Taemin could no longer waste his time so he went inside the room, the sword outside the bandana facing the two people in the room. "Your Majesty, I suggest you keep quiet," the pirate recommended. "What?" The royalty looked at him with a frightened look. "You are Park Yi-en?" Taemin asked the boy sitting on the canopy bed, and the boy nodded.

"Good," the pirate said. "Who are you?" The boy on the bed asked. "I'm here to bring you back to Korea," Taemin spoke in an indifferent voice, as much as he could. "I heard your call," the pirate kept talking, letting his sword down. "Sorry, I tried to be dramatic, do you really care about each other?" Tae asked. The two nodded.

"I'm sorry I'll have to separate you, but in the future, you'll meet again," Taemin said directly, he knew he was continuing to waste his time. "How did you get in?" The royalty asked, for some reason his Korean was better than he thought it would be. "We have connections."

"We?" The prince looked at him. "I'm not here alone, in the castle, yes, outside I have people, I'm here to bring back Park Yien and if you really care about him, Your Majesty, let him come with me," the pirate quickly explained. "How do I know you're not impersonating and my dad sent you?" The prince asked. Tae raised his handkerchief and slashed the bracelet in his face, no one had any jewelry on them. "This bracelet was made on Jeju island by a family escaping from it, the partner of this bracelet is in the Silla, with the prince," Taemin said quickly, "We need to hurry now," he added.

"Do you know Minho?" Yien asked. "It's a long story, we need to move." "We can’t just disappear," the boy said. "I can help you," the prince suggested. "How?" Taemin asked. "If you're here you probably know about the passages behind the pictures." Taemin nodded. "At hours like now there is no one in there," the prince went on to explain, "no matter the picture, if you go down the tunnel you will reach an exit but you have to be careful there."

They nodded, Taemin stood at the door and Yien next to him. "Call me Mark," the boy said. "Why?" Taemin was confused because he had never heard that name. "Code name." Taemin just nodded, but as they stood at the door they looked at the prince, "Last words?" Taemin suggested. "Thank you Ka-yee," Mark said, kissing the prince on the cheek which made the prince's face flush, and a grin came out of the boy's mouth. "Tie him to the bed, and open the window." The two looked at him strangely. Again. "We must not waste time, go ahead and do it fast," Taemin said.

And so they did, while Taemin went to open the window Mark tied the prince to the bed, his legs and hands together and then the hands behind his back to the foot of the bed, with everything Ka-yee also said to tie his mouth, Mark had a hard time seeing the royalty in such a state of helplessness. But this was the prince's plan so he did as requested.

Taemin looked out of the room checking that there was no one in the hallway, the guards did not come back yet so they did not waste time and the two walked down the hall the picture behind was the tunnel, they moved the picture-like-door and entered the dark tunnel but before closing the door Taemin stole the torch that hung near to lighten their way. The tunnel was not that long but every noise scared the two of them. At one point steps were heard, the two stopped in their tracks. It was a narrow part of the tunnel, but in the end the steps were from the other side of the wall, in the hallway next to where there was a thin wooden door.

They passed it and heard a conversation in Chinese about the guards and their shifts. At the end of the tunnel was another wooden door that opened into a small crack to see if there was anyone on the other side of it. There were. Two soldiers talking. Taemin started getting a headache from the language. "Wait here I will go out first," the pirate told the boy and the other nodded,  staying in his place. 

Taemin walked out the door into the hallway, luckily the guards did not notice a person coming out of a secret passage. Until there was a sound of a door closing, the two guards aimed their swords in the direction of the noise. "It's just me," he said in slightly broken Chinese. Thanks to his guard uniform, the guards put their swords back in their sheaths. "What are you doing here?" One of them asked. "Looking," Taemin replied, his Chinese was not so good when he spoke, but at least he spoke correctly.

Before the guards returned to their affairs there was a sound of footsteps, the three guards were surprised, Taemin did not understand what the matter was but according to their gaze they were stressed, another guard appeared in front of them, his uniform was duller so Taemin guessed his status was higher. "You, " he pointed to the two guards, "go to the royal wing," the two nodded and left. "You," he turned to Taemin. "Stay here to guard." Taemin nodded and the guard left, leaving the corridor empty. 

The door he came out from wasn’t far from where he was standing so he opened the tunnel door-picture. "The coast is clear," he whispered to the boy in Korean. Mark came out of the tunnel. "Go to the door at the end of the hall," Taemin told him, pointing to a small room that was on the other side. "What about you?" "I'll make sure no one comes so you'll leave without any problem."

"No guards?" The boy asked, looking apprehensively into the hallway. "We moved them for a few hours so we could rescue you," Taemin explained. The boy nodded and walked towards the exit, when Taemin noticed that he had left he himself left the position and followed him out of the palace. But suddenly two guards appeared out of nowhere so engrossed in a conversation that they did not notice the two figures standing there, why are they always in pairs? Taemin did not think again and hit his sword in the back of the head of one of them, he fell and before the other even understood what had happened he was hit in the head as well, felling on top of the other.

"Did you have to kill them?" "They are not dead, just unconscious, now come on, we must get away from the palace," the pirate said, dragging the boy by his hand out to the city. In the middle of the city, after checking that there were no soldiers nearby, they met with Junmyeon, One of those on duty with Taemin and Baekhyun when they are in charge of the sailors on the ship. "Tae?" The pirate asked. At this point Mark was wearing Taemin's black cloak, and a hood on his head. Taemin put his hair to a high ponytail with the thread stayed with the thinner clothes of the guards not complaining about the cold that filled him every moment they stood in the cold weather outside the palace.

"Suho, where's everyone?" Tae asked. "Around," the pirate replied, "Call everyone, we have to get away." Suho nodded and took a leaf out of his robe pocket, he rolled it up and brought it closer to his mouth, making a sound that Taemin had never heard. The empty street began to fill with people, Bling-Bling's voice came over the noises, a voice that said, "Go back to the ship, we will sail to Taiwan at sunrise, where we will stay and then we'll return to Korea, do not worry Yien-ssi, you will return safely to Paekche."

Everyone split into groups to the ship, one could hear the voices of guards shouting and the torches on the wall were lit, causing the pirates to accelerate their pace towards the ship. An arrow was sent from a certain direction and then five more, there were groaning sounds but it did not stop them from running faster, even the wounded made an effort as they will see who is injured after they set off. Tae felt a strong pain in his hand, a spot above his elbow where there was an arrow hitting him, but he made no sound, he hurried to take off the golden layer above his uniform, left with the black layer of the same uniform below.

They saw the ship, fortunately the guards were not seen behind them, the plank with which they boarded went down and let them get on, they saw Chanyeol and Kyungsoo begin to lift the anchor, the ship began to move. Taemin was the one before the last to get on the board who started moving himself leaving the two pirates to work out a balance, they both clung to the board, Taemin was a step from being on board. "Come on Junhyung, you can do it," he said to the other. Taemin held out his hand to pull the other pirate who was wounded in the leg. Taemin was with his foot on the deck pulling the pirate with him, the board with which they got on board fell into the water and the ship set off.

When Junhyung went to take care of himself he left Taemin alone who was in deep thoughts. He did not notice the amount of blood he lost, all he did was hold where the arrow hit. When the first torch was lit he felt his head begin to ache and noticed that his vision was blurring. He heard the voice of one of his friends calling his name, due to the blurring of his senses he realized he was about to lose conciseness. He did not remember the fall.
