Ch/: 9

"Stop what?" Jungkook was now blinded by his ever increasing anger.

"Stop getting mad, breaking up with Eunji was for your own good." Namjoon scoffed, slightly shaking his head.

"Who says I broke up with her?" Jungkook glared at the trio.

Namjoon, Jin and Jiwhoon gave Jungkook a look of bewilderment.

"Uh, kook? Captain? Sir, are you serious or are you just being stupid right now?" Jiwhoon tried to gesture with his eyes to the small male, still being held up by Jungkook.

"Jungkook. Are you really going to tell me that you're planning to leap back into Eunji's arms again? After she betrayed you?" Jin sighed.

"I've done it before." Jungkook plainly said.

Taehyung, witnessing the conversation, he understood the most part, as he read it in his worn out books before. He felt an unknown feeling, it was new to him, as he didn't understand why he felt his heart hurt at Jungkook's words. Small tears pooled at the corner of his eyes, his fiddling stopping as he froze.

"Let's just eat." Jiwhoon spoke, sighing disappointedly at the topic of the conversation.

"Yeah." Namjoon agreed, Jin silently agreeing as well.

Jungkook loosened up a bit, but his hardened gaze still held anger in its features. His eye twitched when he realized that there was only one more chair, as the fifth one had been broken the other day. He set Taehyung down on the last chair, after strongly ripping the male's limbs away.

Taehyung only said nothing in response, and only hung his head down. He felt uncomfortable by the atmosphere of the room, which was thick with tension. He fidgeted with his fingers, not knowing if he should do anything. Although he had the sudden urge to run away, run from the situation he was in.

Deciding to take a leap of faith, he stood up suddenly, snatching a loaf of bread from the basket. He ran quickly, exiting through the door with no hesitation. The trio only sighed while Jungkook just blankly stared at the open door.

The pirate felt no remorse whatsoever, not caring if the siren might just decide to jump back into the sea. He took the now-empty seat, grabbing some food and munching it down. Jiwhoon only sighed, his head turning to look at Jungkook, then the door. He pitied the siren, as he saw small, faint bruises as Taehyung ran away.

Taking a full plate of food, he went to go after Taehyung, leaving the excruciating stuffy room. Wandering down familiar halls, he slowly treaded on the wooden floorboards, noticing little crumbs arranged in a trail. He followed the clue, eventually finding himself on the deck, greeted by a warm breeze that tickled his cheeks.

He saw the siren at the edge of the ship, the royal-blue locks swaying in the wind. He carefully approached Taehyung, not wanting to scare the poor creature. Within a few meters, he stopped suddenly, hearing a deep voice smooth as the finest silk, filling up his ears into a trancelike state.

Taehyung wasn't aware of the human behind him, as he sang the song that Min-Jun always sang to him. He also was extremely unaware of the fact that he didn't know what he, a siren, was capable of. Every note, every word and lyric that rolled off his tongue put Jiwhoon more more into a trance. He just sang along with the small roars of the waves below, as if calling out to them.

"Where's Jiwhoon? He should be done by now." Namjoon stood up to clear the table, as everyone had finished eating.

"Don't know, and don't care." Jungkook strode out of the room, leaving Jin and Namjoon to clean up the rest of the table. They exchanged looks of disapproval towards the younger, not liking the horrendous personality that he had.

"Honestly, I think I'm going to be on break for a year after this." Jin said, as the younger was making him feel more tired and less energetic.

"Me too, I haven't had a nice break in a while." Namjoon mumbled, sweeping the rest of the crumbs off the table. He set the rest of the pile of dishes that was needed to be washed by Jin.

All of a sudden the ship rocked, swaying back and forth slightly, causing temporary misbalance from Jin and Namjoon. The sways increased, and the sound of waves hit violently against the ship, and the glass started to clatter.

"What the fuck is happening?!" Jin gripped onto the counter, trying not to fall over.

"Great! Just our luck!" Namjoon sarcastically said, seeing items flying off the shelves.

The wind howled, fiercely pushing against the ship as it pounded on the windows. With both the sea and the wind growing stronger, things started to fly, glass shattering into dangerous shards, and the wood creaked loudly.

Outside, the sails were on the verge of being torn away from the masts, sea-water being thrown up onto the decks.

Taehyung was screaming, trying to hold Jiwhoon away from the edge of the ship. It was hard to keep balance, with the ship leaning heavily on either side.

Jiwhoon was in a trancelike state, his body willing to walk off the ship and into the sea. His mind was trying to break though the spell, as he watched the scene unfold right in front of his eyes.

Hard footsteps echoed across the ship, the door being ripped off its hinges, as if it was paper.

Namjoon and Jin scrambled over to Jiwhoon, hauling him away from the edge and Taehyung.

Jungkook on the other hand, was not happy over the current situation. He practically stomped upon the splintered planks, almost denting it with the heel of his boot. He yanked Taehyung's arm, not caring if he hurt the older.

Taehyung was terrified, he was oblivious of his own mess of the events of the past five minutes.

Yes, this happened somehow within five minutes.

The enraged pirate captain slammed the human-siren on the ground, straddling his waist to pin his arms above his head with one hand, while the other pressed a gleaming dagger to the pale skin on his cheek.

Taehyung cried, breaking into a sob as his shoulder and wrists ache with a stinging pain. He tried to kick Jungkook, but found his legs become useless as it would only hit the air.

"Y'know, maybe I should just skin you alive...right here, right now." Jungkook held a dark glint in his eyes, a shiver of pleasure running through his body at the thought of the other dead, and skinless.

I'm gonna to end this really short, I might change the length of these chapters. But it will always at least be more than 1000 words.

Thank you all for 400+ reads.
The fact that each chapter has a steady number makes me happy.
