Ideas and Short Story Prompts

The Mermen - BTS / Y/n (JK / Y/n)

You were so tired of it all, your life, your problems, your past. 

As you walked along the beach you wished you could just make all your "issues" vanish somehow. After sitting on the sand looking out at the stars over the oceans horizon, that's when you saw it.

Large splashes and waves like something was headed at high speed directly towards you. 

You quickly jumped up, all previous thoughts interrupted, and ran to hide behind a rock up in the dune. After a few minutes of watching the ocean intently, the waves stopped, Even the regular pattern you had seen before seemed weaker. 

That's when you saw him. A man was laying on the beach not far from where you had been. 

He didn't seem to be moving.

You wondered how long he had been laying there and cursed yourself for not noticing him earlier.

As you approached him you realized ...

... he had a tail.

Instead of drawing back like the fearful, somewhat logical part of your brain was currently yelling at you to do; you knelt down on the damp sand next to him to check for injuries. The moment your hand touched his skin a glowing pattern erupted all over his skin, dispersing upwards and stopping at the ends of his hair, and downwards to the tip of his tail. 

The moonlight was the only light illuminating his tail showing you how it reflected sparkling like the sand around you had been infused with the stars and painted over the lower half of his body. The upper half was pure muscle, toned and defined. Your eyes trailed up to his hair still softly glowing from whatever your touch had caused. 

You pulled your hand back quickly, surprised by whatever had just occurred. You glanced back at the young man. you had been intently staring at, his breaths shallow, you looked away towards the moon, questioning what the hell was going on. Just as you had begun to calm down and acknowledge the fact that a freaking merman was laying on the beach ... right next to you. 

Okay you had definitely not calmed down in any way whatsoever. You were attempting to count your breaths when you felt the sand shift next to you. You turned to see him bolt upright, and take his time staring at you. 

Only fair, I had been watching him like a perv like 2 seconds ago

"Who are you?" he asked coldly, his lack of expression shocking you.

"Me?! You're the one with a bloody tail who just washed ashore and you're asking ME who I  am ?!"

"IT'S BLOODY?!?!?!" He almost shrieked immediately glancing down to examine himself.

"You face palmed before shaking your hands. "NO, no no, no, no." You quickly reassured him. You reached out to comfort him before his head swiveled to face you again so quickly you pulled your hand back towards your body.

"Why on EARTH would you say something like THAT then?" He said regaining his breath.

"Oh, I'm sorry for being just a little  bit shocked to discover there are smoking hot ... I'm sorry you're not smoking ... effing MERMEN that exist in the same reality as I do."

His childish dazed expression quickly shifted as he cocked one eyebrow and his lips morphed into a smirk. His eyes locked with yours, "You think I'm sexy?".

"No, I said hot." you corrected.

"Not that I don't think that you're sexy ... I'm just saying your mere presence is a bit daunting to me right now ... not intimidating daunting but more of a OH MY GOD kind of daunting you know? I am so rambling ... I swear I - I did have a point."

He merely smiled as you fumbled to control your growing blush. 

"So um ... do mermen have names?" you questioned changing the topic.

"Yes." 

"Oh." you replied awkwardly, shuffling around in the sand a bit.

"I'm Jungkook", he said softly as you looked back up at him. His eyes seemed to be sparkling with hope?

"I'm Y/n!" you replied, perhaps a tad  too enthusiastically. 

You both stared at one another for a minute simply enjoying the other's company. 

"Not to be rude or anything" you said breaking the silence and glancing towards the ocean, "but why are you here?"He looked disheartened until you blinked and gulped explaining, "I mean why did you come barreling towards me in the dark at like a thousand miles per hour?".

Now it was his turn to glance awkwardly away. 

"I felt a calling"

"A calling?"

"To you."

Au where the BTS members are mermen and you are a lonely young woman with far too many problems to run, or more accurately swim, away from.
