"That's not true."
"It IS and you know it. And the fact that I'm a pirate it makes it harder for you because that's how black and white your damn mind is. Prince charming good, pirates bad. It's not like they killed your prince charming anyway. He's right THERE, SAFE."

"I don't know what they could have done to him."
"He spent all his life in this fucking castle, people gave him service, kissed his fucking leg and I have to be sorry for him just because he was with some of my people for a bit? Cry me a river. " Jeongguk says.

"You have no idea how my life has been, you don't get to look at me as if I'm some horrible monster when you're comparing me to someone whose biggest problem is probably not having enough time to spend with his hyung." Jeongguk adds, looking really angry and worked up.

"How can I know? You never told me."
"It's not like you actually asked."
"You're being unfair?"
"I am being unfair? What do you want from me? To say that I got jealous when I saw him trying to kiss you? There, I said it. Happy now?" He asks, holding his arms tightly.

"But can you do the same? Can you actually admit that the reason you're this pissed is because you were jealous over a pirate when your prince charming was right there? Or is your ego too big to admit such a thing?" Jeongguk asks. Tae looks confused.

"I don't know." Tae admits, his voice cracks a bit. Jeongguk is so frustrated. someone like him, how can he get this worked up over someone only after spending a few days with him?
"Why did you follow me? You really didn't know what you'd see?" Jeongguk asks.

"I know you're smart enough to know Taehyung." Guk says.
Tae opens his mouth and then closes it again.
"I did." He admits, of course he knew. "I just hoped I was wrong."
He looks down, why does he feel so disappointed in himself? Is Jeongguk really right?

The truth is that, even Jeongguk didn't expect himself to say all these. some of the things he just said were things he hasn't even admitted to himself yet, he just exploded.
"It's just that... His memory was all I could hold onto for years, I can't just..." Tae says.

"It's not just because he saved me. It's because he was the only one who was nice to me from up here and I always wanted to be here. It's not about a prince or a pirate, it's about a little boy who sacrificed himself for me and gave me hope for years." Tae says emotionally.
