The weather is getting warmer now, are you interested in a night swim?

“A night swim with you?” Dohyun hummed as if in thought, the corners of his mouth lifting. “Who could pass up such an offer?”

Dohyun, your relationship with Serena is rather unique, how would you describe it?

“Mismatched counterparts who are able to form a harmonious bond. We aren’t too different from one another, yet we are. I think that’s what makes us unique and makes us work. We fit together like the ocean and a storm—we can be apart and serve our own purposes, but we can come together to form something dangerous.”

Serena was more of an open book than Dohyun. He was like an old journal kept closed with a lock whose key had been lost over time. All his secrets and experiences were kept locked and hidden away, forgotten under layers of dust—the latter in which he wished he could say for certain. They weren’t forgotten, as much as he tried to forget. Those secrets were very much prominent in his mind, always resting in the forefront so he could not overlook or ignore them. Hundreds of years later, they still plagued him. As much as he had grown to dislike himself and what he had done, the jikininki did not regret it. The actions still felt valid—it was the way he had done it that bothered him.

“I’m the one you deem worthy.” He said the words aloud as if he had to ponder them in order for them to make sense. It surprised him that throughout all these years Serena had not already found a mate. Someone as beautiful as the siren, someone who held the right amount of seductiveness and was as captivating as she was should have found a mate long ago. Were mates hard to come by as a siren, or was she like him and had not encountered another creature?

Dohyun had no time to fully react in surprised before he was submerged beneath the water, any noise coming from him suddenly engulfed by the ocean. It was unexpected—Serena was the unpredictable type, apparently. If he were human, maybe more of a reaction would have been pulled out of him out of the fear of drowning. As an immortal, nothing negative could come from such an action. He couldn’t drown and die, but he could be uncomfortable and feel the torment a lack of oxygen provided.

The moment Serena’s lips touched his, he wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her against himself. Her actions confused him; Dohyun lacked details when it came to sirens. He felt her breathe into his mouth, further confusing him until the siren pulled away. Was this some sort of way for him to exist comfortably beneath the water? Was it a tradeoff that only sirens could pass along? Deciding that this is another lesson in sirens, Dohyun followed Serena's lead and breathed in.

Dohyun could see her eyes looking curiously at the scar. Parts of the past were meant to remain there, and the issues he’d faced belong in that category. It wasn’t because he didn’t want Serena to know—if he were to open himself up and expose himself to anyone, it would be the siren. There was no one else anyway. He trusted her and knew there was no judgement. The mistakes he’d made and the repercussions wouldn’t disappoint her. He didn’t want to remember; his past was riddled with anger, pain and violence. It was a combination he’d rather not think about should phantom feelings return. He didn’t want to feel even an ounce of it again. At some point he would like to tell Serena, but that would take time

“Exquisite” sounded like an odd work when associated with himself. Maybe it was because Dohyun never thought very highly of himself, if at all. The way Serena always looks at and compliments him felt foreign. It wasn’t unappreciated—it felt nice to be viewed as anything other than just a monster. If Serena liked this form, who was he to disagree with her opinion?

The body she was looking at contrasted to what it once was. Once muscular arms had loss their definition—an area he had been proud of, specifically the deltoid, triceps and biceps. The pectoral muscles were a far cry from what they had been, the firm muscle having atrophied along with every other muscle he spent time meticulously training. What did it matter anymore? Aesthetics meant nothing, nor did he care how he looked after dying.

“You always have a compliment ready.” He stepped further into the water. Truth be told Dohyun rarely spent time in water both during his mortal days and now. Because he lived indoors like a caged bird, swimming was a skill he never possessed. It wasn’t like it mattered that he couldn’t; a creature can’t die if they’re already dead and forced into immortality.

When Serena pulled herself away, Dohyun could have pouted if he were the type to do so—but he’s not, so he reluctantly let her go. He’d almost forgotten they had plans for a night swim, and it was best to get in the water before he started getting too far in his head about his life. That could be dwelled on later. For now he just wanted to focus on Serena and seeing her in her element.

He still wasn’t used to walking on the sand and the way it felt beneath him. Beaches were never a part of his mortal life, so he didn’t have that experience. Having Serena introduce him to it gave it more meaning because she needed the beach. He could no longer think of one without thinking of the other, which meant he’s grown to love the beach as well.

He removed his turtleneck and let it lay with Serena’s dress. The last time, he hadn’t bothered to remove clothing. This time he could, to a point, but even just a shirt was awkward and somewhat uncomfortable. The scars from the past were visible, and he preferred them to be covered. Swimming in a turtleneck neck wasn’t ideal, though—the fabric irritated his skin when wet which made the area around the scar itchy. Besides, he couldn’t let Serena be the only one without clothing on.

No matter how much he denied it, that charming singing always got Dohyun’s attention. She wasn’t trying—to his knowledge—yet it still made him instantly walk toward her. He took her hand when he was close enough and walked further into the water.

“I killed innocent people.” In the moment they didn’t seem innocent. They were against him. That’s what he had convinced himself. But what did it matter if he killed innocent people then? He kills innocent people now, and he couldn’t care less. Killing humans meant survival, and he would never feel remorse for ridding the world of them.

Serena wasn’t meant to be someone he fell for—originally she was a target he had greatly misjudged. That walk to the club had an impact on the two creatures, and Dohyun had been under her spell ever since. Not literally—he still denies it’s possible despite evidence. The woman had carved a little place for herself in his being and became the most important individual who’s ever been in his life. Their bond was unique from the beginning, and special was the only way to deny it. They were special.

Dohyun smiled against her lips and didn’t respond—there was no need to. She’d made her point and convinced him. As always she gave him a new perspective when he needed it, and maybe he was beginning to like himself just a tiny bit more.

His mortal life. It wasn't something Dohyun liked to dwell on for too long. His past allowed him to look at the world from another perspective, one that Serena wouldn't understand. Murder was the ultimate sin, and he had committed many. It felt endless in those moments, yet he felt no remorse. That lack of remorse made him aware of his lack of specialness. But Serena always had a way with words that altered his thoughts.

What they had was special. He couldn't deny it and wouldn't. Had he not murdered so senselessly in that blind rage, they would have never met. Dohyun would have had a completely different life. One that would pale in comparison. "You make me even less remorseful for my actions." Feeling remorse would only cause his soul to be free, or so he assumed. "You always succeed in changing my view of myself. I'm special because you've made me that way. You've found something in me that means something."

A low chuckle emitted from him. Cute was a word he sometimes used in relation to Serena. Those moments she failed to speak as a human would made him smile. He always knew what she meant nonetheless.

"We are special to one another." He repeated, leaning in to kiss her again as his arms tightened around her waist.

[nvrendngstry]

Dohyun’s quick answer would be a very blunt, very deadpanned “No” if he were speaking to anyone else—if he knew anyone else. But this was Serena, and he couldn’t respond in such a way. While he could still be truthful, he couldn’t deliver the words like that. He took a brief moment to think, then shook his head. “I don’t believe someone “special” would do the things I’ve done. In my mortal life, I mean. Of course no one does the things I do now.” No, someone defined as Special would never kill senselessly like he had—although he thought there has been a valid reason at the time. “It would be impossible for that beauty to ever fade. That’s like asking if your beauty could fade, and that could never happen. Yours only grows and so does our moments together.”

His hands settled on her waist, tugging her closer to his body. “As special as I am?” Dohyun raised an eyebrow—Special wasn’t a word he’d ever heard associated with him, nor was it anything he’d relate to himself. Murderers aren’t usually defined with such a word. “I think the beauty lies more in sharing the moment with you.”
