[The Mermaid Prince]

We finally arrived.

It's pretty close, right?

Did you find it?

Of course! I found a really good restaurant.

What are we doing this trip?

- Alcohol! - Let's go.

Sir, we want another bottle over here, please! [Fishing Village Food Court]

Drinking during the day... feels so good...

Do you know what I hate to hear most?

My cute Nayeon, you are looking prettier today.

You should dress like this all the time.

Didn't our senior, "Pork Cutlet" say that?

Oh, I got chills! Ding-dong-deng!

Wow... the best senior. He carries our class on his shoulders.

Wow. He was seriously the best.

- You think this is funny? - Yeah.

Don't you know this? This is super in right now.

I think he's too young to know.

Does your head hurt?

I'm okay. I'm going to get some air.

I think I'm drunk.

It's been a while since I've been on a trip with my friends.

It would be nice if something special happened.

A person?

This is not the kind of "special" I was hoping for.

Excuse me.

What the...? Is he really drowning?

Excuse me!

Excuse–

Excuse me.

Excuse me!

Don't do this. Don't die.

Please don't do this.

No... Could you please let–

You're crazy! I can't let go!

It may have been because I was drunk.

I shouldn't be doing this.

Or it may have been the cold water.

You're good looking.

My heart was beating hard.

Foam.

Did you guys know?

If a mermaid doesn't receive love, she turns into foam.

That octopus said that. (T/N: he's referencing the villain, Ursula, in the Little Mermaid)

Ugh, so frustrating. Why would she give up her life for a man?

The cartoon Little Mermaid that we know ends up happy, right? She even has a wedding on a ship.

Yeah.

But in the original story, she doesn't obtain love,

she can't stab him with a knife, and ends up falling into the ocean.

- No way... - But this isn't a sad ending either.

Why? It sounds completely devastating.

The Little Mermaid's original plan was to become an immortal spirit.

Eh, being literary all of a sudden?

Somewhat like a spirit.

So when the Little Mermaid turns into foam, her spirit becomes a truly immortal spirit!

Well, I guess it's better than the usual prince rescuing them and living happily ever after.

- How are you going to date? - Hey.

Yes, yes. My point was that the Little Mermaid is a very modern work.

But you know... wouldn't the Little Mermaid be lonely if she's a spirit forever?

- What? - What's with the shift in mood?

Nothing. It was just a thought.

Loneliness?

What are you saying?

I figured it out.

- This is a revelation from the Lord for me to eat raw fish. - Amazing. And to have cold raw fish soup and soju.

Yangyang has the best cold raw fish soup!

Okay, good. The location is Yangyang.

We leave tomorrow.

Really? Tomorrow? I love it.

Seungmin, you're going, right?

- Really? - Good.

We're graduating soon, too.

Let's drink until we die!

Die!

Let's go to Yangyang!

Let's have cold raw fish soup and somaek!

What was that?

My head hurts.

I lost my mind. Of all things...

I slept in the sand? But why am I all wet?

Was it a dream?

It feels too real to have been a dream...

Hyeri! Hyeri! Where are you?

I'm over here...

Somewhere on the beach...

On the beach? No wonder. We looked all over for you.

Noona, hurry up!

I don't know... I think I drank too much.

We brought your stuff to our place,

so come to the address we sent you.

Okay. I'll hurry over.

Okay, be safe!

Where did she go?

I don't know. This place is really nice.

It's so cold!

Hey, are you okay? Aren't you cold?

What happened to you?

Now you're laying around on the beach now?

Aren't you scared of water, Noona?

This is why they say you become blind to everything when you're drunk.

I'm cold. Where's the room?

We just got here, too.

We were waiting because there was no one there.

The door is locked, so we can't even get a towel. Is there another entrance?

Did something happen to you? How are you feeling?

That's the thing. I think I hugged someone earlier–

What?

It took so long to find you.

♫ Baby boy, don't be gone for too long ♫

♫ I miss the smell of your cedar cologne. I need your photo to— ♫

Hey, where did you get that towel?

Yeah... Yeah.

It's the last room on the second floor.

- Aren't you going to take it? - Oh, yes!

Hyeri, your thing is breaking.

Hey. I said your stuff is really heavy!

I feel like I can live now.

We shouldn't have mixed our drinks.

The owner of this place is so good looking.

Honestly, I agree.

I sobered up as soon as I saw him earlier.

He's an unrealistic character.

Yeah, he's handsome and he's tall.

On top of that, he owns this place.

He didn't look much older than us, either.

Young and rich, too? He's perfect.

I need to make him my older brother.

Hey. Can you like someone just by touching them?

- Touch what? - I mean you start liking someone just by touching them.

Like if I touch you like this and hug you like this, do you think you'll start liking me?

What are you doing?

You can start growing attraction toward someone from physical contact. I say it's possible.

You think so?

Normally, you like the person

so you want to have physical contact. Right?

Seungmin, it sounds like you have experience.

When did you grow up so much?

Anyway, it could be a momentary feeling.

What about doing a test?

What kind of test?

Like if the second time you have physical contact,

your heart starts beating.

Hey, what a lustful person.

- He must be that man. - What do you mean?

You remember me getting all wet, right?

Now that you say that, I remember the owner was all wet, too.

Also... and he was seriously good looking.

The owner is also good looking.

I was walking on the beach earlier.

Then I saw a man with his clothes on walking into the ocean.

Was it suicide?

I don't know. I was so surprised that I ran up to him and hugged him.

You hugged him?

You hugged, then...

Sadly, I can't remember after that.

That was boring.

There was one thing I'm sure of... His arms were wrapped around my waist.

His arms were wrapped around your waist, and so...

And... my heart was racing.

So you mean that person is the owner of this place.

That's what it seems.

You two sound ridiculous.

I wasn't sure at first, but as soon as I saw his face I was sure of it.

- It's certain. - What is? - It's our owner.

- When did he become "our" owner? - You called him "big brother."

I called him "big brother," not "our big brother."

It's good. I'll call him our Mermaid Prince.

Ew, gross!

Nicknames are usually gross!

She's at it again.

Mermaid Prince...

Hyeri,

after coming to Yangyang, are you going to hit on our Mermaid Prince?

Hit on? What a joke! She just drank too much.

Hyeri, you have to be careful because he might not be a human.

Hey, I'm not like that. Aren't you two being too much? I'm not interested in him.

You're the one that's too much.

- You're so wrong. - Don't end up going into the ocean.

Excuse me...

Mister, you were the man who was at the ocean. Right?

I thought you were trying to kill yourself,

so that is why I ran to you.

You smelled of alcohol.

Anyone could have misunderstood at that moment.

You should take care of yourself first.

Okay.

- Forget it. - Huh?

Nothing happened actually.

I'm sorry for suddenly passing out.

You should get some rest before catching a cold.

But...

Don't touch me.

What's up with him?

Why is he a jerk?

It hurts. And he's mean.

It also feels weird this time. Why am I feeling so hot? It's like I'm fluttering.

No way! I can get angry too.

I was only worried about him. How could he just leave like that?

What the heck?

Why is the owner lying here?

Should I just touch him once?

Oh, fuck!

What is it? What's the matter? What? What?

It's you. Oh, and you.

What's wrong?

Nothing. Just sleep. Sleep, sleep, sleep.

I'm cold.

Hold on. I'll be right back.

Yes, it's that beach. Yes, please do.

I'm worried that the weather might cause trouble.

Yes, thank you.

It took so long to find you.

- No matter what, he's a bit suspicious. - Who are you?

- I work here. - We picked the wrong place to stay at.

Shouldn't this be your chance?

For what?

Is there really something he is hiding?

Then, how can I be cured?
