SUMMARY: Chaerin's life was pretty mundane, but she was okay with that. She had a tendency to eat too many snacks and procrastinate, but college was going well and so was her part-time job. And her childhood friend Kidd sometimes visited her and tell her crazy stories about his "piracy." Not that he was a pirate, of course.
XOXOXOXO
"You're telling me that you didn't believe a single word of it?"
"Uh. No."
"I challenged a rear-admiral and won, destroyed his ship, and stole all of his cannons."
"Yeah, I didn't believe that one…"
"Not even about the time I told you how I pillaged an entire village and had their mayor hanging from the end of the flagpole by his underwear?"
"No."
"What about the time when I went to the South Blue? About how I hitched a ride in a marine ship when no one was looking?"
"On that night when we were celebrating your birthday? Uh, well, I wasn't really paying attention, so…"
"You weren't paying attention," he repeated with a deadpan.
She scratched her head awkwardly. "No."
While Kidd sighed and rubbed his forehead, Chaerin sipped her tea and wondered just how she could continue on with her life. It was a strange day for Kim Chaerin to discover that her friend Eustass Kidd had been telling the truth all this time. He really was a pirate.
