"Catch of Feelings"
Jin always loved fishing. But it was on one very strange fishing trip, casting his line into the deep blue waters, that he met her. Tuna. And not just any tuna. This was Super Tuna: fierce, glittering, and with an attitude.
Jin squinted, thinking he'd been out in the sun too long. "Did you just... wink at me?"
Tuna did a tail-flip. Yeah, she definitely winked.
He'd been fishing for years, but this? This was destiny. As he reeled her in, she somehow did a slick dolphin twist, landing in his boat with an elegant flop. Jin stared at her, and she stared back with those deep, sassy tuna eyes. If tuna could roll their eyes, she'd be doing it now.
"You're... you're different," Jin stammered, instantly smitten. Tuna merely raised an eyebrow. If she had hands, she'd be doing jazz hands to show just how unimpressed she was.

"Date Night... Sorta"Jin wanted to impress Tuna, so he set up a "date" on the docks, complete with soft music, a cozy lantern, and fish-flavored chips (for her). He even brought some pickled radishes for himself because romance required snacks.
"So, like, do you have hobbies?" he asked. Tuna just flipped her fin, which Jin interpreted as, "Swimming, duh."
"You're so mysterious," Jin whispered. "I... I think I'm catching feelings."
Tuna's fin slapped him in the face as if to say, Snap out of it, lover boy.

"tagram Official"
One night, Jin decided to make it "tagram Official."
He posted a selfie with Tuna with the caption: "When you know, you know." His fans flooded the comments.
@jk_armygirl: "Um, oppa, is this a joke? 👀"
@tae_4eva: "Bro, it's a fish. Is this a cry for help?"
Jin didn't care. He was in too deep (literally and emotionally). Tuna, meanwhile, was unimpressed but willing to tolerate him for the fish snacks.

"The Proposal Plan"
Jin was head over heels, and he knew he had to seal the deal. He needed a grand gesture. After all, a man doesn't propose to a tuna every day. So, he planned an oceanfront proposal, complete with fireworks and a giant "Marry Me?" sign.
On the big night, Jin stood in his best suit (a waterproof one, just in case), holding a tiny tuna-sized ring he'd specially ordered. "Tuna, I know we come from different worlds... but, will you... swim with me forever?"
Tuna tilted her head, possibly reconsidering her life choices, and did a graceful dive off the dock. Jin gasped, but then, to his joy, Tuna reappeared with a splash, tossing a shiny shell his way in acceptance.
Jin fell to his knees, hands to his heart. "Yes!" he cried, "She said YES!"

"Happily Ever Laughter"Jin and Tuna "moved in" together, aka, he built her a spacious tank with ocean views. They made headlines. Fans sent tuna plushies. "Fish-couple goals" trended. Jin even released a single inspired by her, titled Tuna Can't Keep Us Apart.
And there they stayed, the oddest but happiest couple. Jin continued to serenade her daily, convinced she winked every time he hit a high note. As for Tuna, well... she could get used to this human.
After all, how many fish could say they got their own Super Tuna song?
