"C'mon! Together!"

"Heave!"

"Ho!"

"Heave!"

"Ho!"

The heavy brown treasure chest successfully slides onto the deck of the ship and the cabin boys and Iridessa lands on the deck floor in relief. It was not easy pulling it all the way up the ship's plank.

Jongho wipes the sweat on his forehead with his cloth, "Sheesh, what's in that thing a body? I don't remember gold being that heavy."

Iridessa, Wooyoung, and Jongho laugh lightly in content then sit up and stop when the quartermaster approaches them.

"Was that the very last one?" Seonghwa asks the trio, looking between them and the chest they hulled on deck.

"Aye, Seonghwa Hyung! That was it!" Wooyoung confirms as they all stood up.

"Good work you three! Dessa, can you please help San with the inspection?"

"Aye! Aye!" Iridessa salutes to him and he smiles at her as she walks over to San by the other cargo.

"Hwa wants me to help ya!" She tells him and he gives her a cheerful smile.

"Thanks! I counted this half already, can you double-check them for me?"

She counts each chest in the set San pointed to and she makes sure that the items inside each chest are there and accounted for. This is the food rations for the next trip as Iridessa counts different chests of fruits, vegetables, fish, meat, drinks, and snacks.

"Looks good Sanie!~"

He finishes logging everything in his logbook then looks back up at her with his dimpley smile, "Thank you Dessa!~"

The two hear a yell from the other side of the ship and they quickly run to the sound to see what happened. Mingi covers his right eye in pain and Yeosang shakes his head in disappointment.

"Mingi!! I warned you about tying the sail like that!!"

"What happened?!" San asks them while rubbing the poor tall boy's back.

"He pulled on the rope wrong and he got whacked in the face by the fore boom."

"Awh Mingi...are you alright?! That was some heavy wood to be hit in the face by..." Iridessa frowns and asks him.

"I-I think I'm alright." He says removing his hand and the three wince when they see blood and his puffy eye.

"I'll take you to Yunho," Iridessa tells him gently and takes his arm.

San takes a breath, "Yeah...you do that. Yeo, I'll help you finish with the sail."

As the two of them finish tightening the sails, Mingi and Iridessa go below deck to Yunho's little clinic room. She brings him inside and Yunho puts his stuff down quickly coming over to them with concern.

"Woah ho! Mingi what happened to you?!" Yunho asks him, inspecting Mingi's face.

Mingi sighs, "It's so dumb, do you even wanna know, Yun?"

Yunho chuckles, "like this isn't the first time your clumsy self landed in my clinic before."

"Hey! Is Dessa down there?! Captain is looking for her." The three hear Seonghwa call out to them.

Iridessa replies back, "I'm coming!! Good luck with Mingi, Yunho. And, Feel better soon, Mingi,"  and they both thank her as she makes her way out of the room and back upstairs to the deck.
