Jady is a school for enchanted beings and sorcerers.
When a merman and wizard become roommates, they have to get used to eachother.
Triggerwarnings will always be at the beginni...
Yeosang glanced away and gently brushed the plush out of Jongho's hair. "There," he murmured bashfully. "Thanks. Well, um, I'm gonna go assist Joong with his project. So, yeah, goodnight." Jongho hurriedly made his way to the living room. Yeosang's heart raced in his chest, and he knew he had to distract himself somehow.
Yeosang walked away from the dorm, heading towards the beach as he listened to the birds chirping and the wind howling. It was getting late, and he had school the next day, but he didn't let that bother him. Upon reaching the beach, Yeosang sat down on the sand with his feet in the water, gazing at the horizon and the moon's reflection. This was his peaceful place, where he felt safe and content.
"Sangie, it's strange to see you out here at this time," someone commented behind Yeosang. Yeosang turned around and spotted Seonghwa standing there. "Oh, hey hyung. Just trying to clear my mind, you know," Yeosang replied, facing back towards the ocean. "I understand. Can I sit with you?" Seonghwa inquired. "Sure, feel free to stay," Yeosang responded, still gazing out at the ocean.
Yeosang approached Seonghwa and asked, "Hey, can I talk to you about something?" Seonghwa replied, "Sure, what's on your mind?" Yeosang hesitated a bit before asking, "How do you know if you're in love with someone?" Seonghwa thought for a moment before responding, "Well, it's when you feel like you can't think straight around them, like your whole body is on fire. It's a desire unlike anything else, wanting to kiss them every time you're close. Love is a complex thing." Yeosang looked at Seonghwa after hearing that. "Love seems so complicated," Yeosang sighed, resting his head on his knees. Seonghwa comforted him by putting an arm around his shoulder and said, "It may be difficult, but it's worth it." Yeosang lifted his head and asked, "Do you really think so?" Seonghwa nodded and replied, "I'm certain of it. Let me share with you the love I once had for someone." Yeosang rolled his eyes and muttered, "Ugh, him."
"I know, it didn't end well, but let's not dwell on that. I was head over heels for him, and I can't deny it. He brought so much happiness into my life and made me believe in things I never thought possible. Whenever I was with him, I felt beautiful, and he was the one who made me feel that way. He truly lit up my heart, and I have no regrets about loving him. Love is a risk worth taking, I promise you that, Sangie," Seonghwa said as he pulled Yeosang in for a tight hug. "Hey, if you ever have any questions or need someone to talk to, remember that you're always welcome with me," Seonghwa reassured Yeosang. "Do you want to head back now?" Seonghwa asked. "You can go, I think I'll stay here a bit longer," Yeosang replied. "Alright, take care, Sangie. Be careful," Seonghwa said before walking away.
'Love is a risk worth taking.' Yeosang repeated to himself.

3rd person POV (Jongho):
Jongho hopped over to where Hongjoong was arranging the materials for the project. "Hey, what's this project all about?" Jongho curiously inquired. Hongjoong grinned and replied, "It's all about the wonders of nature. Why don't you begin by painting those adorable little bushes I created?" Honghoong pointed towards the bushes. Jongho nodded and asked, "Should I use this color?" Hongjoong nodded in agreement. As Jongho painted the bushes, Hongjoong skillfully juggled various tasks, showcasing his exceptional multitasking abilities.
Hongjoong gazed at Jongho with curiosity in his eyes and inquired, "So, anything interesting going on in your life?" Jongho, feeling bashful, responded, "Well, I gave Yeosang the brooch." Hongjoong exclaimed, "Oh wow! You did? That's so sweet!" Hongjoong wasn't typically the sentimental type, especially with younger individuals.Encouraged, Jongho then mustered up the courage to ask Hongjoong, "Hey hyung, can I ask you something?" Hongjoong, still engrossed in his painting, replied, "Yes, of course.""Do you love Seonghwa?" Jongho's question took Hongjoong by surprise, causing him to almost choke on his own spit in astonishment. Regaining his composure, he said, "Well, I suppose you could say that. I'm still adjusting and trying to understand my emotions. Why do you ask?"Disregarding Hongjoong's response, Jongho pressed on, "What does it feel like?"
"It's like I always want to be around them, never getting tired of their company. I can't stop looking at them, catching myself staring often. It's like an intense feeling that words can't capture," Hongjoong expressed, looking at Jongho. "Hmm," Jongho replied, focusing back on his painting. "Is something on your mind, Jjong?" Hongjoong inquired. "Nope, I'm good," Jongho reassured with a smile.
Jongho pondered for a moment before asking, "Is it worth the risk?" Hongjoong looked at him curiously and replied, "What risk are you talking about?" Jongho thought for a moment before saying, "Love, is love worth the risk?" Hongjoong smiled and said, "Absolutely, it's worth every bit of it. I wouldn't give up Seonghwa for anything in the world." Jongho only experienced love from his parents and friends. Since his parents passed away, he now relies on their love to get by.
Hongjoong suddenly mentioned, "You know, love can also be platonic." He continued, "I care about all of you a great deal, platonically." Jongho playfully responded, "I never thought I'd hear that from you, hyung." Hongjoong playfully hit Jongho with a pillow, saying, "Oh, hush, Jongho." Then, in a more serious tone, he told Jongho, "It's perfectly fine to love someone. It's up to you whether you want to embrace it or not."
'Give me the bushes i'll head back to my dorm, thanks for helping Jjong' Hongjoong said, Jongho handed him the bushes he painted and bid his farewell.
'It's up to me to embrace it or not.' Jongho said to himself
'Am i ready to embrace it?' Jongho questioned
