"So where do you want to start" asked the interviewer, sitting opposite the boy across from him. Sitting in an office chair that had a few cushioned bits to make up for its wooden framing whilst the one the other boy sat on was that of wood and wood only.
"Well I think we should start at the beginning sir," Jimin said with a smile, looking down into his lap where his figures fiddled nervously "It was called the ship of dreams....and it was....."
3rd person PVO:
"Come on Jimin"! Taehyung shouted whilst dragging Jimin through the crowd, Jimin stumbling behind him as he struggled to keep his footing under him as they walked/ran quickly.
"Alright, jeez the bar isn't going anywhere yah know," Jimin resorted back at the other, trying to keep his eyes up to avoid the crowds of people but also looking back down to make sure he didn't trip over anything.
"Yeah but that ship is," Taehyung answered back quickly, gesturing towards the large ship at the dock that was currently boarding passengers of a higher rank.
Taehyung was Jimin's best friend, they had known each other since they were practically born. Their mothers knowing each other from when they were teenagers, Jimin's mother owned a small local shop in the small village they lived in whilst Taehyun's mother worked on a farm along with her husband. Jimin didn't have a father figure thanks to his so-called father walking out on his mother in the first few months he was born.
With their mothers being close and Taehyuns coming to the store quite frequently to drop off products or pick up supplies, the boys were soon introduced and became friends faster than anyone would have thought. Jimin being constantly invited to be up on the farm where the boys spent most of their days, until older where Taehyun's father offered him to work up the farm as a source of income for the teenager with having a slight discount at the shop as a deal. Jimin gladly taking the offer along with Taehyun who also worked under his father.
Taehyun was a tall lean boy, taller than Jimin by a clear amount but not too tall that Jimin had to crane his neck up to look him in the eyes. He had a tones face with soft brown eyes that almost looked like they were drooping at times, the soft colour of brown making them look all the more puppyish. His medium brown hair was pushed forward to cover his forehead, scattered bits of a greenish/blue was in his fringe. This was due to the fact that the boy had found a bit of dye leftover in the house and decided to experiment with it, him the now having a green/blue and brown hairdo. He was quite broad across the shoulder too, although his body was quite petit for his hight. Currently wearing a black melton letting his hair sightly peak through, a white button-up shirt, black trousers and suspenders up over his shoulders and his dad's coat in his free arm that wasn't dragging Jimin.
Jimin was smaller in size than Taehyung, his light brown hair that sometimes looked ginger in some lighting was also brushed forward in a messy manner. He had slightly bigger eyes than Taehyung but they still held that soft atmosphere to them, his face also holding softer features but still held a strong jawline. He was wearing some light brown trousers and suspenders along with, a white vest shirt under neither with a dark brown button-up shirt loosely over the top.
As they entered the bar, they saw their friends all gathered around a table in the corner of the small bar. A round counter bending around with the shape of the room as it was 'L' shaped. Letting go of Jimin as they were now finally inside, a smirk grew on his face as their friends hadn't noticed them. Jimin followed closely behind as they approach the table.
"Hey, ass wipes" Taehyun spoke in a deeper voice than his own, that phrase getting the groups attention.
"Why you little" One of them growled as they turned around in their seat, his hard expression quickly softening as he seen who it was. "Tae you asshole," Jungkook spoke as he whacked Taehyung's arm, Taehyun laughing before they grabbed a seat and sat down at the table.
"So what ya got then?" Namjoon, the non-official leader of the group, asked placing his elbows on the table as he leaned in, looking over at Jin on the opposite side of the table.
" Alright, I got to tickets for that ship over there" he spoke pointing out of the window, excitement building on the table as he continued to speak. "Its simple highest card wins, no questions asked," Jin said placing the tickets in the middle and dealing out a card to everyone that he had stashed away on his back pocket.
"Three, two, one" Hoseok said as one by one the boys turned their cards.
"Yes," Jungkook shouted seeing he had the highest card so far on the table, his eyes almost gleaming at the tickets in the middle of the table.
" Sorry Tae," Jimin said turning to face Taehyung when it was his turn, Taehyun had already been and lost with quite some low cards compared to everyone else.
"Urgh I should have known is was bull anyway," Taehyung said throwing his card on the table in defeat, slouching back in his chair.
Jimin immediately had a smirk on his face " I'm sorry that your gonna have to say goodbye to your parents" He said making Taehyung raise an eyebrow in confusion, Jimin then answering the question that was lingering in everyone's head at the table by placing his card on the table.
"What"! Jungkook said looking confused.
"Ace beats five baby"! Jimin shouted, jumping up from his seat which made peoples attention turn to them, Taehyung having only just protested what just happened and what Jimin just said to him.
"So that means," Taehyung said rising up from his seat, his eyes wide as Jimin came to join him on his side of the table. The others just watching the scene in front of them.
" We're going to America"! Jimin said grabbing the tickets of the table, high-fiving Taehyung.
"Have a good time guys"! Jin said as they are about to leave the bar, quickly running back to their homes to pack as lower-class boarded last so they had a little time to get some things to take.
"Better luck next time," Jin said trying to comfort the younger as he slouched down in his chair, a pout clear on his face as his bottom lip jutted out.
" Come on, come on"! Jimin shouted back to Taehyung, both having suitcases in their hands as they were running a bit late even though first-class passengers were running late too. Lower-class passengers had no excuses to be late unlike the privileged.
As they both ran they were smiling, quickly pushed passed all the 'upper class' people getting on the ship whilst laughing all the way, but getting stairs and snorts of disapproval, but chose to ignore it, they were too overjoyed right now. As they ran up the boarding route, almost getting ready to close "Wait"! Jimin shouted, " We're passengers!".
"Have you been through security"? a crew member asked, adjusting his hat on top of his head as he looked unamused at the two scruffs before him.
"Of course," Jimin lied, they just rushed through and they were already late he didn't have time to stop for security. Keeping up the lie as he showed the tickets to the man, the man examining them before sighing and punching a hole through them to show they had been approved.
"Come on then, quickly before we leave," the crew member said whilst moving aside, an annoyed expression clear on his face but Jimin decided to ignore him.
"Thank you," he said with a forced smile as he walked past him, Taehyung following him closely behind but he didn't hide his disgust toward the man with a scowl clear on his face. He hated when people acted like that, it was just plain rude and ignorant.
After going down a load of steps, asking for directions at least 7 times and going down some long corridors they finally found their room " 201, this must be it" Taehyung said to Jimin as he got the keys out from his pocket he got given at reception.
Jimin nodded before unlocking the door and walking through.
The room wasn't every big just a simple room with two beds, a table, a wardrobe and a bathroom.
' Not too bad' Jimin thought to himself as he nodded, going and taking the bed closest to the bathroom and throwing his suitcase onto it.
"At least we got this room to ourselves, " Taehyung said with a smile, dumping his stuff on the other one opposite Jimin. Going to open it before Jimin started to talk again.
"Yeah, now come on we can unpack later, I want to go up on top for when we leave," he said as he grabbed his black jacket and chucked it on, Taehyun readjusting his cap before they both made their way up to the top of the decks.
Yoongi's POV:
As we arrive at the docks, being helped out by coachmen, I can't help but let my thoughts travel how I'm really going to miss this place. How the leaves change in the Autumn and how the town is always joyfully lit and happy, even if I'm not allowed to go there that often, I do sneak out now and again though. But I have to be careful not to be seen by people who would recognise my family, I can't have it ruining our family name.
"Come on Yoongi dear, we are going to miss it otherwise," my mother said to me in her overly posh accent, she put it on when we're in public. She never talked like that when were we alone. Even if she is my mother I never want to end up like her, she thinks she is better than everyone just because she's got a bit of green under her belt.
As we head towards our boarding station, two boys run past. They look like they are having the time of their lives, how I wish I could have been brought up like that. With no rules or expectations just me having fun and living life as I wanted to , not how my parents imagined it. I give a faint smile at the hyper boys before heading to bored what I'm calling it 'The ship to hell'. Being forced to come along because of my stupid parents, I'd rather stay here, to be honest.
"Good evening Mrs.and Mr Min " the crew member says to my parents, 'I haven't even been on here 2 minutes and I already want to jump off' I thought to myself as I rolled my eyes. I just give them a faint smile and enter the ship, I really didn't understand why they put on the voices. Just talk like a normal human being for god sake, why did they feel the need to have to put on an accent when talking to certain classed people. Guess that was just the society of today, and I hated it.
The ship was amazing, all the bright colours and beautiful details like the red carpet and marble desks, along with the crystal chandeliers and amazing sculptures.
"Amazing isn't it," my father said giving me a thump on the back bring me out of my daydream, he was a lot better than my mother. He understood me a lot more than she did and let me get away with a lot more than my mother would, he was the one that convinced me to actually come and not jump off a bridge instead. That was a joke, there was no way my mother was letting me get out of this that easily.
"Yes, very," I said looking up at him, him smiling down knowing I still wasn't all there from my daydreaming just now.
"Come on let's go find our room," My mother said walking off to find our room, me and my father following close on her heels so she would scream at us later for looking tardy when walking. She was a woman of very high standards, god help my father, he's married to her.
Ten minutes later we finally arrived at our room. It was amazing, there was a fireplace, beautiful art all along the walls, a stunning living area and even an outside area to have food at. It was true money couldn't by happiness, but it could buy comfort.
What do you think"? my father asked me as he placed a hand on my shoulder.
" It's alright," I said still, knowing it would get under my mother's skin and that's exactly what I wanted to happen. She scoffed before walking off to her room, my father sighs.
"I know you don't want to be here, but can you at least fake it for your mother's sake, and mine" he added at the end, I knew he would get it from her at the end of the day since that's the type of person she was.
"Fine" I sighed, I was doing this for his sake, not hers. "Mother can we please go up to the top, I really want to watch us leave," I asked as she was fussing in her bedroom, bossing the maids around as they put her clothes in the draws.
"You want to go up there, with, with 'those' people"? she asked giving me a confused look, a frown on her face as she placed a hand on her hip.
" Yes," I replied seriously, "you can stay here if you really want, I'm not forcing you to come with me" I spoke calmly, trying my nest to act appropriately since we had company in the room.
"Fine" she sighed waving me off with her hand. That was all I needed to be gone and out of the door, even if I had no clue where I was going.
After being directed to the top I finally came to the top. The breeze was flowing through my hair as I breathed in the fresh air. For once I felt free like nothing could stop me not even my god damn mother. I made my way to the railing, realized it wasn't close enough for my liking and made my way towards the bottom deck of the ship finally being able to see everything around me. Some of the first-class passengers looking at me wired as I made my way to the lower decks, those were where all the third class passengers where. But I didn't care, I just wanted a good view and I was going to get it no matter where it was on the ship. Everyone down below waving and cheering, like they were coming along with us, even though they weren't, it felt like they were.
I suddenly hear the laughter from earlier and turn my head to see the same exact boys standing by the railings waving at everyone. One of the boys slightly taller than the other , with brown hair and a box smile on his face. The other had cute cheeks, an adorable smile that most people would die for. He looked so happy and joyful, and it looked like it was genuine. That was something you would see quite rare these days.
The loud sound of the horn suddenly brought me out of my trance from the boy. I quickly leaned over and waved the people below goodbye and smiling like crazy, for once I was alone without my parents.
Jimin's POV:
As the horn sounded, me and Taehyung waved at the people below us.
"Goodbye.......I'll miss you!" I shouted at my friends I could see in the crowded as they waved back. I knew they couldn't hear me but I just felt like shouting it.
My attention was then taken by a pale looking boy with some strands of pink hair looking over the railing. He was obviously in the upper class of travelling judging by his clothes. But he was different.
He wasn't dressed in a suit or a posh outfit, fit for a ball. He was simply wearing a back t-shirt tucked into some black pants and some casual shoes, he really was something. He didn't look like he belonged in the first class. If it wasn't for his clothes I would have thought he was staying in the same conditions as us. But that hair, that dyed hair was definitely something.
I turned my attention back to the shore as we set sail, to a better life and future. I grabbed Taehyung round by the neck and gave him a hug.
"What was that for?" he asked smiling as I let go again.
"It just felt right, plus I'm just overjoyed right now," I said giving him and eye smile, I sometimes acted without thinking. That sometimes ended well, but other times it didn't.
After that, we spent the rest of the day unpacking and exploring the ship to where we were allowed to go. But we also took notes of how to get to place we weren't allowed to go. It wasn't like they could throw us off, we were on the ocean for peak's sake.
(A/N): Hello! So after a loooong time, I'm actually going back and editing this story! I wrote this when I was very young and didn't really know how to write too good of a story. So, I am going back and editing it to match my now current style of writing at 17 in comparison to when I first published this at 14/15. I will hopefully be doing this every Monday along with uploading that of my new Vkook story. If you haven't please give it a look and check it out! I would very much appreciate it! Hopefully, my writing has improved compared to the other chapters I haven't edited yet. To let you know which ones have been edited I will title the chapter like so: *~ Chapter (whatever number)*~ so it will show up as slightly different so both I and the readers can see what chapter I have done and the ones I haven't. Also a massive thank you for 17K reads! It means so much to me that people enjoy my work! Thank you for all the support with the votes and comments! It really makes my day!! Until next week! Happy reading! Annyeong!
