escaped

Wooyoung grabs his pistol with so much satisfaction because each of them is safely put inside the ship to escape.

And as this happens, Wooyoung watches the others as they shrunk in size from his sight. Especially the apple.

The silent falling apple.

Choi Jongho... Just a little more sacrifice bud.

He peers the busy captain on the high floor, steering the wheel accompanied by another gun to shoot.

He sees it. Their Captain Kim Hongjoong looked mightier than ever.

But there was a sudden frown and drop off his hand from the wooden steering wheel.

"W-why did you stop—"

Wooyoung follows the fierce glare of Hongjoong towards another thing. Or rather... A person with a dangerous thing.

"Steal my hourglass and maybe I splat pool of blood for yourself, Hongjoong."

Seonghwa doesn't hesitate to glide his way in front of Hongjoong to aim two guns at the other captain.

"Keep steering Hongjoong, we can repair the damages. Those canons are nothing as dangerous as the bombs of Captain Jeong."

But Hongjoong doesn't move.

"Hongjoong!" Seonghwa hisses in between of his clenched teeth. His eyes were bulging out, giving clear signs that they really need to move before those cannons really get into their system.

"Hongjoong!—"

"Do you want to come with us?"

Hongjoong asks the captain, silencing every pirate living— no, maybe walking beyond this cave.

"Hongjoong, what in hell are you thinking! ARE YOU REALLY OUT OF YOUR MIND!"

Seonghwa bursts out, hearing another banter of letting someone fairly unacceptable in their journey.

Hint of... Selfishness for a bit.

With reddening ears and flaring nose, Seonghwa couldn't hide the anger and confusion building up inside him.

He really just can't accept how accepting the captain is.

"You can't just accept everyone! That's too vulnerable of you! Not every breathing person needs to be included in this... THIS STUPID PITY PARADE OF YOURS!"

He immediately clasps his hands on his mouth with a running tongue.

Remembering the conversation he had with EDEN, he remembers that he, himself, is an escape guest on Hongjoong's charity.

He slowly brings his vision towards the now-smirking EDEN. And all he can feel is horror pumping more on his veins.

"Please, Seonghwa. Let me just talk."

Seonghwa refuses.

"We did everything we can to break that old geezer's captive and now you want him inside our group... I can't just let you do that."

"I'm sorry."

'click'

"Steer the wheel."

"Seonghwa stop." Wooyoung senses his alarms crying out loud.

Seeing the mouth of the gun cocked on Hongjoong's head, Wooyoung tries to stop Seonghwa from making more trouble.

"I said stop!"

"JUST STEER... Please, let's just get out of this place already..."

There was a hint of breaking down of Seonghwa's emotions and logical thinking. Both are not working together, but both fell down into pieces because of pain.
