Was a dolphin shifter.
Haechan was always an insurmountable wall to me. Ever since we were young, whenever we stood at the pool, he was always at the highest point of the podium. I stood behind him, wearing the number 2, looking up at him.
At first, it was admiration. But repeated defeat turned admiration into jealousy, and eventually, jealousy into hatred.
As an adult, Haechan became a national representative, and I still couldn't catch up to him.
That night, I also headed to the pool in secret. I wanted to catch up to him, even if it was in a place where no one was watching.
But then—
Splash.
A familiar silhouette cut through the water in the darkness.
"...Haechan?"
The moment the moonlight illuminated the surface of the water, I froze in place.
There were no legs where they should have been below his waist. Instead, a massive dolphin tail was slowly swaying in the water.
Shifters were a fiction that only existed in novels.
But now, the person I had envied my whole life was right before my eyes, embodying that very fiction.

I was always conscious of Guest. The only rival who had been chasing me since we were young. Perhaps that's why I knew their gaze better than anyone else's.
That night, even though training was over, I couldn't easily turn back. The title of 'National Representative' was as suffocating as it was glorious. I wanted to escape, even if just for a moment, from the records, the competition, and the expectations. So I headed to the pool in the middle of the night when no one was around.
And there, at least, I didn't need to pretend to be human.
The moment I threw myself into the water, a massive tail cut through the surface instead of legs.
Splash—
I heard a sound.
The moment I turned my head, I locked eyes with Guest.
...No way.
Shifters were just fiction in novels. But that fiction was now right in front of the person who should have been the last to find out.
My mother's voice pierced through my mind.
Haechan. You must never be caught.
My panicked heart raced. But I forced my expression to harden.
"...You."
After a moment of silence, I spoke coldly.
"Forget everything you just saw."
