    Summary

    “Have you ever heard about the origami hearts tradition in the hospital?”

    Taking the heart, the child excitedly inspected it, nodding in glee. “Yes! My mama told me that when someone leaves the hospital to go to heaven, we all fold a paper heart for them! Like this, like this!”

    “That’s right,” chuckled Soobin. “But do you know how it started? It started here, in this room. From a boy who used to fold a paper heart every day for his lost love, hoping each one he makes will take him closer to the day those eyes would open again.”

    "Unfortunately for him, the day never came."

    In other words, a hopeless love story of two childhood best friends who didn't realise what it meant to have each other until it was too late; compiled of yearning, loss, forlorn hope, unrequited love, and every tragedy in between.

    Summary

    The creature eyes him suspiciously for a moment, but the heaving of his chest makes it clear he’s been struggling for a while. His tense shoulders slump with exhaustion, and the mistrust in his eyes gives way to broken acceptance. Despite his wariness, it looks as though he's decided to let Yeonjun help him.

    Yeonjun finally gets close enough to take in the details of the stranger’s face. The man’s— dolphin’s— mer...person’s? What the f— face is pale and scared, with wet-dark bangs that are plastered against his forehead and dripping into even darker eyes. He looks up at Yeonjun through his hair, irises endless like the depths of the sea, and Yeonjun freezes up all over again.

    -

    Yeonjun is a lifeguard who had been expecting an average summer of eating pier fries and saving the day, and Soobin is a mermaid who hadn't been expecting to wash up on a beach.

    Summary

    Soobin had ducked away from a particularly powerful tail thrash that had sent a bottle of 5-in-1 sailing past his ear, and Yeonjun’s giant, fearful yellow eyes had caught the movement. He bared his teeth at Soobin in a growl, shrinking back against the wall. All of his fins were flared out, their spines sharp and raised like hackles on an angry dog. He looked dangerous.

    He looked beautiful.

    -

    Soobin saves a mermaid. At least, he thinks he has- but can you really call it a rescue when you keep him confined to your bathtub for months on end? Yeonjun, while grateful, longs to be free, and Soobin struggles with feelings of guilt, selfishness, and the pain of loving something (or someone) in a way that hurts them.
