OCEAN - Ateez fanfiction (Pirate au)

IV

RECAP :

The fire was nearing her like a snake.

Slowly but surely.

As if she wasn't already suffering enough from the wound and her hand, she now almost couldn't breathe either.

She was crawling, holding her broken hand on her wound and moving with the other.

Bit by bit she moved further away from the flames. As she reached the end of the ship, she pushed her back against the edge of the ship, now sitting.

There was no way she was gonna survive. She had lost all of her strength and motivation.

As she was about to pass out, she saw dark figure in front of her.

She grabbed their leg.

''Help me'' she managed to croak out before everything went black.

'Captain told us not to go the burning ship. Obviously he was concerned for our safety, after all if any of us got hurt, it would immediately bring down the crews efficiency.  But I can't help it. Something is telling me to go there, like some kind of treasure is there, waiting to be found'  they thought.

The man was careful when he stepped on the ship, water dripping down from his body. 'It sure is hot here'  thought the male, breathing through the wet cloth tied around his face. He carefully stepped forward, looking around for any survivors. 

The each step he took, the sadder the male got.

There were dead bodies everywhere and all of them had the same expression written on their faces.

Pure terror.

'Great job Nicholas' the man thought sarcastically 'just wait until we get our hands on you, you fucking dipshit'

The male reached the end of the ship and saw a young woman, a beautiful one to be frank, sitting against the handrail, a big wound on her stomach, blood already  ruined her dress.

As he neared her, a quite big burning part of the mast fell down.

The man evaded it, but not completely. It grazed their cheek. He hissed in pain as the burning wood touched his face. 

'If I hadn't had the wet cloth on, it definitely would have left a nasty scar' hethought.

He moved on nearing the female once again. 

At first the male thought that the female is dead like everyone else on the ship, but then she grabbed his leg and let out a quiet ''Help me''.

And passed out.

He took her on his back and tied her to him with rope he had.

'Thank god she's not too heavy' the male thought.

 As they were slowly climbing down with a bigger rope to where he had previously left their boat.

'Hongjoong is definitely  gonna kill me'  the man thought as he was rowing back to the ship.

As they reached the ship the person grew more nervous by each second.

He climbed up slowly, afraid to make any noise-

''I knew that you went there San'' said a quiet voice.

The said male chuckled and sighed'' I should have known better not to tell Woo to cover me''

''Hey! It's not my fault Seonghwa hyung is super smart'' exclaimed the purple haired male next to the blonde one.

''And what or who did you bring ?''questioned Seonghwa.

''Let me get in first'' was the reply he got.

After the male got on the deck, he cut the rope through with a knife, revealing a bloody woman with (h/c) long locks.

As the medic on the ship Seonghwa immediately noticed that she had a broken hand besides the big wound in her stomach.

''San, she's barely alive! We have to get her in my cabinet immediately!''

The blonde man took her to his arms and ran to his cabinet as fast as he could, the younger ones right behind him.

After they reached his medical office. He placed her on the bed and said ''You two get me some alcohol and water''

The boys did as asked.

''And now get out, I have to concentrate. Oh and Wooyoung go tell Hongjoong about our new guest''

''Why me?''

''Because we don't want San to get murdered, do we.''

''He does deserve it though-''

''Wooyoung''

''Fine''

The blonde closed the door and the purple haired male left, with San mouthing 'good luck'. After he left San sat down on the deck and leaned against the wall.

A  bit later Wooyoung came back and he sat down next to him.

Together they waited.

And then waited more.

Finally after about 2 and a half hours later, Seonghwa came out of the room and said ''She's stable for now. It now depends on her, when she wakes up.''

''San are you injured anywhere?'' asked the blonde man.

''I burned my left cheek a bit'' 

''Alright come in. Let's patch you up''

Time skip

''Ow, it hurts '' San whined as Seonghwa dabbed gently on his cheek with an alcohol absorbed marl ball.

''Well, if you would've listened to the Captain's orders, you wouldn't be in this situation'' nagged the older male ''but you just HAD to go and act without thinking again, did you''

''Well...I did think before I acted...I just HAD to take her with us. I couldn't leave her to die on that sinking ship along with those dead bodies you know'' he paused for a bit, sinking deep in thought ''There was something about her, that just reminded me of myself before I joined Treasure. Like a flower that's not fully bloomed yet'' he said, smiling contently.

''I see...well I hope your intuition was right, because she sure doesn't look like it. I'm not gonna start playing prince charming to her just so you know'' said Wooyoung standing in the corner of the emergency cabin. 

''I mean...look at her. She's probably a daddy's little girl, who has never lifted a finger in her life. It's not gonna spare her from working on the ship though. I bet Captain's gonna put her to work the day she opens her eyes'' added the purple haired male.

''We'll see Wooyoung, we'll see...''

''Anyway...how did your conversation with the Captain go?''

''He was pretty mad at you San, not gonna lie''

''I figured as much. Anything else?''

''Yeah he said you have to clean the deck for a week and that you're gonna take full responsibility for her actions when she wakes up''

''Damn it! For a full week? That's Cap for you huh?''

'We warned you before didn't we'' said Seonghwa.

''You sure did''

''Well what's done is done. And you saved a life.'' consoled the blonde man.

''Let's hope that the girl wakes up soon. Cap said that he wants to talk with her after she awakens.''
