THE ice cold sea had been a harsh but necessary mother for Taeyong, she never ignored or abandoned him like his human one did, she was there to be the strict guiding hand he needed.
Of course, most would say that still does explain, why in the world, he was floating in the middle of the sea. Nearly naked but for a single shawl decorating the waters around him, and his heavily decorated hair.
You see Taeyong always sought his second mother in times of need, times of desperation. And this time it was too much to deny her request to become one with her, join her if you will.
โ
TAEYONG had started a new chapter of his life seemingly okay (that in fact is a lie). Engaged for money, attending a prestigious liberal arts college as per his request. He had friends, a good life, golden chopsticks.
He hated, he hated all of it. The pretty glamour, the fake laughs, his fiancee's horridly obvious motives that his mother turned a blind eye to. He felt trapped in the empty husk that was his body, all he had was the sea, and school.
School was another thing that helped keep Taeyong afloat amidst insanity. He studied literature, latin, the mighty greeks. He loved the emotion and open thought it had offered. But it was not enough.
His wedding was to be on a seaside cliff. And day before he ran to them knowing he need her. He was sitting reminiscing it all, his life, his family, his friends, himself. Thatโs when it came.
๐๐ธ๐ถ๐ฎ ๐ถ๐ ๐ฌ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ต๐ญ, ๐ฝ๐ธ ๐๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฎ ๐๐ธ๐พ ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ต๐ธ๐ท๐ฐ, ๐๐ธ๐พ ๐ผ๐ฑ๐ช๐ต๐ต ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ท๐ญ ๐ฑ๐ช๐น๐น๐ฒ๐ท๐ฎ๐ผ๐ผ ๐ช๐ท๐ญ ๐ณ๐ธ๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ฑ ๐ถ๐ฎ ๐ช๐ท๐ญ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ถ.

Taeyong spent not a moment of thought before the plunge, and at first it hurt, the gripping cold that wrapped and strangled him, clawing at his flesh. But for some reason he knew, he knew he just had to embrace it. And so he did.
โ
HE didnโt have a single thought, nothing in his head. No questions of where, when, who, what, or how. He just embraced it. That was easier than just the thought of his past high society corset tight life.

THE sight of a floating man at sea wasnโt as surprising to Johnny as most would have expected, the war had just ended and not without its fair share of casualties. He wasnโt a part of this particular pirate war, no he was much too sensible for that level of pettitery.
He was merely passing by with his latest loot from that morning, in hopes to get more from forgotten wreckage. But this man had been different, he was barren for the most part, but almost shining in the afternoon sunset light, -
- and mother blue had practically grabbed him by the ear and made him fetch the body, not that he would have already done that without her calling. He didnโt feel the need to bring any other men, he was obviously alone and small enough to handle on his own.
For Johnny, pulling him out had been easy, for he was limp and cutthroat cold to the touch except for the small area exposed to the warm light. He pulled the mystery man, his scarf, and his extra fallen hair pins -
- (so extravagant, no doubt high class, something I would be hired to steal) - on to the gently rocking rowboat.
The crew surrounded him, curious to see the man the captain had rescued without a word, to only face more confusion.
โWho is he?โ
โOOO he's pretty!โ
โHe looks richโฆ.โ
โCan we steal from him Johnny pleaseeee!โ
โWho is he?โ
โOOO he's pretty!โ
โHe looks richโฆ.โ
โCan we steal from him Johnny pleaseeee!โ
The captain paid no mind making his way to set the boy - (the man? He's small but with accessories like this I can't tell) - down. He checked his pulse, and surprisingly he was alive.
The knocked out body was searched, dried, and carried to the captainโs chambers on the main deck. The crew returned to work as usual until dinner with small whispers about the situation below the deck.
I mean it wasnโt the weirdest thing he, Johnny, had done. No not at all, almost normal, his whole crew was made of strays from ages 25 to 17. And he was a peculiar character, too.
He helped the needy, stole from the rich, never ate shallots or onions, was friendly and deep with too few words, a monster of a man in battle, and his favorite color was light blue andโฆโฆ..pink.
But he had rules, heavily enforced rules, one of which being that no one was allowed on the ship or crew without thorough examination. Johnny was extremely protective of his crew (they jokingly call him their father) and boat, and rightfully so with many highbrow eagles watching.
โI mean itโs not like Dad hasnโt taken in strays before, Haechan,โ Mark explained to ease Haechanโs worries.
Haechan pushed further, โYes, but out of nowhere? Not a word? And in weird hoodoo possesed mode?-โ
Haechan pushed further, โYes, but out of nowhere? Not a word? And in weird hoodoo possesed mode?-โ
โHey! Donโt call it that,โ Moon interjected from across the room.
โ-Mark our latest request is practically a target on our backs, the jackets will be turning over boulders for it-,โ reasoned Haechan.
โ-Mark our latest request is practically a target on our backs, the jackets will be turning over boulders for it-,โ reasoned Haechan.
โTrue, but would Johnny ever put us in danger we couldnโt handle?โ Taeil always offered a good point and a voice of reason.
The silence had answered all the possible questions anyone, in or out, of the conversation could have. Johnny was a great captain and friend he would never without a doubt put them in a situation they couldnโt handle. But the whole thing still pricked at Haechanโs mind.
โWho was that guy? Why did Johnny trance-save him?โ

TAEYONG had expected to awake to sand, or heat, or more chilling sea, or maybe not at all. He hadn't, however, expected warm white sheets, a single candle, and the shadows of a large man over a desk of parchment papers.
Taeyong got up leaving the gentle warmness to the soft cold of midnight stars. They always reminded him of endless freedom and childhoodโฆ
โFrom the garden, the giggles, laughter, and the pitter patter of little shoes could be heard.
โHurrryy, Tenie, or weโll miss it!โ
โI'm coming, I'm coming!โ
โHurrryy, Tenie, or weโll miss it!โ
โI'm coming, I'm coming!โ
One may ask why children would run through gardens to a telescope just to see a meteor shower, or how they knew of such things but that didnโt matter. (But for the record, they were overly educated and little Tenie loved the stars beyond belief, like Taeyong loved the sea.)
Taeyong dragged ten and his sister to the observation platform, they would spend the night staring at the stars with occasional chatter.
It got to late, and happy tired bodies easily succumb to rest, despite best judgements and sure to come scoldings-โ ONE STEP TWO STEP DOOR OPEN ONE STEP TWO STEP THREE STEP-
Taeyong heard the person before seeing them, suddenly aware of his open nudity and stolen single blanket. They two were all too conscious of each other. It scared him, so he waited for the other to speak first.
โWhat do they remind you of? The stars?โ a shockingly baritone voice until Taeyong turned around, he answered not, for he felt no need for words. The tall man took his glance as permission, yet he was still cautious, to slowly step forward.
The larger man continued, โYou look at them with such longing, I was simply curious where the feeling came from.โ
Taeyong may have left his past in pain and confusion, but that didnโt mean he lost all his wits. He learned at a young age, people donโt like silence and scurry away from it.
But the manโฆโฆ
He did not, he stood next to Taeyong the whole night, merely asking and retrieving another blanket.
โOddโฆ. but not unwelcome I guess?โ
I now have a cc! So send away my darlings! https://curiouscat.me/VAMPR1NCE

JOHNNY would wake up to an aching back against wood, and a strange weight on his legs. The small man had put a blanket over him -(strange but cuteโฆ)-
A few moments of sun soaking, the stranger carefully tiptoed out of his own cabin, only to freeze at Johnnyโs gaze.
โI suppose you're hungry?โ
A tense nod.
โWell then why donโt we get you some food?โ
โI suppose you're hungry?โ
A tense nod.
โWell then why donโt we get you some food?โ
The man put the nicest smile he could, which seemed to work, giving the other a small sense of ease.

THE eating area was much too loud for Taeyong, his already small form shrinking even more, but Johnny had no choice, they needed food and his crew needed answers.
Taeyong sat with the captainโs closest and oldest ranks, Johnny knew they were the least likely to bombard the slight man. Still, Taeyong became small and on defense.
Grits, dried fruits, and ale was the standard breakfast; even though the rest ate, Johnny took note of Taeyongโs suspicion.
โYou can eat you know, itโs not poisoned or anythingโ, Doyoung was always quickest to want ease and peace.
โYou can eat you know, itโs not poisoned or anythingโ, Doyoung was always quickest to want ease and peace.
Taeyong wearily looked at Doyoung, then at his food, then at Doyoung; before getting up, bowing at Doyoung and Johnny, only to take his leave.
-(Probably in my cabin.)-
โโ
โโโWhat's with him?โ Doyoung inquired.
โโ
โโJohnny looked pensive, โI don't know, Doโฆโฆ but I'm curious to find outโฆโ

THE click of the door opening softly didnโt surprise Taeyong, after all the room hadnโt been his own (though now he owned little to nothing). Johnny stood merely stood in the door way, Taeyong didnโt know what to do but stare back from the comfort of big manโs sheets.
The taller softly spoke, โthank you.โ
โโ
โโโโฆ.f-for what?โ, Taeyong was slightly surprised at the soft hoarseness of his voice. But more so at Johnnyโs words, it had been quite literally years since he heard the words sincerely told to him.

โthe blanketโ, his voice was just as soft as last night only with a little more confidence. His voice was smooth and heavy much like a wise sage.
โโฆ.o- oh. youโre uh welcome.โ
-(Why am I talking now? was a little companionship and food all it took to break through to me?)-
-(Why am I talking now? was a little companionship and food all it took to break through to me?)-
โWould you like some water or at least a snack or something?โ, Taeyong felt a bit of guilt, the other man -(I still donโt know his name)- was obviously concerned for Taeyong, but the question was why?
But then again Taeyong had many questions to ask and answer.
โโ
โโA small nod with a quiet request for water and one apple had Johnny out the door.
โโ
โโA small nod with a quiet request for water and one apple had Johnny out the door.

JOHNNY returned and found Taeyong looking over his desk shyly, a bit of curiosity gleaming in his eyes.
โโ
โโโWhat are looking at there?โ, Johnny said as softly as he could as to not scare the slight man.
โโ
โโโWhat are looking at there?โ, Johnny said as softly as he could as to not scare the slight man.
He looked up eyes wide, as if he has suddenly draw out of his own world. The other glances down, a small finger peeps out of large billowing sleeves, pointing at a special map. Johnnyโs dream map, a charting of everywhere heโd been in the world.
โAh, I see youโve found my little dream map-โ, Johnnyโs slight embarrassment was obvious, โIโve marked everywhere we been, my dream is to see the worldโฆโ
โโ
โโA thin finger moves over a particular spot, recently marked.
โโ
โโA thin finger moves over a particular spot, recently marked.
โIs that where youโre from?โ, Johnny questions and receives a small nod.
โโ
โโThe next question came out softer than the next, โWould you like to go back?โ
โโ
โโThe next question came out softer than the next, โWould you like to go back?โ
The man in stolen clothes was quick to become destressed, rapidly shaking his head. He seemed to have a deep rooted fear in the idea of his originโs.
โWell, โฆ would you like to stay here with my crew and I?โ, Johnnyโs inquiry shocked the other quite a bit. A minute of heavy anticipation clung to the air like a rock climber on a cliff.
โโ
โโA question, so soft Johnny almost missed it, โc-can I? whatโs the price?โ
โโ
โโA question, so soft Johnny almost missed it, โc-can I? whatโs the price?โ
The captain thought for a moment, he didnโt want to put the pretty man to work (he already had enough crew members).
โBut then again.โฆ. the younger members had been complaining about the foodโฆ.โ
โBut then again.โฆ. the younger members had been complaining about the foodโฆ.โ
โCan you cook?โ The captain suggested. A sure nod and a smile offered from the smaller.
โโ
โโThe taller explained, โWell, as you can tell from this morning, our food isnโt...โฆ.the greatestโ; a quiet chuckle from their new chef,
โโ
โโThe taller explained, โWell, as you can tell from this morning, our food isnโt...โฆ.the greatestโ; a quiet chuckle from their new chef,
โAnd our young in's have been getting a little whiny about it...โ
โTaeyongโ, the slight man said, โm-my name.โ
โโ
โโJohnny spoke with deep pence, โOh thank you for telling me IโmโฆIโm Younghoโ
โTaeyongโ, the slight man said, โm-my name.โ
โโ
โโJohnny spoke with deep pence, โOh thank you for telling me IโmโฆIโm Younghoโ
โ
YOUNGHO the captain and his savior he learned, was out of extra cots. He offered Taeyong a myriad of solutions, but he had an idea of his own. It would require a lot of trust butโฆ.
Taeyong might actually sleep better with the arrangement, the past few nights was the best rest he had in years.
โโโC-can I sleep in your bed? Only if you're okay with it, I totally understand if you're not-โ, Taeyongโs wordโs came rushing like a tide pool spinning a ship.
โโโC-can I sleep in your bed? Only if you're okay with it, I totally understand if you're not-โ, Taeyongโs wordโs came rushing like a tide pool spinning a ship.
โโฆ.Okay, sureโ Youngho said much to Taeyongโs surprise, โBut youโll have to be okay with me sleeping with youโฆโ Taeyong gave a satisfied nod.
The two headed to bed with ease, somehow knowing which side was whoโs. Though it was a bit tight, will Younghoโs stature, Taeyong was quite comfortable in the captainโs sheets. And just as Taeyong predicted, he rested just as well as the previous nights (if not, even better).
โ
THE morning came with ease and warmth, a first for Taeyong in years. Sunlight fuzzy filtered over brown and light blue hair on to white sheets. Taeyong didnโt want to disturb the man in charge but alas he had to make breakfast as the new chef.
Borrowed clothes thrown on, he walked down to where he remembered the cafeteria. Unexpectedly, there was a slight tall man sweeping the lower deck, Taeyong reconsidered him as the man from breakfast the previous day.
โOh! Itโs you again, sorry for scaring you.โ The dark hair man said, leaning on a nearby table.
โโ
โโTaeyong gave a small smile and shook his head, โI uh am supposed to be the new chef, Johnny appointed me last night.โ
โโ
โโTaeyong gave a small smile and shook his head, โI uh am supposed to be the new chef, Johnny appointed me last night.โ
โAh well, let me show you around! Iโm Doyoung!โ The other said, offering a handshake.
โ
TAEYONG took a look around the kitchen, the ship was barely stocked enough for a couple more days (but that was fine, they would reach the next stop the day after next). Taeyong slowly but surely assessed his materials and began to cook.
As predicted by Doyoung, the slow trickle of shipmates came a few hours after sunrise. Mostly the older crew members and a few odd ball youngsters with bountiful energy, though everyone was thoroughly surprised to be served by some new mystery man.
The questions came lightning fast at first until Doyoung and another smaller broad man from the previous morning calmed them down and gave them regulation.
โAlright, one at a time guys. But, first he may want to introduce himself first?โ the small friendly man said implying the question for Taeyong to fill in.
โA-ah Iโm uh your new cook or chef or w-whatever from now on. Johnny appointed me uh last n-night.โ
Taeyong filled in softly, โIโd rather not expose my n-name though.โฆโ
Taeyong filled in softly, โIโd rather not expose my n-name though.โฆโ
Doyoungโs face light up in remembrance, โOh I thought Johnny told you, none of us use our real names, you can tell people if you want but for the most part they wonโt call you that in public. So, do you have a nickname or something of a sort?โ
โmmmmm Yong, call me Yongโ the cook said with a bit more confidence.
โโ
โโ โYong are you sleeping with Johnny?โ A loud deep voice spoke from a tall but childish looking man.
โโ
โโ โYong are you sleeping with Johnny?โ A loud deep voice spoke from a tall but childish looking man.
The broad kind man scolded, โLUCAS-โ
โโ
โโBut before the other could even think of responding a confidence commanding voice came from the stair way along with a sliver of light.
โโ
โโBut before the other could even think of responding a confidence commanding voice came from the stair way along with a sliver of light.
โNot in an impure way, Lucas, though Iโm guessing you meant in bed and the answer to that would be yes. Not that itโs anyoneโs business.โ Youngho said with a slight knowing smile on his face.
โHowโs our new cook? Is everyone satisfied with the arrangement?โ
โHowโs our new cook? Is everyone satisfied with the arrangement?โ
The captain received plenty of affirmatives as he sat in the empty space next to Taeyong to begin his breakfast.
โโ
โโโThey call you Johnny?โ Taeyong quietly inquired remembering part of the previous dayโs conversation.

Youngho became a bit abashed, โAh yes but in private you can call me Youngho or Johnny, can I still call you Taeyong in private?โ
โโ
โโTaeyong turned in to Youngho more to hide his light blush, โY-yeah but they call me Yong.โ

THE crew had warily excepted Taeyong, if Johnny trusted him then they would too (the excellent cooking helped, along with Doyoungโs trust in Taeyong). Of course Johnny was practically glued to Taeyong the whole day, because today was a port day.
First order of business was pairing the younger memebers off and keeping note of where everyone was going to be before, during, and after their given tasks.
โWith that said I want everyone back here by afternoon time, ok?โ Johnny reminded everyone, as they left the docks and in to the town.
โโ
โโAs the two were walking, Taeyong tugged at Johnnyโs billowing sleeve, โUm, what are we doing today if I may ask?โ
โโ
โโAs the two were walking, Taeyong tugged at Johnnyโs billowing sleeve, โUm, what are we doing today if I may ask?โ
Johnny raised his eyebrows in surprise at his own forgetfulness, โAh yes, you and I are going to fetch the seller to look at our uh goods, and then head to the market after. If you have something you need to do or want to try let me know.โ
The smaller manโs face lit up like a small candle in a night festival, โI donโt think thereโs anything I need, but Iโll let you know. T-thank you, Youngho.โ
โโ
โโJohnny smiled and nodded before heading off their middle man pawner.
โโ
โโJohnny smiled and nodded before heading off their middle man pawner.
THE small seaside island hadnโt changed very much since Johnnyโs last visit, but as usual the tiny pawn shop did. Johnny entered the dusty and shabby shop with confidence, Taeyong walking silently behind him.
โโ
โโโAye, hyung? You there?โ Johnny hollered from the wooden counter.
โโ
โโโAye, hyung? You there?โ Johnny hollered from the wooden counter.
A distant voice Johnny knew very well shouted, โYeah, gimme a sec alright?!โ
โโ
โโJohnny turned around to look at the every changing interior, only to notice Taeyong inspecting an object.
โโ
โโJohnny turned around to look at the every changing interior, only to notice Taeyong inspecting an object.
Johnny noticed it was a pair of matching necklaces, after walking up to Taeyong. Each had a naturally broken half pearl, with one chain a thin shining chain the other a slightly thicker darken chain.
Taeyong softly whispered to himself, โThey're gorgeousโ
โโ
โโโDo you want to get them?โ Johnny inquired, prompting Taeyong to turn around.
โโ
โโโDo you want to get them?โ Johnny inquired, prompting Taeyong to turn around.
He glanced at the necklaces, thoughtfully, and then at Johnny, โNo, I wouldnโt want anymore debut.โ
โโ
โโJohnny nodded softly, then turned to the just entered shopkeeper. The older man spoke, โSorry about that fellas, how can I help ya?โ
โโ
โโJohnny nodded softly, then turned to the just entered shopkeeper. The older man spoke, โSorry about that fellas, how can I help ya?โ
โ
AFTER the shop owner inspected and confirmed the purchase of the loot, The three and the hired strength carying the goods headed back to the aged building.
Taeyong contemplated the small weight in his pocket, -(Should I sell it to him? Selling it shouldn't cause any issues right? But the other might ask about the moneyโฆ)-
The item in question was a heavy diamond engagement ring his mother had chosen for, what would have been, his marriage. Taeyong didnโt want a reminder of his ugly past that was probably chasing after him at this very moment.
Once at the shop, Taeyong knew what he had to do. He taps Johnny on the shoulder, โH-hey, uh Youn-, Johnny can I talk to the owner privately. Itโs just-โ
โโ
โโโNo, itโs okay, no need to tell me. Go ahead, i just need to talk to him after.โ Johnny said with an understanding smile.
โโ
โโโNo, itโs okay, no need to tell me. Go ahead, i just need to talk to him after.โ Johnny said with an understanding smile.
Taeyong gave a small sigh of relief before entering. The shopkeeper was talking, expecting Johnny to have entered the shop, โYour payment should be ready some- oh hello young man how can I help you.โ
The ex-noble stood, straight as a mast, with nervousness, โI n-need to sell you-u something, a uh secret.โ
โโ
โโThe middleman sat at his counter, โAh I see, well what is it? Stolen loot, pleasure toys, family heirloom? Hm?โ
โโ
โโThe middleman sat at his counter, โAh I see, well what is it? Stolen loot, pleasure toys, family heirloom? Hm?โ
Taeyong blushed at the inquisition, โThe third, uh sir.โ
โโ
โโโOh hahah no need for such honorifics,โ the owner gave a comforting smile, โletโs have a look shall we.โ
โโ
โโโOh hahah no need for such honorifics,โ the owner gave a comforting smile, โletโs have a look shall we.โ
Taeyong walked up handing over the ring, anxiously watching the man inspect the rings, โWow, itโs real, good quality, and big. I donโt know if I could pay it off it may take a couple of years.โ
โOh no money please.โ The slight man said rushed.
โโ
โโThe other looked shocked, โWell I canโt just take this, I have to repay you some how. It there anything else you want? A favor? Something?โ
โโ
โโThe other looked shocked, โWell I canโt just take this, I have to repay you some how. It there anything else you want? A favor? Something?โ
โHmmโ, Taeyong considered before concluding, โCan I maybe I donโt know trade it in for something else?โ
โโ
โโโFor sure! You can take a couple of things all right now or come back later, something catch your eye?โ
