Chapter 11: Reunion

Three days have passed by, constantly traveling until finally Treasure has spotted the island in the distance.

“Come on! Come on! We are almost there!” San says, his excitement taking over his whole body along with joy.

Yeosang was just as excited as San was, maybe even more because he could finally see his sister again. The both of them didn't get a second of sleep due to the huge mix of emotions of this journey to find Wooyoung and Kiyeon again.

“Lets prepare the longboats! Mingi, you will stay here with Yunho and Jonho to watch over the ship. The rest of us will take long boats” Hongjoong ordered them and the cook and navigator immediately went to the long boats as fast as they could.

Seonghwa heads to his room to grab a few things before they go off to get the two crew mates. Since he saw the condition that Wooyoung was in he grabbed some medicine, bandages, and other equipment to help the boy when they get there.

A few minutes later after Hongjoong gave the orders, the officers set out on the longs boat. Hongjoong was on one, Seonghwa on another, and San and Yeosang on the last one. They hope that they will have enough room to be able to handle the 11 people aboard, as they don't know about Woojins betrayal.

They arrive shortly after, pulling up to the shore and placing the boats onto the sand. They look around to see any hints to help find the two, soon finding an abandoned camp but no one to be found. The stranded ten have moved to the caves due to the heat.

“Where are they…?” San looks around at everyone, biting his lip in fear as he continues to look around. Everyone was trying their best to find one another until Seonghwa spotted something dashing from the trees, seeming like it was going to attack Yeosang.

“Yeosang!” A loud voice screamed that anyone on the island could hear. Without anytime to process what was going on Yeosang was tackled into a hug, moving his face a bit to realize it was his sister and immediately hugging back.

“Holy shit..Kiyeon you’re safe.” He says softly as he continues their embrace, smiling through the tears that were falling from his face.

“Kiyeon, where is Wooyoung and the others?” Seonghwa asked softly as he watched the twins parted from their hug.

“Come on. Hurry.” She says as she leads them towards the cave they all rested in.

“Chan.” Hongjoong said with a small smile, walking up to him as the two leaders embraced in a hug. Everyone near them smiled, seeing the two reunite once again. However Seonghwa remembered about Wooyoung and went straight to where Jisung was, patting his shoulder.

“I can take it from here now.” Seonghwa gently told the medic, who gave a nod as a response.

"Wooyoung..?" San says walking away from the others to see what his lovers condition, a gasp escaping his lips. His eyes immediately teared up as he tried to get closer to him, only for Minho to hold him back.

"Just, let Seonghwa do what he needs to do." He says to the taller one who wanted to protest and protect the boy in pain but nods, knowing it is the safer option.

"Chan, we have long boats that should fit all of us. You all are welcome to stay on the Treasure as long as you need. But i do have a question, where is Woojin hyung?" Hongjoong asked to Chan to get things going and to get some questions answered.

The other leader's smile faded away when he heard Hongjoong's question, looking away before he started to explain. "He is. He is no longer part of the crew anymore." was all Chan could say. Hongjoong was clearly confused as he took a bit of time to think about what Chan had told him before, understanding most of the situation.

"Alright. Once Seonghwa gets Wooyoung stable we will head back to the Treasure." Chan says to move on from the conversation, patting the other captain's shoulder.

Later that night everyone from the island came onto the Treasure, the crew and officers helping everyone get situated. Kieyon and Wooyoung were back home along with extra help, StrayKids. After the other officers heard what happened they asked the leader what happened to the crew. Chan didn't know.

All the officers were now sitting on the deck, eating and taking a break getting to know one another. Except for Wooyoung and San who are in the infirmary together, keeping each other company. While Yeosang has refused to ever leave his sister's side, during that time he has noticed that one of the crew members from StrayKids was constantly staring at her with a smile. "Uh.. Hey sis, why does Felix keep staring at you?" He gently whispered to her.

A light shade of pink appeared on her face after hearing what her brother said. "No reason oppa…" she says while trying to hide her smile.

"Hmmmhmmm." He says; eyeing Felix one more time before wrapping an arm around his sister, focusing his attention back onto Chan to listen to their adventures.

"We traveled for months. Mapping everything we could. Meeting other crews and finding shipwrecks. We even discovered land. Its larger than any of them islands we have seen before." Chan says with a small smile, loving to tell others his stories.

"Yeah! We were sailing towards the west as far as we could go and started to see a vast stretch of land. It looked like it didn't even end." Jeongin happily adds to Chan's story before his smile slowly faded away.

"If we were to go there.. there's a chance that we would meet the bandit crew that took our ship.. and we'd see him again." Hyunjin added in, knowing no one would want to do it but it was important to let them know.

"Then we should go there. Get your ship back. Get you guys your revenge. And we can explore the new land. I see it as a win-win scenario." Hongjoong says with a confident smile to encourage the others and bring their spirits up.

"The thing is.. we wouldn't be able to get our ship back. We found its remains scattered in the water surrounding the island. I assume they took everything they needed from it and destroyed the ship." Seungmin looked at the other captain with a sad frown. Minho places his hand over the Seungmins frown while smiling, trying not to bring down the mood again.

"Don't worry. You all are welcome to stay and travel with us as long as you wish." Hongjoong says kindly while looking at the crew mates. "Now, I say we take a few days to relax, maybe gather some supplies that we can from the island, and spend time together again." He suggested to everyone, earning nods from the officers of both crews.

Later that night, the officers of Straykids have been moved into rooms getting settled in and getting ready to rest for the night. Everyone was sound asleep except for a certain orange haired straykid, no matter how hard he tried he just couldn't stop thinking about her. The way her eyes just sparkled and the way she smelled like roses...he couldn't think of anything else but her, which makes him feel guilty. He got up from his bed head and headed out leaving the room he shared with Chan and Changbin to get some fresh air, making sure he didn't make a sound while leaving, he hoped that the fresh air would clear his mind a little. He started heading to the deck but stopped dead in his tracks as he heard a soft song being hummed.

Kiyeon was at the point of the ship looking out watching the waves of the ocean hit the land moving the sand softly, humming an old siren tune trying to pass the time. She never really knew where these songs originated from not thinking it was an old tune of a siren. For she was always ridiculed for singing.

"Your voice is lovely…" A deep soothing voice says as she hears footsteps behind her. A small smile appears on her face as she feels two strong arms wrap around her waist and weight being placed on her shoulders, knowing it was Felix.

"Cant sleep either Felix?" She asked in a soft tone as she glanced over at him with a smile.

"Sleep can be a hard thing to get with this life. Always looking over your shoulder to make sure there is no danger near. Having to make sure all of your crew mates are in good condition...hmm…" He sighs softly before lifting his head off her shoulder looking down at her. "Maybe now I'll sleep peacefully because now you will be the only thing in my dreams." He responds with a smile giving her cheek a gentle peck.

Her face breaks into a smile as she chuckles softly looking up at him, a blush slowly appearing on her cheeks. "Well, aren't you just an adorable little thing." She teases, turning her whole body to face him. She leans against the rails smiling up at him.

"Well lovely, I'm not as adorable as you are beautiful." He says chuckling at what he just said. He calls down looking into her eyes and gently places his hands on her waist. "Is this okay with you…?" He asks softly, not wanting to make her feel uncomfortable with where his hands are placed.

"This is okay...no need to worry Felix." She responds with a smile still plastered on her face as she places her hands on the railing pushing herself up so she's sitting directly on top of the railing, having Felix's hands as support. She looks up being almost eye height with the younger boy.

"Careful, I don't want you to fall and hurt yourself badly....then I would feel as if it was my fault" he says gently getting closer to her standing between her legs having a tighter grip on her waist. He looks over at her light blue eyes feeling as though he's getting lost in them.

"I won't fall because I know you will always be there to save me from danger." She says smiling softly at him as she places her arms around his neck letting them hang loosely. She looked into his brown eyes, leaning in,she gently placed a pack on his soft lips. "Felix, you make me so happy...even though we only met not long ago I feel like I can talk to you about everything and it will be safe with you." She says as she pulls away looking up into his eyes once more.

"I understand that feeling...it feels like I've known you for a long time just being here…" He says softly looking at the waves, thinking about someone else, but gets cut off as he hears her voice

"Alone...with you" she says, finishing his sentience close to a whisper as she looks at his lips then back at his eyes.

The rest of that night was a blur for the two, starting with a gentle kiss then ending up alone in one of the spare bedrooms.

Kiyeon never felt this type of pleasure she felt that night, it didn't feel forced or just a one time thing. It felt real,the way that Felix worshiped her body, the things he called her, the way he made everything perfect for her that night. The feelings she had before have only grown for the younger boy. While he only became more confused, he enjoyed the night he had with Kiyeon but was unsure if what he was doing was what he truly wanted. He knew he had some feeling for her but knew for a fact that he didn't feel a strong bond that night like Kiyeon felt for him.

He just didn't want to be with her anymore.

The next morning the two crews are up and eating breakfast together, happy that Wooyoung was back with his group, still in pain but his wound being slightly healed thanks to Seonghwa. Everyone is talking, asking Wooyoung how he felt on the island, however Yeosang is silent, watching closely he notices the close proximity in which Kiyeon and Felix are sitting.

"Alright guys, you are free to spend the day to relax and explore the island if you please. In the meantime while you all find time to relax or explore we are gonna make a plan about our next move and where we should head next." The captain states walking up to the officers with Chan and Seonghwa.

"So hyung, what should be our next move be?" Yeosang asks, looking over at his captain.

"I think that we should find that fucker and teach him a lesson till he begs for forgiveness..." Hyunjin mutters as he looks away.

"What was that? can you speak louder?" Chan asks looking at the younger one, knowing where this is going.

"Hyung don't act like you don't know. We all are thinking it, I'm just saying I want to get revenge, I want him to be bleeding from head to toe as he goes on his knees begging for forgiveness. I want to see the fear in his eyes when I don't stop, because clearly he loved seeing the fear in our maknae's eyes, my boyfriend's eyes, I want him to be screaming in pain Chan...he caused pain to us all so he deserves the worst pain we can give. I'm gonna make sure his breath is still, that his heart has stopped that he will burn in hell where he belongs!" Hyunjin says raising his voice slowly as he looks at his captain.

"Hyunjin I know that's how you feel bu-" Chan starts, trying to calm him down.

"We all feel a sense of rage towards woojin. He has gotten away with to fucking much. He hurt our maknae, he abandoned us on a stranded island just to be with that damn bandit crew led by Jaewoon, he left the only person that loved him behind and there is no way he can fix the hole he put in my heart and in ours. I want all of us to put our anger out on him just like he did to the rest of us with no fucking end. I want to hear him beg for forgiveness towards me but I won't stop till his breath slowly fades away. I want that fucking disappointment of a boy to leave this world and burn in hell where he FUCKING BELONGS!" Seungmin interrupts Chan, his voice full of pain and anger as his eyes slowly start to tear up from being abandoned.

While the members of StrayKids were arguing Wooyoung quickly gets up from his chair and heads to his room not wanting to hear any of it.

Full of concern both Kiyeon and San follow him to his room. "Wooyoung-ah?" Kiyeon says gently as she knocks on his door but to no response. She slowly opens the door letting herself in. The two see Wooyoung sitting on his bed curled up into a ball as he was shaking, tears falling down his eyes.

San sees him and quickly makes his way to his lover, sitting beside him pulling him to a tight hug. "Baby...Woo what's wrong? Can you tell me anything.. why are you crying?" He asks gently as he slowly combs Wooyoungs hair with his hand to soothe him.

After a few minutes of San trying to comfort the gunner, Wooypong finally stops crying but continues to shake as Seonghwa walks in seeing the situation. "I'll talk to him, you two go on and relax for the day." He says gently as he looks at them. San reluctantly lets go of his partner and gets up before giving him a gentle kiss on his forehead. The two walk out still worried about Wooyoung, Seonghwa shuts the door and locks it behind him.

"What do you think is going on San?" Kiyeon asks looking over at the cook whose face is full of worry.

"I might have an idea, before Wooyoung joined this crew when he was held captive by a bandit crew for most of his teenage life. I think when Seungmin talked about the bandit crew might have triggered some bad memories from his past." San explains as he sits down biting his nail, his face still full of worry. He looked over at the locked door and sighs softly looking down. "Hyungs got this…I know it…" He mumbles under his breath before getting up and heading to the deck.

With curiosity filling up inside her Kiyeon walks up to the door and presses her ear against it hoping to listen in to the conversation.

"I was a teenager......I couldn't kill the entire bandit crew...I-I...killed one...and I ran for dear life. I fucking ran as fast as i could to the point my legs felt numb….if Jaewoon recognizes me….he’ll kill me hyung...right in front of all of you…" She heard Wooyoung stammer.

"Why didn't you tell Hongjoong and I sooner? We didn't need to be at edge but now with this information we have to make sure you're safe. Why didn't you tell us you did this?" Seonghwa asks gently and places a hand on the boy's shoulder trying to calm him down.

"B-Because i was scared...I'm still scared because I feel as though they will take me away from this ship...and this ship is the only place i feel safe in.." The gunner admits looking down. Although normally having a bubbly and smiling exterior, there is a scarred and emotionally damaged boy underneath.

"That must be why it was so hard for you to adjust to being a part of this crew….I'm so sorry Wooyoung" the eldest says as he pulls Wooyoung into a tight hug. "But just so you know Wooyoung i'll promise you this...they will never lay a finger on you again. I'll make sure of it" he says softly as he feels the younger boy nod against his chest.

"Thank you hyung...for understanding…" He says softly.

Kiyeon slowly backs away from the door before heading back out to the others where she once again takes a seat next to her twin. "Hey...is Wooyoung okay?" Yeosang asks worried

"No need to worry Seonghwa is talking to him." She says before picking up her glass and taking a sip of her drink.

Yeosang nods slowly and takes a sip of his drink looking ahead, not making eye contact with his sister. "I've also been meaning to ask you, what with the marks all over your neck?" He asks looking over at her direction tilting his head a bit to the side.

Kiyeon's eyes widened from the sudden question and started to cough, choking on her drink. A dark red blush slowly forming on her cheeks as she recalls the previous night she had with the StrayKids member. She looks over at Felix, with a look of panic. However Felix was too busy to notice the sudden question as he was watching Chan and Changbin talking with one another, deep in thought.

"Kiyeon...hello why are you looking at-" Yeosang begins to say but instead stops and quickly stands up from the table gaining everyone's attention. "DID YOU SLEEP WITH MY SISTER?!" He yells glaring at Felix, his hand being placed on his gun that was on his belt. Felix quickly turns around seeing Yeosang glaring at him. He finally realizes the situation that was going on and looks back at Chan and Changbin for help. Changbin looks at Felix with a look of hurt and disgust while Chan looks confused with what is happening around him.

Everyone had their eyes on the three as Kiyeon stood up between the two men. "W-wait I can explain" she stutters.

"Answer the question Kiyeon. Did. You. Two. Sleep. Together?" Yeosang asks as his face is getting more angry by the second.

After a few moments of silence and hesitation she glances back at Felix who was looking back between Chan, Changbin and Yeosang. She takes a deep breath before answering the question. "Yes." She says looking back at her brother.
