The Pirate and The King [Seongjoong || ATEEZ]

Take Me Home

☾⛥⛥⛥⛥⛥⛥⛥⛥☽

After one hour of paddling following their Captain, the pirates finally landed at a somehow deserted part of the beach. The only ones with eyes there where the seagulls and them. Now, they just had to be careful so Hongjoong didn't notice them.

They wanted him to believe he was alone, that he was doing this alone, only going to help if they saw Hongjoong in big trouble. They just wanted to make sure he didn't end up as dead as a dodo.

Jokes on them, Hongjoong knew he was being followed since he had heard them get on the other boat. Of course he knew his crew wasn't going to let him go alone, but he wished they did- right? Or was he scared to go alone? No... he wanted to rescue Seonghwa alone, he wanted to save him. Alone. Wait what?

He was a mess on this moments. He didn't know how to get to the Castle from here, he didn't know why he was doing this, why is heart felt the need to get Seonghwa back. Maybe the days being together, the mornings talking before the sun rose or the nights in the same bed had something to do with it. But it couldn't be, right? Seonghwa was just a hostage, a prize, a pleasure giver. Pirates do not fall in love.

Captains do not fall.

He looked up and sighed, recharging his energies and started climbing the hill, the Castle being up there. He just needed to get up and enter without being seen. Easy job...

...Or not. Who was he kidding?

With one of Yeosang's knifes in each hand, Hongjoong digged on the hard dirt and little by little climbed carefully. A skill a pirate did not have very developed.

"Why. Am. I. Even. Doing. This." He murmured to himself as sweat dripped down his forehead and chest. "That stupid landlubber. I cant believe myself,"

He was swearing the 7 seas away under his breath, and after almost forty minutes of climbing, the exhausted man reached the walls of the Castle.

He looked back in search of his crew. No one was there. Fuck, did they leave him alone? "I mean I said I wanted to go alone but now I'm kinda scared... " He said to the wind, as if someone was gonna hear him.

"Oi! Captain! Here we are!" San answered appearing on top of the walls of the Castle. Hongjoong looked to his sides not knowing where the sound had came from. There was no one.

"Cool now I hear voices, I think this heat is making me go clam," The man said reaching his hands to his head.

"Up here Hongjoong-a!" Yunho shouted, finally getting the short man to look up, disbelief painted on his face.

"HOW IN THE 7 SEAS DID YOU FOUR GOT UP THERE!?" Hongjoong said shocked.

"There is this much easier path and we literally found a ladder on the other side of the wall, right behind that corner! " Jongho explained pointing to the direction. At this point, Hongjoong just wanted to end this stupid excursion and leave Seonghwa suffering the Prince life. But he couldn't, he simply couldn't.

«Give it to the ship anchored South». Those where the last words of the Prince before going. It was her job to make them come true, so the maid took a small wooden boat and paddled towards the ship she clearly saw in the direction Seonghwa has told her. Fuck, pirates.
