Jin pov

"I really don't think we should be here" Yoongi said as he followed me into the boat wreck. "It will be fine" I assured him trying not to sound overly confident in the process. I know how that pisses Yoongi off.

"You always say that! And something happens" Yoongi looked petrified as he now swam next to me. I grinned at my mint haired friend who did nothing but glare back at me.

If looks could kill i think i would have died many times over.

"Stop being such a guppy" I laughed. "I told you to not call me that" he mumbled. "Then don't be one" I continued to laugh which made Yoongi even more annoyed.

Then suddenly we heard noises coming from behind. "Shit" Yoongi said looking at me with wide eyes. I gulped as we both turned to see what was approaching us. ...

There behind us was a great white shark! Big fucker!

"Go go go" I screamed at yoongi.

We swam as fast as our finns could lets us!

"There there" Yoongi screamed as he pointed forwards to a gap between the large stones. I nodded in response and we swam for it.

I swam in first and then yoongi was close behind me. The gap was tiny thou and I could feel it rubbing against my broad shoulders. I grit my teeth as i feel the stone grazing them.

CRASH!

We both turned to see the shark was bashing the stones. "Fuck sake" i shouted as we squeezed through the stone as fast as two grown arse mermen could!

Finally We got thru to the other side and then we turned to see the shark was now stuck between the stones.

"Yes" I cheered turning to Yoongi for a high five yoongi (as expected)was staring at me with arms folded.

"We could have been eaten" he snapped in a pissed voice. "Bet we would taste nice" I joked and began swimming off. "Jin!" He shouts behind me.

We carried on to our secret place. (Which pretty much was our friend Taehyung home now as he just wont leave). It's also where we stash our things that we find.

Once there we move the large stone door and go inside. We were meet with loud music and singing. Yoongi sighed as he rolled his eyes.

We go inside and see Taehyung with an instrument and a crab friend of his singing. We both ignore him.

I go to the corner and open my bag putting the things we found to day on the floor.  Yoongi comes over and does the same. before he goes off and lays down on the shell bed. "Wow what did you find?" Taehyung said as he now stopped singing and putting his instrument down.

"Some of these" I said handing him a a sold silver thing with 3 pointed ends.  Reminded me of dads Triton.

"What is it?" I asked him as i hand one to him. You see Taehyung has travelled the 7 seas in his time and that is impressive i tell you that. He's seen many boats and swam to many shores as his parents were travelling mermaids that would collect information for the kingdom. He has seen the humans and seen how they live. He knew so much!

"A dingle hopper" he said holding up this silver hard thing with 3 pointed ends.

"A what" Yoongi said raising a eyebrow and looking over. "Dinglehopper " Taehyung said again. "Yes a dinglehopper" Taehyung started smiling as he felt so proud of himself. "and what is this dingle-" I began to ask but he interrupted and corrected me. "Dinglehopper" He grinned. "I was getting there....so...What's is it for?" I said as i picked up another one.

"Watch" Taehyung said as he began combing his blue hair with it.

I watched in amazement. Yoongi on the other hand watched in disbelief.

"Wow it's like a comb" I grabbed it from Him and began combing my own own hair. "wow..this is amazing. Yoongi have a try" I stopped and got up to hand it to him. "Pass" He said completely unamused. "We nearly got killed by a shark so you could get a new comb" He grunted turning over.

"I didn't expect to see you today" Taehyung said whilst rummaging through the other bits we got. "Oh why's that" I asked as i began combing my gorgeous brown hair.

"Isn't it your dads show with your brothers for the king of that other ocean" he said and I stopped combing... shit! It is!

"Fuck" i shrieked as i got up.

I rushed out and swam as fast as I could.

"Shit shit shit" I kept saying as I swam back to town and to the performance hall.

I slowed down when i saw the merpeople leaving and I quickly hid behind a shell statue of dad. "shit" Hes coming out.

"Where is he? I'm fed up of him not turning up to events!" Dad (aka the king) shouted. "I haven't seen him all day your majesty" Hobi said as he swam next to him. "Go find him" dad shouted at him before he swam in the other direction to me.

"Psss...pss" I was trying to get Hobis attention. He looked around trying to see where it was coming from "Hobi" I said and he spotted me. Our eyes met and i could feel his angry eyes. That were probably imagining how he was going to conduct my death!

"I swear jin I'm going to-" he said angerly to me which waving his pointed finger at me. "I'm sorry I'm sorry" I pleaded with him "put that down before you poke my eye out" I grabbed his hand and lowered it. "Poking your eyes would be a easy punishment" He grunted at me.You see Hobi is one of my closest friends. We grow up together. His dad was my dads royal adviser. Then when he passed away last year Hobi took the position.

Sometimes it's really weird having one my friends work for my dad so closely. And at times i have had him give me lectures as if he is my dad! But i know deep down he has my back."Where were you?" He crossed his arms frowning. "I erm. ...Well long story.......Yoongi and i was swimming and...we erm" I stuttered our whilst gliding my hand through my hair. (Could really do with using that dinglehopper right now) "I think i know what your trying to tell me..." he sighed and turned around. I pouted and flung my arms around him.

"I'm sorry" I said in a well (I think) cute voice. "I am in the right mind to cut your hair off" he said and I let go grabbing my gorgeous hair. "Never" I shrieked and finally Hobi let out a smile. I grinned at this. "I won't.. but your dad... well... he might" He laughed and began swimming off in the direction of the castle.I... am ... screwed!!!
