Jin pov

We swam home. Jimin did nothing but apologise. That he gave me a headache.

But what's done is done Right?...

Taehyung doesn't think i should forgive him. But I do...I know he was manipulated by his mother.

we arrive at the palace and my father is outside.

"Seokjin" he said as he rushed to me. He throw his arms around me and hugged me close.

I don't remember the last time he hugged me. Wait i don't think he has ever hugged me.

"Where have you been?" He asked. "Your majesty Jin has no voice" Yoongi answered.

"No I have it"

Jimins mum the sea witch was now above us holding the pendent.

"You" dad said as he held his Triton tight. "Guards" he screamed.

"Not so fast. You see I have prince here's voice. You actually need me" she laughed.

"It's a trap" jimin shouted.

"Shut up you disappointment" she screamed at him.

"Whats going on" dad asked angrily.

"Your son fell in love with a human. He came to me for legs in exchange he gave me his voice. On the terms of she kisses and falls for him. He in return would his voice back as well as legs" she grinned.

"Sadly the human was to late" she laughed.

"Is this true?" Dad looked at me confused and ashamed.

I nodded slowly.

"You disgust me" dad looked at me with rage.

He moved me behind him and I grabbed his arm. "No! I won't help you" dad said looking into my eyes.

My dad hates me.

He Goes to leave.

"Wait.. aren't you going to make me a deal?" The sea witch was so confused.

"Why would i make a deal? Your not the only one with a disappointment of a son" dad frowned.

He isn't going to get my voice back because he doesn't care.. I'm a failure.. I am not fit to be a king.

My dad hates me.

Dad began swimming away.

"NO" she screamed. "You can't! you need to ask for it back. This is not apart of my plan" she wasn't happy.

"He doesn't deserve it" dad said when he stopped swimming.

"He has put shame on to the kingdom" dad looked at me. " you are to go to the Antarctic sea to marry the princess. You will not be king of my ocean" he looked so disappointed in me.

I'm being banished.

"You aren't going to beg for his voice" she shouted.

"No" dad said sharply.

She began to get angry. She grow in size.

"Get back boys" dad shouted.

"Your meant to beg for him! Your meant to give me your Triton in exchange for his voice!" She shouted in rage.

"My triton is more important to me then he is" Dad shouted back at her.

I looked at my dad.. did he just say that?

My friends watched in horror! Yoongi grabbed my arm.

A spark comes from her hands and she launches it down at us.

I don't move but Yoongi pulls me so we were behind a stone.

Why? He should have let it hit me... Its clear now that its for the best. I have ruined everything.

She carry's on launching bolts at us and then she turns to the palace. Launching more.This makes my dad angry. So angry he finally raised his Triton.

With a stern face and full concentration he held it up.

Light came out of the top and straight at her. It hits her and she fly's backwards.

She began to scream as she throws another of her own bolts at him. But this time it didn't hit anything! It went straight into his bolt.

Dad has never used his Triton to hurt another merperson. It's clear I don't even no the capability of it.

"This is the last straw" he screamed as he throw another at her this time it didn't hit hers. It his her head.

She screamed in pain. Jimin moves forward but Tae and Hobi put their arms out so he cant get past.

"You stupid-" she said but before she could finish. Dad blasted her again

BANG! We all flew backwards!

Little bits of black sprinkled in the sea.

"She's dead" jimin said as he put his hand and scooped some ashes.

"I'm sorry jimin" dad said to him.

"She's gone?" I said...

Wait. I can talk! "I can talk" I screamed. My friends rushed closer all excited.

Jimin stood there unable to talk.

Dad then commanded his guards to clean up the witches ashes. And he approached jimin "I have never used this to kill another merperson but I knew that day would come. I'm sorry your mother was who she was" he said to jimin before turning to me. "You deserve more then this" Dad sighed putting his hand on Jimins shoulder.

"You..." he looked confused.

I began to cry when i saw my dad wasn't angry.

"I was never going to let her get away with your voice. I am angry with you but I love you" dad said.

Wait..what..

I rushed over and throw my arms around my dad who welcomed the hug.

"I'm sorry I am not the merman you want me to be" I cried into my dads shoulder.

He sighed...

"You should leave and marry the princess of the Antarctica" he sighed. "Please I promise I be a better prince.. please I can't marry her." I pleaded. I let go of him and he sighed.

"Its an order" He said before he swam off inside.
