"You thought you could escape?" Chin Mae let out a loud laugh, clapping his hands as he threw his head backward. Jungkook gulped down his saliva. His body felt cold all of a sudden, Chin Mae, seemed like a psycho. Without thinking twice jungkook turned around on his heel and ran into the wild forest. He did not look behind, he was able to hear loud shouts and screams calling out his name but he did not care. All he knew right now was that he need to run. Run for his life.
He ran and ran as much as he could. He fell but held himself up without stopping in his way. His eyes were shedding crystal clear tears which fell on the ground under his feet. As if nature was able to feel his pain and misery the grey clouds decorated the evening sky. Thundering was all that could be heard along with the footsteps which were making their way in the unknown direction.
Soon the water started pouring from the sky falling on the young male who was gasping for oxygen because of running for hours, the beautiful strands of his hair were sticking to his forehead, as well as the clothes which were drenched in cold rainwater. He halted in his steps once he discovered he was standing on the edge of the hill. He was running mindlessly for all that time.
He was startled as a familiar voice rang through his ears. Turning around he was met again with chin Mae and his guards. He cried out loud as some of the hungry dogs were running toward his direction sent by chin mae. He took a step back but stopped as he felt a small pebble falling off the edge. He felt trouble breathing as the beads of sweat slid down his forehead. His gaze fell on the dog's jaws which were wide open as the freshly hunted blood dripped down on the ground, getting mixed in the dust underneath.
Jungkook had no choice left. He knew he had to die, either way, he closed his eyes tightly. Each step he took backward made his breathing more suffocating. The barks of hungry dogs reached his ears making him quiver on spot. As soon as one of the dogs jumped on him, jungkook jumped off the edge of the hill. He did not dare to open his eyes. Feeling the chilled breeze tickling his body as his hair was freely dancing along the wind.
A small smile curved on his lips. "I'm sorry...mother" a small whisper escaped his lips before a loud splash was heard.
Jungkook fell into the ocean. He felt the oxygen getting knocked out of his system. But he had no more power to fight. He gave up...gave up everything. All he wanted was death. He couldn't take it anymore. So, he let his body sink deep into the ocean waiting for the sour water to suffocate him to death or for a creature in the deep to devour him as their next meal.
Not even a minute later, he felt his eyes getting heavy as the water filled his nostrils making him choke. He thrashed his hands in the water, gasping for air. The dark spots started to appear in front of his eyes. A loud splash of something moving in the deep ocean was heard. He felt something being wrapped around his waist before the darkness consumed him. His body fell limp.
----
With a loud cough, Jungkook tried to open his eyes as he adjusted to the light around him. A surprised gasp escaped his lips when he noticed he was alive...breathing...that too under the ocean water. In a neatly cleaned chamber. He moved his gaze around the chamber. The walls were royal blue along with the golden art around the corners. There were some windows without any way to close them, letting the water freely come inside the room along with some small fish.
He noticed he was laying over a large shell, which was four inches larger than a human. It was comfortable. "Austa za soita" a sudden voice startled him. Which made him scream and hide behind the shell when he noticed a person with the sparkling blue tail of a fish, which was moving ever so delicately in the water. He had gills like a fish on his neck, the aqua blue hairs which were swaying as the golden sparkles around his cheekbones were adoring his face.
Jungkook was mesmerized when he noticed the golden eyes of the creature with a crown made of shells placed on his head. "Zuka" the creature spoke, his deep voice sending tingles down the younger male's spine. A frown clearly visible on his handsome features. But Jungkook was too gone to respond. His gaze was fixed over the creature's sharp nose which had a small mole over it's tip. Suddenly, he was brought back to reality when the creature snapped his fingers infront of his eyes. Jungkook screamed again when he noticed the creature so close to him. Before he could swim more under the shell. The creature wrapped it's arms around his waist pulling him back in the place.
"Zukaa?" The creature let out a small whine. As if it was frustrated because of the human who was not answering his question. Jungkook gulped down his saliva. Fidgeting with his fingers nervously as he created a safe distance between himself and the creature. "A-ask in h-human l-language" jungkook stuttered. Gripping on the shell as he was standing behind it to avoid getting close to the creature.
Jungkook observed as the creature kept starring at him with those deep eyes. He noticed he had one monolid and a double lid. Which give his face a striking aura. His eyes were sharp like a piece of broken glass. "Zuka. Means how did you reached here and ended up getting sinked down in ocean?" Again the same calming and deep voice rang through Jungkook's ears. The voice was so serene that it was enough to make anyone put to sleep. Jungkook snapped his head towards the creature. He was shocked how the creature learned human language. "I-I jumped f-from the c-cliff"
"Why?" The creature asked again. Knitting his eyebrows in confusion, but stopped when he noticed the traces of uncomfort on Jungkook's face. "It's okay. No need to tell me. Let me introduce myself. I'm Kim Taehyung. Prince of this ocean" he introduced, his lips curving into a box shaped smile which again surprised jungkook. Why would someone be friendly to a stranger that too who is not even a creature like him. "I-i'm J-jeon j-jungkook um why a-are you s-so c-calm with m-me uh. I m-mean. I'm a s-stranger". Jungkook asked out of curiosity even tho he was terrified.
A deep chuckle echoed in the chamber as the creature set inside the large shell. Resting his tail over the edge of the shell. "You belong to sea. That's why I'm calm with you. Why do you think i saved you? The waves sent me to you." Taehyung explained letting out a small yawn as he stretched his arms. "w-why?" Again a question came his way. Taehyung shook his head slightly and slid his hand over Jungkook's head. Carassing the hairs slightly. "You will know soon... It's not the time yet for you to know"
Jungkook gulped and nods. He better not question about it again. Even tho Taehyung was sweet to him. He was still not able to be comfortable around him. They were strangers after all. Along with that Taehyung was a merman. Not a human. Jungkook had several questions which were creating a tornado in his mind but he choosed to ask them slowly as the time passes. "B-But how do you k-know human language. A-and what was th-hat A-auhta ae sota?" Jungkook asked. Tilting his head slightly as his lips were parted in confusion.
"Austa za soita? That means. Oh you woke up. It's us mermaids and mermans language. That's why you did not understood. And about how i learned your human language. That's because i did not. I just copied your knowledge in my mind with some spells. Nothing else" Taehyung explained. Making some place for jungkook beside him. "sit here human. I won't bite." He giggled at the Embarassed male who hesitantly set beside him, still at a safe distance.
