Surf

*~Fifth Wish~*

He was just swimming to the boulder quietly when he heard a rustle.

He looked up to the boulder and he almost shouted at what he saw.

A human.

A human boy is standing over the boulder.

He couldn't believe his eyes. Why would a human be here at this time of the night?

He crept slowly to the big rock so he won't be heard but the human boy carefully picked up something shiny from the rock.

His necklace.

It shone in the moonlight as the other boy gently held it in his hands and examined it.

"It looks magical." the boy said.

The human boy was enthralled by the necklace just as the mer was enthralled by the human. He doesn't know what came over him, all he knows is that he feels drawn to this person, and he can't get it out of his emotions.

He didn't know why, but there was something about him that made the mer attracted to him. He felt a bond with the human that was unlike any other bond he has had before.

And so, every night, he waited for the human boy to arrive to the shore. He learned that the other boy's name is Jungkook, because of the human's tendencies to talk to himself.

As the days passed, he felt even more comfortable being in the human's presence. He didn't feel any danger at all. He knew that he needed to grant him a wish, just like his ancestors have done before.

But what if..

What if he doesn't like me?

It would make sense.

His looks were unlike any other mer out there in the sea. Others may have very bright and colorful tails, but there he goes with his plain dark blue tail. His eyes are also different; while others have round irises, he has longer ones that look like slits.

In short, he wasn't completely normal at all.

He is different.

He remembers how the mers called him "The Cursed Prince" because of his unusual appearance. They say that he looks like someone cursed by the sea god, when those cursed are the ones who have done wrong to other merpeople. At times, when he went out for his adventures, he would hear other mers mocking him behind his back.

If not for his royal position, they would have done even more hurtful things.

This, being ugly, has stripped him off his rightful position of being next in line to the throne, after his mother. Upon his birth, it has been decided that he would be the next one to rule the mers.

But as he grew older, people said that he had also grown uglier. They felt uncomfortable with an ugly ruler ruling them. Some were angry, but most of them were scared of him.

And so, because of the right of emotions, he was removed of his right. His emotions were disregarded; the queen cannot ignore the emotions of the majority.

As he was understanding, he chose to forget about this and continued on with his adventures to different places under the sea. He believes that his brother could be a better ruler. He has the qualities- and the looks for it.

Never had he thought about this memory ever since.

But seeing Jungkook made him do so.

He doesn't want to scare him. He knew Jungkook just wanted to meet one from his race. But he knew it wasn't possible, for all the other mers are still afraid of humans, so it would be just himself in this.

Yet, again, his emotions overtook him because of the memory. He felt afraid.

But the thought of Jungkook also crossed his mind. And so, he has decided.

"Wait for me Jungkook."
