Mingi and his girlfriend, Coral, were walking hand in hand around town. They were walking pass a cafe, when a customer who was on the tables outside of the cafe, spilled her drink on her boyfriend and some of it got on Coral. Coral stopped in panic, letting go of Mingi hands, before taking off running towards the ocean.

"Coral!" Mingi shouted, but was ignored. He let her go. This has been happening ever since they started dating. She runs away every time water touches her. He wants to know why she freaks out when water touches her.

With Coral

Coral jumped into the water deeper, making sure people weren't around. She turned into a mermaid and swam faster away from the people. She swam to the underwater cave she found that has a tunnel to the city. As you guys can tell, she was a mermaid. Both her parents are mermaids and mermen. Her father was killed by sirens, who invaded their city, Oceania. Some of her people were killed and some escaped. Her mother and her were one of the people who escaped. They escaped to Jeju Island to live among humans. Once in a while, they need water and need to swim. They can't go long with needing to be in water. They can only go two weeks without needing to be in water. If they go more than two weeks, they start getting sick and getting dead scales. Another thing is that they can turn into a mermaid when a little bit of water or any form of water touches them, which is why Coral freaked out and ran towards the ocean. She needs a blue moon crystal necklace to prevent that from happening, but since Oceania was taken over by sirens, she can't get one. She was supposed to get it when she turned five, but the attack happened before she turned five. Her mother has one and was going to give her but she needs it more since her mother's work involves water.

Coral spent a few minutes in the water, before getting out. She dried herself with her evaporation power, which is one of her powers. She has water and ice powers as well.

Coral got up when she got her legs. She walked through the tunnel, leading her into the forest. Then, she made her way home, where she knew Mingi was there. He still didn't know that she was a mermaid even though they were dating for six months. She couldn't get herself to tell him since she was scared that he would leave her because of it, but she can't keep it to herself forever. She was glad he didn't question her about her running way when water touches. She decided to tell him when she got home.

When she got there, Mingi was waiting outside the gates. He looked up when he heard her approaching. She smiled at him and she opened the gate. They walked into her house.

"I've been stopping from asking, waiting for you to tell me when you are ready, but you haven't. So, I'm going to ask. Why do you always run away when water touches you?" Mingi asked as soon as they got inside.  Coral turned to him.

"Come with me," she replied, grabbing his hands and pulling him towards the bathroom, "I have something to show you that will answer your question." Mingi followed her to the bathroom. She got inside the tube, laying down.

""Don't say anything, just watch," she said when she saw he was about to say something. She turned the dial, making the water come. As the water touched her, in a few minutes, she turned into her mermaid form. Mingi was shocked.

"You're a mermaid," he stated the obvious.

"Yes, I am," she replied, waiting for him to freak out.

"That's cool," he said after a few seconds. Coral looked at him in shock,

"You're not mad?"

"No, I don't care if you are a mermaid, you are still you. I will still love you regardless. I am mad that you didn't tell me for so long though," he replied as crouch down next to the tube, wiping her tears, "Were you afraid that I will leave you because of this? That's why you didn't tell me" Coral nodded.

"You know I will never leave you for something like this," he said, kissing her on the cheek, "So this is the reason you ran away every time water touches you?"

"Yea, I will turn with any bit of water that gets on me," she answered, "I need a blue moon crystal necklace like the one my mom has for this to stop happening, which can only be found at my home in the ocean."

"Why can't you go get it then?"

"I can't. My home was taken over by sirens. Every one of my kind escaped or was killed by them. My father was killed by them. My mother and I barely escaped here," she explained, "Mymother is working in the laboratory in case the ocean explorers find and bring a blue moon crystal. Until she finds one, I have to stay away from any form of water that can get on me."

"Okay, now that I know about this, I will help you and keep your secret safe," he promised. She wrapped her arms around his neck, hugging him, which he returned.

"Thank you."
