Where You Are

Description

Junmyeon had heard tales of merfolk, but had always considered them a myth. After he's saved by a merman, he finds himself questioning more than just the validity of the old sailors' tales. Instead, his thoughts are constantly drawn to the beautiful being that saved his life.

Such a wonderful story. Subaek is lovely as ever. Chanchen are irritating at first but later on they become good friends with not so handsome version of Prince Junmyeon. Loved it❤️.

Chapter 2: I didn't want to read this actually. BUT because I love you and your stories I did it. It sounded interesting and wow you surprised me a lot! I love it (as expected)
Joonmyeon is a silly brat ... but he even considert suicide so ... let's be happy, that he is an idiot and went to the witch ^^
Baek is wonderful *-* and Chen and Chanyeol are kinda s XD but they warmed up to Joonmyeon and they were nice to him :D
I love their interaction as friends and how Baek and Joon made everything for each other <3
Let's be realistic everyone would die for our cute Baekiboy ㅋㅋㅋ
Thank you for another wonderful story
I look forward for more hihi

Chapter 2: You got me at Xiumin-Baekhyun, then at Sehun-Suho, now you got me again with Joonmyeon-Baekhyun <3 thank you for your wonderful masterpieces~

Honestly, when i started reading this, i thought it be the usual "mermaid(man) wants to be human" kind of story. But i just kept reading because its you, and i know your works are so wonderful. But then, as i kept on reading, i got the biggest shock of the day when it was the human that wanted to be a mermaid(man). I was in a study center when i read this (because college exams urgh) and it was so quiet cause everyone's studying and i swear, i kept on squeeling like a pig stuck in a fence. It was so unlady-like. Lol. But its worth it. Your stories are worth it!!

It's sad that joonmyeon had to leave hyunsik behind :( But i'm glad that he's happy and free with baekhyun :)

Keep being wonderful~ you have a wonderful talent of writing~

Chapter 2: I have low key always wanted you to do a mermaid(man) story. I love your writing style. All of your stories are as near as perfection as you can get (in my opinion) and I just instantly fall in love with all of them. So this is like a dream come true. I love Fantasy/mythology? creature stories. They are my absolute favorite. This just made me so happy. Thank you!! :))) <3

Chapter 2: What a relief to see subaek found their happy ever after in the end.. I was dreading if this story in the end turns suho into bubbles like in The Little Mermaid tale..

Chapter 2: I don't even ship subaek but this story was fantastic! It low-key gave me The Little Mermaid vibes with the fork thing and losing something from oneself to try and get someone's love. And Junmyeon. Oh boy. The crazy contract he got into for love. Baekhyun was so sweet in this, especially when he accepted junmyeon even when he was dusfigured. Clumsy and stuck chanyeol and blunt jongdae were also great as well. Hyunsik allowing Junmyeon to be with the one he truly loves was so bittersweet. I was really moved by that moment. Mermaid aus are totally nonexistent for exo (or have I not looked hard enough idk I only read 1 other one) so I was super intrigued from the start. I love these interesting story ideas!
