Dahyun was confused at this point, wondering if Kim Yoonhee had lost her mind or if she had a genuine reason to contact her.
After washing up and coming out, Dahyun lifted the flipped-over mobile phone, thinking that she probably wouldn’t receive any more calls. However, she was still getting calls from Kim Yoonhee.
Even the momentarily paused messages started coming in again.
Dahyun, I know you don’t want to see my contact messages.
Of course, I know what I don’t want to see.
When I went to Dahyun’s house and said those things, it was because of jealousy. I’m unhappy, and because Dahyun is living happily, I felt a pang of jealousy.
I’m sorry for being too arrogant and impolite.
“How can a person change like this?”
The messages continued to flash incessantly on the screen. From the content of the messages, it seemed like Kim Yoonhee was repenting for whatever she had done.
However, Dahyun knew that Kim Yoonhee was up to something.
Even if Kim Yoonhee said something, Dahyun had no intention of meeting her again, but seeing her persistent contacts for over an hour made her wonder if the content of the sent messages was genuine.
Holding the mobile phone in her hand, Dahyun hesitated whether to reply to Kim Yoonhee.
At this point, she thought she should at least reply to one message, but then she hesitated, fearing that she might regret sending it hastily.
“Would it be worse if I did it here?”
Dahyun wondered why Kim Yoonhee was so obsessed with telling her the truth through text messages. The urgency felt beyond passing it off as a lie.
I won’t regret it. Please, just answer the phone once. Even if it’s just for a minute, let’s talk.
“Just one minute.”
Does Kim Yoonhee have something to say within one minute?
“What on earth is left to say?”
It seemed strange that Kim Yoonhee suddenly wanted to confess or feel guilty to her. Her sudden change contradicted her attempt to separate Minhyuk from her.
Okay. I’ll give you exactly one minute.
In the end, Dahyun decided to give Kim Yoonhee one minute of her time.
Whether spending one minute with Kim Yoonhee would have any meaningful impact was unknown. But Dahyun thought she might hear how big a lie Kim Yoonhee had told.
She wasn’t particularly excited or curious about her story.
Rather, she was more curious about how Minhyuk was doing right now. She didn’t expect him to remain silent even after regaining her memory.
“I might be more comfortable sorting out my feelings on this side.”
Despite trying to make a clean break and leaving the house, hearing his voice might make her caught emotions sway significantly.
Knowing the facts, perhaps he didn’t contact her on purpose.
Perhaps he had no choice.
After sending a reply to Kim Yoonhee, Dahyun waited as if expecting an immediate response, as the number blinked on the screen.
Dahyun stared at the number displayed on her mobile phone before pressing the call button.
“Hello?”
[Dahyun, thank you for taking my call. I’m really grateful.]As soon as Dahyun answered the call, she raised her eyebrows at Yoonhee’s voice, choked with gratitude. It felt completely different from when Yoonhee came to her house and berated her with a lofty tone. Instead, it felt like Yoonhee was being cautious, receiving the call with gratitude as if sincerely pleased.
During this time, Dahyun had suspected whether Yoonhee had lost her mind.
“Ms. Kim Yoonhee, I didn’t answer your call to hear your gratitude. What do you want to say to me? Is there something more I need to know?”
Dahyun counted one minute in her mind as she spoke. She believed that since she had fulfilled Yoonhee’s request, it was only fair that she learned whatever she was curious about.
[Well, um…]Yoonhee stammered, trailing off at the end of her words. Dahyun felt an immediate regret for picking up the phone.
She was about to end the call as soon as she heard the main point, but it seemed that Yoonhee had no intention of getting to the point.
“Ms. Kim Yoonhee, we don’t have time for a lengthy conversation. I’ve done what I can on my end. I’ve barely gathered my thoughts, so why are you contacting me again, causing confusion?”
[I-I’m sorry, Dahyun.]Answering the phone wasn’t to receive an apology from Yoonhee. Dahyun bit her upper lip, grinding her teeth against her soft flesh.
“Don’t pretend to be close and call me by my name. Almost a minute has passed. When a minute is up, I’ll end the call.”
Forty seconds had passed. As Dahyun heard Yoonhee’s voice, memories of the hardships caused by her and the disdainful gaze returned.
Yoonhee had never spoken cautiously or respectfully to her like she did now.
Certainly, something must have happened during her absence. Otherwise, there was no reason for Yoonhee to approach her with such a lowly attitude.
“It’s been 48 seconds.”
Apparently, Yoonhee was surprised and stammered, making a confused sound.
[I lied. I’m really sorry. Dahyun, I had no choice. Please understand that I didn’t do it because I wanted to. I’ll tell you the truth now. Please…]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.”
