chapter six; stitches.

Breakfast was over so it was finally time for you to move into your new room. Both Jongho and Seonghwa had nothing in particular to do so Hongjoong ordered them to help you arrange furniture. During breakfast Hongjoong said that our next destination is a small quiet island called Curacao, there he said we are going to go purchase some better fitting clothes due to you having to wear hold hand me downs, new furniture for the room and small items so that you could finally own things to call your own, but for now you needed to use old furniture that had been stored on the ship for what seemed like years. The old storage room which was now what you called your own was moderately spacious, the back wall had a small circular window that gave the room a homey glow. it was comfortable. While Jongho and seonghwa carried in an old and rusty bed from, you follwed close behind with a small wooden desk that Yeosang used to use when he first began his life on the treasure. The desk has ink stains and broken bits missing from it but it would do until you reached Curacao. Whislt examining the desk a loud bang sounded from the other side of the room.

"Hyung! be careful." yelled Jongho. you turned around to see Seonghwa with an alarmed expression and the bed frame hitting the wall. You let out a small giggle which only made him blush with embarrassment. Once you had all moved a mattress, chest of draws, chairs and a mirror into the room, You and Jongho sat on the bed whilst Seonghwa left to go get something for the three of you to drink.

"you're truly becoming part of the crew now Y/N" Jongho said

"yeah, its a little weird. I haven't known you boys for long but it feels like I've found something like a family." You smile.

"are you happy?" he asked. Jongho never seemed like the kind of person to get deep into feelings so this was new territory. Maybe he was trying to open up.

"yes, I don't feel the need to know who I was anymore. I'm more interested in who I'll become." you answer

"fresh lemonade!" Seonghwa returned with a jug of iced lemonade and three long glasses, interrupting you and Jongho.

"Thank you Hwa." you smile as he passes you the cold glass. It was sweet and cooling, the zest of the lemon wasn't too sour nor bitter, it was just right. the perfect balance.

"what were you two talking about?" asked Seonghwa

"Y/N was just saying that she's excited for what the future holds." Jongho smiled

"The wide open sea, battles, adventures, friendship, freedom." Seonghwa replied almost as though reminiscing his time on the treasure. "that's what the future with bring for us." He smiled

"I hope so." you beam back

"so-" Jongho was about to speak but was cut off by a bell. Horror struck the faces of the two boys beside you but confusion flooded yours.

"shit." spat jongho

"what? whats wrong?" you asked

"An enemy ship has been spotted." Seonghwa growled

"what does that mean?" you asked.

"lets just say, best case scenario, we only need to treat a few gun wounds and half the ship." Jongho replied. As Jongho said this, a boy ran frantically into your room, it was none other than Choi San.

"Get Y/N to the medical wing, she'll be safe there and can help Yunho when someone gets hurt." San said. The boys nodded at San.

"Jongho, you go deal with the weapons, I'll take her." Seonghwa told Jongho. The younger boy nodded and ran off towards the weapon stores. "lets go." said the older and grabbed your hand. In the other he drew his cutlass in order to protect the two of you if need be. You both ran out of the room and onto the main deck. Right before your eyes you saw a giant grey wooded ship with torn flags. cannons had been drawn and the pair of you dashed towards the medical wing. That's when things went to shit. A canon had been shot at the side of the treasure which sent the boat into a swaying mess. The force threw you across deck and you hit your head on the side, a pounding feeling crowded your head and dizziness washed over you. As you tried to stand up and steady yourself another canon had been shot once more which sent you flying back into the ships side. Pain rushed through your body and your left ankle has gotten caught on piece of broken ship. You were sure that the poor ankle was broken but has to suck it up. you had to get to the medical wing. Seonghwa was on the other side of the main deck holding into a rope to keep his stance, he had an undeniable worry for you but couldn't help, the enemy pirates were boarding the treasure and he had to fight them off. With as much might as you could muster, you lifted your body from the ground and began to hobble towards the medical wing. Due to the slow pace at which you were travelling, the pirates has soon completely boarded the treasure, and one was coming right toward you. That's when you felt a strong arm wrap around you. The man holding you up raised his musket and shot the pirate coming toward you.
