Sulhee never liked her name. It reminded her of cold, wintry snow. But now, coming from Dr. Ok’s mouth, her name sounded incredibly warm and deep.
“Dr. Ok, I…”
As she whispered with moist lips, considering what to say, Dr. Ok curled the corner of his lips in a smile.
“I hate hearing that ‘Dr. Ok’.”
“…….”
“You seem to draw a line between us, and I hate that.”
So, what should I call him? If not ‘Dr. Ok’.
“Call me by my name.”
“…….”
What should she call him?
He was slightly older than her. She couldn’t just call him ‘Eunwoo’, and adding ‘Mr.’ might be too formal. While she was confused, an unusual noise startled her.
Creak.
What was that? Startled, she looked towards the source of the sound and saw the storage door half open with the manager standing there, looking awkward.
Their eyes met.
Did she see Dr. Ok and me kissing? Maybe it was too dark for her to see. Clinging to that slim hope, but…
“Uh… I just…”
The manager’s face spread into an uncomfortable smile. It was very unlike her usual self.
“I thought Sulhee went to get skewers for marshmallows and was taking too long, so I thought something might have happened. Ha ha. Ha ha, but nothing happened. Ha ha, I came for nothing.”
“…….”
“I saw nooooothing. I didn’t see Sulhee and Dr. Ok. Really, I didn’t see anything, oh my, why is it so hot? It’s summer, right?”
She saw it.
The manager was usually talkative, but not to this extent. Her drawn-out words were a clear giveaway.
“I’ll go ahead, don’t worry and take your time. Really take your time, okay? Ha ha ha.”
The manager waved her hand, shut the door tightly, and left.
“What should I do?”
Just thinking about that day made Sulhee’s face heat up. Even while changing for work, the memory of Dr. Ok covering her lips flashed in her mind, making her shake her head again. The thrilling sensation enveloped her body, but she shook her head to forget it.
“Am I crazy? Am I out of my mind?”
With a man she wasn’t even dating. In her uncle’s barn storage. It wasn’t just a kiss.
“There’s no need to hold back.”
Her lips brushed against his ear.
She hadn’t thought of anything at that moment. Alone in the narrow storage room with him, the heat just made her feel buoyant.
So she whispered something she normally wouldn’t.
“Is there a reason to hold back?”
“…….”
“Let’s not hold back, us.”
Thinking about it again, what she said was terrible. What was she thinking? Even if they were alone in the storage room, all the hospital staff were outside.
“Crazy.”
Where did this seduction come from, huh? It’s all because of Dr. Ok. How am I not supposed to fall for someone so good-looking and sweet?
Muttering like a madwoman, she heard the door open behind her. The manager entered and greeted her brightly.
“Sulhee, good morning.”
“Good morning.”
As she replied, Sulhee looked in the mirror. Her face was flushed from recalling the incident. She quickly averted her eyes, fearing her thoughts might be noticed by the manager.
“I’ll start cleaning outside.”
“Okay, go ahead.”
After that day, the manager acted very naturally, but Sulhee couldn’t. She couldn’t look the manager in the eye. She felt guilty, as if she had done something wrong.
And then…
“Good morning, Sulhee.”
“Good morning.”
As she stepped outside, Eunwoo, who had arrived early, greeted her. His flawless, clear skin sparkled in the bright morning sunlight. The sharp bridge of his nose, soft lips…
Lips…
Stop looking.
Sulhee bowed her head and quickly went to the back.
Since that day, she couldn’t look properly at the manager, and even Eunwoo. Her heart raced, she didn’t know what to say, and she was embarrassed by her own longing for his kisses.
“What should I do, really.”
It wasn’t that she disliked Eunwoo. On the contrary… rather…
But the problem was she didn’t know what to do next.
Sulhee was reeling from emotions she had just begun to acknowledge.
“…Cute.”
Eunwoo laughed upon seeing Sulhee turn red around the ears and flustered, unable to even greet him properly as soon as he arrived at work.
For a while, he couldn’t figure out what Sulhee was thinking, but now it seemed he had a rough idea.

Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.

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.
