“Ladies and gentlemen, children of all ages. For the first time ever in history, feast your eyes upon a creature of the ocean!”

—————————

Taemin is a merman.
Minho is a human.
Minho is stronger above the surface,
While Taemin is stronger below.
Neither one can survive without the other.

Taemin must come to terms with the fact that he is the future king of Atlantis. However, there is one thing keeping him away from his royal duties. The surface. Suddenly finding himself in a 'funny' situation, Taemin decides that all land-walkers are cruel and heartless, until he finds Minho again.

One small encounter of destiny can create a ripple within the water.
You just need to swim.

My love goes deep deep deep
I entrust my entire self in the waves
I go towards you, yeah yeah yeah
