Introduction
It was a dark night on the ship. The fishnets were still spread over the wide sea. "A storm is approaching! We must get the fishnets back before it's too late!" The captain yelled. The crew got the nets skillful back in the boat. "This one is really heavy!" one boy yelled as he was pulling a net back to him. "Be carefull you don't rip the net, Rookie!" Someone else yelled back. "Got it!" The boy said as he worked hard to get the net inside. As the net almost reached the boat he saw something he couldn't believe himself. His eyes broaded as he saw what he caught.

Chapter

It was a windy night. The fishnets were still spread over the wide sea. As the captain looked at the wild ocean he sighed and took the microphone to talk to his crew. "A storm is approaching, We must safe the catch, Get all the nets back as quick as possible, We don't have much time!" He said. The crew quickly started to work on it. So did Soohyun. He walked over to the closest net. As he grabbed the rope he was quite surprised. "Woa.. This is a heavy one! Nice catch!" He said happy. "Don't waste it then, This fishing work is a big bussiness! If we lose the catch, we won't have any money to feed our families.. don't screw it up like last time!" One of the other crew members yelled at Soohyun from his spot. "I got it, i got it!" Soohyun yelled back as he strained his muscles and slowly got the net back to the boat. "Make sure you don't rip the net, Rookie!" The captain said as he saw Soohyun struggle a bit. Soohyun quickly showed his thumb to the captain as he continued retrieving the net. As the net got up he proudly looked at his catch, He looked at all the fish and suddenly noticed two big eyes staring scared at him. His eyes widened as he saw you. "i-i-i-i is that.. a Mermaid?!" He yelled quite surprised. You struggled, trying to get out the net as fast as you could, however there was no way out. The other crew members all looked at Soohyun, They already got their nets in the boat and all their eyes were turned to Soohyun. The captain ran out of his cabinet to the deck as he heard Soohyun yell. He walked towards the net as Soohyun slowly pulled it back in the boat and putted it on the ground. You were still trying to get out. "This gotta be a joke.." The captain said as he slowly approached you. He reached his hand out to you. You showed your fangs in order to scare him off. The captain quickly pulled his hand back. "Don't free her! We've just caught the jackpot, guys!" The captain yelled as he turned to Soohyun. "You caught it, So i want you take keep an eye on her, Put her in one of the empty fish containers and bring her to your room." The captain said to him, "Aye captain!" Soohyun said as he looked at you. He lifted the net carefully, holding it away from him. He did as the captain said.

"Why did you let him bring her to his room?" one of the crew members asked. "Someone has to keep an eye on the mermaid, She's worth a lot of money! It's like finding a myth.. Beside that, If she attacks someone, Let it be him.. he ain't worth much to this ship anyways." the captain said clod, The others just agreed and continue working. 

Soohyun took you to his room. He looked at you and at the fish container. ".. how am i gonna do this without hurting myself.." He said a bit soft. You just looked at him with big eyes. He looked at you. "So mermaids do exist.. And i caught one.. a pretty one it is!" Soohyun laughed a bit, ".. You must be scared and feel dry.. I can help you.. but only if you don't hurt me.. Do you get it?" He looked you in your eyes. He slowly reached his hand for you like the captain did, However, This time you didn't move at all. Soohyuns hand slowly touched your cheek. You startled a bit, However he softly stroked your cheek. You looked at him, with a sad expression. He slowly came closer as he opened the fishnet. He slowly tried to lift you, You felt his fear, So you didn't moved. He slowly lifted you in the fish container, Which was filled with water. He smiled as he saw you actually enjoying the water a bit. You saw him looking at you and you placed your arms on the edge, looking at him. "Are you hungry?" He asked. You nodded. "What do mermaids eat?" He wondered.. "Fish.." You said. He looked at you, "You can talk?" He looked quite surprised. You nodded, "We eat fish.. " You said again. Soohyun smiled, "I'll be right back, I'll go get some fish for you!" He said as he stood up and ran to the deck. He opened one of the containers and got some fish. He quickly rushed back. You were still sitting the same in the small container. He threw the fish in your container, making the fish swim around. You caught one and took a bite. He looked at you as you ate. You slowly offered a fish. "Ah, No need. I usually don't eat fish like that.." He smiled awkwardly. You smiled back and continued eating. "What's your name?" Soohyun asked. ".. It's Oceane Melody.." You said soft. "What an enchanting name.. Mine is Soohyun, Shin Soohyun. But you can call me Soohyun.." He smiled. You smiled back.
