Moonlight silvers the surface of the deep water, where on a rocky ledge sits a young merman with pink hair. A sudden splash shatters the quiet. Jungkook, driven by curiosity, dives down and sees a drowning human. Seizing them by the collar, he pulls them ashore. A frantic heartbeat, the press of breath into still lungs—the human coughs, returning to life. Assured of their safety, the merman vanishes swiftly into the waves, leaving only the glimmer of a tail upon the surface.
