Kidnap

The Captain did not return him to the nurse area, which left Seonghwa getting nervous. They walked straight past it, the Captain seeming to not notice, or having a different destination in plan, which left him worried about what would come to be. He felt shivers take over his body, but tried to just focus on walking, which hard enough with the constant swaying of the boat, and the fact that it made his head almost dizzy as well. He expected it, of course, but that did not mean that it was enjoyable. The sheer complications that he seemed to be having doing basic things was annoying at best, and it left him feeling quite helpless, not that he was not helpless anyways. He was still somewhat confused at what his role was here, and until he figured that part out he was kind of screwed as anything could potentially cause him to get into major trouble and potentially lose his life.

The Captain pulled himself up a set of about four stairs and opened a door, ushering Seonghwa into it, almost shoving him slightly, leaving Seonghwa to startle as the Captain was behind him, unease settled deep inside of his bones. He did not like having dangerous people at his back. Whirling around he saw the Captain closing the door and leaning against it, staring at him. Seonghwa, unable to keep his gaze for too long, slide his eyes away and looked about the room that he was effectively trapped in. It was a rather small room, but it was...to put it lightly, a total mess. There was papers everywhere, scattered over the floor, and a chair was upended as well. In one corner, barely noticeable under the mess, there was a bed...something which gave Seonghwa a sense of despair. He had no idea what it was that the Captain was playing at, but he did not think he wanted to know either. He took a couple of steps away from the Captain, increading the distance between them.

"Why exactly am I here? And...And where is here?" Seonghwa asked, his voice quiet and trembling in worry. He could not stop the anxiety that flooded through him at the danger that seemed to be blaring through him. He wished that he had not asked for the Captain in the first place now. Rubbing his wrists he kept his eyes on his own skin, worrying about the potential consequences that would come from this mistake. Yeosang had tried to warn him too, and he had ignored the other. Such a stupid thing to do, now that he thought about it. Yeosang clearly knew about how things worked much better than he did, hell, he did not even know his own self before they captured him. Now he was hoping on the goodwill of pirates.

He was not sure what was expected of him, and Seonghwa was not really sure how much of this situation he could realiably take without going somewhat insane. It was bad enough that he found out he was being called by the King for seemingly no reason, and now finding out he was a secreted Prince, and on top of that he was being held essentially hostage with no idea what exactly he was supposed to be doing.

"This is my Cabin, of course, I would have thought even a pretty boy like yourself would know something so simple about ships." Seonghwa frowned. I already told him I do not know these things, why...why would he expect me to know anything like that? He could not say this before the other was speaking once more. "Of course, perhaps not, I seem to forget you were quite isolated, despite the nearby sea." Seonghwa swallowed, not sure what that meant, but also not daring to question the other more. "Needless to say, this is where you are going to be staying for the foreseeable future. I cannot very well have you lingering about the ship, and beyond that, I also cannot shove you in the healing room for the end of time." Seongwha furrowed his brows. What about underneath? I know it is there, unless they forgot that was where they put me at the first place. Not that I want to go back but..."Something confusing you, little dove?" Hongjoong asked, the Captain having suddenly gotten so much closer, leaving scarecely a foot between them. Seonghwa couldn't help but stiffen at the sudden quite close proximity. He could practically smell the Captain. He stumbled backwards, trying to...he was not sure, but knowing he needed to stay a bit farther away from the Captain.

"I...No, no nothing is confusing. I was just processing things is all." Seonghwa slightly lied. The Captain laughed, a pretty sound, leaving Seonghwa dragging his gaze up from the floor once more to the Pirate. He was surprised such a happy and innocent sound could come from someone who was so clearly sadistic. He knew that this was dangerous, but Seonghwa was unfortuantely unable to stop his heart from racing through his chest.
