It's been two weeks since Taeyeon was sailing with the elite woman's ship, and yet, she was still in doubt of the woman's kindness towards her. Like she previously stated 'It's too good to be true...' Because Taeyeon never experienced something good from the elite for a long period of time already.

'She might be good to me because I told her I know something about the Atlantic's Golden Island.' Taeyeon thought to herself

She was doing her job the whole day thoroughly in the ships as she healed the workers of the ship that got sick. She knocked on the elite woman's quarters for Mr. Twain told her to come over because the woman had cold for days and her cough got worse.

"Come in!" She heard Mr. Twain's voice

The doctor came in and looked at the woman who smiled weakly towards her as she tried to speak "Hey there doctor...." And the led her for another series of cough.

"Good thing you're here Doctor Kim. I'll get Miss Hwang's porridge." Mr. Twain said and exited the room

Taeyeon observed the woman "You've didn't stop smoking." she said as she saw an ash tray beside the bed stand.

"I couldn't withdraw, it's hard for me." Stephanie said and Taeyeon sat beside her and said "Let me check your temperature." Taeyeon touched the elite woman's forehead and made her open to look for a sign of scurvy but she saw none of it “Looks like it's just a simple cold. It only got severe because you smoke a lot." Taeyeon sighed

Stephanie just stared at her and didn't utter a word. She knows the doctor was right but she just couldn't bring herself to stop her old addiction.

"Just try to stop smoking for a week or two and have a three day rest. You'll be good in the coming days." Taeyeon said and then the door of the quarter had opened "Porridge is here." Mr. Twain said

"Mr. Twain, did the workers eat already?" Stephanie asked

"Not yet."

Stephanie tried to get up but she was stopped by the two "Where are you going?" Taeyeon asked

"My workers need to be fed, I'm going to cook." Stephanie said

"Are you out of your mind?!" Taeyeon raised her voice in annoyance

"I'll just cook for them Miss Hwang, please rest." Mr. Twain said

“Would that be alright Mr.Twain?”

“No worries Madame.”

"Thank you Mr. Twain." Stephanie beamed him an apologetic smile and he made his exit

"For an elite, you act like a slave." Taeyeon commented dryly

"Royals, elites, slaves... We're all humans and equal." Stephanie said as she ate the porridge on the table but Taeyeon noticed her hands were trembling so she offered assistance "Let me do it." Taeyeon fed the woman with the porridge

"You're a good person Doctor Kim, why did you choose to work with the belligerents?" The woman asked

"Because the royalties took everything I have." Taeyeon said “They took all belligerents hearts away with their oppression." She continued

"If only human beings were not born selfish... What a good place the world would be!" Stephanie laughed a bit and she coughed again "You know, a belligerent killed my mom when I was 5..." the elite confessed

Taeyeon could only looked at the elite in sympathy "But you know something?... That didn't made me hate all the belligerents in the world. A crime of one isn't a crime of the whole race and nation, Taeyeon." she said and as the porridge got empty, she lay down again from her previous sitting position and Taeyeon tucked her in on the sheets and took the cigarettes on the table stand.

"HEY! What are you doing?" the woman asked

"No cigarettes for you for a week." Taeyeon said

"Doctor Kim, you're so cruel!" the woman complained

"Blame your weak body." the doctor shrugged and was about to leave the room until the woman spoke "Good night Doctor Kim." she said

"Good night." Taeyeon said as the woman's previous words lingered on her mind

'... A crime of one isn't a crime of the whole race and nation Taeyeon.'

Taeyeon slept over her thoughts and went back to her quarters..

'Why is she so good?' she wondered and drifted to sleep.

After a few days, Taeyeon was getting bored and annoyed towards her own self. She was too afraid. She's getting closer on the elite woman as every single day counts and she didn't like the feeling. She must hate the elites. Elites and royalties are bad people. That's what she chose to believe in. She was on the ship deck and she saw a familiar ship sailing closely to them. She immediately knew that they were pirates... the pirates she worked before. Her belligerent friends. She immediately rushed towards the ship control and good thing the person in charge was busy snoring. She pushed a button that light up signals for the other ship to see. The pirates' ship sailed towards their direction and Taeyeon wa
