The salty air hung heavy as Kim Taehyung, the dashing pirate lord, strode across the deck. His crew had already secured the passengers, kneeling in fearful rows. Taehyung moved with predatory grace, inspecting his 'catch'—some marked for chains, others for freedom.

Kneeling before her, he gently lifted her chin with a calloused finger, his blue eyes widening at the sight of her face.
