Chapter 4: Was It a..

The two boys sat there until the sun went down, whilst their gaze was plastered on the beautiful sky, Yoongi broke the silence that made the awkward moment.

"Hey Jimin, this might sound like a dumb question, but- what do you think about mermaids?", Yoongi hesitantly asked, nervously scratching his head.

"What do you mean?", Jimin answered, looking confused while drawing on the rough sand on the beach with his index finger and then turned his head towards him>.

"Do you- believe they..exist?", Yoongi asked, expecting for an answer that he was hoping for.

"Well, I enjoy the mermaid movies, but- no I don't think they exist", Jimin gave an honest answer, lightly shaking his head with a concerned eyes.

"Why not?", Yoongi asked again looking at Jimin, desperation filled his eyes as Jimin gave an answer which is not what he had hoped for.

"Because- it just, doesn't make any sense?!", Jimin stated and shrugged.Yoongi looked down at the wet sand in front of him and flooded in desperation.

"Hyung.. what's wrong? You've been- kinda off lately, and that question, are you okay?", Jimin asked concerned about his friend for his changing mood.

"I don't know..I was just- I guess curious? But now i really regret saying that to you", Yoongi said, pouting as Jimin's answer does not meet his expectation.

Jimin put on a warm gentle smile, as if telling him that he will get an answer one day.

"I think you should go back home, don't you feel cold?", Jimin asked, getting up and held his hand out towards Yoongi. Yoongi took his hand and Jimin pulled him up to help him get up.

They then return home with a light heart,epecially Yoongi, who has lift off some weight from his chest.

Later on when Yoongi arrived home, he opened the door of his house and went in after taking off his shoes when hisbaunt appeared in front of him.l)>

"Yoongi, why are you soaking wet?", his aunt asked and inspected his whole body for injuries, worried if something happened to him.

"No reason", he replied, telling her that nothing bad happened to him.

"Go take a shower, unless you want to get sick", his aunt said, pushing him aside so that he would go to his room.

"Yes, aunty..", he said respecfully since she is much older han him. It's their cultural tradition to respect elders especially old folks.

Yoongi then left to go upstairs, he walked into his room and immediately obeyed his aunty's orders and took a shower.

After he had finished his shower, he wear his pyjamas, he went and sat on his bed, remembering the voice that was heard at the beach.

"Why do you hate your father so much? Indeed he didn't go to your mothers funeral, but he must have his reasons, did you ever ask yourself why he's let you live with someone else? He still gives you money right? Why should you hate him when he tries to get money for you, did you ever ask yourself these questions?",

Yoongi sighed, remembering the girls choice of words, making him thinking if him hating his father is the right decision to do.

"I guess she's right.." He thought, agreeing on her words.

"But.." He's still debating with himself inside.

Yoongi then got out of his position and ran downstairs and out of the house, his Aunty tried calling for him, but he didn't answer and ran off.

"Aish! This kid!", his Aunty scowled as he did not listen to her and ran off instead.

At the beach, Yoongi stood in front of the wavy sea, he put each of his hands on each of his sides, and shouted out loud.

"Hey! I'm here! Wanna tell me something!? If you do! Say it to my face!", he shouted angrily, clenching his fist in frustration.

When suddenly a big wave hit Yoongi, and he was now in the water, drowning.

'What the- how am I here? Am I- dying?' He thought in the midst of drowning.

Suddenly, Yoongi was then able to breathe, he was pulled out, he tried to open his blurry eyes, he saw something unfamiliar, it was a- mermaid?

The unfamiliar creature looked more than worried, she was terrified, as she pulled him to the surface, he closed his eyes once more, and drifted off.

After a while, Yoongi groaned as he picks himself up from his bed, suddenly he saw his aunt and Jimin standing right in front of him beside his bed, lookign worried.

"What the- where am I? Wasn't I just at the beach just now?", Yoongi questioned, looking around to check his whereabouts.

"Woah, calm down there hyung, you're in your room, I brought you here, I found you lying on the beach floor, I tried to regain back your consciousness but it didn't work", Jimin explained.

"Yoongi, are you alright?". His aunt asked with concern.

"Don't worry, I'm fine", he reassured, not to make his aunt more worried.

"Jimin, Aunty.. you might think I've gone crazy or something and you might not believe me, but I saw something- a mermaid, she saved me", Yoongi said with expectation for them to believe him.

"Not with this again- did you hit your head or something? I told you, things like that DON'T exist!", Jimin said, tired and annoyed with the mermaid things.

"Yoongi, I think you should go take another bath, for your sake, so you don't catch a cold", his aunt said, handing him his towel for him to bath.

"Okay Aunty..", he obeyed his aunt once again. His aunt then went out of his room to let him bath.

"Wait.. Why are you even still here? Don't tell me you want to join me!", Yoongi said to Jimin, with wide eyed,wondering what he would reply with.

"Omg, How did you know? I wanna see your sexy body!", Jimin replied playfully with a small laugh.

"Fuck no! Get out!", Yoongi kicked him out of his room and shut his door off.

'Yeah.. shouldn't have said that..' Jimin thought, a disappointed sigh left his mouth.

Yoongi's aunt came upstairs after hearing loud noises. She then smiled at Jin and he left, leaving Yoongi alone.

Yoongi got up and took a shower, he then put himself to bed, resting his mind. After a few while he drift off to sleep

In the bright sun of the morning, Yoongi's alarm clock rang loudly to wake him up for school so that he wont be late.

"Is it morning already?", he woke up to get ready, after he got ready he walked to the kitchen to eat breakfast.

"Good morning, here I made you heoddeok for you", Yoongi's aunt said with a warm smile as a harm of the morning.

"Thank you, it looks delicious", Yoongi stated while shoving his food into his mouth. AfterYoongi finished his food he then left for school.

As he made it outside, a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes stood at the window of his store, looking insinde. He decided to ignore it and head to school to prevent any late submissions from happening.

He walked through the brown corridors which lead him into his classroom, luckily he got there before Hyejung so he wouldn't be annoyed in the morning, as he goes to sit in his seat, Hyejung waltzs in and makes her way over to Yoongi.

"Oppa~ were you waiting for me? Sorry I was late! But don't worry Oppa! I'll give you as much love and attention as ever", she said, touching Yoongi's chin.

"Yeah, I couldn't give a much bigger fuck!", Yoongi said ignoring her annoying voice.

"Okay everyone, take out your books! Who didn't do the homework that was assigned will be punished as always", the teacher stated...

Both Jimin and Yoongi raised their hands up, looking at each other as if high five-ing each other with eye contact.

"Well, at least you two were honest, come here you two. Anyone else?" The teacher asked no one dared to raise their hands.

"Show me your books", the teacher said pointing towards their book with her cane. Both boys handed the teacher their books, showing their clean, not touched pages that supposed to be their last homework.

"Oh, lovely!", the teacher sarcastically added. The two boys then walked away, with the teacher hitting Jimin hardly on the butt.

"That's what you two get for not completing the task! Out of my classroom, NOW!",

Both boys went out of the classroom and stood there until the class was dismissed.
