Neela
A Mermaid's Tale
Narrator's pov:
Woohyun blinked wonfused and stared at his grandfather and the mysterious woman. He was sitting next to Marna, who was sitting next to Neela. Sori sat next to Woohyun on his other side.
On the table were cups with drinks and two of them were filled with green tea.
Key looked at his cup and cracked a smile before he chuckled softly.
"Who would have thought I would meet you again, like this especially." Key started, making everyone turn their attention to the speaker.
"I never thought I would come to the land ever again either."
Marna frowned at this.
She didn't know. She didn't know at all that Neela walked on the land befoer.
"You haven't changed..." Key muttered softly.
"You haven't changed either." Neela smiled.
"Liar." Key scoffed. "I turned much older. It's been such a long time too since the last time we saw each other." Key added and a soft sigh left his dry and wrinkled lips.
"You may have turned older, but that didn't stop me from recognizing you."
"Well, if you would have forgotten about me, then you would have hurt my feelings." Key acted, giving her a cheeky grin.
It was weird.
Woohyun never saw his grandfather in this way, so excited and well.... different.
"How... are you...?" Key asked a bit hesitant, he wasn't sure how he should have asked that question, but he wanted to know, how her life had been after she returned to the sea.
"It's been... good." Neela smiled but Key noticed that sad shine in her eyes that quickly disappeared again after she sipped from her tea.
"I missed your green tea." Neela whispered and tok another small gulp.
Key just smiled as he played with his wrinkled fingers. He was curious to ask, to ask why Neela turned into a human again and if she could why she didn't do it earlier or why suddenly now?
He was extremely curious but he didnt' ask. No, this wasn't something to ask jsut like that, if she would tell it on her own then he wouldn't ignore her words, but asking it, no... Key wasn't planning on doing that.
"And these are?" Neela suddenly asked, looking at Woohyun and Sori, both listening and looking at her with curious eyes.
"This is Woohyun. Nam Woohyun. He's my grand
