The ship which is boarded with Prince Jimin soon started to get speed and travelled towards the east. In no time the buildings, the busy harbour, tall trees and the city view disappeared from the eye sight. The ship teared the sea waves and kept sailing towards its destination. The beautiful evening was now filled with the sound of sea wind. It sounded like it is wailing due to the departure of Jimin.
All these were like reflecting the inner turmoil of Jimin. His heart felt a defining peace just like the silence in the deep sea. At the same time in the surface of his heart, many thoughts kept running like a beast.
He remembered how his dad Namjoon said about his dreams that day in the Busan art gallery. He also remembered how much he desired to travel over sea when he was a little boy. But how his wish is getting fulfilled in a different way. How much different it felt from dreaming to travel in a ship with tiger flag with Silla soldiers to capture lands far from home and the reality. He is there in a ship with Lion and Bunny flag, legs and hands binded in chains and travelling as a sequester.
When Jimin kept thinking, he saw the ship captain coming towards him. They removed the chains binding him. "What is this?" Jimin asked confused by their action. The Captain simply said, "Its Emperor's order". "Where are you taking me?" Jimin asked the captain. The captain politely replied that, "It is a island at 12 days distance. We will let you go, near the shore. That is the order." Jimin asked "Who are the people living there?".
"We don't know about that. You can roam around the Ship freely. But don't try to escape. If you do, then the consequences will be severe." The captain replied and went to carry on his work.

Jimin roamed inside the ship for sometime. He tried to talk with the navigators but it was for no use. They all kept silent when it came to Jimin. He then made his way to the upper portion of the ship and sat at a corner facing the sky and the sea.
His thoughts were kept captive by his mother Jin. He wondered what his eomma Jin doing. Will he be disappointed because he failed miserably in the mission? Will he be feeling proud that I spoke bravely infront of Emperor Hoseok? Will he feel sorrow that I left him like this? I guess the monk will be there to encourage eomma Jin.
This made him to think about the Monk. 'Wow..... that monk came from nowhere to the harbour to bless me. How much did he think about my welfare?' He thought about the monk fondly.
When he thought about the monk, his mind envisioned another person. A young boy. 'How did the boy from the street of Hope city came to the Harbour right when I'm going? Who he might be? His doe eyes looked so cute. Why his eyes were glistening with tears? Did he felt compassion for me? How can he feel that way when he don't even know who i am?'
Like that his mind kept thinking about that particular mysterious boy. Jimin didn't even realise that the sun is already went home behind horizon and the stars started their shift to spread cool light in the night sky.
When he looked at the sea, he got startled realising that it is already night. He is also shocked to the fact that he kept thinking about that mysterious boy for the whole time. He blushed at that thought.
He thought about Yoongi and Hazel. 'How much hyung and noona loved me? I'm going to miss the birth of my little champ right? Hazel noona said I will be the first person to see the child when baby comes out the room. But how much destiny hates me! I won't even be there when noona give birth. They will be talking about me now. Or may be about old man choi.' Again he kept thinking about his family and friends.
Now its already near 7 in the night. The moon was shinning its gentle light on the sea. It is a half moon. That reminded him the pretty gree eyes of the young boy he saw on the streets. The boy was fair like the moon.
For the first time he thought, "How beautiful he looked". The young boys fairness was highlighted with his brunette hair. He is truly an etheral human being. He never seen such a beauty in his 20 years of life.

12 days disappeared in thin air just like that. Jimin didn't even realise how fast these 12 days went. Thanks to the thoughts of the mysterious boy. When the 13th day morning came, he was surpised to see the sun shining behind a green, natured island. The captain came to him and said, "Prince Jimin. Did you see the island there? That is where you are meant to be sent. We got the order to leave you little far from the shore. You know to swim right?"
"How far from the shore you will drop me?" Jimin asked.
"We won't leave you so far. If you don't know how to swim, then we will drop you with a wooden log. You can keep it as a support and go to the island." The captain said.
"What will you do If I say I wont get down?" Jimin asked with a blank face.
"We will tie you with the wooden log and push into the sea. We got an order" The captain said calmly.
"Well. No need. I will get down by myself." Jimin said to the captain.
As said, when the ship got a little near the shore, Jimin jumped into the sea and started to swim towards the island. Thanks to yoongi who teached him swimming. As he got closer, he can see some group of people standing in the shore and eyeing him.
Who are they? Whey are they standing in the shore? What language will they speak? What is the reason Emperor Hoseok ordered his men to drop me in this island? All these thought were rolling inside his head as he kept swimming to his new future.
