“Mom probably did that only then. She gave birth to me alone in a distant country, hid the fact that I was a child of a father, and tried hard to raise me, making sure I didn’t feel the absence of a father.”
“…”
“In the end, the person who was my father, as a human being, wasn’t much. To the extent that my mom wanted to hide him from her daughter. To the point of considering him non-existent.”
For a moment, Daehoon’s triumphant eyes sank into gloom. Soon, the closed eyes weakened, and he sat down powerless.
In his younger days, it had always been him who grew impatient and worn out in the relationship with Yoon Sena.
He thought he had forcefully occupied the place beside her, which she did not allow for other men. When he finally thought she had her heart, Sena left him.
She was always a positive-minded person, living with a constant flow of people around her. However, she could be relentlessly cold when giving chances, only to cut off relationships in the end.
Daehoon had to face a truth he had denied and turned away from for 30 years. He didn’t abandon Yoon Sena. Yoon Sena abandoned him.
“Sigh…”
His sigh made his eyelids tremble. Sena closed her heart to a man who prioritized himself above all else and never gave the unqualified man an opportunity to celebrate and be happy about the birth and growth of the child.
“I will continue to live according to my mom’s wishes. From the beginning, as if I never had a dad, that’s how it is.”
“…”
“I came to tell you that.”
The one who grabbed Jaeein, trying to tidy up the room, was Daehoon’s gaze. Having closed his eyes in silence for quite some time, he still couldn’t look directly at Jaeein. His slightly twisted gaze focused on the slightly open door behind Jaeein.
“I, I… you…”
“Don’t say anything, please.”
Jaeein rose, shaking her head, to Daehoon, who was struggling to speak.
“I don’t want to hear anything.”
“…”
Turning her head slightly bowed, she turned away. Despite the lingering gaze full of regret, Jaeein never turned back.
After Jaeein entered, there was a loud noise several times. Taeseo, who was worried about her, eventually couldn’t bear it and opened the door of the meeting room.
It didn’t open completely. He just reminded himself of his presence through the thin gap and checked if she was okay. It was Taeseo’s consideration for Jaeein, who was meeting Jo Daehoon to finally conclude long-standing emotions.
He vowed to smile at her when the door opened. Regardless of how the people standing by, clasping only his hands anxiously, would look, Taeseo practiced smiling. But.
When Jaeein, who finally opened the door wide and came out, looked at Taeseo, he couldn’t smile. He realized that she was making an effort to show a smile with a trembling mouth.
In a hurry, Taeseo reached out to close the door of the meeting room. At the same time, he reached out with the other hand to embrace Jaeein.
“Miss Taeseo.”
“Yes.”
“Something’s wrong with my heart.”
“Yes.”
“We should be relieved. It happened as I wished.”
To calm her trembling voice, Taeseo hugged her tightly.
“I don’t want to cry.”
“Yes.”
“Buy me something delicious.”
“Yes.”
“I want to watch a fun movie.”
“Sure.”
“No, let’s go home. Let’s go to our house.”
With a determined gaze, Taeseo nodded as he gently stroked Jaeein’s hair, which she was holding tightly with a shaking expression.
That evening, the prosecution announced through a press briefing that Jo Daehoon, the former chairman of Hyeonyang Construction, had admitted to all charges related to him.
When they returned home, ate something delicious, and watched an entertaining movie, Jaeein, who fell asleep with her face buried in Taeseo’s embrace, was what happened that day.
Plop, an egg thrown from somewhere hit Seunghee’s shoulder and burst. Seunghee looked down at the egg flowing down the sleeve of her coat with squinted eyes, emitting a foul odor.
“Why should my daughter die! Why should my daughter die!”
Police officers were blocking and holding back a middle-aged woman rushing with a grim expression. Seunghee’s eyes, which discovered a group of people beyond the lined-up police rushing like a pack, shook with fear.
Click, click, the sound of a camera shutter, and with a loud bang, flashes went off. Seunghee, who was momentarily suspending the investigation and heading to the hospital under the pretext of waist surgery, tightly held onto the prosecutor next to her in the unfamiliar situation.
After the detention investigation of Ji Seunghee was decided, a child sponsored by the foundation attempted suicide due to the harassment and assault by foundation staff. Although she was discovered just before losing consciousness, the situation was critical.
“Are you aware of the ongoing abuse, harassment, and assault by the staff?”
“Is it true that you delegated the confirmation of sponsorship recipients to that staff member?”
“Were you aware that the staff member arbitrarily selected sponsors without following internal regulations?”
“Is it true that there is a romantic relationship with Choi Jihwan, who revealed these facts? Please respond!”
Choi Jihwan. Seunghee’s eyes flickered upon hearing the name of Choi, the secretary who disappeared before the incident came to light.
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.”
