He never sees her. Joohyun realizes how cliche that is, especially since that's how that one red-headed mermaid (Amanda? Ariana? Something like that...) screwed up her life, but every time she sees his face, it's as if all rational thought leaves her and she suddenly finds herself back in her sea cave, curled up in an embarrassed ball that will probably die alone.
Besides, Taekwoon probably doesn't appreciate all the shells she leaves on his ship deck, or the piles of clams and oysters she brings every day. If anything, he probably thinks it's creepy how someone randomly drops off kelp clothing or coral crowns, and let's not even get started about how Joohyun stares at him through the cracks in his ship. It's not that Joohyun wants to be a stalker; she just doesn't know how he'll handle her tail. It's kind of long and scaly and definitely shiny because she works very hard to keep it oiled and moisturized, but it can't be that big of a deal-breaker, right? She can just flop after him on the ship or on land, not a big issue at all-

I'M ACTUALLY SCREAMING wow i love the switched pov actually because this is so cute and fluffy, and i love how taekwoon noticed her, but he just messes with her because it just makes it so much cuter ;; i'm literally in tears here. thank you so much for writing this!
Oh gosh Irene is absolutely made of pure adorable here! I love her pining ways, the things she leaves gifts for Taekwoon, how she worries about how Taekwoon might see her. And the tail, dear god, she keeps them moisturized I love your Irene so much. (I enjoyed the POV switch too.) Thank you for writing this! It's beautiful!
