Min Hyuk, who had changed the topic, brought up something that happened in the morning.
“Oh, by the way, your sisterinlaw called this morning.”
He knew she would freak out and hate to hear it.
“Huh? From Ji Yeon?”
Drinking water, Da Hyun choked as she heard the news.
With wide eyes, she put down her cup. After her coughing subsided, Da Hyun brushed her neck with her hand.
He seemed momentarily confused, not understanding why she was acting this way. He furrowed his brows in frustration.
“Uh huh. You said you didn’t get a call?”
“Me?”
She pulled out her cell phone from her pocket to check, but there were no signs of missed calls in her call history.
It was clearly a lie, probably made up just to call Min Hyuk.
“No call came.”
Da Hyun stuck out her tongue at such an obvious trick.
“Did Ji Yeon contact you about something?”
“She said she wanted to see our newlywed home, so I told her to come.”
“What?!”
“Since I wanted to keep my word from yesterday at the department store, I invited her over for dinner tonight. I’m a man who likes to keep his promises.”
He casually used the words ‘sisterinlaw’ and ‘newlywed home’ despite not even considering Ji Yeon as his sisterinlaw. He was certainly a new groom.
“Why, why did you invite Han Ji Yeon to your house without permission? This is not only your house, Kang Min Hyuk. I wish you would realize that.”
“I’m well aware. That’s why I invited her.”
Da Hyun’s forehead creased. He invited her to his house without her consent, yet he said he knew it well?
“If I lived alone, I wouldn’t let any woman in.”
“Why are you saying this now?”
When she gave him a disbelieving look, Min Hyuk raised his hands.
“Because my wife seems to view me as a lewd person?”
At the playful tone, Da Hyun bit the soft flesh inside her mouth.
Min Hyuk lowered his hand, grinning lightly.
“Han Ji Yeon has been messing with you.”
“……”
“I am a good husband who stands by my wife, not my sisterinlaw.”
Da Hyun couldn’t hide her stunned expression.
Min Hyuk, with a soft tone, seemed to assure her that even if the world was against her, he would be on her side.
“I plan to slowly trample on the people who have harassed my wife.”
His choice of words didn’t quite match his soft tone.
However, Da Hyun didn’t find his words unpleasant at all.
It seemed like it had been a while since someone had said they would protect her. Or was this the first time? She wasn’t sure.
Because of that, her heart throbbed and pounded fiercely.
“I, I don’t need your help, Kang Min Hyuk.”
On purpose, Da Hyun drew a colder line towards him.
“You didn’t need help, so you’ve been hiding and pretending to be someone else until now?”
Da Hyun’s lips twitched, but she closed her mouth.
“How did you know, Kang Min Hyuk?”
It felt like he could see right through her. It had been the same when they first met.
He acted as if he knew her well.
“Your eyes.”
“My eyes?”
Again, Da Hyun tilted her head at his obscure response.
“Your eyes didn’t seem to be smiling at all at first. Even though you found the situation bothersome, your tone was soft and wellmannered.”
Min Hyuk gave her a detailed explanation as if it wasn’t difficult, explaining how he got to know about her.
“Did I do that?”
“Yes, you did.”
Da Hyun tried to recall the encounter she had with Min Hyuk from where she stood, but she couldn’t remember what look she had given him.
“Your fatherinlaw and motherinlaw said they would have a hard time attending, so your sisterinlaw said she would come alone. She will arrive for dinner at 6 p.m. Let’s show a married relationship that others would envy.”
What do you mean by a genuine married relationship?
Da Hyun kept pressing her lips together and then releasing them.
Don’t say unnecessary things. There was nothing good about being swayed by him.
It had only been three days of married life, and it already felt like she was being swayed, but Da Hyun pretended not to notice.
“It’s strange to ask you not to come all of a sudden when you’ve made a promise, so this time, I’ll move as Mr. Kang Min Hyuk wishes. But next time, I wish you wouldn’t decide on your own.”
“I got it.”
Da Hyun clenched the cup she had put down after saying she would prepare on time.
Suddenly, she wondered what kind of life Kang Min Hyuk, this man, had lived.
But it had to stop at curiosity.
There was nothing good about being curious about a contractual relationship.
“I’m going back upstairs to lie down.”
“Alright, do that.”
“Yes.”
Da Hyun passed by Min Hyuk and left the kitchen.
Min Hyuk did not hold Da Hyun back anymore. He felt sorry for not being able to have more conversation, but he was okay.
Without even blinking, Min Hyuk watched her retreating figure with his eyes wide open.
He felt it was a waste of time to close his eyes when he looked at her.
It was 30 minutes after the promised time that Ji Yeon, who had arrived late, laid out a good excuse for being late.
Both Min Hyuk and Da Hyun could clearly see Ji Yeon’s lies, but they let it slide lightly.
They had figured out that something was up from the moment Ji Yeon said she wanted to come home.
“Brotherinlaw, thank you so much for inviting me to your home.”
Ji Yeon, ignoring Da Hyun, cut the tender fillet with a knife, focusing only on Min Hyuk.
“Brotherinlaw, have you adapted to life in Korea?”
Da Hyun was unfazed by the situation, which was no different from yesterday.
“I had a hard time adjusting when I returned to Korea. It was really hard to adjust to the time difference. How about you, brotherinlaw?”
Whether she was trying to get something from him by managing her image, or if she was targeting him, it was unclear, but it was satisfying to see her trying so hard it was almost tearinducing.
“Da Hyun, try this.”
“Ah, thank you.”
“Min Hyuk didn’t respond, he quietly listened to Ji Yeon’s words and placed the sliced tenderloin on Da Hyun’s plate.
Suddenly, the chattering Ji Yeon became silent.
“Don’t thank me. From now on, take it for granted.”
“Me? Yeah, I will.”
Min Hyuk placed the plate that had been in front of Da Hyun back in front of her.
Da Hyun looked down at the finely cut steak.
Was she going to take revenge by being cringey in front of Ji Yeon?
“I just wanted to cut it for you. I can’t feed you in front of my sisterinlaw.”
“Thank you.”
He curled the corner of his lips as he cut the steak again.
A newlywed vibe was emanating from Min Hyuk.
Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
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.”
