Pirate’s journey
chapter two
read chapter one here
When Yeosang and Wooyoung woke up they found themselves tied up to the main mast, well at least they had the decency to put them in a sit position before. Wooyoung could feel Yeosang silently sobbing and tried to look much calmer than he really was. “Yeosang don’t worry” his voice trembled though
“How can you say that to me in this situation?” he silently screamed and Wooyoung jumped when he noticed two guys, two pirates, were staring at them.
“Oh don’t mind us” the tall said “ we just have to watch you but you can continue your talking”
Wooyoung felt his hand being held by Yeosang’s. He couldn’t watch his face but he knew the other was trying not to cry in front of those pirates. They stayed silent and the short pirate punched the tall one. “Thanks to you now we don’t have our entertainment anymore” the tall one looked away and scoffed, as if he didn’t do anything. “That’s better for them, Seonghwa doesn’t like noises”
“Seonghwa isn’t the captain” the short one whined closing his eyes while the other laughed “hope he didn’t heard it”
Wooyoung looked at them with more curiosity than before, they just seemed normal people while joking like that. Yeosang hand tighten in his and he heard the two pirates fall in silence. “You’re joking around during your guard duty?”
Yeosang was breathless, he didn’t remember seeing this beautiful man while being kidnapped. He mentally slapped himself for what he was thinking. Yes he was beautiful but he still was a pirate and still was one of their kidnappers. Seonghwa kneeled down to be on the same eye level of Yeosang.
“What a shame he is his son”
The short pirate smirked “you have taste Hwa”
“I’m your superior, don’t drop honourifics unless you wanna swim with sharks, San” San laughed again. But this time he nodded. Seonghwa turned again to look into the scared eyes of Yeosang.
“You two have nothing to worry about, just do what we say and everything will be finished before you can imagine”
“That’s hard to think” Wooyoung spoke with sarcasm and Yeosang widened his eyes, scared for what they could do to Wooyoung. But the beautiful man in front of him smirked at his behaviour. “I’m looking forward to their meeting with Hongjoong”
“It’s going to be fun” the tall pirate said. Seonghwa left to somewhere Yeosang had no clue where.
“Who’s Hongjoong?” Wooyoung asked and San sighed “he is our great captain”
“What’s your name?” Yeosang spoke after a long time, looking at the tall boy almost in front of him. “I’m Mingi, nice to meet you” he smirked “You’re not so glad to meet us though”
“Why you took us?”
“Well, that’s what you’re going to discuss with Hongjoong later”
Yeosang closed his eyes, he was tired and he didn’t do anything. His mind back to the city and his family. He felt tears coming back out and he sighed trying to stay calm.
The night air was fizzy and the smell of the sea calming. The sound of the waves against the wood of the ship was relaxing to hear and Yeosang would have been able to sleep if it wasn’t for that little thought which couldn’t escape his mind. They were doomed. They maybe were useful now but when they will take what they need they are going to be killed for sure. Never heard of pirates who gave prisoners back to their home town.
“Woo?”
“Mh?”
“What are you thinking about?” He needed to talk to get his mind off of those thoughts
“Actually... nothing, I’m too tired to think”
“That’s impossible!” San exclaimed standing up from his position and going to sit in front of crossing both his arms and legs. “How can you not think?”
Mingi face palmed himself asking his own mind how stupid could San be.
Wooyoung looked confused for some seconds and then he tried to not laugh. A pirate was pouting in front of him. He was almost cute.
“Captain is coming!” Seonghwa yelled and everyone gathered in front of a door but that’s all he and yeosang could see from their position.
Loud yells and cheering was the only thing they heard for some moments. Then all of them moved out of the way and they could see a smirking man in front of them, reaching their position with firm steps. He raised a hand up and their rope were being cut off. They were forced to stand up while being maintained still by two man. Yeosang saw the man who was keeping him was that Seonghwa. He smelled like the sea.
“Well, who is Wooyoung?” Hongjoong, they assumed, spoke.
“Me. Now explain why you kidnapped us”
“Kidnapped? Oh dear, I’m not that barbarous” he laughed and some of his mans smiled. Hongjoong took a few steps to be nearer Wooyoung while talking. “You two are just ... an exchange I guess”
Yeosang frowned trying to think like them. Trying to figure out why they were doing all of that.
“You know, Wooyoung” Hongjoong took another step and he was a few inches from Wooyoung’s face “your father didn’t have the good behaviour with us” then his eyes were placed over Yeosang’s figure. His eyes were penetrating and his smirk didn’t look friendly like the one San and Mingi made few minutes before. Yeosang gulped and took a step back out of habit. His back touched Seonghwa’s chest and he tightened his hold on him.
“And you must be Yeosang, commodore’s son?” It clearly was a ironic question but Yeosang felt the need to nod.
“Well guys that’s the plan” he took some steps back “you just stay quiet and don’t bring any problems and when we have obtained what we want, you guys are free”
“And what’s that? What do you want?”
“Peace”
Yeosang laughed but then he recognised his mistake. But it was too late. “This is a weird way to ask for peace...”
“Well, silver spoon boy” started Hongjoong, reaching Yeosang and taking his face with one hand “when you risk your life every day just to be who you are, peaceful methods are not the ones you can use” Yeosang stayed silent but his eyes never left Hongjoong’s.
“We expect their moves in one or two days, so everyone must be prepared” a loud yes was the answer Hongjoong wanted. They were again tied up but this time one next to each other.
Nobody was paying attention to them now. “Yeosang” Wooyoung whispered “we’re gonna be fine okay? Trust me”
“Okay”
“I have a plan”
“You are crazy don’t tell me that you’re really thinking about a plan... to what? Run aways?”
“Of course”
“Woo, we are in the middle of the sea”
“Just trust me, we need to build up some trusts with them”
“Trust?”
Yeosang had a bad sensation about all of this
“Yes, we need at least to be able to move around” usually Wooyoung’s plans were a completely disaster but something in Yeosang’s soul told him to trust his words this time.
“Okay Woo, I trust you”
Wooyoung squeezed his hand and smiled a little.
🏴☠️
Yeosang was speechless. Wooyoung fell asleep next to him and now he was watching four pirates playing some weird game with cork stoppers while Seonghwa looked at them slightly annoyed. From what Yeosang could see the most loud were Mingi and San and the other two, who learned their name while they were playing, were more calm but still full of energies. He could feel the tiredness but he didn’t trust them. He couldn’t believe they wouldn’t harm them. He jumped from his spot when he heard Seonghwa’s voice much nearer than he thought. In fact, Seonghwa kneeled again next to Yeosang and he almost whispered those words to his ears.
“We will not kill you if you sleep few hours” and then he was gone. Yeosang watched him walking again to his spot, while he returned to watch the four boys.
Yeosang’s eyes felt heavier than before and maybe his words have calmed him more than he wanted to admits.
