    Summary

    In the framed photograph in Yoongi's bedroom, Seokjin is sandwiched between Jeongguk and Jimin. Glinting scale, flared flukes, bare skin, a pair of light-wash jeans. A boy and his mermaids.

    Yoongi still wishes he’d gotten a photo of all of them, with Namjoon and Hoseok and Taehyung too, when they were all in one place, but it hadn’t crossed his mind back then. This time, they’ll all go to the beach together.

    —Or, an epilogue to their whale of a tale.

    Summary

    jeongguk didn’t lose an eye, probably because the healers were able to salvage it with magic. but they clearly couldn’t do anything about the rest of the wound—there are two massive, jagged scars running from just over the top of jeongguk’s left eyebrow to nearly his jaw, one going right through his eye and the other curving around his cheek. they’re claw marks, something only a beast could have left. they mar jeongguk’s face—his tiny, tiny face. it looks like something straight out of a horror movie.

    but—yoongi knows. he knows, even at the age of seven, that making jeongguk feel like something out of a horror movie is the worst thing he can do.

    so yoongi says, “man. why do you get the wicked scar?”

    (or: as far as the magical world cares, werewolves are monsters. yoongi does his best to show jeongguk otherwise.)

    Summary

    The longer Yoongi hangs around the tank in the aquarium, the more he thinks that Seokjin is, in fact, a real mermaid.

    “You’re really real,” he says, keeping his voice neutral. “You’re not acting, are you?”

    Seokjin smiles, yet it’s the saddest Yoongi has seen him. “I am acting, though. I’m pretending to pretend to be a mermaid.”

    Summary

    According to Seokjin, marigolds are the funniest flowers. When he opens the shop in the morning, they greet him with the best jokes while the roses scoff petulantly, as if they’re too good for a pun or two.

    Yoongi can’t hear the marigolds. But he watches Seokjin giggle madly to himself while he waters the flowers during his afternoon rounds, so Yoongi believes Seokjin nonetheless.

    Or, as the marigolds would say, Yoongi beleafs him.
