𝓛𝓸𝓼𝓽 𝓐𝓽 𝓢𝓮𝓪 II ENHYPEN HEESEUNG FF

summary: Sixteen days. One cruise that was supposed to be unforgettable for all the right reasons.

Nineteen-year-old Ariana boards a luxury cruise out of Galveston with her blended family, an overprotective older brother, a little sister who never lets go of her hand, and parents determined to force togetherness. Confident, glamorous, and allergic to emotional vulnerability, Ariana plans to survive the trip on charm, distraction, and distance.

Then she meets Heeseung.

Sharp-tongued. Controlled. Impossible.
Their first encounter is a disaster, public, humiliating, and absolute proof that some people are meant to hate each other.

Until a ship, wide game of hide-and-seek blurs into something far more dangerous.

Until a restricted floor that shouldn't exist locks them out of time.

Until the ship leaves without them.

Stranded on a remote island shaped by the sea and its rituals, Ariana and Heeseung are forced into survival, intimacy, and truths they never intended to face. As the world believes them lost, the island teaches them how to stop running-from fear, from love, from themselves.

Somewhere between storms and firelight, dances and whispered confessions, Ariana learns that disappearing isn't the same as being forgotten-and that love, when chosen freely, can be both terrifying and home.

But when the ocean inevitably gives them back, the question isn't whether they'll be found.

It's whether they can leave the island without leaving each other behind.
