"Ladies, how could we address you?" Hongjoong's question made me realize that I don't know this character name.

Ugh, stupid me. I should've asked Lily for this character name. I completely forgot!

Should I tell my real name?

Wait I can't!

What if 'Y/N' uses my real name, then that would be weird if we have the same name.

I guess I have to make up a new one.

What should I name myself? I have to stick with this name for the entire time that I'm here.

"Miss, what's so hard to tell us your name?" Seonghwa's cold voice interrupts me. He clearly looks annoyed and suspicious that I took a long time to say my name.

"Um...my name is..." Brain, think of something!

The members' stares pressure me.

"...Star." I say. "My name is Star."

I can't think of anything so I came up with Star because my favorite Ateez song is Star1117.

"Hmm, I thought the seer would have some cooler names." Mingi says, looking disappointed at my name.

Did he just belittle my new name? I think Star is quite lovely though, like a twinkle little star.

"How's Star not cool? Aren't you guys sailing by navigating from Stars?"
My answer earned several snickers from the members. But Mingi doesn't yield back.

"That's true but Star is-"
"Mingi, cut the crap." Hongjoong scolds him and Mingi pouts at him for a second time.

"And you, Miss." He turns to look at the stressed 'Y/N' who hung her head back down.

Now I'm really curious what her name is.

Will it be my real name? or name after Ateez song like me, something like ...Aurora?

"It's Aurora."

My head abruptly snaps toward her. Did she just say Aurora?

Does she have a mind reading ability? This gives me goosebumps.

"Aurora, that's a pretty name." Yunho, who's sitting closest to her, compliments her name which makes me feel hurt a little that no one compliments my name.

Well, I'm just a minor character, know your place.

"Miss Star and Miss Aurora, it's an honor to have two beautiful girls on our ship," Hongjoong grin casually, then he sit up straight as he's about to get into business. "You must've guessed why you were summoned here. If you tell us everything you know, no blood needs to be shed."

OMG did he just threaten me? And with that alluring smile. He should be banned from young adult books.

"Miss Star, according to your seer power, you mentioned you know the location of the map. Kindly enlighten us." Seonghwa says after Hongjoong, sounding polite but he obviously mocks me from the way he emphasizes seer power.

It'll take a while for him to believe me. Since his character has trust issues and being skeptical, I couldn't blame him, could I?

Everyone in the room anticipates my answer.

"It's in Port Royal." I speak in a calm demeanor, indulging in a seer character.

In the original story, the trading of the Wonderland map is set in Port Royal, the wickedest city that is overrun by pirates. But this info is actually revealed by the female lead. However, since our Aurora here isn't open one bit, I have to reveal it myself.

"You sure? Didn't you need to meditate like before?" The quartermaster taunts me as he remembered when I (fake) meditated on our first meet. My acting skill must be terrible.

"Nope. I already have this premonition long before boarding this ship." His taunt made me lose my composure. Even so I think my acting skill might be terrible but my lying skill is getting better.

Some of the members are looking at me in awe and the others squint their eyes in disbelief and the quartermaster is in the latter group.

"And what if it's not in the port Royal?"

"It will be in Port Royal."

"You seem overly confident."

"Because it'll be there."

Seonghwa and I have a glaring battle.

Technically speaking, I like the real Seonghwa so much but this pirate version gets on my nerve. And I'm not the type to let people go easily after they challenge me.

"You know the consequence if the map isn't there." Hongjoong speaks up, making us break eye contact.

"I know." My face falters at the thought of punishment. And I'm actually scared.

Please! The map needs to be in the Port Royal or else my life would be doom again.

---

For the whole conversation, Aurora fidget with her fingers. She seems paler and paler every second pass.

Wooyoung quietly observes her and sees the strange flash in her eyes when the seer mentions Port Royal.

He snickers, thinking she must be hiding something.

"We have the seer here but what's she doing here?" Wooyoung mentions Aurora, cutting the on-going conversation.

The whole room stops paying attention to me and turns to Aurora.

She bites her pink lower lip hard and sweat breaks on her forehead.

"Wooyoung not now." Hongjoong growls but Wooyoung rolls his eyes at him.

Hongjoong furrow brows at his crew behavior, he's trying his best to remain cool but his first mate is trying to challenge his patience.

"I haven't asked you why our guests didn't change their clothes? And did you even take them to eat?" Hongjoong's voice shows authority but Wooyoung doesn't falter.

"Ask your little guest." He sneers at Aurora.

The color on Aurora's face returns to red as she recalls their previous argument.
She's about to snap at him but I quickly hold her wrist to stop her.

Please don't upset them, not right now. I pleaded with her through my eyes.

Intensity fills the air.

Now the pair that have a glaring battle is Wooyoung and Aurora.

And Hongjoong doesn't seem pleased that Wooyoung disrespect him. He glares at Wooyoung and then Aurora.

Is he thinking the same as Wooyoung?

Then that's bad. If he decides to throw her away, this story will have no female protagonist. 
You guys can't throw your love interest away like that!!! 
I need to do something to save our Aurora.

"Well," I lift my wounded hand getting everyone's attention. "It's because I needed to treat the wound so we didn't have time to do other things." My excuse is lame and I know they didn't buy it. 

Wooyoung and Yeosang scoff out loud as they both know the truth. 

I think I've added more roles to my character. First, a seer and now I'm a mediator between the female lead and Ateez.

"And she has every reason to be here. She's the key part of this journey. Don't ask me how? The future will reveal itself." I continue reasoning with them. Her role indeed plays a big part of this journey.

No matter how much I want to steal 'Y/N' career, I'm just a bystander and have to go back home eventually while being here I'm going to make sure this story has a happy ending.

"She, the key part of this?" Wooyoung mocks me.

"It's okay if you don't believe me at this moment. What's more important right now is the map. I'll tell you everything I know." I put up my calm demeanor again.

The whole room turns quiet, waiting for me to continue.

Take a deep breath in, I begin describing the scene when the trade takes place.
