You huffed, pushing past the thick plants in front of you, large leaves smacking against your arms and face as you trekked ahead.
You just escaped those rambunctious group of guys who call themselves The Lost Boys—they were horrid. No manners, so respect, and certainly no dignity. Their leader was just as awful and drove you mad with all of his whooping and hollering.
You thought maybe they'd help you out, seeing as they're the only people you've seen on this dreaded island, but all they did was party and play pranks.
Quite frankly, you couldn't stand it. So, you left. You'd rather be alone and lost in this dense forest than be stuck with those hooligans.
Now, here you are, trying to find your way through the thick greenery that overtook the majority of this forest; it seemed never-ending, like you were going around in circles. Everywhere you turned looked exactly the same, until you came to a small clearing.
You let out a huff, taking in your surroundings.
"Now what?" You inquired aloud, exasperated from pushing all the plants away from you.
You stood for a while, wondering where to go next. You turned left, trees and a thick overgrowth of leaves. You turned right, same thing. No matter where you turned, each direction was akin to the other. You couldn't tell a difference between left and right, forward and backward. Next thing you knew, you had forgotten which way you came from.
"Seems like you're lost."
The new voice that seemed to come out of nowhere was accompanied by the rustling of leaves.
You spun around to face the man, stopping when you realized it was someone new—a person you hadn't seen before.
"So there are other people here." You thought to myself.
His attire was much different than that of the Lost Boys. Their clothes were messy and unkempt; shirts covered in dirt and tucked haphazardly into their trousers.
This man before you was dressed in a copacetic ensemble.
He wore a white dress shirt with ruffles around the collar, a deep maroon colored leather coat that draped behind him, and pants that matched the coat. His boots looked rather shiny despite him obviously traipsing through the dense undergrowth. One peculiar thing you noticed was that he had a hook for a hand. You'd be lying if you said the menacing appendage didn't put you on edge.
"I'm not lost." You lied, keeping your guard up.
"You're lying."
"Listen, I don't know who you are, but I don't need help from you. I don't need help from anyone here." You spoke rather snappily, taking a step back.
Big mistake.
In an instant, a huge net emerged from the ground, yanking you upwards and trapping you inside.
The net swung back and forth due to the momentum of your whole body being snatched up into the air.
"This day can't possibly get any worse." You grumbled to yourself, wiggling around in the trap that was no doubt set up by the group of troublemakers—that's how you ended up with them in the first place, after all.
The man stood below, staring up at you with the most smug expression you had ever seen.
"What was it you said about not needing help from anyone here?" He smirked.
You scowled down at him.
"You know, I could be of service to you." He pulled the left side of his coat back, revealing a sword. "If you'll accept my help."
"I can get myself out, thank you very much."
"Okay, you have fun with that." He crossed his arms, staring up at you with an amused expression.
You wiggled around, hoisting yourself up by grabbing near the top of the net. You attempted to get into a standing position as you balanced on the netting below. This worked for a moment only to fail miserably when you lost your balance and your foot slipped through the netting.
"Need my help, now?" The man asked, quirking a brow.
"Fine." You huffed.
"Alright. I'll get you down... if you tell me your name."
"Why should I tell you that?"
"So you can get out of that awful trap you're in." He answered.
You opened your mouth to say something, but the man spoke again.
"Need I remind you, you just failed to get out on your own."
"Fine, I'll do it."
"Tell me your name first."
"Cut me down first."
The man made a tsk sound and shook his head. "No can do. I'm not cutting you down until you tell me your name."
"That's not happening."
"Alright, then. I hope that net is comfortable, because you'll be stuck there all night."
"My name is, Y/n." You told him, fed up with his stubbornness.
"What was that?"
"Y/n is my name."
He grinned proudly, pulling his sword from its sheath.
"Wait." You spoke up, clutching the net. "I'll fall if you cut it."
"It's just a five foot fall. It's not that bad."
You shook your head.
"I'll catch you."
Your eyes went to the hook on his left hand, staring warily at the weapon.
"It's fake." He told you.
After you gave him a skeptical look, he pulled the hook off and tossed it aside, showing you his hand.
"See? I only wear it to intimidate people."
"Alright. Go ahead and cut me down."
He slung his sword towards the rope that was holding up the snare trap, which was cut in half immediately. He hastily stood underneath you, catching you just in time.
You let out a grunt as you landed roughly in his arms. When you looked up at him, you were breathless, and it wasn't from the fall. Sure, he was good-looking from afar, but even more so up close. His dark hair hung neatly around his features, the deep red highlights in his locks showing in the sunlight.
You quickly cleared your throat. "You can put me down now."
He then placed you on the ground and helped to remove the net.
"Those stupid boys set that up, I have no doubt." You huffed.
"You mean The Lost Boys?" The man asked.
"Yeah. Them." You grimaced.
"Troublemakers, aren't they?"
"Very much so." You sighed. "Anyway, thanks for getting me out of that. I should get going now."
"Wait." The man stopped you. "Where will you go?"
"I don't know. Somewhere."
"Why don't you come with me?" He asked, putting the fake hook back over his hand. "You know, I could use a woman on my crew."
"Your crew?"
"Of course. There's plenty of room on my ship."
"Your ship?"
"Ah. I haven't introduced myself. The name's Yunho. Captain Yunho."
"A pirate?" You questioned, quirking a brow.
"Of course." He grinned proudly. "Why do you sound so surprised?"
"I can't say I expected to see pirates here."
"Then you clearly don't know Neverland."
"Neverland? Is that what this place is called?"
"It is. You don't seem to know much about Neverland."
"Of course I don't. I'm not from here."
"That explains why you don't know your way around. Why don't you allow me to assist you? I could even give you a place to stay."
You narrowed your eyes at Yunho, still a bit suspicious of him.
"If you come with me you can stay on my ship with me and my crew."
You mulled the idea over in your head for a moment. This man did seem much more sensible than those scoundrels. Part of you would much rather go with this pirate as opposed to being out in the woods alone, falling into traps and running into animals.
"Alright."
"That's a yes, I presume?"
"It is."
"Very well, then." He smiled. "Follow me."
The two of you trudged through the dense overgrowth of foliage and evergreens until the thick vegetation became more sparse. You emerged from the verdure and were met with the stunning view of a beach. The crystal clear turquoise waters beyond the shore were sparkling under the sunlight. Situated out in the water was a magnificent ship sitting proudly in the endless ocean.
"That's your ship?" You asked, your mouth hanging open in awe.
"That it is." He beamed, gazing out at the nautical vessel. "The Jolly Roger."
"Wow."
Yunho proceeded across the beach. You hurriedly followed behind, kicking up sand as you did so. The captain was tall and had long legs that carried him further than yours, so it was difficult to keep up, especially in the sand.
The Jolly Roger was even more impressive up close. The monstrous vessel towered over you and Yunho, bobbing ever so slightly with the waves.
"Come on." Yunho instructed, stepping down the dock.
You followed the pirate up the gangplank and onto the ship where one of his crew mates approached him, looking a bit frazzled.
"Captain, there you are." He seemed relieved.
"I told you I was going for a walk." Yunho told him.
"Yes, but you were gone longer than I expected." The man explained. He then glanced at you with a bewildered expression. "Who is this?"
"This is Y/n."
"A woman?"
"Yes. Do you have a problem with that, Smee?" Yunho asked, eyeing the man who you assumed was Smee.
"N-no, sir. Not at all." He shook his head frantically.
"Good." Smiled Yunho. "Let's set sail."
The wind pushed on the large sails, propelling the giant ship forward, away from the dock. You stood with your arms resting on the rustic wooden railing of the ship, watching as it departed. You could feel the crew's eyes on you letting you know that women on the ship was probably very uncommon, perhaps even taboo. You hoped that you made the right decision choosing to come onto this ship.
You heard the soft thumping of boots behind you, turning your attention to the sound. Yunho approached the railing, a soft smile on his face.
"Your crew is staring." You pointed out.
"Well, they're not exactly used to seeing women."
"Ever? At all?"
"There aren't many women here. Except mermaids, of course."
"Mermaids?" You asked, a hint of excitement in your tone.
"Yes." Yunho nodded. "They have their own lagoon where they hang around. I wouldn't get close if I were you, though."
"Why?"
"They'll drown you. They're rather jealous of women."
"Oh." You frowned.
You thought mermaids were supposed to be nice—apparently not.
"Would you like some fresh clothes?" Yunho offered. "Yours are a little dirty."
You glanced down at your current attire, seeing that it was indeed a mess. There were even some tears in your pants.
"Oh." You muttered. "I suppose I do need a fresh change of clothes."
"Follow me." He gestured, leading you across the deck and down into the sleeping quarters.
Yunho pushed open a door revealing what you assume to be his room. He began rummaging through a wardrobe, pulling out a shirt and pair of pants.
"I hope you don't mind wearing men's clothes."
"Not at all."
"I don't have any boots that would fit you, but I'm sure we can sort something out." He mentioned, handing the clothes to you.
"My shoes will be just fine for now." You assured him. "Thank you."
"You can change in here. I'll step outside."
You gave him a small nod as he left the room. As soon as you heard the door close, you began changing, tossing your soiled clothes onto the floor.
The garments Yunho gave to you were a bit big, but it was nothing you couldn't handle. Plus, you were grateful to have to have clean clothes that weren't stained with dirt and grass.
You gathered your old garments from the floor, wadding them up before opening the door.
Yunho pushed himself off the wall he was previously leaned against and turned to you, a soft blush blossoming on his cheeks.
He didn't realize how appealing you would look in his clothes. He was merely trying to assist you.
"Are they comfortable?" He managed to ask.
"They are."
"You might need a belt or something. That shirt is a little baggy. I have just the thing."
Yunho stepped into the room, momentarily removing his fake hook, and retrieved a scarf from his wardrobe. He held it up with a smile.
He approached you, his eyes meeting yours as he held the scarf out, as if you ask permission to proceed. You nodded and lifted your arms, allowing him to tie the thin scarf around your waist. You watched as his delicate and beautiful hands worked to tie the fabric, ensuring that your shirt fit better.
"There." He hummed to himself. "That should be much better now."
He turned around and retrieved his hook, slipping it back over his hand.
"Now, would you like a tour of the ship?"
"I would love that."
•
It had been four days since Yunho brought you into his ship and you couldn't be happier. You genuinely enjoyed your time with the captain and being at sea was more exciting than you thought it would be. Yunho and his crew often had celebrations on the deck, singing sea shanties and dancing like there was no tomorrow. The partying was often accompanied by some sort of alcohol.
During one of these celebrations, you and Captain Yunho shared a dance, which was so much fun and your favorite moment with him thus far.
"We're docking for a bit tomorrow to restock supplies." Yunho told you as you made your way to bed.
"Where do you get supplies?" You inquired.
"We scavenge the land for anything we can find and trade when we have to."
"Ah. How long will that take?"
"Not long. An hour, maybe two?"
"Okay." You nodded, letting out a yawn.
"You should get some rest." Yunho said.
You gave a sleepy nod.
"Goodnight." He whispered, pressing a quick kiss to your forehead.
The gesture made your heart jump, but you were too tired to think about it too much.
•
Once you docked on the beach, you decided to stretch your legs a bit. Yunho's crew got to work quickly, scouring the land for anything they could use. You felt bad just standing and watching, so you asked if you could assist anyone. Yunho politely declined, insisting that you just relax, so you did. Letting out a sigh, you made yourself comfortable on a rock that had been warmed by the sun.
Yunho and his crew went their separate ways, leaving the beach empty and vacant. You stretched your arms and legs, letting out a long sigh as your body relaxed, the heat radiating from the rock soothing your muscles.
Moments later, someone's hand clamp over your mouth, causing your eyes to snap open. Your first instinct was to try and escape, which is exactly what you did. You began to writhe and wiggle, trying to squirm out of your assailant's grip.
You somehow managed to catch a glimpse of the person who currently had their hand over your mouth. It was Hwanwoong, the rowdy leader of The Lost Boys. Seeing him prompted you to try even harder to get away. You even tried to scream, hoping to get someone's attention.
"Shh! Do you want them to hear you?" Hwanwoong hissed.
You struggled in his hold as he dragged you across the beach and through the sand. He was quick to pull you towards a small strip of land away from the main island. He then towed you to a nearby tree line where you saw the dreaded group of six boisterous boys you had escaped from days before.
Once shielded by the trees, Hwanwoong removed his hand from your mouth, but kept a tight hold on you.
"What are you doing?" You whispered harshly.
"What does it look like? We're rescuing you." Hwanwoong stated.
"I don't need to be rescued."
"Oh no. He's already gotten in her head." Keonhee voiced.
"She's been fooled. We need to get her back to the burrow as soon as possible." Seoho stated.
"We'll have to put her in containment for a while until she realizes that she's been brainwashed by pirates." Hwanwoong shook his head, a somber look on his face.
"What? I haven't been brainwashed. I want to stay with the pirates."
"It's worse than I thought." Dongju gasped, dramatically.
"She thinks she belongs with them." Dongmyeong added. "Look. She's even dressing like them."
"That's not—" Before you could finish your sentence, Geonhak came up and tied a piece of cloth around your mouth, the piece of fabric between your teeth, preventing you from speaking.
"Sorry, Y/n." Geonhak apologized quietly. "It's for your own good."
You tried to respond, but it was muffled.
Youngjo approached you with a serious expression as he tied your hands together tightly.
"Alright boys, let's go." Hwanwoong ordered.
You had no choice but to follow them. There were seven guys all around you, there was no way you'd be able to escape.
"Don't worry, Y/n." Dongmyeong spoke up, slinging his arm over your shoulder. "You'll be back to normal soon."
The boys took you back to their burrow and put you inside a homemade cell with wooden bars. You wanted to escape, but your hands were tied up and they kept a close eye on you all the way back, so you had no choice but to comply. The only good thing is that Hwanwoong removed the cloth from your mouth, however, your hands were still tied.
"Fellas, this calls for a celebration. We have our dear Y/n back!" Hwanwoong announced.
It didn't take long for the burrow to erupt in chaos. Every single one of them were yelling and throwing stuff across the room. You dropped your head.
This is exactly the behavior that made me want to leave in the first place. You thought to yourself.
"Y/n, aren't you happy to be back?" Dongju asked, approaching your cell, dirt smeared on his face thanks to his twin brother.
"I was happy right where I was." You snapped.
He pressed his lips together, shaking his head in disapproval. Keonhee then showed up, giving Dongju a pat on his back.
"Don't worry. A few days in there and she'll be back to normal." He assured his friend.
"I am normal." You groaned. "What don't you understand?"
"That filthy captain has her mind all mixed up." Dongju grimaced.
"Don't worry yourself. We have her back and that's all that matters. Let's celebrate!" Keonhee dragged Dongju away and back to the "party" leaving you to yourself.
Your finger traced patterns into the dirt floor, a sigh leaving you as you did so. You wondered if Yunho knew you were gone. Would he come looking for you? You would have assumed if he were looking for you, he would be here.
What if he doesn't come back? What if he didn't even notice you were gone?
The two of you had so much fun together over the last few days, you thought maybe you both had a connection.
You shook away the thought, finding it ridiculous that you would even think he'd abandon you, especially after all the fun you had.
Keeping your hopes up was harder than you presumed. The more time passed, the more you thought Yunho may not care about you as much as you thought he did.
He'll never come back and get me. You thought. He was only helping me because I didn't know the area. He'll probably forget about me if he hasn't already.
Meanwhile, Yunho was beginning to worry. Him and his crew were back on the ship, but you had yet to return.
"Captain, what's wrong?" Smee asked.
"Y/n hasn't come back yet. It's time for dinner and she's not here."
"Weren't you keeping an eye on her, sir?"
"I couldn't. Some of the crew needed my help."
Yunho remembered telling you to relax after you offered to help. He saw you lounging on a rock near the water not long after. You looked beautiful with the sun shining down on you, making your skin glow. Next thing he knew, one of his crew mates approached him asking for his assistance. When he came back, you were gone. He assumed you had gone on a walk and decided to wait for you, but you never showed.
"She can't have gone far." Smee assured Yunho.
"I don't think she would have ran off."
"You don't suppose something bad happened to her, do you?"
"I don't know." Yunho murmured, panic slowly rising in him.
He knew you were unfamiliar with the land and worried that you had wandered off to a place you didn't know. He didn't know if the mermaids had gotten you or if a crocodile had eaten you.
"We have to go find her, now." Yunho stated, firmly.
"It's too dark. The sun has set, we won't be able to do a proper search, even with lantern light." Smee tells the worried captain.
"Then we'll go first thing tomorrow." He turned towards his crew who seemed to have noticed his uneasy behavior.
"What are you all looking at?" He snapped.
Everyone immediately got back to work, turning their attention away from the stressed Captain.
The next morning, Yunho woke up bright an early, preparing for his search.
Yunho knew that you had previously stayed with The Lost Boys and ran away from them. Having met these boys before, Yunho knew exactly where their hideout was. He's had some disagreements with the boys before, so this wouldn't be his first time in their burrow.
He gathered some of his crew mates to assist him in case things got ugly.
"I know exactly where to search first." He told his crew. "Follow me."
The group trekked through the forest, headed straight towards The Lost Boys' burrow.
Yunho didn't know if you were there or not, but going to the burrow first seemed to be his best bet.
•
You opened your eyes and sat up, your muscles stiff from sleeping on a thin blanket laid over the dirt floor.
"Morning, sleepyhead." Hwanwoong greeted, floating around the room.
You grimaced at him and turned away.
"Giving me the silent treatment, huh?"
You didn't answer.
"Listen, Y/n, we're only trying to help you."
"You're not helping." You snapped. "I was happy with Yunho."
"Oh, so you're on a first-name basis with that pirate."
"You guys just jumped to conclusions and took me away." You continued, angrily.
"But you were with us first."
The sound of someone coming down the slide to the burrow caught your attention, but only for a moment. You assumed it was one of the boys coming back from setting traps in the woods or whatever it was they do. That's why you were surprised to see who emerged from the slide.
"Yunho?" You gasped.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw you.
"Y/n. Thank goodness."
"What's going on?" Seoho asked, hurrying into the room.
"We're under attack." Hwanwoong answered, pulling out a small knife.
"Give Y/n back and no one gets hurt." Yunho spoke.
"She belongs to us."
"No I don't." You spoke up. "Hwanwoong, let me go."
"No. You chose us."
"I didn't choose you. I thought you guys were the only people that lived on this island."
Hwanwoong paused.
"After finding out all you guys wanna do is play pranks and make messes, I decided to leave." You told him. "That's when I found Yunho. He offered me a place to stay and I've quite honestly enjoyed my time with him."
Hwanwoong's brows pulled together as he turned to Yunho.
"You heard the girl. Now let her go." The pirate ordered, his hand hovering over the handle of his sword.
The rest of The Lost Boys were watching cautiously, waiting to see what would happen.
"So you don't like us?" Youngjo asked you.
"No, that's not it. You're all just too rowdy for my liking. I wouldn't enjoy my time here."
"And you're not brainwashed?" Hwanwoong asked.
You sighed. "No."
"C'mon boys." Yunho urged. "What do you say? Will you listen to the girl and let her go with who she wants to be with?"
Hwanwoong glanced back at the boys who all gave him small nods.
"Fine." He sighed, walking over to open up the cell door.
He untied your wrists and allowed you to reunite with Yunho. You immediately ran up and enveloped him in a hug, taking in his natural scent that was accompanied by a hint of salt water.
"I'm never leaving you alone. I don't wanna lose you again." Yunho whispered.
"Alright. You have Y/n back." Hwanwoong stated.
"Yes. Thank you. We'll be on our way now."
The boys all gave a small nod as Yunho guided you to a ladder that led above ground.
"Y/n." Seoho called out.
"Yes?"
"Will you come and visit every once in a while?"
You turned to Yunho who gave you a nod.
"Of course."
Yunho hadn't let go of your hand all the way back to the Jolly Roger, even now that you were safe and sound on the ship, he kept his hand clasped with yours. The vessel departed from the dock. You and Yunho stood and watched as you drifter further away from land.
"I'm so glad you're okay." Yunho spoke up, his hand squeezing yours. "I thought something bad happened to you."
"What do you mean?"
"I thought you had wandered off and that the mermaids got you, or even a crocodile."
"Nope." You chuckled. "Just kidnapped by heathens."
"I'm relieved. You getting kidnapped made me realize some things and l'd like to tell you them if you don't mind."
"Of course I don't mind. Go on."
"I've really enjoyed my time with you over the past few days. You've brought immense joy to not only this ship, but me as well. I know we've only known each other for less than a week, but I care deeply for you and, if I'm being honest, I've grown quite fond of you."
Yunho's confession made you feel warm inside. No one had ever said that to you before and it made you happy. The pirate was right, you had only known him for five days now, but you felt exactly the same as him.
He brought so much joy to you as well. You were more than grateful that he offered his assistance and gave you a place to stay. He stayed on top of his duties as captain, but also made time to check on you and show you around the ship
"I've grown fond of you as well." You admitted.
Yunho smiled hearing that as he turned to face you. He seemed to have a natural glow to him as he gazed into your eyes, his heart pounding. Slowly, he inched his face closer, letting you know what he wanted.
You leaned in, closing the space between you and Yunho, your lips colliding. The kiss was short, but lingered on your lips even after Yunho pulled away. You glanced down at your feet, feeling bashful after the brief kiss.
Yunho place his finger under your chin, tilting your face up to look at him.
"I have captain duties to tend to, but maybe later tonight you and I can have ourselves a little date." He quirked a brow, the corner of his mouth tilting upwards.
Your lips pulled into a smile. "I'd like that."
