"No siren did ever so charm the ear of the listener as the listening ear has charmed the soul of the siren."
~Henry Taylor~

"No way."

"Yes way."

"No, it's not."

"Yes, it is."

"But how? Last time I checked, I am sinking in the waters of the Pacific." I reasoned.

Yoongi shrugged. He told me his name when I refused to call him "Captain Min". He even threatened to feed me to piranhas and sharks if I don't call him that way but of course, I have my way with him.

Who wouldn't if their precious gold coins is in the "safe premises" of my hand.

"I told you countless of times that I have no clue where in the world is that ocean named "Pacific"." Yoongi stated bitterly, his eyes watching my hand that is playing with his treasure. "There is only one ocean and it's named Tethys."

I frowned at him before rolling my eyes. "Give me a map."

He raised the brow above his scarred eye. "Who told you that I have one?"

"No one. I just happen to see it peaking under your trousers captain." I mocked, stretching my free hand out to him.

"Give me my treasure and I'll let you borrow my map." Yoongi proposed.

I clicked my tongue before picking one gold coin out of it's sack. "How 'bout you give me your map so this gold coin won't say bye bye?"

He shoot me a glare before tossing the worn out paper in my direction. I smiled victoriously putting the gold coin back on its sack.

"I should've known that the woman I brought with me is such a nuisance." Yoongi muttered to himself as if I can't hear him.

"I heard that~" I sang out on purpose.

"Of course you'll hear it unless you're deaf, lassie." He said with a very obvious hint of sarcasm in his deep voice.

Instead of jesting him again, I focused on the odd places in the map. The map may be worn out and old but I could still enumerate the words and lines littering it. It is somewhat ripped at the top edge but I don't mind as long as I could read its contents.

Tethys Ocean.

Eurasia.

Antartica.

South America.

North America.

Africa.

How odd. There are only five continents and an ocean. You could even go by land if you want to go to another continent from another.

My brows furrowed. I think I saw this odd structure before.

I bit my lower lip trying my hardest to remember where did I saw it before. My eyes then trailed to the ripped part of the map.

Maybe the ripped part is something important.

"Captain Min." I called the man rowing the boat.

He turned to me and stopped rowing the boat for the tenth time today I think. An unamused look resting upon his handsome features.

"So you finally decided to call me that way?" He asked, sarcasm still dripping from his words.

I ignored his remarks and asked him about the ripped part of the map. Rolling his eyes, he answered my question

"It's just the name of the land. Nothing important."

I raised a brow at him. That's not the answer I wanted to hear.

"I'll be very happy to drop this sack I'm holding, right here, right now." I threatened to which he snickered in return.

"You wouldn't do that, lassie." He stated, venom lacing his words.

"Why not?" I challenged.

"Because I'm not going to hesitate on drowning you, right here, right now."
He threatened back.

I held the sack near the waters, my eyes fixed on Yoongi. "Try-"

"Come with me"

A sweet voice cooed in my ears making me halt on my words. I looked around searching for its owner and I suddenly feel lightheaded.

"Try what? Did you ran out of your empty threats, lassie?" I heard Yoongi mocked but it felt like he's very far away from where I am and not infront of me.

"Y/N, come with me"

The voice echoed repeatedly like it's inside my head. I shut my eyes tight, trying to shake it away.

"Y/N, listen to my call and come with me"

This time, I could recognize the voice calling me. He's telling me to come to him and go home. Together.

"Lassie......? Are........ you........... fine?" Someone asked but I didn't have time to think who it was. My mind is focused on one thing.

"Sweetheart, come with me"

Jungkook. It's Jungkook's voice.

I opened my eyes again and I saw Jungkook from a distance. He smiled sweetly at me before swimming towards the boat I am in, using his fascinating purple tail. He came back up into the surface when he's close enough to the boat. He smiled again and I smiled in return. I could really get lost in his eyes without even realizing it.

He held his hand up for me and I was about to grab his outstretched hand when someone blocked my view.

"She's not interested on sirens, buddy. Go away before I turn you into our dinner tonight." Yoongi growled.

I furrowed my brows trying to shove Yoongi away so I could get to Jungkook. "Why are you hiding me from him?!" I yelled but Yoongi didn't budge.

"Give her to me. She's already enchanted by my voice. She won't listen to you even if you yell at her." Jungkook laughed, his laughter making me giggle.

Yoongi cringed glancing my way before facing Jungkook again. "Who told you that I'm going to yell at her?" Yoongi stated, one of his hands making its way towards his belt. "You should know that she doesn't listen to nagging at all."

A scream erupted from Jungkook and I watched in horror as his face began to morph on its own accord. Yoongi threw a powdered substance at him, resulting to his misery. The face of my lover being replaced by an ugly fish-like monster.

"Go find another victim siren, my lassie here is not available." Yoongi spat.

The monster hissed before swimming away from us not before speaking his last words.

"She should be killed. She'll bring bad luck in Pangaea and Tethys"

I turned to Yoongi, who's now securing the sack of golden coins in his trouser's pocket. My eyes blinking repeatedly.

"What just happened?" I asked, my eyes still blinking and my head pounding like crazy.

"A siren almost sang you to your death, lassie." Yoongi grumbled. "You should be thankful that I didn't let him kill you when you threatened to make my treasure vanish countless of times today."

Still with the headache messing with my system, I asked him another question.

"Why didn't it affect you? Why am I the only one affected by his call?"

"He's a male siren. He sings women to their death while females sang men to their death." Yoongi answered.

I shook my head, squinting my eyes in the process. "I didn't know that sirens are real."

"Well they're more real than ever. Besides, they're not the only dangerous creatures in the Tethys." Yoongi stated, sending a faraway look towards the ocean.

"What else?" I asked.

He sighed, closing his eyes.

"Crocodiles."
