Sunoo had always felt a deep connection to the sea. On one of their rare days off, the Enhypen members decided to join him for a fun trip to a nearby beach. Sunoo, however, had more than just a love for the ocean—he had a gift. The moment his feet touched the warm sand, the sea seemed to respond to him, the waves gently curling in a familiar greeting.
As he waded into the shallow waters, something extraordinary happened. A shark fin sliced through the water, but it wasn't menacing. Instead, it bobbed closer, and a voice echoed in Sunoo's mind.
"Are you here to listen, little human?" the shark's voice rumbled, surprisingly gentle.
Sunoo smiled, unfazed. "Always. Tell me, what secrets does the ocean have today?"
The shark circled around him, followed by a school of fish, jellyfish drifting by, and even a playful dolphin leaping from the waves. They all spoke to Sunoo in a mix of voices, each animal sharing its own piece of wisdom or a playful comment.
"Sunoo, don't let them think you're weird," a dolphin giggled. "The others can't hear us."
"Yeah," a curious stingray chimed in. "But we can tell you're different. You belong with us."
Sunoo laughed, feeling the warmth of their words. The others on the beach noticed the growing ripple in the water, but they couldn't hear the ocean's whispers. Jake was the first to speak up, spotting Sunoo’s peaceful expression.
“Sunoo, what’s going on? Are you okay?” he called out, his voice laced with concern.
Sunoo turned back, his eyes sparkling with the ocean’s mystery. “Just having a conversation with some friends,” he replied casually, though the others were puzzled.
Heeseung squinted at the water. “I thought I saw something moving out there, but…” His voice trailed off, uncertain. He glanced at the others, who looked just as confused. Sunghoon raised an eyebrow.
“Friends? What kind of friends?” Sunghoon asked, his gaze shifting to the ocean, scanning it for any signs of danger.
“Oh, just a few sharks, dolphins, and some other marine creatures,” Sunoo answered nonchalantly, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. “They like to chat when I’m around.”
Jay’s eyes widened. “Wait, what? You can talk to them?” His tone was a mix of awe and disbelief.
Sunghoon chuckled, unable to hide his amusement. “So, we have a sea creature whisperer in the group now?”
Niki, always eager to join in the fun, grinned. "Can we talk to them too, Sunoo? I want to hear what a shark has to say!"
Sunoo shook his head, still amused. “Not everyone can hear them. It’s something between me and the sea.” He returned his attention to the shark, which was circling playfully around him.
"He's telling me how fast he can swim," Sunoo explained, gesturing to the shark. "He's proud of his speed."
"He really does talk, huh?" Jungwon said, clearly impressed, though still trying to wrap his head around the idea.
The animals continued to surround Sunoo, the ocean’s creatures offering advice, jokes, and even stories of the deep, and Sunoo, always kind, listened attentively to each one. The others just watched, trying not to laugh at how surreal the whole thing was.
As the sun began to set, casting golden hues across the water, the animals slowly retreated back into the depths. The Enhypen members stood together, looking out at the ocean, a sense of awe filling the air.
“Well, that was… a lot,” Sunghoon said, still grinning. “You’re not just our sunshine, Sunoo. You’re literally a sea creature whisperer too.”
