Taehyung's POV

I was woken up again, but this time by a more violent nudge.

My eyes opened seeing the boat wasn't dimly lit anymore, suggesting it was morning.

However my eyes cast to my workers and family crowding around where I slept.

"Where the fuck did you get this from?" Jin snapped from beside me, referencing to the duvet cover that Jungkook gave me last night.

I ended up sleeping on top of it and because it was big and made for a king size bed, I was able to wrap the other half over me which I hid under now.

"It's been a long time since I heard you swear." Yoongi gasped from beside Jin.

"The captain gave it to me last night." I replied while looking at them staring at me.

"Of course he did. Why does he bloody like you so much? Does he forget there are others on this boat with importance and that we need to be comfortable too." Jin snapped angrily.

"I am a prince, you're a prince," Jin continued moments after while looking at Namjoon.

"We should get the same attention, pity, protection and comfort as Taehyung." Jin continued.

"We work hard too, we should be given these as well." Jimin whined.

I sighed while getting up.

"What are you doing that we aren't? We share the same blood but yet he favours you." Jin ranted.

I hate Jin's complaints. I always have and always will hate them.

"He's babying you." Jin continued.

I groaned in annoyance.

"You know what, you can fucking have this duvet cover if you want it. I took it because the captain was being nice and considerate to me. Maybe strike a nice conversation with him and you could've got one too," I began.

"But because you are so persistent, fucking take it." I snapped, picking up the duvet cover and shoving it into my brother's arms.

"It's not like you'd ever care for your younger brother and think how good it is that he is well taken care of. You just think of yourself. All of you are guilty of thinking for yourselves because if you spoke in a kinder manner to me, I would've shared it." I continued making the others cower away while Jin stood his ground staring at me.

"You're a damn shit brother." I finally snapped.

I went to walk away but the side I turned to revealed Jungkook watching us.

My heart sank knowing he probably heard me swear or by accident seem ungrateful.

"Rowing." Was all that Jungkook said.

The others walked around me because I wanted to speak to Jungkook.

"How much of that did you see?" I muttered.

"A decent amount." He replied.

"You are allowed to get frustrated, you know. You don't have to feel embarrassed by it." Jungkook spoke up after I sighed.

"I just don't like appearing like that in front of someone else. It makes me feel insecure or something because I act very improperly when my emotions are in the mix." I complained.

"Taehyung, you are a person too. Plus my language is way worse than yours so you don't even have to panic about me seeing it." He reassured me.

I nodded.

"How are you feeling?" He asked me to change the subject.

It took me a moment to realise why he asked me because I completely forgot that the reason he gave me the blanket was because he thought I was getting sick.

"Better, must have just been a chill." I lied.

"And your hand?" He asked calmly.

I lifted my hand up because I haven't even looked at the wound today.

"Should I unwrap it?" I asked him.

"I mean you can, fresh air won't be bad for it. Just I wouldn't recommend touching anything with that hand if you take it off." He answered.

"What chores do I have to do today?" I asked him so I could work out whether or not to keep the bandage on.

"Either row or you can clean the dining room after everyones had breakfast." He replied.

"Second one sounds more friendly to my hand." I replied while taking the bandage off.

I don't think I'll need a bandage for cleaning.

Jungkook and I's eyes fell on my hand.

My heart did flips as Jungkook raised his hand, cupping the back of my hand as he looked at my palm now.

"Well it doesn't look infected." He replied.

"Should it have?" I questioned.

"I mean some of my crew have had infections from accidents on the ship before, only their health condition is probably worse than yours." Jungkook told me, his index finger running along my index finger creating butterflies in my stomach.

"Come with me, you can have your breakfast now." Jungkook said while letting go of my hand.

I pouted at the lack of contact as I followed behind Jungkook upstairs to the deck and then back inside to the dining room.

Today Jungkook wore brown vertical striped full length pants which were tucked into almost knee length black boots, a white blouse with some black strings keeping the top of the shirt closed somewhat even though I could still see his gorgeous olive tanned skin.

He also wore a black open waistcoat over the shirt and a thick black belt with a golden buckle, more red rags draping in and out of the belt like the first time I saw him.

His brunette hair was tickling the back of his neck with no chains on him this time.

Only the hand that didn't touch mine moments ago was wearing an orange stone ring.

Thankfully not on the considered marriage finger.

As we walked into the dining room, the strong aroma of coffee circulated my nose.

After all, Jungkook did say he'd let me try the drink with Hoseok not around.

I smiled seeing scrambled eggs dumped on plates that were still steaming with trays of bacon and sausages in the centre of the table.

"Taehyung will be eating with us today, the rest of the others will eat after." Jungkook called out seeing some suspicious looks as I walked in the room.

"Morning." The women from last night chimed upon entering, seeing Jungkook and I standing close together, making her smirk.

"Good morning." I replied.

"Have a seat." Jungkook directed me as he walked around the table.

I pouted seeing him sit down beside other people, and people that I did not know.

One second he is looking out for me, the other second he is throwing me into the deep end...

Thoughts? Feelings? Concerns? That women looking at the two enter for breakfast together is so me, I'd be totally thinking did those two sleep together and want to sus them out ahaha.
