You had gained a name for yourself. Being one of the most feared pirates on the seas. You had your own ship, lots of riches, a crew. You were powerful.

But you also had some setbacks. One of which was a curse that was now following you. You've tried everything to break the curse. Finally you found the answers. You needed to return the charm to its original shrine.

To get to it you'd have to make it past Krakens, sirens and the sea itself. You knew you'd need a stronger crew and it couldn't just be some weaklings. You were left with one option and you were not happy about it.

You needed to get the pirate crew known as "Ateez" to help you. The problem, their captain Hongjoong and you hated each other. Usually ended up in a sword fight or a battle of wits.

You've known each other since being young teens, growing up in the same village. Not once could you get along. And it got worse as both of you competed to become the best Pirate captain.

Swallowing your pride, you chase down their location. Finding them partying at some Tavern they frequented before shipping off again. You walked in, wearing your hood up, not wanting to draw attention to yourself.

The crew was drunk, singing some sea shanty called "Wonderland". Making your way through the wild crowd you finally spot the cocky bastard. Walking up behind him. You toss a heavy bag of coins in front of him. "I want to hire you and your crew" you state not beating around the bush.

The sea shanties came to a halt as Hongjoong turned in his chair to face you with his typical grin, that you hated to love.
