With this, Director Jang, after only a month and a half working by Tae Seo’s side, ignored the request of Chairman Kang, whom she served for 17 years. She decided to stand fully on Tae Seo’s side.
That doesn’t mean she could suddenly neglect a report due to Chairman Kang Shin Jae, she planned to selectively omit and filter out the information.
Director Jang had good instincts. A smile spread across her lips, foreseeing who the Kang Sun Group would fall into the hands of in the future.
On Monday, Seok Dong, who had taken a brief time to go to the department store, was in a good mood for the first time in a while.
He was dumped by Jae In on the previous Friday and had a terrible weekend, but as always, his mother was his panacea.
He spent the entire weekend receiving massages and shopping with his mother. Eating Gwang Soon’s special abalone rib stew, which perfectly suited his palate, he vented his anger.
As his mother said, there was no need for him to get angry because of such base things. Of course, Jae In was too beautiful to be considered base, but his mother promised that she would find a much more beautiful woman for him.
His mother had never broken a promise to Seok Dong. He had endured the week with just that thought.
He missed Jae In, who would be right upstairs, and he wanted to go back and question why she had rejected him, but he held back for that reason.
“My goodness, this suits our son perfectly. It’s completely our son’s style.”
“I like it too, Mom.”
“Let’s take this one. Size L is right, isn’t it?”
“Sir, would you like to try a size smaller? Then the shoulder and sleeve length will be…”
On Saturday, after the massage, he found a new coat he liked at the luxury department in the department store.
However, the employee suggested a size change, demonstrating professional spirit to his mother who insisted on size L for a body that would fit perfectly in size M.
“What are you talking about? Are you seeing our son as a skinny anchovy or what? Miss, are you a newbie?”
“……I’m sorry.”
“I’m speechless. Check the size again and give it properly. Oh, don’t forget to adjust the sleeve length and shoulder width.”
The employee, who had received a harsh rebuke for a wellmeaning suggestion, disappeared into the back of the store with her lips tightly closed and the coat in her hands. Seok Dong, who had been glaring at her until the end, once again smiled softly at his mother.
The price was astronomical, but as always, his mother didn’t hesitate to spend money for her only son.
“Will the alterations take long? How long will my son have to wait?”
“Ma’am, it will likely take about a week. If it’s okay with you, would you like us to deliver it to your home?”
“Mom, I’ll come and pick it up. There’s something I need to buy.”
“Just buy it now, why wait.”
“No, I have something to buy later. I’ll come to pick it up then.”
Seok Dong planned to buy Gwang Soon, who had comforted his wounded heart, a scarf from the same brand as the coat. He was just such a considerate and filial son.
“Sir, I’ll bring your altered coat.”
“There’s no rush. I’d love a cup of coffee. You know my taste, right? Americano, light.”
Seok Dong sipped the coffee handed by the employee and leisurely looked around. He clicked his tongue seeing people lined up outside other luxury brand stores.
“Good grief, everyone’s into luxury. It’s the havenots who are more desperate.”
There was no waiting line in front of the luxury store where Seok Dong bought his coat.
And for a good reason: only members who had accumulated more than the standard amount of luxury store consumption were allowed to enter, making this place a luxury store above luxury stores.
Seok Dong had been frequenting the luxury store in this department store for the past year to become a member here.
He had excessively used credit card installments several times. Thanks to that, he was still paying most of his monthly salary as installment payments.
“People even line up for those things and call them luxury. They’re like sparrows following a phoenix, not realizing they might tear their legs… There are just too many people who don’t know their place.”
The coffee served here seemed especially more aromatic. They surely used the highest grade beans.
Seok Dong was savoring the flavor of the coffee with his eyes closed. Suddenly sensing a change in the atmosphere, he turned his head in the direction where the employees were busily heading.
As a tall man entered the store, the employees stood upright, politely bringing their hands together and bowing.
“What’s this? Who is he?”
Seok Dong peevishly pursed his thin lips and set down his coffee cup.
The approaching man was even more remarkable up close. His chest and shoulders, indicative of superior masculinity, were truly broad. At a glance, his robust figure was breathtaking, even to other men.
He surpassed an average model in height, and his face was not lacking in comparison to toptier actors. Furthermore, his aura was extraordinary.
Perhaps due to his height, his lofty stature scanning the store with a sharp gaze from a high vantage point involuntarily made Seok Dong fold his already narrow shoulders like folding a piece of paper.
“I apologize. I should have prepared.”
“Why should you apologize, Manager Jang? Do birds announce before they poop while flying?”
“Well, that may be, but it could be bothersome for you, so if you’d like, we could prepare through a manager now…”
“I was planning to come to the department store to buy a gift for my grandmother anyway. I intended to pick it myself, so I didn’t think about calling a personal shopper. Ah, this coat looks good.”
The man, who was reading a pamphlet handed by the employee, pointed to the same coat Seok Dong had bought.
Seok Dong retracted his gaze from the man with a sly smile. The aroma of his coffee seemed more fragrant with the sense of victory of having secured a good item first.
“We’ll prepare it right away.”
Seok Dong watched in surprise as the employee disappeared into the interior of the store. The employee who had definitely told him that the coat he bought was the last one.
And a short while later, the employee came out with a largesized coat and helped the man put it on.
Seok Dong wanted to ask if they lied in a highend luxury store.
“How does it look in Manager Jang’s eyes? Does it look alright?”
“Yes. Considering it’s a rushed purchase, it seems alright.”
“Hmm.”
The man had a conversation with a petite woman standing behind him. Then he tilted his head this way and that, reflecting himself in the mirror.
Seok Dong checked the man’s reflection in the mirror and nearly dropped his coffee cup.

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.”
