FAIRYTALE LOVE: THE LITTLE MERMAID ; baekji

CHAPTER IV

All day, Eunji just stayed at the corner of the café or at the room she was staying in. It was already her third day staying at the café and again, she sat at the corner watching the others do their work. She can walk properly now but still trips every once in a while, and the others thought that it was because she's just clumsy.

She looked at the café, not too much people inside, Sehun and Kai even have the time to play and tease each other. Baekhyun was busy doing coffee, Chanyeol attending a customer and Kyungsoo and Junmyeon were at the kitchen with Chorong. Suddenly a hand tapped her shoulder, she look up and saw Chorong

"Bored?" Chorong asked raising both her eyebrows

"A bit" Eunji answered, smiling at her unni

"Come on then" Chorong said and held Eunji's hand

"Where?" Eunji asked, shocked by the sudden offer of Chorong

"Just come with me" Chorong pulled her up from her seat and to the door, Chorong then stopped and turned to the other boys

"Wait unni"

"Boys, I'm going out with Eunji for a while. Take care of here okay?" She said to them and pulled Eunji out the door.

"Unni, where are we going?" Eunji asked while she was being pulled, she looked back in the café and she could see the confused face of the boys inside, of course Chorong just suddenly pulled her out.

"Just having a walk, I know you're already bored inside" Chorong explained and giggled, like she was excited to what will happen

"Thanks" Eunji muttered simply. They climb down at the 5 stepped mini marble stairs before landing their feet on the sand.

"No worries" Chorong smiled and wrap her arms around Eunji's. Eunji felt happy. Chorong have told her, that even though she was with even even for just three days now, she felt that she was her sister. And Eunji could feel Chorong's sincerity, and she could feel that Chorong was really happy around her. And of course, she also felt that way. Chorong really was like an older sister, she really cared for her. Just like how her cousin Xiumin have cared for her.

They walk along the beach and stop by stores after store or just talk to each other. They entered a small store that sells souvenirs. While they were walking, she glanced at the vast sea, the sun reflecting on the clear water, she wondered how as the palace doing. How is Xiumin doing and how was her father doing? Was he even looking for her? Was he even worried that she was gone? Maybe yes, but probably it was because of the plan with the King of the East Sea Palace and not because she was his daughter.

"Waah it's beautiful" Chorong said as she saw different things inside a store that they just entered. Eunji shifts her attention back to Chorong and also look around but her eyes were stuck on a notebook designed with shells.

"Like it?" Chorong asked, noticing her look on the notebook

"Yeah, it's beautiful" She answered

"You can get it" Chorong said

"Really?!" Eunji exclaimed looking at Chorong with bright eyes

"Of course, oh pick also a pen, so it's complete" Chorong laughed and ruffled her hair

Eunji picks a pen from the bunch showed to her by Chorong, the pen also has a design that reminds one of the sea. After she picked, Chorong went to the old lady and paid for it. Eunji saw her and realized that it is not free

"Oh right, humans need to pay for things with money" she mumbled to herself. She have some knowledge about humans since she always observe them and read about them and asked about them to some mermaids.
