Hyejin POV

The sun was shining bright, the birds chirping their way as they fly over our heads.

Laughter of little children as they play around with their friends. While their mothers shopped for goods they were in knew of from the morning market which was open for the day and filled with different treats from different parts of the world and local delicacies too.

I had packed all my necessities and left the palace early to find a ship which was ready to offer us a ride to Ocsen.

Having found a trader, I sat on the dock waiting for the prince to come.

Suddenly, a big bag drops on my lap, growling I stand up to give a piece of my mind to who ever it was but froze,

"Why is this too much?" He asks, scanning my expression.

"Damn, why do you look so good." I mutter under my breath, and then tell him, "Your a prince, why are you wearing something like that?"

"We have to blend in, don't we?"

"Tch, your face is enough to give you away." I retort.

"Guess, we won't be able to catch them then?"

"Oh no, we can, they won't know how you look, remember I was the one after you, not them. So don't worry."

Slinging my bag over my shoulder, I feel watched, I turn to him and saw him scanning my body form top to bottom, swatting his face, I yell "can you not!"

He just smirks, "not my fault you look good."

His comment made me wanna punch him right on his handsome face, but I held myself back, making a mental note to do so after finding ateez.

"But you know on second thought, wouldn't it be better for you to stay here?" Don't get me wrong, I don't mind the fact that he's following me, but like, it's too risky."

"Well too bad, coz I'm not backing up."

"Young lady! You coming, we gotta leave before the sea gets rough." The captain yells.

"Coming!" I yell back, and along my backpack over my shoulder, Sungchan followed suit.

One of the men on board showed us to a room inside the ship which had two beds in it, "this is all we have." He tells.

"Its great. It has plenty of space so we're fine. Thank the captain for me again will ya!" I put on my best smile possible and settle in.

Placing my bag over the bed, I sit on the edge and take out a map I had I  hand.

Sungchan joins me and looks at the map too, form the corner of my eye, I could see his face right next to mine.

Feeling uncomfortable, I push him away, "Don't lean in so close."

"You know you love it." He cockily states, with a smirk.

Flicking his forehead I get up and head up to the deck.

Leaning over, I look out of the empty sea, the wind was calm so the waves weren't rough.

Heading up to the captain's cabin, I ask "captain, do you know about the pirates ATEEZ?"

"Oh, those nasty pricks! I know about them alright! They are nothing but a load of bad luck." He replies.

"Yea, I know." I mutter under my breath.

"Why about them though? Are you looking for them?" He asks.

"You could say so," I vaguely answer.

"Well, I don't know why you seek for those rogue bastards, but I know that they have docked at Ocsen for now, you might find them there. You should be careful though young lady, they are ruthless beasts." He tells.

"Thanks captain! It means a lot. I hope the bag of coins I gave you were enough, if you want more, I can give you."

"No worries, I'm glad to help, and if you want a ride back to Reigan, I'd be glad to give you a lift!"

"Thanks, hopefully I will be able to leave Ocsen alive." I mutter the last part and head down to the cabin to get some shut eye.
