Star Illusion | ATEEZ Pirate AU

Chapter 8 - If 'Y/N' is using my name, then what's my name?

"Ladies, how could we address you?" Hongjoong's question made me realize that I don't know this character name.

Ugh, stupid me. I should've asked Lily for this character name. I completely forgot!

Should I tell my real name?

Wait I can't!

What if 'Y/N' uses my real name, then that would be weird if we have the same name.

I guess I have to make up a new one.

What should I name myself? I have to stick with this name for the entire time that I'm here.

"Miss, what's so hard to tell us your name?" Seonghwa's cold voice interrupts me. He clearly looks annoyed and suspicious that I took a long time to say my name.

"Um...my name is..." Brain, think of something!

The members' stares pressure me.

"...Star." I say. "My name is Star."

I can't think of anything so I came up with Star because my favorite Ateez song is Star1117.

"Hmm, I thought the seer would have some cooler names." Mingi says, looking disappointed at my name.

Did he just belittle my new name? I think Star is quite lovely though, like a twinkle little star.

"How's Star not cool? Aren't you guys sailing by navigating from Stars?"
My answer earned several snickers from the members. But Mingi doesn't yield back.

"That's true but Star is-"
"Mingi, cut the crap." Hongjoong scolds him and Mingi pouts at him for a second time.

"And you, Miss." He turns to look at the stressed 'Y/N' who hung her head back down.

Now I'm really curious what her name is.

Will it be my real name? or name after Ateez song like me, something like ...Aurora?

"It's Aurora."

My head abruptly snaps toward her. Did she just say Aurora?

Does she have a mind reading ability? This gives me goosebumps.

"Aurora, that's a pretty name." Yunho, who's sitting closest to her, compliments her name which makes me feel hurt a little that no one compliments my name.

Well, I'm just a minor character, know your place.

"Miss Star and Miss Aurora, it's an honor to have two beautiful girls on our ship," Hongjoong grin casually, then he sit up straight as he's about to get into business. "You must've guessed why you were summoned here. If you tell us everything you know, no blood needs to be shed."

OMG did he just threaten me? And with that alluring smile. He should be banned from young adult books.

"Miss Star, according to your seer power, you mentioned you know the location of the map. Kindly enlighten us." Seonghwa says after Hongjoong, sounding polite but he obviously mocks me from the way he emphasizes seer power.

It'll take a while for him to believe me. Since his character has trust issues and being skeptical, I couldn't blame him, could I?

Everyone in the room anticipates my answer.

"It's in Port Royal." I speak in a calm demeanor, indulging in a seer character.

In the original story, the trading of the Wonderland map is set in Port Royal, the wickedest city that is overrun by pirates. But this info is actually revealed by the female lead. However, since our Aurora here isn't open her mouth one bit, I have to reveal it myself.
