"They are dead?! And how would you know tha-"

"By the way they cloth, the same outfit, the same bone structure they have. I- I mean we can clearly tell!"

Wooyoung had his mouth running like a horse again as his words were in a hurry and speedy pace. But he was careful enough to not screw their cover with his loud voice.

Hongjoong listens carefully to the words of the younger with the others while acting as if he was still moping the cabin.

"What else did you find?"

"A book. But we didn't take it."

"Why not?!" Yunho almost had his cover busted when he exclaimed. He dunks his head low once again after the pirates had their ears up to his burst.

"Why not? That would be utterly suspicious if we took something right away!"

"But did you even care skimming through it?"

"No."

"What?!"

The whole crew sighed out, frustrated, and in unison as Wooyoung disagrees.

They felt like Wooyoung and Yeosang just wasted their time. The skeletons were merely concluded by their mouths, and nothing else was justified to be the crew that is surrounding them is actually a group of walking dead.

Without the book, Wooyoung is talking about, or any other clue that will hint them the horrifying truth, ATEEZ won't be enough with the information.

On the other hand, the pirates that are working with them peer their eyes back at the group with warying-ly behavior. Hongjoong's crew is more obvious than covering what they know. They are surely gonna be reported to the infamous captain, EDEN.

"We don't have any choice but to leave it! Unless you want us to risk our lives getting caught red-handed!"

"Alright, alright. We understand. Don't banter more loud noises." Hongjoong calms the cunning fox down before asking for another information. "Other than the book and skeletons?"

Wooyoung was ready to place his mouth into story-telling mode again but he abruptly stops that action as one of the pirates call unto them with a jerking finger through another way.

"You! Captain EDEN is asking for your presence. I'll be leading you towards the grounds."

Shit.

"On it!" Wooyoung shouts as a response.

As he go through the way led by the pirate calling him, he purposely knocked a mug that is not yet finished from yesterday by the pirates into the ground, making more fuss and excuse to talk to Hongjoong that had the mop in his hands. He apologizes, but his true intention was to duck and hide his lips from the spectators.

"One of the skeletons had a glowing thing inside their ribcage. I am not really sure but I think it is in the shade of white light. Seemingly mag—"

"Hey!"

Wooyoung jolts up.

"What are you two talking about?" The same pirate that called him appears right before Wooyoung.

With a gulp, the cunning fox stutters in panic. "N-No-"

"There was a fairy flying around them but it got too shaky that it made Wooyoung's elbow hit the mug and spill its rum."

Mingi concludes. Well, he lied, of course.

"Seriously?!" Jiseon exclaims. He never had a chance to stop his disbelief towards Mingi as he explains a very obvious lie, that he just got to cover his mouth by the end of his phrase.
