Hongjoong and Yunho found themselves being pulled through the water by the siren, their bodies too exhausted to fight against the man's hold.

They were dragged further and further down into the depths, the water surrounding them growing darker and colder with each passing second.

The siren moved with a graceful ease, his long black hair floating around him like a veil as he continued to pull the two struggling men through the water.

Hongjoong and Yunho tried to protest, but their voices were muffled by the water around them, their lungs burning as they desperately tried to keep from inhaling the salty liquid.

Despite their attempts to struggle, the siren's hold on them was firm, his grip on their limbs unwavering as he continued to drag them deeper and deeper into the cold depths.

Hongjoong was starting to feel dizzy, the lack of oxygen and the cold water slowly starting to take its toll on his body.

He glanced over at Yunho, seeing the man struggling just as much as him.

The sailor's eyes were wide with fear, his body thrashing weakly against the siren's hold.

Hongjoong wanted to say something to reassure him, but the water prevented any words from coming out of his mouth.

After what felt like an eternity, the siren finally stopped, the three of them coming to a halt in front of a large opening in the side of a rocky cliff.

Hongjoong recognized it as being a cave, the dark depths of it appearing almost endless and ominous in the dim light.

The siren began to drag the two men through the opening, their bodies scraping against the rough edges of the cave as they were hauled further and further in.

It was dark inside, the only source of light coming from the dim glow of luminescent algae that grew on the walls of the cave.

Hongjoong and Yunho were dropped unceremoniously on the cold stone ground, their bodies hitting the floor with a thud as they let out strangled gasps.

They desperately tried to catch their breath, their chests heaving as they breathed in the musty air of the cave.

The siren hovered over them, watching as they slowly got their bearings.

His eyes flicked over their bodies, taking in their exhausted and disheveled state.

A small smirk curled at the corner of his lips as he observed them, his gaze almost analytical as he calculated his next move.

Hongjoong managed to lift his head, his eyes narrowing as he glared up at the siren. "Who the hell are you?" he managed to gasp out, his voice hoarse and weak.

The siren chuckled, the sound sending a shiver down Hongjoong's spine. "I go by many names," the siren replied, his tone nonchalant as he continued to hover above him. "But you can call me Mingi."

Hongjoong's eyes widened in surprise. He hadn't expected the man to willingly give up his name like that.

...
A moment of silence passed as the two men lay on the cold stone floor, their breathing still laboured and heavy.

The only sound in the cave was the gentle lapping of water against the walls and the occasional drip of water falling from the ceiling.

Despite the circumstances, Yunho found himself captivated by the siren's appearance.

The man's face was almost perfect, his skin smooth and unblemished, and his eyes a deep, mesmerizing black.

He had high cheekbones and a strong jawline, making him look both beautiful and dangerous at the same time.

Mingi seemed to notice Yunho's staring as well, his smirk growing wider at the man's awestruck expression.

He shifted closer, his tail swaying lightly as he leaned down towards Yunho.

Yunho's breathing hitched as the siren got closer, his eyes widening even more as he drank in the man's beauty.

The siren's gaze flicked down to Yunho's throat, his eyes locking on the man's Adam's apple as it bobbed up and down anxiously.

Mingi hummed softly, his voice melodic and hypnotizing as he watched Yunho's Adam's apple move up and down with his swallowing.

He slowly reached out, his fingers just barely grazing the man's throat.

Yunho's breath hitched again, his adam's apple bobbing up and down even more as the siren's fingers grazed over his skin.

Hongjoong watched in disbelief as his first mate fell further under the man's spell, his eyes wide and unfocused as he continued to stare up at Mingi.

Mingi seemed amused by Yunho's reaction, his smirk turning into a small smile as he continued to run his fingers over the man's throat.

He leaned even closer, his black hair falling over his face as he watched Yunho with a mixture of intrigue and fascination.

Hongjoong opened his mouth to protest, to try and snap Yunho out of the trance he was in, but the words died in his throat as Mingi's eyes flicked over to him. The siren's gaze was intense, almost dangerous as he watched Hongjoong with a subtle warning in his eyes.

The message was clear: Don't interfere. Hongjoong's mouth snapped shut, his eyes narrowing in anger and helplessness as he watched Mingi continue to toy with Yunho's captivated state.

The siren's fingers traced over Yunho's jawline, his touch gentle yet possessive as he explored the man's face.

Yunho's head lolled back subconsciously, his eyes closing as he leaned into the touch. Hongjoong clenched his jaw, his fists clenching as he watched the scene unfolding in front of him.

Mingi was clearly taking pleasure in Yunho's captivated state, his touch growing more possessive as he continued to explore the man's face and neck.

Mingi's fingers wandered down to Yunho's collarbone, his nails lightly scratching over the skin as he took in the man's vulnerable position.

Yunho let out a small noise, his eyes fluttering open as the siren continued to explore his body.

The cave was filled with the sound of Yunho's soft pants and the gentle lapping of water against the walls.

The atmosphere was tense and charged, the air thick with a mixture of fear, captivation, and desire.

Hongjoong watched helplessly as Mingi continued to touch and stroke Yunho's body, the man's reactions growing more and more submissive with each pass of the siren's fingers.

Hongjoong could see the growing desire in Yunho's eyes, the man's expression growing hazy and unfocused as he continued to fall deeper under the siren's spell.

Hongjoong was starting to get frustrated, his anger growing as he watched Mingi manipulate his first mate's state.

He tried to get up, to somehow break the spell that had Yunho entranced, but the siren's sharp gaze stopped him in his tracks.

"Don't even think about it," Mingi said, his voice calm and authoritative. "You'll only make things worse if you try to interfere."

He continued to stroke Yunho's collarbone, his touch almost soothing as he continued to keep the man in his trance-like state.
