Today was the day, Jeongguk entered his yacht. He couldn't wait to be one with the ocean. He raised his head and smelled the air. "So fresh and salty, just like I love it."

He looked back for a last time and started the engine.

He was singing and the wind blew through his hair. "That's where I belong."

Taehyung saw the yacht which he was supposed to watch out. "Fuck, they're fast."

He started to swim but kept a safe distance and stopped in shock when he saw the yacht collided with a rock.

"No no no!" He hurried over to them but when he arrived he only saw one person. A man, maybe his age.

The guy was struggling because the yacht was already sinking and he was searching for something.

Taehyung wanted to yell at him that he should jump already but it would expose him.

"Why is he such an idiot?" Taehyung said in a whisper and couldn't watch the scene any longer. That guy was important, that's what Jin told him.

"Aaah, jump already! What could be more important than your life?" He ruffled his hair and decided to swim closer, just in case.

Jeongguk was freaking out, he needed his swimming goggles but couldn't find it. He knew he couldn't open his eyes under water without but he also knew it would get more and more dangerous the longer he'd stay on the yacht.

Should he jump or keep searching?Taehyung was about to shout at him when the guy finally jumped. He sighed loudly and kept his eyes on him. He'd only expose himself if the other would be in real danger.

Right now it looked like he was able to swim to the cliff he collided with.

His head was barely visible when Jeongguk looked around. From the latters point of view it looked like a part from the yacht and not like hairs from a person.

Jeongguk was exhausted, he couldn't climb on the cliff, his hands grabbed a rock but when he tried to climb it broke off.

"I'm done." He closed his eyes took a deep breath and tried to swim to the next available cliff but couldn't find one. He yelled for help but of course there was no reply. Jeongguk gave up. He apologized to his father and Namjoon even though they couldn't hear him.

His eyes closed and he sank.

Taehyung immediately came to help him, he grabbed his hips and Jeongguk's eyes opened for a moment and stared at him.

He needed air to breath and Tae brought him to the surface. "Hey, are you okay?" He shook him but didn't get an answer.

Tae contacted Jin through his mind and it took almost a half hour till he reached them.

Tae didn't know if it was good or not that the stranger was still unconscious but right now he was glad.

"Jin, what shall we do?" Before he answered his younger brother, he looked around.

"Go on the cliff and dry your fin. I'll go back and tell dad, I can't mind link him because he's in a meeting." Jin saw the luggage from the boy swimming on the surface and fetched it.

"Looks like he's around your height. Wear his clothes." Jin gave him what he needed and left.

Taehyung looked at the guy in front of him. "You're really cute." He smiled.

"And you're beautiful." The guy opened his eyes and Taehyung gasped.

"You heard it? I-I mean, h-how do you feel?" He could slap himself for stuttering like a shy idiot.

He helped him sitting up by leaning his back on his chest. Tae had to spread his legs wide, so they wouldn't get too wet. The clothes itself were also wet but it needed more to change.

"Hi, I'm Jeongguk, what's your name?" He turned his head a bit so he could look up into his face.

"Taehyung, call me Tae." He bit his lower lip at the intensive gaze he received from Jeongguk.

"Tae-hyung, it suits you." He spoke each syllable slowly and in a low tone. Tae shivered at this but tried to ignore the feeling he got when the stranger said his name.

"Thanks, I guess?" He wasn't sure if it was a compliment but there was no reason for him to be mean.

'Tae, is he awake?' Jin contacted him.

'Yes.'

'Tell him that we left you there because our boat had only space for three and we'll come back with a bigger one.'

'Got it'.

As if Jeongguk could hear them he asked. "Why are you here? How did you find me?"

"We saw you and I jumped in the water. My dad told me to stay so they can get a bigger boat. They'll be back soon. You'll be safe." Taehyung smiled at him which calmed Guk down.

"Thanks" - "Huh?"

"For saving me. I would be dead if you wouldn't have been there." Jeongguk snuggled more into Tae's chest and hugged him tight.

"You're welcome Jeongguk. Don't fall asleep, okay? Your body is cold, I don't wanna lose you now." He rubbed his cold body to create warmth.

Tae looked down and saw that his eyes were closed. "Hey hey hey, don't sleep, stay with me Gukkie." He shook him and his eyes opened slowly.

"I'm so tired Tae, please let me rest." He begged in a whisper.

"No, sing for me, please." He wanted to hear his beautiful voice again.

He sighed and started to sing the same song from earlier. His voice was angelic and Taehyung knew the song. He joined with his deep voice and it harmonized perfectly.

"Wow and there I thought your speaking voice is sexy but when you sing, it's another level." Guk complemented.

Taehyung stopped and wasn't sure if he should feel honored or if Jeongguk was already fantasizing.

'Jin, where are you, I think he'll leave us soon, Hurry up!'

'Ten minutes, keep him awake, do what you have to do.'

"Gukkie?" Tae tried his best.

"Hm?" Jeongguk yawned. "They are here soon, are you still cold?" Tae already knew the answer but he wanted him to talk.

"Yes, but it's better now. You keep me warm." He hugged Tae even tighter and Tae started to rub his body again. Maybe it wasn't good if he kept the wet clothes on? Should he...
