Dive into the Ocean, Walk into the Path

Chapter 41

Hey Hey Hey~ Happy Birthday Bokuto Koutarou! HAHAHAH char (sorry na, nag-simp lang konti)

Anyways, I want to explain something here. Well, some of you were getting confused about Sunoo's life in the land, so lemme explain it to you. Since Sunoo and Jake split up that certain day, Sunoo just decided to live away from the former Veleno members because he wanted to wait for Jake's return in the land, so with that, the first time that the others saw him again in the land was when Jungwon meet him in Seoul. They didn't know what happened to Jake and him since the day they left. The end HAHAHAH char

Okay, let's get into the story, besties! (I have something for you at  the last part)

"Anyways, have you done signing these?" Yoongi asked as he looked at the papers, making Jake nod happily.

"Yup! I've already read and signed everything. See, I'm such a diligent prince" Jake said, grinning, the reason for Yoongi to ruffle his hair with a chuckle.

"I know, I know. You'd be a great King, Jake. I'm glad that there's someone to handle the kingdom when I already left" Yoongi said and sat properly on the seat, making Jake look at him with furrowed eyebrows.

"Stop saying that as if you are leaving the ocean" Jake said as Yoongi sighed in his place.

"Yes, I am. That's why I am having this talk with you"

Jake was so shocked at the statement. Hearing this from his father was very alarming.

"You're leaving the ocean? Why?" he asked in such a worried tone, making Yoongi chuckle as he ruffled his son's hair.

"Look, Jaeyoon. I did shit in this kingdom. I've done lots of damage and killed so many mermen under my kingdom" he said and lowered his head. "Even though I did my best to apologize and do everything that I can do to fix this kingdom, my conscience was telling me to leave, I don't belong here anymore, Jaeyoon. I don't deserve to stay here as if I did nothing. It was mentally torturing me that's why I am talking to you right now"

"Are you sure about it, dad? Don't make decisions that you will regret" Jake said.

"Jaeyoon, I am regretting my existence here in the ocean so I really want to leave for peace of mind. Staying in the land as if a normal person will be better than sitting on the throne with merfolk looking at me as if I am a criminal" he said, his eyes begging for forgiveness, full of pain and agony. "I already talked with your mother about it too, Jaeyoon. I've already decided" he said and sighed.

And with that, Jake stared at him with mercy. "I didn't know that's how you feel"

"I want to leave already, Jaeyoon. I want to give peace in Sapphirila. I've done enough, I've hurt enough" he said and used his hands to hide his face.

"I want to leave already! I want to go far! I want peace inside of me, I want to..." he said, voice cracking and trembling. He stopped himself from speaking when a tear fell from his eyes. "...I want to leave, Jaeyoon. Staying here is mentally torturing me" he said, almost a whisper as Jake scooted closer to him and embraced him tight.

"I... I wish there's a way to get away here quick" he whispered in Jake's ears, making Jake purse his lips.

But what they both don't know, there's something that heard him aside from both of them.

And with that, as Jake rubbed his father's back gently, he saw something shining so brightly on his own wrist, making him turn his attention to it. Eyes-wide, Jake watched the ENGENE bracelet shine bright on his wrist, then just in seconds, it stopped. Jake was so shocked and confused. What's happening? As far as he knows, all of the wishes are already used by its previous owners. Three wishes are already used.
