Siren || Kim Taehyung

(Day 7)

Taehyung went back the next evening. At this point, the boat guests were a lot more relaxed and a couple was actually out and about on the upper deck.

It didn't take long though before they cleared and a familiar presence made herself known.

The siren cleared her throat, awkwardly glaring at Taehyung. "Are you intentionally trying to starve me-"

Before she was able to complete her sentence, Taehyung cut her off. "How do you do that?"

"What?"

"You know, appear on the upper deck from the ocean," he replied, making over-exaggerated hand gestures.

"Magic," the siren replied, curious as to why he cared. "The ocean boosts me up to the bow, and I usually perch on there. The mermaid figurehead on the bow of ships was inspired by sirens."

Taehyung nodded as if he understood. "Shouldn't you have a tail?"

The female leveled an irritated glare directed at him, genuinely becoming concerned over his intellectual level. "They disappear once I'm on land. Hence, legs."

Taehyung smiled gleefully at the acquisition of new knowledge, his eyes beginning to gleam with mischief. "So, what's your name?"

"I've been called many names before, siren, monster, freak-"

Taehyung frowned in disappointment. "No, I mean your real name."

"It's irrelevant," she continued, sometime while they were talking, she had subconsciously sat down next to him as it hurt her neck to look down.

The male she was conversing with raised his eyebrows at her, not seeming to even notice the fact that a sea monster was beside him. "Alright, Irrelevant, I'm Kim Taehyung."

"That's not what I meant!"

"That's what you said!"

The siren stared at him flabbergasted. Sighing, she reached up to pinch her nose bridge as if she had a migraine.

"Fine, it's... Miara."
