"Joong?" Seonghwa called, knocking on the door gently as he opened it. Hongjoong looked up at him, gesturing for him to come in.

"Yeah?" He asked, looking back down at his map, marking the best routes to travel next.

"Uh-i have something to talk to you about" Seonghwa said, sitting in one of the chairs. He waited for Hongjoong to look back up before he continued, "so Mingi told me to tell you that we might need to go back to land for a few days..." He finished, waiting for the reaction. Hongjoong took a deep breath and calmly looked up, folding his hands in front of him.

"Did he say why?" He asked, still looking at Seonghwa. Seonghwa fidgeted in his seat and nodded. Hongjoong may have been his best friend but he was still intimidating, especially in times like this. Seonghwa knew that he liked sea more than land and yet, lately they'd spent more time on land than sea. It was making Hongjoong touchy.

"Uh-yeah, something about a big storm blowing in. He'd probably be able to explain better because if we're honest, I didnt really understand anything that he said to me and right now I'm just saying whatever I remember..." Seonghwa trailed off with a sheepish smile, hand rubbing the back of his neck. Hongjoong sighed and nodded.

"Alright, get San to replace Mingi and have Mingi come speak to me" Hongjoong ordered and Seonghwa nodded, standing and walking quickly out the door. When the door was shut he let out a sigh, relieved that he wasnt yelled at. That was now Mingi's job. He walked towards the bunk room, knocking before opening the door. San and Wooyoung sat in the floor playing some kind of game.

"Hey San, I need you for a moment" San nodded and stood, kissing Wooyoung's forehead softly before meeting Seonghwa at the door. They walked out of the room and headed towards the wheel deck.

"What did you need me for?" San asked curiously.

"I need you to replace Mingi for a moment while he talks to Joong" Seonghwa answered, climbing the first step up to the platform.

"I'll do it but i wanna ask, why didnt you just do it?"

"Always so many questions" Seonghwa sighed before continuing, "I didn't do it because I was gonna try and start on food. You wanna eat tonight, dont you?" San nodded amd they comtinued to walk on silence. Mingi looked up when the pair approached the top.

"How did it go?" He asked, looking at Seonghwa, who just gave him a small smile and shrugged.

"Well...you have to go talk to him now because I couldnt remember everything that you told me earlier and now Hongjoong is aggravated because we have to go back to land after having left barely two months ago and now its your turn to deal with him." Seonghwa said all in breath, tensing his shoulders afterwards.

"What, why?!" Mingi exclaimed, throwing one of his hands in the air, "I sent you to talk to him because I didnt want to and now I still have to?!"

"Wait, hold on" Seomgjwa started, looking at Mingi with his arms crossed, "you sent me to talk to Joong because you didnt want to deal with him. You just threw me to the dogs, didnt you? You didnt care if I got yelled at as long it wasnt you. Wow, I'm kind of offended right now" San rolled his eyes at the older's dramatics.

"Yeah, its not my fault! You're his best friend, hes less likely to throw hard things at you when he yells!" Mingi exclaimed, trying to defend himself. Seonghwa just rolled his eyes and sighed.

"Hmph,...whatever, you still have to talk to him anyway" he muttered, sticking his tongue out afterwards. San rolled his eyes again. Sometimes these people acted like childern and they called him a baby. Right now he thought it shouldve been the other way around.
