Mermaid!Jeonghan

Notes: I wrote jeonghan a totally different scenario, but I absolutely hated it. So I took a break, and rewrote it! I like how this one came out, I hope you do too! •you are the supposed to be the heir of Quia, a colony inhabited by mermaids •your tail is a cyan blue, with baby blue sparkles on it •your younger siblings all had purple tails, like their mother •you were born from a different mother, who had became sick and died when you were little •no other choice, you moved in with your father, King Ryuu •while your stepmother was nice, and treated you like her own child, only one out of her three kids followed in her footsteps •the eldest one was cruel, he'd put dirt on your schoolbooks, tear you dresses •King Ryuu was the worst by far, he would make you sleep on the other side of the castle, with the servants children •while you had no qualms with that, he'd make you get up at five and make you run errands, help make breakfast, clean his clothes and more •he was nothing like a father •and by law, your stepmother could do nothing, as you weren't her child legally •you were trapped • •When you turned sixteen, things stayed the same •instead of receiving training, since one day you'd be the ruler •King Ryuu gave you more work, and moved you out of the servants quarters, isolating you instead •you received strict rules that you were not allowed to speak to anyone, that you would be punished if you did •Your stepmother would come, drop off books and tell you about the outside, letting you speak to her •every time she had to leave, tears were in her eyes, and she'd give a tight smile and tell you she'd see you tomorrow •little did she know that her daughter would come and hang out with you all day, she'd spin tales about school •she called you her favorite sibling, and that made you happy •soon enough she was the reason you lived •why you didn't die, why you didn't hang yourself, even though that would please the king •Visitors would come and the King would introduce them to his three children •The visitors would talk about taking servants from your father, and he would laugh and say that they'd cost an arm •but he wasn't joking •he ran an underground ring, he sold body parts, children, anything you could think of •it was an awful thing, that his eldest son knew he did •his son, uta, was a part, he was the one who gathered the things to sell •after all, who thought a child was behind the disappearance of children •the youngest son, zion, was only eleven and did not know what his father did, he was quiet, often hiding in nooks and crannies •he'd outgrown his hate for you, and had snuck in to your room once with Lyra, to talk about other colonies • •"Our neighbor colony is coming over tonight! I hear that the prince is supposed to be beautiful but his advisor is even more!" •Lyra sung as she danced around your small room •smiling at her, you hummed a tune so she could continue her dance •"they are only coming to see if we continue to trade, and to see if we are on good terms." •Zion who was perched on the edge of your bed spoke, for being eleven, he was incredibly smart •Lyra paused mid twirl, sticking out her tongue at her brother •"oh y/n! Are you sure you can't leave the room? Just for tonight?" •Lyra pleaded, flinging herself on your lap, her big green eyes growing bigger as she pouted •"Lyra, you know I can't. But I'm sure you'll have a fun time." •you whispered to her, your voice itchy as you spoke •her pout grew bigger, and she sighed dramatically, throwing her head back •"Shut up Lyra." •Zion commanded his sister, shooting you an apologetic look •while he did not know what his father did, he knew that he wasn't a good man •But Lyra thought the best in everyone, she loved her father •"Meanie! I'm older than you, respect me!" •Lyra commanded Zion, or attempted to •he smirked at her, and shook his head •watching her yell at her brother, and than his response that made her continue laughing was funny •"Kids? Where are you?" •your step mothers called for them, making them both freeze •"Coming mom!" •Lyra called after a second, grabbing zion's hand, she waved to you •"bye y/n, I love you." •and the two swam out of the room, leaving you alone in your room •standing up from the bed, you closed the door, making sure that they left no trace •once you were sure no one was coming, you stood by a wall that was covered by a bookshelf •grabbing the corner, you pulled it out of its place •exposing the wall behind it, where you had drawn on it •paints that step mother gave to you •on the wall were paintings of outside, kelp, seaweed, things that people didn't appreciate •this is what kept you sane •staring at the wall, and rubbing the pads of your fingers on it, feeling every crack and crevice •"y/n! Come! Daddy said that you could join us!" •Lyra said, swimming into the room •her blonde hair was in a bun, making her look proper •knowing that King Ryuu had plans, and that terrified you •"give me a minute." •smiling at the girl, you swam to where your small closet was •inside were few pieces of fabric, picking the best one, you put it on •running a comb through the mess on your head, you rushed through •making yourself look a little presentable •"are you ready yet?" •nodding to the blonde mermaid, you raised a finger, telling her to wait •pushing the bookshelf back in place, you let her drag you out of the room •her tail was powerful, even with your small tail movements, you were going quickly •"This is my daughter, Lyra. She is a fine young lady, a beauty isn't she?" •King Ryuu spoke, his tone bragging since he knew that Lyra was adorable •"It's my pleasure to see you again, princess Lyra. Who's the young one next to her?" •the king of the neighboring colony greeted Lyra, then brought king Ryuu's attention on you •"that is y/n, an orphan." •he said coldly, staring at you •your gaze was on the floor, while you waited for someone to change the subject •"Well King Ryuu, I hear that you have had the chefs make a feast for tonight!" •the other kind changed the subject, a jolly smile on his face •that got King Ryuu to smile again, making him remember the task on hand •Lyra squeezed your hand, and swam over to her spot at the table •awkwardly standing by the wall, feeling more alone that you did in your cell •"Y/N, please come sit." •the prince of the neighboring colony said, motioning to the empty chair next to him •receiving a glare from King Ryuu, you swam over quickly, sitting next to the prince in record time •"I'm Joshua, behind me is jeonghan, next to him is Seungcheol, my knight." •Joshua said, a smile on his face as he introduced you to the males behind him •bowing to them while still sitting, you kept your eyes on the floor, fearing your punishment •they saw your reluctance to speak, with odd glances, the feast carried on •you were allowed to eat, since King Ryuu couldn't tell you not to, but as you felt sick to your stomach •small bites of food, and moving it around, making it look like you ate •"y/n?" •you heard Lyra call your name quietly, as the adults spoke •looking at her, you tried to keep tears from coming out of your eyes •"he's not going to hurt you, is he?" •her voice wavered, making her seem younger than she actually was •"of course not, sweetie. Don't worry, I'm strong." •for the first time tonight, you spoke, your voice cracking as you tried to whisper •feeling the princes eyes on you, you looked away from Lyra •unable to see her eyes moving from you to Zion, who was also looking at you • •Uta was telling the king about his grades in a class he didn't even attend when King Ryuu made up an excuse to make you leave the room •"Y/N has an early day tomorrow, I must help her get ready, my apologies." •freezing at his words, you knew that it was time •getting off the chair, you smiled at Lyra and Zion, hoping to get their minds off of you •"it was a pleasure meeting you, I'm sad to see you go." •the king laughed as you bowed goodbye •without looking back, you swam to your room •knowing that he was following •once you were in the room, a hand was around your neck, choking you •King Ryuu's blue tail swishing side to side in anger •"How dare you come out! After all I've done for you! Brainwashing my children, you whore!" •King Ryuu seethed, his hold on you neck getting tighter •not moving around, you let him choke you, knowing that he was happy causing you pain •his hands got off of your neck, but his fist hit your jaw as his other hand clutched your hair •counting the hits, you waited for it to be over •One •Two •Thr- •the next thing you knew, you were on the floor, red floating above you •it tasted metallic when you opened your mouth, so you didn't •black dots clouded your vision, making everything splotchy, your ears were ringing •voices were there, but you were unable to make the words out •a face moved into your vision, making your last coherent thought being a name •Jeonghan • •your body hurt, you felt like screaming •you were swimming as quickly as you could but from what? •who was chasing you? •and than nothing, there was no more swimming, no outside walls •you were inside your prison, where you were beaten down •swimming closer, you saw a person on the bed •it was you, wasn't it? •the hair matched, so did the tail, but where were the bruises, the necklace Lyra gave you on your birthday? •This couldn't be you, it had to be someone else •but only you laid in this bed • •sitting up, you gasped, feeling your heartbeat throughout your whole body •"Y/N, listen to me, you're okay. My name is mingyu, I'm a medic. I'm here to help you. Deep breaths." •the mermaid instructed you, taking your hand and putting it on his own heart •it took you a while, but your breathing was normal, a hiccup every now and then •"where… am I?" •you paused, noticing how hoarse your voice was, it hurt like hell •"Jeonghan went to go make sure you were alright, his gut said something fishy was happening. When he opened the door, he saw you and the king, he called for Seungcheol, and they knocked him out. Sadly the king did the same to you." •the brunette mermaid said, you hand still on his heart as he spoke letting you feel it beating •nodding, you let your gaze hit the floor •"where's Lyra and Zion?" •you asked, afraid of what he might answer •"we took them into custody, King Ryuu and prince Uta have been arrested." •Mingyu said, his eyes on you seeing your reaction to this news •you didn't have any tears to cry for those pieces of shit, so you scoffed •"good riddance." •he shook his head with a smile on his face, and took your hand off his heart •"you've got injuries, a split lip, a black eye, bruises, and a gash on your upper arm. No concussion luckily." •mingyu told you, swimming from the bed you were lying on •"wh…when can I see them?" •mingyu shrugged at your question, unable to give you a definite answer •before you could try to whisper out another question, Joshua swam through the door •the rose tailed male behind him, a worrying look in his eyes •"y/n, my father would like to see you. If that's alright?" •Joshua said, the question more towards mingyu,asking if you could leave •he nodded, a smile in his face •"okay." •you agreed, getting out of the bed and groaning •your body hurt, you could feel your eye throb •Joshua led the way, weaving through crowded areas as you and jeonghan followed •"thank… you. For stopping him." •you said, your throat still itchy •"it was nothing, he was an asshole." •his voice was clear, and his smile seemed to hold nothing cruel behind it •so you returned his smile, beaming at him • •when you made it to the castle, the king was waiting for you •"Excuse me." •entering the room, you tried to your voice as clear as possible but it was clear that it was coming and going •"y/n, how are you doing? I trust that mingyu treated you well." •the king asked, concern clear in his eyes •"I'm fine, thank you for asking." •coughing in the middle of your sentence, you powered through the uncomfortable feeling in your throat •the conversation was a bit one sided after that, the king telling you what would happen to king Ryuu and Uta •that your stepmother would take over the throne as the queen, and if you wanted, you could be the ruler •when he said that you could rule the colony, you giggled •how was he expecting you to rule? •Zion or Lyra would take the throne, and you would be a civilian, that's the way it would go •but what he did give you was an option to stay here, in this colony •that going back to Quia so early, might be traumatic •you agreed to it, since the only thing tying you to that place were your siblings and stepmother • •"y/n! It's time to go! Come on!" •you had been re-homed with a young mermaid named chan and his family •chan was a bit of an excited mermaid, always at full speed ahead •but he was adorable and who were you to complain? •so here he was, dragging you out of the house •taking you to hang out with his friends •or your friends?? •you had made friends with them, but it was still strange to be allowed out •especially since you were still considered an heir, so people treated you differently •except for the group of boys that chan introduced you to •Joshua, who was a prince and already had a fiancé •Vernon, who was training to be a knight •Mingyu, who was a medic and a chef •and so many more who already knew what they wanted to do with their life •"y/n! Let's go!" •chan swam circles around you, laughing as he did so •agreeing, you swam to the castle, where the fourteen of you would hang out •when you and chan arrived, only Joshua and jeonghan were there •but the two of them seemed to be arguing over something •"you don't get it Joshua! Yeah, the way you met your fiancé was strange but I met my crush under terrible situations! It's not my place to tell them how I feel!" •jeonghan had wild hand motion as he spoke, his cheeks a pink from anger •"jeonghan! If you don't say anything, they'll leave! And then what? You sulk for the rest of your life, wondering what could've happened?" •Joshua retorted, looking done with this conversation •before jeonghan spoke again, Joshua saw the two of you and swam over •he hugged chan, before waving to you with a smile on his face •he begun to ask chan about school, and the younger mermaid started to complain about his teachers •swimming over to jeonghan who was leaning against the wall •"you okay?" •within the three months you had been here, your voice had gotten a little clearer and didn't hurt as much to speak •he nodded and paused, thinking about what he wanted to say •"yeah, he's just acting like a brother again instead of a friend." •jeonghan said, rolling his eyes at the prince who was still listening to Chan •"I have to agree with him though, if you like someone then you should tell them. Heartbreak is better than not knowing." •or at least that's what chan's mom said •"you think?" •He asked, cocking his head to the side •"yeah, I do. It's good to do things before it gets to bad." •you were talking from experience, as you had the chance in Quia, but you hadn't taken it •but here would be different •"y/n, would you come with me for a minute?" •jeonghan asked, his face squishing itself into a nervous look •you nodded even though you were confused to what he would tell you, following him out of the room •in the hallway, you heard him sigh, as he prepared to say whatever he was worried about •"It's you. I like you, the way you observe things before you speak. How you care for the younger mermaids, how you aren't afraid to speak your mind, but you're still polite. I like you." •he stared straight at you while confessing, his cheeks the same pink tinge from earlier, but this time not from anger •"uh…I think I like you too. I'm not sure what crushes really feel like, or what to do in relationships. I just know that I like seeing you happy." •your voice cracked multiple times, but honestly you didn't care •you didn't care, especially not when jeonghan was grinning in front of you •"that's alright, we'll go slow." •he said, closing his eyes as he smiled •swimming closer to him, you closed your eyes and did something out of your nature •pressing your lips to his temple, you tried to show how you felt •because words might be difficult but body language was easy •when you pulled away, you saw that his smile was even bigger •"fuck, how are you so cute?" •he questioned, holding out his hand •slowly taking his hand with yours, you smiled back at him •swimming back into the room where you saw that all the boys were there now •when Joshua saw the two of you holding hands, he winked at the two of you •it was mingyu who pointed it out, and made the group whistle at the two of you •you might've lost the ones biologically related to you, but the family you made by yourself was better then that man ever was
