She thought they would spend time together until nightfall, and then, in bed, things would start.
She never imagined that right upon entering the house, without even a sip of coffee, standing in front of a desk, he would initiate.
It was even more surprising.
“I didn’t plan this either.”
Contrary to his words, Do Han continued unbuttoning her blouse.
When the blouse was half-open, he lowered his lips to her flushed cheek.
“I can’t wait until night.”
His lips on her skin were so ticklish that Sa Rang shivered.
Suddenly, she felt scared about what was to come.
“Shall we eat dinner first?”
His voice was low and seductive, his gaze captivating. Sa Rang felt dizzy.
She knew it was just a rhetorical question, as he had no intention of stopping.
“No, it’s okay.”
“Then, shall we go to the bed?”
“……Yes.”
Her legs felt too weak to stand any longer, so going to the bed seemed the better option.
Even though she anticipated more intense stimulation there, it seemed the best choice for now.
She couldn’t collapse just from his kisses.
Do Han finished removing her blouse and neatly placed it on the desk.
He was still able to show such consideration.
Soon, even this kind of leisure would disappear.
Their kissing didn’t stop until Sa Rang’s legs reached the end of the bed.

Do Han kept kissing her while pulling her waist closer as they walked.
“Sa Rang.”
He looked down at her gently.
Sa Rang lying on my bed.
It felt so dreamlike that he called out her name.
“Sa Rang.”
“Why, what is it?”
Sa Rang found his gaze more intimidating than the kiss, making her tremble.
Though she only took off her blouse, she felt as exposed as if she were naked, her face burning with embarrassment.
Do Han, finding her adorable, kissed her lightly.
“I love you.”
Sa Rang’s eyes widened at that moment.
Her heart pounded as if it would burst out of her chest.
She came here to spend the night with him, but she never thought he would say he loves her.
But strangely, her heart didn’t swell with emotion, nor did tears come.
Maybe it was because she knew from the start, even when dating Do Han at twenty, that he didn’t say ‘I love you’ to his girlfriend, she never expected it.
She confessed first, and since she initiated the relationship, she was content even if he didn’t love her back.
The difficulty of their breakup was not because he stopped liking her, but because her feelings for him hadn’t ended.
Realizing his feelings were not love was the most painful part after their separation.
She had accepted that even his liking her was a misconception.
Now, five years later, she was hearing a confession of love from him.
It could be sincere, but it might also just be sweet nothings said in bed.
Sa Rang, who stopped believing in love because of Do Han, thought so.
“……Thank you.”
She couldn’t respond differently.
Saying ‘I love you too’ seemed the right answer, but somehow she couldn’t bring herself to say it.
For a moment, Sa Rang was confused whether she truly loved this man or was just trying to conclude an unfulfilled past love by spending the night with him.
She certainly liked him.
She wanted to throw herself into his arms without thinking.
Despite her heart’s warmth, her mind strangely cooled down.
When her reply to his confession was just a thank you, Do Han’s gaze wavered.
He seemed to realize she hadn’t fully forgiven him yet.
It was natural, considering how much he had hurt her.
He wondered if he was rushing things.
Just being by her side was a blessing, but it seemed like he was demanding her love.
Do Han moved away from her.
And then he hugged her tightly.
“Did I do something wrong?”
Sa Rang panicked, thinking she made a mistake since it had been a long time since she spent a night with a man.
“No.”
“Then why…”
“I want to hold you when you love me.”
Feeling utterly exposed, Sa Rang was at a loss for words.
Yet, she couldn’t bring herself to say that she loved him too.
Do Han stroked her head, as if understanding.
You did nothing wrong.
It’s all my fault.
I will love you more, so the hurt I caused can be healed.
“I’m sorry.”
“For what?”
“For disappointing you.”
“It’s not that. I’m just sorry.”
“Why are you, Oppa?”
“Just. Just everything…”
He caressed her face affectionately.

To lighten the heavy atmosphere, he even smiled.
“You might not believe it, but I haven’t dated anyone since we broke up.”
Sa Rang, who had been in his arms, pulled back slightly with a surprised look.
She found it hard to believe that he hadn’t dated anyone for five years, as he claimed.
“Really?”
Do Han nodded.
He had no intention of meeting anyone.
No other woman caught his eye.
He might not have actively sought out Sa Rang, not feeling worthy to reappear before her, but not a single day went by without him thinking of her.
For him, Sa Rang, engraved in his heart, was the only woman and his one true love.
“You don’t have to fall in love at first sight to become someone’s entire world.”
He gently pressed his lips against hers.
Then he looked into her clear eyes.
“When you’re blinded by that person, and just thinking of them makes your heart sing, stopping your world. When that person is etched in your eyes, and everything you see looks like them……”
Hearing her own words echoed back, Sa Rang’s eyes teared up.
The realization that this man had felt the same emotions was overwhelmingly touching.
“Sa Rang became my entire world like that. That’s why I couldn’t meet anyone else.”
Sa Rang felt both regret and sorrow for the times they longed for each other.
She wished she could return to her younger self when her love for him was growing and continue their first love.
She wanted to fall in love with him again, the one she loved at first sight.
Overwhelmed by emotion, Sa Rang buried herself in his embrace.
She buried her face in his chest, quietly shedding tears, and spoke to him in her heart.
To wait just a little longer.
The words ‘I love you’ wouldn’t take long.
Because in her world, Ji Do Han was still everything.

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.”
