"Kui…." A soft voice whispered by his ear. "Kui…"
Kui opened his eyes in shock. But instead of seeing his familiar greying walls, he saw a bright blue ocean in front of him. cold sea wind caressed his stunned face.
"Huh…." He looked around. "What the heck…."
The soft fabric on his body fluttered with the salty sea wind. He grabbed a hold of his cloth in surprise. It was weightless, soft and slippery like silk. The corners were adorned with small pearls.
"What is this…" he tugged at it slightly. to his surprise the pearls that had been clasped by his shoulders popped off and the whole top slid off and pooled around his waist.
He hurriedly draped it over himself.
"Where am I…." he looked around. "What am I even wearing…" he could definitely feel the coldness underneath his butt which could only mean he was completely naked underneath this silk cloth.
The hard rock he was sitting on dug into his butt.
"Fuck… I was kidnapped in my sleep?!" he shot up. "Ow! What the…" Peering down, he noticed his slightly wrinkly feet was shoeless. Which was a very bad thing considering he was in some kind of raggedy limestone cave.
"Was it Dai Zu... god that bastard really goes above and beyond to fuck me off…" Kui frustratingly gazed around.
There was not a single boat in sight.
Kui took a deep breath to calm himself. "it's okay… I have to find ways to keep myself warm and find food…. Maybe fish…" he looked at the clear ocean. There were a few small fishes swimming around. "Yes fish… I can do it. I have to survive until I'm rescued."
With that determination in his mind, he pulled the silk top around his neck and secured it with a knot. After that, he started to walk around checking if there was any fresh water source in there.
"Kui…" someone called him from behind.
Startled, Kui jumped up accidentally stepping on a sharp rock. "hissss…"
A wet hand suddenly reached out from the dark cave gently holding his feet.
"AAHHH!!!" Kui recoiled back, hitting the back of the cave. It was dark and he couldn't see anything. "Dai Zu! I warn you If you touch me, I will definitely kill you. I'm not like before. I will not softly smile and let go of your mistakes… ill make your life into a living hell…"
"Kui…" the voice whispered from somewhere close.
'he's close…' Kui's breath came out in soft pants. 'I can't let him get close…' he hurriedly kicked out his leg in hopes of pushing him away.
To his surprise the cold hand grabbed a hold of his shin. "is your legs hurting." The soft voice whispered close to his ear.
Kui moved to the right to avoid the heated breath. "Dai! Zu!"
"Who's Dai Zu?" the voice whispered wounding an arm around his waist and pulling him back onto a cold hard body.
"Let go! Fucking let go..." Kui kicked and screamed but nothing could deter the arm around his waist.
"Who's Dai Zu Kui… hearing someone else's name from your mouth… it angers me..." a hand gently cupped his chin and pulled his face up. "This mouth shall only whisper my name... moan my name…"
"You… you lunatic!!" Kui slapped his face hard.
The man loosened his arm around his waist.
Hurriedly, Kui pushed him away and ran to the entrance of the cave. 'I need to get out of here… I... I can't swim though...' he stood at the edge looking into the blue ocean contemplating his life decision.
"I'm hurt…. My cheeks hurt..." the soft voice whispered.
Slowly the man's figure moved closer to the light.
A sturdy chest and eight-pack were the first thing he saw.
'that's definitely not Dai Zu... then who the fuck…'
Soon the handsome face came to light. The man's long black hair fluttered behind him and his shimmering blue eyes peered at him like he was a prey. "Are you trying to run Kui…"
Kui just blinked. He was very much familiar with that face. because he was the one who created it.
It was his merman!
But…
He gazed down. The merman had strong muscular legs and... that part!!!
Kui hurriedly closed his eyes. "You! You flasher! Did you change my clothes? How dare you! how dare you touch me!"
The merman did not move. He peered at him with his head tilted to the side. "Something is wrong… you feel different." The man's handsome brows frowned.
Kui slightly crouched down. 'if he comes any close, I'm willing to risk it. I'm jumping! I'm not going to be raped by a mad man...'
"You..." the man's warm eyes suddenly turned cold. "You're not Kui…. Who are you."
In a blink of an eye, the merman suddenly stood in front of him clutching his neck.
Kui gazed up in shock. "I'm Kui!"
"No… you're not my Kui…. Where is my Kui!!!"
the shrill scream tore through his ear drums. He hurriedly closed his eyes and cupped his ears.
His ears were ringing.
Kui shot up from his bed, panting. His whole body was drenched in sweat and weirdly his ears were still ringing from that scream.
He looked around in panic.
Thankfully, he was in his room. His familiar small dirty room.
'a dream… it was a dream…' he touched his neck.
It was slightly sore.
He hurriedly pushed his feet close and peered at it. the underside had deep pink welts.
'No that was not a dream… it was real.'
His terrified eyes fell on the drawer. 'The paint brush… it's because of it…'
