Chapter 22: Captains

"The seas may be rough but I am the Captain! No matter how difficult, I will always prevail."
~Pirates of The Caribbean, Jack Sparrow~

"Get the fuck away from her you filthy brat."

Am I dreaming?

The intruder jumped from where he was crouching and started making his way to the two of us.

Yoongi.

He looked the same as how he looked like when I first met him. It didn't looked like he died at all. He was standing there, a few feet away from me. Alive.

"Y-yoon—" 

"Who the hell are you?" The crowned prince hissed, distaste evident in the tone he used.

The captain chuckled, his slender fingers reaching out behind him before bringing out a sharp dagger, then playing with it like it's some sort of a toy.

Great Heavens, I didn't know that another man's presence other than Jungkook's could make me this joyous. 

"I am here for the lassie. Can you please let go of her now?" Yoongi asked, his voice sounding mockingly-sweet making me cringe for a bit.

"No. This woman right here is my princess." Jimin growled, his eyes doubling its size to appear more intimidating. "She's my property."

The captain raised a brow. "I do not like your use of words, young lad." He remarked, the dagger continuously spinning on his index finger. "Seems like this castle doesn't have a proper etiquette."

The crowned prince snorted. "Talking about etiquette, eh? Your clothes that look like rags doesn't really support that you know a thing about etiquette." Jimin then let go of me and straightened his spine. "You are talking to the crowned prince of this castle and he doesn't like your sudden entrance without any invitation."

Yoongi stopped from spinning the dagger and scanned himself. "Oh, where's your manners, I mean my manners." The captain chuckled again. "I'm sorry for the intrusion, my prince." His eyes moved and locked with mine. "But this lassie right here is acquainted to me."

Jimin glared at him before abruptly facing me. "Who's he? What's your relationship with him?"

Opening my mouth, I was about to answer his question when it already got answered.

"She's my long-lost wife." The captain answered.

My eyes widened and I turned to the captain's direction, only to witness that he's trying to fake a cry. I heard a gasp beside me and then, my arm was grabbed harshly.

Gritting my teeth to not let out a yelp from the harsh contact, I turned to the crowned prince, his once filled with mischief features now portraying annoyance.

"Tell me that he's making up a story, princess." The crowned prince growled, nostrils flaring. "I want the truth."

Avoiding his scrutinizing eyes, my gaze locked with the captain's onyx ones. He gave me a very small nod that would go unnoticed to someone's eyes if they're not focused on him. With that motion the captain took, I suddenly felt courage surging in my veins and I turned to the crowned prince.

"I'm his wife." I stated, confidently. "He's telling the truth."

The grip in my arm tightened and I bit my lip suppressing a curse from coming out of my mouth. "I don't believe you." The crowned prince growled.

"You're hurting my wife." Yoongi stated, voice lowering an octave. "Get your hands off of her."

The crowned prince seemed to get ticked by those words coming from the captain. Because in one swift motion, he was already holding the captain by the neck pinning him on the wall.

He was fast.

The crowned prince ensured that the captain is securedly pinned by his hands. I saw Yoongi trying to push him away to enable his airway from getting oxygen once again but Jimin didn't let him get his way.

"I d-didn't expect t-that." The captain choked out, his respiration getting hindered by the crowned prince's wicked hands.

The crowned prince then locked gazes with me. "My princess, tell me that you didn't marry this peasant right here and I'll spare his worthless life."

"Oh, she w-wouldn't. She l-loves me s-so much." The captain remarked, still fighting to breath.

Growling, the crowned prince turned to him. "Shut up! I didn't give you permission to speak."

Loosening his hold from the captain, he turned to me, awaiting for an answer.

"I-I—"

"My prince can I speak?" The captain interjected.

Blinking my eyes, I saw the crowned prince looking at the captain, his face scowling.

"Don't you know how to stay silent?" The crowned prince asked.

"I do but I don't feel like staying silent right now." The captain replied. "You see, my wife is right there, and shouldn't we have that little cliche reunion? You didn't even let me hug her yet and that's so annoying for a man like me that waited for a very long time just to see his wife again." He rambled out. "I am utterly dissapointed." The captain finished, sighing in fake anger.

The crowned prince crossed his arms. "I don't believe a word you said whatever your name is."

"It's Captain Min, my prince. Although I earned so many names while doing my job I'd prefer to be called that way." He suggested. "Or if you're more comfortable with first name basis, call me Yoongi."

"Well, Captain Min Yoongi, this woman right here was escorted by my guards, alone, towards my castle. What good man would leave his wife unattended? If I would be her husband, I'd make sure that she doesn't even get out of my sight for once. She'd be with me all the time." Jimin proudly stated.

Forcing a grin to morph on his lips, the captain subtly glance my way and towards somewhere on the floor before locking eyes with the crowned prince once again.

"I didn't intend to leave her alone, my prince. It's just that we encountered some people and things went rough resulting for us to be on parted ways."
He defended, his lips still morphed in a forced smile.

Looking at the place where the captain's eyes lingered on the floor, I saw the sharp dagger that's once in his hold.

He wants me to use the dagger to overpower the crowned prince.

After realizing his gestures earlier, I looked up to see him still occupying the crowned prince's attention.

He's distracting the crowned prince to not look my way all this time.

Carefully moving to where the dagger is, I didn't once looked away from where the crowned prince and the captain is. Getting caught by the crowned prince is the last thing I want.

Upon having the dagger in my grasps, I saw Yoongi smirking. Then, without any warning, he pushed the crowned prince as hard as he can.

"Y/N!" He shouted and I, in reflex, threw the dagger across the room, towards where he is, to which he easily caught with his skilled hands.

Upon the sudden abrupt attack, the crowned prince stumbled on the floor, his bottom making a harsh contact with it. Before he could process what's going on, the captain already have him pinned to the ground, the dagger threatening to slice the delicate skin of his neck.

I stood there motionless, watching as the crowned prince tried to pry the captain's hands away from his pinned figure.

The captain let out a dark chuckle, pushing the dagger further to the crowned prince's neck enough to create a cut. In return, the crowned prince gritted his teeth, his eyes portraying the rage he wanted to express at the moment.

"Today, you've learned something, my prince." The captain stated, chuckling after. "You should never let your guard down."

The crowned prince growled and tried to kick the captain but the captain outsmarted him resulting to his right leg to get twisted, making him let out a painful moan.

"Uh uh, have manners, Prince Chimmy. You shouldn't interject when someone's talking." The captain remarked and I accidentally snorted.

The crowned prince's eyes shot my way and glared. Clearing my throat, I stood awkwardly in the corner not before sticking my tongue out at him.

Turning to the captain, the crowned prince growled out. "It's Jimin. I could have you beheaded for harming and insulting me."

The captain rolled his eyes at that. "Blah blah blah, royals really talk like dead skin cells are coming out of their mouths. Always rambling about their power, Aye?"

Swifting his gaze to me, the captain sighed. "Enough of the talking, I still need to get my woman out of here. Adios amigo!"

With that, the captain let the crowned prince go, dashing to where I was. Upon reaching me, he held my hand and we started running away from there.

"Guards! Seize them!" I heared the crowned prince roar, back where we left him.

Out of nowhere, guards started appearing from every aisle we are running in, trying their best to win this chase.

"Halt! Halt and we wouldn't harm you both!" One of the guards yelled.

As if.

From what Yoongi did back there, I wouldn't believe that they'd let us go unharmed.

We continued to run until we reached the castle's rooftop where there is no way to go. We backed away until we reached the edge, seeing the guards surround us from every corner. At the edge, my eyes caught a glimpse of what was below and I saw spiky structures in the ground. At that, my grip on the captain's rough hand tightened and he gave me a reassuring squeeze in return although it didn't reassure me at all.

We're dead.

If we fall from here, those things would surely end our lives.

Am I really going to die in this place? Without even bidding Jungkook a goodbye?

A guard tried to approach us but the captain swung his dagger and the guard immediately back off.

"You are surrounded." The guard who tried to approach us, declared.

"I know." The captain retorted making the guard frown.

"Down there, is where we do one type of execution. You'd be a bloody mess after those spikes pierce your flesh. I suggest you to surrender." A guard mocked and I recognized him as the douche guard.

The captain's hand released mine and wrapped his arm on my waist instead. Flinching, I sucked a deep breath when I felt the captain's warm breath in my ear.

"Hey lassie, do you trust me?" He asked playfully.

Frowning, I tried to speak but his sudden words stopped me from doing so.

"It doesn't matter though. Just hold me tight."

He chuckled turning his attention to the guards once again. "Remember this day! Because this is the day you almost caught, Captain Min Yoongi."

Then in one swift motion, he jumped towards the things that would end both of our lives, knocking the breath out of me.

I closed my eyes and uttered a prayer awaiting for the spikes to pierce my flesh.

But, it never came.

Opening them, I saw the captain holding unto a large chain, his face scrunched up. Turning to me, he grinned, showing a gummy smile.

"Help me, will you? Didn't know you weight this much, lassie." He chuckled and I hit his head with my fist before also grasping the chain to hold my weight. He laughed at my attempted action to hurt him. Attempted because he didn't seem like he was hurt by my attack.

Slowly, we used the chain to climb down safely until our feet reach the ground. When it did so, I lunged to the captain, giving him a tight hug.

"Thank you, for saving me again." I muttered on the crook of his neck.

I heard a chuckle coming out of him and I pulled away to see him flashing his gummy smile once again.

"Don't I risk your life every chance I got though?" He queried, his face portraying amusement.

Rolling my eyes, I smiled before answering.

"Absolutely no—"

I was cut off, when the captain fell, his body almost knocking me down.

"What the heck! Yoongi!"

A/N
JHOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPEEEEE!

I don't have much to say, just give BUTTER support! And pray for INDIA and for COVID to go away!

Lovelots!
