Summary;;
When your dreams become consumed by a mysterious stranger, you go through great lengths to track him down, even going as far as following him out to sea. Coming face to face with your mystery man, you find that not all is what it seems.
Warnings;;
a little horror-ish at the beginning, much in my usual style, but it’s cleared up and then it fluffens and then it smuttens up. LIGHT smut, implied... somewhat suggestive content. Mentions of suicide. Like, literally just mentioned. Not apart of the plot. Character death in a way but not really - this is a HAPPY ENDING FIC.

Notes;;
This is my Secret Santa gift for @myeoning-call for the @exolssecretsanta event!
HI JANGMI!! I hope you enjoy this fic! It wasn’t quite enemies to lovers and it wasn’t quite smut but it is all for you as your present to tide you over until I can get the original story completed some time next year. I’ve had so much fun getting to know you and I can’t wait to talk to you as myself rather than an anon. Much love!! Happy holidays <3
Under the soft waves and deep below the depths of the welcoming ocean, he called for you. His song, melodic and soothing, summoned you. Every ounce of your being gravitated toward him. There was darkness hidden behind his glowing smile and sparkling eyes as he beckoned you down but you ignored it, leaning over the edge of the boat in pursuit of his retreating figure.
Warm water lapped at your fingertips as you broke the surface, your reflection rippling across the quiet sea. There was a soft breeze on the wind which did nothing to alleviate your discomfort for the air itself was hot and unpleasant. The midday sun beat down on you without remorse and you were beginning to feel its effects.
After many hours spent searching for your mystery man, your body ached and your skin wasn't faring much better. It was past the point that sunscreen could recover and far beyond any form of preventative measure. The damage was done and your skin cracked with the slightest movement. What you needed was to bath in aloe vera and guzzle down a few gallons of water. How you had let it get this bad was just another component of his mystery.
Perhaps it was a trick, perhaps a trap.
