A story where Hongjoong and Seonghwa find each other in three lifetimes. "What if I said I'd find you in lifetimes to come? What if I loved you in all my lifetimes past? Wouldn't that be lovely?" "I think I'd say you're a god awful poet."

"any good captain would know this is not a good idea, especially right before a big game like tomorrow," he said sternly. hongjoong scoffed slightly and stood up a little taller and got in seonghwa's face, making him lean back a little. "a good captain isn't a good captain unless their teammates respect them. how can they respect you if you back down from a harmless game?" he says so smoothly, his voice was so soft and deep. "it's not even a full game anyway, just four on four." there was a slight glint in his eye as he continued, "unless you're too scared to lose again." or: park seonghwa and his team win the semi-finals and are on their way to nationals to compete on some of the biggest courts they will ever see. enter kim hongjoong and his team, also seemingly having advanced and will be present at nationals. their long rivalry with each other is vicious to the point where seonghwa will push himself too far to make sure he beats the other.

"I reckon ye only be mad at me," he started, his eyes closing shut like he knew the prince would bring him no harm. " 'Cause ye 'ave no freedom in yer own life." A simple sentence was all it was really, words compiled together to form a meaning. Sometimes such meanings were in fact meaningless, they held no truth and were only spoken for the sake of aggravation. Though in even rarer times, there was truth rooted in the very ground of the meaning and that was what caused the aggravation. But what would a pirate know? Or: Royal prince Seonghwa who is first in line for the throne, finally meets the recently captured and most feared pirate in all the Seven Seas who has been condemned to death. Every year on the feast on the Ceremony of the Golden Rose, the crown prince is to take a rose dipped in gold to present to one special prisoner as a gift of freedom and a new start at life. This year is like no other, besides the fact that the great pirate king who infuriates Seonghwa to no end might end up shedding a new kind of light on the young and very adventurous prince, changing his views altogether.

"So, we're going on an adventure that will most likely claim our lives," Wooyoung spoke up, giving his captain a rather cocky expression. "Is the treasure even worth it?" At that, Hongjoong's face instantly mirrored the young spy's own look. The smirk that took over his face was intimidating and reminded Seonghwa that Hongjoong was indeed wild, his eyes sparkling with a dangerous fury. He leaned over the desk and slammed his palm into the map that lay there, the sound echoing through the candle-lit cabin, and licked over his bottom lip with a firm nod of his head. "Aye, it's eternal life." Or: After being promised the adventure of a lifetime, Seonghwa had found himself wondering if this grand adventure is not for him after all. With a combination of heart-wrenching guilt and an underlying tone that the crew doesn't like him, Seonghwa does his best to forget who he was and tries to fit in with this rogue pirate crew who are chasing after a treasure no pirate has ever dared to retrieve before. With a firm promise that this adventure could claim their lives, the outcast pirate crew who roams the vast seas under black sails finds that loyalty will both hold them together and split them far apart.

By making a name for himself as he came closer to being crowned King, as long as he married his beautiful wife to be. His life couldn't get any better for him, at least that is what he was told.

Hongjoong is an introvert, forced into spending his summer holidays in the countryside, staying with his constantly working aunt and uncle and his cousins; a 5 year old Kyungmin and 17 year old Wooyoung who apparently changed over the years and is now a slutty and confident brat in a polygamous relationship? Hongjoong soon meets Wooyoung's friends and comes to the realisation that he absolutely hates Park Seonghwa - the local bad boy, which was only natural since they are the complete opposites. *** This fanfiction is strongly based on another one, we all know and love (if you were in the One Direction fandom back in the days) - 'Teenage Dirtbag' by smileyourepretty.
