Captain Min ✔️

Chapter 6: The Captain's Stress

He walked me towards the deck of the ship and I saw what could possibly be hundreds of men. Some of them licking their lips and others simply smiling. We walked to the middle of everyone and Captain Min wrapped his arm around me protectively.

"As you can see we have someone new aboard the ship." He yelled as to reach all the ears onboard. There were afew cheers and murmurs that followed. "This is Rose, and you will all address her as Noona, for as you can see, age has not struck her from her beauty." I smiled and blushed at his kind words.

He then gripped onto my arm tightly pushing me forward making me walk in a circle. "Be sure you take a good look men...this wench is MINE...and the first person to even look at her wrong will experience a sudden stop after a sudden drop." He growled.

The men on the ship cheered and when I stopped I saw both Jimin and Tae looking at me, smiling. He then jerked me forward drawing a knife from his belt. He pressed the blade into my palm dragging it across my skin. I was proud that all I let out was a subtle gasp. He then did the same to his own palm then pressing our hands together bringing them up in the air. "Let this be attest to the connection...she is mine, and mine alone." He looked back over to me and smiled. "TO THE WENCH OF THE IVORY KEY." He shouted and the rest of the crew cheered with him raising either swords or mugs of whatever they were drinking.

He let go of me and swirled me around. He bent slightly picking me up from my thighs forcing my legs to circle around his waist. "I'll be occupied for the remainder of the evening." He smiled to me. "Do not disturb me." He called before walking me back below deck. He kicked the door open to the room we were sharing and then dropped me to my feet. Jimin followed behind us shortly after with his medical bag around his body.

"That was awesome Hyung." He smiled. "All the men are envious of the 'sweet peach' you will feast on from here on in." He then laughed.

"Jimin." He said unamused. "Will you please address her hand? I need to speak with Taehyung."

Jimin's smile fell slightly and he nodded. "Yes, Captain."

And with that he left, slamming the door behind him. Jimin walked me over to the bed and we sat in our normal spots as he took hold of my hand. He started to clean my hand and I felt this the perfect opportunity to ask questions.

"Why does the Captian carry so much stress on his back?"

"There is a lot going on that you don't know about Bunny..." he sighed. "...the Captain doesn't like to share his worries with others."

"Do you now what he's worried about?"

"I do."

"Can you tell me?"

He stopped what he was doing and looked up to me. "Why are you so interested?"

"W-well I'm the captains now aren't I?" I gulped. "Shouldn't I know these things to try to help?"

"You know who the First Mate is on the Ivory Key don't you?"

I shook my head. "No."

"It's Taehyung." He smiled. "But it wasn't always Tae." He started to clean my wound again as he spoke. "The First Mate of The Ivory Key used to be a man called Kim Namjoon." He sighed. "Captain Min and him were friends from an early age. When Jin didn't want to take over the Ivory Key when their father passed, he decided to take over instead. With that, he assigned Joon to be his first mate. The man was a genius." He laughed lightly. "In fact they both are...there was nothing they couldn't do together that wasn't successful...that was until Namjoon got a little greedy. See...what you don't know...is Namjoon wasn't only the Captains best friend and first mate...he was his brothers lover."
