utopia

"What was that now, Kim Hongjoong? Be a student of a pirate that captivated us?"

Jooyoung runs her fingertips in circles, pressed at the sides of her head, thinking about another bomb that Hongjoong brought to drop. She kept speaking words of scolding but the man before her wasn't listening nor having his eyes, at least, looking at Jooyoung.

Hongjoong's visions were lurking around the place of Captain EDEN.

"Hongjoong!"

Seonghwa then calls their captain's name as he witnesses the soulless Jooyoung who looped her words about 80 times already but there was no attention going straight to her words.

He finally snapped his head towards them.

"Finall—"

"Aren't you skeptical about this capturing thing?"

"What do you mean?"

"He said a while back that he wanted us to be his prisoner because he caught us in his territory worrying about us getting something. But, isn't it easier for us to take something from him if he were to take us inside his system?"

!!

He has a point...

Everyone suddenly had their minds pondering about the thought.

"He would've killed us while we are asleep, threw us on the ocean and took our ship, hang us, or anything instead of keeping us." Yeosang bites the joint of his index finger after finishing the idea he said out loud.

Hongjoong then, raises his finger, jerking it towards a certain object that caught everyone's attention. He let his crew scan it for a little while before explaining something that he has noticed.

A drawer with two boxes occupying the empty spaces and built-in dark oak wood.

The same hourglass that was flipped by EDEN to run another timer and fall of sands from top to its bottom portion— was placed at the very top of the drawer.

"There is something there."

??

"A chocolate~"

Jooyoung slaps her palm at the mouth of Sannie as he blabbers words in between of a serious occasion.

"He's hungry. Go, go, continue what you are talking about."

Jooyoung shifted her gaze from one member to another then back to Hongjoong who was leading the conversation.

She ended her sentence with a shrug of the shoulders and dipping of her head downwards. But Sannie will never be enough and licked her salty palm.

The others at the back couldn't help but think that this situation of Jooyoung carrying the weights of embarrassment Sannie shares to her but never took for himself to be ashamed of.

Yeosang looking to the side so that none would see his lips trembling from the mischievous laugh that is trying to break free.

Seonghwa turning into a granny with no teeth, letting his lip gets pressed by the other.

Jiseon was grinning at the picture he is witnessing right now.

Mingi had his head aching as he bumps the metal bars behind him from laughing backward.

Jongho was still wondering about what happened to his nightmare a while back, never listening as there is no ear to hear.

But not all of them find that funny. It is a very small thing yet everyone treats it pike a hysterical moment to laugh on— well, that is what Yunho thinks of. Instead of laughing, he tries to speak.
