“Hey, Chadoha. Today is grandmother’s death anniversary…”
“Brother.”
Interrupting Inwoo’s words, Doha grinned.
“When have you ever seen me attend a family event?”
Why do you ask knowing that?
Doha tapped Inwoo’s shoulder and put his phone in his pocket, then looked at the elevator panel adding numbers.
It was a gesture indicating there was no more to talk about.
But Inwoo kept nagging.
“From this year, you must attend all events. Now you are the face of our Hanju Group. You should meet people from other groups too…”
“President Chainwoo.”
Doha, removing the smile from his face, captured Inwoo with a cold gaze.
“Why are you doing this?”
His eyes, skewed in rebellion, were unmistakable.
Approaching Inwoo, Doha, despite being two years younger, was overwhelmingly assertive.
“Do you really not know or pretend not to know what it means for me to become the face of Hanju?”
Doha whispered softly in Inwoo’s ear as he approached him closely.
“And if a rascal like me becomes the face, Hanju will collapse. Then the family business passed down for three generations will be destroyed.”
Doha’s face brightened with a faint smile as he withdrew his lips.
“So, persuade grandfather well. Tell him not to say nonsensical things. Okay?”
As the elevator arrived, Doha stepped in, nodding slightly to Inwoo.
“Then, I’m off.”
Inwoo, looking flustered beyond the closing doors, reached out to him. Doha smiled at him once more before the doors completely closed, and then the smile disappeared.
No more false smiles came out due to the too obvious tricks of the family elders.
Thus, Doha, having gone down to the underground parking lot, paused for a moment.
He found someone standing in front of his car with an anxious face.
A clean short-sleeved blouse, H-line skirt, neat shoes, hair tied up, and even glasses. Doha snorted at the sight, which seemed stiff beyond neatness.
Then he resumed walking toward his car.
The woman who noticed him straightened her back and approached.
Doha, giving her a cold look, opened his mouth.
“Back to your original look?”
No, she appears even more combative than before.
This woman seems to think her glasses and tied-up hair serve as her shield and battle attire.
I couldn’t help but laugh at that, which was funny.
Then her shoulders slightly narrowed.
I could see faint veins rising on her white neck before disappearing again.
It looked like she was biting her back teeth.
“Your expression is quite combative, but it doesn’t seem like you came to fight with me.”
At that remark, a pink hue spread across her pale face.
“Why did you come?”
I asked, watching her face slowly flush.
I couldn’t take my eyes off the pink hue extending to her ears.
Then she gave a funny answer.
“Udon.”
Her moist lips moved, and then she calmly spoke.
“I came to repay you for the udon. Would you like to have dinner together if you have time?”
It was amusing.
Repaying for a six thousand won udon meal.
To me, Chadoha.
“Is this a sales pitch? Or a date request?”
I intended to scold her no matter which way she answered.
But then, she asked back with her deep brown eyes mysteriously sparkling.
“Which one would allow us to have a meal together?”
Asking me for an answer, she really was a frivolous woman as I thought.
Chadoha smirked and tilted his head slightly, taking her in.
“Either way, it’s a bit difficult.”
I should harshly rebuke and send her away, but oddly, I was a bit curious about what more she would say.
“I don’t really want to go anywhere with you looking like that. I’m a bit particular about visuals.”
I sneered crookedly and gestured at her glasses.
I didn’t forget to mix a sneer as if disliking her.
Then, the woman, her ears flushed red, boldly asked back, lifting her chin.
“Was the last time better?”
Her voice, tense and trembling, and her reddened eyes, trying to hide her embarrassment, subtly provoked my sadistic desire.
“Better than this?”
Should I make her cry? Then this uncomfortable irritation might disappear.
That’s when I thought so.
The woman, biting her plump lips, took off her glasses.
Her moist, deep brown eyes clearly fixed on me.
“How about this?”
She raised her hand and untied her hair.
Her fine hair fluttered down over her shoulders.
“Will you have dinner with me like this?”
Ah, how absurd.
I turned my head to the side, snickering.
Such a ridiculous woman.
And the funnier thing was, even though it was annoying, it wasn’t a bad feeling.
Finally, a soft laugh escaped my lips.
As our eyes met while laughing, her ears reddened even more.
Watching her, Doha took out his phone.
Even as he made the call, his gaze didn’t leave her.
“Director Kwon?”
Her face, trembling flutteringly with every sound of his voice, was amusing to watch.
“I guess I’ll have to drink alone today?”
The black pupil in her deep brown eyes seemed a bit larger.
“Then wait.”
The sight of her red tongue sweeping her plump lips, seemingly parched with nervousness, was quite a sight.
After hanging up, her fist gripping her handbag tightened.
Looking at her, I slowly opened my mouth.
“One hour from now.”
Her eyes, full of anticipation, captured him steadily.
“Is that okay with you?”
A flicker of joy seemed to cross her brown eyes.
“That’s enough.”
I quite liked that response.

When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
