➱ Immortal! Lee Jihoon x Mortal! Reader
➱ fluff, slight angst, immortal x mortal au
➱ Jihoon lures you in and your vast heart is willing.
You suppose this is your fault. Your heart is simply too stubborn, crossing its arms whenever your brain confronts it. Confronts your heart that the relationship between you and the god of the ocean is not meant to be. Confronts your heart to be careful, to not give your heart away so easily.
After all, his presence is immortal and your presence is fleeting.
But how can you hold your ground when Jihoon makes you feel timeless? Like the world comes to a standstill whenever you are in his arms. Like the world stops spinning when the cadence of his laugh fills you with warmth. So, when it comes to say goodbye; when he is called to return to his realm, you can’t help the sadness that consumes you.
It is a reminder that he is not yours to care for, to look after. To love.
The sun is setting, painting the sky in a blend of oranges, yellows and pinks. Jihoon’s hand is soft to hold as you dig your feet into the sand. The waves, once loud and rough, seem to calm down in his presence.
“If I was a mortal, where do you think I would be raised?”
You don’t hesitate to answer, “the beach. Anywhere near a vast body of water is where you belong.”
Jihoon leans in close, his thumb brushing your cheek. “You know, with your penchant to flirt with me all the time, I thought you would say something else.”
