My first Wine experience

Y/N POV

"Y/N a little help here please!" Hoseok called out. Me who was walking to the residences turned around and saw Hoseok carrying a big wooden crate. I immediately rushed toward him and pulled some of the weight. We carefully carried it to the desk and placed it with a thud.

"Thanks! I thought I would drop it and ruin it all." Hoseok said.

"No problem oppa! Anything else I can help you with?" I asked. Hoseok shook his head. "Okay then! I'll get going...I have people waiting for me" I said. There was a brief moment of confusion on his face before I turned around and started skipping towards my destination.

I was invited to hang out with a few of the crewmates of the S.S.Serendipity as they had a day off after the previous mission. I have about a few hours before my evening sword fighting lesson with Yeonjun. Taehyung was also taking a break today. The crew mates are gathered at the beach for a little relaxing time. I reached the spot and saw a small crowd laughing at someone's joke.

Beomgyu was in the centre of the crowd. He spotted me immediately. "Look who's finally here! Ms. Clumsy Fingers!" He said and caused everyone to snicker. I rolled my eyes but still smiled.

"Haha as if you were any better on your first mission! Yeonjunie told me that you almost peed your pants the first time you held a gun!" I retorted. Beomgyu stood shocked as the others burst into raging laughter.

"Oh I remember that! I was there!" One of the crewmates choked out.

"Ahhhh! How could Yeonjun hyung do this to me? He promised not to tell anyone! And you can't blame me for holding a gun at 13 and being scared because I had been threatened my whole life with it." He whined, pouting.

Though he meant it as a joke, it made me stop laughing. He was right. He had lived with guns surrounding him, ready to kill him if he made even the slightest mistake. Of course he would be scared to hold one after a narrow escape from such torment. I walked near him and gripped his shoulder.

"Hey...I'm sorry..I didn't mean to hurt you or anything." I whispered. He looked at me with an angry pout. Seeing my genuine face, he softened.

"It's no big deal, I was just joking...you don't need to feel bad about it..." he whispered back. I gripped it once again and let go with a soft smile.

"Alright, enough roasting! Let's carry on with the actual reason we are gathered here. We are here to enjoy a little bit and relax, taking a break from the dock, ships and work in general. And guess what we were treated with!" Beomgyu exclaimed and held up a bottle of English Red Wine. The entire crowd cheered loudly.

I held back from drinking. I have actually never drank alcohol before, and did not want to right now anyway. I had training after this and I needed to stay sharp. Everyone on this island hates the Englishmen, but that doesn't necessarily mean they should hate the products of the country, especially Wine.

Everyone got a little bit. Surprising to see how much class they actually had, drinking with glasses and all. Even Beomgyu had a few sips, which I was not sure was allowed. Every time on the dinner table, the Captains had rum for everyone except me and Jungkook, because of the rule Captain Jin imposed that alcohol was reserved for adults, and only a small amount should be consumed during meals.

I kept staring at him in curiosity and a tiny bit of worry. What if he got into trouble with the Captains? Specifically with Captain Park? Then he caught me staring and turned his eyes to me.

"It's fine! Wine doesn't have that much alcohol..." he said. I was still weary of it and looked at the glass in his hand in doubt. Beomgyu rolled his eyes and refilled the glass. I thought it probably wasn't a good idea to drink too much...what if there is an emergency and they had to go?
