❝letters to no one❞

"You don't understand I have to go see him," jimin cries out, trying to wrestle his way out of the room but Hoseok is holding him still with all his might. There's cracks of whips coming from outside and grunts of pain which only makes him even more frantic to get to him. "Why are they doing that to him, he's the captain," Jimin cries as he gives up, his back his numb but he has the will to go save him.

"He's doing it for you," Hoseok sighs, looking down at the floor. "He's taking your punishment."

"This is harder than I expected," he mumbles, scratching the back of his neck.

"I deserve it, I deserve the stripes," he cries, hiding his face in his hands. The surgeon had cleaned his wounds with salt water as he insisted, he healed fast, he's not human, he wished Yoongi would understand that he would have taken it and that he could heal his wounds with the energy of the waters

Hoseok tilts his head, "What?"

"I could take it, I can heal, he's so stupid!" He screams out in frustration and worry as he hears the commotion outside. "He's going to be hurt, I can't let that happen again," jimin cries.

"What do you mean again?" Hoseok asks, grabbing Jimin by the shoulders.

"I dream of it, I dream of him sometimes when I'm not with him, it feels so real all the time and I feel so sad, I can't let him hurt anymore, let me go to him."

"I can't, I'll take you to his quarters, you're not going to want to see him," Hoseok says, grabbing Jimin's wrist and tugging him out onto the deck. Jimin tried pulling away to go look at Yoongi but Hoseok is dragging him as best as he can. "I need to show you something," he says, his eyes wavering and Jimin looks at him with worried eyes.

"I don't know what will happen if I show you this but I want to," Hoseok says as they walk into the captain's quarters, Hoseok placing the siren down on the bed before he walks to the bookshelf. He searches through the endless amounts of books and scrolls.

"What are you looking for?" Jimin asks softly.

"A letter written from that prince, about his love, there's two letters that are found in some books, captain just never came around to reading them but I think they're something you should look at together," hoseok says as he pulls out a golden trimmed book, opening a specific page where two letters are stuck between the pages. The pirate shuts the book and slides it back in the shelf, walking over with the two letters in his hands. Truthfully, he doesn't know what showing them the letters will do. What if it ruins everything?

"What did they use to whip him?"

"Cat o'nine tails, it's a weapon made out of these knots... I don't think we should be talking about that though, not now."

Jimin's about to open his mouth to speak but the door flies open and Yoongi walks in, cringing in pain. He's red, his back feeling like it's on fire, his eyes watery with unshed tears. "Oh my god," Jimin cries out, jumping up from the bed and running over to him, instead of wrapping his arms around him in a relieved hug, he cups Yoongi's face in his hands. "I'm so sorry this happened," he cries out, kissing Yoongi all over his face. "You're such an idiot! Why would you do that for me!" He screams after, causing Yoongi to stare with wide, doe eyes at the outburst.

"You're a fool!" Jimin cries out.

"I was trying to be a good mate," Yoongi says, confused by jimin's anger.
