Jeho, whose sensitivity was at the extreme, knew who it was just by hearing footsteps. His unsettled mind was not helped by the shaky progress in Ha Jaewoo’s investigation.
According to Director Jung’s quiet investigation, it seemed that Director Kwon Seok-pil of Yonghyeon Mental Hospital didn’t easily confess.
As the shareholders’ meeting approached, the tension grew sharper. Heo Heontae seemed indifferent, trusting the shareholders’ wise choice, but Jaeho wanted to prepare for every variable.
At such a time, Lee Jinmyeong came to see Jaeho.
Lee Jinmyeong stepping into the headquarters was a rare occasion after several years. Somehow, considering the bigger issue, Jaeho didn’t have the luxury to attach meaning to his uncle’s behavior.
“What’s going on?”
“Oh. Let’s grab a bite nearby. But why do you look like you’re dying?”
Lee Jinmyeong said, crumpling down to sit any way he liked. Jaeho finished organizing the approval documents and approached the sofa, sitting on the opposite side.
“Oh, my sister-in-law is right. Why does your face look like this? Did you rot? Tell the actress.”
“…Rotten. Uncle. Talk to the actress.”
“What would saying it’s rotten do? Don’t you look in the mirror?”
Jaeho looked at Jinmyeong with an expression as if he wanted to pin him down. A strange uncle, someone with a unique talent for somehow lightening up the situation.
“Hey, wait. I’ll show you a mirror. Here, with my phone……. ”
“Ah, it’s okay.”
Jaeho chuckled and pushed away Jinmyeong’s arm. This was the first time he had laughed even a bit since parting with Dajeong, and thanks to it, the atmosphere became more relaxed.
“Did you have a fight with your girlfriend?”
“Why did you come? Uncle, let’s talk about something else.”
“Hey, man. Be good. Men have to be good no matter what.”
“It doesn’t seem like the kind of talk for my uncle.”
“Actually, I’m a dating expert.”
As if it were a significant secret, Jinmyeong leaned forward and spoke with a confident expression. Jaeho chuckled once again.
Jinmyeong, who had been quietly observing the scene, grumbled.
“Looking at your face, gugbap won’t do. Let’s go eat Hanwoo. Anyway, you’re a damn expensive kid.”
“No, Uncle, when did you spend money on me?”
“Now.”
Jinmyeong laughed heartily.
“What do you know about what I’ll give you.”
“I don’t need anything, Uncle.”
Jinmyeong laughed loudly.
“What will I give? Uncle, what kind of joke is this again…”
“30 years ago, the voice of little brother.”
Jaeho froze for a moment.
“…A conversation plotting a crime.”
“Uncle…?”
“Even now? Aren’t you curious?”
While smiling, Jinmyeong, with a serious look in his eyes, pulled Jaeho once again. Jaeho, already shocked, followed him easily this time.
“We have a lot to talk about, but let’s eat first. What are you going to do with a face that looks like it’s going to collapse right away?”
**
The night before, having made a big decision, Jinmyeong changed the batteries and pressed the play button. Fortunately, the red light on the recorder lit up.
“It still works.”
It was a recorder he received as a birthday present from Jinwoo. Remembering his brother’s face when he gave the gift, Jinmyeong pressed the play button with courage.
[…Right. Like that… If you remove the brake oil, the brakes will fail. It’s going to rain, so… Make sure to keep it a secret.]The voice of young Jinhyeok flowed from the recorder. Even hearing it again, it was a suffocating truth.
[…If you want to go on a business trip, you can drive this broken car.]Unable to listen any further, he pressed the stop button and closed his eyes for a moment.
Jinmyeong, who was much younger than his brothers, started recording when his brothers didn’t keep promises out of frustration. They couldn’t make false promises that they would play like a game anymore because of the constant recording. It was a time when he was called the detective of the house, collecting evidence.
It was a day when he hid in Seojae because he didn’t want to take private lessons.
It was a day when Jinmyeong, hiding in Seojae because he didn’t want to have private lessons, came into Seojae with a man. Jinmyeong quickly hid under the desk.
Young Jinmyeong didn’t understand all the conversation, but he could sense that his younger brother was plotting something. Unknowingly, I pressed the record button.
After a while, there was an accident.
The house was turned upside down. Younger brother and sister-in-law were crying and restless, and mother fainted. Amidst the barrage of reporters, Father locked himself in the study with a grim expression. Jinmyeong found all of these situations overwhelming.
A few days later, while listening to the recording again by chance, Jinmyeong realized that Jinhyeok’s plot had killed his older brother and was shocked.
Why.
Because of power? What’s the point of that?
Jinhyeok shamelessly pretended to be the eldest son, soothing everyone and comforting his mother and father with a helpless expression, saying they should rely on him now.
Without hiding his resentment, Jinmyeong shouted.
“Big brother, it’s not an accident. It’s murder! We need to investigate again. Father, believe me.”
Upon hearing this, Jinhyeok glared at Jinmyeong with a fierce gaze.
“Why are you saying that? Do you know something? Do you have evidence?”
Jinmyeong saw that look in his younger brother’s eyes for the first time. The eyes that flickered like a snake had a chilling effect. If I honestly say that I have a recording file, what will happen to me? Will I end up dead like my older brother?
A primal fear surged, and Jinmyeong swallowed hard.

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.”
