a pirate's life for me

Sook Yeongi. 28. Human. Enforcer. Nephew to the Former Mayor. Better than you in every way.

[hjxsujin]

oh, shit.

it had been his own suggestion, and yet he immediately felt regret pool in his stomach. he was sure yeongi would drink him under the table. hell, a wet sponge could soak up more beer than him. his tolerance was ridiculously low. a side effect of his medications? probably. shit. shit. okay, well, he didn't have to drink as much as him, right? besides, this was more for his older cousin's sake than his own. he seemed to be wound so tight, a strong breeze would probably unravel him.

still, he returned his smile and said, "let's do it." they walked out of the building together and sujin shrugged on his jacket to keep the night air from nipping at his skin. "i'll have you know, hyung, i'm much stronger than i used to be." that was... partially true. he had certainly filled out more from how small and gangly he used to be. he kept up with his running, which still afforded him his lean build, but he had added more strength training to his routine. that didn't mean he was that strong, not yet, though. just enough to not huff and puff when carrying in a couple of cases of water. "so if i have to drag your drunk ass home, you can rest assure," he patted his back with a laugh, "i got you!"

[hjxyeongi]

Yeongi laughed. It was the first since he had received the news about his uncle. Maybe he was slowly improving. Even he knew he couldn't be in grief forever. Just until he found who killed their uncle.

But Yeongi could put it aside for Sujin. Just for an evening. Besides, even had to admit he looked a bit depressing drinking by himself. At least this would make him look a tad but less pathetic.

He patted his little cousin by the shoulder, forgetting his strength for the moment. "You always know how to cheer me up Sujin." He shook his head in laughter. "Well, I leave myself in your capable hands. I plan on drinking so much, they mistake us for fish."

𝗰𝗿𝘂𝘀𝗵 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲'𝘀 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁 day: pride day six time: early afternoon with: yeongi @hjxyeongi tw: murder and death mention

hiding behind a pair of sunglasses, haeun looked around at the gathered people. quietly, she had to wonder if it was unethical to be participating in the big scavenger hunt? after all, she was part of the pirate descendants that helped put together the chest that would be given to the winner or winners. but after a moment of thinking like that, she remembered that she was extremely competitive and was willing to crush someone’s spirit to win. so, there she was carefully studying her clues when she caught sight of one of her cousins out of the corner of her eyes. now, it wasn’t like she only had one or two. she had a few when it came to those related to the captain but actually seeing yeongi out in the light and not looking like batman was… a rare thing. especially after their uncle’s death. he was a firm believer that their uncle was a fucking saint. haeun couldn’t help but think he was an idiot. an angry idiot. sure, she knew he didn’t deserve death but he wasn’t perfect. none of them were. it wasn’t like she was going to share any findings from her end when it came to digging into things herself. most of the pirate cousins were out of their damn minds over it all. still, “holy shit, you come out during the day.” she called out to yeongi, not really moving closer to him but watching him anyway. “i thought you had gone nocturnal…”

[hjxyeongi]

Yeongi had been dragged out by the other enforcers. Told to make an appearance, to show off how unbiased they were, to go through the motions. He had been deep in grief. So deep, he had not smiled in a while. But, he could pretend. He had for the better part of his life, so why not now? He could be the good little descendant they all wanted him to be. A pillar of strength.

He was extremely relieved to see family. Haeun always struck him as a bit... odd. But, Yeongi had started as an outsider in his own home. So, he had always gravitated towards the black sheep in the family. Even if they were much odder in comparison to him.

"Well, I wanted to, but then one of my co-workers screamed because they thought I was a ghost." He gave a small smile. "At that point, they pushed me out of the office and told me not to come back for a few days." He looked at her hands. "Any luck so far?"

[talonxhj]

it was laughable. thinking that a single one of the ocean folk would go for the idiot in a human suit that was the previous mayor. talon wasn’t exactly known for his pickiness when it came to eating, fucking, or killing in the life that he lived. the few that still knew he gave into his baser needs to feed, well, they new he didn’t give a fuck where the flesh came from. but even he wouldn’t touch that dumbass with a ten-foot pole.

still, the streets were filled with hearsay, and he found himself in a small little room waiting for someone to come and ask him questions. the siren had let them take him. he could have fought back. could have even killed them with a whistle or a click of his teeth. but he didn’t. not when the cuffs went around his wrists or when he was walking into the sad little police station. he could have torn them limb from limb. maybe he should have. he had been stretching his time from when he usually spent it in the ocean and found himself far enough from it to be annoyed. his eyes had been closed when the other man walked in. mentally finding ways to keep his normally relaxed self to stay that way. talon had worked hard to not lose himself to the rage that rolled through like a storm from time to time. the moment he heard yeongi’s voice, didn’t fucking help.

of course, his fucking luck…

opening his eyes slowly, he looked at the human, pirate descendant in front of him. a smirk pulling the edge of his lips but this time, there was less mischief than the others had been instead it was replaced by someone that had killed his ancestors for fun... he never liked the damn kid. his attitude always pissed him off.

“i’ll tell you the same thing i’ve told everyone else,” leaning forward like he had a secret he kept his dark eyes trained on the other man. “i had nothing to do with the poor ex-mayor. may he rest in peace...”

[hjxyeongi]

Jiho was infamous among the enforcers. Though he supposedly cleaned up his act now, there were still tales of his past exploits. He destroyed indiscriminately, even his own kind. Really, it made him a special kind of monster.

Yeongi gave him a long look. Really, had this monster done it? They supposed he was attractive, capable of seducing most. Yeongi was unimpressed himself. A monster was a monster, no matter how pretty the wrapping. And, having dealt with him before, they knew this monster in particular was a pain in the ass.

"I'm sure he will, once we find his killer," Yeongi said pointedly. He did not let his disdain and his rage show on his face. Sirens exploited weaknesses. That was how they tempted you. "Can you provide an alibi for the time of the incident?"

Yeongi was going through the motions, biding his time. Feeling out this... thing. "Can you explain your relationship with the... victim?" he hesitated slightly. At the end of the day, that was his uncle. And if this thing said he had anything to do with him, Yeongi could possibly jump across the table and attempt to throttle him with his bare hands.

[hjxsujin]

harsh words fell past yeongi's lips, and though it shouldn't have surprised sujin, he still winced like every syllable was a lash to his own back. his cousin was in pain. he didn't mean it. but he did, a quieter part of his brain corrected him. he meant every word. if he knew what you were.... he couldn't hold back the tears that ran down his cheeks, hastily wiping them away before he became a snot-nosed mess. "i know you're right." no, yeongi wasn't. they couldn't be. there had to be more to the story. his uncle was never good to him.

"we'll get through it," he parroted his words back to him. a hand came to rest on yeongi's shoulder. "it's okay, you know — to not... be okay. you can talk to me." and even if sujin bottled up his own feelings in favor of yeongi's, then at least he was useful for something. at least he had some purpose rather than to let the unanswered questions in his head get the better of him. "and if you don't want to talk about it," he tried for a grin, but it was still tight around the edges, "we'll get you a night off and a round of drinks on me." sujin didn't often drink, preferring his teas and coffees, but it was sort of appealing, the idea of letting loose, even if only for a night.

[hjxyeongi]

"My parents keep going on about our standing in the community," he said. Up until a few months ago, that was one of the most important things in his life. Now, it seemed unimportant in comparison. The only reason he wanted to keep his standing was to bring justice for his uncle. "They don't care that he's gone. I guess they might have if he favored my brother. Though, maybe not even then."

He feels a flood of anger in him. He feels limited emotions lately. Anger. Sadness. Only those two and nothing else. He sighs though. He does genuinely like Sujin. So, he puts on the effort of a smile. "I guess the enforcers can last a night without me. Let's go get plastered. I know a bar nearby." Supernaturals didn't usually frequent it, as it was a favorite haunt among the enforcers.

[hjxsujin]

sujin figured yeongi would say as much. he had always been closer to their uncle than he ever was. he didn't wish to say out loud how he felt almost exactly... nothing over his death. apathy settled where grief should have been. and guilt. overwhelming guilt for feeling such a way. he was family, after all. what did that say about sujin? maybe that he was right. that you are a monster. he let out a breath he didn't know he had been holding and nodded, saying, "i'm just trying to understand what happened."

"there's been so much said about him. i-... i don't think i knew him as much as i thought i did." he looked around them to ensure no one listened in on their conversation. perhaps there would be a better place to have it, but he needed to make sense of it. now. he needed his cousin to set him straight. "do you think.. there's truth to it?" his voice was quieter now, only just above a whisper, leaning in for only the other to hear.

"if he did what they said, why would he- why did he-" tears pinched his eyes. he swallowed past the ball forming in his throat and looked to his older cousin like they held all the answers in the world.

[hjxyeongi]

'"They murdered him," he said. "And all those dirty whores are lying." That was clear in Yeongi's mind. "Even if they aren't... clearly they seduced him. Our uncle was a victim." In Yeongi's mind, that was the truth. It had to be. He was hanging by a tenuous balance as it was. He hadn't even had time to properly grieve. Not with the investigation. Not with all the false leads.

"Our uncle was a good person. He always looked out for the best interest of people like us," he said. He felt his eyes get teary. No. Not today. Not when he needed to be strongest. Fuck. He heard his parents in his head, telling him not to be weak to be strong like his brother.

But that bastard had not loved anyone a day in his life. "We'll get through it."

Really missing yoo babi these days ❤️

[hjxsujin]

oh, he had gotten caught.

well, it wasn't as if sujin was doing the best job at being stealthy. he should've figured trying to hide behind a plant only worked in the movies and not in real life.

his face flushed red in embarrassment and he stumbled on his words as he was prone to doing when he was in over his head. "sorry, i just— well, you see— i-i just wanted to see how you are. i mean, it's not every day our uncle gets murdered, you know?" now, he certainly could've worded that better. "sorry," he muttered again, quieter this time. he scratched at the back of his head as he looked to the other.

"how are you, uh... holding up?"

[hjxyeongi]

Family was always complicated, especially among the pirates. But, Yeongi always felt a kinship with Sujin. They were both outcasts. Unappreciated by their parents. maybe that was why he was so endlessly patient with him. Even if Sujin was trying to trail them like a detective in a cheesy film. Yeongi pursed his lips. From anyone else, he would plot to ruin their lives immediately. Possibly knock them out cold. With Sujin, he stared at him for a moment, then, after he calmed himself, proceeded to continue. "About as well as can be expected, considering his murderer is still out there. You?"

bad cops only//yeongi & jiho

date: may 28, 2023 location: hanjeong town jail @talonxhj

The room was dimly lit, with a long table at its center. Two metal chairs were placed on opposite sides, facing each other. A dingy light was shinning on the culprit. It was a cliché, but Hanjeong was all about tradition. And, the police were frankly, laughable. They needed all this posturing because, at the end of the day, they had no confidence.

Of course, Yeongi was only doing this investigation in the precinct to pretend he was playing nice. Though enforcers could ignore the verdicts at town hall, even most of the enforcers said this was more of a personal vendetta for Yeongi. So, they had put in a request to interrogate the suspect. Really, they had only given in because Yeongi was a tenacious bastard. And, they were getting nothing out of this shithead.

Yeongi walked in and stared down at the man that possibly seduced his uncle. Then, possibly murdered him. Still, he was calm. If he wasn't, the siren would get the upper hand. "Ready to talk yet?" he smirked. "We might even get you a glass of water if you promise to behave yourself."
