Taehyung's POV

Day before my birthday.

It has finally been a full year since I left South Korea.

While I have totally enjoyed my absence and time to myself, things are getting out of hand with my father running South Korea.

There's been multiple terrorist attacks while I've been hiding.

All it took was a month for us to hire a garage storage facility where we repainted the outside of Jungkook's ship so that it would be slightly different looking compared to the one the Korean navy are looking for.

We have then been sailing around from place to place, yet I cannot let my father rule anymore.

Nor can I stay away from my best friend back home.

My family also is in Korea, so we are finally on our return mission.

"Oi! Ye all need to stay by my side so none of ye end up dead today? Do you understand? All of ye are helping me, so shout out for me if anyone tries to hurt ye." I shouted out to the crew.

I then ran inside the cabin to grab Jungkook's captain pirate hat that I hadn't seen him wear while I was onboard.

I placed it on top of my red head scarf, the hat matching my brown outfit with red rags tied around my belt.

I placed a sword that I left in my room in my belt before walking back onto the deck.

"Ready Captain?" Dawon asked me as a navy ship approached ours.

I gave her a nod, "Position yourselves! Remember what we rehearsed, ye don't hurt them unless on my command." I ordered.

"Aye Aye Captain!" Taemin shouted to confirm the crew heard me.

I then walked back inside to lean against the map table in my room.

I heard the sound of the navy ship pulling up against ours, followed by a male voice speaking to Dawon.

"You know the drill, just a general inspection." I heard the male say, as Dawon led him in the direction of my room.

"Right, that's what ye call ya operations for finding the King." Dawon snickered.

The male didn't answer her as Dawon spoke again, "Alright, here's the Captain for ye to speak too."

I heard footsteps behind me as I stayed facing away from the male while he spoke to me.

"Hope you don't mind, I am just going to do a once over of your ship." The male said.

"Of course I don't mind, we ain't hiding anything though." I said calmly.

I then turned around to face a short chubby looking navy sergeant.

His mouth fell agape, wide enough for flies to make their new home inside his gob.

The male went to dash out the door but Dawon's partner held his arm out in the doorway of my bedroom as Dawon headed away chuckling to herself.

I approached the male, "I wouldn't do anything silly now." I calmly cooed.

"Your h-highness, we've been looking for you." The male stuttered.

"Oh, well now you've found me." I hummed now standing up close to him.

"Sire, you are to return to the castle at once." The male said.

I laughed, "Was that an order? I don't remember you being in a higher position than me." I snickered.

His mouth seemed to go dry for a moment before he spoke again, "I have been given orders by the King."

"Oh really, well those are by the King who's no longer in charge," I began.

"Here's your new orders, go back to your ship, and say nothing, you did not see me, do you understand?" I asked him.

"Sire, you are to return to the castle at once." The male repeated.

"I know, that's what I am doing. I can return myself thank you very much. I am very capable." I complained.

"Oh, you're actually coming back?" He gasped.

"Duh, why else would I get this close to South Korea?" I asked, placing my hands on my hips.

"Right." The male commented, sounding uncertain.

"You can watch as my ship goes to South Korea, I can assure you that I am going back to take over the throne from my father." I told the male.

He nodded.

"Alright then." The male said not fully convinced.

He then went to walk away.

"Oh and sergeant," I began.

"Yes, your highness?" He asked from standing in the hallway.

"My crew member will be accompanying you over to your ship, a shot gun is loaded under his sleeve, if you open your mouth, you will be dead in a matter of seconds," I began.

"And the same for ye friends and other workers because my crew have loaded cannons pointing at your ship as we speak." I told him.

"The decision is yours." I said lastly.

I then heard his footsteps and Dawon's partner trailing after him.

Will this be an attack on my own people? Or will I be given the opportunity to announce myself back in South Korea in my own way? The fate of many lies in the hands of the Navy sergeant... 

Thoughts? Feelings? Concerns? Taehyung's returning! Also sorry again for the late chapter. I should be more free from university now.
