I found this in my drafts so here ya go

When Jungeun hears rustling in the back storage room, she feels annoyance grow inside of her. She heads towards the disturbance with a frown.

She just wants to get home and relax all weekend. She's tired from working all day (and having to close the aquarium, too), and the storm brewing outside isn't helping her mood.

Needless to say, Jungeun's got full-intent on scolding whoever's making so much noise.

She opens the door, and the shuffling stops, as if whoever it was has completely frozen in their spot. Jungeun turns the light on, walking further into the backroom.

"Kim Hyunjin, I swear to God if that's you back there again with your girlfriend I'm going to—"

She yelps when she turns the corner, eyes widening.

In front of her, on the ground, is a painfully ethereal blonde woman whose legs aren't legs—she's got a long tail full of shiny, blue scales—and whose chest is... completely bare.

Oh my God, Jungeun, you're staring .

"W—What.... who are you?"

The woman blinks, looking as scared as Jungeun does, "My name is Jinsol."

"Okay, Jinsol , what the hell are you doing here ?" she gestures around, "And... And shirtless , too—God, where is your shirt ?"

"I do not know how I got here," Jinsol replies.

Jungeun hates that she thinks her voice is attractive, too.

"Well, are you a newbie at work? It's late and the mermaid shows ended at six. You need to get that costume off and—"

"It is not a costume," Jinsol says, "I have no recollection of how I ended up here."

Jungeun stares at her, "What?" she laughs, moreso out of disbelief, "You're telling me you're an actual mermaid?"

"I prefer the term merperson."

" Jesus... " Jungeun mumbles. She lowers her eyes (and skips quickly over Jinsol's chest— sort of ) to the long tail that flaps quietly against the floor. Those scales do look a bit too expensive to be the aquarium's mandated ones...

"Will you help me?"

"Help you?" Jungeun repeats, "With what ?"

"Get home," Jinsol answers, "the water."

"I..."

It's been too long of a day for her, really.

"Fine. Yeah, sure, whatever —just—" she shrugs off her sweater and moves forward, kneeling down in front of the girl. Jinsol stares at her quietly as Jungeun helps the piece of clothing over her. Jungeun zips the sweater up and huffs when she reaches the top of the zipper, " There . Now... how do I get you out of here?"

-

"Why is your tail so heavy ?" Jungeun grunts as she slowly goes up the stairs of her apartment building, one foot after the other.

She's lucky that it's so late—none of her neighbors are awake to see her carry this merperson .

Jinsol's arms, wrapped around Jungeun's shoulders, tighten as she tries to adjust her position. Water droplets from the pouring rain outside trickles down their skin and falls onto the apartment's tiled floor. Jungeun's shoes squeak as she walks.
