Eun Woo wiped his hands with a wet wipe, took the prawn, and skillfully twisted it, extracting the flesh cleanly from the tail.
“How did you do that?”
“Well.”
Just a single word, and he was done.
No surprise there. Eun Woo was exceptionally skilled with his hands. Large hands capable of delicate surgery could easily handle peeling a shrimp.
“Eun Woo is good at everything.”
“…”
Eun Woo just smiled in response. Seol Hee wasn’t sure why he smiled but picked up another prawn, mumbling,
“Really good at everything. It’s enviable.”
“Just leave everything to me, who’s good at everything, and you just enjoy eating.”
He dipped the shrimp in sauce and offered it to Seol Hee. She reached out to take it, but he shook his head.
“You’ll get sauce on your hands. Say ‘ah’.”
“…”
“Come on, say ‘ah’.”
Feeling like they were acting like a cheesy couple, Seol Hee opened her mouth. Eun Woo gently placed the peeled shrimp inside.
The soft flesh touched her tongue. His fingertips unintentionally grazed her lips as he fed her, sending a strange sensation through her body.
Was shrimp always this tasty?
Sweet, salty, and soft.
Chewing thoughtfully without fully grasping the taste, Seol Hee looked up at Eun Woo with wide eyes.
“It’s delicious. I feel bad that Eun Woo did everything.”
“I’m glad.”
Eun Woo smiled again.
Why does he keep smiling?
“Why do you keep laughing?”
“Just. Can’t I laugh?”
“Yes. It’s scary.”
Unlike Seol Hee, whose thoughts were transparent, Eun Woo’s thoughts were indecipherable.
Even now, as he smiled with his lips curled up, it was unclear what he found amusing.
Maybe there’s some gochujang on me?
She slightly stuck out her tongue to lick her lips, where a glossiness shone on the red surface. Then, reaching for a tissue far away to wipe it off.
Suddenly.
His hand gently reached out, grasping Seol Hee’s wrist.
“I think I pushed you too hard yesterday, I tried to hold back today.”
“…”
“Seol Hee, you’re too tempting, I couldn’t resist.”
And in an instant, Eun Woo moved closer.
No, teacher. When did I ever tempt you…
All I did was drink soju and eat spot prawns.
But before she could voice her protest, Eun Woo’s actions overtook her words.
“Hmm.”
Their hot lips met, and their breath intertwined.
What’s going on, Dr. Ok.
Eun Woo, who was always skilled and rational, was now acting so differently.
Just a meal and Seol Hee wiping her lips had led to this chaos. It seemed insane.
Yet she couldn’t push him away. How could she?
“Ah.”
His breath was so sweet.
His hands, skilled at everything, deftly explored her in the most intimate ways.
Eventually, the two shared a long, deep kiss on the deck, unable to finish their meal.
Once again.
And again.
Gradually, their kissing continued inside the room. After spending a while, they both fell into a light sleep. Waking up and regaining her senses, Seol Hee gently extricated herself from his embrace, rolling onto the floor.
“Oops.”
As she got up, his body caught her eye, and she didn’t know where to look. Fumbling, she reached out to cover his lower half with a blanket.
I’ve done it again!
I should have stopped it before it got this far. All because of those darn spot prawns.
“Are you awake?”
“Uh? Yes!”
Startled by Eun Woo’s sudden voice, Seol Hee jumped.
Her voice, hoarse from the night’s activities, croaked out. But Eun Woo, seemingly unbothered, murmured,
“I might have overdone it again. How’s your head? Any hangover?”
“I’m fine. Totally okay.”
Despite the caring tone, she couldn’t bring herself to turn around, just blinking. Then, he asked again,
“Where are you going?”
“To get dressed.”
“Don’t go. There’s nothing to do anyway.”
Drawn back to the bed by his hand, Seol Hee found herself enveloped in his arms again.
“Can’t we just stay like this for a bit longer?”
“Uh, um.”
“I won’t ask for anything strenuous.”
“Okay.”
“I won’t ask for another round.”
“Can I really trust him?” Seol Hee eyed Eun Woo suspiciously, and he responded with a mischievous smile, rubbing his overnight stubble against her shoulder, causing a flush of redness to spread.
“Just 10 more minutes like this.”
“Yes, okay.”
Trapped in his embrace, Seol Hee’s ears turned bright red, eliciting chuckles from him.
“Seol Hee, you must have had a hard time in Jeju, right? The flight delays because of the typhoon.”
Monday morning.
The sky had cleared up as if the typhoon had been a lie. Fortunately, they were able to take the first flight to Seoul on Monday, and after dropping off her luggage at home, Seol Hee rushed to the clinic for her afternoon shift.
“It was fine. The flight back didn’t even shake.”
Responding to the manager’s greeting, the manager tilted her head, examining Seol Hee’s face.
“You look unusually refreshed for someone who just returned from a conference. Did you have fun in Jeju?”
“Fun? Ha-ha, no…”
Scenes she couldn’t dare speak of flashed through her mind, and Seol Hee hastily shook her head.
“Nothing happened. But, where is everyone?”
Neither the director who would have covered for Eun Woo, Dr. Choi Yi Hyun, nor the other technicians were in sight.
“Oh, there was a bit of commotion this morning while you were away,” the manager explained, sighing deeply.

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.”
