Kim Hongjoong, captain of the Aurora. Everyone of the high seas knows him as the Pirate King. He's as handsome as he is cunning. His crew, called Ateez, are just as sly. Park Seonghwa, the first mate and lover of the beautiful captain. The two pirates grew up as kids together. They were the best of friends always getting into trouble and mischief, terrorizing the neighbours. In their teens Hongjoong decided he wanted to join the navy.
The two men were deeply in love so where one went, the other followed happily. Aboard their navy ship, the (insert name here), the pair met Kang Yeosang, Jung Wooyoung, Choi San and Jongho (brothers), Song Mingi and Jeong Yunho. They'd gotten really close really quickly. They'd tell themselves '8 makes one team'. It became apparent that no matter what happened to one, it would happen to the others too.
One night, in their cabin, Hongjoong had Seonghwa pinned on the floor. Both were a giggling mess. "You're my beautiful star, Joongie." Seonghwa whispered looking up to his lover on top of him. The light of the candles dancing on both their faces. Hongjoong blushed. "Stop making me blush, Hwa! I can't focus on making you feel good if you put me into submission." Joong whined. Seonghwa just smiled as he moved his head up to connect his lips to his beautiful lover.
They were interrupted as someone began banging on the cabin door. Both men jumped apart and grabbed a sheet to cover themselves up. The door was practically kicked open as their friends barged in. They all tried speaking at once. Nothing was to be understood. Hongjoong too charge in raising a hand to quiten the men down. He demanded that Yeosang explain why his private time with his lover was so rudely interrupted.
"I heard talk of the captain knowing of your relationship. If it's true that he knows, you both are going to be discharged and labeled as rogue!" Yeosang quickly spoke in a hushed shout. Hongjoong and Seonghwa'e faces immediately drained of blood, going pale.
The door blew open again revealing the captain's first hand. "Kim! Park! Put your clothes on. The captain wants to see you!" He scowled. The two men waited until he was gone and scrambled to get dressed. Before they reached the doorway, a voice spoke up. "Whatever happens, you're our Hyungs. We'll fight for you!" The youngest, Jongho called out. Seonghwa and Hongjoong sent the group an appreciative yet sad smile.
The lovers gripped each other's hands as they walked down the ship's hallway to the Captain's cabin. They both took a deep breath before knocking and entering. They didn't know what was going to happen to them but they'd face it together with a smile because no matter what, being with each other was worth any punishment that could be thrown their way. The door shut behind them.
The captain looked at them with dark eyes with a glass of bourbon in his hands. "I've heard that you both have been lying with each other as you should with a woman. Is that true?". The captain was looking at them dead in the eyes. The two men nodded slowly. The captain practically growled in distaste. "Get off of my ship!" He barked.
Hongjoong and Seonghwa quickly opened the door to run out but their stupid, nosey friends were behind the door with their ears against it and fell in when the door was opened. The group laughed nervously and scrambled to their feet. The group was pushed away by the two lovers. They immediately went to their cabin and packed their important keepsakes along with their swords. By the time they were done, the rest of their friends were already outside their cabin doors with their belongings packed too. Seonghwa had a look of confusion on his face, while Hongjoong looked as if he was about to cry from happiness.
"Where ever you go, we go. Remember, hyungs?" San spoke with a cheeky smile. The group walked off of the ship together on to the beach with huge smiles on their faces. Hongjoong jumped onto Seonghwa's back and wrapped arms around his neck. Seonghwa groaned in fake annoyance. Joong leaned down to kiss Seonghwa's golden skin.
