namjoon had already left his pad before the sun could even rise but he made sure to himself to come back before taehyung could even notice he left.

he drove and arrived before an hour. he went to the capitol and to their headquarters, where he should be meeting with his co-scientists.

a sample is needed to be examined and namjoon got barely a week and four days to work it up. taehyung, the only specie of merewif  according to old english that is healthy and available. the government has been through years and years of going for a search in the oceans in the different parts of the world only to find a mermaid they would be experimentingㅡ just to put them to hold, force them to die and put them in a museum for fascination of humans.

"have you brought the specimen with you?" yoongi asked.

"yoongiㅡ" namjoon could not compose a sentence. "i need your help."

"joon? are you serious?" his friend sighed."you've been doing this for years why would you need my help?"

"that is not what i am talking about, you clearly know that."namjoon exclaimed.

"come on, its your work, namjoon. we've been through a couple of mermaids, the recent captive isn't an exemption."

"he is, yoongi. he isn't like any other specie of mermaid we have in capture for the last decade. he could be in human form yoongi, he could be like us." namjoon explained. "he got a whole life ahead of him, yoongi. think about it."

all yoongi can do is supress a deep breath. "that is not something unique, you know that. our last two captive before himㅡ"

"taehyung."

"whoㅡ what?"

"it is his name."

"fine, taehyung or whoever he is, our last captives can be humans too." yoongi told him.

"yes they can but what did we do? took their flesh and blood for samples, have microchips implanted in their systems and wait for them to die in a couple of months. taehyung, he is young. he is like your brother, yoongi. there are still captives held in the sanctuary waiting for release, and i am sure they are one with taehyung. the president haven't seen him yet, all i can do for now is find a way to replace taehyung." namjoon explained to his friend about what was his plan.

"and that is what i want you to help me with."

yoongi facepalmed." i-i don't know joon.", he frankly said, "what you have in mind is risky."

"i- i know. all you need to do is cover for me atleast. the sample are due in less than two weeks and that is enough for me." namjoon hoped yoongi would agree even on this.

"just don't get yourself in too much trouble because i can't cover for that."

"i knew i could count on you."

"fuck off."

namjoon chuckled.

he happily drove back home. he got the help he needed and he hopes that he can execute his plan successfully. all he need to do is ask for another help and he sure knows who that is.
