****** in the sea of your eyes I want my soul to drown ******
by xsxuxgxax
Summary
     Jeongguk doesn't care about Namjoon's opinion on his life choices, he
     has not only one but three mermen anyway
Notes
     I'm trash for Jikook (灬♥ω♥灬)
***** hallucinations in the sea are common *****
 
It's not that Jeon Jeongguk is a hermit per se. It's just that he really values
his personal space. Like his home, new home, in the middle of an island in the
Micronesia he decided to buy when his neighbor back in Seoul decided that they
had to be friends and that parties were better the louder.
 
(And okay, maybe there's a lot of space between Korea and the Micronesia but
well. Decisions are hard.)
 
Jeongguk is a proud man with an IQ of 189 that brought him fortune and fame
before he could even reach his thirty so now with twenty-seven recently turned
and a fat bank account he can easily point a dot in a map and say "Hey. I'm
gonna buy this". Namjoon thought he was been crazy till Jeongguk showed him the
design of the main house and beach house.
 
So a couple of days after his decision making, Jeongguk set his plans in
motion. They could say money does not buy happiness but it does buy food,
houses, pays rent, clothing and all the necessities people need every day, it
might not buy happiness but is pretty important for life then. Jeongguk knows
better than to believe in modesty and philosophical stupidities. It takes a
whole month for him to have electricity, plummy and a good foundation and
columns for both houses, for the walls he uses concrete and wood for some parts
and for the rest a very resistant glass. He likes big spaces so the insides for
both houses are open and divided just by the furniture he specifically buys to
each. Some bamboo walls too. The bathrooms are the only ones completely
privates besides two rooms with keypads, not like he’s going to invite someone
else to live with him. Ew.
 
Once all the complicate deeds are done, he takes Hoseok, Namjoon and Seokjin to
help him finishing a few details in the main house. The beach house still lacks
of some things but is not really important for him to finish it that fast. He
takes them there more for the fact that Hoseok is an annoying hyung that likes
to compulsively call him every day whining. 
 
Seokjin, out of the three punks, his oldest hyung deadpans that he would worry
for his safety all alone in there but then he remembers the helicopter in the
garden that he himself designed for the young brat and Jeongguk's unsettling
weapon collection that found their way to the second closed space in the house
–Jeongguk is just a proud collector and weapons aren't a weird item to collect,
mind you. Jeongguk reminds him, to his own displeasure, that he has a Resort
Hotel just a few miles away and a town just at a 30 minutes distance.
 
"Call me when you think you're going crazy" Namjoon puts a hand on his shoulder
when Jeongguk flies the three to the airport, enjoying once again Hoseok's fear
by him swinging the helicopter and oh poor Hobi falling into the dark sea.
Jeongguk shakes the thing two times out of sadistic pleasure before Seokjin
smacks him in the head. "You know? When you start talking to yourself or a
volleyball" Namjoon scratch his chin, "Or if you're on the yacht and see a
ghost pirate ship, a mermaid just– I'm here for you"
 
"...Right"
 
And after an awkward goodbye, until they have time to bother him again, he goes
back to his own personal paradise.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
"I'm the only king in here"
 
Jeongguk has being enjoying himself in his utopia for the past three days after
his friends left, but is when he decides to jump from the dock of his private
beach into the water gently illuminated by the big lines of floating lanterns
Seokjin brought that he sees it. See them.
 
At first of course he thinks there's a shark swimming around but then his
supposed shark turns into two and then in something else. He pushes the goggles
off his face to focus better and there are two pairs of shining eyes watching
him from afar and he would swear if he is asked that he can also hear giggles. 
 
Jeon Jeongguk, 27 year old successful business man with a degree in Engineering
and Physics, big bank account and IQ of 189 doesn't escape from the madness of
seeing the tails of two mermaids in the see. (Wait. No boobs. Does that mean
mermen then?) Because he must really be going crazy if he thinks he's watching
what he thinks he is watching.
 
"Awesome" Namjoon's theory of him going insane alone in there is proving to be
accurate. He rubs his eyes and turns, ready to get out of the water straight to
his bed ready to forget, which should be the best.
 
Except, the giggling seems to be getting closer and he's not fast enough to
reach the dock before one of his imaginary mermen swims across him. The other
one suddenly popping by his side, gorgeous blue and golden eyes sparkling
framed in this sweet face with cute rosy cheeks and black hair, pale skin.
They're positively a contrast to each other being the other blonde with green
eyes and golden skin. Tan would be a more accurate term for someone that lives
in the sea, right? And for a fraction of second Jeongguk also wonders if their
skin would taste salty. He notes too that the colors of their eyes are a match
with their tails.
 
The blonde then grins widely and waves at him enthusiastically with one hand
and before he can fully process it there's a soft high pitched voice almost by
his ear whispering a sultry "Hello"
 
Jeongguk thinks his left arm is feeling funny. He's so screwed if he's having a
heart attack. But his life seems to be spare when he looks down and the funny
feeling turns out to be the dark haired merman's hand.
 
"Aren't you touchy" he whispers and is proud of himself when his voice comes
out normal. No big deal, they're just two mermen one with blue golden eyes
smiling at him. "So... "
 
"I'm Jimin!" and blue eyes has a name now –not that Jeongguk was wondering
because this is obviously a hallucination.
 
"I'm Taehyung!" Blondie is now by his other side. "But you can call me TaeTae!"
Jeongguk nods –not that he is agreeing to it since this is just a
hallucination.
 
"What's your name, sailor?" Jimin's high pitched voice is still sultry in his
humble opinion to his ear when he gets that much closer. 
 
And Jeongguk has read about it sometime when he was a child (when he was 7
years and a half, a rainy afternoon in Busan when his mother was taking a nap
and the cartoons on the TV weren't funny — he has photographic memory) that
sirens used to sing and drag sailors to their trap to sink them deep down in
the sea.
 
"I'm not a sailor" Jeongguk would have hit himself if isn't for the hand
stroking his fingers –Blondie, Taehyung, has as much as personal space
boundaries as Jimin. "I'm Jeon—Jeongguk"
 
"If you're not a sailor then what are you?"
 
"I'm a lot of things, actually. And it's getting cold so if you won't mind I'm
going the get out" and possibly to forget.Hallucinations. Yes. Hallucinations.
 
"You have a lovely house there, sailor!" Taehyung swims by his side.
 
"Can we go, too?" Jimin is quickly all over him again. 
 
"Huh?" Strong hallucinations.
 
"We have been watching how you built it" and by now, Jimin's voice has him
just...fuck. "You're so strong carrying all that stuff"
 
"Your friends are kinda cute, too" Taehyung adds. "Too bad they left, right?"
 
"Can we? Can we?" Jimin's breath ghosts over his cheek.  Too close.
 
"I—" In the incredible scenario where Jeongguk agrees to that, how can they?
The main house is at least 300 meters away from the dock and the beach house
isn't ready yet. Not that Jeongguk is thinking about good manners and how to be
a great host. "I can't carry you both" So it's a no-no. Sad.
 
Jimin laughs and it's literally melodic, "Don't be silly"
 
Jeongguk swims back to the dock, climbs up and watches Jimin extending his arms
towards him, he sighs and leans down taking him out of the water, same with
Taehyung. Jeongguk then watches in awe as the beautiful shining tails start to
shrink and morph. They morph till Jeongguk sees two pair of legs. And skin. A
lot of skin. He feels his face going hot, so hot, just as hot as the two boys
looking up at him. Naked gorgeous boys. "Fuck!"
 
So after quickly collecting a couple towels to cover them, Jeongguk leads them
to the main house listen to their stories about the cute baby oysters they saw
the other day to the previous night when they had to escape from a huge cranky
shark and ended up there, in the tunnels under the rocky part of the island.
"Are you okay?"
 
"Of course, Jeonggukie" Taehyung smiles, "We're fast"
 
"Carry me, Jeonggukie!" Jimin says right before jumping onto his back.
 
"Hey! You say I didn't have to carry anyone!"
 
"But you're so strong" Jimin whimpers in his neck, caressing his biceps.
 
Taehyung clings to his right arm, towel around his waist threatening to fall at
any second.
 
 
 
 
"There is a river inside your house, Kookie" Taehyung yells.
 
At some point from the beach till the house he went from Jeonggukie to just
Kookie which is better than sailor, and yes he does, just not quite literally.
The water from the sea had managed to get into the island and it does look like
a river and Jeongguk thought it would be cool for the aesthetic to extend it
inside the structure. If he wants it he can jump in and swim back to the beach.
There's no danger going inside though since he made sure to install a metal
fence to separate it from the open ocean.
 
To Jeongguk's relief, or not, both boys take the white robes he offers them
because he knows the towels around their bodies are going to fall and that
would be a trouble. Big trouble.
 
"Is that a TV, Kookie?" Jimin sits excitedly besides him on the couch. Taehyung
at his other side tells him is huge.
 
"How do you know of TVs?"
 
"We're not fools, Kookie" Jimin whines cutely pinching him slightly in the arm,
"This is the 21th century, you know?"
 
Ehm... Jeon Jeongguk, 27, IQ of 189. "Sorry"
 
"Turn it on!"
 
So Jeongguk sits there watching MVs and occasionally smiling at the mermen
idiosyncrasy. They both enjoy dancing and even though they are just moving
around doing nothing specific at the rhythm, they look cute. And honest to
himself, Jeongguk's eyes find itself often drifting to one merman in
particular.
 
"I'm hungry" Taehyung breathes out throwing himself across his lap, "Can you
feed us?"
 
Well, because of his way of living Jeongguk found himself years ago with the
need to acquire how to feed himself, so he learned. Trial and error. But he
learned well. "Sure" he stands, shoving the boy gently. "But I don't really
know what you guys eat"
 
Jimin leans on him, "Something yummy" he giggles.
 
 
 
 
Jeongguk has a kitchen full with a little of everything, he has an extended
taste and new things are good still Jeongguk doesn't even know what to pick up
first. Jimin said yummy and yummy means many options. "What to do? What to do?"
he whispers, unaware of the sparkling eyes watching his every move from the
other side of the place. 
 
15 minutes later he puts two plates across the boys with a couple sandwiches
filled with cheese, ham, ketchup and mayo. That should do it. Sandwiches are
good and safe. Yummy. (He actually was about to fry some fish he had from the
morning but then he thought that that may be insulting or something? He does
not know the etiquette for mer people)
 
Jimin is the first to tell him how good it is and Jeongguk doesn't know he’s
holding his breath till then.
 
"Aah" Taehyung pats his tummy, "Is getting hot, right?" he turns to Jimin and
the dark haired male nods. Jeongguk however cocks an eyebrow because the AC is
functioning well he can tell.
 
"We should get back home now, Kookie" Jimin, who had his head leaned on his
shoulder drinking from an apple juice pack nods and smiles at him.
 
"Open the door" Taehyung points and Jeongguk follows his finger to the wall
where the river, like Taehyung keeps calling him, goes under and out. Jeongguk
does and tells them how to open the next one, he turns his head quickly falling
into the couch when Taehyung strips off his robe. "Bye Kookie!" He jumps into
the water.
 
Jimin, on his part, moves and stands rights in front of him, almost in between
his parted legs. Jeongguk gulps while colorful eyes lock on his owns. Jimin
undoes the knot and lets the towel fall, supple pale and tempting skin exposed
that Jeongguk suddenly finds himself unable to keep his eyes away from.
 
Jimin licks his lips, "Bye Kookie. See you soon" and follows his friend.
 
Jeongguk breathes slowly.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
It's been days since Jeongguk's incredible encounter with mermen so it must
have been a hallucination. Yeah. The dishes he had to wash and the towels he
had to pick are evidence of nothing.
 
He tries to move on. Tries. Minimal effort, really. But he tries. 
 
Except, Jimin –oh beautiful Jimin– does show up after midday in a sunny calm
day.
 
"Taehyung went to play with Minjae and they often disappear for days" Jimin
explains, putting on the big black t-shirt Jeongguk offers him, "And I wanted
to play, too"
 
Play time there to Jimin means more music videos because he also likes to sing
besides dancing. Jeongguk offers him pasta with white sauce and he feels his
chest inflate a little when Jimin thanks him for another delicious meal and
lets him clean the side of his mouth —there's when Jeongguk feels proud that
the shake of his hand isn't that obvious.
 
It's almost by sunset that Jimin complains about heat and walks toward the
water. "I'll come play again later" he takes the T-shirt off, nothing under and
turns his head slightly sensing Jeongguk behind him. He jumps into the water
and the mere contact with it has him cooling up and feeling all better quick.
 
Jeongguk jumps, too.
 
Jimin giggles watching him resurface, fully clothed, he gets his hair out of
his eyes before looking straight to his eyes. "What's so funny?"
 
"You"
 
It's a small space, less than two meters down and wide.  Jeongguk walks towards
him and the merman easily lets him cage him against the tiled wall and his
arms. "I'm gonna kiss you" Jimin doesn't say anything, "Is that okay?" the boy
nods and eagerly wraps his arms around his neck, tail under the water moving
side to side.
 
Fuck, Jeongguk thinks as he moves forward and finally has the chance to learn
what those beautiful full lips does taste like.
 
Divine.
 
They kiss for a while, Jimin responding to his every move with equal passion.
Moaning softly when Jeongguk gets even bolder and nips lightly on his bottom
lip, taking in the sight of how red they have become. He runs his hand down
Jimin's back till where his tails starts. Fuck, he’s definitely going to dream
about his gorgeous bottom.  
 
Jimin says he'll be back soon when minutes later they finally untangle from
each other. Jeongguk stays wondering how soon is soon.
 
 
Soon turns out to be this time just past 2:17am.
 
 
Jeongguk wakes up with an extra weight on his torso and pats himself mentally
for having taught them how to open the little fences by themselves.
 
"Open your eyes, Kookie" Jimin whispers on his ear seated comfortably on his
lap.
 
Jeongguk opens his eyes and a shiver runs down his spine as Jimin's nails down
his exposed chest and abs.
 
"Hey, you're back"
 
"Told you"
 
Jeongguk shrugs, settling his hands on soft hipbones. "I wasn't expecting to be
able to see you this soon"
 
"You missed me then?" Jimin's entire face is smiling, "But I only left for a
bit. Aren't you clingy?"
 
"Oh my god! Who teaches you to speak like that?" Jimin giggles. "So— You here,
like this, means?"
 
"What do you think?"
 
"I'm thinking about pinning your wonderful body beneath mine and fuck you
senseless but Seokjin tells me to always be a gentleman so"
 
"Wanna fuck me so bad, Jeongguk?"
 
"With fear of probably sounding like everyone else that has seen you, I really
do"
 
"Lots of sailors had wanted to" Jimin brings his right hand slowly and gently
upwards, "They tell me I'm beautiful and that they want me" he leans down,
their mouths almost brushing, "Some of them have dark hearts, you know? I like
to drag those down" he cups his face before placing a soft kiss on his lips,
"You don't have a dark heart, Kookie"
 
Jeongguk's breath hitches, "...Good for me, I guess"
 
Jimin sits up, "You know? Only the really lucky ones have the chance to be with
one of us, and after that nothing bad will ever happen to you. We bring luck
just as much as dismay. I was called monster a bunch of times"
 
Jeongguk reaches his cheek, caressing softly, "I have known you for a couple of
days and I'm pretty sure there's nothing bad in you. You're not a monster"
 
"How can you be sure? There are histories of us in your world"
 
"A hunch. I have always trusted my instincts, and I know you’re good"
 
"Take me then"
 
 
 
Jeongguk still doesn't know if maybe he really did went crazy and he's
imagining all that and Namjoon is laughing somewhere but he wants to keep in
his memory every inch of Jimin's body, every expression he makes, every sounds
he lets out pass his plump pink lips. He thanks the heaves for his great memory
and the chance to discover something so good as Jimin —because it has to be
real.
 
Jimin whines when he detaches his lips from his skin but does as he says when
he asks him to turn around. Jeongguk drinks in the image exposed in front of
him and promptly kneads the soft flesh of his buttocks. He leans down and bites
slightly dragging more noises out of the brunette spreading his cheeks apart.
He licks his lips at the sight and quickly dashes to look for lube in the
bedside table, he pulls two drawers before finding one, quickly coating his
fingers. Jimin murmurs how good it smells.
 
Jeongguk pushes one finger in and curses at how tight it feels, says how good
it will feel around his cock. Jimin hums, "...It's my first time" which makes
Jeongguk stop for a moment before continuing, even gentler but equally eager.
He goes until he's four fingers in and one hand teasing Jimin's dick and balls.
 
"Jeonggukie it feels so good, I'm going to explode"
 
"Ssshhh, baby. Not yet" he brings his fingers out, both hands keeping his
cheeks apart while he this time licks across his quivering rosy stretched hole.
"You taste sweet" not salty.
 
Jeongguk takes a pillow and shoves it under Jimin's body bringing his hips a
bit more up and spreading his legs more.  The merman grips the sheets under his
hands and takes a deep breath when he feels Jeongguk pushing slowly into him. 
 
"Ah Kookie..." Jeongguk doesn't stop till he's balls deep. "I feel so full"
Jeongguk rest his forehead for a moment between his shoulder blades, leaves a
sweet kiss there and pulls back almost entirely before thrusting back in. Jimin
moans sinfully at that so Jeongguk does it again and again.
 
He turns Jimin a few minutes later, bringing his legs up with his arms for a
better angle, watching in detail how his face shows exactly what he's
experiencing. "Gosh, you're so beautiful"
 
He pounds harder and knows he's leaving the prints of his hands all over the
pale body under him. He ravishes his mouth and groans heavily when his orgasm
approaches. Jimin cums first though. White hot ropes tainting their bellies,
Jeongguk keeps fucking him through it but restrains himself from coming inside
him. Instead, he pulls out and crawls over Jimin's chest, he strokes himself a
few times and the visual he has is everything he needs to cum all over the
merman's face and neck. Some landing in his lips and fuck he could have cum a
second time watching how lead by curiosity Jimin licked and swallow it some.
 
He falls breathless next to him, keeping his eyes open. When he regains some
strength he picks up the discarded shirt next to the bed and wipes their bodies
before pulling Jimin into his chest, the raven boy happily hugging him back.
 
 
 
Past 5 AM, with the sun wanting to show again soon, Jimin pulls away from his
body. Jeongguk awakes immediately. Jimin says again that he'll be back soon so
Jeongguk tells himself he will patiently wait.
 
 
 
 
And Jimin does come back, it's just that he doesn't come back alone. Jeongguk
doesn't mind Taehyung's presence, the boy is dangerously cute.
 
So, Jimin doesn't come back alone but he doesn't come back just with Taehyung
again.
 
They bring another friend.
 
Jeongguk thinks Jimin is absolutely gorgeous as in his cartoon heart is being
rudely attacked with cupid's arrows, he thinks Taehyung is breathtakingly
beautiful but damn, this new fella is just unreal.
 
Min Yoongi, how he introduced himself, lets Jeongguk completely speechless. He
can only stare. Stare at those gorgeous icy blue eyes surrounded by black
around the iris, his fair skin so pale that Jeongguk wouldn't dare to touch in
fear of marking it, his hair flaming red with the tips black. He's still Jimin
biased, but damn!
 
"Yoongi is really beautiful, right?" Taehyung whispers, Jeongguk nods watching
Jimin helping the merman putting a shirt on. One of Jeongguk's dress black
shirts, he can't bring himself to say a thing.
 
Five minutes later he has three mermen sitting in his white fluffy settee, each
dressed in only one piece of clothing. Wow, so…
 
"Jeongguk" Yoongi starts, his eyes glancing around, "What cool stuff do you
have here?"
 
"Yoongi likes shining things and Hip Hop!"
 
"Hip Hop?"
 
Yoongi locks his intimidating eyes on him, "I met this sailor once, he let me
go in his yacht and showed me his music taste, Hip Hop and ballads are the ones
I like the most"
 
"He also gave you shinny things" Jimin points out and just then Jeongguk
notices the short gold necklace with a nice pink rock in the middle and the
three rings in his hands.
 
"Oh yeah..." Yoongi shrugs, "What cool stuff do you have?"
 
"Why don't you just look around?" Yoongi does so after telling him to put some
music, BTS or Drake would be fine. Jeongguk complies and tells himself that
this can only get even more incredible so he better get used to and not to be
so shocked.
 
 
 
 
 
***** he has three, until Namjoon shows up *****
Chapter Summary
     Namjoon keeps calling him crazy and asking for the satellite phone to
     call the closest mental institution (until he goes crazy as well)
 
Jeongguk splutters and falls back on his seat. Taehyung smiles realizing his
state and like the cute demon he is, pushes Jimin over Yoongi, whom decided two
minutes before that the bed was the best spot for him —and that he didn't care
that the couple buttons of the piece of clothing he's wearing had unbuttoned
somehow.
 
Jimin smiles lifting his upper body with his arms stretched, Yoongi under him
with a scowl purses his lips, "You're always such a pervert"
 
Jimin whines, "You're the one that likes to spread his legs every time you're
on land" Jeongguk is close to having a seizure on his fluffy divan.
 
Taehyung throws himself next to them and Jimin promptly lies as well, Yoongi in
the middle has the peace of mind to fix the shirt close. "I like this, I want
to take a nap" his eyes find Jeongguk's. "Can you make us something to eat
again, Kookie" he licks his lips.
 
"S—Sure"
 
And while Jeongguk goes to the kitchen, one of his satellite phones buzzes.
Yoongi has seen those before so he grabs him from under one pillow, touches red
and throws it aside. They eat later kimchi rice and fried chicken, the three
mermen thanking their host with pleased expressions. 
 
Jeongguk watches them leave some time later, Yoongi leaving the jewelry he had
before and going with one of Jeongguk's favorites black chocker, the one with
the pink little diamond he won Namjoon in a bet. Because when Yoongi gets bored
of things he is good in moving on. 
 
(Jeongguk would denied if asked how much he ogled at Jimin's butt meanwhile)
 
 
 
It’s only one hour later that he catches sight of his phone and faintly hears
it, he doesn't remember when he lowered the ringtone’s volume. "Hello?"
 
"You son of—" Namjoon screams then controls himself, Jeongguk can't see but
there are a couple of kids close to him. "Okay. I give you 10 minutes to pick
me up or else I am definitely going to kick your ass straight to the fucking
Antarctic"
 
"Excuse me?"
 
"I have been waiting and calling for you for the past four hours stuck in this
so called little airport"
 
"...shit"
 
"Don't tell me. You were busy doing what exactly? Talking to coconuts or
footballs?"
 
Jeongguk sighs, rubbing the bridge of his nose.  "I'm on my way" he could take
the boat.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
"Why are you here again? 'Cause I'm pretty sure I didn't invite you" Jeongguk
speaks shutting down the helicopter once inside the hangar.
 
"You damn brat. I'm on vacations" Namjoon pulls his two suitcases out. Jeongguk
has the decency to help him with the third. 
 
"Gosh, chill. I already said I'm sorry"
 
"Four freaking hours"
 
Jeongguk waves him off dismissively, "I was busy in the company of three
gorgeous mermen so honestly I don't really care that much"
 
Namjoon stares hard, rolls his eyes and follows him inside the main house.
 
 
Thirty minutes later Namjoon tilts his head with the suspicion of Jeongguk's
sanity being on jeopardy already.
 
 
"Don't fuck with me Jeongguk. I'm not in the mood now, it was so hot there and
I have a headache. You know, since four fucking hours ago"
 
"Don't be such a drama queen, that's Hoseok. Besides, I'm not fucking with you.
Ew. But I do have three mermen" he nods and places a glass of water and a pill
in front of his friend.
 
"I knew it, the solitude and your weird habits finally got to you" he swallows
the pill and gulps the entire glass, "I'll just call Seokjin to tell him to
prepare everything in the mental clinic, don't worry you'll receive the best
treatment"
 
Jeongguk stares unblinkingly and sighs, what habits? "I don't know them for so
long but I could bet they're going to be back by evening or early morning"
 
"You're in so deep already. Where's the phone?"
 
"I'm gonna take a nap and for your information, I'm too smart to go crazy"
 
"Well, history has shown us that—"
 
"Ah, ah!" Jeongguk waves his hands and slouches down on the large red chaise
longue close to the glass window, he remembers Taehyung mentioning it has the
best view towards the beach.
 
And he is serious about nap time.
 
 
 
Namjoon changes his shirt, leaves his sandals and decides to take a walk
outside feeling better about the weather. Unlike in the other island, here he
could feel just a fresh breeze. He arrives into the other house, smaller and
less equipped. He finds a couple towels ready to go for a swim.
 
With the water just a couple meters away, he takes off his shirt throwing it
with the towels on a lounge chair with a big red umbrella over it.
 
And just as he turns around he sees movements in the pier next to Jeongguk's
yacht. He narrows his eyes and just a couple seconds later he almost falls on
his ass out of pure astonishment when he spots a blonde naked boy getting out
the inside cabin with clothes in his arms. "What the hell?"
 
Namjoon walks closer and to his horror there are two more persons standing
aside equally naked. Each boy takes a piece of clothing and puts it on walking
then towards the beach —and Namjoon's direction. 
 
"Who are you?" They look startled for a moment hearing him then one of them
takes another step closer, narrowing his eyes.
 
"Wah! You're one of Kookie's friends, right?"
 
"Kookie?"
 
"Jeongguk" the redhead one says and fuck, is he gorgeous. Namjoon would totally
try to hit on him if the situation was different.
 
"What's your name?" The blonde asks.
 
"So, you know Jeongguk? Are you locals? Where did you come from?"
 
"Yeah, I'm Taehyung" he smiles, "This is Jimin" Shorty raven waves his hands
enthusiastically, "And this is Yoongi" And fuck, Namjoon is already lost in
those unreal eyes piercing through him.
 
"Let's go already, we need to tell Jeongguk" Yoongi reminds them.
 
"Oh, yeah!"
 
"...he's taking a nap" Namjoon says and feels a little idiotic, "What do you
want to say to him?"
 
Taehyung shrugs, "A storm is coming tonight"
 
"Kookie said the houses and yatch are safe but—" Jimin trails off.
 
"He needs to check or something, right?" Yoongi finishes. 
 
Namjoon is aware of all the superstructures built in there, "Yeah"
 
"If Kookie is sleeping you can do it, yes?" Jimin closes his hands around
Taehyung's and Yoongi's. Namjoon nods again, "Well, we're going to stay here
since it would be annoying out there" and just like that they're heading past
him uphill.
 
Namjoon secures the yacht, the beach house putting all the chairs inside,
having a hard time dragging all the lanterns Seokjin is so fond on for some
flamboyant reason and once he's done, he hears the first thunder.
 
He's tired once he's back at the main house and sad because he couldn't go
swimming in the beautiful clear water. He gets another shock to his poor heart
so far when he catches Jeongguk peacefully sleeping still but with the addition
of— What was it? Jimin? Yes, Jimin between his arms. The other two are already
on the bed with a chocolate box open and one of Jeongguk's tablets.
 
Namjoon still feels a little idiotic. Who are these, honestly, beautiful boys?
And why Jeon Jeongguk always gets to have the good stuff in this world? Life's
no fair. He secures the doors and windows and to the three boys’ surprise, he
closes completely the entire sea pool inside the house. "In case the water
overflow" he feels suddenly the need to explain. 
 
"But—" Taehyung starts but Yoongi cuts him.
 
"Can you fill the bathtub with sea water first? The storm hasn't started yet.
 
"What? Why?"
 
"Can you?"
 
Those unreal eyes are staring hard at him so Namjoon looks quickly a way to do
just that. 
 
 
 
Jeongguk wakes up with a warm body pressed to his. A smile crawls to his face.
Then a loud thunder is heard. He opens his eyes and Jimin presses himself even
closer to him. 
 
"I don't like storms" Jimin whispers softly.
 
When Jeongguk sits up, Jimin still in his arms, he sees Namjoon closing the
metal door. Jeongguk's mind runs quickly thinking back in all the measures he
took in case of storms and so. "Did you—"
 
"Yes, I closed the roof above the helicopter and everything else" Namjoon plots
himself down in the white settee, "And here I thought I was going to have a
lovely day in a private beach in a private island"
 
"The storm isn't going to last long" Taehyung speaks, "There are not really
that many around here that's why Jimin likes it here most of the time" he
crawls under a cover.
 
Jeongguk lifts Jimin taking him to the bed, "But I wanna cuddle with you"
 
"I just going to make supper" he kisses his cheek, "You guys are going to be
hungry again soon, right?"
 
"Is that the necklace you stole from me?" Namjoon tilts his head watching
Yoongi.
 
"Why do you keep staring at me?" Yoongi snuggles against Taehyung.
 
Jeongguk rolls his eyes, "I fairly won it. Get over it"
 
Namjoon lifts his hands, "Okay" he looks back at Yoongi, "I'm staring at you
all" he wants to believe he's an honest man, "I mean you all look— you all are
pretty"
 
Taehyung cups Yoongi's tiny hand between his own, "Yeah, we get that a lot.
Sailors are always easy to attract, once they see us they don't care if we are
girls or boys"
 
Hum? Namjoon furrows his brow and follows Jeongguk. The three boys getting
together and giggling at whatever they are now watching in the tablet, mouths
filled with bonbons.
 
"Care to explain how did you hit jackpot with those three?"
 
Jeongguk thinks in maybe pizza this time for dinner, he opens the fridge, "I
already told you"
 
"Told me what?"
 
"Those three are my three gorgeous mermen"
 
Namjoon sighs deeply, "Okay, this situation is worse than what I thought. I'm
getting real worry now" he stops the younger with two hands on his shoulders,
"Mermen don't exist Jeongguk" he says slowly, "the three boys in your bed, you
fucking lucky bastard, are just three local pleasantly good looking boys" he
breaths, "No mermen"
 
"Right" Jeongguk moves aside and starts the preparations.
 
 
 
"Kookie that smells so good" Taehyung has left the bed in order to trail behind
him on the kitchen like a little kid.
 
"You need to wait just five more minutes and stop eating chocolates, okay?"
 
"Okay"
 
Namjoon has finished with the white sofa, extending it to make it his temporary
bedstead while he's there, he rearranges a bamboo wall to separate the view
from Jeongguk's bedroom space at the other side.
 
They all take a seat on the table while Jeongguk fills each porcelain plate
with a piece to start.
-
"Where exactly are you kids from?" Namjoon takes a bite.
 
"Who are you calling kid?" Yoongi chews slowly.
 
"How old are you then?"
 
"I'm 21"
 
"Well, I'm 30 so I'm your hyung and you are a kid"
 
"I'm nineteen" Taehyung has already less than a half and he's eyeing his second
piece, "Jimin is our baby"
 
And that's the moment when Jeongguk coughs loudly and thinks the cheese in his
mouth went on the wrong pipe because what's younger than nineteen? He passes
the coke and drinks water turning to Jimin. 
 
Said boy is grinning with his whole face, "I'm going to turn eighteen soon"
 
And Jeongguk almost chokes on his spit this time.
 
Namjoon's eyes go wide switching from his friend to the brunette, "...please
tell me you didn't kidnapped him or something. And you, don't you think your
parents should be worrying right now for you?" is already raining outside.
 
Jimin shakes his head, "None of us knows our parents. We don't born the way
humans do"
 
"...What?"
 
Jeongguk is mentally considering that since Jimin isn't technically a human,
the law doesn't really apply at the situation then. So he's not going to jail.
Nope. "Told you" he gives Taehyung another piece, "They're mermen"
 
"Well, that's not really our—" Yoongi purses his lips shaking his head,
"Anyway, back to the important. I'm not a kid"
 
So they all cooperating with Jeongguk in the mermen prank, Namjoon thinks. He
decides the best is to ignore them.
 
 
Until he just can't.
 
 
One hour later, "It's getting hot" Taehyung says (Namjoon briefly wonders at
this if he's getting a fever because he adjusted the AC himself and is cold)
Yoongi and Jimin instantly agree with the blonde, Jeongguk settles to the show
and is thankful for the super huge bathtub he decided to get since the three
can get inside easily and comfy.
 
Namjoon's is watching curiously, lowering his book into his lap.
 
As soon as the sea water, that Namjoon had to fill, touches the skin of their
feet, their tails start forming again. To Jeongguk is already a normal process
though he notices that is rather a little slower than before.
 
On the other hand, Namjoon watches in awe at first. Then when Jimin giggles and
splashes water on Yoongi with a flick of his tail he turns slowly towards
Jeongguk. "Are you fucking with me?"
 
"Again. Ew. Again. I already told you"
 
Namjoon leans his head back. "Oh my god. Whatever happened to you is happening
to me. I'm going crazy. This is the island. Oh my god" and when Namjoon peers
at the tub, he is met with pure skin and some parts of the big colorful tails
the water doesn't cover completely. The t-shirts on the ground.
 
Namjoon stays on his spot for the next twenty-one minutes before the b—
supposed mermen, seems content enough to get out. Jeongguk by their side
helping them each and giving them towels to dry. Not much later they are back
into clean shirts because that's the only thing they apparently wear. 
 
"I feel..."
 
"You're staring, again" Yoongi says.
 
"I'm staring at you all"
 
"You might watch us, Jimin and I, but you are only staring at Yoongi." Taehyung
takes a seat in the armrest of the couch next to him. 
 
Namjoon shakes his head stubbornly and turns to Taehyung, his eyes traveling up
and down his form. "How did you do that?"
 
"Ehm, as soon as we are out of the water, it happens"
 
"What? No. I mean—"
 
"Jeongguk took it better than him, right?" Yoongi nudges Jimin's shoulder. Both
back in the bed.
 
"I think Jeonggukie was hornier for us than worry about our nature" Jeongguk
yells indignantly at that. "Don't worry, Kookie. I like you too"
 
 
 
 
"I'm sleepy" Jimin pouts in Jeongguk's direction.
 
Jeongguk didn't make his house exactly to be having guests and much less that
many but he notes quickly that in the makeshift bed that is the white sofa at
the other side can fit two and on his huge bed can fit all but he's thinking
differently. "Namjoon you going sleep there?" he points and his friend nods,
"Okay. Guess it will be us four here" he sits down and Jimin hugs him from
behind.
 
Namjoon cocks up an eyebrow, humming suspiciously, "How convenient would that
be for you, pervert" Jeongguk brings a hand towards his chest indignantly. "Why
can't two of them take this bed, I can take the hammock and now that I remember
you were quite comfortable in the red divan earlier"
 
"Wah, you’re killing the fun Joonie" Taehyung whines, "Jeonggukie, you should
have brought a more funny friend"
 
"Excuse me?" Namjoon stands. "And what you mean Joonie?" Namjoon is already
tagging them as little brats in his head. Of course if they're Jeongguk's
mermen they would be like this. Geez. He's tagging them as Jeongguk's too.
 
 
 
Close to midnight they're all sleeping soundly. Jeongguk and Jimin in his bed.
Yoongi in the second bed, Taehyung is his favorite red sofa and Namjoon in the
hammock. Staring hard at the redhead less than ten feet away. "I'm only staring
because he's a freaking merman, that's it. It's just an incredible situation
that's it" he murmurs under his breath.
 
There's nothing more to it, he keeps repeating in his head. It's obvious that
Yoongi is gorgeous, as the other two, so is understandable that he watches
since beautifulness always attracts the eye. 
 
He wants to text Seokjin, and maybe Hoseok but if Jeongguk hasn't say anything
then why should he? Maybe is a secret for the time being. He shifts and the
cover he has falls. He stands to pick it up and take a quick visit to the
bathroom. When he comes back, he instantly notices that Yoongi isn't in bed
anymore. He searches the place and catches the sight of light coming from the
kitchen.
 
Yoongi is drinking water and trying to decide between chocolate and vanilla
pudding. "Couldn't sleep?"
 
The redhead doesn't even look startled, "I'm not that used to be out of the
sea" he takes the chocolate one and Namjoon follows him without thinking.
 
Yoongi places the treat in the ceramic edge and aware of the human presence he
undoes the shirt and gets inside the tub again, his tail coming out in less
than thirty seconds.
 
"You know is actually possible to not get your tail back if you spend too much
time out? It's that or you simply die" he takes the spoon and a mouthful of the
sweet.
 
Namjoon sits at the edge not really being subtle about his eyes momentarily
looking down, "Are you afraid of that?"
 
Yoongi seems to think about it for a bit, "Not really. Life is how it is" his
icy eyes focus on the taller male. "What's your story, sailor?"
 
"Well, first I'm not a sailor" he smiles, "And my life is pretty boring
according to Hoseok but that just because he hasn't have a shift in the ER. I'm
a doctor"
 
"Doctor? Those are the ones that fix people that get hurt, right?"
 
Namjoon nods, "I'm neurosurgeon. I fix people's heads" he chuckles. "And what
do you guys do out there?"
 
"We have a simple life" Yoongi shrugs, "We lure sailors into follow us and then
we just drag them down into the darkest part of the ocean" he smiles lopsided
at Namjoon's expression at this, "We only drag those with dark hearts and
minds, if that makes you feel any better" he leans his head back, "Our kind has
done it for centuries"
 
Namjoon hums unsure, "Right" he can hold Yoongi's gaze anymore so his eyes fall
down, that equally icy blue colored tail sparkling under the water. "So what?
Did you just decided on a whim to befriend Jeongguk" Friendship, right.
 
Yoongi shrugs, "I only came here because Jimin wouldn't shut about the human he
met living in one of his favorite island" he takes another mouthful of the 
pudding, "And Taehyung said he was really hot hence why Jimin was all excited"
 
"So you were curious" Yoongi nods, "Curiosity satisfied?"
 
"Not yet, I still don't know you enough"
 
"I got your attention now? Should I feel honored?"
 
"Yeah, fucking lucky"
 
Namjoon laughs and splashes a few drops at Yoongi's general direction. The
merman complains and splashes back, secretly enjoying.
 
 
Yoongi walks back to his sleeping spot dragging Namjoon by the hand and dressed
this time in the T-shirt Namjoon was wearing just minutes before. Namjoon has
no objections when he asked for it.
 
"Sleep with me" Yoongi says and Namjoon doesn't find a single excuse to
decline. He lets the redhead cuddle against his chest and soon enough he's
walking into dreamland, Yoongi's fresh and sweet scent feeling his lungs. 
 
 
                                        
 
 
 
 
When the morning comes, Taehyung has his limbs tangled along Jeongguk's and
Jimin's in the bed. Sometime in the night he have wandered into the bed looking
for the comfort and warm of bodies in there, the only warm he likes against his
own.
 
The mermen leave to the sea a little later, promising, as always, to come back
soon.
 
And for the rest of the day Jeongguk enjoys teasing his hyung about the little
kiss on the cheek Yoongi gave him before disappearing under the water.
 
Namjoon finally gets his lovely day in the private beach and in order to earn
his forgiveness Jeongguk plays the role of a nice host even giving him a nice
ride in his luxurious yacht around the island.
 
The night falls on them there, Namjoon taking another shot from the ones
Jeongguk made before his facade of good host broke, and decided to just lay
down on the deck to watch stars because "You can only really see them in open
spaces like this without all those artificial lights of the city"
 
Namjoon isn't drunk or tipsy, it would take a lot for that. Resistance built
over the years. So he knows that he isn't imagining when his eyes catch
something swimming around the yacht. The water pacific but dark at this time.
 
He presses the black button close to the edge that Jeongguk showed him, and the
platform to the staircase opens just as he does the little metal door. He waits
and is not even a minute later when he sees red and then pale skin followed by
the light blue of a tail. He reaches down and against Yoongi's wishes, he helps
him up into the yacht. Jeongguk glances at their way but says nothing.
 
Namjoon carries him into the cabin and when he lets him down on the bed,
Yoongi's tail has gone. "Are you going to just watch me peasant or are you
going to give me some clothes?"
 
"Anything else, your majesty?"
 
Yoongi cocks an eyebrow, "Give me food" Namjoon nods and hands him a silky
white robe.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Jeongguk clicks his tongue and throwing his shirt aside, he jumps into the
water. He stays there, floating and glancing around till something brushes his
calves. He immediately looks down but is futile, then just as he's about to
turn around, arms wrap around his neck from behind.
 
"Hi, Kookie!" Jimin's voice travels like melody to his ears. "Missed me?"
 
Jeongguk grips one of his arms and turns, "Why would I?" he was just minutes
before thinking on those gorgeous plush lips that he quickly catches with his
own in a kiss.
 
Jimin giggles in the kiss, "Because I'm cute?" he pecks him softly.
 
"Hmm, maybe"
 
"You wanna swim with me?"
 
"It's dark"
 
"There's nothing dangerous around, promise"
 
"Only you" Jeongguk leans and gnaws on his lower lip. Jimin agrees. "You wanna
drag me down?"
 
"Of course not, Kookie" he whisper his next words, "I like you a lot to do
that"
 
"How much?"
 
 
 
 
 
***** even in the deepest sea or the driest land, let me keep you safe *****
Chapter Summary
     Taehyung calls him lover, Yoongi calls him a condition, Jimin calls
     him Kookie
 
How much Jimin likes Jeongguk? Well, Jimin really likes Jeongguk a lot since
the first time he met him, even from afar Jimin thought he was a very handsome
man with eyes that could tell a story just with one look. And after meeting him
personally and spent all those days with him, Jimin could feel his heart race
every time Jeongguk did as much as look as his way. It didn't help in tone down
his rising feelings the fact that Jeongguk found pleasure in pamper him and
making him smile just because.
 
 
How much Jeongguk likes Jimin? Fuck, it doesn't even feel real. It is too good
to be real. Jimin is gorgeous, funny, smart and the cutest guy with the perfect
high and frame to fit in between Jeongguk's arms and under his chin. His voice
makes Jeongguk feel at ease, his touch makes goose bumps run through his skin,
his eyes looking at his own make him feel tiny yet the biggest man. Jimin has
an effect on him that scares him but doesn't make him want to put on any
defensive wall around his lonely heart.
 
 
 
 
Jeongguk takes the beautiful merman into the yacht, both finding comfort
lounging down in the towel Jeongguk was before. Jimin's tail disappears rather
quickly. "I like watching the stars" Jimin says, "They're pretty"
 
"I like them too but I find you even prettier" Jimin giggles, Jeongguk has his
head resting in the hand on his curved arm, looking down at the boy. With his
free hand he pushes aside some strands of hair out of Jimin's eyes, the merman
looking at him. "You know what else I like?
 
"Wha—" Jimin doesn't finish his question when the other is already kissing him.
Softly, deeply, cupping his face.
 
Jeongguk takes him slowly and passionately over the deck, forgetting the other
two presences in there but neither Yoongi nor Namjoon come out.
 
 
 
By morning, Jeongguk wakes up in the second room, Jimin gently running his tiny
fingers through his hair, "Hey babe" he mumbles turning on his back and
bringing the boy onto his chest. Jimin laughs complaining about tickles when
Jeongguk buries his face in his neck the action bringing Jimin up his body,
legs straddling him.
 
Namjoon knocks on the door a couple times before open it, "Hey lover boys, is
already 9am" Jimin brings the duvet up to cover more of his nakedness, "Don't
you have a conference call at eleven" Jeongguk grumbles and keeps Jimin in his
embrace. "Whatever, Yoongi left earlier" He ogles at Jimin, "He was in a hurry
to get in the water, aren't you as well?"
 
Jimin shakes his head but untangles himself from Jeongguk once Namjoon closes
the door, "I should leave too, Taehyung is probably waiting for me. Don't pout,
Kookie!" the elder grunts and kisses him once more.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
There is an entire world under the surface that the two mermen enjoy exploring
and there are caves and tunnels under the island that both of them soon find
out are connected to the waterfall in the south part, not too far from
Jeongguk's Main house.
 
They could have walked in land to Jeongguk's but decided to just swim back into
the sea in case Yoongi was around, which isn't that case, Yoongi is probably
already lost to wherever is that he goes sometimes,  what they don't see coming
is that the same shark that chased them weeks before is back. They can
distinguish all marine creatures as easily as for a human to set others aside.
 
And because they are taken by surprise, at least Jimin, they aren't fast enough
this time.
 
This all leads Taehyung to his current situation of running between the thick
vegetation, paying no mind to the little cuts branches are making to his sun
kissed skin or how much one of his bare feet is hurting. He just runs as fast
as he is able to get the help they need thinking back at his friend, hurt and
trapped with only water surrounding him along the big shark that apparently is
really stuck with the idea of eating them. They can't really talk to it but
they see the need of blood in the dark eyes of the animal.
 
Taehyung arrives at the main house that is the closest, Namjoon spots him first
and hurries to give him a towel but when he takes a better look he almost
shrieks in horror at the boy's state.
 
Jeongguk, who is going through some files in his laptop, gets startled by the
sudden noise going to where they are to see what's disturbing his peace, his
eyes widen at the sight of Taehyung's scrapped body. "Oh my god, what
happened?" He helps Namjoon getting the blonde into the couch.
 
Taehyung has shallow cuts in his arms legs and hips due the running and a two
inches cut in his right foot sole. He explains the situation stumbling in his
words and sobbing, "–You need to hurry!" He pushes at Jeongguk's chest, "Jimin
needs your help" His Jimin, whom has been his friend for almost all his life.
 
Jeongguk takes a deep breath, "Okay, but Tae. I need you to tell me exactly
where Jimin is. Tell me how I get there"
 
Namjoon stays silent and proceeds to clean the small wounds aware of Jeongguk's
movements around.
 
Jeongguk opens one of the locked rooms and when he emerges a minute later,
Taehyung coils on himself with a gasp when he sees the handgun he's now
carrying.
 
Namjoon notices his sudden tension, "Hey, look at me. Something else happened?"
he asks in a gentle voice, Jeongguk looks puzzled for a moment but his mind
quickly reminds him of the important at the moment, Jimin, so he is out of the
door the next second.
 
 
A couple minutes after Jeongguk's leave, Namjoon offers him a glass of water
with a couple antibiotics to numb the pain and calm him down, "Take it, and
don’t worry. Jimin is going to be fine. Jeongguk is going to bring him soon"
 
Taehyung relaxes a bit by his words and the medicine kicking in. Namjoon lets
him cuddle in his lap, he explains the man then, "It was a couple years ago
when Jimin was younger, like a child" They aren't really far in age but
Taehyung has always seen Jimin as his baby, someone who needs to be taken care
of.
 
Namjoon offers him a little smile and he continues.
 
He tells how that time a sailor once tried to shoot him and Yoongi when they
were helping Jimin, who have got caught in a net, to get out. The hideous man
wanted Jimin along all the other fishes he was there to catch and if he
couldn't catch the other two as well then he'd had to settle "He was really
bad, Joonie. So we had to"
 
"You had to do what?
 
They teamed up later, after Yoongi finally could use his claws to rip the net
and freed Jimin, him and Yoongi. When the night arrived giving them the upper
hand with only darkness around, they both got into the fishing boat and threw
the nasty human out of it to then drag him into the deepest part of the ocean
for his head to explode.
 
There are lots of legends about mer people, the pretty ones you tell your
children and the creepy ones you tell to scare, some of them are actually true.
 
Namjoon stares at Taehyung's eyes, always expressive and showing kindness,
playful and determinate, he wouldn't be able to point out if the boy has even
one bad bone in himself to do something awful, he understands the reason he
gave him, not necessarily approving it but he understands so he can only just
nod, caressing Taehyung's back in soothing motions. "Sshh, it'll be okay"
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Jeongguk remembers every word Taehyung told him of how to find the place, he
has walked around before so he knows exactly where to go.
 
It doesn't take him to long to go cross the curtain of water falling, being met
right away with a rocky path that goes slightly down, there are a bunch of
water pools around, he can say if they are superficial or deep, he keeps moving
but once he is further in, his ears catch soon Jimin's tiny whimpers.
 
He doesn't immediately run because he knows it would be stupid on his part to
do it in the slippery surface, he tries to move quickly though till Jimin is
finally in his line of vision.
 
A gasp escaped his mouth when he sees the boy. Jimin is laying on his side,
curled body shaking, bleeding thigh and tears running down his rosy cheeks. He
wants to reach for him to keep him safe and stops all those tears. Jimin's face
isn't one to be tainted by pain if Jeongguk can help it.
 
"No!" Jimin yells when Jeongguk all but goes to throw himself in the water to
reach for him. Only then Jeongguk is aware of the shark swimming around,
Taehyung warned him.
 
When Jimin sees the black gun in his hands he lifts his eyes to find
Jeongguk's, he looks like one of those loyal sailors in a mission. Jimin covers
his ears and closes his eyes, head hanging down, he counts his breaths till the
loud noises resonate in the cave's walls.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Jeongguk enters through the backdoors of the house with Jimin in his arms
wearing the shirt he had before unbuttoned. Namjoon is already waiting with the
first aid kit open and other supplies Jeongguk luckily has there as well –items
that Namjoon himself gave him in case of an emergency for more exaggerated he
was that time.
 
It's luckily nothing major, like Hospital proportions. Namjoon cleans the wound
which is not deep and sutures a sobbing Jimin who clings with one hand at
Jeongguk and the other laced with Taehyung's, Namjoon gave him something for
the pain but the visual of being sew up is enough to for Jimin.
 
Namjoon promises that the five centimeters scar is going to be thin and isn't
going to be that visible so he shouldn't worry about that or any infection,
Namjoon isn't sure at all about mer people's anatomy but since he sees many
similarities he's going to assume.
 
Jeongguk carries Jimin to the bed, "You're my hero now" says with flushed
cheeks, eyes still red but with a tiny smile creeping his mouth, Jeongguk has
washed him and thrown a long t-shirt over his tiny form.
 
"Kinda" Jeongguk drops a quick peck on his nose, "Not really" he brings him
down on the mattress, soft sheets coming in contact with his skin, "Let me
pamper you now, okay? You had a rough day"
 
"A shark bit me"
 
Jeongguk sighs, "Let’s just try not to think about it" he slips next to him,
running his fingers through his silky hair.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Jimin insists in helping him with dinner –lunch forgotten with all the chaos
–what happens though, is him not being able to stand for too long, Jeongguk
ends up carrying him to a high chair placed in the middle of the kitchen where
he can see everything and converse with him.
 
And just then, with the rice and salad ready and meat still frying Jeongguk
cleaning his cheek after some gravy has landed there, he realizes that Jimin
hasn't touch sea water in almost 10 hours when his limit seemed to be just a
couple hours or 5 at most.
 
Jeongguk realizes that, at night, clock pointing 19:37.
 
(During the entirety of the day, he knows Taehyung has gone into the water
three times to refresh himself –cuddling with Jimin before each– and after
sunset he has stayed in the water, with only his feet and head above the
surface, watching the TV from there while Namjoon out of his kindness feed him)
 
Jimin's perfect pink lips form an o when Jeongguk mentions it.
 
When he brings it up to Taehyung, he says that maybe Jimin is getting used to
be in land, "I don't know" it isn't happening to him since he still feels the
need to be under water.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Yoongi shows up finally after been disappeared for three days, Taehyung being
the little gossip he likes to be quickly tells him everything that has happened
and Yoongi with all the composure only he can possess asks Jimin to go into the
water, "We need to check it"
 
"Check what?"
 
"Just do it"
 
Jimin agrees and Namjoon tells him to just sit on the edge for the sutures to
not get damaged, his wound still sensitive.
 
Jimin does, and when other times his tail has taken thirty seconds or so to
appear, this time Jeongguk counts over 2 minutes in his head. Jimin, with
Yoongi by his side, still see his two pale legs dangling from his position at
least till Jeongguk's time count reaches 3 minutes and finally Jimin's colorful
tail slowly morphs.
 
(Namjoon groans when the bandage falls, he didn't though really about the
shifting)
 
"I think you're getting attached to land" Yoongi says.
 
Jimin stills looks down at his colorful shining tail.
 
"You mean he is falling in love with Jeongguk" Taehyung adds because he has
heard stories.
 
Jeongguk is pretty sure the heat crawled up his face is due to an intense flush
coloring it. Jimin, on his part, has his eye open wide, same shade of red even
going down his neck.
 
Yoongi shrugs, "If that's the case, is better that he loses his tail instead of
his life" comment that makes a shiver run down Jimin's back, Jeongguk and
Namjoon not understanding.
 
Jimin calls for Jeongguk to lift him up, one arm under his back and the other
under his tail, when he sits down in the divan the tail disappears.
 
Jimin buries his face in his chest, Jeongguk wrapping his arms around his
waist, "Don't worry baby, everything is gonna be okay"

Chapter Notes
     romantic Jikook <3 previous chapters were edited for typos n grammar
     (I probably still missed something so I’ll do a second revision
     later)
 
It’s been almost a month since all started.
A very pleasant month if you ask Jeon Jeongguk.
Taehyung has being saying lately how close the stars for Jimin’s birthday are
coming which Jeongguk doesn’t understand at all but follows since he wants to
make Jimin’s special day more special if he can now that he knows.
And he will. Somehow. He hasn’t really thought about it through.
Taehyung and Yoongi borrow one of his laptops to use the internet and search
how to make a birthday party on land –the typed it just like that, to his
amusement. It’s cute, even if Yoongi is partially just indulging Taehyung by
cooperating a little.
Taehyung finds things around the place that he seems fit for decoration, that’s
step number one. He tasks Yoongi with the Big Cake, step two along with music,
step three.
“And what else are you guys going to do?” Yoongi mumbles.
“I need to keep Jiminie out of here. It’s a surprise, you know?”
Yoongi cocks an eyebrow, “He already-”
“Nope!” Taehyung waves his hands, “I trust you, bye”
Jeongguk lowers the magazine in his hand, “…I can help you”
Yoongi turns to him, “Then make the cake or whatever” and he leaves as well,
Jeongguk assumes is for the beach house that’s where Taehyung put the
decorations -and where he thinks Namjoon is.  
 
 
Later that night, Jimin has his first birthday party in land.
“Happy Birthday, baby” Jeongguk finally says after Taehyung has gotten tired of
squeezing Jimin against Yoongi.
“Thanks, Kookie” He throws his arms around the taller’s shoulders, “I didn’t
know parties on land could be so fun” Jeongguk holds him steady when the
younger stops supporting himself on his legs.
“Want another drink?”
Jimin’s eyes sparkle, “Yes!” he has found a new liking in the first Jeongguk
made him, “Like the pink one, I don’t remember the name” he scrunches his nose
cutely.
“Whatever you want, baby”
And they indeed have fun, dancing, eating the cake that turned out to be quite
tasty and drinking some more of course. Namjoon gets a little worried at first
at Jeongguk’s idea to give the boys alcohol but they take it well.
–Until they’re not taking well.
Jeongguk gets Jimin drunk enough to have him giggling and clinging to him while
Taehyung promptly passes out giving Namjoon a tiny heart attack until he checks
he’s fine, just drunk out of his mind. Yoongi on his part has been quiet but
the teasing smile on his face is all Namjoon needs to understand that maybe he
should take him out of there and have some alone time to themselves –he still
swears he’s the good guy here.
 
Jeongguk carries Jimin back into the main house though Jimin doesn’t want to go
inside just yet so he takes him to the back, placing a towel over the green
grass because Jimin wants to watch the sky.
“Look Kookie, they’re so pretty” Jimin points at the general direction of
above. Jeongguk keeps his gaze on his face though. “Yah, Kookie! Don’t look at
me like that!” his voice is high pitchy.
It’s fucking adorable to Jeongguk how Jimin tries to shy away. “Come here” he
catches his wrist in a gentle grip bringing him closer to his himself. “Did you
enjoy the cake?”
“Yeah, it was really yummy” Jimin says enthusiastically, words a little
slurred, burying his face on his broad chest.
“Good. I spent the entire afternoon in that with absolutely no help from anyone
else but that internet tutorial” Jimin is about to say something but Jeongguk
is quick to kiss him shut. “I’m happy for you” Jimin beams, eyes shining darker
than before, for a second Jeongguk thinks they’re brown.
They stay there for a little longer, cuddling and kissing, basking in each
other presences till Jeongguk carries a sleeping Jimin back inside. 
 
 
Paradise isn’t gonna last forever.
So a Wednesday morning Jeongguk finally acknowledges that he has business to
attend in person back in Seoul. But leaving Jimin behind doesn’t seem like an
option at the time being so he grabs the younger to tell him the news and to
selfishly hope Jimin says exactly what he wants to hear.
 
“Can I go?” Jimin asks, eyes open wide along the cutest pout, catching Jeongguk
off-guard but pleasing him completely still…
“You don’t have to leave this place if it-”
“But I want to go! I want to see where you come from!”
Jeongguk smiles, patting his lap for Jimin to crawl up to “Okay”
 
They have to test it first however. It’s a long way to Seoul and Jimin is not
gonna be able to be in touch with sea water too often. For their little
experiment Jimin spends three days in land without getting one single drop of
salty water in himself, Jeongguk notes that regular water does not affect him
to shift but Jimin says it’s a little soothing. He seems fine by the end of the
third day, Jeongguk notices as well that his eyes indeed look darker than usual
so it wasn’t his imagination before, he still doesn’t comment on it. If
something was wrong then Jimin would tell him.
Taehyung is curious at first about the big city but refuses to leave his
precious sea behind; Yoongi only tells them to be careful out there. Jeongguk
promises, more for himself than because the dead grip both mermen have on his
arms, that he’ll always keep Jimin safe no matter what.
 
                                      ***
 
On D-day Jeongguk takes Jimin with him back to Seoul, Namjoon stays in the
island, no complains on his part and with the company of two beautiful mermen.
It's not that hard to get Jimin and ID and a passport with the right amount of
money and Jimin knows enough about things in general to pass out as just
another normal person though Jeongguk can catch the blue and golden sparks in
his eyes with every new item he sees. Of course, for Jimin, everything is
different and exciting since the moment he took him in the helicopter, the
airport, the airplane and now the city.
 
The first Jeongguk does once they land is buy him a set of clothes that fit him
better that the ones he got with the locals of the island still he stops in a
couple more stores on the way to his loft to get more and to show Jimin around.
And surely, Jimin likes it “But–”he pauses, “I think the air back in the ocean
is way better”
Jeongguk totally agrees. “Yeah, less contaminate and so” the elevator finally
opens, “Come here” Jimin follows him looking around the compact metal box, the
doors closing.
“What i–” Jimin gasps and clings to his arm, one of the bags falling from his
grip.
“You’ll get used to it” Jeongguk chuckles closing his arm around the younger’s
waist.
 
 
They meet Seokjin and Hoseok eventually, despite Jeongguk’s initial reluctance
–Jimin asks him why his phone doesn’t stop ringing with their incessant whiny
messages to meet up since he’s finally there.
While they’re eating in this fancy place Seokjin wanted to go, Hoseok cooing
every time he can at how cute and precious Jimin is and asking how the hell a
dork like Jeongguk got so freaking lucky, at the conversation also comes the
question of where is the younger from, so conversationally Jimin says he comes
from sea foam, falling stars and wishes sohe's a merman but apparently since he
has fallen in love with Jeongguk he has been able to stay for longer periods of
time out of the water. So.
The obvious reaction to that evidently is of Seokjin and Hoseok thinking first
that the poor gorgeous boy might be a little bit crazy –that’s why he’s with
Jeongguk, Hoseok reasons. Jeongguk smacks him for the comment and follows up
with a yes, he’s a merman. Jimin is a merman.
(Oh, and Namjoon is staying back in his hermit paradise with two.)
 
Once the dinner is done, Jimin is buying by himself an ice cream cone from a
vendor across the street while Jeongguk watches him standing next to Seokjin
and Hoseok who are dialing Namjoon because.
The doctor only answers at the fourth try to tell them he's too busy to really
talk much.
From what Jeongguk can catch of the short exchange the conversation goes with
Namjoon’s short replays of “Yes, he is merman”, “Yes, there are other two
here”, “No I can't keep talking. Fuck, I'm balls deep in mine– Ouch! Yoongi I
didn't meant it like I own you”, “Shit baby, move like that, yeah” and then
Seokjin hangs up.
Jimin comes back bouncing and showing him his treat, “Look! I could totally
pass as a land person, right?” and he smiles so bright that Jeongguk feels
almost blinded.
Later, when they're sleeping, at least Jeongguk, he’s clinging to Jimin's
frame, Jimin thinks he looks cute like that and the cherry of the cake is when
he starts to sleep talk; mostly saying just nonsenses that Jimin still finds
cute until one of those slurred words makes his heart skip a beat.
 
 
They stay a total of five days and four nights in Seoul.
Jeongguk is kissing Jimin’s cheek when he sees Jimin's eyes again, this time
them being completely brown –he says nothing.
Jimin says bye to the little pet puppy from the family leaving down Jeongguk's
condo before they're going back (“Puppies are so pretty, Jeonggukie”.)Jeongguk
calls some workers and picks up all the supplies he is taking to refill.
Seokjin and Hoseok are waiting with their own luggage in the airport next to
Jeongguk's rented private plane. Jeongguk sighs –he can’t say he didn’t see it
coming.
Yet, he did not make his paradise to have guests.
Only mermen allowed, not annoying friends.
 
                                      ***
 
Hoseok and Seokjin meet Taehyung, beautiful Taehyung, in his whole naked glory
belly down on Jeongguk’s bed eating chips and watching a movie on a tablet.
Taehyung doesn’t pay them too much attention at first, just eyeing them from
afar, he does remember their faces from before but Jeongguk hasn’t really
mention them.
He tells Jeongguk that Namjoon and Yoongi are in the beach house or the yacht
again when asked and takes the shirt Jimin gives him because "They're Kookie's
friends, you need to behave" Hoseok points out at this that he doesn't mind the
view.
 
On the beach, Namjoon is under an umbrella enjoying himself while Yoongi sits
between his legs eating the last ice cream cup from the fridge. Nothing but a
towel around his body and Namjoon's fingers caressing his soft exposed skin.
They newcomers meet Yoongi like that and throughout the course of lunch.
It's half an hour after they’re done that Taehyung and Yoongi go into the
water.
The process goes slow but in less than a minute they are swaying their colorful
tails. Jimin on his part stays seated with the water reaching up his waist and
is not till ten minutes later that the shift finally happens. Jeongguk is by
his side and swims with him a little till Jimin is pouting asking to be held,
Jeongguk carries him out of the water then. Jimin’s tail disappears in a few
seconds.
 
 
It's been a week.
Hoseok and Seokjin are by now enamored with the idea of mermen and doing
everything to get Taehyung's attention since Jimin is obviously Jeongguk's and
that brat has boundaries in everything. And of course, Yoongi only seems to be
willing to talk and entertain Namjoon –and sometimes Jeongguk.
Yoongi points out to Jimin one morning, away from the others, that he doesn't
seem too distressed by his current situation, Jimin tells himit isaffecting him
because all he has known so far is just the sea but now Jeongguk has showed him
so much more.
Jimin leans into him to whisper, “I know Kookie loves me, too”
“And how do you know?”
To this Jimin replays that he has the same hunch that when he first approached
Jeongguk believing him a good sailor. “Besides, he tells me when he's asleep
all the time”
Yoongi snorts.   
 
It’s in that same night with Jimin lying still wide awake, head resting on
Jeongguk's chest that Jimin dares to ask. They have been like that for a while
so he assumes Jeongguk is sound asleep, "Kookie..." Jimin tries and gets no
replay, he giggles poking the older in the ribs, "You love me, right?" he isn’t
really expecting an answer but– Jeongguk mumbles something, the arm around
Jimin’s waist tightening his hold and bringing him closer.
Jeongguk opens his eyes. "…I love you"
 
 
 
***** no more, no more, baby let’s just stay together *****
Chapter Summary
     should he just give up?
                                        
 
“I love you” Jeongguk says again smiling tenderly when Jimin buries his face in
his chest, flushed cheeks and rapid heartbeat. Jeongguk searches his eyes and
says it again. “I love you”
Jimin almost lets a tear roll out his now very brown eye but he’s just too
happy and Jeongguk is kissing him again. He remembers a story a child told them
once about a mermaid princess and his love for a charming land prince. Jimin
can’t help but think he is living his own love fairytale.
And it’s great.
“I love you, too”
Jeongguk considers for a second to point out the new color of his eyes but
forgets about it as soon as Jimin presses their lips together.
“Are you going back to sleep?” Jimin mumbles already climbing on his lap.
“With you like this, babe” Jeongguk runs his hands up his thighs, he wasn’t
even asleep to begin with just enjoying Jimin’s presence by his side. “Want me
to make you feel good?” Jimin nods eagerly, sitting up to takes his oversized
shirt off pleading beautifully.
Jeongguk takes him gently, has the boy writhing under his touch, his mouth, his
body. He doesn’t stop telling him how much he adores him, how pretty his is,
how perfect they are together.  He promises him a forever that Jimin wants and
believes.
 
                                     * * *
 
It has been bothering Yoongi for some time but now the feeling is stronger.
Yoongi knows. He just knows it. He knows what Namjoon feels; he can see it in
his face every time he stares at him, caressing his face, talking to him about
something important, nonsenses or just saying nothing.
That stupid human is looking at him just as he has seen Jeongguk look at Jimin
and is fucking unsettling –Yoongi doesn’t want it. He doesn’t.
It was fun, sure. It’s over now, it needs to be. It has to be over now. He
can’t risk himself. He can’t.
It has happened before and he has gotten out unscathed luckily, never has he
been attached enough to anyone else and he is surely not attached to Namjoon
now. No.
Fuck. Why does he have to ruin everything like this?
 
 
Namjoon honestly doesn’t get it. All that he said was that Yoongi is the most
gorgeous creature he has ever seen before, kissing him slow and gentle, holding
him steady between his arms –like they had gotten used to. Sure he might have
looked at him in the eyes too maybe thinking in more ways to make him smile
because Yoongi’s smiles are beautiful. But that’s it. But still, Namjoon
doesn’t get it.
Nonetheless he tries to keep it cool when Yoongi says what he says.
“I’m not coming back anytime soon”
Namjoon understand that that’s an undefined amount of time that could be a long
while –a forever perhaps.
“I’m not going to leave the sea like Jimin did”
“I’m not asking you anything like that, Yoongi!” Namjoon feels his chest
tightening.  
“That’s just stupid” Yoongi says with a grimace avoiding Namjoon’s touch. He
can’t risk himself to be detached from his sea like that. No.
 
 
Namjoon tries to keep his cool too, all the way to the airport and in the plane
back to Seoul one day after Yoongi disappeared under the water without looking
back, because he’s that weak and can’t bear with being in there knowing Yoongi
is not going back because he apparently fucked up somehow.
And heartbreak really hurts. As a doctor he knows the heart is just an organ, a
muscle pumping blood but oh dear how much does heartbreak hurts his chest.
Funny he never thought that could actually happen to him –he heard about from
Hoseok and his dramas but that’s it.
He keeps his cool but he doesn't try anymore when he finally gets home in his
big white cold house and lands face first in his huge bed. He honestly cries a
little bit. Big boys cry too.
 
                                     * * *
 
Jeongguk is aware of the fact that he can’t really live in there forever –he
wishes though– but he knows that there are only going to be a small handful of
times in which he has to go back into the city still is not really a problem
anymore since Jimin can just simply go with him whenever now –his gorgeously
cute giggling boyfriend.
It’s sunny but not too warm outside. The air brings with itself a soft natural
smell. 
Jimin has been for the past half an hour with his legs in the water before he
gives up not long after feeling a tight knot in his chest at first at the sight
of no tail, something that used to fulfill him, his life, giving him freedom in
the open sea.
The tail he was so proud of seems to not want to come back to him anymore. He
feels his shoulders a little heavy but is just brief sensation, he realizes
later because as soon as Jeongguk gets behind him, encircling his arms around
his smaller frame and telling him how much he loves him. And Jimin just needs
that to feel alive and good, when he turns and Jeongguk cups his face to kiss
him softly, he knows is worth it.
 
 
 
                               ~ 1 year later ~
 
 
 
Jimin is well used to the city now; he still prefers the niceties of their home
in the sea of course. He waits for Jeongguk to end his meeting and finishes
entering the passcode into Jeongguk's phone checking the text that arrived a
couple minutes before. From Namjoon.
Jimin can’t help but to still feel a little sad for him and Yoongi.
He knows the redhead can be really stubborn and that to Yoongi the liberty he
has inside the water is everything and all he wants –he hoped for them before,
the time now the only one that can tell. In the text Namjoon says he will
flight with them back to the island the next week. So taking in consideration
the whole situation is obvious that Jimin gasps in shock at his words. Namjoon
hasn't gone back since that day.
He immediately replays back and ok followed by a smiling emoji. Emojis are
cute.
 
 
When they're finally back two days later, Taehyung is as always with his ass
settled on the downstairs bed eating candies and watching TV –the blonde blames
habits and points out that he has clothes on this time –if the tiniest pink
shorts and long white oversized t-shirt count.  
Jimin beelines to jump next to his friend, “When did they arrive?” he asks.
Taehyung tells how Hoseok had a complication with a project at first and then
Seokjin got stuck with work as well so they only managed to get back the day
before.
“It’s all good now” he gets up, walking towards the others. He pecks Namjoon's
and Jeongguk's cheek and then goes back for Jimin's mouth –just to bother
Jeongguk a bit since they haven’t see each other in like two weeks. “I’ll be in
the beach house!”
Jimin grabs one of the suitcases and takes the stairs up for the second floor
Jeongguk built just a few months back. They have their own private bedroom
there to settle while Namjoon is going to stay downwards.
 
                                     * * *
 
Namjoon takes the yacht the next day at sunset; he knows his way with it and
smoothly surrounds the island. He might be a little masochist, with all the
time that has passed already, he still hopes so he leaves the staircase down.
Jeongguk has told him not too long ago that the last thing he should do is to
give up.
He drinks a couple glasses of champagne and waits. He waits for hours,
distracting himself in his phone, listening to music and reading.
Soon enough his patience is rewarded with a particular glow in the darkness
that catches his eyes. He only confirms is icy blue before climbing down the
staircase, he doesn't go in the water though.
Yoongi swims closer "Hi, sailor"
Namjoon chuckles dryly, "Please" he sighs heavy and looks down at the redhead,
"You know? I'm not getting any younger here so I'll just be very
straightforward with this.” He looks at him in the eyes not hesitating, “Leave,
Yoongi. Leave right now if you don't want to stay with me. If the sea is what
you really want then leave now and don't come to me ever again."
Yoongi stays silent for a bit, brows furrowing "...You're the one coming here"
he stammers annoyed.
Namjoon counts up to a minute before Yoongi suddenly disappears from his view
again under the dark water.
For over a year the only one in his mind has been that heartbreaker unreal boy,
if it wasn't for that then he wouldn't have come back. He sighs deeply drinking
the last on his glass, the clear crystal glass he lets fall as soon as Yoongi
emerges again, this time taking impulse and climbing over to sit over the edge,
his tail still in the water moving sideways.
Namjoon sighs again.
"…I missed you" Eventually Yoongi says softly getting his tail out of the
water. When it morphs into his pair of skinny pale legs that's all it takes for
Namjoon to haul him up, Yoongi unable to keep his balance right away having
spent all that time in the water and not once in land.
Namjoon doesn’t waste any more time and kisses him hard, soft, hungry "Fuck, I
missed you too"
 
 
Yoongi is literally trembling in his arms once inside the cabin, on the bed in
Namjoon's lap letting the other run his hands over the expanse of his bare
body. “Are you cold?” Yoongi narrows his eyes but nods, he has a blanket over
himself right after.  “Do you want anything? Food or–”
“I’m okay”
Namjoon sits beside him, hands reaching forward fingers tangling gently on
Yoongi’s soft locks while the other finds his other hand squeezing. “I thought
I really was never going to see you again”
“…I thought you wouldn’t come back”
“Were you waiting for me?”
“’Course not”
“Right” Namjoon smiles, warm happy feeling filling his chest. “But you missed
me. You said it yourself”
“Whatever”
“I actually missed this part of you as well, all Tsundere and cute”
“Tsun– What?”
“Nothing. Come here” He leans over and kisses him.
Yoongi is pliant and lets him have his way with the kiss, enjoying as well.
It’s not much later that Namjoon ends up hovering over him, blanket forgotten
by their side.
“…Namjoon” Yoongi breathes the name out, Namjoon hums nipping gently on his
neck, “I won’t– I won’t leave the sea, okay? Never”
“I know and I’m not asking you to. Don’t worry, baby” he pecks his lips again.
Okay. Yoongi nods. Okay.
 
                                     * * *
 
Jeongguk, who’s seated in front of the window watching the clear sky along the
sea and the part of the island that’s visible, catches Jimin's tiny hand when
he walks close by his side; dragging him up his lap and making him snuggle
against his chest. Jimin doesn’t protest. "You like to walk a lot"
"Legs are funny" Even after so long, Jimin is eager about it. “I didn’t used
them often before I met you”
Jeongguk kisses him, "I love you"
"Why so cheesy?"
"Seriously, who teaches you to speak like that?" he kisses him again, "Anyway"
another peck, "I just want to cuddle with you, and is your fault"
Jimin snickers, "I love you too, Kookie. We can cuddle all you want, didn’t
know you were so needy" he snickers.
Jeongguk bites his lips about the last comment and pretends to ignore it, he
might be a little be needy truthfully "Good. Now let’s stay like this for a
while" Jimin hums. "And for your information, the only cheesy people in this
place are cheesy hyung number one Seokjin and cheesy hyung number two Hoseok. I
pray for Taehyung everyday"
And Jimin's laugh is one of the best sounds Jeongguk thinks, so he also prays
to hear it for the rest of his life.
