"UNCLE JIM?"
A very young voice shouted into his ear. Taehyung jumped at the noise and shrinked away from the touch of her hands while the child stared at him.
She would have been around the age of six or seven and had astonishingly vivid green eyes, which happened to be the feature Taehyung's eyes grasped first and foremost despite the darkness of the night and the heavy feeling in his eyes. Her eyes stood in high contrast to her tightly curled black hair-which stood in a bushy bunch behind her and beautiful olive complexion.
The young girl's expression gradually diverted from confusion to mortification and she fell backwards in horror.
"Sorry!" she yelled, her eyes widening into two innocent black pearls. "I thought it was my uncle Jim."
"It's quite alright," Taehyung answered. His voice softened as he looked at the girl's embarrassed face. He offered her his hand and she accepted his assistance, tentatively grasping it from the tip of her fingers.
"Zahra!" A voice called from the distance, and the girl looked excitedly in its direction. Taehyung stood there while the girl ran to a officer who appeared from the stairs to the deck. He watched as the officer walked their way looking concerned.
It was his first time seeing this particular officer. When he was introduced to the officers back in Southampton he hadn't met this person who looked too young to work on a ship such as the Titanic. He had big, round eyes and was wearing his uniform as if it was too big for him. His hair which had been cropped short gave the impression of a young school boy. Taehyung furrowed his brow in confusion.
The man strode over and and held the child by the hand. "Where were you? Your mama's looking for you everywhere!" "We're going back to your cabin Zari, can't have you running about this late at night." He brushed some brown dust off her shoulders. "Honestly, your dad's going to kill me if he finds out about you walking around the ship all by yourself, and even bumping into random people and who knows what kind of—Blimey."
A minute of silence followed the officer's exclaim.
Taehyung was the one to break it. "Sixth officer?"
