Hongjoong removed his cap when he arrived at his room. It was small and a little cramped, but he's grateful that he has his own privacy. He began unpacking his luggage, wondering if it was the right decision coming here.

He sat down on the bed when he finished unpacking, his eyebrows furrowed when he felt something hard underneath his palm. He looked down to see a tear in the mattress. He stuck his fingers inside, fishing out a small carving of a mermaid. he stared in curiosity, wondering why someone would put it in the mattress.

Unbeknownst to Hongjoong, finding that small mermaid figure released some sort of curse upon him and the giant rock the lighthouse sat on.
