I let a sigh out. Despite being in the water for half of my life, I still can't get used to it. Finding out I'm half mermaid, and in the world I live in, we have soulmates. And when you are fifteen, you and your soulmate get a matching tattoo. And this one, was mine.

When people think of mermaids, they always think of the sea. But there's more than that. There are fresh, sea, swamp, even arctic mermaids. Which made things worse for me, since I was a fresh water mermaid. Yeah, we could go to other waters, it would just be more difficult for us when we're not in our natural habitat. Sometimes it hurt our tails. Anyways, back to the soulmate thing. Each tattoo represents something. So both of us got a seahorse music note, meaning we were both music lovers, and made them too. And the seahorses means that we're more powerful than other mermaids. Did I mention that we had powers as well? Well yep... I do. The thing about the tattoos, is that they could be anywhere on your body. It could be on your wrist, arm, leg back, by your collarbone, you know what I mean. Mine was on my arm, near the shoulder.

Anyways... back to the story...






I let a sigh out as I swam around. This soulmate thing kinda bothers me. Since humans have them too. I was heading for the arctic waters, just hoping to bump into my soulmate. I already checked some parts of land, so after I gave up, I went to go look in the sea.

I saw a small swarm of girls following or crowding some guy, and I just happened to bump into him.

"Hey watch it!" he yells. I ignored him and swam on. "Hey, did you hear me?"

I turn around. "Yeah, I heard you. But that doesn't mean I'm was listening." 

"Don't you know who I am?" he says.

"I rather not," I smile and swim away. Jeez, mermaids are more arrogant than humans... He didn't look like a sea mermaid though. He looked like an arctic mermaid. I swam and found my uncle's house. And knocked on the door.

"Y/N!" Suho smiled.

"Hey uncle," I chuckled.

"Looking for your soulmate?" he asked.

"Yeah," I shrugged. "I looked around on land, but couldn't find him or her. So I figured they had to be a mermaid."

He lets me in. "How are your parents by the way?"

"Mom's been good," I answer. "And you know how my dad is, running his company and all." Well, I guess you could tell who was a mermaid and who was human. The way my parents met was funny and embarrassing. My dad and his friends went skinny dipping in a river like lake and met my mom. He thought she was skinny dipping too, until she revealed herself as a mermaid. He freaked out a bit, but later they became friends, to the point where they decided to show each other their soulmate tattoos. And their tattoos where some type of coin. And I guess you know what that means.

Rich/ business people yay.......

And after some time, my mom was given legs so she could meet my dad on land. Sadly it was for a short period. And so my dad had to take care of me.

"Wow, I can't believe you're gonna turn twenty two," Suho says.

"Yeah, I know," I say with a :/ face. "But I can't stay here for long."

"Ah really?" he asks.

"Yeah," I awkwardly smile. "I wanted to drop by, checkup on you, and say hi." I head back for the door. "See you around."

"Next time you're staying for dinner," Suho laughs and shakes his head. I leave his house and I see the boy again. I turn my head away and swim.

"How do you know Suho?" he asks.

"Why do you want to know?" I roll my eyes as he swims up next to me.

"Well maybe because he's a well known merman and one of the richest in the sea waters," he looks at me with a 'are you stupid look.'

"He's my uncle," I say, not looking at him and swam faster, away from him.

"He's your what?!" he swims after me.

"You heard me. Or were you even listening?" I smirk. "And stop following me."

"Is it wrong to be curious?" he smirked back at me. 

I scoffed and rolled my eyes. "You're worse than humans. I hope your day goes badly."

"And how do you know about humans?"  he cocks his eyebrows.

"Sorry stranger, but I don't want to talk to you," I shake loose of his grip and swim away. "Besides, I rather have a nice arctic mer-person to talk to."

"How'd you know I was one?" he asks shocked.

"Your scales says so," I stare blankly at him. "Well you wasted a lot of my time so I'm going-" he grabs my wrist again. "Hey, let go." Frustrated, I use my powers on him, pushing him away.

"Ugh!" he grunts. Then looks at me wide eyed. "Your powers how-"

"Keep harassing me and I will use my whirlpool on you," I say angrily.

"Look ok, I'm sorry for bothering you," he holds his side and swims up to me. "But I felt a small connection when we met. I think we might be soulmates."

"Why would the universe make us soulmates?" I ask.

"I don't know," he shrugs, and then winces at the pain. "Can I see your tattoo?"

"Aren't you able to heal yourself?" I ask. "And no, I'm not letting you see my tattoo." Just then, I felt something in my arm. I took off the covering I had on it, and it was glowing. I look at him, and his eyes were wide. He shows me his arm, and his tattoo was glowing too.

"I'm Vernon," he sticks his hand out.

"Y/N," I take his hand and shake it. 

"I searched the waters so much," he starts, "I was beginning to think I had to check on the land."

"Well unlucky of you, I'm half mermaid," I meh'ed.

"Really?" he says surprised. "No wonder."

"No wonder what?" I ask, pretending to be offended.  





To be honest, I don't know how to end it, so I will do a double update! Originally, you and Vernon were going to have a fight with your powers and find out that you were soulmates when you guys got in trouble. Meh, Imma go now and write another oneshot to satisfy you guys.
