dude… I fear that siren’s gambit has cursed me bcuz wtf do you mean when I tell u what I found as the note in the book I’m starting… “there was once a mermaid who loved nothing more than a beautiful conch shell she brought with her everywhere. A sailor, noticing her affection for the conch, stole it. He believed he could trick the mermaid into thinking she’d lost her prized possession, and that she would fall in love with him once he returned it. But the mermaid was too clever for his tricks. She shed her fins in favor of feet and went ashore to hunt the sailor down. Upon finding him, she ripped his heart out, ate it, then returned to the sea with her conch in hand…” like bro I know it’s not the EXACT context, but this being the first book I’m picking up after reading your story, and for this passages context to NOT be the premise of the book at all. A girl was shocked. Now I fear that I will be reading this work as a Hongjoong fan fiction, thank you.
