Seongwha watched as land came into sight, not moving even when they stopped and Hongjoong materialized beside him.

"You alright?" Hongjoong wondered, genuine worry evident in his voice. Seongwha pulled his eyes away from the little town they had stopped at and turned to the captain.

"Of course. I've never been here before, that's all. I've never been anywhere" Seongwha nodded. Hongjoong laid his head on Seongwha's arm.

"It's a beautiful town. Just like you" Hongjoong whispered.

"You think I'm a beautiful town?" Seongwha teased. Hongjoong flushed red and raised his head.

"I was just being nice" Hongjoong huffed.

"I know. Thank you" Seongwha buried his face in Hongjoong's hair, kissing his head. Seongwha wasn't sure what he and Hongjoong were but it didn't matter. Being on Ateez the past few weeks was the happiest that Seongwha, and his brothers, had been their entire lives. And they weren't treated any differently either. When Wooyoung, San and Yeosang played a prank by messing with the rigging, Hongjoong dragged all three into his chambers and lectured all of them. It has been Wooyoung's idea but all three were in trouble and spent the rest of the day doing all the chores around the ship. Hongjoong did not care that San and Yeosang were royalty. On his ship, they were his crew and they had to listen to him. It was slightly different though for Seongwha, because they were the same age.

"Captain! We're getting closer! Do you want us to start tying the sails?" Yunho leaned over the edge of the Crow's nest.

"Yes! Thank you, Yunho. Mingi, gather the trouble" Hongjoong tilted his head back to look up at Yunho. Mingi saluted him and ran below deck to get the others.

"If you get nervous, just stay near me. I'll show you around" Hongjoong offered.

"Thank you. Captain" Seongwha tilted his head down in a small bow, a mischievous grin spreading over his face. Hongjoong shook his head and aimed a light kick to the older boy's legs. Mingi came back up with Yeosang, San, Wooyoung, and Jongho following him.

"Alright! Here is how this is gonna go. Since you four have never been here before, I don't want you going off by yourself. So you need to pick a partner and do not leave that person's side" Hongjoong hoped the former royalty wouldn't argue. He knew they were old enough to be on their own but at the same time, they'd never been outside their own little kingdom, except one time with over fifty guards following them, so it was more just a safety precaution. Hongjoong hoped they could see that.

"Don't worry about a thing, Joong. We'll take care of them" Wooyoung linked an arm around San, pulling him close.

"Yeah. What he said" Yunho nodded, taking Mingi's hand. Yeosang let a loud squeal when Jongho pulled him closer by his chain belt. Hongjoong bit the inside of his cheek to keep from laughing at that. He had not known that Jongho was so possessive until Yeosang joined the little crew.

"Alright. Go have fun and meet back here in three days. There's just three rules: do not add to or take away from the population, and Wooyoung, please do not taunt anyone. I don't feel like breaking any of you out of jail for getting into a bar fight" Hongjoong listed.

"Oh and when you come back to the ship, you better not be drunk" The Captain added, realizing he forgot one thing.

"That's four, Joong" Wooyoung teased. Hongjoong chased him off. San rushed to keep up with his partner and soon, Yunho and Mingi, and Jongho and Yeosang walked off too. 

"Come on, I want to see everything" Seongwha pulled Hongjoong along, having no idea where they were going. It was not long before chaos erupted. And the Captain and first mate had no idea what their crew was doing.

"Come at me!" Wooyoung laughed maniacally, dodging the angry man in front of him. San was shaking his head, watching from the sidelines. He was about two seconds away from pushing through the crowd and dragging Wooyoung out of the bar.

"Come on! You can do better than that, can't ya?!" Wooyoung taunted, doing exactly what Hongjoong told him not to do. San had enough. It was time to get involved before Wooyoung's luck ran out and they both ended up getting arrested. Jongho and Yeosang had already left before they got caught up in what was going to happen.

"Wait, San!" Wooyoung complained when Sam stepped forward, throwing the smaller pirate over his shoulder and carrying him out.

"Yeah that's right! Listen to your master!" San stopped, freezing in place. He didn't know who had said that but he was going to find out. Wooyoung backed off as soon as San has set him down, watching to see what was going to happen. Wooyoung was slightly tanner than the rest of the crew and that was the entire reason for the remark from one of the guys in the bar. People with darker skin were most times owned by those with lighter. Wooyoung was similar to those people because he was tan.

"What are you going to do?" Wooyoung was slightly scared for the poor guy who said that. San clenched his fists, storming back into the bar and starting a fight.

"Go back to the ship, Wooyoung!" San ordered, looking over his shoulder. Wooyoung didn't listen and instead threw himself into the midst of the fight, no regard for his own safety or the rules that Hongjoong had set in place. For the first time in three years, a crew member of the pirate ship Ateez had broken the major rule from their captain:

Don't add to or take away from the population.
