Horizon (traitor) //ateez ff

story

"What are we waiting for Captain Hong! Let's go!"

Sannie continues to entertain the whole crew even with the sadness and fear they are experiencing for the day ahead of them.

"But where is this place, Hongie?"

Their Captain Hong giggles.

"On the other side of the line of the Horizon, Sannie."

"The Utopia."

Utopia?

As soon as Hongjoong ended his sentence, the rest of the crew members had their foreheads crumpled again.

They are very familiar with the word, and it is very surprising for it to be brought up by their captain at times like this.

"That place is a mere work of imagination, Hongjoong. A part of a bedtime story..." 

Jooyoung explains to her captain who is currently painted with the familiar fierce glow in his sparkling eyes and smile that stretches to his ears as it is very wide, joyful, and passionate at the same time on the face.

The passion was again burning, rosing high up in the air as he explain his main goal that could turn everyone's belief and life.

But the crew was not dazed by his passion. They are rather... starting to get skeptical at Hongjoong's goal. And some, especially Yunho and Mingi, think that he is something called hopeless.

"I know, but we could make the bedtime story a history!"

Arms raised high at the air with the purple book on his hands firmly gripped, Hongjoong declared. The happiness that overflows when he gave his own crew the goal he wanted to share with others is finally out, is something super good to feel inside his heart.

Too happy that the crew is starting to feel guilty that they are looking at him like he is a mad man.

"We thought your sole purpose is to bring a good name to pirates?" Mingi speaks the thoughts bothering his mind.

Hongjoong simply brought the idea of giving or rather bringing a good name to pirates, but there was no further explanation and that is the only thing that had a mark on the crew as there were no other pieces of information included.

Hongjoong lets out an exhale through his nose slowly and without any audible sound. He seems to be a bit nervous but he'll try his best on doing something, everything.

"I briefly said it, I know. But I also know that no one would want to join a mere dreamer that wanted to go to a place that was created purely by imagination."

The rough but pleasing texture of the book caught the senses of Hongjoong's fingertips as he rub it on the purple book Jeon Jungkook wrote for the world to witness his wanderings in words and poem titled utopia. The same place Hongjoong wanted to discover.

But regarding his reply to Mingi's question, he has a point. A person that believes in bedtime or fairytale stories even if their age is elevated and is already considered as an adult is pretty childish if you picture it.

It is either because that person was still chasing his childhood and craving for more as they never experienced being young fully enough, or that they wanted to bring another story to tell to other young ones.

And people will still look at them as childish, nothing more than that.

But at what part is Hongjoong siding on?

The more these words and paragraphs state more information, this could obviously tell that Hongjoong is siding more on the part where he wanted to create another story.
