9 ⇢ freedom

jimin had fixed a few things here and there, but now there was nothing. he decided to clean the deck, he got them stuff and began. jimin thought he was alone and enjoyed the sea air he was taking in. when he was in the castle, he was always cooped in a room filled with papers. when he was younger he wasn't allowed to go out much either, he was trapped in his room.

being trapped jimin read the books about pirates. he envied their freedom, to go where ever and whenever they wanted. sure they robbed but that had action, he didn't at the time. he was lonely in the castle, no one to talk to. but once he boarded the ship, jeongguk talked to him. slowly others like mark began to talk to him too. he was living the dream.

"lover lad," said baek, "stop staring and do your work."

jeongguk tore his gaze off jimin, "i am working you monkey," he said.

"why are you calling me monkey? i am not swinging from vine to vine," agrued baek.

"you are noisy and loud like a monkey," jeongguk replied making baek roll his eyes and continue to write in his journal.

"you are the only navigator i know who doesn't work in the captain's room, instead you bring your work up here. why?" asked jeongguk.

"i don't want to be alone in the same room as your father," baek replied, "i rather be out here."

jeongguk shrugged and continued to sew the sail. jeongguk then sneaked a glanced at jimin, who was currently putting away the bucket and mop. then he was byulmang approaching him.

"well hello there," said byulmang to jimin. jimin had his back to the man and jumped a bit when he spoke.

jimin nodded and was going to leave when byulmang blocked his way, "new?" he asked.

jimin again, nodded slowly. "you were a royal, so i've heard," continued byulmang, "and now you are a pirate." jimin didn't know what he was getting at.

"i just came from the main shore and they said there was a prince missing. a prince jimin. i suppose you are him."

jimin's eyes widened.
