"what now?" hongjoong stared at his comrades. mingi attended to his wound quietly, applying ointment on his arrow injury that hyunggu had managed to stitch up in time. currently, hyunggu continued his duties on yunho who had attained a palette of bruises all over his body and face, jongho seemed to be the only one with the least damage — hongjoong had guessed that yunho had risked himself for the youngest.
it broke his heart. was this worth hurting his family? could he watch his loved ones risk their lives for him?
"captain," hongjoong, who was delved deep in his own thoughts, hadn't noticed seongjun's presence rushing into his quarters. "this plan that you were talking about, is it to overthrow pallas?!" seongjun questioned, stood before his captain, disbelief clear on his features. he had just been walking past the door to the captain's quarters, when he had heard yunho explaining that they had gotten captured whilst climbing the wall. seongjun hated eavesdropping, but this was an exception — especially when all their lives are at potential risks.
"there's more to it—"
"what more do i need to know? that everyone needs to know?!" seongjun cut his captain off. the man that had always led them in the right direction was suddenly leading them all to their deaths, and there was no way he was just going to sit back and let it happen like yunho, jongho and mingi were. "there are innocent lives on this ship, people who barely scraped death," seongjun argued, pointing towards the door where all their members on the other side of the door continued to do their work, oblivious to the hell hongjoong was steering them towards. "you saved them all!" he exclaimed, jabbing his finger in hongjoong's chest, the two eye to eye as he glared at his captain. "and now you're going to kill them?" his voice lost power, his hand falling back to his side and his words barely above a whisper, but it was all loud enough to strike a chord within hongjoong.
"how did you find out?!" yunho pushed hyunggu away, grabbing seongjun by his collar, glaring at his crew member that dared to speak against the captain. "who are you to tell us—!"
