon. 
 San checks over you whist hongjoong observes quietly.
“so ?” he asks once san begins to pack his med-utensils away.
“She should be fine.. Just a little groggy and maybe a little out of it whilst the last effects of the poison gets out of her system and then of course pain where the stab wound is as it heals but for now it seems to be healin’ well, stitches are doing their job” he says and gives you a small smile.
Hongjoong seems to sigh from relief.
“Good, thank you san, you may go.” he said and said male exited the room.
He pulls up a chair to sit in front of you.
“So.. d’you think you're ready to know what happened and why?” he asks
You look into his eye
“You’re gonna have to tell me so I'm not afraid of yunho”. You say.
He nods his head slowly. “Very well”
“It may be a lot to take in but you need to know the truth.. No more secrets..
 The yunho who stabbed you looks identical to our yunho right? That's because he is. Each of us, Seonghwa, yeosang. San, mingi, woo and jongho and I included all have someone who's more so an identical copy even you.. Only those imposters aren't from this world precious.. They're from another universe much much different from this one, they call themselves halateez. their leader; the other me. He’s psychotic. He was madly in love with the you in that universe, you were his everything. He’d do anything for you or her sorry.. But the creatures that roamed that earth took her from him. And love? He’ll do just about anything to get you-her back. That's why i.. that we need the cromer device to send them back to that universe. Only when we were saving you from the trap they set.. They stole our map straight to the location of the cromer and we need that back before they try to steal you away from us.” he says and you try your best to take it all in
“wait wait- so let me get this straight. another version of you from a whole other dimension is trying to practically kidnap me and take me back to his dimension because the other me whom he was in love with or dating died??”
“Pretty much love… yes.” he says. Taking your hand in his and gently rubbing the skin.
You sigh out. “ and you didn't think to tell me this when i saw that creepy you in his creepy outfit that day in that town!!?” you see his eye slightly twitch
“I didn't think it was necessary love.. We had the map. Wasn't expecting you to get stabbed and for the map to be stolen.” he says.
“We need it back.. But do you think you're able to come with us to steal it back?? We need to distract their captain somehow” he adds with a smirk on his face.
You nod. “I’ll do it”
He smiles standing.
“Good. we leave at nightfall” 
… 
The forest is quiet.. Maybe a bit too quiet as you make your way towards the camp where the other crew takes refuge. 
Hongjoong raises his hand once you get to a small overlook everyone stops in their tracks.
Getting low to the ground to avoid being spotted he motions you over. You get into the same position. His hand resting on your lower back. 
He points to one of the larger tents. “That one’s the captain's tent. You should find the map in there somewhere. We’ll be keeping watch from up here and if we see them coming back we’ll give a signal or i’ll come get you precious don't worry” he says seeing the worried look on your face. “I'll walk you close enough before returning here, okay. Plan. go!” he says and everyone gets in their positions. And you walk beside hongjoong through the trees down the slope a little ways. 
“This is where I leave you precious,” he says as you nod your head at him.
“I’ll get your map back don’t worry joong” and you begin to walk away.
He quietly gasps air getting stuck in his throat as you walk away
“please .. please be safe.” he says with desperation in his voice.  
You eventually get to the edge of the forest before the camp, you eye your surroundings.. No ones there and it's quiet.. Again.. Too quiet. It's just a straight beeline towards the tent but it seems too easy. You walk slowly but quickly and you reach the opening of the tent. Turning back you look up to the overpass and see them watching intently hongjoong lifting his hand to give you a thumbs up as the go ahead. 
You peep into the tent slightly.. Empty.. Thank god. Taking a deep breath you enter.. The fabric flaps falling shut behind you.
The tent is dimly lit by lanterns, a makeshift table in the centre and crates and chests all around areas of the tent. You let out a deep breath, hopefully it won't be too difficult to find the map, and so you begin your search.
You go through papers, books and parchments anywhere where you think the map could be hidden or being kept. 
You're going through a chest shifting through the contents and you stumble across a tube with a symbol of an A in a red circle and a drawing of an.. hourglass?? That must be it!
 turning the tube you see very faint markings of what seems to be cromer written on the tube. You stuff the map inside your little pouch bag.
“y/n..?” you hear your name being called with a gasp
You turn to face the voice..
“Is.. is that really you?” hongjoong says.. No! It's the other hongjoong.
You whip out the small dagger attached to your belt on the side.
“S-stay back!” you aim the blade towards him.
Immediately he throws his hands up to show you he's no threat..
“y/n.. Come on..” he says “it's me.. Put the knife down, you don’t need to use it.” he says, stepping closer.
“Stop” you say more firmly “don’t come any closer.”
He takes a breath.”okay.. Okay. just relax” he says.
“Me.. relax!? I know who you are..”you say.
Hongjoong looks at you, confusion flashing on his face
“You’re sick! Do you really think just cause i look like your dead lover i'd go with you and fall in love with you? You really are psychotic.” you say venom lacing your words.
“y-y/n what?” he says in shock.
There's another laugh.
“That's right love.. Tell him straight”
His head whips towards the sound of the voice
“You.” he says disgust drowning his words
He ignores him “did y’get it love?” he asks and you nod slightly tapping your pouch.
He smirks “good.. Lets go love” he says motioning you towards him “don’t worry he’d be stupid to try something on you” he says opening the tent and making his way out. You follow him
“Woah- d’you really think im just gonna let you leave with that psycho!?” the other hongjoong says and grabs your wrist. You immediately rip your wrist from his hold and plunge the dagger into his shoulder.. Deep. “don't touch me!” you shout at him
He stumbles to the ground letting out a breath of pain, hand immediately going to his shoulder blood dripping from the wound staining his shirt and hand knife still protruding from his shoulder. 
He looks up at you tears brimming his eyes 
“y-y/n” he sobs out, in shock. 
You do nothing but glance over him in disgust and leave with hongjoong. The tent flaps closing over once more. 
With the map back in your possession, the crew make it back to the ship and begin the preparations for the journey to the island which holds the cromer. 
Everyone scurries across the deck, hongjoong barking orders left and right before he shouts for the sails to be dropped and then the ships setting sail to the horizon. 
It's just days of ocean and water as far as you can see and you’ll be honest you’re getting bored and have taken to wandering the ship. Bothering the crew when doing their duties.. 
You started with seonghwa bothering him when he was manning the wheel in hongjoong’s absence and continuing your bothersome ways following him to the kitchen as he prepared lunch for everyone to which he quickly sends you on your way to hopefully lessen his headache..
You then move to bothering yeosang in his study, you end up distracting him so much from his work that he also sends you on your way, you knew better than to disturb san so you avoided entering his medical study.. You find mingi sharpening blades to which you tried to help him but you just couldn't get the hang of it.. Sighing dejectedly you put the sharpening tool down and thank mingi for at least trying to help you with your boredom.. 
You can’t find woo anywhere and there's no way you’d try to find jongho after the last encounter on the beach.. So you go towards hongjoong’s room or the captain's quarters you should say. 
You knock on the door and here a light “come in”.. pushing open the door you see him just like the first time.. Sat hunched over the table seemingly hard at work.. Only this time instead of getting mad at you he smiles upon seeing you
“Ah.. y/n love come in” he says looking briefly back at the papers on the desk.
“A-are you busy?” you ask him 
He sighs out
“I am love yes..” before he could continue apologising for disrupting his work and say you’ll take your leave, before you can even open the door he grabs your wrist  gently tugging it from the handle and slightly pinning you to the door
“Never too busy for you though.. love” he says in a hushed tone.
It would be lying to say your heart did not race at his words, your breath getting caught in your lungs.. A fact that even he doesn't miss a soft smile graces his lips before he pulls himself from you 
“Crew tells me you've been bored today,” he says, making his way to a smaller table in his room. 
You sort of groan at his words.. Of course they'd tell him you were being a pest today.. 
“Tell me my love, d’ye know how to play?” he asks, gesturing to the wooden chess board that lays upon the table.    
“I do..” you respond, making your way toward the table, having played with your grandfather countless times back home when visiting them.. You sit on the little stool at the table.
 Hongjoong also sits down 
“Wanna challenge me?” he asks, tilting his head. “Winner gets the other to do something for them? loser has to do it, no questions asked?” he adds, hand outstretched for a deal
You hesitate at first but agree.. Surely it won't be too bad if he wins.. 
You take his hand in yours and shake. And begin the game: moving the first pawn on the checked board.
… 
“Checkmate love~” hongjoong says as his queen corners your king.. No place you move will save him, you sigh.
“I win” he says quietly, taking your king piece and laying it on its side. 
You peer up at him through your lashes. 
“Okay.. what do you want me to do”
He seems to be in thought for a moment before looking directly at you.
“I'll keep it for another time” he says cheekily 
You look at him, pout on your face “when?” you ask
“Ah ah.. Believe me.. You’ll know when I use it” he says tutting. 
And you’re left wondering what it'll be he’ll ask you to do for him
… 
5 days. 5 days is how long it takes for you to arrive at the island located on the map. 
In those 5 days you found yourself getting closer to hongjoong, of all people.
 his sweet words and actions worming their way into your heart. From the way he tucks loose strands of your hair behind your ear when it's windy on deck, to his subtle glances watching you. Even purposely letting you win at your chess games!! You’ve been getting very close to one another. And now was one of those times, 
Hongjoong sits sort of spread on a chaise and you rest on his chest. Him with a book in hand as you both quietly read it together in silence. Just enjoying eachothers company.
The silence is disturbed by seonghwa knocking and flinging the door open. You sit up from your spot on hongjoong. Startled by seonghwa’s intrusion. 
Hongjoong bookmarks the spot in the book and closes it over then looking at seonghwa with an annoyed expression on his face
“What is it Hwa?” he asks the elder glaring at him for interrupting your time.
“Apologies captain but, we've finally arrived” he replies to him sort of bowing his head in respect. 
 Hongjoong is quick to stand, you see him shake slightly.
“Then let us go” he says to the elder taking your hand in his as the three of you leave the room.
.. 
Walking on the main deck of the ship everyone is in a rush grabbing what they need to start the journey on the island. You can't help but worry.. 
Hongjoong still holding your hand notices this, rubbing his thumb gently over your hand 
“Don’t worry love.. We’ll get the cromer and send them back to their universe don’t you worry. After all they will come to us soon.” he says and you’ll be honest it does nothing to ease your worries especially as he told you they’ll be coming here.. After what their yunho did to you.. You can't even look at your yunho the same..
Still though you smile up at the red haired man and nod your head.
“Okay! Everyone pack your travel packs. We'll be going into an intricate cave dungeon system so make sure you pack rations, a blanket and pillow at least. The last thing we need is people getting lost down there and dying” hongjoong announces to the crew. 
He hands you your own pack. “‘Ere you can use this one love,” he says.
Everyone swings their packs onto their backs and with hongjoong in the front you all exit the ship. Completely unaware of the other ship on the other side of the island. 
Walking through the dense jungle is sweltering with the heat slowly seeping through the trees, some of the crew complaining about stopping and setting up camp here all to which hongjoong bats back that you won't stop till you reach the cave system.
You would say it takes roughly another 4-ish hours of walking with the crew complaining before hongjoong gives in and lets them set up a camp while the 9 of you continue to the caves.
As you continue to walk through the forest the silence is broke 
A loud ‘ewwww’ breaks the silence, you all turn towards the culprit. 
Wooyoung stands wiping slime…?? Off his shoulder..?? 
Slowly you all look up.. The sight is frightening. A humongous arachnid hangs from its web just above you.
Hongjoong is quick to grab you and push you behind him. Every male pulling out his sword or pistol. 
The arachnid lowers itself to the ground hissing at you, pincers snapping.
Hongjoong pushes you to a bush and tells you to stay low and rushes to join the others currently swinging blades and the occasional blast of a pistol. 
The beast hisses as it gets winded. Its blood seeping out in sludges to the ground. It lunges towards a few of them scratching some of them
Its legs are soon cut off and then a cutlass goes straight through its cephalothorax killing the beast as it sighs out its last breath.
 Each male pants trying to catch his breath. And hongjoong instantly comes over to you, giving you a once over to make sure you're really okay. To which you immediately say that you are.
“I am joong.. Honestly just a bit scared that there's creatures like that on this island” you explain to him
He instantly pulls you into his arms.
“Don't worry love.. No matter the creature, if you're in danger I will always be there to save you. I'll never let you get hurt”
Pulling away from you he turns to the other seven males.
“Okay. let's get a move on, we need to reach the cave before dark” he exclaims.
The walk to the cave is steep and exhausting, you all audibly gasp sighs of relief once the cave entrance comes into view. 
Lighting lanterns you all prepare to enter hongjoong says one last thing.
“Remember, we stick together.. We don't know exactly what's down here.. Possibly more arachnids.. But we find a spot to hunker down that's safe to get some rest before searching for the cromer” he says and with that you all start your journey into the cave system.
.. 
The cave is thankfully cool but the channels travel long.. Some ending randomly, some have deep drops. Thankfully you or hongjoong has a map of the exact route to the cromer location.
You arrive at a wider area with running water off to the side after scouting around. The place is deemed safe enough to rest in, the water checked and also approved to be safe for drinking by san.
There are a few tunnels that end abruptly along the wall so you bunker into those and use them to sleep. 
There's a small fire made to heat up some soup for supper. 
Once it's been heated you all sit and eat in silence only it's not an uncomfortable silence it's sort of comforting. 
Bowls empty and bellies fed some retreat to their spots to try and relax and some going to rest and sleep, there's light murmurs of conversations as some discuss things with each other and jongho’s the first to take watch.. Just in case..
You watch as hongjoong speaks with him.  The younger nodding to whatever the captain had told him. 
Hes when walking towards you, you quickly turn your head as if you hadn't just been watching their conversation.
Hongjoong laughs and extends his hand towards you.
“Come.. I wanna show you something love..” he says and you take his hand. 
He pulls you up to stand and still with your hand in his grasp begins walking away from the little make-shift base 
“Should we really be leaving?” you ask him in a worried tone..
“Don’t worry.. I told jongho.. We’ll be fine besides I told you, I won't let anything bad happen to you” he smiles.
He leads you further into the system of the cave deeper into the tunnels and farther away from the others., that is until you come to a deadend the roof at a slant getting lower to the ground as it goes farther. ? 
He lets go of your hand and what looks to be a deadend isn't. He jumps and pulls himself up the hole in the ceiling and extends his hands down for you 
“Come on love” he says and you take his hands and he uses his strength to pull you up.
Coming through the hole you're greeted by a stunning sight, glittering amethysts and other precious stones litter the walls of this hidden room. Walking farther into the room you admire the pretty gems 
You gasp in awe “do you like it?” he asks his voice quiet from the distance between you
“H-hongjoong this is- this.. Wow.. it's so pretty” you say walking farther.
“Hmm, I'm glad,” he says. You jump startled from how close the voice is.
Turning around you see him standing right behind you now.
You stumble backwards slightly and he gently grabs your wrist to prevent you from falling.  
He walks you back until you hit one of the patches of smooth stone in the room. He's close.. Maybe a little too close.
You place your hands on his shoulders as if to keep him there. Only it does nothing as he leans in resting his forehead on your own.
“Not as pretty as you though” he whispers 
Your breath gets stuck in your throat as it hitches
“Joong..” you breathe out just as quietly.
“y/n..” he does just the same, closing his eyes as if to savour the moment. 
His hands now rest on your hips, he pulls away from your forehead slightly
“Kiss me” he breathes out and before you can respond, his lips are on your own as he traps you. Your hands slip from in front of his shoulders to wrap around his neck as you kiss the redhead back, an action that has him pulling you closer to him. 
“y/n..” “my love..” “my precious..” he says between kisses and when he finally stops you’re both breathless. 
“This.. isn't what i wanted to show.. You” he breathes out. 
Your face scrunches up in confusion.. It's so cute that it has him kissing your nose.
“Come..” he says, presenting you his hand again. And of course you take it.
And again you're off through the opening in that room you enter a wide open space on the other side.. Water flows around and a large tree graces the other side, stepping stones lead to the area of grass the tree rests on, vines hang from the ceiling, fruits hang from the branches. The opening in the roof lets the natural moonlight inside.
Hongjoong smiles seeing your face light up again at the sight.
He gently pulls you across the stones and you make your way to the tree on the other side
You look around the area once at the other side and take in the view.
“Hongjoong this is stunning.. Thank you for bringing me here to see this” you thank him
Arms wrap around your waist and a weight is placed on your shoulder as he rests his chin there.
“I'm glad you like them my love” he hums a kiss placed on the side of your neck. It has a shiver running up your spine. 
He turns you in his hold, arms still around you.. 
“y/n.. Precious. I love you” he says 
Your heart feels to have stopped.
You open your mouth to speak.
He shakes his head.
“You don’t need to say anything right now.. Just.. will you let me prove how much i love you. precious?” he says. 
Looking in his eyes you can see the determination and honesty swirling in them, so placing a kiss on his lips whilst cupping his cheeks 
“Yes.. please joong..” you whisper against his lips
Pulling you close he places more soft kisses on your lips trailing them to your neck.
“May i..?” he whispers tugging slightly at your shirt, you nod
He slowly begins to unbutton the buttons of your shirt in between kisses and then slips your shirt off the material falling to the ground. 
He trails the kisses down to your collarbone. As you try to discard his own shirt. 
Scars litter his chest, your hands ghost over them. 
He pulls you down to rest on the blanket spread on the grass. He kneels before you, hands reaching for and tugging off your boots. Before kicking off his own. His hands slither up your thighs as he places desperate kisses on your neck and down your chest. As he pushes you to lay down
His hands hook beneath the waistband of your trousers, trailing kisses further down your body as he slowly pulls them off..
“So pretty love..” he whispers, admiring you then leaning over to place another soft kiss on your lips. Your hands reach to tug him back
“So are you..” you lift your head to place a similar kiss on his own lips, which has him smiling. 
“Thank you love.. But nothing can compare to how pretty you are” he says, sliding between your thighs. 
“I love you so, so much love” he whispers again tears brim his eyes as they fall over and run down his cheeks.. Clear tears this time.. 
… 
Your eyes gently flicker open.. The moon still shines in the opening above as you in the opening. Your head rests on the softness of hongjoong’s chest, you can hear the soft thumping of his heart beneath the surface. Ever so gently you sit up so not to disturb the man, you look over his face.. He looks so peaceful as he sleeps. You place your hand on his cheek and gently run your thumb over his scar with a soft smile on your face, eyes closing over slightly. Sighing in content, you look back at him, you cannot help the small gasp that escapes as you move away from the sleeping redhead.. 
The faint red line of his scar.. smudged looking to your thumb you see the same red slightly staining the skin.. This hongjoong.. Has no scar.. Surely he’s not been lying about having a scar after all this time.. No.. he couldn’t even the last time he cried he cried..b-blood.. This hongjoong didn't.
Your heart begins to beat erratically in your chest. You feel as though any second you could pass out. You stand to your feet grabbing the extra blanket and holding it close to your naked form and if to solidify and mock your mistake and realisation.. Said man tosses on his side in his sleep and there, clear as day on his shoulder blade.. ‘HALA’ permanently resides there in black ink.
You stumble back at the realisation the room spins, your legs give way and you brace yourself expecting to hit the ground.. 
Only.. you don't. You fall into something soft. 
“oh.. darlin’..” a voice quietly whispers out.

previously:
hongjoong stands, placing his hands in the table, slightly leaning forward. 
“I have some news I want to share” he says 
your breath gets stuck in your throat. He doesn't know, does he??
“i have progress of our voyage for the Cromer.” he adds
everyone now gives him their full attention. 
“thanks to sedna here, we have our heading. it'll be a long, dangerous journey but I know we as a team, a crew. can manage it!! we will get the cromer before they do”
You don't know how long, it’s most likely been days that have passed. All you can see from the horizon is the ocean and then more ocean.. Water as far as the eye can see. 
Crew are starting to feel as though this mission is lost, that you were all lost on the sea, some starting to get bored out of their minds.  
You sigh 
“What’s wrong?” a voice asks 
You close your book over 
“Are we ever going to reach wherever it is we’re trying to get to yeosang?” you ask
He bookmarks his own book and lets out a small laugh.
“I’d tell you to be patient but I feel we’re all getting a bit restless these days, we’ll get there all in good time y/n.. Now let's continue reading shall we?” he replies and then proceeds to open his book to continue reading.
Deciding to do the same you reopen your own book and continue reading. 
You toss and turn in your bed, unable to get some sleep. You still can't help the thoughts that pass through your mind. Tossing off the covers you pull your boots on and make your way through the ship. 
It's mostly quiet as you walk down the corridor, the only thing to be heard being the waves crashing outside the ship and the slight creak of the wooden floorboards, the rest of the crew getting some kip while they can. 
Walking up the stairs you slightly shiver from the nip from the cold air, rubbing your arms you take no notice of your surroundings and make your way to your spot you like to rest on at the front of the bow. 
Leaning on the wood, you look out into the dark, there's not much visibility bar the light coming from the little lantern hanging down but when you look up, you’re in awe. The stars are out and shining bright. They look so… pretty. You wish you had a camera so you could capture this moment
Still gazing at the stars above you don't catch the sound of someone walking up behind you
“D’you like stargazing?” 
You flinch turning to the voice
He laughs slightly “sorry didn't mean to scare ya” he says leaning beside you 
You finally take in your surroundings you notice hongjoong is at the wheel and that's pretty much everyone who’s still awake
You turn back to him, he’s just looking at you intently
He gestures to the stars with his head and asks again.
“D’you like stargazing. y/n?” he asks.
“I do.. Do you like the stars, Yunho?” you ask him. 
He smiles
“I do, being a lookout i get to see ‘em pretty much every night, i know a lot of the constellations too but what ‘re you doing awake at this time.. Can’t sleep??” he asks 
You shake your head
He looks away for a second, then walks away a little bit and hold out his hand for you to take.
“Follow me”
You take ahold of his hand and he and he begins to lead you up the stairs past hongjoong at the helm to where the mizzen mast stands. 
“Ladies first” he gestures to the rope ladder 
And you climb up till you get to the barrel-like section at the top and yunho climbs in after you.
“It’s easier to see the stars from up here” he says and blows the candle out from the little lantern that's hung up in the mast so that he or wooyoung can have a little light when they need it. And then he sits beside you on the ground and tucks his legs up to his chest just like you.
Looking up you can see all the pretty twinkling lights and you’re in awe of them all.
A light tap on your shoulder brings you back to the man sitting beside you, and you listen and watch intently as he points out various stars and constellations and explains some of them to you
You shiver slightly rubbing your arms as a chill wind blows through you in the mast.
“Hmm cold?” yunho asks, tilting his head to the side a little.
You nod “ a little bit.. Yeah”
He shuffles about a bit in the space and opens the basket sitting in the corner, and pulls out a worn out greyish blue blanket 
“ ‘ere “ he wraps the blanket around you and you pull it tighter around yourself
“it does get pretty chilly up here so there's a blanket in every basket for the three masts just in case you need that information” he laughs a bit and he sits back into his spot beside you on the ground and he wraps one of his arms around you pulling you closer to his side
“See that one ‘ere.. thats pleiades its-” he stops seeing you are now fast asleep he breathes out a laugh and then pulls you closer to his chest and then proceeds to fall asleep not long after you
… 
You’re drawn out of your slumber from people talking in hushed tones, one of which you know to be yunho but the other you can't tell, still being in a haze..  The other person leaves.
“Yunho..” you voice out.
He hums 
“What's the prettiest star youve seen?” you ask randomly still in your sleepy haze while wrapping your arms around his waist snuggling into him
“Hmm well… it's not actually a star but the aurora’s the most beautiful thing i've seen in my life time”
You smile and shut your eyes again resting your head on his chest
“I'd like to see that too” you say as you slowly drift off
Yunho rubs your back as you do
“I'll take you to see it.. Don't worry”  
Your eyes flicker open and you stretch bones clicking in the process. Scanning your surroundings you see you’re still up in the mast with yunho still wrapped up in his arms as you shuffle around he stirs in his sleep, hands coming up to rub the sleep from his eyes.
“Hmm good morning” he says, his voice still laced with sleep.
You reply to him and the both of you begin to make your way to the kitchen to get something to eat before everyone else.
You grab a bread roll as does yunho as well as an apple that yunho reluctantly lets you cut up yourself with your history of knives.
“Thank you.. By the way” you say as you begin to nibble on your food “for last night.. I had a good sleep thanks to you, yunho” you smile.
“Don’t worry about it, m’glad you could get some rest” 
You both sit and continue to eat your food in the peaceful silence quite content.. Until it wasn't- more of the crew came piling in to grab their own breakfast before getting to work and it's then that yunho leaves you to go do his own chores around the ship again. And you go and join yeosang again.
“So where is it exactly we’re going yeo??” you ask him
“Well we’re going here to this docking town to restock supplies then we’ll head east or ‘tis where captain says we need to go” he explains pointing places out to you on the map “not to worry though, we’re almost there i'd assume we’d be arriving to the dock at any minute” 
And he was right, you were in fact pulling up to the dock but not 20 minutes later.
Most of the crew started flowing out the ship, stretching. Their feet finally on firm solid ground. Standing on the dock you watch in silence as members of the crew converse with the workers on the dock, seonghwa wagering with the man how many pieces of gold would grant the amount of time the ship could stay docked 
In the distance you see hongjoong talking with sedna about what.. You don't know but it looks to be a serious conversation. The conversation stops and he seems to make his way back over to you all and he speaks. 
“I want everyone to stock up on supplies they may need and rations for the ship as for seonghwa, mingi, jongho, yunho, wooyoung and san you all come with me.. y/n you stay with yeosang” he says then he claps his hands together.
“Okay. everyone get to work” he says and he and his little team head off. 
And so you walk through the streets of the town with yeosang carrying some of the things he buys to help him carry them back. You’re bored out of your mind, it’s been a good few hours since hongjoong and the crew left to god knows where. And you wont lie, you’re curious so… you pester yeosang about it. To which he replies something about a mini mission for the actual mission..just boring stuff 
“Hey y/n.. I'm gonna nip into this last shop real quick. Can you wait out here for a second?” yeosang asks you, you nod watching him through the window of the store after he enters.
Bored you end up zoning out looking in the opposite direction, lost in your own thoughts.
Something catches your attention, as you stare your features contort in confusion
What.. is.. that..!? 
You must've been staring for a long time as you’re brought out from your trance from yeosang calling you
“y/n… you good?” he asks, looking worried.
You hum 
“Hmm.. yeah.. I thought I saw..” you look back, the thing is no longer there “nothing.. nevermind ..” 
And then the both of you head back to the ship. 
The others didn't get back to the ship until a long while after you, some covered in cuts and other bruises.. Just what was the ‘mission’
San ushers those with cuts to his study to clean the wounds up the rest follow hongjoong to his cabin and you’re left in the dark.. Not included. So you just help the other crew carry the stock onto the ship
With the ship now stocked and ready for the vast journey on the water you can finally start the main voyage.
The main 8 currently gathered in the captains cabin, map sprawled out on the table as hongjoong points to the locations on the map and explains in detail the route to be taken for this quest.
 They all end up piling out of the foom after a few hours
You sit in your cabin seemingly lost in deep thought
“A penny for yer thoughts y/n.. What's got yer mind so busy” there's a knock from the doorframe.
Being drawn from your thoughts your head snaps to the doorway.
Hongjoong leans on the frame, sleeves of his white button shirt rolled up and his jacket discarded, being held in his hands.
You frown.. Thinking about it some more
“It’s nothing” you brush it off
He sighs 
“May i?” he asks, gesturing to your room, you nod and he enters placing his jacket on your bed and taking a seat next to you.
“It cant be nothin if its got you frowning like that.. Did somethin happen??” he asks slight worry on his face
“No.. nothing happened per say.. I just.. I don't know.. I saw something but i don't know if my brain was playing tricks on me” 
“Whatd ye see? Maybe I can help if I know what it was?” he pries some more..
You turn to face him
“I thought i.. When you and the others went on that little mission.. When i was shopping with yeosang.. i .. i thought i saw you.. Only it wasn't you?? I don't know.. you had different clothes on and.. All black and a black hat too” you laugh “i’m going crazy right?” you ask him
Only a sinking feeling comes to your chest as you see his face, its pale as if the colours been drained out
“y/n.” he begins “if you see that person again or someone similar. I need you to tell me or one of the others.. Can you do that for me?” he asks
You nod.
He shakes his head “no. i need you to say you’ll do it. Promise me you will”
You tilt your head in confusion
“I will” you say
“Good” he starts to grab his jacket and stands to leave the room
“But hongjoong,who or what was that?” you ask
“You don’t need to know that right now” and with that he leaves the room.  
The ship comes to a stop with a sudden jerk, an island in the close distance.
Hongjoong stands giving commands as the crew rushes about the ship preparing to leave the ship and get to the piece of land on the longboats. 
Chucking equipment onto the small boats crew piling in and getting lowered to the ocean.
Most of you make it to land, some crew having to stay back and watch the ship.
This is it. The main island.. Whatever it is you're searching for. It's here.. Somewhere.
Making camp on the beach tents get set up in all different sizes as well as some crates as makeshift tables, a fire being planned to get set up in the middle of camp.
“Yunho, wooyoung go scout the surroundings and make sure its safe” hongjoong orders. And the two do as told with woo whining a tad.
“And y/n, mingi, jongho come with me.. Lets split up and get some firewood for that fire later”
And the four of you make your way up the sandy dunes to the entrance of the woods. And slowly you all creep in.
You walk a good few minutes in far enough in that there's branches and leaves 
“Just take as much as you can carry, we won't be camped on the beach long, take just enough to keep the fire going overnight and to cook a dinner” hongjoong says and begins to pick up the sticks on the ground and the other three of you follow suit.
..
With arms now filled with branches and dry leaves for kindling you make your way back to camp on the beach and dump the wood on the ground where the fire will be set up. And seonghwa comes along and gets started on the fire and you watch him intently; he starts by taking stones from the beach to which you help and places them in a circle for the boundary of the fire, then taking the twigs and branches you all collected and places them neatly in the stone circle, lastly he takes the dried leaves and skaters them throughout the logs.
He pulls from his pocket a rock of flint and holds it securely on one of the big stones surrounding the unlit fire close to some of the kindling and he whips out a small steel dagger. He pauses- 
And briefly looks up to you.
“You good?” he asks 
You let out a hum
“It's just, you’ve been watching me for a while.. Is it really that interesting?” he asks
You nod
“Hmm! I always used to watch my da- i mean i just think its cool to watch” you tell him
He kind of looks at you with your first choice of words but he decides to not comment on it. And just nods along.
“Y’wanna try then?” he taps the sand beside him
You slightly laugh
“I don't know if i can do it but i'll certainly give it a shot” and you get on your knees beside him.
Seonghwa briefly shows you how to hold the flint and the angle to strike the dagger against it, once you're sure you’ve got the hang of it, you take the items from him and strike the blade against the rock.. Nothing happens the first few times but then all of a sudden a few sparks fly off and land on the leaves slightly letting some smoke travel in the air. Seonghwa gets closer to the leaves and gently blows on them and at last the fire is going!! It works its way through the other twigs and leaves until finally a big blazing fire lights up the camp. 
“Why don't you go see what the others are doing and if they need any help while I get started on dinner” seonghwa tells you. And with a nod of your head you're off through the camp. 
Walking around the camp you find jongho sitting cleaning out his gun, all the pieces laid out..
You sit in front of him and he looks up from cleaning and gives you an awkward smile
“y/n… hi” he says 
“Hi Jongho” 
The awkward smile still there he doesn't pay you any mind and goes back to cleaning
Damn this is awkward..
“So.. jongho..” you begin-
“Look y/n. With all due respect just leave me alone”  he sort of snaps as he puts the cleaned gun back together “im not interested” he gets up and walks away.
Oh… 
Disappointed you sit and look out to the waves.. The sun is starting to set, it hangs low in the sky
Someone takes the place of jongho..
“y/n?” they speak
“Captain.” you reply.
Hongjoong sits across from you.
“I.. um.. I have somethin’ for you.. Will you come with me a minute..?” he asks, his eyes darting everywhere bar into your own.. His cheeks slightly flushed
You let out a small yeah and get up to follow him, he leads you towards his tent and holds open the fabric for you to enter. Which you do.
Hongjoong enters after you and you take a look around the large tent.
There's a make-shift table to the right with a chair and to the left his bed, some clothes folded on top with his hat neatly placed against them and a rucksack laying on the floor at the foot of the bed and some oil lanterns hang in random spots
“y/n.. Come in. don’t just stand there..” he says now standing at the table so you walk closer to the table.
He clears his throat and places a medium-ish flat box on the table in front of you.
“I.. haha um.. It might be weird but.. I got you this.. I know you were lookin at one a while back..” as he rambles on you peel the lid of the box off and your eyes go wide
“A-and you don't have to like it. I know it's not the same one you saw.. And its probably weird that i bought you it-” he continues 
“I love it” you whisper out
“That's okay.. Wait- you do?” he asks 
You nod and take it out of the box. Inside was a pretty black lace up corset with little white and red flowers embroidered on going up the left side with green vines and on the right side in the same red as the flowers which looks to be an ‘A’ in a red circle. 
Hongjoong watches as you look at the corset with pure happiness in your eyes and a smile goes onto his own face
You look to him
“This is probably one of the nicest gifts anyone has given me..thank you. Hongjoong.” 
“Of course, I'm just glad you like it.. Now. let's go get something to eat shall we?” and you both go out to join everyone else around the fire to eat.
The next day you all wake up bright and early ready to make your journey into the dense forest. Getting ready, you pack your little bag first and change into your clothes: trousers and a nice white flowy shirt.. The corset catches your eye in the corner so you decide to put it on. undoing the laces you slip it over your torso and go to pull the laces shut.. Only you realise something. You can't do it by yourself.
You make your way to the entrance of your tent and slightly poke your head out..
You see hongjoong giving out orders and overseeing them as most people are packing up their things and tents, majority of the crew are busy though someone catches you sticking your head out, with a cheeky grin on his face he saunters over towards your tent, you quickly pull your head back in and hold the opening shut
“y/n~~ are you ready?? We’re about to head off” he says..
“i - nearly, i'm just getting ready but i-” you weigh up all the options in your mind. Cursing at yourself you pop your head back out again and look at the blonde who's still smiling, his arms crossed over his chest.
You bite your lip slightly “wooyoung” you sigh out “can you come in here and help me?” you ask
He frowns slightly and tilts his head
“Help? Hmm sure, but with what?” he asks
You pop back in the tent
Wooyoung follows in after you, brushing a hand through his blonde hair and when he finally looks at you he sucks in a breath.
“Y-you need help lacing that up..” he asks a faint yet prominent blush creeps its way onto his cheeks
You nod slowly.. “if .. you wouldn't mind” you add.
He quickly shakes his head.
“I don't mind” he says and he walks over to you. 
You turn around for him and he takes hold of the laces with shaky hands
“Let me know if it's too tight.. Okay..? i don't wanna hurt you” he says and begins to fix the strings before pulling on them. You feel yourself being sucked in oh god you don’t know how those women in towns do this, He pulls them tight a few times before he's asking you if it's okay you tell him it's fine before he’s pulling some more more and then he ties the bow in the back. His hands rest on your waist for a moment.
“There” he whispers out.
“Thank you” 
He smiles though you can't see it.
Turning around you grab your bag to head out. It's wooyoung's turn to look over you, he bites his lower lip looking away slightly before looking back to you.
“You look good.. It suits you, pretty” he says and you both leave the tent. He helps you pack the rest of your things and roll your tent up and attach it to your bag.
Walking over to the rest of the group by the forest entrance, the fact you're wearing his corset doesn't go unnoticed by hongjoong. A blush of his own coating his cheeks as well. He clears his throat and continues his ‘speech’ and not long after you're all off into the forest..
hongjoong leads the line from the front, map and compass in his hands. You don't know how long you walked for.. All you know is this island is bigger than it seems to be and all you've been seeing is trees, trees and even more trees. And you’re losing daylight again.. Wherever it is that map leads.. We’re not getting there as quickly as hongjoong hoped we would. 
You come to a small clearing in the woods.. Still covered with trees but space enough to make a small camp for your team of 15.. 
Hongjoong stops turning to face everyone.
“We’ll camp here for now” he sighs out shaking his head frustrated. He seems to have a silent conversation with seonghwa before he's speaking again “Mingi.. Jongho you both take night watch.” he says to the two men before he begins to walk off seonghwa close behind him.. Yeosang too before he adds
“We don’t know what or who lurks in this forest..” 
… 
The camp set up everyone seems to get settled seemingly staying in their own tents exception of jongho and mingi who pace around a makeshift border of what you call ‘camp’
Sitting watching the flames of the fire at the side of the camp.. It's quiet.. Peaceful. 
“y/n..” yunho stands in front of you with a smile on his face. He outstretches his hand for you to take.
“Come with me.” he says and you look at him suspiciously. 
He sighs out.. “Just come on.. Or we’ll miss it” he grabs your hand and begins to pull you away. Away from camp.. Down the path. You walk hand in hand with yunho for around 10 to 20 minutes. Until you come to another opening. This time a cliff opening. He lets go of your hand and goes and sits on the edge of the cliff sighing dejectedly
“Missed it.. It was right there my star.. I'm sorry” he says to you.
You sit next to him
“What was it?” You ask 
“The lights..” he sighs
You smile
“Thank you for coming to get me because you saw them.. Don’t worry though Yun.. the stars are still very pretty to watch” you tell him. He nods still upset that he failed to get you on time.. You sit in silence for a few moments and then he turns to you.
“I'll be back quickly star.. I'll go get a blanket and my telescope and we can watch them better” he says to you and you agree and he gets up and walks back in the direction you both came from.
You sit yourself in the quiet and peaceful for a bit looking up at the stars.. Occasionally looking at the darkness of the ocean below from your viewpoint.  
You hear the crunching of the ground in the distance
“Sorry I kept you y/n.. I’m back” he says and sits beside you again.

series masterlist | main masterlist
previous chapter | next chapter
previously:
his hands on your waist steadied you from the recoil 
the glass had shattered!!.
“better?” he whispered
you nod
“thank you” you turn to look at him his hands still on your waist
he was so close..
you saw how his eyes looked into yours, how he took in a shaky breath
“y/n I..” he whispered
you both were so close that your noses where almost touching, that you could almost ki-
a loud terrifying shriek comes from the forest.
wooyoung's quick to grab the pistol from you and aim it in the direction the noise came from
“w-what was that!?” you ask trying to steady your breathing
“the beast” hongjoong said eyes bore into you both. 
“beast?” you ask
hongjoong just nods as he too looks into the forest
“mmh didn't yeosang tell you?” he says
yeosang didn't tell you anything… though he did say it was dangerous, maybe that's what he meant.
“all he said was that it was dangerous here” you explained 
hongjoong laughed
“aye. it's a dangerous beastie alright. however i don't think it'll be bothering us for now” he says eyes heavily studying the forest. he then turns to wooyoung.
“put the gun away. and both of you head back. eat and rest up.” he says to the pair of you
wooyoung lowers the gun. “and what about you captain?” he asks
“i've got something i need to take care of” he says and makes his way further down the beach.
you both watch him till he's nearly out if your sight.
wooyoung turns to you and hands you back the smaller pistol
“ere you should keep this one” he smiles to you and then gestures back to camp “lets go get somethin to eat before it's all gone”
...
you're all trudging through the forest, have been for a good few hours at most. surrounded by nature and the sounds of nature. from the way the trees creak from the wind to the birds chirping, nesting in them.
its peaceful without the thought of a ‘beast’... roaming these parts at the back of your mind.
you're dragged from your thoughts when you  come to stop at a swamp like water, hongjoong who was at the front of the line wastes no time in dragging everyone through the water 
the water came to about mid thigh and filled all your boots making them feel uncomfortable.
the water was made your feet feel numb and when you finally exited, the squelching of your wet boots was so uncomfortable. still you continued on.
you continued walking until you came to this weird run down looking house in the swamp with a few other shacks dotted about
you all walked up the steps to the door when hongjoong turned around and pointed to you
“ah. you stay out here” he says.
your eyebrows furrow
“what?” 
“just stay out here” and then the eight of them pile into the house leaving you on the steps.
so you sit legs dangling above the water watching the little fish swim by in the water below. you don't know how long you've been sitting out here 
you were bored out of your mind then a bright light flew in front of your face. a fairy!!
having been so bored out of your mind you decided to follow it. despite being told to stay.
you walked after the creature a little ways into the forest away from the house till it landed onto a low tree branch
placing one of your hands on the same branch you looked at the tiny creature.
it was small, adorned in green clothing with white hair. it smiled up at you placing its tiny hands on your finger-
 “ouch” you pulled your hand away
“you bit me” you exclaim looking at the blood slowly seeping out from the little bite wound
“it's a pixie. little mischievous devils” a male voice laughs out
turning to the voice still holding your finger
San..
“here let me see your finger” he says walking closer to you taking your finger to examine it.
“it stings a bit” you tell the dark haired man with a pout.
“hmm i bet it does. the little rascals have pretty sharp teeth. you thought it was a fairy right?” he asks while cleaning the spot.
you nod.
“it's pretty easy to confuse the two. fairies are much sweeter though” he says with a smile as he wraps your finger with a small bandage.  “there all done” he adds, dropping your finger.
you thank him.
“come on. the others are finished now we're gonna head back” he said placing his hand on your back.
and with that you follow him back to the house, everyone is standing back outside only there's a new face. a woman?.
“i'll join you tomorrow” she says to the captain then her eyes fall on you where she squints her eyes tilting her head to the side, then she smirks and walks back inside.
strange...
...
the woman from the shack in the forest has joined you all on the ship and has been with the crew for the past few days, you wonder why she's on board when the captains ideals with you a while ago were so negative. 
you've asked the likes of San and Yeosang why she's here yet they all just brush it off saying it's 'something you don't need to worry about just now' 
so you sit legs dangling over the edge of the ship as you watch the calm waves spread out over the vast ocean. all the work and ship maintenance done before supper 
“you're not from ere are you?” 
your head snaps in the direction. its her...
“is it that obvious?” you ask her
she lets out a laugh
“no. no i mean you're not form here. this world” she explains
your eyes widen. how does she know that- if anyone else was to find out who knows what would happen!?
she again lets out a small laugh.
“the sea knows many things y/n. now if you'll excuse me, I've to help the captain with something” and she walks away.
you're put on edge from her she wouldn't say anything to hongjoong right? maybe-
“y/n.. you okay?” 
you turn to the voice, its seonghwa. you nod to his question.
“you look stressed, i was calling you to help with supper but maybe you should take the night away from helping, get some rest?” he says to which you immediately disagree. you have to help. it'll take your mind off things.
“we'll if you're sure..” seonghwa says and begins to move you both toward the kitchen with his hand on the small of your back. 
... 
at dinner you can't help but glance at the captain every once in a while hoping and praying he hasn't been told anything by that woman..
its a quiet dinner until the sound of a chair squeaking back catches everyone's attention.
hongjoong stands, placing his hands in the table, slightly leaning forward. 
“I have some news I want to share” he says 
your breath gets stuck in your throat. He doesn't know, does he??
“i have progress of our voyage for the Cromer.” he adds
everyone now gives him their full attention. 
“thanks to sedna here, we have our heading. it'll be a long, dangerous journey but I know we as a team, a crew. can manage it!! we will get the cromer before they do”
a/n: hihi so again I apologise that this part was so so short, probably not the best chapter in the series so far.. I almost didn't want to post it when i saw how quick it is to scroll through it... you could probably even just class this chapter as a filler tbh..
so I promise the next chapter is much more fun anddddd said next chapter will be posted tonight sometime after 8pm BST (hopefully after I finish work) so if you'd like added to the taglist lmk! and I hope you enjoy!

treasure
hiiii!! I would love to say that this is an update for treasure, sorry if yall got excited..
but I'm just I'm gonna be honest I've got such bad writers block atm and I just don't know what to write for it to give you guys a good lengthy chapter. I think I'm gonna put it on hold at the moment rather than burn myself out trying to write something when the headspace isn't there, but if you guys don't mind i'd love to start writing little oneshots and short au's in the meantime so you can still get some content?? so requests are open if yall would also like to leave some and i'll try my absolute best to write for them as well as my own little ideas!!
again, I'm so sorry. I'll try my hardest to update treasure with a new chapter as soon as I can. please be patient with me.

"y/n. it's okay, really! its only for a few days. we do have a spare cabin, but it's filled with some of yeosang's extra books and maps so he'll clear it out and then you can sleep there for the time being. so really. it's okay just sleep here." wooyoung says, pushing you in the room and then he says goodnight closing the door behind him. 
pushing down on the door handle you realise he's locked the door as well. in other words, he's not really giving you a choice. is he? 
slipping under the covers you let your tiredness and thoughts consume you.
maybe. just maybe it won't be as bad here...
Your eyes flutter open to the room being dark, you reach to the bedside table for your phone but... there's nothing there? sitting up you rub the sleep from your eyes and look around the dimly lit room and the unfamiliar interior. 
ah that's right. you're not in your world anymore... you're in a world of pirates, probable danger too. on a ship where the captain despises you. 
you sigh and slide your legs from under the covers. your feet touching the cool of the wooden floorboards sends a shock through your body. you're most definitely awake now.
it's then you realise you slept in your new clothes, or you should say the clothes wooyoung lent you. it's not like they're dirty but still you can't just rummage through the man's closet for clean clothes everyday just like you do in your world. no. pirates probably don't even change their clothes that often anyway. so, you'll just stay in the same clothes. out of the corner of your eye you spy something. there on the chair in the corner of his room. you walk towards the item. It's a pair of… boots? beside the boots is a piece of crumpled paper. you unfold it and read it: 
" It just so happens that these boots are too small for anyone here on the ship, no one's worn them..
if your feet are better or feeling less sore. you should wear them. I know the floorboards get quite cold on the ship and they're pretty dirty.
you should wear these even if your cuts hurt. it'll prevent them gettin infected or something. and if you're reading this then it means 
you're awake. you should join us on deck and like the captain said: ^if you wanna stay you gotta pull your weight^
i also hope you at least slept well~ " 
so, the boots are for you. sitting back on the bed you unlace the brown boots and slip them over your feet. it stings a little. but you know the pain will fade after a while, you lace the boots up loosely and after making the bed you make your way up to the main deck. there you find Seonghwa.
“Ah y/n! there you are, I hope you slept well?”  He asked to which you nodded your head letting out a small yes.
“Now let me see... given the state of your feet and wounds and the fact they haven't healed and to top it off most of the crew are against women being on board... I suppose your job for today can be to help Yeosang clear out that spare cabin with all his extra things in there and then you can help make dinner later, nothing too much for now. Does that sound okay?” He again asked  
“Yes, that's fine. where...?” You began 
seonghwa smiled, “you can find yeosang through those doors and then it's the last door on the left side,” he said pointing to the door behind you.
you thank him and make your way through them and walk to the end door stopping before it, you knock and hear a voice call "come in" 
opening the door, you find yeosang but he's not alone. The captain was here too... 
the captain turned, his eyes seemingly scanning your figure and lingering slightly at the boots on your feet then back to your face before turning back to yeosang.
“We can finish this later yeosang” he says and makes his way around you and out the door not before letting out a 'tsk' as he passes by you.
what was that about now... 
“sorry I didn't mean to interrupt your conversation” you told yeosang to which he shakes his head.
“No, no. it's fine, we were basically finished anyway. now, let's get moving that stuff.” he said, clapping his hands together. 
...
so, you followed yeosang back through the doors and onto the main deck and back down the steps to the cabin rooms and he stopped at one just a little passed what you know to be wooyoung's room.
“This is the room here that'll be yours for now so just remember that it's the one at the end of this hall to the right.” he said, opening the door. 
you nod to him and finally looking into the room your eyes widen. 
this room was an absolute mess. it was a state! like an earthquake happened. you look to yeosang and he rubs the back of his neck.
“Seems we've got our work cut out for us?” he laughs nervously as he enters the room with you following close behind.
There were scrolls and maps everywhere. one even pinned to the desk with a dagger stuck in it and weighted down with other trinkets, you couldn't even see the bed from everything that was piled up on top of it. and there were numerous stacks of books, and dust. a lot. a lot of dust. 
you both decided to start by taking all the scrolls to yeosang's study first being they were only paper and the lightest. you went to the map on the desk to roll it up only to let out a small laugh at all the drawing of beasts on the map from your "real-world perceptions'' that they were only put to scare sailors to which yeosang explained to you that the drawing on the maps is of very, very much real sea beasts. which you weren't going to lie did scare you a bit.  
a few hours most definitely went by of carrying scrolls from one room to another till there was only a small number of books left. letting inpatients get the better of you, you picked up a larger stack of books wanting to finish the strenuous task quicker. and by larger stack meaning you couldn't see over it. yeosang told you to take a couple off as he came back into the room for another stack stating it was dangerous, but his warning went through one ear and out the other. 
you ever so slowly made your way up the steps to the main deck and trying to look around you saw that seonghwa was no longer at the wheel, but the captain was. and he definitely had his eyes on you as soon as he saw you. with his burning gaze on you. you felt nervous and to top it off being unable to see over the books you failed to notice that the deck was wet, so down you went. books spilling everywhere. and oh boy did it hurt. Soon Wooyoung was by your side asking if you were okay and if you were hurt badly from the fall to which you said you were fine and that it was just a shock. and you start to pick up the books with wooyoung helping you. though thinking about the fall. you could've sworn you saw the captain's body slightly jerk as you fell...
Was he going to help you? pffft no. of course not y/n don't be silly he hates you. and just to prove that thought, there he was leaning over the railing from where the wheel was, shaking his head at you with a smug smirk on his face.
“Well. just proves my point woman don't belong on ships” he says 
you ignore his words and continue to pick up the books with wooyoung. then you remember something.
“Oh... wooyoung? thank you by the way for helping me pick these up. and for the boots” you say to him. 
he hums his brows slightly furrowing
“What?”
“The boots? thank you for letting me use them” you say smiling. 
“The boots... oh yeah! the boots, it's really no problem. I couldn't just let you walk around here bare footed and get sick” he said whilst you were still picking up the books. what you failed to notice while doing so was his confused eyes drifting elsewhere before he answered you.
 with all the books picked up, you with a small pile and wooyoung with a small pile and yeosang soon joining you and giving you a lecture about how he told you that would happen. you had now officially cleared out and cleaned the spare room. 
 now though it was time to help seonghwa and jongho make some dinner. walking into the kitchen they were already both there. you were making a type of meat stew, and you were given the job of cutting the vegetables to go in the stew .
no one spoke a word as you all did your jobs to make the stew, today was clearly not your day as you cut your finger whilst cutting the veggies by getting startled by a cat. The cut wasn't deep so you had no need to go to san.  
...
dishing out the now cooked stew into bowls, the three of you took them to the table where everyone was sitting and placed a bowl In Front of them and then took your own seat, which again was beside wooyoung. nothing seems to slip by him so he noticed the cut on your finger straight away asking what happened and that then caught Sans attention and he asked if he needed to take a look at it to which you declined just trying to eat your stew but wooyoung's pestering about how it happened seemed to even bug jongho so he blurted out how you got the cut. though the story of how you cut yourself being startled by a cat was found to be funny by someone. and that someone was the captain. Who did end up joining you all for dinner this time?
he laughed out loud sitting at the top of the table
“Ah, oh wow, that's amazing, getting scared of the cat. nice one” he said his laughter coming to a stop and a smile being left on his face. and you stared at it, he was showing emotions other than anger and glares in your presence, once he noticed your stare however the smile was gone as soon as it appeared. he cleared his throat, picking up his now empty bowl
“ahem excuse me- I'll take my bowl to the kitchen. goodnight” and then he was gone. 
and it was then quiet as everyone finished the last few drops of their stew.  
you sat still staring at where the captain had just previously sat, your cheeks slightly heating up.
his laugh... his smile... It was so... pretty. 
maybe.. just maybe. This was a start, at least for now. 
After everyone had finished eating their stew and this time you finally managed to convince seonghwa to let you do the dishes this round after not being able to last time., whilst scrubbing the remanence of the stew from the bowls, you couldn't help but remember back to the captain and how he laughed and his smile, though he was laughing at you and at your pain from being cut, he really did have a pretty smile. 
with all the bowls now scrubbed. you dried them and stacked them where you got them when you dished out the stew. then made your way from the kitchen to your new room where you drifted to sleep again.
...
you'd now been on the illusion for about a week now, you could definitely say you'd grown closer to some of the crewmembers, though some not so much. The captain still hates your guts. it seems like every little flaw and mistake you do he makes little snarky comments about and always pulls the "that's why women don't belong on ships" idea, wooyoung on the other hand can tell his comments get to you and tries to make you feel better by saying it just takes him time to open up to people, you don't know what to believe though. 
yeosang's been trying. key word here. trying to teach you how to read maps but it seems to not be going well so you just spend time with him in his study sometimes after you've done your work and read some of his books not that if you were to be able to read the maps you'd be much help. you're not even a crew member plus the captain hates you, so there's no point for you to, he'd never sit in your company and talk to you as you map out the journey he plans.  
...
here you were though sitting in your room reading a book you've stolen from Yeosang, he said that it wouldn't be too long before you'd reach land, and you'd get there at some point today. the thought made you sad that meant you were off the ship and they'd leave. it made you think that you really have no clue where to start about getting back home to your family. your younger siblings and older brother... 
you're pulled from your thoughts by the ship suddenly jerking along with a loud noise. you're slightly flung into the table you were sitting at. finding your balance again you walk to the door of your room and open it to see wooyoung coming out of his room in a rush. you call his name, and he turns to you, his eyes slightly widening.  
“y/n!! get back in your room and stay in there!!” he tells you as he ushers you back into the room. “Stay in here, and don't come out. it's not safe. lock the door and don't open it for anyone” he tells you as he makes his way back out the room.
“Wait! what do you mean not safe” you call to him again
 
he sighs out in frustration “please just do as I say” and with that he shut the door behind him and was running to who knows where. 
the ship jerked again and this time you fell to the floor, you decided to be nosy and peak out your window. sticking your head out you see there's another ship and it's firing its cannons at this ship whilst some of the opposing crew swing across onto this ship. wooyoung was right you are most definitely not safe. you didn't even have anything to protect yourself should someone come through the door. so, you snuck out and made your way down the steps of the ship, down to where wooyoung took you to mingi to get your chains off on your first day. and you took a cutlass. you did fencing back home, how different could it be should you need to use the sword. 
thinking about it, you decided to be nosey and have a look on the top deck at what was going on. big mistake as soon as you got to the stairs leading to the main deck. a person was walking down them, and they were clearly not from this crew he noticed you right away. he pulled his gun on you
oh...
you hadn't thought about guns but alas they were pirates after all, you closed your eyes and awaited the pain.
BANG!
you felt something hot spurt on your face, it wasn't you who got shot no, it was the guy who dropped down dead. you looked to the top of the stairs to who dealt the shot and there was the captain standing at the top gun pointed in your direction, smoke slightly coming from the muzzle.
“Get back to your room” he said in his usual cold voice and then he disappeared from the top of the stairs to what you assume, continue fighting. you however go against his order and go onto the main deck. 
Everyone is fighting, some lay on the floor of the deck still, no longer moving. 
looking, you see the captain at the starboard side fighting a guy with his cutlass and then he pierces the guy with his sword, removing his sword he shakes it to get the blood off and his gaze again falls on you. He looks pissed. He stalks toward you and grabs your arm tight.
“The hell did I tell you!? get back down there and stay in your room, you're gonna get yourself killed!” he yells at you, his grip tightening as he goes to drag you back down the stairs. 
no. you've had enough of his attitude, captain or not. you yank your arm from his grip moving back quite a bit and yell straight back.
“No! I wanna help! and that's what I'll do!”  you tell him gripping your cutlass tighter. 
he looks at you with his eye, the other covered with his eyepatch like you're a crazy person and maybe you were. who knows
“Not happening.” he says again pointing his cutlass at you “you are going back down those stairs, and you will stay down there. hell, you don't know how to fight.” he says   
you internally laugh. shows what he knows. you see his eyes slightly widen and you turn around only to block another sword with your cutlass. you hear the captain let out a curse as he again is occupied with his own opponent. 
you have a back and forth of blocking the swings from the pirate in front of you as he too mocks you for being a girl. 
“Wooyoung, Jongho!” you hear the captain shout 
“we're a bit busy at the moment” they both shout back.
“I know that, when you get a minute just get her the heck away from here. she's gonna get herself killed” he yells back.
from what you can hear, you heard wooyoung slightly laugh. 
“I think she can take care of herself captain!” he yells back
the captain looks at you after getting rid of his own opponent. and slightly laughs 'well I'll be damned; the girl can fight' he says to himself.
finally coming to your senses, you realise the pirate you were fighting was no longer In Front of you. oh. oh. you just killed someone.
you look about again and see someone about to strike their sword at the captain who was again occupied with someone, he's popular with these other pirates. and without even thinking you thrust your sword in the man's side and pull the bloody cutlass out as the man falls to the ground. the captain turns to see what happened and sees you and then the man lying on the floor.
you just killed two people...  your thoughts were going wild, and your hands started to shake. you drop your cutlass and back up to the wall your breathing getting shorter, vision getting blurry except for the man Infront of you. 
he kneels In Front of you placing his bloody hands on your face.
“Hey, hey. It's okay just breathe. breathe with me, okay?”' a man says trying to get your breathing regulated all whilst keeping his eye on the enemies. He ends up pulling his gun from its holster. BANG!
your hands fly to your ears and your eyes squeeze tight shut. you're pulled into a chest “you're okay. it's okay” softly whispered in your ear. 
“Seonghwa!! come take her away to her room” the captain yelled. and you're soon being softly pulled to your feet and your head placed into a chest again. 
“it's okay y/n, I got you. let's get you to your room, hmm?” it was seonghwa and you nodded your head against his chest. 
...
you now back in the safety of your room, seonghwa long gone to help fight again. you sit on the bed, staring at the wall and let your thoughts again consume you. 
you killed two people, took their lives. innocent or not. What if they had a family? Why did these people have a grudge towards the illusion crew? What if I stupidly died trying to fight these people? what if the captain didn't shoot that person-
you don't know how long you thought these thoughts floated about in your mind, but you are pulled from those thoughts from a soft knock on the door.
wooyoung...
 he comes in your room and slowly knees in front of you, he looks sad. his eyebrows slightly furrowed as he looks at you and lips slightly pouted. he places his hands in your hands and looks up at your face.
“you okay?..” he asks softly
no. I'm not okay...
you slightly nod your head at his question, avoiding looking in his eyes.
he asks again. not believing your answer.
“Are you okay?” 
this time you don't answer but your lips slightly quiver, and your eyes fill with tears that soon pour out. you shake your head no to his question this time.
“n-no, i'm not o-okay” you try to say. he's quick to react and suddenly he's sitting beside you on your bed. he brings your head to his chest and gently strokes the back of your head or rubs your back as he lets you cry out your tears, softly shushing you and whispering that "its okay" and to just let it out.
“shh shh, it's okay. you're okay. I got you y/n. just let all your tears out” he says gently rocking you both side to side
you unconsciously tighten your arms that are wrapped around him, trying to seek as much comfort from him as you can. 
you don't know how long you were both like this for but eventually your tears stopped and you we're just sniffling from crying.
Wooyoung slightly pulls away from you and wipes the remainder of your tears from your bloody face with his thumbs. He sadly yet softly smiles at you.
“feel a bit better now?” he asks softly.  you nod dabbing the wetness from your nose.
“you wanna talk about it?” he asked quietly
you again shake your head looking to the floor.
“n-no..” you let out quietly. 
“c-can I clean your wound?” he asks.
it's your turn for your eyebrows to furrow. you look at him confused.
He gently grabs your arm and shows you the gash on your upper arm. you hadn't even realised you got injured....
 “I noticed your arm bleeding when I saw Seonghwa bringing you back here... I asked San how to do it. so, can I?” he asked, still in a soft voice. 
you look at him. 
“'I don't know... wouldn't it be better for San to look at it..” you told him, still a bit quiet. you knew the cut didn't need stitches due to having got them before back home, but you still thought it would be better for a doctor to look. 
wooyoung pouts at your answer he looks like a child to you, it reminds you of your younger siblings sometimes even your older brother... 
“Come on! I even asked him how, I'm not gonna mess it up!” he whines to you.
you weren't gonna lie he was kinda cute, so you ended up giving in much to his satisfaction, he walked over to the table where he'd placed the items san gave him on his way in and sat back beside you on the bed. It was then he started to nervously laugh. 
“I uh ahaha you're gonna need to take this side of your... shirt off..” he explained.
oh
“I won't look, don't worry! i'll turn around” he told you getting up from his sitting position, his back now facing you as he stands in the corner of the room. 
you sit still for a few moments and then with shaky hands start to unbutton the shirt you had on. your arm slightly stung as you removed it from the sleeve of the shirt off the other arm. you decided to put the shirt on backwards so you were able to cover your chest with your shirt and still have your left arm free so wooyoung could clean and bind it. 
“o-okay you can come over now..” you told him and awkwardly he did. sitting back beside you you saw him slightly bite his lower lip as he took the damp cloth to clean the blood away from the cut.
his eyes looked so focused; you couldn't help but notice some of his features. the way his blonde hair falls slightly over his eyes and despite being a pirate how soft it looks, to the shape of his face, the way a light blush flushes his cheeks and even noticing the little mole that adorns his face under his left eye. you sharply breathe in as his eyes meet yours. his tongue slightly popping out to wet his dry lips.
“i'm gonna put this on now, it's probably gonna sting... a lot” he said as he pours the antiseptic on the cloth then dabbing it on your gash 
he was right, it hurt like a bitch. you hiss from the pain, and you see from his eyes that he feels sorry for giving you pain.
he continues to dab the antiseptic soaked cloth into your wound. you see his hands slightly shaking. He then picks up the roll of white bandages and proceeds to wrap it around your now clean cut and then ties a knot in it, a bit too tight making you hiss slightly.
“sorry.. I didn't mean to hurt you…” he says softly 
"It's okay” you say just as softly back. 
 and he stands from his seat to put the medicine back on the table along with the blood-soaked cloths. you don't know how you missed it when you've been looking at him the whole time he's been in here, but you notice that he's got bandages too... only his are more blood soaked than your fresh one.
you grab his arm.
“You were hurt too?” you asked.
he smiles at you and slightly pats your head, sitting back beside you.
“aye. I'm okay though, i just needed some stitches that's it” he says
your eyes slightly widen. 
He was injured so badly he needed some stitches!!?
he laughs at your expression.
“San took good care of me so don't worry, okay? I don't need you to worry about me. just leave me to be the one worrying about you alright?” he tells you.
you bite your lip and look at him.
“Did it hurt?” you ask
he laughs and looks up then back at you.
“really? I shoulda been the one asking you that. but no...it didn't hurt, I'm used to injuries like this'' he explained. 
you both sit in a bit of silence for a moment 
“y/n I-” wooyoung began though he didn't get to finish his sentence by the door being knocked and opened, and there stood the fiery red head that hates your guts.
the captain. 
he just stood. looking at you both. 
wooyoung sighs and you notice he pokes the inside of his cheek with his tongue, and he stands.
“I'll go now” he says coldly, and he takes the medicine and cloths away and out the door leaving you with the captain.
What just happened...?
it's quiet and you don't bother to look at the captain.
“I've got a few things to say” the captain begins. he doesn't wait for your answer and walks further into your room, pulling up the chair to sit Infront of you.
you still don't look up at him, your eyes now looking at his boots. 
he clasps his hands together and leans forward in his seat.
“Can you look at me when I speak to you?” he states coldly.
not wanting to piss him off further, you raise your gaze to meet his eye. 
he slightly looks around your room and then back at you, nodding
“so, you can fight. you know how to use a sword. So I'll cut to the chase. I was talking to my crew and given your situation with your family, and the fact I lost some of my crew today, I'm still against the idea of having a woman on board but my crew seems to like you. so, I'd like you to join us. and Second, I wanna thank you for saving my life. I could've been heavily injured or dead if it wasn't for you. don't get me wrong though, just cause I'm thanking you and asking ye to join my crew doesn't mean i like you nor trust you.” he stands making his way to the door, opening it and just before he leaves, he turns to you again.
“you've got till we dock to give me your answer, what'll you do? join the illusion or you can get off my ship the next time we dock” he says still cold before leaving out the door to let you ponder your decision. 
what will you do...?

Boring. 
That is the way you'd describe the day you're having. 
stuck in the old ‘ancient’ mansion of a house in the countryside that your grandparents own. and the worst of all: no internet. How are you gonna listen to your favourite music group and keep up with them? plus you've got your transfer student opportunity coming up
what are you supposed to do for the entirety of the time you're staying with them whilst your parents are away on their ‘business trip’ again. it's always no sooner that they are back, that they leave again.
Now don't get it wrong. you love your grandparents but it would be much better if your parents left you back at home where you have your friends and internet actual Wi-Fi so you can do things. but no. you're stuck here with your younger and older siblings.
...
So here you are sitting in the library reading some random book you picked, sprawled along the couch with your older brother sitting at the opposite side of the room at a table trying to read but being pestered by your younger brother and sisters. 
‘The ship swayed side to side, waves splashing over the deck.
bodies littered the deck from the opposing crew.
blood everywhere.
the injured pirate captain stands. blood oozing from his wounds,
he picks up his sword and then…’
you're pulled from your book with your younger brother's whines and you sigh again watching the argument.
“Come on James, play with us. we're bored by ourselves..” your younger brother pushed for what seemed to be the 100th time.
James sighed 
“Please Callum go bother Y/n or someone else... I'm trying to study,” James explained.
And so with that your siblings turned to you with hopeful eyes, just before you could say anything your Grandma popped her head in the door.
“oh come on now dears, you both have been in here all day nearly, would it hurt to spend some time with each other? tell you what. why don't you all play a game hmm? Maybe outside like tag or ball if not that then this is a very big house with lots of places to hide” she looks at each of you with her hinting.
“you know your parents used to love playing hide and seek here, Y/n. James, you did too so why don't you play with your siblings  and give them the fun of exploring the house too?” your grandma said.
you look at your siblings and James pipes up.
“I'll join only if Y/n does”
you sighed bookmarking your book, you stand keeping it with you. 
“fine.”
James nods “okay then, you all can hide and I will count” 
...
wandering the halls, the voice of James counting to 100 gets more distant. you walk by old paintings and other weird artefacts your grandparents keep.
you come to a stop at a random door, quite far from James and hopefully your younger siblings. opening the door you find most of the furniture still covered with dust sheets, you figure this room was long forgotten due to the old paint cans still laying around. oh well. at least you've got some quiet to read your book for a while.
peeling back the sheet on the lounge couch you brush off any dust that could be there and make yourself comfortable and reopen your book getting lost in the pages..
you don't know how long you've been in this room but you find yourself still to be hidden or either forgot about. closing your book you finally decide to take a look around the room.
It's a huge, spacious room with all its furniture covered. the walls a simple cream colour and wooden floorboards with a large bay and stained glass window and a writing desk placed where the light shines. all in all not much to the room. it was probably going to be a private study for someone..
What catches your interest though is the large painting on the wall, it's a beautiful painting of the ocean, a ship adorning the waves on the canvas. you find yourself drawn to the painting. 
it almost looks as though the waves are actually moving, but that would be crazy.... right? 
water suddenly starts pouring out from the painting.
you laugh. you're most definitely seeing things. this isn't real. it wasn't till the water level started rising you began to panic. you yank the door handle to open the door. it stays shut. since when was the door locked!!? 
the water now just below your chest: the window! The Height of the room was only the second floor. You could jump from this height, no problem! the window doesn't open.
the room seemingly seems to get smaller, is that ship getting closer in the painting? 
The water level still rising, you take a deep breath as the water covers you.
the wooden furniture starts to float around you. 
you begin to swim up to get the last bit of air before it disappears. this was it. you were going to drown.
reaching the surface. you find the blue sky above your head and you in the ocean.
you quickly swim to the writing table to hold onto to keep you afloat. The water is freezing.
looking around you see the large ship coming your way.
“Man overboard!” and someone jumps in the water and swims towards you.
you get dropped onto the deck, the water dripping from you. 
you're surrounded by a group of men. 
“Now, now. what do we have 'er” a man walked through the group. a large hat on his head.
ah. pirates.
He puts his sword under your chin and lifts your head. and hums 
“a woman? now what shall we do with you eh..” he says. 
 a crew member pipes up.
“Captain, all do respect but we can't 'ave a woman onboard the ship. it's dangerous and a bad omen too might i add” he says.
Bad omen? who does this ass think he is.
the captain nods his head.
“hmm you're right. We are headed to land. suppose we could sell 'er and get some shillings for her. throw er in the brig” the captain says with a smirk on his face.
a song of ‘aye aye's’ follow and you are grabbed by 2 muscular men and dragged down the steps of the ship.
you struggle and yell your demands to be let go, which go unheard, as you're thrown into the wet damp cell under the ship. It stinks. the leaked water sloshes as the ship moves on the water, slowly you feel yourself become seasick. you clearly don't have sea legs yet.
...
the ship coming to a rough stop jolts you awake, the cell door flung open. you're grabbed up to your feet by the captain and your hands are tied.
“Sorry 'bout this missy. you'll forgive me right?” he smirks showing his disgusting teeth.
you're then dragged off the deck, to the dock and dragged through whatever place you're in now.
you tug on your restraints but to no avail and get yanked back.
you're then pulled into some shop by the captain and he talks to the man at the desk.
“Ahhh how can I help ya captain, here to buy?” the man with glasses asks
the captain laughs
“no, not this time, i'm actually here to sell” he gestures to you “her”
the man leans over the desk to get a better look at you.
“ooh she's a beauty she is. sell for a fine price she will captain. But what's with her clothes eyy?” the glasses man asked. 
the captain scans over you. 
“d'know found her like that in the water, must've been shipwrecked or sumthin” he said
The glasses man nods his head.
“very well captain. sale is in 2 days if yer staying, she'll definitely sell, then you'll get yer money don't worry.”
the captain nods back, handing over the rope to the men standing at the door and you get pulled into a different room.
the rope on your wrist gets untied, maybe you could escape you thought. but that idea was soon out the moment a gun got pressed to you and told if you ran you'd get shot.
one of the men shove a small pile of clothes in your hand. 
“go behind there. get dressed. no funny business”
and so, not wanting to lose your life you do as told.
standing behind the sheet you strip yourself of your ‘modern’ clothes, putting on the ripped, tattered skirt you were given and white shirt tucked in. you exit from behind the sheet and then dragged into another room. one full of other women. some sleeping, some awake and others crying and scared. you're forced to sit down and chains are put around your ankles and your wrists and the men then leave the room.
you look around the room scanning the other woman: some are older than you, some far far younger. and you look over the woman you see that some are bruised and marked up with hickeys and all sorts. 
...
your eyes open and you sit up. a sharp pain shoots through your neck and back. as it would be sleeping on a hard floor for a few days.
The glasses man walks through the door and starts picking women at random, some screaming shouts of disagreement and the others complying willingly.
he stops in front of you. “her too” and yet again you're getting dragged out of the room. you're then sat in a chair and a woman comes and puts some make-up on your face and does your hair. The finishing touch was the corset that was put on your waist and tightened up so much. but now you see why they did it. your chest was pushed together and appeared to be much bigger than it was.. clearly to get attention of woman hungry men.
the chains were placed back on your feet and hands. and you were put to follow the other woman outside to the square in the middle of the town. already a crowd of men standing waiting to see whom or what they can buy. 
you're forced onto your knees and one by one the man goes down the line and starts to show off and sell the others. and then it was you.
you were dragged to the front and put to your knees again.
“Now, now. isn't this one a beauty?” the man asked the crowd and cheers of agreement erupted.
you zone out as the man starts listing ‘features’ about you trying to entice the buy.
this was it. I'm actually going to get sold off as a slave you thought. you zoned back in to what was happening.
“now d'we have any takers? she'll make a lovely slave and play thing if you'd like” the man asked finally going to sell you off. 
“we'll take her for 10,000 pieces of gold!” someone in the crowd yells out
the man smirks 'sold'  and with that you're dragged away. 
...  [ ??? pov ]
Here we are again on this forsaken horrible island, walking through these empty streets.
there's a crowd just at the square from what i can see..
so i dragged my crewmate along with me to see what all the commotion was about. peeking through the taller men we can see it's a sale, not just any sale. they're selling people. I expected nothing less from this place.
as we watch them go through more and more woman and people...
“now d'we have any takers? she'll make a lovely slave and play thing if you'd like” the salesman asked. That's when I snapped.
my hand shoots in the air “we'll take her for 10,000 pieces of gold!” Then the sales man shouted: sold!.
my hand is then snatched from the air and I'm dragged a bit away.
“Are you crazy? 10,000 gold. Captain’s really gonna kill you this time” 
“well i'd like to see him try either way-” I'm cut off by the man bringing the girl over to us.
“Here you are, gentleman. one slave” my jaw clenches as he says that ‘slave’ I hate that word. “and the gold?” he asks on top of that.
“You'll get your gold, we have to take her to our captain first” I tell him.
the man looks between the two of us “no, no, no. You must think I'm stupid. gold first then the girl is yours.” 
my crewmate then laughs and takes his turn to speak. 
“don't you know who our captain is?” he laughs and he points to our ship's flag. the man's eyes light up in fear and he starts to shake a bit.
“a-ah ah, y'know what. you can give us the gold l-later. tell yer captain there's no r-rush” and the man shoves the girl and proceeds to hurry away.
the girl stumbles from the push and I catch her in my arms. She's quick to try and get away though. She shoves me away and tries to run. only to stumble over the chains still around her ankles.
“Wow, hey hey hey. it's okay we're not gonna hurt you” i tell her. I take my jacket off and wrap it around her shoulders to cover her from the peeping eyes of the men walking by due to her skimpy clothing the slave house has put her in.
“you're okay. you'll be safe with us. don't worry” I try to reassure her again.
My crewmate tugs at my shirt. “hey we need to get her back to the ship now. get those chains off and I need to treat those wounds” he points to them.
my attention was brought back to her. and i start to notice the bruises on her legs and ankles and the numerous cuts that litter her body as well as the blood that's now dripping from her knees from the fall. I wince. I kneel down at her level and she still tries to get away.
“hey, you're gonna need to come with us okay? we need to get you back to our ship and treat your wounds. Would it be okay for me to carry you?” I asked her.
she seems to go into deep thought and then seems to clutch my jacket around her slightly and nods her head. and so I scoop her up into my arms and then begin to walk back to the ship. as I walk the chains around her legs clink together.
it's quiet, so i decide to ask her name.
“I'm Wooyoung by the way. and my crewmate here is San. he's our medic so he'll treat your wounds once we get to the ship. Can I know your name?” I smile at her. The smile slightly falls as she stays quiet. and so the walk continues for a while.
“Y/n..” a quiet voice whispers. I hum in confusion wondering if she even spoke at all.
“my name.. its Y/n..” she says.
y/n.. what a pretty name
...  [ y/n pov ]
Once the man called out sold, I'm grabbed to my feet and pulled towards two men. one tall man with broad shoulders and black hair, the other more slim and smaller too with blonde hair. both wearing similar clothes and hats adorning their heads.
ah more pirates. great...
they both seemed to be deep in conversation before noticing us. the man yanks me closer causing more pain to my bare feet as they scuff the hard stony ground. I can't help the fear that shoots through me at that moment.
What do these men want with me? What will happen to me? Will I ever get home at this rate?   
“Here you are, gentleman. one slave” the man gestures to me. you feel small under the two men's gaze. you see the blonde man's jaw visibly clench. making him appear slightly scary. 
“and the gold?” he adds, holding out his hand to receive his gold?  
“You'll get your gold, we have to take her to our captain first” the blonde man says.
the salesman chuckles and pulls me closer to him “no, no, no. You must think I'm stupid. gold first then the girl is yours.”
the black haired man laughs
“don't you know who our captain is?” he points to a ship's flag in the distance. the salesman's eyes light up in fear and he starts to tremble a bit.
“a-ah ah, y'know what. you can give us the gold l-later. tell yer captain there's no r-rush” the man said and shoves me away as he himself runs away. I fall into the arms of the blonde guy and he wraps his arms around me.
is their captain really that scary for people to run away I really don't wanna meet this guy
and so I push the blonde's arms away and attempt to run, forgetting my chains around my ankles soon falling to the hard ground as my legs get caught up in the chains. I hiss as the ground rips the skin from my knees. Still on my knees I begin to feel small again under the gazes of the men passing by looking at me. I'm practically wearing next to nothing. 
“Wow, hey hey hey. it's okay we're not gonna hurt you” the blonde man says as he takes his jacket off and slightly bends as he drapes it over my shoulders. 
“you're okay. you'll be safe with us. don't worry” the blonde says again.
will I though..?
I stayed quiet and noticed the black haired man tugging at the blondes shirt sleeve.
“Hey, we need to get her back to the ship now. get those chains off and I need to treat those wounds” he tells him and points to me and at the wounds on my body. 
the blonde man looks back at me and scans me, his eyebrows furrowing slightly as he lets out a wince. he then kneels to my level
“hey, you're gonna need to come with us okay? we need to get you back to our ship and treat your wounds. would it be okay for me to carry you?” he asked me.
Will it really be safe to go with these men?
Can I trust them?
they don't really seem bad in my opinion compared to the pirates and men I've already encountered...
only time will tell and besides its more so the captain i'm afraid to meet from the salesman reaction.
What will this guy be like? 
it would still be better than here i hope. I found myself clutching his jacket slightly tighter. He did put it around me to cover me.. so I nod at the blonde.
He then scoops me up in his arms and holds me close as my own arms go around his neck. and The two men start to walk in what I assume is the direction to said ship.
it's too quiet 
All I can hear is the stones crunching under the pairs feet and the blondes breathing. until the blonde pipes up.
“I'm Wooyoung by the way. and my crewmate here is San. he's our medic so he'll treat your wounds once we get to the ship. can i know your name?” he asked and gives you a smile that slightly falters as I stay quiet.
you slightly glance at the black haired man 
hmm San..? San a medic I didn't think he'd be a doctor.. he looks so scary.
i then look to the blonde man
woo...young? wooyoung hmm nice...
As the walk continues you find your tense body slightly relaxed in Wooyoung's hold. his scent calming you.
“y/n…” I quietly let out.
he looks down at me and hums slightly confused
“my name... its y/n…” I say again but a tad bit louder.
he smiles again and nods his head a bit 
The walk shortly comes to an end not long after.
“well 'ere we are” he says and a grand ship comes into view. It's a dark wooden boat and upon the main mast in the wind a black flag with the words "ateez" in white lettering. 
from here it looks like a beautiful ship, well kept. not much damage from what you'd expect on a pirates ship.
and written on the backside of the stern of the ship
‘illusion’

“well 'ere we are” he says and a grand ship comes into view. It's a dark wooden boat and upon the main mast in the wind a black flag with the words "ateez" in white lettering. 
from here it looks like a beautiful ship, well kept. not much damage from what you'd expect on a pirates ship.
and written on the backside of the stern of the ship
"illusion" 
my arms tighten slightly around Wooyoung's neck as we walk across the gangway, it shakes as he walks along and onto the main deck of the ship. The crew currently on the deck stop their conversations and jobs to look at us. some of the men drawing dirty looks at what I'm assuming is me. others only looking then getting back on with their job. I try to avoid their gaze by looking down. wooyoung seems to notice and slightly rubs your back.
“What are you all looking at hmm!!?” he yells, and the rest of the crew awkwardly go back to the jobs they were doing before we came on board. Then a man walked towards us. He was pretty tall, had platinum blonde hair and very sharp features.
he stops before the three of us. looking mostly at me.
“wooyoung, San. Who is this and what is she doing here?” the man asks his voice sounding soft yet stern at the same time
Was this the captain? He came from standing at the wheel... he doesn't seem as scary as the guy made out...
“-so I saved her for 10,000 gold at the slave auction. and now I was going to take her with San to treat her wounds." I missed the start of wooyoung explaining why I'm here just as he finished.
the man pinched the bridge of his nose.
“10,000 gold. Woo, you do know the captain is going to murder you, y'know it's not safe for a girl to be on board. especially a pirate ship... she could get hurt worse, I'm sure she's probably got family somewhere” the man said.
oh,  he's not the captain...
wooyoung then sighed.
“Well, what would you have me do then Seonghwa?. we can't just treat her then leave her on this island and you know it” he spoke to the man.
so seonghwa is his name...
“I'm not telling you to do nothin wooyoung, I'm just asking if you know what you're doing. I'm not quartermaster just to save your skin all the time when the captain gets mad” and with that seonghwa walks away back up the stairs. 
 At this point I don't know what will happen to me, I just look up at wooyoung waiting for him to say something. He sighs again but then smiles looking at you.
“Okay, let's get these chains off then get your wounds dressed and you cleaned up, shall we?” he says.
...
still in wooyoung's arms he takes you below deck. San, no longer with you. He walks where a shining light is. There's lots of weapons propped up from long cutlasses to guns to short daggers sitting sharpening a blade is a man with reddish brown hair, he stops sharpening once he notices you and wooyoung.
“Ah woo what can I do for you...who's this?” the new man asks.
Wooyoung sits you on the spare chair and kneels gently picking up the chains around your ankles.
“We need to get these off before San can treat y/n's wounds” he says to the man gesturing to the chains.
The man comes closer and bends to get a look at the chains. his face slightly scrunching as he sees the cuts on your feet. and then looks at you.
“Names Mingi. I can get these off you as soon as I can alright.?” And then he walks to his tools picking up some cutters and then making his way back to you. 
He kneels down again and cuts the longer chain in the middle, separating your feet. He then worked on the cuffs around your ankles. It took a while or a few hours and was a bit painful from the cuffs getting pulled against your wounds but your feet were now free. thank you thank mingi. though he said it was no problem and he was only doing his job.
...
your feet now free, you were back in wooyoung's arms as he walks you back up a few decks and towards a door. with his arms occupied with you he kicks the door and san opens it. you guess it's his medical room and you both enter. wooyoung places you on the table as San takes a few things from the shelves. 
with bottles in hands, he places them on the table beside you along with some cloth swabs, bandages, a bowl of water and another few bits of cloth. pulling up a chair In Front of you, San sits on the chair placing the cloth in the bowl of water then rings it out slightly, taking your foot in his hand he wipes the dirt, dry and wet blood of your feet and ankles. he then opens one of the bottles he placed beside you and pours some of the liquid onto the swab and dabs it on your cuts and wounds. you hiss pulling back your feet from the sharp stings.
“Sorry, I should've told you it was gonna sting so you could be ready” he said, bringing your foot back. He places the ointment-soaked cloth back onto your wounds, you still hiss but not as worse as you did the first time. 
so, he continues to clean your wounds and then binds them to keep infection out. it was then you moved onto the next topic: your clothes.
After a long loooooong discussion, the three of you came to the conclusion that you'd borrow some of wooyoung's for now until you reach another island where you could get some of your own.
 And so now here you are, sitting on Wooyoung's bed in his cabin room as he rummages through his clothes trying his best to find ones that would best fit you. multiple shirts and trousers litter the floor. you just sit awkwardly in the man's room.
There's then a knock at the door, wooyoung stops his rummaging and looks towards the door going to open it however it opens on its own. Seonghwa pops in.
“Captain wants to see you,” he says to Wooyoung.
“Now?” he asked
“Now. He's also highly pissed off just to let you know," Seonghwa informs.
Wooyoung sighs and leaves the room.
now left in the room alone with seonghwa its quiet, too quiet. an awkward kind of quiet.  
that quiet is broken by seonghwa.
“Did you get your wounds clean?” he asked. He sounded a bit cold with his tone.
you nod.
However, you don't get to start a proper conversation as you both hear a shattering of glass and what you assume to be the thudding of harsh footsteps.
the door is then flung open, and standing at the entrance of it, is a man who is seething with anger. he is dressed in a white shirt and much different from the others he's wearing a longer coat and on top his head is a large pirate's hat with a feather, and a scar adorning the right side of his face. and an eyepatch, you know who this man is right away: the captain.
and right now, he seems all just as scary to you as everyone makes him out to be.
“Please, PLEASE tell me wooyoung. you did not use 10,000 gold on this” the man asked, balling his fist slightly and from what you can see pokes the inside of his cheek with his tongue. 
yep,  this man is definitely pissed.  
“Technically I didn't because we've yet to give the money” wooyoung tells him, probably hoping to calm him down.
the man rubs his face in anger and sighs out angrily.
“Get her off my ship now”
it's then that seonghwa steps in
“Captain, with all due respect, this island isn't safe for women. and to be honest if you were to chuck her off, she'd most likely be killed as a result of them not getting any money at all. your best bet would be to let her stay on the ship and let her off once we get to a safer island”
the captain sighed again, looking dead eye at seonghwa, then at wooyoung.
“Fine. but I mean she's off this ship as soon as we dock at an island.” He points at them both
“And you will be responsible for her for the time being that she's here, she also needs to pull her weight as well. Do I make myself clear? tell San that too.”
the two let out ‘yes captains’ and he then looks at you.
“Do I?” He asks, his voice cold and void of any emotion.
you see wooyoung behind him gesturing with his eyes for you to say something. anything really.
you suck in a breath
“Yes sir” you squeak out. 
he lets out a breathy laugh, shakes his head and leaves the room all while you heard him mutter something along the lines of ‘this is why women shouldn't be on ships’
seonghwa claps his hands together and then gets up from the table he was leaning on
“Okay then, I guess I'll go tell San that and get back to work” and then seonghwa too leaves the room. 
so, it was then just you and wooyoung. It was quiet. again.
“Ah! That's right! clothes” he says going back to searching for some clothes for you. 
He then stops and when he turns you see a bundle of clothes in his arms, and he places them beside you on the bed.
“Hopefully they're not too baggy for you, the shirt might be but I hope the pants at least fit” he says. 
he awkwardly points to the door
“I'll just be outside the door while you change, okay? just knock once you're done” and he then leaves, closing his room door behind him.
you look at the clothes beside you and see that he's given you a white shirt and some marron-coloured trousers. 
you strip yourself of the tattered revealing clothes and put those on, and he was right. the shirt was far too big though you just tucked it into the trousers. you then realised you had no shoes, but it'd probably be best not to put any on just now, not till your wounds on your ankles heal.  
you knock on the door, signalling that you're done. He opens it.
“Well at least the pants fit.” he said he gestures to the door with his head
“Come on, you're gonna be here a while before we reach an island. probably take a few weeks. and if you're gonna be pulling your own weight let me, give you a tour of the ship” he says
...
walking to the top deck after seeing all of the below deck was disorientating as you were no longer docked at the island you were now out in the middle of the ocean. 
walking across you stumbled a bit and wooyoung of course caught you.  
“Seems someone doesn't have their sea legs yet” a voice called out with a laugh. 
you look around but alas no one was there, you look up a bit and there leaning in the rigging is another member of the crew. he climbs down the rigging and stands In Front of you both.
“don't worry, a few days of being on the ship and you'll get 'em!” He says with a smile. 
“I'm Yunho by the way,” he adds at the end. 
“y/n..” you tell him. 
“You must've had a long day y/n. well you two let's go eat! I think seonghwa made some dinner and you y/n can meet the rest!” Yunho says, chucking an arm around the back wooyoung's neck and pulls you both along. 
...
sitting at the table along with them all minus the captain felt awkward to say the least. and to be honest you think everyone felt like that. Everyone just silently ate their food.
As seonghwa collects the empty dirty dishes you thank him for the meal and offer to help with the dishes to which he declines saying he'll do them later. everyone still sitting at the table seonghwa clears his throat.
“Why don't we all introduce ourselves a bit better and what we do to clear this awkward atmosphere? Y/n is going to be here a while” 
and so, with everyone agreeing. Everyone took a turn at the table to introduce themselves a bit better to you. 
starting with seonghwa he explained that he was quartermaster and that just meant he was in charge if the captain was unable to and was second to the captain
then you found out Yunho was a barrel man which definitely explained why he was then in the rigging when you met him earlier.
you already knew San was their doctor, but he still explained that. 
Mingi you also figured that he was the blacksmith on board, but he also stated that he was the master at arms. 
Wooyoung who was sitting beside you told you that his position was also him being a barrel man like Yunho. Which left you with the last two who sat at the table who you haven't seen at all, you learned their names were Yeosang and Jongho. 
yeosang explained to you that he was the crews sailing master which meant he was their navigator and responsible for knowing where the ship is at all times and for planning their voyages. and Jongho said he was the master gunner which made sense he looked pretty strong so it's only reasonable he'd be good at fighting and using guns. 
It was nice to get to know them like this, that was until it was your turn to give more information about you and how you ended up on that dreadful island. Now you could tell them the truth, but you had little hope they'd believe you. so you made up a lie.
you told them that you were shipwrecked, no longer had family and then how that horrible pirate crew found you and took you to that island to sell you and then of course how wooyoung rescued you and now here you were.
you all conversed for a few hours more, and you even managed to do a few dishes after pestering to at least wash a few. and now you're walking down the corridor with wooyoung.
“You can take my room for now. I'll bunk up with San or someone” he says to you opening his room door, you protest.
“No, no. wooyoung I'm grateful you'd do this but i can't kick you out of your room” 
he looks down and then back at you.
“So... you'd rather me take you below deck and let you sleep in a hammock with the rest of the crew who as you saw today don't necessarily like you?” He said.
letting the thought sink in and seeing the look on your face afterwards he laughs.
“y/n. it's okay, really! It's only for a few days. We do have a spare cabin, but it's filled with some of yeosang's extra books and maps so he'll clear it out and then you can sleep there for the time being. so really. it's okay just sleep here.” he says pushing you in the room and then he says goodnight closing the door behind him. 
pushing down on the door handle you realise he's locked the door as well. In other words, he's not really giving you a choice. Is he? 
slipping under the covers you let your tiredness and thoughts consume you.
maybe. just maybe it won't be as bad here...

“so, you can fight. you know how to use a sword. So I'll cut to the chase. I was talking to my crew and given your situation with your family, and the fact I lost some of my crew today, I'm still against the idea of having a woman on board but my crew seems to like you. so, I'd like you to join us. and Second, I wanna thank you for saving my life. I could've been heavily injured or dead if it wasn't for you. don't get me wrong though, just cause I'm thanking you and asking ye to join my crew doesn't mean i like you nor trust you.” he stands making his way to the door, opening it and just before he leaves, he turns to you again.
“you've got till we dock to give me your answer, what'll you do? join the illusion or you can get off my ship the next time we dock” he says still cold before leaving out the door to let you ponder your decision. 
what will you do...?
Join his crew? 
join him after how rude he's been to you? after all his insults... and all his sexist comments about women and ships... 
you couldn't deny the fact these thoughts made you not want to join his crew.
you just don't get him. How could he be so rude, cold, practically despising your presence one second and the next he saved you  and helped you through a panic attack... 
Does he have a split personality or something...
Despite these thoughts of the cold captain, the positives about joining the crew outweigh his bad points.
joining his crew could mean you can figure out how to get home!!... if you can get home that is.. and besides, you quite like the rest of his crew. they're nice and some are sweet. you can't just get up and leave them.  
so, you make your way out of your room and up the stairs onto the main deck, there were still traces of blood from the fight
you really wonder what happened and why those people attacked...
“Y/n~~” you heard your name being called, turning your head towards the voice.
oh? It's Yunho...?
looking at him you notice that he too has a few injuries of his own, he has a few cuts on his face and arms and it looks like he's got a bit of a busted lip...
“Oh Yunho... hi”
He makes his way down the rigging and walks towards you.
“so…” he begins. ”i uh overheard the captain saying he wants you to join us to seonghwa earlier,” he said.
you slightly nod gazing out towards the water.
Yunho tilts his head in your direction.
“are you going to?” he asked
he raises his hands in defence 
“I mean I'm not forcing you or anything but I think you should. We enjoy your company on the ship. and you're nice to be around, and… you might not know it yet but everyone in this ship is here because of a reason. So just think about it, okay?” he said and pats your shoulder. walking away to go elsewhere. 
you stand and watch the waves a bit more, the sound of them crashing against the ship calming. 
sighing you push yourself away from the side of the ship. and make my way inside. 
...
standing In Front of the door your palms began to sweat and slightly shake as you raise your fist to knock on the door
you knock, its quiet for a minute before someone sighs 
“Come in” a voice calls out.
opening the door you enter and the door swings shut behind you as if sealing your fate.
there he sits. map rolled out in front of him on the desk of a dark coloured bottle sitting on the corner. 
he shakes his hand angrily through his red hair 
“What” he spat out coldly. his eyes burning holes into me 
you clasp yor hands together in hopes to get them to stop shaking.
“i- i have my answer” you voice hoping it was loud enough for him to hear. 
he sighs out and rests his chin on his hand. 
“And what is it?” he asked.
“I'd like to join,” you say more confidently. 
He stands placing his hands on the table.
“Alright then. you may leave now” he said, still cold as he started to look over the map again. 
“yes sir” you quietly said and turned for the door.
“Stop” you heard him call out. you turn to face him. He makes his way to the front of the desk.
“If you're gonna be a part of my crew you best learn to address me properly” he spoke.
you just stand. blinking at him.
“Seriously” he sighs out and crosses his arms over his chest.
“It's the captain. c a p t a i n. captainnnn.” He said drawing out the last captain.
oh.
“ah, yes c-captain sorry” you apologised 
“good. don't apologise, just do it and get out and leave me be now” he spoke cold and proceeded to push you out the door.
you stand and turn back to face the now closed door that you were just shoved out. eyebrows furrowed and mouth slightly parted.
asshole. 
...
“Land hoooo!”
and there indeed was the island, it didn't take long to sail towards it nor dock the ship. and Soon all of you were on deck.  the captain giving out orders of who's to fetch what while on the island, you on the other hand didn't have a role. 
you were to simply fetch yourself some clothes for you to wear. if you were a part of the crew then you'd need your own instead of borrowing. and the person who was tasked to go with you was seonghwa.
so here you were walking with seonghwa as you looked at and bought various shirts, pants and even a skirt for some reason. Now you were just browsing the vast amounts of stalls.
you walked past a stall showing different styles of corsets, now you weren't gonna lie a few did catch your eye but you couldn't possibly wear one of those besides how would you breathe? 
“See something you like?” 
you jumped and turned to the voice 
seonghwa..
“yeah but I was just looking. I couldn't possibly get one” you told him. 
he tilts his head
“Why not?” he gestures to the countless women around you both, every one of them wearing a corset of some type. “they're all wearing one,” he said.
you laugh and shake your head.
“I just wouldn't feel comfortable wearing one,” you said. a half lie. you wanted one that's true but at the same time you thought you wouldn't feel comfortable with the constriction of your lungs while trying to breathe wearing one. 
he nods to your explanation 
“Okay” he said.  then you both start walking away from the stall
“Seonghwa~~~!!! Y/n~~~!!!” you and seonghwa stop at the sound of your names being called and you turn to where you heard them being called.
and there was wooyoung running towards you both, San and Yunho promptly running along after him.
Once he reaches you both. He flings his arms around both your necks pulling you both close to him.
“Hey you two!! Having fun? did you get some clothes for yerself y/n?” he asked, wide eyed looking at you.
Seonghwa shakes his arm off as San and Yunho catch up
“What’d you thinks in the bags woo?” he says to him waving the paper bag in his face.
“Okay, okay. Let's not argue. let's say we drop these bags back at the ship and~~” Yunho says pull you from wooyoung's grasp by your hands. pulling you close to him and wrapping his arm around your shoulder
“we all go get a drink at the tavern huh” he finishes looking between you all. biting his lip slightly. 
no one answers. seonghwa seems to be thinking about yunho's suggestion while wooyoung's eyes linger on yunho's arm that's around you.
just as you're about to open your mouth San pipes in.
“sounds like a great idea! besides, we could all use a drink couldn't we?” he said. 
everyone ends up agreeing and you all head back to the ship to drop off the bags and the things Yunho, wooyoung and san had bought. telling the others on the way about your plan to go to the tavern.
though you all forgot to do one very important thing...
...
Now here you all are sitting around a table in the bustling tavern, music slightly playing unheard over the countless men being loud and rowdy. you lightly sipping on our drink every so often. you didn't drink alcohol much.
while the others... well let's say they drank, and by drank you mean a lot. 
you don't know how long you were there for, but the table slowly but surely started to fill up with empty pint cups. you were all sat listening to jongho tell a story. Most of the guys tried their best to listen but most were dazed and out of it. eyes hazed over. poor seonghwa looked as though his head would hit the table any minute. 
jongho moving his arms ecstatically in his drunken state nearly hitting a poor guy walking past
“And there I was!! the criminal trapped right at the end, nearly had the sucker. THEN!! he socked me one and he would've gotten away but that's when i met the captain and-” 
SLAM 
jongho's story is interrupted by a heavily drunk wooyoung standing and slamming his hands on the table. He winces from the sting and staggers as he points his finger with his whole arm. 
“I'll tell you something about the captain,” he says, his speech slurred from drunkenness.  and goes on to tell his part.
you however being the only sober one notice something that everyone else doesn't in their drunken state of mind. 
a familiar mop of red hair entering the tavern and scanning the place until his eye lands on you. you feel yourself sinking into yourself trying to hide and as he marches to your table you focus back on the group and current drunken story teller: wooyoung.
“now. don't get me wrong. I love our captain but.. he can be a real mean asshole sometimes. makes me wanna take my dagger and ram it up his a-” he pauses mid-sentence and is looking at you. 
his eyebrows furrow
“what? what's with that face?” he asks his voice cracking at the start
and your eyes as well as the rest of the crews slightly shift to the furious red haired man standing behind him with his arms crossed
you forgot to tell the captain...
“what are you…” wooyoung begins and then follows your stare and everyone else's at the table and slowly oh so very slowly turns to face the captain
“Oh” he says.
the captain just stares at him, nose slightly flaring from anger.
wooyoung nervously smiles.
“hi hongjoong” he says
the captain or hongjoong raises his eyebrow.
“Excuse me?” he begins. His voice is laced with so much fury it makes you want to crawl into a hole and never come out.
He eyes all of you at the table.
“do.. do you all know how worried I've been!!?” he says, raising his voice as he slams his fist on the table as wooyoung did before only this time with more force as it tips over a few cups. 
“I came out of my room to find my crew. My crew. gone. no one seemed to bother telling me. Hell you didn't even leave a note.  I thought anything could've happened to you all. anything. I.. I thought you'd all been fucking captured or something!!” he yelled gaining the attention of other tavern goers. and the tavern goes slightly silent 
hongjoong laughs out in anger
“but no.. you're all here..” he says a bit quieter looking at the table now. the others looking down in shame but you. you saw something on the captain's face..
“drinking.. laughing.. and making fun” he added.
sadness 
That was what was on his face.
you could've sworn you heard him whisper out 'of me' at the end of his sentence.
He lets out a bit of a laugh 
“Whatever” he said biting his lip and wiped his face,
“Just hurry and get back to the ship. It's late. and we start planning our journey to find the Cromer tomorrow” and he made his way to the tavern door before shouting
“What are you all looking at! mind your own damn business!!” and then he was out the door.
...
After the outburst, most of the crew seemingly now sober after the scare from Hongjoong. Everyone was trying to tidy the bar table. but you. you had questions so you pestered seonghwa for the answers which he gave most likely because though looking sober he was still pretty drunk. 
you wanted to know about this Cromer thing the captain mentioned and all seonghwa said was it was the treasure they needed to find before it got into the wrong hands.
wrong hands. who could possibly be after this thing and if it's in the wrong hands then why are these people bad...?
but there it was. the beginning and plan of your first adventure...
you quickly leave the tavern, slightly shivering from the cool of the wind and make your way back to the ship.
only you don't get to the ship, you see hongjoong sitting on the beach watching the waves.
he sits, knees tucked up. his jacket discarded on the sand and his shirt's sleeves rolled up slightly.
carefully you tread your way towards him and settle on the sand beside him.
you stare at him. He makes no move to look at you and keeps his stare on the waves peacefully crashing in.
it's quiet for some time, nothing being spoken between the two of you. until it wasn't.
“What” falls past his lips ever as cold as always.
you suck in a breath about to answer him, but he speaks again.
“Why are you still sitting with me?” he says.
you're confused.
“after everything they were saying at the tavern.. I'm sure you agree with them” he says with a sniff.
he's... crying!!?
you softly smile to yourself.
“I think you've misunderstood, captain” you begin.
he side-glances at you confused.
“Your crew weren't bad mouthing you at all! they really care about you. In fact, they were telling me about how you saved them. how you saved each one of them and they're really grateful for you…” you finish
This only made the man cry more.
“hey hey” you say in a soothing tone and take his hands in yours and try to look at his face.
you gasp.
“y-you're bleeding!” you say. as you watch the blood seep out from underneath his eyepatch.
removing one of his hands from your hold he touches his face, and sure enough there's blood
he laughs slightly
“Oh. This just happens sometimes. it's nothing to worry about.” he tells you
nothing to worry about!!?
you stand and pull him to his feet
“What are you-” he begins but is cut off from you, starting to walk back to the ship and pull him into san's medic study.
you sit him down and search for some things. and once you find the things you turn back to him only to find more tears rolling down his cheeks.
“why” he says.
“Why are you being so nice to me when I've been a complete asshole to you…”
“well you are an asshole but I think you're more broken and kind than you let on captain” you explain to him as you wipe the slowly drying blood from his face
“hongjoong” he says.
you look at him.
“hmm”
“hongjoong. call me that” he says
you slowly nod. 
“okay. well hongjoong. Does it need to be cleaned under your eyepatch?” you say as you reach for it. he grabs your wrist.
“it's okay i can do it.. thanks y/n.. y-you can go.” he says. 
you stand and put a hand gently on his shoulder
“Are you sure?” 
he just nods ever so slightly.
and with no other option if he's not comfortable, you leave the room.
...
A few days had passed since the moment you had with hongjoong on the beach and in Sans study and it was sort of safe to say he was slowly changing his way of acting towards you and now you were also back on the waves beginning the search for this treasure.
 you were yet again leaning on the side of the ship watching the waves crashing on the wood, then a familiar mop of red hair pops in your peripheral vision.
turning to the side you see hongjoong also leaning on the side 
he looks at you and smirks a little
“enjoying the view,”  he asks.
you nod. 
“yeah, i am it's so peaceful” 
he smiles
“yeah it is. it's so freeing to me y'know?” he says, holding onto the side and leaning back as the wind blows through his hair.
he looks at you, only to find you looking back at him. His eyes looking conflicted in the next second.
“ah! yeah i was going to say. This voyage is most likely going to be dangerous. Now I know you can fight but you're missin a few points. I'd also like to train you up on using a gun and cutlass better if you're comfortable?” he says
your brows furrow
“you mean... you.. train me?” you ask to which he nods
“yeah.. if that's okay..” he adds
you agree
he claps his hands together once. 
“Great training starts tomorrow, okay?” he said and began to walk towards seonghwa who was at the wheel.
so training with the captain. How fun. if only you knew.
not long after the captain left you, another crew member saunters over to you 
wooyoung.
“so..” he begins
“training with the captain huh?” he asks 
“y'must be dreading that. with the way he treats you” he added
wooyoung lets out a nervous laugh ”you could.. always train with me.. y'know?”
you smile.
“That's sweet of you Woo. Thank you. but…” you say as your gaze drifts from him to where the captain stands now at the wheel 
“i'll have to get back to you on that one”
you miss the hurt that flashes on his face 
“no, no. That's okay. I was just saying because of how rude he is to you but whatever” he says and walks away.
what. what just happened.
you stand still looking in the direction wooyoung left in. perplexed.
shaking the feelings away, you make your way to yeosang's study. knocking on the door and entered once you heard his quiet 'come in'
you find him at his desk looking at the large map
“hey” you say to which he says hi back. you watch as he makes markings and little notes which you assume is for hongjoong about this journey.
“so..” you begin. “where are we going anyway?” you ask him 
He points to an island on the map.
“captain wants to go 'ere and thinks we'll find somethin useful there.. i disagree nothing but bandits there.” yeosang spoke his opinion. 
“maybe he knows something.. maybe there is something there” you tell him.
yeosang looks at you and sighs
“perhaps but its awful dangerous”
dangerous.. so that's why he wants me trained up you thought
...
Wooyoung sits in his crow nest with yunho.
yunho looking with his spyglass actually doing the job of a lookout, while wooyoung... well his spyglass is long forgotten on the planks of the crows nest. 
he sits with eyes fixated on you and the captain..
he watches as your cutlasses clang off each other and how hongjoong stops to adjust something about your stance or just giving pointers  
he doesn't fail to take notice of hongjoong's smile on his face nor the one on yours.
he sits arms crossed, tongue poking his cheek as he lets out another sigh
yunho sighs too
“wooyoung. why not instead of sitting and sighing. you do your job?” he says as he chucks the spyglass at him.
wooyoung lets out a laugh
“technically I am Yun. I'm observing the crew” he says
yunho shakes his head and continues to look through his own spyglass out a the waters
Yunho's words fall short as wooyoung continues to glare daggers at the pair below on the deck.
...
“again!” hongjoong said as he took his position, you followed suit, sighing. 
your whole body hurts. you've been doing this training for hours.. all day for the past 3 days. and let me tell you. hongjoong is not a lenient teacher. you definitely see why he's the captain. 
your cutlasses clang against each other and yet again he disarms you.
“Y'know if this was a real battle you'd be dead” he says throwing his head back running his hand through his red hair. when doing so he catches a glimpse of something or rather someone.
he lets out a chuckle
“Oh wow. this is great” he mutters under his breath, a small smirk making its way onto his face.
you stand and pick up your cutlass, hongjoong smirks
“again”
the metal crashes against each other
The cutlass again slips from your hand and pain shoots through you as you land on your butt.
the captain laughs and his sword points at your throat
“dead.. again” he says
nope he's still an asshole 
he holds out his hand for you to take it, you smack it away picking yourself up and your cutlass
“again” you say
hongjoong smirks again
“okay... determination i like it” he says and ready's himself 
and the clanging of metal begins again
he's being cocky you thought, and it was then that you saw your chance 
using your foot you slip it under his own making him fall on his own ass. 
“YESS” you hear being shouted. your eyes immediately flicker about to see who it was. then your eyes go up to see yunho with his hand over wooyoung's mouth as he raises his hand in apology
you shake your head with a laugh and turn back to the captain who's still on the floor glaring up at wooyoung
you lean yourself on your sword and then extend your hand to the captain
“well now you're dead captain” you say teasingly
he takes you hand and lets out a “ha ha”
he was about to say something-
“captain! land ho!!” yunho shouts from the nest. 
it was now that you took notice of your surroundings 
There it was! an island with rainforest looking trees. very dense looking. you're brought out of observing by hongjoong explaining what was going to happen.
“alright crew. we'll camp on the beach for now and some of you will stay 'ere and guard the ship. I don't think we need to worry about the bandits right now as we're on the other side of the island and at first light we'll make our trek to find her” he says 
and then the 9 of you plus a few extra pile into a few row boats after gathering some supplies and make the row towards the beach of the island. 
after getting to shore you all set up camp. and got started making a stew
“y'know there's still a few hours of light left. how'd you feel about training with one of these?” hongjoong asked you holding a pistol “you don't have to. i'd just feel calmer if you knew how to at least get a shot with one”
you reluctantly agree to do more of this training.
so now here you were a little ways further down the beach with some empty glass bottles on some crates.
“you ever shot one of these?” he asks
you shake your head 
“no.. we don't have guns back home or so to speak we're not allowed them” you say
“oh.. That's odd, nearly all towns and villages allow them here that I know of.. Right then.. well i'll show ye first then you can try okay?” he says and you nod.
and then hongjoong points the gun and bang! the glass shatters
you jump from the loud noise 
he notices and places a hand briefly on your shoulder
“You okay?”
you nod and then he places the gun in your hand
“now you try” he says 
and let's just say it's not going well. you've shot everywhere except the glass bottles. you've shot the sand, the crates, water even the tree just behind the crates
“y'know what” hongjoong says. ”I think I might have something that'll help you. i'll be back” he says as he makes his way back to the camp.
... 
again wooyoung sits eyeing the both of you still huffing and puffing. only this time instead of it being yunho its poor jongho that's getting the sigh’s in his ear.
that is until jongho's had enough.
“Why don't you just go over there and help her hmm? instead of huffing over here? Yer giving me a headache” he asks him, ”Look the captain’s coming back here so you go help her instead of whining to everyone about the captain being the one to help her.”  and with that jongho shoves the blonde in your direction down the beach.
“okay. i will just.. distract the captain for a bit will ya?” he says to jongho and then saunters his way down to you.  
... 
“Need some help?” 
startled from the sudden voice you turn to face them
“oh wooyoung.. yes please hongjo- ah the captain just disappeared on me” you say.
he takes the gun from your hands and settles himself on the sand patting the space next to him
“i feel you can't use a gun properly unless you understand how it works” and then he began explaining the different parts of the weapon to you
by the time he finished explaining the sun was starting to set
“okay now show me how you shoot, so i can see what it is you're doing wrong” he says
so you take aim and again miss the glass.
he nods
“hmm i see, 'ere try this and take aim” he says and passes you a smaller pistol. 
you take it and it feels much better in your small hands and then you aim for the bottles like he said
“you're also aiming too low.. try and aim just above the place you want to shoot” wooyoung spoke
he stands behind you almost flush. he gently touches your shoulders
“relax.. you're too tense you'll get hurt if you're too stiff” 
breathing in and then out trying to calm yourself, your shoulders visibly relax.
“good” he says
his hands slide from your shoulders down your arm to your hands where he raises your aim
“okay.. hold it there” his hands glide back up your arm and fall to rest on your waist
“shoot” he orders
BANG
his hands on your waist steadied you from the recoil 
the glass had shattered!!.
“better?” he whispered
you nod
“thank you” you turn to look at him his hands still on your waist
he was so close..
you saw how his eyes looked into yours, how he took in a shaky breath
“y/n I..” he whispered
you both were so close that your noses where almost touching, that you could almost ki-
a loud terrifying shriek comes from the forest.
wooyoung's quick to grab the pistol from you and aim it in the direction the noise came from
“w-what was that!?” you ask trying to steady your breathing
“the beast” hongjoong said eyes bore into you both.
