Yoongi thrashed and screamed in the two pirates tight grip. He could already feel their calloused fingers leaving hand-print bruises on his upper arms as they pulled him towards the ship. They grunted and cursed under their breath as they struggled to get him on the ship.
Finally they boarded and the two pirates threw Yoongi onto the deck. The wooden planks grazed the bare skin on his arms and legs and Yoongi winced at the thought of picking splinters out of his skin.
"Ye ready yet?" A coarse voice rang around the ship and Yoongi turned his head to see a burly man manning the wheel.
The few pirates that had stayed on the ship began to converse and Yoongi's gaze shifted to the side of the ship. No one was keeping an eye on him - maybe if he was quick enough he would be able to jump over and make a run for it without them knowing.
Hesitantly, he got to his feet, making sure to keep his eyes on the surrounding pirates. He took careful steps to the side, watching the pirates who had foolishly turned their backs to him.
They didn't seem to notice him attempting to escape so with one last glance at the occupied pirates he sprinted towards the side. He was about to jump down when a face popped up and scared him. Yoongi let out a scream at the sudden appearance of another pirate and he received a toothy grin from the pirate. He climbed over the side of the ship before looking over at the other pirates who were neglecting their duties.
"Why aren't you idiots keeping an eye on the boy? Captain Jung will be pissed off if you let the prized possession get away," Yoongi's gaze focused on the pirate and he noticed that he didn't look nearly as old as the other pirates and was dressed rather nicely.
"Oi, shut it. We ain't taking orders from no posh boy," the other chuckled and shook his head.
He pulled Yoongi up to his feet and threw the boy over his shoulders. Yoongi was going to protest but he decided against it. "Fine then," the boy shrugged his shoulders as he walked over to a door of what Yoongi assumed to be the Captain's cabin. "You guys can just face the wrath of the Captain when I tell him you guys are incapable of doing your job."
The pirates snarled at the boy and took a few steps closer, baring their swords. Yoongi felt fear well up inside him but before they could take any action the boy sent them a grin and entered the cabin, closing the door behind him.
"Hey, Jung. I got the boy here for you!"
Yoongi let out a groan as the other ungracefully threw him onto a bed in the far right corner. Surprisingly it was fairly soft for what he assumed a pirates bed to feel like but that didn't stop all of the air from escaping his lungs upon impact.
The boy tssked as he looked around the room before placing his gaze on the scared prince. "Looks like the Captain isn't here right now, he must be downstairs in the kitchen or something." He began organising some documents on the desk, mumbling to himself as he did so. "He better get up here soon. We'll have the leave before the Royal Navy catches up to us..."
"Who are you?" Yoongi didn't suspect the boy to hear his wavering voice as he quietly asked. But he did and sent Yoongi a smirk over his shoulder.
"The Captain's helper, right-hand man, whatever you want to call it. I do the dirty work that Jung is too much of a pussy to do." He chuckled under his breath and Yoongi wondered how the boy was so easily able to talk bad about his Captain. Wouldn't he get in trouble? "But you can call me Jungkook. Here."
The boy - Jungkook - threw Yoongi a silk white button up long sleeve shirt and a pair of navy blue shirts, that Yoongi thought were little too short.
"Put these on. Your current outfit is a bit," Jungkook waved his hand at Yoongi's tattered and dirty clothes with a grimace on his lips. "And we want you to look good for Captain Jung, don't we?"
Yoongi didn't respond and just stared down at the clothes. He had to admit they were nice clothes for a bunch of rough-house pirates.
"I'll leave you to change. Captain Jung will be back soon, just stay on the bed after you change. Don't touch anything." Jungkook sent him a pointed look.
He swiftly left, leaving Yoongi alone in the cold cabin. He gripped the clothes in his hands before sighing and bowing his head. Looking out he large window that covered nearly the entire back wall of the cabin he saw the castle up in flames. His heart ached at the thought that there was nothing he could do to help.
What about Seokjin? Did Namjoon get him to safety? And his father? Was he okay? So many questions were running through his head and he had to fight to keep back tears.
Though he wasn't quite successful and a few stray ones managed to hit the white silk fabric in his hands. With shaky hands he stood up and began undressing himself.
The white silk felt soft against his skin and slid easily onto his shoulders. Before he buttoned up the shirt he pulled off his pants and held up the shorts. A frown formed on his lips, judging from the size they would only come up to mid-thigh.
Reluctantly he bent over to pull the shorts up his legs when the sound of the door bursting open and a loud voice rang around the cabin.
"Aah~ Is this our dear Princ-"
Yoongi felt heart arise to his cheeks and let out a small curse. He stood up straight so his butt wasn't sticking out in the mans direction but refused to turn around. He didn't wish for - who he assumed was the Captain - to see his embarrassed red face.
"Oh~ Sorry for intruding, well..." the man trailed off but Yoongi could sense the smirk in his voice. "Not really. It is my cabin after all."
He heard the door close and the man began to walk in his direction. "Can't have any of the men see you in this state. How inappropriate would that be."
Yoongi was turned around but he kept his head down. His blush increased when the man leant down to pull Yoongi's shorts up. The man chuckled and made eye contact with Yoongi as he buttoned up the short shorts. He continued to do up Yoongi's shirt, sending the blushing boy a few small smiles.
"You're Yoongi, am I correct?"
He nodded, hesitantly returning a smile.
"I'm Captain Jung, as Jungkook probably told you earlier. But you can just call me Hoseok, okay?"
