;wake the dead

hiding behind a pair of sunglasses, haeun looked around at the gathered people. quietly, she had to wonder if it was unethical to be participating in the big scavenger hunt? after all, she was part of the pirate descendants that helped put together the chest that would be given to the winner or winners. but after a moment of thinking like that, she remembered that she was extremely competitive and was willing to crush someone’s spirit to win. so, there she was carefully studying her clues when she caught sight of one of her cousins out of the corner of her eyes. now, it wasn’t like she only had one or two. she had a few when it came to those related to the captain but actually seeing yeongi out in the light and not looking like batman was… a rare thing. especially after their uncle’s death. he was a firm believer that their uncle was a fucking saint. haeun couldn’t help but think he was an idiot. an angry idiot. sure, she knew he didn’t deserve death but he wasn’t perfect. none of them were. it wasn’t like she was going to share any findings from her end when it came to digging into things herself. most of the pirate cousins were out of their damn minds over it all. still, “holy shit, you come out during the day.” she called out to yeongi, not really moving closer to him but watching him anyway. “i thought you had gone nocturnal…”

They didn’t let her examine the body. ‘Because it was a family member,’ they said. Again, a whole load of bullshit.

Those thoughts had been consuming her for days. While she worked. While she was at home. When she worked out. Nothing seemed to snap her out of the genuine distaste she had over all of it. It made her suspicious. Her instincts told her something was off but every time she tried to investigate it, there was nothing but roadblocks.

Hence the run she was keeping no track of. Sweat cascading in all the places it normally did in the body as she finally stopped for a breath. Close to the beach, allowing the cool breeze to help her heated skin. Taking a drink of the water she had in her hand, she found herself idly looking for a seat on what was like a boardwalk. Finally, like her body relax for a minute.

Haeun leaned her head back, finally enjoying the sun for a little while before she could feel a shadow fall over her. She didn’t open and eye but decided to speak, “here for me or the view?”
