Ocean Eyes

Chapter - 5

The next couple of weeks pass without incident. If Mew focus on practice, he could almost forget the guys are trying to win his hand in marriage.

Mew was in the library, working on the meeting schedules for the club. 'Honestly, the hardest part is figuring out the best time to meet. Everyone's classes are all over the place..'

Mew have rewritten this schedule at least three times now. "I think I've got it.." Just as Mew start finalizing everything, he got an email from the school board.

"What's this?" Mew scanned the message, and his blood runs cold. 'Shiaaa! I forgot our old adviser retired!! I have to go find a new one before our club gets in trouble!'

He grabbed his things and ran out of the library in panic. He was in such a rush, he bumped into someone and almost knocked them over. "I'm so sorry!" He bowed in apology

"Mew?" Tae looked at bowing male. "What's the hurry? Did you forget to turn in your assignment or something?" He bend down and helped Mew pick up the fallen notebooks and papers.

"Honestly, I'm surprised you haven't lost all your textbooks yet with how clumsy you seem to be." Tae said, giving the books to Mew.

"Sorry, it won't happen again." Mew said absentmindedly.

Tae's brow furrowed as Mew turned away from him. He gently grabbed other's wrist to keep him from leaving. "What's wrong?"

"It's.. nothing." Mew replied with a sigh, not looking at Tae. Tae gave his wrist a small shake, and Mew met his gaze. "If something's bothering you, you can tell me. I'm offering to listen." Saying that, Tae's cheeks turned a soft pink. "J-just this once.."

"I really don't have time to explain, I'm sorry." Mew grabbed the things, Tae picked up for him and shoved them into his bag.

"Are you sure, you don't need my help. Does it have to do with the club." Tae asked with a frown.

Mew nodded his head,. "It does, and I have to find everyone else. Have you seen Bright at all?" Mew asked, looking around the courtyard.

Tae shook his head, "You're the only club member I've seen all day."

Tae looked genuinely worried and started to offer help again, but Mew cut him off. "Just meet at the new clubroom in an hour or so. I'll explain then." Mew replied and left to find Bright.

It took a while, but eventually they all arrived in the new clubroom. "Are you OK, Mew?" Bright asks, concerned.

Mew shook his head with a sigh, "So, long story short, I made a mistake, and the club may disband If we don't find a new adviser soon."

Stunned silence permeated the room. "It'll be alright. We have a couple of days. But the sooner I can get this paperwork in, the easier we can all breath." Mew said.

"What can we do to help?" Earth asked, looking at Mew.

"Just tell us what need to be done, and we'll get right to work!" Tul said, determined to help the club.

Mew smiled, encouraged by their words, "Here's the plan of attack. Earth, Tul, and Tae, I want you three to split up and look for anyone that might be able to help." He then looked at Bright, "we'll start asking the faculty members if anyone could be interested."

"Sounds like a solid plan to me." Tae said with a nod.

"Indeed, let's get going." Tul said, ushering the other two mermen outside.
