Chapter 3

*+*+*+*+*+*

Mina didn't mind hwang's disagreement, she was still determined and decided just to prove she can do anything better than him, usually she believes in herself, the rest of the crew didn't mind a woman on board especially pretty like mina.,

she began to help scrub the deck, but some other gentlemen was kind enough to give her a hand. Maybe just to watch her work The only thing that makes her uneasy is that wherever she goes hwang checks on her, just like a brother watching a little sister, to keep her out from some perverts they hardly know.

Hwang appears behind her while she was busy scrubbing the deck floor, kneeled down almost exposing her slender legs. He folded his arms and gave them a warning glare to stop from "Sight seeing". His fellow crewmates then return to their own tasks.

"MINA~!… " Hwang pokes on her thigh

"WATCH IT! PERVERT!!…. Can you please leave me alone! "said an angry Mina

"HEY!…. CAN YOU BE MORE AWARE!… YOUR SPECTATORS ENJOYED WATCHING YOU SHOWING YOUR BEHIND LIKE THAT!"

"I'M NOT SHOWING ANYTHING! WHAT DO YOU CARE!" mina stood up from her knees and threw a rug at him then, he clutched her arm. Hwang gave her a smirk "Just finish your work…. You got so many things to do tomorrow.. And be ~ self conscious!

She didn't mind hwang but it really made her very upset, she finished almost mid night. It was very exhausting, there weren't any supper because it was the first night they navigated, but she was very hungry. Mina was very sleepy, yawning as she head back to her cabin, a bunch of drinking crewmates were still having a good time at the deck, they didn't bothered the tired girl they know she has a brother watching over her. Mina flung the door open, it was her relief seeing a bed infront of her, it was hwang's but he wasn't sleeping on his, instead he was on the top deck so mina could crawl easily to slumber.

"Thank goodness…" She mumbled throwing herself onto a large pillow while kicking off her sandals.

"MINA?…" hwang was still awake and began confronting her "YOU MUST GO HOME, I'LL TAKE YOU BACK, YOU CAN'T….."

"I CAN…HWANG… I'M NOT A CHILD" she insisted

"I KNOW.. BUT YOU'RE A WOMAN, IT'S NOT YOUR PLACE HERE'

`GIMME A BREAK…. I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING!!' she could hear hwang sighed deeply sounding as if he was having a hard time dealing with her stubbornness

"Of course a tomboy built like a brick like you can take care of herself! What's wrong with you… You just can't leave your father that way!" Hwang's voice get's irritated because of mina causing him troubles.

"I'm sick of this, so do whatever you want, I don't care!!" shouted Mina as she kicked the top plinth above her

"You're just my responsibility, you're even childish….get some sleep!" Hwang answered and didn't bothered to argue with her

Mina kicked hwang's top deck but he must be sleeping already *"Hwang you conceited….!obnoxious…. I don't know why father even asked me to marry you! I hate you!!!* Repeated in her thoughts as she clenched her fists.

*Does he really think I'm that childish!?* Mina squeezed her pillow tightly

* I know that it's not usual for girls to be fighthing, and that I'm a bit violent, but does that make me a tomboy? Am I really that childish ? I'm just trying to prove something * and a tears formed in her eyes * he'll see! I'm going to show him I can be better, I'm going to take his socks off, haha, he'll see!!!!! *

Mina's thoughts drifted as she felt her eyes heavy and into sleep

*+*+*+*+*

Next morning before sunrise

Hwang managed to woke up early, but it seemed mina woke up earlier than him, He wasn't surprised , he knew she is really persistent, thinking , she must be preparing in the kitchen.

The captain called for hwang , he reminded him that when Commander Lee shun jin arrives, it would be a bad impression to him when he knows about mina, it was clear to hwang that mina should leave the ship before , things go to worse than he thought. And the captain gave him the responsibility if any unnesecarry action that could cause trouble around mina, it would be his responsibility, it was necessary because the costal defense force is no place for a woman , even as a servant.

It was a bad start for hwang, after then he went to the ship's mess hall, it was a large ship after all , with the hundreds of recruits including him were having their breakfast already, hwang just took his own plate, he could see mina so pre occupied, he didn't bothered to ask how she was doing, because he has his limitations on board.

"Are you sure he's you're sister?" the kitchen tenant asked him while handling him his rations.

"Why ask?"

"hmph….chief.. a pretty girl like her, you two don't look alike, besides…I heard you're guarding her all the time."

"Mind your tongue! Tenant!"

"I've been watching you as you entered, I can tell your eyes are fixed on that one!" the kitchen tenant remarked, Hwang doesn't seemed pleased about it and quickly took off away with his rations.

He sat on an empty table, hwang's eyes followed mina from every where she goes, from table to table serving potatoes to every crew, her face was full of soot due to the coal from cooking in the kitchen , even her hair was a mess and perspired all over her face, mina wiped it off and refixed her hair into a bun with a scarf.

"Poor girl" Hwang sighed he felt he was loosing his appetite seeing mina making it hard for her. Then mina went over to hwang

" I don't want it" he pulled away his plate just when mina was serving him

"Com'n…brother…I'm fine" Mina gave him a sweet cheerful smile. That she usually do, hwang liked that spirit in mina inspite how hard, she was full of energy, actually he smiled back and squeezed her hand. Mina was surprised Hwang would be sometimes to harsh on her then, sweet?

"Now…..You like me???… a few minutes you'll get annoyed with me?' she exclaimed

"You're persistent…. Don't expect anything girl." He remarked blantly, mina felt insulted and left hwang

"Hey… why don't you.. give me an extra one!" a greedily bald man pulled her from her arm

"HEY! Let me go! And I only serve once each meal is equally distributed!" Mina began to raise her voice

"HEY GIRL!.. YOU"RE NEW HERE! DO AS I TELL YOU!"

"NO!"

He then began to pull her arm and disgustingly sniffed it , Mina was really harrased, As well as hwang angrily stood up from his seat and went to them, Mina pulled her arm and clutched, grabbed him at his neck that made him out of balance from his seat, and his fellow crewmates laughed at him

"No one can lay hands on me!"

" You're a tough one!" The large bald was about to gave her a blow , just when hwang grabbed his fist and with his bare hands trying to crush them

"YOU HEARD THE LADY!" Hwang said trying to control his temper what he did to mina

"What is this?!" Captain yao witness the unlikely confrontation. Hwang lowered his hands. It was really a bad timing for hwang, a few hours ago he was just reminded by the captain now this

"Captain I saw.. everything" The kitchen tenant hurriedly went to the captain, mina sighed, at least she knew there's still someone concerned

"Hwang… come with me in the office bring your sister" The captain didn't sound please about it.

Mina felt embarrassed and tried to look at hwang's eyes, but he remained calm and didn't even looked at her.

"Hwang…I'm.." but hwang didn't answered back .

A sudden cold fear hollowed in her this is really not going to be good.

*+*+*+*+*

Ok , it's a bit ooc on hwang's part, but really he was always there for her… maybe soon, he will realize it.., actually I have to pause it from here , because it's a bit late , I'm supposed to continue the details, but since I'm getting dizzy, well I'll just attached it in the ff chapter.

I don't know if I write it well?, that's why I took me too long, because, when I don't get reviews I don't think it's good, especially when I receive too much flames like before….. Let me know I really need a boost here…R/R

But really… I Love this fan fic I'm previously writing.. By the way it would be a bit citrusy next… chapter, well just an sneak peak info about it. Firestarr
