I can't let him see that!!  Ajhumma said she saw him coming here in the bedrocks! where is that monkey!?"hyukjae! hyukjae! come out! i know you're just hiding!! Come out or I'll find you to kick your monkey bu--" I haven't finished my sentence because I could've sworn I heard someone sobbing. what is that? ghost!? n-no ghost don't appear in daylight!! r-right?"y-yah! Hyukjae! enough with your pranks already! come on out!!" I yelled even louder but the waves are just hovering my voice as it crashes to the rocks."who are you?" I heard someone with a soft voice. "where are you? s-show yourself!" I yelled. a bit panicking. "I am here. just look closely" I heard the voice answer with a few "sniff"sounds. I think that was the voice that I heard crying earlier. look closely? such a wierd person. but nevertheless, I still searched. as I searched I saw a pair of big beautiful brown eyes staring at me. ony it was a little red and puffy because of crying. skin like ivory and hair that reaches into her tummy. all wavy and a bit messy. She was beautiful.   Nan dangsini jakkuman barphyeoseo

Nae mami neomu apayo "I-I'm not Hyukjae" She stuttered the moment I saw her. I just chuckled. what a silly answer. is she here alone? "of course you're not, silly! you're a girl!" she seems quite confused. "who is Hyukjae?" she asked."He's my bestfriend who looks like a monkey!! and he took my backpack!!" "Monkey? wait, if he's you're best friend, why would he steal from you??"she's even more confused."No it's not stealing. he's just playful and loves to pull pranks" I explained. "He took my backpack because he wants to tease me on giving a letter to yeppeo  s-seonsaengnim" I stuttered at the last part."yeppeo??" She looked me in deep in the eye. looking back at her was a mistake. I was trapped, I can't even look away. "d-deh. yeppeo.neomu yeppeo"  She smiled. I  walked foward to get close to her but she screamed"DON'T!" but she was already late to warn me. that day I saw something extraordinary.     Haruga gago bami omyeon

Eotteoke haeya joheulkkayo So that's why she's hiding on the rock. that's why I thought she was alone. maybe the reason why she was crying, too. she was different? no, she was special. Fins for a pair of legs. "please go away! please don't tell!" she begged as she moved way from me struggling to get to the edge of the rock and jump to the water. No. please. don't go."wait!!" please wait don't jump. don't go away. I-I won't tell!" I held into her hands. She was staring at me. probably wondering if she should trust me or not."please. let's be friends. I won't tell" I pleaded. She was in tears now."you promise?""yes. I won't tell" I repeated."no"."she closed her eyes and shook her head lightly. "that we'll be friends?" she opened them now with full of hope."Yes. I won't leave you" I promised. "I'm Donghae" I introduced myself while making myself sit beside her."________" She smiled as she looked at me. as our promises is closed with her smile, there opened a special friendship for the both of us. Maeumi sarangeul ttareuni

Nae mami neomu apayo  It's been a couple of years since we've been friends. I showed her everything we have in the land, while she did the same. she made me see beautfiful things I doubt people will ever see and appreciate. the shells, white sands, the clear blue seawater and many more.                                                                                                                                                                                                            one of the funny things is, I feel that drum beat in my chest whenever I'm with her. like how it races very fast when I see seonsaengnim. I even told seonsaengnim about it, but the only thing she did is smile at said is "you'll figure it out someday. we all are given to eyes to see, two ears to hear, but only one heart to find the perfect half" which made me really confused. is seonsaengnim telling me a riddle?and so I went to the bedrocks to visit her as usual. many people in our place refer to me as a "strange boy" but they don't really know I have such a special friend.  we talked, played by the water and shared stories. I even gave her a story book namely "little mermaid" she looked so cute as she gazed every picture in awe at listened to me intently at a tell the story. "_______-ah" "hmm?""when we first met, why is your eyes red and puffy? why were you crying?""The starfish i passed by that day was mean and said I don't belong at sea. but I don't think I can be at land too.""don't you have parents?" "I've been alone for as long as I can remember. the startfish said i shouldn't have existed because I don't fit in." she said while looking into the water with her sad eyes. "but then I met you. everything changed. I won't be like that little mermaid who became bubbles in the sea.little mermaid, who didn't exist." she smiled at me. ba-bump ba-bump ba-bump______-ah, what are you doing to me??  Dubirubiruraffa

Dubirubiru dubirubiru... ~ and so our friendship is as strong as like the day we first met. back when we were kids. but now there are differences. my voice got deeper, I grew taller and became even more active and athletic. I'm now in High School. but that doesn't mean I forgot ________.  who is now beautiful like a daughter of the God of Sea himself. Still ivory skinned, brown eyes with her long eyeleashes, Hair that extends unto her stomach, golden brown and beautiful like the perfect soft waves of the sea. Her tail, with the color of Jade and fins that dances in the water, soft as silk.as I walk heading towards home, I saw my teacher, back when I was in kindergarten, having a cup of coffee by the store. I was about to greet her and ask a question, but then I saw a man coming towards her direction and gave her a kiss on the cheek. He was her husband. then everything flashed into me. we all are given to eyes to see, two ears to hear, but only one heart  to find the perfect half.I saw _______. her deep brown eyes, laugh like the bells, face as if it's kissed by angels, how her hand perfectly fits mine, the feeling of wanting her to safe and especially how I would want the time to stop whenever we're together. All of this might be impossible to believe. but one thing I know for sure; I'm inlove with her. I'm inlove with ______.    Haruga gago bami omyeon

Eotteokhae haran maringayoI ran as fast as I could to the bedrocks to see her. ______-ah. I'll confess and God knows how much I wish for her to feel the same."________-ah! ________-ah!" she's not here. I wen't down to the smaller rocks. only a bit closer to the water to see if she''s gone under. I saw her sitting by the other side on a smaller rock with her hands playing with water. I quickly rolled up my pants and took off my shoes and socks. "Donghae-ah!" She seemed surprised. We always meet by Saturdays but today I visited earlier. I can't wait longer until tomorrow.  I just can't even seem to wipe off the smile in my face.  "_______-ah please listen. Do you like me?" "of course I do" she gave me a soft smile while I sat infront of her and help her hand."Would it be okay if you like me more that what we are?" I asked with eagerness in my eyes. "I Love You, _______-ah. I do. I feel my heart always throbbing whenever I'm with you. as if it wants to come out and be a part of you. You are my other half _______-ah. the other half of my heart that I should share with."tears are forming into her eyes. "Donghae. I-I--  *faint laugh*" as she gave a soft stroke to my left cheek. she was speechless. but please give me an answer. "Do you love me the way I do to you?" I pressed. ".....Yes" she said softly, with her hand now on both sides of my face. and smile that is ever so lovely. then suddenly her smile dropped, a worried expression flashed unto hers. and suddenly tears are formed. "But I can't" she whispered. "w-what, why?? but you said y-you" I kept on stuttering. what is wrong? what does she mean she can't?? she quickly calmed me down as she put her forehead in mine."I'm not human. so I can't. Find someone better. Someone like you. I'm sorry" She said while tears streamed down from my eyes. "Please, I'll do everything. we can work this out! I'll always be with you!! I don't care how we maybe different what I know is I love you!!"I looked into her deep brown eyes once again. only to see her with a pained yet stern look"No, don't.." She said as she wiped of my tears, not bothering to wipe hers."Don't throw away your future. did you forget what you told me? what you wanted to become?  Follow your dreams. Be a singer, let everyone here your voice. Find someone who can give you a family." "you said you won't end up like in that story.""I won't be gone forever" She whispered into my hear."We'll meet once again and from that moment on we'll be together. If you miss me, just look into the sea. no matter how far you may, I'll be sure to exist in your heart. that is my promise""I'll be back. Promise me you'll have your future" She moved closer to me. "promise me." "I promise" replied with my eyes shut. No matter how painful. I'll keep my promise to you. "I Love you" she said as she moved even closer. hoping that her lips to touch mine before she leaves, I opened my eyes and she simply vanished. instead the soft breeze and the sound of silent waves greeted my face. She's gone. I'll keep my promise, _________ , as I hope you'll hold on yours.  Dalbichi neomuna johaseo

Jamsiman aju jamsiman 60 years. I've kept my promise. I've been a singer, reached my dream for everyone to hear my singing voice. I have a Family and a whole bunch of Granchildren. Married to Yoona, a kind and gentle woman, we were labelmates when we were younger. the thing I like about her is, she believes me. unlike others who thinks I'm delusional to meet a mermaid, she believes and appreciates the love I have even for a complete stranger to her. but now she's gone. resting up above. I can't go up yet. I have to see her. I have to feel the cool breeze and the smell of the sea, the sparkling crystal blue water, and the soft waves that reminds me of her hair. I asked our driver to get me to the beach. I'm all alone for now. my children have their own work to do. My grandchildren has their school today. I'm now nothing but an old man, weak in the knees, voice hardly heard and hearing a bit deaf. skin like dried apricot and hands shaking that is unstoppable and sight is a tad bit blurry.then we arrived to the beach. I reached for my cane while the driver assisted me going down the car."I can walk myself from her now, thank you" I said in a raspy voice. then walked forward until the water touched my feet. I took a deep breath. This is it, I guess. Dubirubiruraffa
