yes

Yunseok isn't an idiot to not see pass through an old trick, he is not titled as the Black Ash of Gwangju for nothing. If they wanted to play, the Captain could go with the flow and do the game better than them.

He beckoned one of his minions to place Hongjoong's head at the mouth of the ghastly cannon. Poor Hongjoong was dragged like an animal.

"Prove your loyalty, my precious fox." but Wooyoung didn't even bother doing a thing other than wincing at the pain coming from the roots of his hair.

And because the Captain isn't a person with long patience, he is fueled. He removed his grasp from the hair of the boy and grabbed Wooyoung's hands, intertwining it with his own.

A match!

Wooyoung wanted to throw the match from his hands, but Yunseok had his grip firm, looking like a puppeteer with his crappy puppet. "the fact that you think I cannot decipher your plan, is pretty pathetic, you know that?" Yunseok whispered once again in his ear, not with the sweet venomous tone, but with the wicked angry one.

Oh, how Wooyoung wanted to beat him up so badly. Wait till I cut those fingers and tongue of yours, Captain. Yes, Badly wanted, but he couldn't even let himself do something freely with the domination of the Tall pirate behind him.

He was lost in his own thoughts, thinking of a good torture to apply at Yunseok, that he didn't notice the head of the match was already lit with fire. With just a bend and proper place of a hand, Hongjoong's head would blast off from his body, or much worse, there will be nothing left with the horrendous impact of the bomb.

And yes,

Fuck.

To his horror,

No.

The cannon was ready to fire the sphere of death at the still unconscious Captain of Wooyoung.

The sound of fire eating the length of the rope gives Wooyoung panic attacks. 

But wait... Why is he worrying too much? He barely knows the boy. Why do they trust each other like how they would a family member? They just met each other a few hours ago.

For a moment, time stops, letting Wooyoung have his time pondering to it.

Hongjoong looked very familiar to him. The way those small sharp eyes form into crescents when he smiles sends an odd nostalgic vibe to Wooyoung. The sly smirk when Hongjoong does something he is confident of, the dangerous glare he gives to someone who'd want to hurt his family. The golden locks bouncing up and down as he hops— let's just say everything about him had a very sad part to Wooyoung. He had a vision, a vision that is blurry, but somehow he could clearly decipher.

Wooyoung-ah!

Yunseok's arm went flying away from the boy with tears at the very end of his eyes, threatening to stream down at any moment. And that moment is now.

He pushed everything around him that would prevent his so-called 'saving' action. He knew it was stupid to do but that was the first thing he could as his mind was still clouded by the blurry vision he saw a while ago— He stopped the quick diminishing of rope caused by the raging fire with his bare hands.

Feeling the burning sensation against his palms, it was unbearably hurting, indeed. But he would do it For Hongjoong, For Him, For His Captain, Yes, For the man who saved him from the burning pawnshop.

The fire died. His palms were still in heat and releases small faint smoke, throbbing in red-brown color. "Captain!" He slapped Hongjoong across his face. With the evidence of red marks on his face, he slowly gained back the consciousness he had lost a while back. He breathed out a confused sigh before lurking his eyes around, remembering the situation.

Wooyoung didn't waste time staring at his Captain, instead, he unties the ropes embracing the other. A loud growl was heard behind Hongjoong. "What's the problem?" Hongjoong asked with his pupils shaking frantically. "I think I tied it too much." Wooyoung had beads of sweat trickling at the side of his head, showing the visible nervousness lingering on him.

The so-called minions of Captain Yunseok started shooting them with daggers and bullets. And they are not superhuman to not have wounds and such. The cunning fox had his right shoulder bleeding with a bullet digging inside it.

Wooyoung got tired of undoing the ropes with his bare hands. He twisted his ankles and hurriedly held the cannon with every force he have, pointing it at the raging Black Ash. Now the tables are turned.

He smirked while lighting the rope of the bomb. Not caring about himself, he held his own captain's ear to protect from the deafening thunderclap of the cannon.

And yes, there it goes. Blasting off at the man known as the Black Ash. He is indeed a Black Ash right now.

Serves you right, Wooyoung laughed at his thoughts looking back at the spot of Captain Jeong, before grabbing the dagger laying on his side, cutting the thick ropes. There is no possibility he could survive such an impact... Right?

"I hope the others are ready." Hongjoong prayed, whilst rubbing the throbbing arm fresh from the grip of the tight rope made by his comrade.

And his prayer was granted. A beautiful melody from a seeming flute was heard. Hongjoong recognizes it, and that just filled him with Joy.

The Pied Piper... The Famous Pied Piper Kim Taehyung, the beautiful melody of it gives a deadly message— simple, you're dead. With the words of Captain RaMon, Follow my Melody and dance until your death. That's why the crew of Captain RaMon or Namjoon is famous, everything in them has a beautiful meaning. They do not kill for the title, they do not steal for wealth, they are the Robin Hood of piracy.

The Whalien 52 sailed once again at the blue sea, with the whole crew in it. The beautiful purple linings of it, and the glistening porcelain wings attached at the Black Swan Princess just below the bow of the ship shines as the sun gratefully greets them in euphoria— that their Youngest Master Gunner personally carved and painted; really caught attention.

That made Wooyoung, together with Hongjoong's eye sparkle. They are looking up at their seniors with such adoration.

That was the last sparkle until they met a horrendous sight.

A bloody San that was carried by Yeosang, and a limping Seonghwa at Jooyoung's arms, trailed by the freezing Changbin.

The five were climbing at the gangplank of Whalien 52. While the other two: Wooyoung and Hongjoong, were surrounded by the remaining pirates of Captain Jeong. Instead of trying to murder the two, they were bowing, directly at Captain RaMon. His crew is really respected by many, acknowledged by everyone.

"I want to be like them." Wooyoung enunciated while pulling his Captain up from the ground. Hongjoong also wanted that, he has been dreaming that since he was still a child. He chuckled and started moving his feet to walk through. "are we going to be like them?" that startles Hongjoong, he knew he would ask that, but not this soon, he stopped on his track and ruffled the younger's hair.

"yes, we will."
