“Excuse me?”
Her hand paused in confusion, and then the sound of the door opening was heard.
Dajeong held the dress with both hands and hurriedly stepped into it. As she pulled it up, the soft lining tightly embraced her waist and hips.
Grabbing the trailing hem, Dajeong hastily exited.
Miyeon stood in front of the large wall mirror. Her glamorous features stood out even more against the modest outfit.
She turned her gaze, playfully unraveling her twisted eyebrows.
“Dajeong, did you not find it strange when you saw the article about Taesang today?”
“…I did.”
Dajeong nodded slowly.
The perfectly timed disappearance of the article, coupled with the unusually hostile media coverage directed at Taesang. It was too intricate to be a mere coincidence.
“Taesang did something extremely reckless to protect you, Dajeong.”
“Reckless… What did he do?”
She felt her heartbeat quickening. Suppressing her uneasy feelings, Dajeong looked at her.
“He said they could write any article related to him, but they shouldn’t touch you. It was more like a request… or maybe a threat?”
Even with Miyeon’s teasing smile, Dajeong couldn’t bring herself to smile. Miyeon lightly touched Dajeong’s stiff shoulders.
“So, this time, please look into it. No matter how angry you are… If he went this far, isn’t it worth forgiving?”
She slightly narrowed one eye. It was an excessively playful expression, but for some reason, Dajeong felt like she might burst into tears.
I doubted such a man. A man who threw himself into the world to stop an article about me from being published.
I hated myself for looking at him with the shackles of guilt.
Taesang had always treated me with sincerity. It was just that, as usual, words were not enough.
I wished he trusted me more, waited for me a little longer. I felt sorry for not getting closer, knowing it was difficult for him to express himself.
Unknowingly, my eyes became warm.
“Hey, why are you crying again? Anyway, that guy Cha Taesang is completely at fault.”
“But earlier, you said to forgive him.”
Dajeong sniffed and spoke with a muffled voice.
“That’s different.”
Miyeon shrugged and took out a lipstick from her clutch. It was a wine-colored product matching her dress.
“Even without makeup, you have a pretty face… But the dress is so dark that you should at least apply this much.”
After saying that, she opened the lipstick and extended it. Then, she gently swept it across Dajeong’s lips from left to right.
“The dress color is so deep; you should put some on.”
After making that statement, she slightly turned her head away.
Dajeong followed her gaze absentmindedly. Suddenly, an unfamiliar figure filled her vision.
The red dress, flowing like a stream over her body, looked even redder against the white skin. The trailing hem below her knees resembled a slightly bloomed flower.
“Now, let’s quickly put this on and go meet Taesang.”
Miyeon tossed her shoes away and said, prompting Dajeong to quickly reach out and catch them.
“It’s okay with the shoes. Who’s going to see the shoes anyway?”
“Dajeong, are you planning to sweep the floor with the hem of your dress?”
“Ah…”
Only then did I realize that I was holding the trailing hem in my hands.
Dajeong changed her shoes without saying a word. If she went out like this, she would likely step on her own dress before cleaning the floor.
The pointed black high heels snugly encased her feet. Dajeong let go of the skirt she had been holding and looked at Miyeon.
“Miyeon, thank you so much.”
“Oh, come on. I just took off what you were wearing, no big deal.”
“No, it’s not that…”
Dajeong’s gaze filled with puzzlement.
“Thank you for staying by Taesang’s side as a friend.”
Miyeon’s eyes curved delicately like a crescent moon. Even her gaze was as clear as moonlight.
Secretary Kim dimmed the living room lights and entered the sub-room.
Will a mere 10-minute break improve his condition?
Taesang, who had treated himself more harshly than any machine, seemed unlikely to recover with just a short rest now that he had reached his limit.
He sighed deeply and sent a text to Secretary Choi at the venue.
‘How is the situation at the event?’
‘It just started. I delivered the congratulatory speech to Vice President Yoon.’
‘How’s the chairman’s reaction?’
‘He seems quite surprised. Isn’t Vice President supposed to be someone who wouldn’t delegate his work to others?’
Secretary Kim peeked outside the door. If Taesang was sleeping, should she cancel the schedule altogether? However, Taesang was still pressing his abdominal area firmly.
Secretary Kim busied herself with her hands again.
‘I’ll come down in about 10 minutes. Be prepared.’
Just as she was about to press the send button, she received a call from Secretary Choi. She closed the door, went to one corner of the room, and answered the phone.
“What’s the matter?”
He spoke in a calm voice.
“Secretary Kim, I received a call from the security team. It seems that Vice President’s fiancée is here at the venue.”
“What? What does that…?”
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.”
