'Do I need to make him fall in love with me or something?' It sounds stupid but well stated in the story tale.
The sea witch Eunhna laughs wickedly as she brushes the strands of her long hair to the back.

'What's my gain from that?' She asks the other way round ironically. What she does next sent shivers to my spline-
She unbinds the curtains behind her slowly with her octopus legs, revealing layers of shelves with glass bottles placed on them. Inside those containers are preserved organs and body parts submerged in riled fluids...
All these belonged to the mermaids who came to her?
'Beautiful, isn't it?' Referring to her collections, her eyes twinkling in enthusiasm.
Gross.
I hitch my breath in fear. This place is freakish, I want to leave asap.
She smirks at my reaction and I can see her eyes on my throat.
'Anything but my voice.' I response firmly. Singing is what gets Beomgyu's attention.
She clicks her tongue in discontent and looks at my eyes.
'Not my eyes, I need them to look for a person.'
'Do you still want the deal? I need something precious.' She crosses her arms and stomps her legs, getting impatient.
Now she is looking at my chest. I know her implication and my heart is determined.
A mermaid or merman lives for 300 years- what does that have to do with me when I have no meaning of life in the sea?
I agree with her terms.
'When you are in the form of a human, you possess none of your magic. Remember I can never turn you into a real human. You still belong to the sea, so when your legs are underwater, you'll turn into a merman again. That's it.' She passes me a tiny bottle of potion, I drink it all at once without hesitation.

Losing myself to unknown amount of time, finally I have my cognition back, I squint my eyes to the new environment.
With walls on four sides, the spacious room is ornamented yet neat and simple with some leather furnitures and greens, just like those in human's house that I have seen in the illustration books.
