Kidnap

8

Seonghwa was not allowed to just be alone in the medical room, of course, and he had to say he was rather impressed with their Captain's consistency, but he could say that he was somewhat surprised by the seriousness that it would seem that this person had to ensuring that he was back to full health. He was not really sure he wanted to know what the other would do when he found him healthy once more, if he had ever truly been in the first place, but he could be grateful all the same. Despite the fact that he was really not a fan of those stupid liquids and pills that YeoSang seemed to be more than willing to force down his throat. He had to take whatever it was that Yeosang gave him as he really did not have a choice. Ever so often he would catch glimpses of people that would restock Yeosang with broths and soups that the Medic used to feed him considering HongJoong had strict orders that his hands remained tied.

It had made for more than a few upsetting and frustrating struggles during Seonghwa's stay on the boat, particularly when he needed to use the restroom, which was difficult at best and humiliating. He did not know what more to do though, so he kept the tears in as Yeosang continually aided him and stayed by his side. He knew that it was because this Captain of theirs, as illusive as he seemed to be, was determined to keep him healthy for some nefarious purpose. He did not understand what was going on, but he had somewhat made peace with the fact that he had been lied to.

Well, not really, but what more was he supposed to do? He was stuck on this pirate boat, and despite what he may want or what he may desire to be untrue, it did not stop a few main fact that he could not go anywhere, and to try to be defiant and fight against these pirates was more than just stupid, it was pointless. Seonghwa knew better than to expect that they were just going to let him go, no, they had taken too much effort to kidnap him in the first place. Furthermore, it was useless to hope about such things when he knew that it was just not going to happen in the first place. He was lucky that he had not been killed on sight, as it was clear that these people were not only well known pirates, but some sort of sadists as well.

He did not know what to make of the entire situation. All that he could do is go along with it and hope that things did not spiral into a deeper hole than what he had already found himself in. It was bad enough that he had to accept that their Captain was likely correct in what he had said about the King and the Prince. Which also meant that he was probably correct about him. It did make sense, but Seonghwa was still trying to accept the fact that his King had willingly lied to him, and only decided to let him return at the behest of some unknown brother and if what Yeosang had claimed was true about nobles...Seonghwa should be thanking these Pirates for taking him in time.

It was hard to accept, but he had a whole week now to be forced into accepting the reality of his situation. He was being held captive by a group of dangerous people that were clearly somewhat well known despite the fact that he himself had no idea who they were, and Yeosang did not really seem willing to indulge his questions regarding the subject. He had only caught glimpses of a couple of the other crew members, and they usually were removed immediately the moment that Yeosang realized that he was awake, however there was at least one other crewmate on the ship barring the Captain and Yeosang, even if he was uncertain who they were, or what their roles were, and he supposed he may never really know.

The other thing that he had to make comfort with, or at least peace with, was that he was not going to get anywhere with the way that things were. The Captain had not seen to him at all, and Seonghwa felt himself getting into this thought that he was sort of stuck at the moment. By Captain's orders his mobility was severely limited, he was being forced to down things that Seonghwa had no idea what...what they contained. For all he knew they could be poisoning him slowly. It was not as though he cared all that much about that, considering his entire life as he knew it was sort of...dashed into nothing. All thanks to this Captain guy.

So he had made his decision quite determined going into his second week of being confined to the medical area of the ship. He wanted to talk to the Captain, and he had said as much to Yeosang, who merely stared at him with wide and somewhat scared eyes. Scared for him, not of him, a rather important distinction. Seonghwa already knew why Yeosang thought it was a bad idea for him to have contact with the Captain, and considering the last time Seonghwa had seen the man he had almost been whipped probably within an inch of his life he could not say that he was all that eager to set up a meeting regarding those circumstances either. However, it was the only way that things were going to move forwards, and Seonghwa really could not stand being tied down to a bed ninety percent of the day, it was driving him slowly insane.

"You want to talk to the Captain?" Yeosang repeated, as though he were hoping perhaps that he was hearing wrong, however a swift and determined nod was his answer and he could not help but sigh out in frustration. "You do realize that is not exactly the safest thing for you correct?" He shouldn't care, but for some reason Yeosang did. He did not want HongJoong to break Seonghwa like he normally did to his other prisoners.
