The next time Taehyung awoke from his slumber, he was feeling like utter and complete shit to voice his misery out in the rough words of pirates. His head was pounding and mocking him for slipping yesterday, getting wasted with the whole purpose to forget and today he was rewarded by a monstrous headache in the size of an entire country.

Needless to say, Taehyung spend the first half of the day hanging his head over the railing and feeding the fish with the insides of his stomach. Alongside with small groans and tired complains not much was leaving the prince's mouth much to the amusement of the entire ship who took their devilish fun in commenting at his hangover misery.

"Yo, do you think the fish can see the inside of his throat by now?"

"Pretty sure he dies when we feed him some crackers."

"You wanna try that out?"

"We could annoy Wooyoung too! Where are the crackers?"

"Randell, you only get your own fist shoved up your ass when you try that, remember last time?"

"You're very no fun!"

"Can you shut the fuck up, my head is pounding enough already thank you", Taehyung grumbled, head resting on his arms while he was still halfway hanging over the railing, earning snickers and even louder yells in response.

"The little majesty is not used to our heavy alcohol, boo hoo!", they hollered and Taehyung threw them a weak glare. "No", he grumbled, turning his head back to the railing and exhaling loudly. "Never again", he whined, feeling his sore throat and pounding head was enough for him to never get to close to a bottle ever again.

"Here, this should help you", a friendly voice suddenly said next to him and Taehyung weakly looked up to see a smiling Yunho standing next to him, offering him a little bluish bottle. "It's medicine to help with your hangover", Yunho smiled at the little prince, pitying his state and wanting to help.

"Wooyoung has hangovers so often that I took it upon me to mix something to help hangovers", Yunho chuckled when Taehyung eyed the bottle and carefully took it. "As long as it helps", Taehyung mumbled and took a huge gulp, immediately cringing and coughing because the liquid was not only bitter but tasted far worse than the most horrible thing he has ever tasted.

"This tastes disgusting", Taehyung whined yet Yunho encouraged him to take another gulp from the bottle, then another until the small bottle was empty and Taehyung was feeling less horrible. His doe eyes widened almost comically by this realization and he looked at Yunho.

"I don't feel icky anymore!", he exclaimed innocently excited and equally relieved, making Yunho smile secretly and bow his head. "I'm a medic after all", he sneakily revealed and gasped because he was not ready to be hugged by the black haired prince who seemed so purely happy that his pain has disappeared.

"Thank you so much, Yunho!", Taehyung exclaimed cutely with a goofy smile on his lips while staring up to Yunho who backed slightly away upon seeing the pretty male this close. "You're welcome. If you excuse me, I still want to live on to give Wooyoung some of this", Yunho quickly said and gently removed Taehyung's arms from him before stepping back.

Taehyung furrowed his brows but his mouth turned into an o form when he saw the dark glare thrown into their direction by none other than the captain, hungry eyes scanning Taehyung's luscious frame and the little prince shrieked before a blush formed on his face.

Did something happen between them last night? Because Taehyung since he woke up now always felt eyes boring into him, dark lusted eyes that kept eating him alive and made him shy away from how hot and bothered he felt.

"Hangover huh", the nearby voice made Taehyung jump approximately ten feet high into the air before he whipped around with wide puppy eyes only to shakily breathe out a laugh. "H-Hoseok", he stuttered out intimidated upon seeing Jeongguk's first mate who leaned against the railing with a soft smile.

"Are you okay now? I saw Yunho talking to you and I wanted to make sure you're not in pain", Hoseok said friendly and Taehyung offered him an equal shy smile before turning to look down at his already fiddling fingers, a habit he developed whenever he was feeling nervous.

Hoseok on the other side admired Taehyung's gorgeous side profile and felt himself falling back into the recent dream he loved to have. It involved the pretty prince moaning under him in pleasure. 

When Taehyung turned his head, Hoseok quickly changed his predatory look into a charming smile. "Yes, he gave me this bottle and made my headache go away", Taehyung timidly said, causing Hoseok to smile wider from his cuteness. "It'd be a shame for that pretty head to hurt right?", Hoseok said with a friendly smile but it caused Taehyung's smile to flatten.

"Yeah, right", the little prince mumbled shyly. An uncomfortable silence grew in between them and Hoseok actually wanted to say something while Taehyung was staring out to the sea. His black hair was waving in the air, softly framing his gorgeous face and taking Hoseok's breath away. It was hard to believe that this little angel was on their ship, in the middle of brutality and Hoseok would've tried to have him as his own if it weren't for the circumstances.

An angry wave made Hoseok look up and he was met with Jeongguk's dark eyes, knowing that the captain wanted to speak to him and his fists clenched to his sides. He has always respected Jeongguk but something about the presence of the beautiful angel made him furious. 

Hoseok wanted Taehyung to himself but just like always, the captain got to claim all the good things, including gorgeous princes like the little angel standing next to him at the railing. But Hoseok was just the first mate, and not the captain. He should obey Jeongguk and if not, he was doing mutiny. 

And that was something he would never dream to do.

"If you excuse me, my prince", Hoseok politely said and Taehyung looked up surprised upon hearing his royal title in not a mocking way. "Wait!", he called out sweetly for the man and Hoseok turned around, surprised to be stopped by the beautiful prince.

When he looked back, he was met with astonishing puppy eyes that took his breath from how beautiful Taehyung was. "Why are you using my title? Shouldn't you hate me?", Taehyung asked in such a tiny voice that it was absolutely adorable. Hoseok felt his chest tighten from how unsure he sounded.

"Because you are from royal blood. And I was raised to treat others with respect. Unlike some crew members, I do not have a deep hatred for royals, I might not tolerate their doings but that does not mean you're less than us", Hoseok politely explained to Taehyung and saw a flash of surprise through his eyes before a gorgeous smile formed on his lips.

"Thank you", he softly told Hoseok who bowed his head, chest warming from the sweet words and he knew his own words must've mean so much for the young prince, their poor captive.

"Don't stay out here for too long. Jimin would love to get you in your claws and let me tell you, you do not want that."
