Dajeong looked up at him while still holding onto his arm.
“Yes? Are you leaving?”
“……Yeah.”
Taesang replied with a somewhat absent-minded voice. It seemed that even for him, the first fist bump felt a bit unfamiliar.
Hyunoh, with furrowed brows, looked at Taesang, then shifted his gaze to Dajeong. Although he didn’t say anything, it felt like he was clearly asking, “Who are you?”
Taking in that gaze, Dajeong headed towards the exit. But just before leaving, she quickly opened her mouth as if remembering the purpose of coming here.
“Oh, right. I’ll go settle the bill. Wait a moment.”
Whether it was just before leaving or not, Dajeong spoke hurriedly.
Dajeong released the fist bump and quickly walked away.
Left behind, Taesang followed the departing Dajeong with eyes full of regret. Watching this, Hyunoh lightly tapped Taesang’s shoulder.
“Shall I take care of the bill? I’d like to give you a little gift.”
“…….What?”
Perhaps he touched on some sensitive area. A sharp gaze quickly flew and struck him.
“Why, why…”
“I can’t do what I can’t.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Sigh…”
Taesang let out a big sigh and averted his gaze.
“What’s with you. Why can’t you?”
“I don’t want to make you uncomfortable.”
“Oh…”
Understanding the situation that was unfolding, Hyunoh nodded slowly.
From the beginning, he found it strange that they were shopping here instead of coming to the VIP showroom.
With a hopeful tone, Hyunoh spoke.
“Don’t worry too much. Just adjust gradually.”
“…?”
Taesang looked at Hyunoh with a puzzled expression.
“It’s something that couples with a difference in financial power all go through. Of course, in your case, since you… may take a while to adjust due to going a bit overboard.”
Hyunoh patted Taesang’s shoulder again, boosting his confidence.
A coffee shop located on the top floor of the department store.
Hyunoh’s face, while he was telling a long story, looked quite serious.
“So, that’s why I don’t bother with maintaining my appearance; it’s all part of the strategy, you see. A strategy to make patients treat me warmly.”
“Ah… I see.”
Hyunoh was more agile and shameless than she thought. Above all, he was incredibly talkative.
At first, she wondered how two people so different could become friends. However, as they talked, it was easy to find the reason.
Their differences filled each other without pushing one another away. Cheerful Hyunoh was needed for the rigid Taesang, and Taesang’s determination was necessary for the fickle Hyunoh.
“Anyway, so I’ll continue to go around looking quaint like this.”
He cheerfully concluded his speech.
“Earlier, you chose my clothes so carefully…”
Dajeong lightly teased.
“Yes, I did. I even bragged about being the son of a department store. Oh, I thought about it; from now on, I’ll just say I’m the son of a general store. Then it’s okay to go around looking quaint like this.”
Laughter burst out at Taesang’s seemingly serious expression. Dajeong picked up the coffee to soothe her stiffened throat. Taking a refreshing sip, Taesang straightened his throat and spoke.
“Leaving that aside, what do you want to eat for dinner later?”
“…Huh?”
She anticipated it, but his friendliness easily surpassed Earth’s limits. Dajeong naturally looked at Taesang. True to form, his eyebrows were furrowed with tension.
“Whatever we eat, you won’t be there, so there’s no need for you to choose.”
“Hey, it’s better to eat together if we’re going to. Right, Dajeong?”
“Not really.”
Taesang quickly cut off Hyunoh’s words. It was evident that he clearly read the signs of Dajeong, who was about to give in due to her weak heart.
Then, as if finding it amusing, Hyunoh raised the corner of his mouth.
“Why not?”
“…”
Dajeong looked at the two with a slightly tense gaze.
From their conversation so far, it was apparent that Hyunoh had a generous personality, but there was a persistent side that emerged in critical moments. This time, what he wanted seemed to be Taesang’s interesting reaction.
“It’s our date.”
“…”
“So, no.”
With a determined look in his eyes, Taesang looked at Hyunoh. It was a straightforward and confident attitude, as if to say, “Isn’t this what you wanted to hear?” Hyunoh, seeming pleased, leaned back against the chair as if collapsing.
“Wow… It feels like I might die today. Cha Taesang saying something like that… It feels like my heart is pierced…”
“If it’s pierced, then go now.”
His voice saying that was higher and softer than usual, with a hint of excitement. Dajeong gently touched his face. The corners of his mouth were subtly curved.
Indeed, they were both happy together.
Dajeong wanted to make him a little more, no, a lot more excited.
“That’s right. Since it’s our date, Mr. Hyunoh, you should stop now.”
Dajeong said playfully while bumping fists. She felt a slight tremor as she rested her head lightly on his shoulder.
“…”
What is this firm feeling?
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.”
