"I am going to ask you one last time. Why are you here?" He asked. I just stared at him in fear. Then he scoffed.

"Where are my manners? And in front of a lady no less. I am Captain Park Jimin. And welcome aboard the S.S.Serendipity."

Y/N POV

I just stood as still as a statue as I stared into his cold yet beautiful eyes. He just stared back, waiting for my response. Then my brain seemed to catch up with what was happening and finally started to function.

"U-uh...nice to meet you?" I said. Then I mentally slapped myself. Nice to meet you?! Way to converse with a freaking pirate captain Y/N!  Captain Park narrowed his eyes at me. Then he and his crew burst into laughter as I looked down in embarrassment.

"Well you know your etiquette, I'll give ya that...but that doesn't answer my question....what business do you have aboard my ship?" Captain Park asked. I gulped.

"So....funny story....I was running away from....some very mean people and I hid under the red cloth on your ship but before I could get off the ship started moving and then I tried to hide in the barrels but none of them were empty so I tried hiding in the trunk in your cabin but you came inside so I hid under your bed and tried to escape but you caught me." I said in one breath. Way to go brain! Just tell him the truth and then make him push you off a plank into the ocean as shark food!

"Running away from who?" Captain Park asked. I hesitated. He turned to the person beside him. Another handsome man. Really, how are pirates so handsome when all the men back home were fat and ugly???

"Looks like our guest needs a little motivation..." Captain Park said. The guy nodded and reached into his belt to pull out....a dagger. I made a sound that was way too similar to a squeak as the guy stalked near me and held it a little too close to my throat.

"U-um...let-let's not get violent here....I'll answer your questions..." I stammered. Captain Park looked at the guy and he retreated and sheathed the dagger. "I was running away from a Lord of the Manor..." I said.

"And why were you running away from him?" Captain Park asked slowly.

"I...may or may not have stolen something of incredible value to not only the Lord but the Englishmen in general." I said quickly. Then there was silence.

"Are you telling me...you're...a thief?" Captain Park asked. Then he smirked widely and turned towards his crew. " She's not much different from us, is she?" He asked. "Nay, Cap'n!" The whole crew answered. Captain Park chuckled and shook his head. Then he turned back to me.

"Well...now that we know what you were doing here... it's time to get rid of you." He said. My heart stalled. "Ready the plank!" He yelled to the crew.

"Aye, Cap'n!" They yelled and went to get the board.

"Waiiiit," I screamed. They all turned to look at me. "If you let me live....I will hand over whatever I stole from the Lord!" I said. It's not worth my life, no matter how rare it is. Captain Park raised his eyebrows.

"What makes you think we will want it...?" He asked. "Well you're pirates...you steal for a living...and even if you didn't want it now, you would definitely want it after you see what it is." I said. I could see the curiosity bloom in his eyes. Wait...why are you still staring at his eyes?

"Well then, let's see this...thing of incredible value..." he said. They all waited as I just stood there. "Well?" Captain Park asked, clearly losing his patience little by little. Definitely don't wanna see what happens when he does completely.
