I filled the bathtub with hot water and quickly got in.
It washes away the saltiness of the body and also sweeps away the cold air.
Chanyeol's mind was really complicated even with his eyes closed.
I had a bad feeling about this.
The waves and wind grew stronger the closer I got to Baekhyun, as if they were trying to throw me off.
I closed my eyes and was in the silence of darkness, the only sound I could hear was the sound of water lapping.
Even when I opened my eyes, it was dark.
I have really complicated and difficult feelings.
As I let out a deep sigh and tried to get up, I immediately felt soft, moist lips and warm body temperature.
Baekhyun approached me with his eyes covered with his hands.
And when I removed my covering hand, I saw a clean face.
Ah, Chanyeol sighed softly.
I couldn't see Baekhyun's blue eyes.
Why... why can't I see those blue eyes?
"Chanyeol..?"
'Why did you lose your light? Why?'
Chanyeol shed tears as he saw Baekhyun disappear without leaving even a single trace of blue light.
I felt sad for some reason.
The sapphire eyes no longer shined and were clouded black.
Chanyeol felt like it was his fault.
Chanyeol showed a mirror to a scared Baekhyun.
I mean those black eyes.
The ice finally burst.
The mermaid realized.
That she was no longer a mermaid, but a human.
And soon he will die. Together with Chanyeol.
Maybe it's a mermaid's instinct.
I had to get away from Chanyeol somehow.
The mermaid had to leave Chanyeol right now, but she couldn't do that.
Because I loved you so much.
There was nothing we could do but hug each other desperately and find our lips.
Chanyeol just hugged the mermaid tightly as she whined and crawled into his arms.
I'm talking about a mermaid who sheds human tears, not crystal tears.
