"So what do we do?" Seonghwa asked aloud. Not really directed it to anyone. Just hoping one person had an idea.
"Umm, why don't we ask Hongjoong? Isn't he the one who found the damned thing?" San pondered.
All eyes went to Hongjoong for what had felt like the millionth time that day.
"First of all, I didn't find it. It was given to me. I don't know, maybe we sit in a circle around it and hold hands or something?" Hongjoong shrugged not really knowing how to actually use it. I would seem the instructions forgot the most important part. Maybe it was on purpose.
"No offense, Joong-dear, but that sounds stupid," Seonghwa clapped him on the sholder and leaned forward to the coffee table where the Cromer resided. Taking it into his hands, studying it over.
"Ah! look here!" Seonghwa pointed to a little golden plaque attached to one of the rounded ends of the hourglass.
"I can't read it I don't have my glasses on," Seonghwa said, handing it to Wooyoung to read for him.
"Sit in a circle and hold hands," Wooyoung read aloud to the group raising his eyebrows.
"Well I'll be damned," Hongjoong stated, amazed at himself for guessing correctly first try.
☆
The group all sat on the floor now, hands interlocked. The Cromer placed in the center of the group.
"So, I guess we just close our eyes and hope for the best?" Hongjoong said, making it sound kinda like a question.
"I mean, that seems like a good place to start," Yeosang said, shrugging and pulling the hands of Jongho and mingi a little when he did, too.
Everyone let their eyelids fall and close, relaxing themselves into the comfortable silence. Hongjoong focused in.
'Okay.. I don't really know what I'm doing, but I've got this. Just....'
His thoughts trailed off, he let out a deep sigh. He began to picture something. Anything. The visage of a pirate ship? In the sky?
'We'll definitely know if we make it or not....'
