Jimin was sitting in the tub as he looked through the curtain with a distant look on his face.

So many things happened ever since he's on land: Kidnapped by the pirates; Getting sold yet rescued; Reuniting with Yoongi and that nightmare about sabotaging the Luna Day Festival, along the Sea King.

Jimin didn't know if he should believe that or just shrug it off.

"Don't think too much, Jimin. You might melt the tub with your glare."

The blond merman blinked and looked up at Yoongi — who was smiling softly at him.

He pouted and scoffed. "I'm not!" He protested. 

The raven haired chuckled and knelt down in front of him. He raised his hand and ruffled his blond hair.

"I'm going to miss you though."

Jimin blushed and smiled shyly. "I-I'll miss you t-too." He then frowned and sighed sadly. " We just reunited and I have to go again."

"Jimin, look at me." Yoongi said softly and Jimin raised his head to look at his childhood friend.

Yoongi scanned his face with his dark eyes and hunmed lowly.

"We'll meet again, Jimin." He said and smiled. "Just like we did a few days ago but just hope that won't end up getting you kidnap again."

That made Jimin giggle and Yoongi felt his heart thumped at his chest. "But you'll save me again... For the third time."

Yoongi shook his head. "You put too much faith in me."

Jimin leaned forward and cupped his cheek. Yoongi's eyes widened and gulped — feeling nervous about the small proximity between them.

"It's because I trust you, Yoongi."

' Be still my heart.' Yoongi thought as he felt his face getting warm.

The commodore scowled and looked away. "W-when did you become so romantic?"

Jimin shrugged. Yoongi sighed and took a deep breath to calm his heart.

"Before you go, let's have fun." Yoongi said with a smirk. "Since I'm on my day — off."

Jimin scrunched his eyebrows. "What are we going to do?" He asked.

"I miss this." Jimin said and sighed in content as he swam around — feeling the cold temperature of the sea.

Yoongi was on a boat, setting the paddles in it. The human looked ahead to see that they were far enough from the Royaume. He could still see the palace from the right side of the land.

"So, what are we going to do?" Jimin asked as he crossed his arms on the edge of the boat.

"Just going out for a little swim with you." Yoongi replied as he started to unbutton his white long sleeved shirt.

After shrugging the shirt off and took off his boots, he stood up and jumped in the sea.

He emerged to surface and gasped. Jimin swam towards him as Yoongi bubbled.

"It's been a long time since I swam in the sea." Yoongi said.

Jimin giggled and held his hand. "Hold on to me, I want to show you the beauty beneath the mysterious sea."

Yoongi hummed in amusement. "Romantic and Poetic." He teased.

"Shut up. I bet humans are too."
