I immediately threw my bag at my bed and placed the aquarium on top of my study table. I sat down and examined the creature in front of me. That was one hell of a pet shop, really. That guy was selling weird creatures such as unicorns and mermaids. Mermaid, I'm staring at a mermaid right now. Wait, mermaid is what they call a female person with a fish's tail so this guy over here is a merman. Am I right?
"Hi." I smiled, waving at him. I saw him flinched and hid inside the treasure chest box. I frowned. He's scared of me? "I won't hurt you, I promise."
"H-Hello." I grinned at him, ignoring the creepy feeling that mermaids can speak. But don't mermaids really speak? They sing, too. Right?
"What's your name?" I asked him. He gave me a what-do-you-mean look and he spoke. "Aren't you supposed to be the one who will give me my name?" I cringed. He's kind of sassy, yet he had the sweetest voice I've ever heard.
"Hmm. What should I call you?" I asked myself and saw a magazine beside the aquarium. I took a hold of it and scanned for something, hoping to find a name that will suit this mermaid. I decided to call him a mermaid instead of a merman. Merman sounded off since he looks kind of fragile and cute for a guy like him.
"How about Buttons?" I suggested and he threw a pebble at me. How violent.
"Pebble?" since he threw a pebble at me, I'm going to call him pebble. "Do I look like pebble-ish to you?" I was shocked. How can he be so sassy? I shook my head lightly and turned the page of the magazine. I saw a girl frying my favorite...
"Bacon?" This time, I saw him smile. That was the cutest smile I witnessed since I was born. Did he like it? "You like it, Bacon?" I asked him. He nodded, "Then Bacon it is."
I reached for my phone and dialed Jongin's number. "Hello, hyung?" he answered. "I got myself a pet." I said and twirled my finger inside the aquarium. "Really? Then that's great. Can you bring it tomorrow so we could see." he excitedly answered. I heard a singing voice over Jongin's line. "Who's that singing?" I asked. "That's my pet. Oh, gotta go. Bye hyung!"
So his pet could sing? I wonder if Bacon can. "Can you sing?" I softly asked.
"Yes, of course..." he smiled and closed his eyes.
"Have you, you, you lost your way again
The night air is still cold, get up
So, baby, hold on I'm worried of leaving you alone
I leave the road and follow behind you~"
I was left speechless. He's perfect.
