The only sound that could be heard was the waves in the distance in a soothing melody. Heeseung took off his clothes and put them inside his black backpack, storing them in a place where he knew no one could find them, or at least he hoped so.
The young man's skin was itchy and sensitive most of the time after the accident in the cave, which was stressful, but even worse were the nausea and dizziness he sometimes felt, but as soon as his body came into contact with the water this strange sensation subsided. That's why he was there, to see if maybe the water on the beach would help him more.
The moment his body sank into the salty water, a shiver ran through him and finally all that strange sensation was gone for good. He let himself be embraced by the ocean and sank until his back touched the sand. He felt his heart at peace and the stress of the month fading away, he let himself lie there for long minutes just relaxing.
When he opened his eyes he saw small yellowish fish swimming around him in an unusual way, he reached out to try and touch them but something was different, his fingers had become longer and there was a thin layer of skin connecting them. A startled cry left his lips and his breathing became more and more shaky as he looked at how his hands looked, his skin had turned a slightly bluish color and was slightly rough as if it had scales but the most frightening thing was his legs, his swimming trunks had torn and were floating around him and the skin of his legs had joined together, sticking both legs together in what seemed to be turning into a sort of green "tail", yes like the tails in the cartoons he watched as a child.
- WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS? - He shouted desperately, wriggling his legs and trying to separate them somehow, but nothing seemed to work. It was then that he realized that he was breathing, he had been breathing underwater for some time - BUT WHAT THE FUCK?
He tried to move to the surface but it took him a while to figure out what to do with whatever had become his legs. When he managed to submerge himself, he felt his neck itch and when he touched it, he felt that there was a kind of gash on his neck that was slowly closing up. He noticed that when he left his hands out of the water, they would slowly return to normal, with only a slight mark where the skin connected, but when he put them back underwater, they would become that strange shape again. Heeseung stood there for a long time putting his hands in and taking them out of the water while he watched them change. It was then that he looked down at his legs and it occurred to him that maybe he could make them go back to normal, but then curiosity struck him.
He was a good few meters away from the beach and it would usually take him eight minutes to swim back, but how long would it take him to get there with this strange "tail"? As much as fear still ran through his body and he was on the verge of having a crisis, there was also the childish side of him that was curious to know what he could do with that "tail" - after all, he had to get there anyway. Heeseung sank into the water again and paid attention to the sensation of those little whites opening up again and the feeling of being able to breathe perfectly again. It took him a good few minutes to learn how to use his tail and when he understood what he needed to do, a slight smile came to his lips. Swimming was difficult at first, but then his body picked up speed, moving perfectly so that he was there in less than five minutes. When he reached the shore, he had to drag himself along the sand until he was far enough from the water; his legs took a little longer than his hands to return to normal and the process caused an uncomfortable burning sensation.
Heeseung lay on the sand completely naked as his body trembled and tears flowed from his eyes.
