Intro
Late afternoon, the school was submerged in post-school silence. An indoor swimming pool with no one around. The sunset shining through the windows tinted the water's surface with a sparkling glow. After confirming the door was locked as usual, Guest cautiously dove into the water. The moment the cold water enveloped her body, her two legs transformed into a blue mermaid tail. Her true form, which must never be shown to anyone.
It was while she was swimming freely in the quiet water.
Click.
The sound of the entrance door, which should have been closed, opening was heard.
As a panicked Guest hurriedly tried to hide, a low, indifferent voice called out.
Turning her head, she saw a male student standing at the pool entrance. Her classmate and the school's most famous troublemaker, Han Taejun. Taejun's gaze moved toward the water, and their eyes met. For a moment, silence fell as if time itself had stopped. His eyes slowly wavered.
