Hwaseong

I opened my eyes slowly as the bright light that shone in from my window woke me up. I sat up with teary eyes as I hoped for everything that happened to be a dream, that I would be home, in my bed, hearing my parents call my name.

"Hwaseong". My eyes shot open, staring at the person that called my name, the hope I had of seeing my father at the doorway vanished when I got met by a black haired male that stood frozen with a tray of food in his hands.

"I'm sorry if I startled you, I'm jongho, my rooms across yours... number 8" he mentioned with a small smile, to which I nodded, watching the older with caution as he set the tray of food down on the nightstand.

"You should eat, seonghwa will come and get you soon" he said and I looked at him with a puzzled expression. "Why" I asked in a hushed voice as I felt quite shy around him. "Hongjoong wanted to speak to you, didn't he" jongho replied to which I nodded, watching the older leave with a small smile.

As soon as the dark haired male left, I turned to look at the tray, seeing all the goods decorating the silver tray. I took a sip of the nice warm tea that slightly burnt my tongue, but it didn't bother me as the flavour of lemon and honey exploded in my mouth.

"Wow, I didn't know tea could be this good" I giggled to myself as I placed the half empty mug back down on the tray to taste the freshly baked bread that layed there on the plate waiting to be eaten.

"I hope you're enjoying your food" someone said, causing me to jump slightly from the sudden unexpected voice of a male. "It's really good, Jongho Is a great cook" I answered with a smile, seeing seonghwa laugh at my statement.

"It's nice knowing that you enjoy my cooking, I should cook more for you" the older giggled as embarrassment flashed on my face making me hide my head in my hands, feeling my bed dip a bit in front of me.

"I made jongho bring it up to you as we all usually eat together, but I assumed that you could feel uncomfortable eating with all of us" seonghwa said, taking both my hands and moving them away from my face. "Anyway, get ready, The captain would like to speak with you".

"Come in" I heard hongjoong say from inside the captains cabin. I entered the spacious room behind seonghwa, looking at the beautiful contrast of red mixing with the wooden walls and furniture.

"Good luck" seonghwa whispered as he shut the door behind me. My eyes travelled to the man who was sitting behind his desk, looking at some papers in his hand. He slowly looked up at me with a smile, gesturing for me to take a seat.
