It was late that night, probably around 11:00pm. Most of the crew were asleep besides Jisung and Chan, the older of the two stearing the ship and the younger just out on deck because he couldn't sleep.

Jisung sighs as he goes back to what he always does, looking down at the water.

Night made him even more curious, they discover even less in the darkness. It just intrigued him more, made him want to lean further, stretch his arm out to try and touch the water-

"Yah Han Jisung!" Jisung jumps back when he hears Chan's voice, whipping his head towards him

"Don't you go doing that, you might fall off" The older scolds him

Jisung, still being startled, nods quickly and looks back at the water, deciding to stay further back.

His heart finally calms down and he goes back to just looking, not trying to reach out at the water or anything just look.

He loved the water at night, how it sparkles under the light of the moon, how calm it can be. It was soothing to hear the water to help you sleep, at least for him, some sailors hate the sound of water hitting the boat while they sleep but Jisung thought it was relaxing.

He sighs and gets a bit closer to the edge, looking back at Chan who was watching his warily, he gives a nod and a small smile to resure him he wouldn't try that again.

Standing there a little longer he shivers at the wind hitting him. Thats when he noticed.

The wind was picking up, his hair was moving infront of his face, he looked down at the water again and now it wasn't sparkling, the moon wasn't there.

"Jisung!" He hears Chan yell

He looks back at the older who is having trouble holding the wheel, the water starting to get more rough.

"Wake up the others! Storm ahead!"

Jisung runs off deck and down to the barracks.

He shakes everyone awake and at first gets annoyed groans but once they hear a storm is coming they all shoot up out of bed and put on their coats and boots, anything to protect them from the harsh weather afoot.

When Jisung gets back on deck its raining and the wind is blowing harshly, his father is already on deck yelling orders to the crew.

"Jisung!" He hears Felix call him

He runs over and grabs the rope trying to pull it back so they could tie up the sail but the wind kept pushing it foward.

They suddenly hit a big wave and Felix is swept off his feet, Jisung goes to help him up but is startled by the sound of a lightning strike, a very close lightning strike.

"FIRE!" Someone yells, Jisung can't make out who it is

The blonde looks up through wet hair thats fallen over his eyes, part of the ship was on fire and the wind was spreading it, despite the rain it wouldn't go out.

"Jisung! Pay attention!" Felix yells, Jisung finally snaps out of it and helps his friend up before going back to try and tighten the rope

They nearly have it but then Jisung looks to the side and catches glimps of something in the water, something purple and shiny and he losses focus again trying to figure out what is was, he had never seen that color on a fish before-

Suddenly he is swept of his feet by a wave and he falls off the ship, hitting his arm on the edge of the boat on the way down.

"Jisung!" Felix yells

"Man overboard!"

* * *

Jisung gasps for air as he gets out of the water but is swept back under by another wave, he tries to swim but lets out a small yelp at the excruciating pain in his arm, he couldn't move it.

He tries to swim back up to the surface again, doing so succesfully.

He hears the faint yells of his name in the distance but his eyes go wide for a moment at what he see's.

The ship is heading straight for a rock formation.

He tries to yells but is cut off by another wave sweeping him under, this time further down and he barely makes it back up. Only to see the ship hitting the rocks and a wave sweeping it under

"NO!-"

Then he's underwater again but this time is too far down, no matter how hard he tries he can't get back up. The surface gets further and further away and he is running out of air, his vision starting to cloud in black.

But then he see's something or more like someone swimming towards him but he can't continue moving anymore and is loosing consciousness.

The last thing he see's out are two beautiful deep purple eyes.

Then it all goes black.
