Somewhere Between the Sea and the Sky.

Episode 0: Chapter 26

Jung Wooyoung.

A strong, talented pirate, master of the whip and throwing knives. His tanned skin was full of scars, but still made an awesome match with the silver hair that made him unmistakable.

The Aurora's boatswain was one of the youngest in the crew, but probably the most experienced pirate among them.

He was born a pirate, during his life Wooyoung saw a lot of islands, kingdoms and traditions. He also made a lot of friends, something strange for a sea rover, but Wooyoung was an incredibly charming one for sure.

And yet, there he was.

He was probably the most calm one with the situation, but being in a pirate camp surrounded by unknown guys wasn't his preferred plan.

Don't get it wrong, Wooyoung loved unknown, strong and attractive guys. But he was bored, and he hated boredom so much he couldn't even think about the other things.

What could he do? Where were his crewmates?

The silver haired took a look around him. The captain didn't return from the ship yet, the church boy got tired of just following him and he couldn't see the rest of his companions.

He wasted a lot of time just sitting and watching people work, but it was time for him to do his job.

He got up, stretched a bit and took a deep breath.

"Okay, where's the blondie?"

He asked himself, trying to find the tall, fancy lieutenant. A lot of guys were working around him, so he just approached the closest one.

"Hey, have you seen the fancy guy?"

"Hah?" The other didn't understand well who the other was looking for. "Chenle? He should be—"

"No, no. Our fancy guy. You know, the one with the cool sword."

"Oh!" Then he nodded, he got it. "I saw him on the forest area, right behind the—"

"JAEMIN! GET BACK TO WORK!" Someone shouted to the boy.

"ONE SECOND, I'M GOING—" He stared at Wooyoung for a second. "Close to the firewood reserves! You'll find him there!"

"Uh." Wooyoung couldn't say much before the boy left. "Okay? THANK YOU." He shouted so the other could hear it.

He waited there for a few seconds, didn't know if the other would randomly shout anything relevant.

When he made sure Jaemin left, the boatswain started to move again. The firewood reserves, he had no idea where to find the firewood reserves.

Man, the camp was huge and those guys were still working on new things, he was curious about how it would look after some more time.

He started to walk, finding a lot of curious places. What caught his attention the most was a pond, a beautiful pond with clean water and precious fishes in it.

Hongjoong would like it, he thought.

He wanted to touch the water, the animals swimming in elegant circles were calling him, it was hypnotic. He got closer, approached his hand to it and—

"OH."

He shouted when he saw something close to the pond. The damn firewood.

Wooyoung started to run towards it. What was Seonghwa doing there anyways? It was right next to the forest entrance, maybe he was training there.

He looked around him.

How hard could it be to find a tall blonde guy?

The boatswain didn't doubt a second and entered the forest, he knew the lieutenant and his need for space and tranquility, he got easily stressed if he trained around people.
