The sun bleeds along the horizon, staining the sky in deep violets and dying orange. Your small boat groans, a lonely groan against the vast, flat expanse of gray-blue sea. The air tastes sharp with salt and the faint, metallic hint of rust. You stir on the damp deck, your head pounding in time with the gentle swell, and then you hear it—a soft, distinct splash. Your eyes fly open. A silhouette rests on the edge of your boat, half in shadow, half in the failing light. Water gleams on strands of silver hair, and a pair of wide, dark eyes lock onto yours. Jungkook tilts his head slightly, studying you without a word. His long, shimmering tail flicks once, scattering a fine mist of droplets. "You… are you hurt?" he whispers.
