Sham of the Sea

Chapter 18

Jennie kept giving Y/N amused glances, and it confused Y/N to no end.

They had helped Ryujin bring Sana into the infirmary, the woman had been shot in the shoulder and kept whining about her unmarred skin now being mutilated by scars. Nayeon kept assuring her that people loved someone with tough-looking scars and Sana's beauty took no damage in this.

Ryujin just snorted about it all. As long as Sana was complaining, she was fine.

Nayeon had also needed stitches, one nasty cut on her thigh probably stopping her from work for a few days. When they had cut off the remains of her pant leg Y/N had surprisedly seen some tattoos spreading out over the woman's skin, black ink decorating her beautifully.

Y/N was standing next to Jennie as they both leaned against a wall in the little room, the captain adamant about not letting her leave just like that. Y/N did not know exactly what the captain wanted from her, but she was ready to talk after saving her life at least.

"Y/N, can you sleep with me tonight, I might need a warm body to heat me up." Sana was pouting at Y/N where she was laying down in the bed, Ryujin still busy with patching up her shoulder.

Dahyun gave a short hum where she was sitting on Nayeon's good leg.

Y/N had made some observations regarding the closeness of the crew members. She was pretty sure that some of them were sometimes finding pleasure with each other just like she and Jennie had and it even seemed ordinary on board.

Well, just because she never often saw two women together before doesn't mean it was unnatural for them to have this kind of relationship. It even made sense here, without the constant presence of man to flirt with.

Y/N focused on Sana again when the pirate gave a needy whine.

The woman was irresistible, her big and begging eyes directed at Y/N only and her lower lip wobbling with a pout, making her seem oh so young and cuddly.

What kind of pirate was this?

"I think you're asking the wrong one, Sana." Ryujin chided gently, nodding at Jennie who was leaning next to Y/N with crossed arms and a smirk playing on her lips. Her piercings glinted deviously in the light.

"Come oooon, I will be good for you. Pretty please? I guess I can keep you warm too." Sana winked as she said the second sentence, making Y/N cock her head curiously. Was Sana trying to relay some secret message? This girl certainly failed there.

"What is your fucking problem, Sana?!" Dahyun's sudden yell made everybody suck in a breath, exchanging wide-eyed glances.

Sana doesn't look bothered in the least, giving her friend a flat look. "What, Y/N's hot, you have eyes, do you not? How about you use them for once?"

"Is whoring yourself out to everyone on sight your way of deciding who is hot?!"

Y/N was not sure what that word meant, but it did not sound pleasant at all, so she believed it to be one of the slang words they used.

Sana gasped mockingly at that. "What, you got a problem with that? Since when was fucking people a crime? I did not notice?"

Y/N worriedly looked between them, Dahyun had stood up by now, not caring for the calming hand Nayeon had placed on her back.

"You gotta draw a line! This is not coping, Sana!"

"Are you worried for me right now because that point is not getting across!"

They both were seething with rage, the room suddenly uncomfortably tense and Y/N felt oddly out of place. She shuffled on her feet nervously, wishing for Jennie to allow her out.
