// Preparations //

When Yoon had prepared dinner, you had refused the bowl he gave you, claiming you were full. But when Hak made his way towards you with a bowl full of food, offering to feed you, your mouth was wide open in a matter of seconds.

"Aaaaaaaah." You opened your mouth, as Hak placed another spoonful of soup in your mouth, the two of you sat away from everyone, considering how Hak and Your alone time decreased massively after climbing aboard the ship.

"Well Ms. Chubby Cheeks~ it seems you weren't full just too lazy to eat~" Hak teased stuffing a spoon full of soup in his own mouth, your cheeks full of food, reminding Hak of Ao.

"My cheeks aren't chubby." You told him before opening your mouth again, Hak placing another spoon of soup in your mouth. Hak's grin only grew, as he watched your cheeks jiggle around when he poked it.

"Oh really~? If that's what you say." Turning away from Hak, ignoring him, you rested your head on his shoulder, your body leaning on to his.

A comfortable silence fell over you both, Hak moving the bowl away. A few seconds past, seconds turning into minutes as your eyes became droopy, sleep ready to attack you, yet it was disturbed. But before that, Hak watched you curiously, he liked that you could rely on him, his eyes never left you, infact he was so immersed in you, he didn't notice a certain green dragon creep upon on the two of you.

"I've finally found you two love birds~ Come on, Shin-ah's spotted ships, captain has stuff to say." Jae-ha walked up to you two, waking you up from the two minutes of sleep you had finally got, Hak frowned, he didn't like the fact, that your precious sleep was ruined, but he knew whatever Gi-gan had to say, it was important.

"Aw~ don't wanna~ I'm sleeeeeepy~!" You whined, stuffing your face in Hak's arm, as you wrapped your arms around his one muscular arm, clutching onto it tightly, you could barely open your eyes, as sleep consumed you.

"Aw~ come on, (Name), dear." Jae-ha smirked, locking gazes with Hak, his eyes indirectly telling Hak, to get you up. Hak glanced at your half sleeping, half awake figure, before he turned his gaze back to Jae-ha.

"Go away droopy eyes. I'll ask white snake or Yoon to update me later. Tell the captain, we fell asleep and are not getting up no matter what, even if Kum-ji starts a war or something." Hak told the older man, shooting him away. Once Jae-ha had disappeared, he lifted you, up into his arms, your arms unconsciously winding around his neck. Hak walked towards a nearby tree, before setting you back down.

He leaned his back onto the tree behind him, setting your head down in his lap, one of his hands rested beside you, as you clutched onto it, while the other rested on your head. He glanced at you one last time, before closing his eyes, and mumbling three short words under his breath.

"Good night, (Name)."

Today was another preparation day before the upcoming battle against Kum-ji. And everybody was busy getting ready, everybody except you. Kija was busy carrying items, and relocating them using his strong hand, Shin-ah and Hak were teaching the fellow pirates swordmanship, and Yoon was busy handling injuried patients, while Yona and Jae-ha were busy looking through the towns for any clues. You wandered around trying to find something you could do, until you ran into captain Gi-gan.

"Captain, hello! What are you doing?" Gi-gan stood infront of the steering wheel, as her hand held her pipe, her other hand holding a map, she glanced up at you, before looking back down at her map.

"It's you. I was looking for possible routes, Kum-ji would take to go to the Kai empire." She told you. Kum-ji had clients in the Kai empire and that was where his next deal was taking place, which meant the final battle would take place on one of the many routes that led to the Kai empire.

"Well then what are you doing? We don't need any useless baggage on the ship. " She glanced at you once more, a smirk on her lips.

"I'm only useless because I have nothing to do! Even Yona's helping out somehow, give me a job captain!!" You whined, a pout resting on your lips, Gi-gan's smirk only grew as she called you to her side.

"Do ya want me to teach you how to drive a ship?" She asked you, her eyes holding an intense amount of mischief in them, but that's what lit a spark in you.

"Yes, please!" You eagerly nodded your head as you watched her set down her map. And this was the beginning of how you found a hidden talent, driving ships, and boats.

"The first important thing while driving a ship, is wind.."

Jae-ha and Yona landed right infront of you, Yona in his arms as the rest of the crew began to surround them. From the look of Yona's face, you were able to make out one thing, they had found valuable information.

"Captain.. the day of the deal may be the evening of the day after tommorow." Jae-ha told Gi-gan, setting Yona down. The captain's once mischeif eyes were replaced cold serious eyes.

"The day after tommorow, huh? What's your reasoning?" She asked, pointing her pipe towards him, Jae-ha smirked before continuing to answer, meanwhile you slowly made your way towards Hak, standing beside him. When he glanced at you, you offered him a smile, which he ignored, a smirk on his face as he turned away.

"I found the shop where people being sold have gathered. To the outside, it looks like a shop with a high paying job. But.. on the inside it's a place which that they find good looking woman, who they think would sell high." Jae-ha paused for a moment, his eyes now holding a different emotion.

"I asked someone to ask an employee about the shop, the employee said it's a place for young women wanting work, and when we asked how long they're hiring for, they said till the noon of the day after tommorow.." Jae-ha finished telling the rest.

"..but we don't know which boat the woman will be on." Gi-gan told him,  more like asked him, meanwhile a bulb went off in Yona's head, she just got an idea. A dangerous but effective idea.

"If we fire something like a firework from the boat, will we be able to rescue the woman easier?" Yona spoke up, as all heads turned to her, you had a vague idea of where this is going.

"That will work, but who will fire it?" Gi-gan turned her head towards Yona, curiosity in her eyes, she liked Yona, she liked the firey-ness that burned in her eyes. So she had a good intuition that this would work, as long as the strings were pulled well.

"I will. I'll sneak on to the human-trafficking camp." Yona confidently said, taking a few steps forward as Kija, Shin-ah, Hak, Yoon and your head whipped around facing her, worry etching onto your faces.

"I will launch the firework."
