(WOOSAN) Written in the stars

The ship was more spacious than San originally thought.

The mainboard was the place from where Wooyoung was piloting it. Not too spacious but not too tiny either, dimly lit and lazily furnished by some strong yet comfortable seats, a table and some chairs- which were screwed to the ground- and an impressive panel of buttons that San didn't know the use of. As a space-man, he knew the basics of flying a ship, but this was another level. Wooyoung hardly ever left this room.

On the right side of the ship were the living quarters. They consisted of three cabins and the space-equivalent of a bathroom (no, you don't want to know how that works trust me). The first cabin was Wooyoung's and it contrasted from the mainboard in that it was packed with random objects. Almost as if the captain was a toddler picking up everything shiny he found on the street, Wooyoung's collection included alien matter in bocals, weird weapons, strange gadgets...So much stuff that San would call useless.

The second cabin was Yuqi and Soyeon's. They were a couple, as San came to learn, but didn't sleep in the same bed because of a lack of room. Surely, it was not meant to sustain two people, but the girls somehow made it work. Everything was holding on tight, nicely folded, organized in drawers and shelves closed by plexiglass doors. And of course a supply of screws and iron pieces to fix Soyeon's legs.

He didn't know exactly how she lost them, but he knew that she was walking thanks to Yuqi. She was the only bearer in the crew, and her ability was to reverse gravity. So even when the ship was in earth-like gravity mode, Soyeon could still fly around as long as she didn't get too far from her girlfriend. As for her legs, Yeosang built her mechanic ones but it was only for the looks of it, she wasn't able to truly walk with them.

Onto said man. His cabin was the third one. Probably even neater than the girl's, except for one spot that was full of mechanical devices, wires, and iron pieces. Yeosang was a genius mechanic, and all the time he wasn't spending repairing the ship he spent it inventing new stuff. And San would probably have been quicker to learn that if the young man actually ever talked to him.

And finally, the left-wing held the nursery and a spare room for weapons - respectively Yuqi and Soyeon's domain. San was almost sure he was prohibited from stepping foot into either of these rooms.

So he just remained sitting upright on one of the main board's seats, until Wooyoung walked to him.

- The seat's not gonna eat you if you relax, Officer. Make yourself at home.

San didn't dare to move but still smiled in response.

- I'm...just a bit stressed. Today was definitely a lot.

- Yeah, yeah it was. Replied a chuckling Wooyoung.

- Hey, what were those weird lighting bolts that went around back on Antigone?

- Ah, you saw that? The Pirate's got a Bearer and a very powerful one. I don't know who they are, though. We were never able to get close to them, especially since none of us have defensive abilities. Are you a Bearer?

- No, I'm not. I would have been ranked higher in my police department if I was. Well, I guess it doesn't matter anymore. Plus, I helped you escape so I'd probably be fired even if the police station was still intact.

This made Wooyoung laugh, as he sat down in the opposite seat.

- Officer Choi, fired for saving five people's life including his. What's your name by the way?

- San. He blurted out. Was it weird socializing with a criminal? But when said criminal saves your life, it makes it acceptable no?

- Nice, mountain-dude. Well, you know us. I'm the ship's pilot, Yeosang's the mechanic, Yuqi's the nurse and Soyeon's the shooter. Please don't go around revealing that to the police.

- I won't. As long as you don't break the law again.

- We will.

San couldn't decide between smiling and sighing and ended up basically glitching.

- What are you looking for?

- What?

- You said that you didn't find what you were looking for on Antigone. What were you looking for?

Wooyoung shifted uncomfortably in his seat. That was a turn of events.

- It's...complicated. I'm sorry San but I can't tell you about that.

The latter nodded his head. Wooyoung had already told him an awful lot for someone who he just met.

- Is it my turn to ask you a question? Asked the blonde.

- Go ahead.

- Why is your father living on Earth?

San chuckled. - Does it matter?

Wooyoung bit his lip. He was not a fan of social boundaries. Another advantage of living off-grid.

They sat in comfortable silence until a bip-ing sound coming from the ship's console got Wooyoung out of his trance.

- Oh, I gotta take care of that. The seats are reclinable, you can sleep on one of them.

- Wait why would you have reclinable seats in a spaceship??

Wooyoung's smile grew wider as if he was waiting for this question.

- I don't know. Does it matter?
