The wind stays hitched between her air pipe, her lungs already giving up in an attempt to release a large breath as she held it like a prisoner in it's cage.

The organ placed down at the pit of her stomach turns at the scene before her.

Blood sprinkled everywhere like sparks of fireworks, instead this specific liquid was not even close enough to be mentioned next to the latter.

She stood stiff inside the darkness of the closet meant for placing formal wear and peeked out from the gap provided in between the two closed portals.

Memories hit her like a downer at the moment.

She had been here before.

She had seen the same sailors attacking. She had seen the same crimson blood coming from the individual’s bodies.

The only difference this time was that it wasn't her parents who were being brutally murdered nor was she still too small and naive to not know what was actually happening before her.

The sailors and guards of the former King of The Seven Seas, Pirateer Kang have once again decided to attack the developed village born in between the seas of Amnok and Tuman in Joseon Korea.

And yet again they have decided to barge into the large residence of the murdered King Yoon of Joseon to steal and kill whatever or whoever they wanted.

'Not again..'

The murder of her parents taking place right before her eyes has left a dark stain on her once innocent mind and it has led her here, alone and angered.

The anger she felt inside her has turned into a pure form of hatred and it has been mocking her for revenge.

The only source of hope that has kept her inside the boarders of sanity was the group of fired and wasted sailors she had met a few years ago.

They had promised to help her. They would help her get her revenge from the ones who were involved in the murder of her parents.

"Ahoy! Come out come out where ever you are!"

She placed a hand over her mouth and backed away from the door when a hoarse voice hit her eardrums.

They are here to get her. She knows it.

She forced herself not to wince as two figures walked past the closet with heavy steps.

'Where are they?' She wonders on the late presence of her own seamen.

She let out a shaking sigh and leaned in to check if the sailors were gone. She blinked when she no longer felt their presence in the room.

'Are they gone?'

Silence decided to step in and wrench the walls of the chamber with an echoing mock.

Just as she thought that she was finally left alone, the portal of the closet harshly jerks open.

She let out a squeal and immediately backed away.

She looked up at the two figures now standing before her with wide eyes and her heart skips a beat in fear.

One of the sailor smirks, his teeth that were attacked with the lash of fungi scaring her to the tips of her toes.

"Found ya!" With that, both of the males jump at her.

She immediately crouched down and let her body slide out from the gap in between their bodies.

With quick moments, she turned around and placed both her palms on their backs and pushed both of their bodies inside the closet with all her might.

The males, caught off guard let out “oofs” of surprise and she hurriedly closed the portal of the closet behind them.

Not surprised, Pirateer Kang's sailors were always the slower, low witted ones.

She picks up the lower part of her large white night dress and makes a run towards the portal of her chamber.

She turned left the moment she got out and started to sprint towards the grand entrance downstairs.

And that was when she realized how the residence of her murdered father, King Yoon was a chaotic mess.

Maids running around trying to save themselves while the sailors took anything they could with them.

She immediately ducked down when a white, clay vase came flying towards her.

The vase hit one of the sailors behind her and disappointment hit her when she noticed the pieces falling to the ground.

The flower vase was gifted to her by her father.

"Y/n!" Her ears perks up at the familiar voice and she turns her head around once she hears it.

"Jin!" A sigh leaves her lips and she hurriedly walks up to a rather calm looking approaching male.

He takes a hold of her hand the moment they reach each other and starts to direct her upstairs. "You alright?"

"I am. Who are these men?" Y/n questions, a delicate hand holding her dress up as to prevent herself from stumbling and falling.

"They are here for you. Kang is close to the boarders." Jin informs, leading her up the stairs.

"Shouldn't we go outside? This may be our chance to make a move." Y/n inquires, not understanding his motives yet still following him.

She didn't have any chances.

Jin shakes his head. "No princess. You have to stay low right now. Use your father's secret passageway to skip out of the residence. We have to leave! Now!"

Y/n stared at him for a second with furrowed brows and dropped her shoulders as the male nodded at her.

"Make sure to take your father's secret way to go outside. We will meet at the back. I will go get the others." Jin says, before turning around and sprinting off downstairs.

Y/n released her gown and walked inside the working chamber that belonged to her father and locked the door behind her.

She sighs, letting her eyes trail over every part of the work place.

She remembered how she used to play around in here, not letting her father work for even a little bit.

She was going to be leaving soon, does that mean she will loose this place? Will she loose the place she was raised in?

"You have to continue to remain strong. We have to take revenge."

She lets Jin's words, one of her sailor friends, pass through her brain causing her to sigh.

She walks up to the gigantic book rack of her deceased father's library and pulls out a specific book.

The ground vibrates beneath her and she watched as one of the columns of the rack starts to move inside the wall, slowly revealing a passageway.

She puts the book back in its place and enters the cave like darkness.

Y/n grabs a hold of her necklace that dangles from around her neck and closes the rack behind her.

Something was telling her to not go further inside.

But she trust Jin. He won't betray her.

He had promised her that he would help her get revenge.

She walked further into the cave, the torches attached to the walls allowing her to see.

She tightened her hold around the necklace and took a turn to the left.

Her body suddenly froze when her eyes landed upon the scene in front of her.

Her heart skips a beat and she backs away in shock.

"Welcome, princess!"

King Kang stood before her, chin held high as he stare at her in amusement, a smirk holding his features.

He finally got her.

Y/n stirs, her mind drowsy and heavy from sleep and she slowly stretches out.

A groan leaves past her lips when her body resisted the urge, feeling as if it was bonded to this place by a force.

She slightly opens her eyes, hearing voices and shouts from everywhere around her.

She sat there for a minute, adjusting her eyes and focusing her mind back to reality.

"Yo Ho Ho! Captain Kang, the girl is back from her dreamland." A loud clear voice booms up from somewhere to the mentioned being.

Her eyes snap open at that and she immediately sits up and looks around at the environment and happenings around her.

Males, sailors and workers surrounded her, each one of them tended to their own work of pulling ropes, climbing the shrouds and balancing the wheel of the ship and much more.

'Ship!'

Her eyes widens and she sits up further from her leaning place to look around the hull of the ship.

She was in a ship, and let alone the former, she was in King Kang's ship.

'No! This can not be.'

She was just in her own residence. How did she get here?

Footsteps came her way and it took her a moment to realize that everyone was now staring at her.

She looked down at her hands, only to find them tied up and she soon realizes there’s a rope that goes around her whole body.

Her eyes shift up slowly when she notices someone’s legs show up before her, or to be more specific, a leg appears before her. And the other one had a wooden peg, looking like it had been carved from the bone of a whale. The peg was stuck into one of his cut out legs.

Her eyes trail further up to the individuals face and she soon lets the horror melt down to her heart.

There, right before her, stood King Kang, the captain of the ship she was currently flowing on.

The face she knew she could never forgot. The person who had killed her parents with his own hands. The one who had ruined her life in the span of a few seconds.

He was standing before her, all mighty and tall, his face has wrinkled from the last time she had seen him and the more she stare at him, the more she felt her hatred bubbling up.

"What do you want from me?" She speaks up, her glare piercing as it dug into him with the force of a bullet.

The captain lets out a chuckle of amusement. "Getting in to the concern straight ahead. Brave girl. If your father was to be present, he would have patted your adorable little head for your bravery."

Y/n’s eyebrow twitched, having no motive but to just jump on him and claw his eye out. Words bitter, she spits out. "He would have if his life wasn’t taken from him by the very person who has some nerve to stand before me."

A slight shock passes through his eyes, then suddenly he begins to laugh humorously, his sailors following after him like they have just heard the joke of the seventh sea.

"Avast ye, my sailors." He calls out to his sailors who already have all their attention on him. "The little girl knows who has murdered her father."

"Yes! I murdered him and your mother. But i was not at fault. The target was someone else. They were the ones who came in between a shot arrow." Captain Kang spoke up, walking towards the chain edge with the help of a wooden stick in his hand.

Y/n furrowed her brows. “Another target?"

The male look out at the deep sea and smirks. "You!" He then turns around and grins almost evily. "You were the reason they died."

The woman's eyes widen and she releases a breath.

No way.

It can not be.

'He's lying.'

"Stop lying." She spits.

The male tilts his head and hums, showing his fake disappointment. "What would i get from lying? What is done is done! Your precious family is gone and your oh so loyal friends have also deceived you."

"They did not." Y/n denies, even though the truth had been lumping in her throat from the moment she saw Captain Kang inside her father's secret passageway.

Jin promised to help her but he betrayed her and now she is aware of that.

"Oh but he did. All of them did. They were not even on your side from the beginn--"

"Stop!" She shouts. "Just stop!" Her hands were shaking, her eyes had welled up with tears, yet she did not let him see her weakness.

She did not want to give him the satisfaction of seeing her breaking down.

Captain Kang grumbles. "Oh well. You have none to be with. They all are gone now and now....it is your turn."

She snaps her head up at him.

Is he going to kill her?

"What? I am doing you a favour. You will meet your papa up there soon." The Captain grins before turning and ordering out his sailors with a booming voice.

"Take out the plank. Our princess is going to walk to meet her death."

Order was said and every sailor got to their work, yelling out to their fellow sailors as they ready her death.

Y/n just stares at him with shock and horror but at the same time she displays a visage of pure hatred.

Is this the end? Is he going to kill her without telling her the reason?

He had already killed her parents and now, she is going to die without knowing the reason of her death.

But yet in some ways, he was completely right.

She’s alone.

Everyone she knew had left her. Their words and friendship were never genuine not even one bit.

She was a lone woman. How will she even get her revenge if she didn’t manage to get out of here?

Lost deep in thoughts, she did not realize how she ended up standing on the edge of the deck, a small plank now in front of her.

She glanced down at the deep blue sea water, waiting to swallow her whole.

Nothing more had scared her than the sea itself.

She had always run away from the ocean. Who knew she would end up dying inside of it?

She took a step further towards the plank, ignoring the whistles and wolf calls from the sailors behind her.

she breaths out, letting the wind wipe past her hair as she stares at the setting sun that was accompanied with light shades of orange.

She took another shaky step, her hands bound to each other with a rope.

'This is the end.'

Her ears suddenly buzzed, feeling the hot air furiously whipping behind her.

Her whole world shakes. She stumbles on her toes as she hears a sailor scream out behind her.

"Captain!! We've been attacked!"

Everything turns into a sudden chaotic mess, hearing shouts and panic people falling out of the deck to the ocean to save their lives, yet she stays frozen in her place.

"He's here! The king of the Seven Seas is here!"

She slowly turns around at the blabbering words of the sailors and a gasp leaves past her lips.

Right before her, stood a ship so giant that it was combined with almost three of the current ship she was in.

Darkness radiated off of the whole ship, and what scared her more was the black flag that swayed from on top of the mast, carrying a skull that looked too real to be called a drawn one.

She was not the one who has walked to her death now. The death has walked up to her.

She stood there absolutely shocked, her legs carrying all her weight on the plank as she stared up at the ship that was intimidatingly hovering over King Kang's ship.

Sailors and guards were panicking, some deciding to jump off of the ship to survive, while some decided to not run away from the battlefield by staying inside the ship.

Y/n felt a hand latching onto her wrist before the figure pulled her down from the plank.

Her first instinct was to fight against the hold of the unknown, trying to jerk her body away. "Let me go!"

The male pulled her closer and shushed her. "Stop fighting. I'm trying to save you.”

This was said and the female began to feel a tiny bit calmer as she looked up at the unknown male.

He was broad, giant even. And she couldn’t deny the fact that he was breathtaking either. His fit was as clean as freshly new washed cloths while he sternly stared down at her.

"Come with me." The male mumbled, before pulling her with him.

Y/n stared at his back as she was blankly carried away.

He's one of King Kang's men.

Why is he helping her?

She opened her mouth to question his act of kindness when all of a sudden, a booming voice halts her.

"Captain Kang." It was a mischievous call causing Y/n to turn her head towards the source.

Her steps slowed down slightly when her eyes land upon a man leaning on the shrouds of the other ship.

His clothing was definitely that of a pirate, figure lean and big as he playfully swung the sword around his hand.

"What do you want, Captain Park?" Kang spat out, his shoulders hunched as he glared up at the young looking male.

'Captain Park!!'

Y/n's eyes widens, looking up at the handsome looking male who was smirking.

"No hate. You just have something precious of mine." Captain Park speaks, twirling his body skillfully around the rope of the shroud without fear of falling down into the sea. "And I'm here to get it back."

The unknown male suddenly picks up his pace, dragging Y/n away, pulling her towards somewhere she was not aware of.

"Where are you taking me?" She questioned, her eyes not pulling away from Captain Park.

"You have to leave.” The male states, making her turn to him.

"What?"

He stopped and turned his head to her. "Try to understand, young lady. This place is not safe for you anymore."

"Yeah and when was it ever safe for me in the first place." She sarcastically spoke out.

The male sighs out of irritation. "Look, at least Captain Kang gave you permission to die, Captain Park over there would not even do that."

With that, he started to pull her away again.

Y/n dropped her shoulders and turned around to glance at the newly entered Captain again, but to no avail, she could not see him anymore as she now was too far away.

The male came to a stop in front of a small hanging ship and worked to bring it down to the wooden ground of the deck.

Y/n stared at him, wondering as to why he, a man of King Kang, who was for an unknown reason trying to kill her, was helping her out.

The ship hit the ground with a thud and the male worked to push it out of the deck, so that he could easily pull it down to the sea once she got in.

He then turned towards her and ordered. "Get in."

Y/n blinked at him before speaking up. "Why are you helping me?"

The male stared back at her for a second before turning his head away. "That I can not tell you."

Y/n frowned before taking a step towards him. "What is your name then?"

The male released a breath and approached her. He then grabbed a hold of her waist and without any difficulty, he raised her small figure and put her inside the small ship.

Y/n tried to hide her shock at his sudden act and pulled her legs inside the ship and pursed her lips at his absence of an answer.

"You would be able to successfully escape if you continue South, there is a town on that side. Find a safe shelter there and please stay hidden. Captain Kang would not give up on finding you, especially if Captain Park decides to sink this ship."

Y/n stared at him in disbelief. All she asked was his name and his motive in helping her and he replied with everything except the answer of the question she had asked him.

"You are unbelievable!"

The male, for the first time, chuckled out, the stern crease of his brow turning up in amusement as a dimple introduced itself in one of his cheeks.

"Stay safe." He spoke out, slowly pulling on the rope and Y/n felt herself moving down as the ship drifted out from Captain Kang's ship. "And it's Kim Namjoon."

He finally answered her question and a small smile welcomes Y/n's features.

"Thank you, Kim Namjoon." She beamed before he slowly disappeared from her sight.

She grabbed a hold of the side of the small boat, feeling it slowly hitting the waves of the sea beneath her.

Her heart skipped a beat as the scent of the ocean and freedom filled her senses, the waves drifting her further away from the two large ships.

"Where's the girl?" Her shoulders immediately tense up when she hears the angered voice of Captain Park echoing throughout the sea and she swore she heard the sea beneath her growling too.

As if the sea was also a part of him.

She looked back at the two ships that were facing each other and found them pretty far away from her as her boat hurriedly drifted away from them.

She sighed out and dropped her shoulders in relief as the ocean took her towards the South.

She escaped.

She managed to escape from two of the most well-known pirates without a single wound.

But this meant she now knew that she was no longer safe.

The captain of the enormous ship nibbled at the bottle of rum as he stared out at the sea that danced for him in the form of waves.

"I say you do not take much concern, ey captain."

A voice speaks out behind him and the male grunts.

"He took what belongs to me. And he had the nerve to lie." The male spat out before gulping down the rum in his hand.

The sailor let out a sigh behind him. "But captain, even you are aware that captain Kang never lies."

This makes the captain snap his head back at his sailor. "Then why did he abduct her? And where is she now?"

The sailor dropped his shoulders. "We looked through the whole ship. Her presence was not there."

"Then where is she?" The captain mumbles, sounding like all chances are gone.

His sailor bit his lip, concern displayed in his eyes.

The king of seven seas was never hopeless.

He had hope on his side.

He had power in him.

This was the first for him and all of them.

"Captain Park.." The loyal sailor calls slowly and carefully. "I have a feeling that she has escaped to sea. She might still be in the ocean."

Captain Park lets his words go through his mind and a silence clouds upon them.

How was he so late on getting there?

How did she manage to escape and how did he not notice?

All of this was a mystery to him and he could not help but let a lump of anger build into his throat.

"It seems like a storm will form." The sailor behind him mumbled and the captain looked up at “his” ocean.

The waves rolled against each other and the sky was dark, not a single star nor the moon in sight as they were covered with the dominance of dark clouds.

His ocean hair flying back with the wind as he mumbled out.

"I will let you take control then." He calls out to the waves. "Take care of her like you take care of your sunken ships."

Y/n coughed, her lungs stretching with the force of her throat inhaling the air that was hesitating to enter her body.

She raised her head slowly, her eyes blurry from all the water and sand that has entered through her eyelids.

A groan leaves past her lips when she feels her head spinning, her body slightly yet painfully numb.

With much difficulty, she sits up and blinks a few times to clear her vision.

The cold wind runs past her figure, goosebumps raising over her skin.

She looks down at her attire and finds it wet with sea water, sand sticking to many parts of her clothes and legs like glue.

She reaches out and dusts off some of the sand, looking up towards the sea that had just oh-so-carefully led her towards the seaside.

She pulled her hair back by brushing a hand through it and tried to remember all that happened last night.

It was something unusual.

She remembered it clearly.

The forming of a big bubble around her body when she was slowly drowning in the vast sea due to the storm.

The fact that she could breathe inside the unusual water bubble.

The fact that it took her safely towards the South after she almost drowned was even more unusual.

She dusted off the sand from her elbow and stood up, all the while feeling the silk of her dress soaked.

She walked up towards the seashore and bent down to wash her legs and hands.

"A survivor, huh."

She flinches and immediately turns her head behind at the playful voice and wanders her eyes to spot the individual.

With no luck, she finds no one behind her.

"And a woman at that." The individual who seems to be a male speaks again and she directs her gaze up at the abandon broken ship that was resting on the right side of the shore, right before an enormous mountain.

Her eyes catch a figure leaning on one of the broken masts of the ship causing her to take a step back.

Her eyes narrow at his carefree figure and he smiles at her. "Huh?"

"You survived the storm last night. Are you not just a lucky woman, ey!" He chuckles, rounding the mast almost resembling what Captain Park did yesterday.

She pursed her lips and stared at his attire. "Some people are really fortunate sometimes."

The male nods and jumps down to the ground from the edge of the hull. "Indeed. The sea took your side."

"Is this the South?" She asks, looking around at the area that seemed to only have a heavy green forest and mountains on it's lands.

The male ambles towards her slowly. "It is."

She nods. "I am lucky enough then."

She then turns to him, all the while keeping her senses high. "Who are you?"

The male tilts his head to the side. "Curious i see."

Y/n resists the urge to roll her eyes and waits for him to answer her properly.

"I'm Kim Taehyung, a mighty sailor." He takes off his hat and bends down to introduce himself.

Y/n nods, keeping her distance.

"And may i have the grace of knowing this beautiful lady’s name?" He questions, putting his hat back on.

The female hesitates before speaking. "It is Y/n."

She does not tell him too much and that seems to satisfy the male enough as he nods.

"Well..my lady, it is lovely to be in your presence. And as you have landed in this area, let a great sailor like me lead you inside this hidden island."

'Hidden?'

Y/n furrowed her brows at his words as she turns towards the deep forest.

A gasp leaves her lips when she no longer finds the greenery born there.

It was replaced with lots of homes and life as many people continued their tasks and conversations with no sign of any threats nearby.

"Welcome to the hidden heart of Korea"

Y/n's eyes widen as she stared at the many males and females wandering around the small town-like civilization, carefree, seeming to be living there life to the fullest.

"Ya like this place, my lady?" Taehyung grins proudly, hands placed over his hips as he stared at the place like it was his creation.

Y/n nods in awe, her mouth parting as she starts to amble towards the town, her curiosity taking over.

The male smirked and followed behind her.

"If you do not mind me questioning, what brought you here?"

Y/n blinked out of her daze, stepping in the town as she peeked around everything. "The waves."

Taehyung sighed, pursing his lips. "Of course, what else!"

Y/n nods, disregarding his sarcastic words as she continues to walk further inside, still in awe.

Who would have known that a whole established town could be found behind an abundant forest.

"This place is huge." She spoke, picking up an almond sample that was displayed outside a street shop and popping it inside her mouth.

Taehyung hums, imitating her actions, however, his sample consisted of a whole fistful of almonds. "It is called the heart of Korea for a reason."

Y/n furrowed her brows and turned to him. "Then why is this place hidden? It should be out there for people to admire."

Taehyung smiles, stepping closer to her. "A heart should always be hidden. If it is attacked, it can stop beating and it will die."

Y/n held her breath, staring at his face that was now closer to hers.

She breathes out when the male smiles and steps away from her.

He starts to walk away and she hurriedly turns to him. "Wait! Then how do you know this place?"

"This island only brings those who it has chosen itself. You and I are one of them." The male explains, walking, all the while sensing the female following after him.

'But someone else lead me here...'

She ran up to him, deciding not to tell him about how exactly she had gotten to this wondrous place .

"How long have you been here?" She questions, her hands fisting up her dress as she tries to pick up his long strides.

"Long enough to know where the treasure is hidden." He mumbles, the smile never leaving his lips.

He stops in his tracks and turns his head around when he feels the female halting her steps.

He raises his brows in amusement when he reads the confusion written all over her face. "Do not worry yourself. It is nothing important."

Y/n dropped her shoulders. "How will I get around here? I am not even familiar with this place."

"Oh ya!" The male speaks out. "Do not be concerned. You have me." He grinned.

The female just stares at him, her gaze not even in the slightest showing any sort of trust in him.

Her expression made him narrow his eyes at her, betrayal plastered all over his face. "I am the first person you’ve met. You have to trust me more than anyone here."

"Look!" She tries to avoid his gaze. "I have not experienced good happenings these past few days. All I need is a safe place to stay." She gave up, feeling even ashamed to be asking for help.

The male pursed his lips, nodding. "You will be safe with me. I have the best place."

Y/n grinds her teeth as she glares at Taehyung in annoyance, her figure hidden away in the far corner from everyone's notice.

The male was standing away from her, two skinny females accompanying his sides as they openly flirt with each other.

Drunk people surrounded her, gulping down their rum in big gulps while not even caring about their well-being.

That bastard had brought her to a rum bar that was obviously not legal nor registered.

Taehyung catches her eye and he grins at her, immediately stepping back when he felt the hot, lava-like stare thrown his way.

Y/n watched as he bid both the females goodbye before ambling his way off.

She narrowed her eyes further and crossed her arms over her chest, her foot patting the ground as she waited for him to walk over to her.

"How ya like this place?" He grins and Y/n feels her eye twitch.

"Very much. This place will be a great area to bury your body." She spits and he flinches.

"Why? Are you jealous? Those ravishing women meant nothing to me."

"I am going to kick you between your legs so hard, you will stay childless forever."

The male scrunched his face, his hands cupping his precious between his legs. "Who would have thought that such a fragile woman like you would be this violent."

Y/n rolled her eyes. "Please get me out of here. I do not like this even in the slightest bit."

The male straightens his back. "I guess you do not like this place like I thought you would. I have to take you somewhere.." He suddenly steps closer to her. "Magical."

She flinched back, her back hitting the wall and she stares at Taehyung with wide eyes.

"What is with you suddenly stepping in my space?"

Taehyung pulls away slightly and smirks. "What is with you looking so irresistible all the time?"

Y/n scrunches her nose. "I was not joking when I said I will hit you somewhere."

"Okay." The male speaks, stepping away from her for his own good.

Y/n scoffs, pulling her back away from the wall. "Where are you taking me?"

"Like i said." The male turns around and looks over his shoulder. "Somewhere magical."

He starts to walk away and the female hurriedly picks up her pace behind him.

"It better be safe."

The male smirks. "Oh it is."

'Especially for you.'

---

The male jerked open the wooden portal and pushed the non-living object aside to enter the residence.

He kicks away the small log in front of the entrance and turns towards the female standing behind him.

"After you, my lady." He bows down slightly on his side, his hands displayed in front of her in a royal manner.

Y/n looked over the small, hut-like residence before placing a foot over the step, her hand gripping the night dress she had been wearing since the attack closer to her body.

She could no longer feel the wet fabric, but the cold that came after, like an unwelcomed friend was sending chills down her spine.

She hurriedly yet carefully entered the residence and immediately looked around the inside for hidden dangers.

Once finding none in the entrance, she turned and waited for the male to enter the place too.

Taehyung raised his eyebrows in amusement and freely ambles his presence next to her and further inside.

The female follows after him, oh-so-thankful for the gown that was draped around her body, on top of her night dress.

She could feel her skin eating up the silk as each second passed by.

Could she ask Taehyung for something to wear?

She knew that was embarrassing and he probably had no female clothes, or if that was just what she thought?

He was, after all, a pervert.

She swallowed her pride, parting her lips for her request. "Do you perhaps--"

Cutting her own sentence short, she whipped her head back towards the way she came in.

She swore she just heard a thud.

Her eyes trailed over to the door and her eyebrows immediately furrowed.

The door....it was closed. She does not remember closing it when she followed after Taehyung.

She stands there for a second, her eyes starting to waver as she looks around everywhere.

"My precious, please come inside. I have something for your grace." Taehyung’s voice came from the open area inside the residence and Y/n was immediately snapped out of her train of thoughts.

She blinks.

'It could be the wind..' She said, convincing herself.

'Or some kid who closed it from outside..' She tried calming herself down.

At this point, she knew she should not trust anyone. Especially not with what just happened to her.

But she could not help but feel a little bit safe with Taehyung.

She didn’t know what that meant. Maybe it was the sweet scent he carried around with him.

She quickly discarded everything in her head and took her steps towards the area where the male was.

She entered the small area and looked around. Three to four logs were placed in the middle of the chamber, resembling a dining table and chairs, a poorly built fireplace was born in the corner where Taehyung was now forming the fire.

Y/n sighed out and entered the chamber fully, her first priority being the fireplace to get some sort of warmth soaking into her skin.

Taehyung chuckles when he spots her and continues to throw in small pieces of wood inside the burning fire.

"You must be cold. I have taken out some clothes for you." The male points towards the attire placed on one of the logs.

Y/n looks at the clothes before walking towards them.

She picked up the white shirt and the baggy pants, she had seen many sailors wear whenever they had come to visit the seaside of her father's kingdom. The attire was also accompanied by long leather boats, a small coat to wear over the white shirt, and a feminine pirate hat.

She raised her brows and turned towards the male who was sitting down on one of his knees, hands and mind busy firing the fireplace.

"No female clothes?" She voices out, grabbing his attention.

The male hums. "I may look like a manwhore.." Saying that, he turns his head to her and continues. "But i am not."

Y/n's eyes brighten with amusement before a giggle leaves past her lips. "Who could have thought."

She locked her gaze with his and her expression turned into a confused one when she found him staring at her with wide eyes.

"Woah!" He awes. "This is the first time I have seen you smile." His eyes were dazed, glazed over even, openly expressing how the smallest act from her has affected him.

He could not help it, she was beautiful.

"Trust me when i tell you, this is the first time I have let out a smile in days." She speaks, her eyes directing downwards towards the shirt in her hand as she recalls the state she was in right now.

From a royal chamber room, she was now in an island she did not know even exited, let alone being taken away by King Kang and going through a dangerous storm.

The amount of days in between all these happenings was less than the days she had to breathe happily with her parents when she was young.

"Really? So am I the cause of those heavenly dimples that have decided to greet me in the prettiest of the way?" Taehyung grins, eyes holding pride.

Y/n looked up. "You are. Thank you, Kim Taehyung." She smiles genuinely at him.

If it wasn’t for him, she would still have been wandering around this confusing island.

If she can not trust him completely, she can at least thank him.

Taehyung nods and turns his head back towards the fireplace, hiding away the pink that was now dusting his cheeks. "There is a chamber upstairs. You can change your attire and take a bath if you want."

Y/n hums and glances at the stairs that led the individuals upstairs.

She hesitates but decides to amble towards them anyways.

"Do not feel like a burden and call me if you need any help." He teases.

"You know how much of a gentleman i am-- Wow wow!! I am sorry. I am sorry." The male squeals, falling on his butt while dodging the frames the female throws his way.

"Good ocean! That is violent, woman."

"Think before you speak then." Y/n grumbles back from the stairs.

"I can not help it." The male mumbles, before grinning. "You are too irresistible."

However, the grin on his face immediately melts away like a fragile chunk of ice when the female is out of sight.

"And I am sorry for what will soon happened..."

Y/n buttoned up the black coat and placed the pirate hat over her head.

She looked herself over and sighed out.

At this rate, she looked like one of those female pirates she had always looked up to.

And did she like it?

Oh yes she does.

But does she dislike it too?

Of course.

She was used to wearing dresses, being comfortable in clothing she had never worn is a bit hard.

But at least she is warmer and the clothes are a bit too big on her so it is not too revealing.

She opens the portal of the chamber and skips out of the room.

Walking towards the stairs to go down, her footsteps halt when she hears some mumbling downstairs.

She would have thought that it was Taehyung but there were many of them murmuring together, clearly indicating that there were more individuals here.

Her eyes narrow slightly in confusion and she takes a step back.

No! Taehyung did not look like someone who would betray her.

But then again, so did Jin and she had trusted him.

"Please do not be it.." She silently pleads, backing away.

Her figure did not allow her further access as it was stopped by a firm block.

A breathing block.

Her eyes immediately widen at the warm breath over her neck and before she could pull away, an arm suddenly wraps around her and pulls her in.

"Got ya!"

Y/n's eyes widen in horror and she immediately pushes forward to escape the arm that is keeping her still.

But to no avail, she was soon jerked back into the arms of the male and her shoulders immediately tense up when the unknown male moves his mouth closer to her ear.

"I can not let you run away, not again."

Y/n let out a shaky breath and moved her head to the other side so that he could not force her into something she did not want to do.

She was scared.

She didn’t have a single idea as to who this male was, but the tease and tone in his voice somehow reminded her of a familiar voice she had heard before.

"Let me go." She ordered, yet her voice completely gave away her fear.

The male behind her chuckles, his hot breath brushing against her hair. "If i had the intention of letting you go. I would not have caught you from the beginning."

Y/n starts to wiggle in his arms, doing her best to remove them from around her.

By the much hard work she had put into her escape, the male strangely lets her go.

Y/n does not question her sudden release and runs towards the staircase and towards her freedom.

In just some steps in, her curiosity hits her and she turns around to look at her capturer, only to be left frozen for a few seconds.

Captain Park.

It was him. He was there.

And what makes it much worse is that he had let her escape that easily while watching her with amusement filling his eyes.

That’s because he knew he will always catch her anyways.

The female fastened her pace and hurriedly walked down the remaining steps.

She however, halts her steps when her eyes land on the many figures that are standing around the open area of the chamber where Taehyung very was, or more like the whole place.

They all turn to look at her but her eyes only direct towards Taehyung who’s eyes immediately flash with guilt.

And that is when she gives up.

How would she not?

The sailors were everywhere around the residence and the calmness in the male upstairs showed how easy it was to find her, even if she escaped.

So with much regret, she drops her shoulders and grumply drags her steps towards them.

Walking in between the many sailors who could simply not just stop staring at her like she was a three course meal, she comes to a stop in front of the only male she knew.

The steps run down the stairs of Taehyung's residence and soon enters the one and only, the Captain himself.

His posture was carefree like it was the last time, a smile tugged on his lips like a daily act as he walked in further inside the chamber.

Y/n slowly shrinks back at his presence, the mischievous era she felt around him was the opposite of what he had displayed.

He looked and smelled like a living dark nightmare.

Or it could just be the fact that he was the king of the seven seas.

"My mermaid, i am the king of the seven seas, Park Jimin." The male’s broad shoulders bow down at her with the posture of a prince, his pirate hat held in his hand in respect.

Y/n bites her lips and takes a step back.

It is still not too late right?

She could escape if she wanted.

Scratch what she said earlier. She might still have a chance.

The male straightens his back and smirks at the confusion written all over her pretty features.

"What do you want from me..?" She mumbles, her eyes searching for a route to escape towards the door.

"Oh you will know soon. Taehyung!" Jimin calls and the sailor hums. "Tell the pretty

lady what she is here for."

Taehyung caught her eyes and opens his mouth. "There is an important reason for you to be here, precious."

"Stop." She furrowed her brows and stared at him straight in the eyes. "I do not really want to know."

With that said, she backs away and makes a run towards the door by a small gap between the sailors.

No one runs after her but she still continues to look for the last string of hope.

That, however also breaks the moment she witnesses the many giant sailors that guard the entrance portal.

Y/n comes to a stop and annoyance immediately attacks her nerves.

Well now the giving up statement officially comes to her.

'There is no way out.'

With much more grumpiness, she turns back on her heels and stomps them towards the open area where she just came from again.

Hands crossed over her chest and face scrunched up in an angry pout, she walks back from in between the many sailors and comes to a halt in the same place she was just standing on.

Two of the males smile at her mood and an adoration filled chuckle leaves from one of the cheerful looking sailors that stood right behind Jimin.

She glares at him before turning to Taehyung again. "Shoot!" She angrily orders.

The male nods while taking a step towards Jimin's back to protect himself from the daggers the female was currently throwing at him. "Yeah... Captain is connected to you in a deep relation."

Jimin’s smile widens at the confusion that immediately flashed through her eyes and before he knew it, the anger lingering so adorably in her features is completely replaced with confusion in a short spam of time.

"What do you mean?" She tilts her head to the side in pure curiosity and the king of the seven seas had to stop the sudden urge to just scoop her in his arms.

He just could not stop staring at her.

How long has it been since he had started craving her? He does not remember.

All he knows is that she is here now, right in front of his eyes.

"My precious.... He is your fiancé." Taehyung informs slowly and quietly and the female's eyes widens.

"You are joking, right?" Y/n questions in disbelief and passes a glance at Jimin which clearly displayed horror.

'This can not be. He is lying!'

"He is not." Jimin speaks up, his expressions nowhere near playful now. "Your father has connected us together since young. You belong to me."

The demand and power in his voice shakes her to her pulp and her eyes start to shake in fear.

"What?..." She whispers, feeling like the ground has been jerked away from underneath her feet.

How is it him? Why is it him?

She had heard so much about him. The stories of him mercilessly killing half the legal and illegal pirates without a single breath sent chills down her spine.

They say he never stops. There isn't a single place where he has stayed more than a few hours.

There were even books written about him. The royal guards from all over the seven shores were after him yet no one had even laid a single finger on him.

And now she is stuck with him, over something her father had agreed to when he was still alive.

But it can also not be true. How is she supposed to believe him just like that?

As if reading her mind, Jimin answers. "There is more than given proof."

"Where are the given ones then?" She spits back, gaining some of the confidence but that soon disappears when he steps closer to her.

"That is what we have to find out. Right now, you are coming with me. I can not leave you here for more danger." The male orders and steps closer to her, all the while watching the female back away from him.

The female crouched her shoulders up to her ear and mumbles out. "What if i do not want to."

The male smiles at her small figure. "Then you know what bad girls get. You are going to be a good girl, right.”

Her mouth turns into an offended pout and she directs her eyes down at his shoulder, her body fluttering in embarrassment at his inappropriate words.

Like hell she will let him touch her.

She might be afraid of him but she will not let him do anything to her.

She straightens her back and glanced up at him before looking behind him, Taehyung's eyes linking with hers.

It's all his fault.

She just can not leave without doing something.

She walks past her so called fiancé and steps in front of the sailor and looks up at him.

Taehyung stares back, the mischief and perverted-ness far gone from his figure and that makes the female even more angrier.

Raising her hand in the air, she slaps it right across his cheek.

The male immediately reacts by wincing out. "Auch! Goddamn woman."

"This is what you get for betraying me." Y/n mumbles before turning around and walking off outside the residence.

"Let us go now."

Jimin stares at her in awe as she walks off before throwing his head back in a humorous laughter.

---

Y/n stared at the many sailors who ready the ship for another round around the sea to god knows where.

She was standing on the deck, fear lumping in her throat as she slowly plots out all the scenarios where she might get killed.

She would have never gone with The King of The Sea if she was not to be alone.

But that is exactly what she was at the moment.

She is lonely and she does not have the protection around her nor over her head.

If Taehyung was kind enough to take her to his residence, offer her his attire, then he would not hurt her, right?

Sailors carried their duffles inside the ship, some cleaning the ship by scrubbing holystones in the logs. Some looked after the ropes and the shrouds while some took care of the long masts and sails that are used to change directions of the giant ship.

Everyone was busy, even Captain Park who took part in helping his sailors.

Y/n just watched from afar, no one daring to even pass her a glance after finding out who she actually was, especially to their captain.

"Do you not think you were a little bit too harsh on Taehyung?" The voice of the male brings her back from her chain of thoughts and she immediately turns to look at who it was.

The cheerful looking male who was always stuck to the captain's side grins at her, proudly showing off his gums and the many teeth that have turned black from the lack of care.

Y/n frowns when his words reach her, causing her to look away. "He deserved it."

The male nods, stepping by her side. "He does, but he did help you."

The male points out and the female turns her head to him. "He also helped his captain by informing him my location."

The male stares at her with his usual doe eyes before he directs them over his shoulders to something. "Well...."

Y/n follows the direction of his eyes and her gaze immediately finds the fluffy brown hair of Taehyung.

The male was leaning his back on one of the cannons, figure small and head hung low, his mouth was in a pout like a small sulky child and regret immediately starts to swell her up.

She looks away before the feeling could fully swallow her and she soon looks out at the sailors who were working.

"Taehyung never had the intention of hurting you. Actually, if it weren’t for him, you would not even be breathing right now." The male further breaks the walls around her and succeeds when the guilt she was running away from catches up to her quick, swallowing her into its mud.

She huffs and puffs and crosses her arms over her chest, resisting the urge to just turn around and run away from everything that surrounds her.

The male chuckles at her when he notices the change of her mood. "You are adorable."

She snaps her eyes up and narrows them at him. She fully looks him through before turning around and walking towards the sulking male.

Taehyung rubs his fingers over his cheeks which have just been slapped and he lets out another whine.

He had been slapped thousands of time by all the females he had slept with, but not once has he felt this hurt.

He flinched slightly when y/n’s figure comes to stand next to him and he glances at her from under his overgrown tips of hair.

"I am sorry." He apologizes, voicing a whisper.

"Do not be." She waves her fingers at him. "It was your job, besides, i would not even be here if it was not for you."

Taehyung feels her lean on another cannon next to him and nods slowly. "Indeed. I was lucky enough to find you first. The pirate world is not that safe, you see."

Y/n scoffs. "I know that. But you saved me."

She knew really well how messed up this world was. She had been through so much in just a spam of one day.

Taehyung shakes his head. "I did not. He did." He states, pointing his gaze up at the quarterdeck where the wheel of the ship was.

Y/n follows his direction and her eyes land on the figure of the one and only captain of the ship who was looking through some kind of map.

"We were just on our way to get you from your kingdom." Taehyung starts explaining. "But we turned the ship to the other side the moment we heard about your abduction done by Captain kang."

Y/n tears her eyes away from the captain and questions him. "Why were you coming to get me?"

"Cause it is time for you to be beside the captain. It is time for you both to bond. That is what was decided." Taehyung explains the situation, leaving the female even more confused.

"Why would they even bond us together?" The female takes off the pirate hat she was wearing and rakes a hand through her hair.

"That is something I can not tell you, my precious. Captain Park knows best in that matter." Taehyung watched her from the side, his gaze lingering over her long soft looking brown hair to the distressed look on her face.

"He got so furious." He whispers, the scene fresh to his eyes.

When the female turns to him in question, he can not help but continue. "When captain heard about what Captain Kang had done, he had immediately ordered to get you back. Though it is highly hard to understand how you escaped from there."

Y/n stared at him for a second, the familiar face of the male who had helped her escape popping in her mind instantly "It was just a coincidence. Luck was on my side."

'Kim Namjoon.'

She recalls in her head. She could never forget him. The generosity he had shown to her even when he looked like an important individual of Captain Kang was even more to take in.

He actually looked kind and gentle in between all the wolves that surrounded him.

Taehyung nods. "However, you will gain answers to all your questions from the captain himself. He will not say everything but enough to erase all your curiosity."

"You will stay here." The male shows the female around the chamber.

"Who's cabin is this?" She questions, trailing her eyes everywhere around the wooden walls and the simply decorated chamber as she placed herself on the edge of the mattress.

The male grins from behind her. "It belongs to the captain."

Y/n instantly sprung up from the bed, eyes staring shocked at the male who bursted into a humorous laughter.

Her eyes glares at him. "It is not that funny."

"Oh but it is." The male controls his amusement and placed a hand on his hip in a call for some sanity.

"Where would your captain sleep?...Um" Y/n trails off at the end of the sentence when she could not recall the male's name.

'What was it again?'

"Jung Hoseok. And do not worry. You will soon get to sleep with him." Hoseok wiggles his eyebrows at her and the female's jaw almost drops to the floor.

Pink furiously tints her cheeks and she stutters out a threat. "Say that one more time and you will see what will happen to you."

Hoseok immediately takes a step back and puts his hands in front of him in surrender. "Calm down, little tiger. I am just joking." He puts on a horrified expression but his fake fear was as clear as crystal.

"You better be. Now leave please." She rolls her eyes and turns around to look around the whole room.

"As you say, my lady. You can request the captain's presence if you feel lonely. He will come running right awa---"

Cut off by an object thrown his way, the male immediately closes the door behind him to prevent getting hit by the boot that is violently gifted to him by the female.

Y/n sat up from the bed she had been laying on and her eyes trailed over all the objects that accompanied her.

The room looked expensive. Many rolled maps were resting on the big shelf on the right. Small figurines of ships and guards were placed in a small working area in the corner and a treasure box was resting next to it.

The room smelt like the woods and the sea.

She hung her legs from the side of the mattress and carefully got down from the bed which was quite high up.

She walked up to the small work place and looked down at the map that was sprawled next to more small figurines.

Her delicate fingers trail over the small lines on the map and her hand immediately jerks back when the lines and waves drawn in the map start moving.

Her lips part in awe at the scene before her, the waves made it look like she was watching them sway with each other in real life. Another spot, more south on the map was swirling with black, imitating a storm that seemed to be currently going on over the said area.

Another big ship swayed in the middle, looking all familiar, tall and black.

Small writings were written over it in italic, reading Black Pearl.

The ship looked familiar to the one that appeared before Captain Kang's ship the other day. The ship Captain Park was in.

The ship she was now present on.

Her eyes widen.

She was in the well-known Black Pearl.

The ship that speaks. The only ship with black sails.

The one that does not tolerate a single outcomer inside of it. The one which had been there since the beginning.

She was now inside of it and it had not done anything to kick her out.

As much as she had heard, the ship does not like it when someone who is not related to it rides it.

The cursed ship, as many say, will do anything to not let any unknown individual step even a foot on its ground.

And here she is, laying around in its bed.

She backed away from the table and turned towards the portal of Captain Park's chamber.

She creaked open the door and looked around the area.

Only the wind stared back at her alongside the night sky because there were no breathing individuals around.

Seeing that, she took a step outside of the four wood walls and in an instant a soft breath leaves her when the wind encloses her body in a gentle touch.

She really misses being free.

Her eyes trail around to make sure no one is in sight and when it is confirmed that no one is, she lets her tense shoulders drop.

The waves were black due to the dark night and she suddenly had the urge to look out at the deck.

'If you want to know the sea, communicate with it from over the edge.'

Jin's words recall in her mind and she scrunches her nose when his face wipes past her mind.

Moreover, she still listens and turns to the small stairs that will take her to the quarterdeck where the edge of the ship and the wheel stand.

She climbed up the stairs, keeping her steps low and soft to prevent her weight from waking the wood up. Its whining out and its creaking causing someone to hear is the last thing she wanted right now.

She carefully walked up the narrow stairs and halts her steps the moment her eyes look up.

Hair as blue and gray as the sea, the owner of the ship himself sat on the edge with his legs that seemed to be dangling off of the ship.

His back faced her and she instantly took in the relaxation of his shoulders and the silent aura around his giant figure.

She stared at him for a minute as the moon smiled upon him, his hair and attire softly swaying with the wind.

'He is beautiful.'

Her own sudden thought snapped her out of her daze, making her blink many times.

She silently took a step back to walk away, but of course the wood underneath her seemed to be having other thoughts as it finally screamed out a creak at the movement of her boots.

She flinches and Jimin calmly looks over his shoulder.

Her body tenses up and she is soon speechless the moment her eyes links with his.

Everything halts as his amber eyes take in her everything, flickering with what seems to be specks of silver.

"You are finally out, mermaid." He speaks softly and her breath hitched in her throat.

Why did she feel like this?

Why did he still look so intimidating when his aura at the moment was the complete opposite?

Her eyes waver away from him, as she was trying to look everywhere but him. She stutters out. "I-I will leave you alone."

She took another step back but was soon stopped by the captain when he spoke. "Do not go... come here. I will show you something."

She bit her lip and glanced up at him, her heart drumming in her chest at a fast rate as she thought about all the scenarios of her standing next to him.

She does not deny his offer, simply because she did not have a death wish. She slowly walked up to the edge.

In the end, she still wanted to look out at the ocean.

Jimin stood there silent and calm, watching her very hesitant steps as she moved closer to him.

Closer to him.

How long had he wanted just that? How long had he craved to steal just a single glance at her beauty he had heard about all his life?

How much did he feel the need to pull her small figure closer to him? How much did he want so badly to make her his?

He simply didn’t remember nor did he know, all he knows is that all he wants to do is to shout out to the whole world that he had found his treasure. He didn’t need gold or secret gems. He had found his diamond. His mermaid.

He was beyond whipped.

She came to a stop away from him and that made the captain smile.

He shifted his dangling legs inside the deck and jumped down from the edge.

Y/n tensed up even more as he stepped in closer to her.

"You are going to love this." He mumbled and without a single second slipping by, he reached his hands out towards her delicate waist and pulled her figure up from the ground without any difficulty.

A soft yelp left past Y/n's lips as she was manhandled into sitting on the edge in just a spam of a second.

She snaps her eyes up at him in horror and stops the urge to scream when she finds a huge grin brightening his features.

"Oh god.." She mumbles and removes her hands from around his shoulders that fisted his shirt.

Jimin bites his lips to stop himself from grinning too wide as his hands oh so hesitantly moves away from her waist.

Only he knows how much he wanted to just pull her into him right now.

Y/n breaks the eye contact and Jimin helps her turn her body around by grabbing her legs and gently shifting them on the other side.

"What if we fall?" She mumbles in between to herself, settling herself properly in her place.

"I would not let that happened." He replies back in a mumble and she looks up, only for her eyes to instantly turn wide.

A gasp leaves her lips as she now stares at the scenery before her.

The sea was calm, small diamond like pearls were floating in it, shining like little swaying stars. The sky mimics the action in its own, beautiful way. Soon,

creatures had rose from inside the waves, hair pushed back because of the force of the water, containing a body that was familiar to a human as they sung a melody all together.

They were mermaids.

She watched them in awe, observing the beauty of each detail in every creature.

The release of a firework was then heard and she immediately looked up at the straight tail of fire and before she knew it, it bursted, decorating the sky with many beautiful colors.

Jimin then, steps behind her and whispers in her ear. "A new year has begun and I am glad I have you next to me this time."

And then she heard all the sailors and guards scream out a happy new year.

Y/n stared at the scene before her as she continued to feel the breath of the male right behind her.

If she was not in such an awe and daze, she would have shrunk back from his close proximity.

Jimin stared down at her shoulder till the small of her back. The white oversized shirt made her look adorable, the sleeves were long, passing her fingers and going further down.

The feeling would have been a lot better if it was his attire, but there was a bitter lump in his throat because he was well aware that the attire was Taehyung's and knowing that his fiance smelled like another male who was also not him was not a good feeling.

If y/n wanted, he would give her his shirt that shall keep her warm and protected.

But of course he did not want to scare her away.

He was not an over-obsessed man who would end up hurting his loved one just because of his jealousy.

So like always, he let the fact go.

Walking away, he propped himself up on the edge and sat down next to her, making sure to leave a gap between them even if he did not want to.

"Beautiful, isn’t it! New Year is always a time to look forward to." Jimin speaks, his voice low as he did not want to startle her out of her daze.

The female nods, awestruck. "It is. So mermaids do exist."

Jimin glanced at her and smiled. "You have not seen anything. The sea is rich of creatures you have yet to know of."

The female blinked and turned to him. "Really? So the moving map in your room and a bubble suddenly appearing around me the other day should not surprise me."

The now amused male shook his head. "They should not. You are in for a huge surprise if small things like that shock you."

'Small things...'

The female parts her lips and her senses slowly come back to her.

She completely forgot that she was sitting next to The King of the Seven Seas, also the one who owns the biggest ship in the pirate world.

Y/n wonders her eyes away from him and increases the gap between them.

Jimin instantly notices this but keeps his mouth closed. Although he was a tad bit hurt, he was well-aware of what kind of aura he gave off.

Of course she would keep her distance.

"You can ask me anything. I know you need answers." Jimin states, keeping his eyes ahead.

Y/n stays silent for a second, all the questions that have been bugging her for answers resurfacing in her head.

"I want answered as to what was decided between our fathers about our.. marriage. What relation did they have?" She questions quietly.

Jimin lets her words register in his head before speaking up. "Our fathers were great friends. My father was the sword provider for your father's army. And because of their friendship, they decided to bond their children into a marriage."

Y/n nods and asks another question. "About King Kang, he said my parents died because of me. Do you know what he meant by that?"

Jimin's facial expressions changed for a second when she spoke out his name but he controlled his emotions to calm the storm again.

"Kang likes to interfere in many things from the beginning. It has become his habit. Do not mind him and his ridiculous words."

The female furrowed her brows at his words and mumbled. "He killed my parents and he almost succeeded in killing me."

Jimin tensed up at the words that left her mouth and cleared his throat. "He would not get any closer to you. I can assure you that."

"So you are going to keep me here forever."

Jimin does not waste a second as he shook his head. "I brought you here because I wanted to protect you from all that you have been through. But the doors of my ship are open for you if you want to leave. I do not have any intentions of keeping you caged here. Though I would be hurt if you did leave."

Y/n lets his sentence register in her head, each of his words repeating in her mind many times.

She felt relieved. Why wouldn’t she when he literally laid out the idea that he would let her go if she wants to.

She will be free according to her own wish.

Was this even possible? Why is he suddenly speaking like that? Is he up to something?

But then again, if he wanted to hurt her, he would have done it by now. But he did not and she fully acknowledged that.

"What if i do not want to marry you?" She slowly questions and watched as his face breaks into a smile.

"That is something I would not let you do, my love. My father was a man of his words and I am his son. I have given my word to your father and I will not let you go." His words were firm yet softly spoken, telling her that even if she left, leaving forever was not a choice.

Y/n got quiet after that, thinking through the situation she was now in and how the time was so not fair.

Just a few days ago, she was free to breathe and do whatever she wanted to do. Now here she is inside a ship she never wanted to come across, next to someone she fears the most.

Life was indeed not fair with some people.

"You said there was proof." Y/n looks down at her fingers.

Jimin turns his head towards her and his eyes soften when he sees her small hunched figure. "There are many. We just have to find them."

Y/n directs her eyes to him. "Prove it to me. Find them, cause I currently do not wish to leave."
