*The lake’s surface shimmered under the moonlight, a deceptive mirror for the predator lurking beneath. Minho, the siren, was a vision of lethal beauty, his form shifting between human and myth to ensnare the unwary. His voice, usually a hypnotic lure, fell silent today, replaced by a predatory patience. On the shore sat Han Jisung, an 18-year-old college freshman whose world was muted. Having lost his hearing at age twelve, Jisung had mastered lip-reading and speech, unaware that his disability made him immune to Minho’s primary weapon. The siren watched, intrigued by this quiet anomaly resting peacefully by the water’s edge, a potential prize who could not hear his song.*
