Gasps and screams were filling the air, people dragging themselves onto the beach while they were coughing for air, greedily sucking in the fresh breeze. Sea water filled their nostrils, lungs and ears, salty thickness coating their tongues. The storm roared over their heads, blackness of the sky threatening their lives and having destroyed their ship.

Causing it to crash, to sink and forcing them to seek shelter on this nearby island which seemed like a safe haven, a safe base in the middle of a storm. The endless white beaches and green palms looking like peaceful paradise to them.

All of them were exhausted, shocked to the core from surviving a crash and losing their belongings to the sea. Many were crying, resting their head in between their hands or burying them in their knees while crying for the ones they lost or for their own lives they were able to keep.

There were sudden rumors coming from the entrance to what seemed to be a jungle, a blond haired boy running towards them, already waving his arms over his head while reaching the beach and the stranded passengers with long steps. He was out of breath, long pale hair playing around his handsome face while he looked at them worried.

"I saw the storm and you approaching the island. Are you okay?! Is anyone of you hurt? Oh my god, it's been so long since I last saw humans!", he exclaimed with wide innocent eyes. They were sparkling from happiness of seeing other faces. His clothes were threadbare but he didn't look starved.

One man glanced up to him, hiding his eyes from the sun by moving his hand over his forehead. "Are you also a survivor?", he asked suspiciously while the male nodded, helping them up one by one and checking them up for any injuries. He radiated peace and safety which was so much needed by the traumatized passengers who lost everything in one night and barely could save their life.

"Yes, I was stranded here I believe a month ago and was unfortunately the only one to survive. Oh, I'm so happy to see you! I couldn't leave alone, I was too weak to build a float myself. But we can do it!", he exclaimed with a wide happy smile while a few already started to relax in his calming presence.

"You're experienced?", the man from before spoke up again and the other, younger and a bit shorter than the man nodded. "I am", he said with a polite bow of his head. "What's your name, child?", a woman, saved by her husband to her side, asked the male friendly who just helped a male his age up.

There was a smile forming on his face, a little smile that could've been seen twisted and sinister but the hidden expressions beneath quickly vanished when it was replaced with friendliness.

"Oh, my name is Taehyung."

°°°

The raven ended up losing himself to Jungkook that faithful night where his friends were slaughtered in front of his eyes. His heart broke into millions of pieces and his mind shattered while he has turned mad and attacked Jungkook, clawed at him in the desperate attempt to avenge his friends.

The pieces of his shattered loving heart then decided to cling on the only one offering him comfort. And that was Jungkook. The same to have put Taehyung into this misery, the murderer of his friends and murderer of possibly thousands of innocent humans who did nothing but being unlucky in stranding on the wrong island.

And the one to own Taehyung's heart.

It of course took a while to completely turn the shy raven towards Jungkook, lots of completed circles until Taehyung understood and stopped fighting. He realized that he himself was torturing himself more than Jungkook ever could, fighting against him on a daily basis and Taehyung was tired. Exhausted of fighting so he gave up.

And submitted to Jungkook. It was this special day where he has shyly replied to Jungkook's passionate kisses, where he was tugged onto his hair and repeated the same love confessions Jungkook has whispered towards him since so many days, weeks, months, years.

From this moment, Taehyung wasn't suffering anymore. The raven started to understand that the island indeed was a self chosen paradise, saw the beauty in the palms and the white sand, saw the idyllic horizon again. His horrific nightmare now turned into the home of his dreams.

By the side of the man he once despised and now couldn't think to be apart of.

The raven has been included into Jungkook's plans, the first time killing has been horrific to the sensitive male, ending up crying in Jungkook's arms who has shushed him so gently as always before he instructed him on a new victim, snapping their neck together. And Taehyung found weird pleasure in it, especially when he saw how incredibly proud Jungkook always was whenever he dived his hands into blood until the velvety liquid drenched his entire body.

He has lost himself in the belief of Jungkook. You could say he himself has gotten a victim of the island and Jungkook's charms, falling for him just like the stranded passengers falling for his lies and being lured in the trap. Only with the difference that Jungkook wasn't planning in letting Taehyung go. Ever.

Jungkook owned Taehyung completely and he couldn't be more satisfied, because at the end, he has once again won over humanity. And has won Taehyung's heart.

Taehyung would never leave Jungkook. The circle has started again and the island's will wasn't meant to be broken. So Taehyung was forever going to stay by Jungkook's side.

And when Taehyung realized, it was himself all along, he knew he was never going to see his home again. He has completely submitted to the dream, always on the brink of slipping, on the brink to his own insanity without even grasping what was going on.

On the shores.
